A n Awful Hide.
Some years ago an engineer on the Lake
Shore Road had started his train and it
had attained good headway, when he dis
cov* red flames issuing from one of the oil
cars. lie whistled down brakes, and the
coaches were cut loose from the oil cars
which were quickly uncoupled from the
box car. The engineer then pulled on
down the hill, to get out of the reach of
the burning cars, in order to save the loco
motive and the other car, In which were
two valuable trotting horses and their keep
ers on their way to Cleveland. He supposed
the brakeman would put on the brakes on the
oil cars, but in the excitement this was not
done, and they followed the locomotive,
gaming headway every moment. Before
the engineer had taken in the situation the
oil cars, every one of them now ablaze,
came dashing upon him around a curve.
They crashed into the box car, knocking
in one end of it, but. singularly enough,
neither that nor any of the moving cars
were thrown from the track by the collision.
The engineer and fireman could have escap
ed all danger by abandoning the locomotive,
but, as Davison said when asked afterwaid
why they did not pursue that course, they
had $20,000 worth of the company's pro
perty in their charge, and they were deter
mined to save it if possible. According to
the engineer's story of the incident, he saw
that there was to be a race for life between
him and his engine and the tlaming cars
under no control. He said that when the
oil cars struck the one in which the horses
were, the poor animals actually screamed
with fright. The heat was unbearable.
Dnvi:m pulled the throttle Valve wide open,
and he declared that thev flew down the
SO feet grade so fast that the engine could
not pump. The keepers iu the car next the
oil cars climbed up to the opening in the
end of the car, and, with fact sas pale as
death, begged the engineer to "give her
more steam.'' They could see the blazing
oil cars from the broken end of their car,
and it seemed to them that they gained at
every turn of the wheels. The engineer
said that when he struck the sharp curves
at the lightning speed at which he was going
he cxpetted that his engine woald leave
the track and be hurled down the mountain
side. The night was very dark; the en
gine thundered along faster than any engine
ever tan in this country before or since,
throught woods ar.d deep rock cuts, and
on the edge of high precipices. The horses
were stamping and neighing with terror in
the box car, and only a few feet in the rear
was the flying mass of flame rushing down
the mountain like a tremendous meteor.
The blaze from the thousand gallons of
burning oil was more than 60 feet in height,
and lighted up the woods and rocks ami
crooked roads for miles. The whole heav
ens were illuminated, and from Brocton
the sight of the great conflagration, appa
rently flying through the air. now hidden
for a second by a cut or a piece of woods,
and then leaping out again and up toward
the sky like a huge mountain of fire, is de
scribed as beiug awful in its grandeur.
The idea of Engineer Davison was to call
for the opening of the switch for him at
Brocton Junction, so that he could run on
to the Lake Shore track, where the grade
was ascending and where he could soon get
out of the way of the burning cars through
their having lost the propelling power of the
decline of the Summit grade, it happened,
however, that the Cincinnati express on the
Lake Shore Road would be due at the junc
tion when Davison's train reached there.
To add to the terror of the situation a West
bound Lake Shore freight train was at that
moment running to pass the junction bet on.
the arrival of the express. There was only
one thing to dc, and that was to whistle
for the switch, and take the chances ©f the
freight getting out of the way, and the ex
press being flagged or late. The engineer
knew that he must have been seen from
Brocton Junction, by the light of the burn
ing oil, in his life or death race down the
mountain, and that the railroad men there
understood the peril of the situation and
would be prompt to act. He whistled for
open switch. He and his fireman then
biwle each other good-bye and awaited the
result. The freight train gained the siding
out of their way. The switch was opened
and they tore on up the Lake Shore track,
past the depot and through the village, and
were soon out of the way of the burning
cars. The latter gradually came to a stop.
The engine and box car were stopped with
in a hundred yards of the Lake Shore ex
press, which was both late and signaled.
When Davison and his fireman found they
were out of danger, they fainted on their
engine. The horses in the box car were
ruined, and their keepers were taken from
the car unconscious. The oil tanks burned
for three hours after they were stopped.
The most fortunate circumstance of the
whole affair was the uncoupling of the pas
senger cars from the oil cars at the Summit.
They were filled with passengers, and if
they had remained with the burning tanks
would have been wrapped in flames in a
very short time, and there would have been
no escape for the passengers from a most
horrible fate. It was just 9 o'clock when
Davison pulled out from Maryville Summit.
When he was taken from his engine, 16
miles from the starting poiit, it was not 12
minutes past the hour.
Silicic e of the Scorpion.
Mr. Allen Thomson, In a letter published
in Nature, writes that while residing many
years ago at the baths of Lucca, in Italy,
some friends were much annoyed by small
black scorpions. Having been informed
that the scorpion destroys itself if exposed
to a sudden light, his friends soon became
adepts in catching the scorpion and dispos
ing of them. This consisted in confining
the animal under an inverted drinking glass
or tumbler, below which a card was insert
ed when the capture was made, and then,
waiting till dark, suddenly bringing the
light of a candle near to the glass in which
the animal was confined. No sooner was
this done than the scorpion invariably
showed signs of great excitement, running
round and round the interior of the tumbler
with reckless velocity for a number of
times. This state having lasted for a min
ute or more, the animal suddenly became
quiet, and, turning its tail or the hinder
part of its body over its back, brought its
recurved siting down upon the middle of
the head, and piercing it forcibly, in a few
secones became quite motionless, and, in
fact, quite dead. This observation was
repeated very frequently, in truth, it was
adopted as the best plan of getting rid of
the animals, and the young people were in
the habit of handling the scorpions with im
punity immediately after they were so
killed, and of preserving many of them as
curiosities.

