A ThxilHwg Tale of the Rail as Re- m r lated by William Nye. Once when u section crew came down the mountain on the South Park road from Alpine Tunnel to J3ucna vista, a very singular thing occurred, which has never been given to the public. Every one who knows anything at all, knows that riding down that mountain on a push car, descending at the rate of over two hundred feet to the mile, means utter destruction unless the brake is on. This brake is nothing more nor less than a piece of scantling which is applied between one of the wheels and the car bed in such a way as to pro duce great fiiction. The section crew referred to got on their Hancock with their bronzed and glowing hides as full of arsenic and rainwater as they could possibly hold. Being reck lessly drunk they enjoyed the accumulated velocity of the car wonderfully until the section boss lost the break off the car, and then theie was a slight feeling of anxiety. The car at last acquired a velocity like that of a young and froiicsome bob-tailed comet turned loose into space. The boys began to get nervous at last and asked each other what should be done. There seemed to be absolutely nothing to be done but to shoot onward into the golden presently. All at once the section boss thought of something. He was drunk, but the deadly peril of the moment suggested an idea. There was a rope on the car which would do to tie something heavy and cast off for an anchor. The idea was only partially successful, how ever for there was nothing to tie it to but a spike hammer. This was tried but it wouldn't work. Then it was decided. tot fie it to some one of the crew and cast liim loose in order to save the lives or those "who remained. It was a glorious opportunity. It yn&' & heroic thiug to do. ' It' "was like Arnold Winklered's great sacri fice by which victory was gained by filling his own system full of lances and making a toothpick holder of himself, in order that his comrades might break through the ranks of their foes. George O'Malley, the section boss, said that he was willing that Patsy McBride should snatch the laurels from the outrageous future and bind them on his brow, but Mr. McBride said he didn't care much for the economy of the world. He hadn't lost any cconi ums, and didn't want to trade his liver for two dollars' worth of damaged laurels. Everyone declined. All seemed willing to go down into history withoul any ten-line pay local, and wanted some one else to get the effulgence. Finally it was de- cided that a man by the name of Christian Christianson was the man to tie to. He had the asthma anyhow, and life wasn't much of an object to him, so they said that although he declined, he must take the nomination, as he was in the hands of his friends. The car slowed up and at last stopped still. The plan had suc ceeded. Five happy wives greeted their husbands that night as they returned from the jaws of destruc tion. Christian Christianson did not return. The days may come and the days may go, but Chris tian's "wife will look up towards the summit of the snow-ci owned mountain in vain. He will never entirely return. Ho has done so, partially of course, but thero are still missing frag ments of him, and it looks as though he must have lost his life. A Little Phrenology. Round-eyed persons see much, live much in the senses, but think less. Narrow-eyed persons, on the other hand, see less, but think more And feel more intensely. It will be observed that the ej'es of children are open and round. Their whole life is to receive impressions. Itk oaljr when childhood is nut- toward mtaheed -ad womanhood that thought comes at all But what is that most loads to reflection? Kvperience. Our errors, ou shortcomings, our fail ures these teach us to think bo fore we act, to consider each step, to weigh each moth o. When, therefore, the upper eyelid for it is that which has the greatest amount of mobility droops over the evo it indicates not merely 10 flection. but something painful to reflect about. Hence the length or drooping of the upper eyelid betokens confession and peni tence. The drooping of half of the eye lids ft om the outer angle to the center indicates the disposition to confess one's failure to patents or seniors, to a "father confessor," or to the .supreme being. The drooping of half of the eyelids from the inner angle to the center betokens the disposition to repent, and to "do works meet for re pentance." Closely allied to these sights are those of prayerftilncss and humility. The former is indicated by the muscle which turns the ce directly downwatd, as repte sented in the picture of the Ma donna. Prayerfulness is usually large in connection with that of penitence, the reason of which is, that between the faculties of peni tence and humility theie is the .same close connection as between confession and piayer. One who has more prayer than humility has the eye turned habitually some what upward, so that the upper part of the iris is a little covered by the upper eelid and so as to