OBJECTION ABLK TRAINS.
Said an old railway engineer
the other day: "There are three
kinds of trains that I do not want
to have anything to do with. One
is the pay train. You never know
when you will overtake the section
hands. You will be going at the
"rate of forty miles au hour; away
you go around a curve and you
will dash by the boss and hands
and have to go back to them.
There is alwavs a eood deal of
talk over the wages and much time
is taken up. The next unpleas
ant train to handle is an excursion
train. Everv one living alone: the
line of road knows you from see
ing you come by every day, and
they think you know them as well.
When on an excursion they pre
sume upon their friendship to en
deavor to ride on the engine. No
other .place will do them. The
engineer has to refuse them, as it
would amount to docking his
wages from thirty to sixty days
if he complied, as it is positively
against the rules of the road. The
person denied the privilege always
feels hard about it and looks upon
the engineer as unaccommodating
The last and the worst of all, how
ever, is the officer's train". - If you
run slow they say you are scared
and fear to run fast. If you make
gaod time they say you are care
less and reckless and want to kill
somebody. You can't suit them."

SHE PASSED AWAY.
The following true story is ful
of Bathos, but it reveals sucli an
odd ignorance of the conventiona
meaning of a customary phrase
that it will provoke a smile upon
the lips ol those who most sincere
ly feel the sadness of it.
Last winter the wife of a Ver
mont farmer came to California
broken down with consumption
in search of health. She came too
late, and though she rallied for
a while, never grew- strong again
and died a few- months ago. The
people with whom she had been
staving, telegraphed to the hits
band the fateful news, in tlies
woi-ds: "Your wife patsed away
quietly this morning." A little
more than two weeks after, came
a telegram lrom the husband say
ing: "My wife has not yet arrived
at home; do you know anything
of her?" The answer was- sent
back at once: "Wo telegraphed
at the time of the event that your
, wife had passed away on the 10th
of June." A month after this a
gentleman came to San Jose and
sought out the sender of the tele
gram. It was the husband of the
lady who had passed away. He
made inquiries about his wife, and
not until it was explained to him
in straight' Saxon speech did he
uaderstand the significance of the
phrase and know that his wife was
ctead.
EXTRAORDINARY HENS.
Seth Stevens, a Brookfield, Mass.,
hatter, noticed that one of his hens
was hardly able to walk. He shut
her in a coop and doctored her.
Ashe continued 'to grow more
feeble, yet showed no signs of sick
ness, he determined., to kill her.
In dressing her for the table he
found inside her six perfectly form
ei eggs, shells and all, and seven
fulhsized eggs -with soft shells.
Henry Hoter, of Orange, of the
same state, had a hen that walked
as though overloaded, and, lifting
her, he was surprised at her weight.
Being of a curious turn of mind he
killed her, performed an autopsy
and found twenty-six egg yolks
inclosed in one soft shell covering.
Each yolk was full size, and lacked
only the white to be a perfect egg.
The whole bunch was as large as a
cocoannt and weighed over three
pounds. Louisville Courier-Jour

" Clilid ren Cry for;
A POWERFUL FIRE BOAT.
The new fire boat which New
York will have next spring will be
one of the nautical wonders of the
port. She is to. throw four solid
four inch streams of watery and the
range of these streams will be
from 350 to 450 feet solid water,
not spray. It is asserted that the
firemen can bore through the brick
and stone walls along" shore with
ease with these streams just as
miners in the mountains bore into
and wash down the faces of solid
cliffs with streams carried' down
the mountain sides. To fully
comprehend the power of a four-
ineh stream it should be remem
bered that it is from eight to
twelve times as large in cross sec
tion as the streams irom t he ordi
nary fire engines, while the noz
zle velocity of the water is several
times greater. The efficiency of
such a stream is probably twenty
five times as great as the stream
from an ordinary engine. The
new boat will flood out a fire as
with a deluge anywhere within
2,000 feet of the water front.
WILL WE WRITE?
Will the coming man write?
Not at all. . There will be no more
need of his learning to write than
rf V i cj loorninfr irk em'n W7Vi fin
will have become one of the lost
arts and a wholly unnecessary art
by the time the coming man ap
pears. His writing will be aone
by the phonograph, which will be
placed on his desk as pen3 and ink
are now; and whenever he has
story, a poem, an essay or a private
letter to indite he will simply talk
into the phonograph and send on
the plate which has recorded his
words. The teaching of penman
ship w.'ll be unknewn in the schoo
of the future, and writing, in the
present fashion, will be regarded
as much among the barbaric
methods as we now hold the rude
hieroglyphics of theifncients to be

AN OLD LOVE -WAGER UNCLAIMED.
Samuel Condsf of Christian
Hook, L. I., seventy years old, has
in his possession $80 depositee;
with him as stakeholder. Twenty
hve years ago two young men
were both suitors for a girl's hand
Uue was rich ana the other poor
The poor man said he would bet
all the money he had in the world
that he would win the girl. The
total amount of his w?alth was
$40, and this he put up. The rich
man accepted the wager and
covered the $40 with another $40
the stakes being placed in the
hands ot Mr. Jonds. he poor
man won the girl, but disdrmed to
claim the stakes: Mr. Conds has
rreld them lor twenty-live years,
lie says he will keep the money
until he dies unless it is claimed
by the winner. N. Y. Tribune.
: SHE HAD A BITE.
Every one had his or her line
over the rail of the boat awaiting a
bite, when one freckled-faced gir
with auburn hair turned to the
young man with a downy mustache
and two watch chains, and ex
claimed:
"O! Augustus, I believe I have a
bite."
"Then pull in," ' he command
ed.
"But it may be'a great big fish
and he may Dull me into the
water." .
"I won't let him."
"But if he does?"
"I will save you or perish with
you."
"Then I will pull." '
She pulled and brought up a sea
robbiu about as big as your finger
The peril had passed. We sneered
at the catch, but they minded it
not. Not until that moment had
they daredacknowledge their love.
He was her'n and she was Jiis'n,
and they were very, very happy
as they spit on their bait fr
more luck. .

FOR WOMEN.
Susan B. Anthony
has 1 written
New York,
permanent to Mayor Grace, of
suggesting
that, one
building
of the worlds lair be
set
aside to women, for an exhibit of
their w.ork. "While the ' men ' of
the country," she says, "shall rear
temples in honor of Columbus, it
will surely be most fittling for the
women to celebrate the virtues of
Queen Isabella."

A DIG IN THE RIBS,
If on the right side and lower part of the
diaphragm, though playfully meant and de
livered, is calculated to evoke'' profanity
from a chappy whose liver is out of order.
When that region is sore and congested,
pokes seem fiendish. Look at a man's coun
tenance ere you prod him under the ribs.
If his skin and eyeballs have a sallow tinge,
you may infer also that his tongue is furred,
his breath apt to be sour," that he has' pains
not only beneath his ribs, but also, under.
the right shoulder-blade. Also, that his
bowels are irregular and his digestion im
paired. Instead of making a jocose demon
stration on his ribs, recommend him to take,
and steadily persist ia taking, Hostetttsr's
Stomach Bitters, the (inest anti-bilious
and alterative medicine exta.it. Incom
parable is it, also, for dyspepsia, rheuma
tism, nervousness, kidney trouble, and fever