GREAT CAESAR.—A man on the cars
was offered a newspaper. He took it,
looked at the heading, and then threw
it aside with disgust, and remarked :
"I don't want any news from that

"I supposed everybody read it in

"Pitching into me v Great Ccasar! I
should think they had. But y u just

"You never make anything by strik

"Yes, that's all right for you to say;
but just let me meet that man! I'll

"What did lie do?"
"Do? He did a good deal, Here's
how It is: 1 often go to Springfield t i

A TERRIBLE TIME. —Mrs. McTimUty
as she approached the drug store, was
astonished to hear loud voi -es.
The voices were those of men, appar
ently in angry dispute.
"What can it mean!" said Mrs. Me-
Tinildv, to herself, beginning to trem

The voices grew louder. Evidently
tne contention was violent.
What might not happen ? There were
fierce undistinguisliable word.
There might be a murder!
Mrs. MeTimidy peeped in the win

There, indeed, stood halt a dozen ex

even shaking their lists in the air.
Mrs. MeTimidy quickly withdrew.
But her curiosity still burned.
She ran for her big son. He must
go instantly and see wh t was being

terrible was happening.
The big boy went promptly.
Presently he returned.
"What—what—what Is it?" gasped
Mrs. MeTimidy.
"Oh, they're having a reg'lar rnon

"And what—what were they say

"Why, they're arg'yin about how to

spells it different. Jiminy! but it's a

tried to cheer his heart. "Now, you
must not give way to your grief," he
said; "you must walk in the open air,
because exercise helps one to recover
from the excess of sorrow." "Yes,

SOFT BKDS. —There are differences of
opinion in regard to the best beds fur
refreshing sleep, some persons advo
cating soft and some hard beds. The
difference between them is that the
weight of a body on a soft bed presses
on a larger surface than a hard bed,
and consequently more comfort is en
joyed. Hani beds should never be giv
en to little children, and parents who
suppose that such beds contribute to
health, by hardening and developing
the constitution, are surely in error.—
Eminent physicians—both here and in
England—concur in this opinion, and
state Mat hard bids have often proved
injurious to the shape of infants. Birds
and animals cover their offspring with
the softest materials they can obtain,
and also make suit beds for them; and
the soft ness of a bed is not evidence of
its being unwholesome. But if it Is
not kept sweet and clean by daily air
ings and frequent beatings—whether
it is hard or soft—lt is surely injurious
to health.

of cooked %nd uncooked meal lor swine.
The trials have been carried ou several

but that the pigs should be fully su|>-

ly, except in very cold weather, when
It was given slightly warm. The result
is w hollv in favor of the uucooked ineal
for feeding. The professor says that
these experiments prove that the labor
and fuel required for cooking food is
more than throw n away. This accords
with opJnious we have held for a long