leave a slight space between the iris and the lower lid. The re verse is true of one who has more humility than prayer. The faculty of truth that is, the love- of it is indicated by the muscle which surrounds the eye, causing folds and wrinkles. Jus tice is indicated by the muscle which causes perpendicular wrin kles between tha eyebrowjs-." dPulI ness nd wrinkles under thejeyos for which some persons are re markable, indicate the love of mathematical accuracy; and wrin kles curving upward from the outer angle of the ej'e and eye brow, indicate probity of personal truthfulness. There are three de grees of the faculty of justice. The first is a kind of exactness or strict honesty in small money mat ters, which some people would call closeness, and is indicated by a singular perpendicular wrinkle or line between the eyebrows. The second is the disposition to requite justice in other, and is indicated by two perpendicular lines or wrinkles, one each side of the cen ter a very common sign. The third degree is conscientiousness, or the disposition to apply the rule of justice to one's self, and is in dicated by three or more wrinkles or lines, especially noticeable, ex tending above the eyebrow when the musclo is in action. The love of command is indicated by one short transverse wrinkle across the root of the nose, exactly be tween the eyes. It may be seen in great military commanders, in masters and teachers, and in those generally who are fond of exer cising authority. In those who are wanting in the power to com mand, and have no desire for re sponsibilit', this sign is also ab sent. The faculty of command frequently acts with that part of justice which reptimands, or re quires others to do right, and both together produce that frowning or lowering brow which is so terrible to evil-doers, or to those who love to be approved rather than condemned. Blow Out the Light An exchange gives us some hints and information which may be useful, as follews: Persons whose business does not make it necessary for them to be out at night would be surprised in a night's walk to observe the great number of residences in which a lamp is kept burning all night. The pActicc is necessary in some cases oraccount of sickness in the fmily,.at it is neverthless very aurtfulAlNo matUr how careful kerosene w hich is a liirht is left burning the ...:...i ...... ,.f .. w lint " room are usually eloped, because if left open the light would attract flies and mosquitoes. Tin flame of one light turned down low re quires more oxygen tn keep it burning than is consumed by two adult poison. The light from the lamp is also injurious to the eyes, and possibly to this fact may be traced the constantly increasing prevalence of eye disease. The best way is to keep a lamp teady to light in cao of emergency dur ing the darkness, with matches convenientlv beside it. The eyes need rest as well as the brain and muscles, and the darkness in which to find it. The Uneasy Skipper. "It is curious how little comfort our skippeis seem to take on shore," said au old ship broker. "One would think they would cn joj' it, but the don't. They soon get tired of their boiled shirts and want to get back into the woolen ones they wear at sea. And when one of them has made money enough to retire on he hates to give up his ship. If he docs give up the sea he rarely ever lives con tent on shore. There was a captain- who owned a large share in one of our ships, lie was master of her over ten year, and had money enough to retire on. Finally he concluded to give up the ship He and his wife, who had been go ing to sea with him for some years, took a nice house in Brooklyn, out somewhere near Prospect park. The ship was given to another captain, and the pair proceeded to enjoy themselves. But they soon got tired of shore life. The cap tain was always tinkering with his clocks and trying to make, them look as much like chronometers as he could. Then he was forever of the wind. He missed the in verted compass that used to hang over his berth at sea. lie couldtrt prevent himself from keeping a diary, just as he would keep a log book, and it worried him to think that his house was always in the same latitude and longitude. He would go down into the cellar and 'chock' barrels up against the wall to keep them from rolling, just as if he was at sea. And at noon he would get out Ins instruments to take the position of the sun with. He and his wife became thoroughly sick of the land. He found fault with the new captain of the ship, and when she arrived at London on her way from the East Indies to this port, he could wait no long er. He gave up his house and tak ing his wife he went to London and took command of his ship, aud I doubt if he will ever give up the latter again till the da that he dies. There is something about the deep-sea swell that gets to be very homelike to a man after he has been to sea a few years. And generally speaking he finds it hard to live for an' length of time with out being tossed about upon it."
