The Killing Car Coupler.
It ia an nndoabted fact tbat no in

employee from this cause are the most
common of occurrences. It is estimat
ed tbat in tbe United States alone four
hundred and fifty brakemen are killed
every year while coupling cars, and
thousands are braised, mained, or
seriously injured. Tbe question of
substituting a safety coupler has often
been discussed, and numerous inven
tions to secure safety, of more or less
value have been proposed for adoption,
but nothing practical has as yet result
ed. Tbe trouble has been to find a
safety coupler applicable to all kinds of
care, and one that could be recommend
ed for universal use. It is gratifying
to learn tbat an investigation by a com -
mittee representing thirty thousand
miles of road is now on foot, with the
object of finding a system of safety
conpling that may be adopted. When
tbe car stove and the old fashioned
link and pin coupling are ruled nut of
existence, tbe dangers of railroading
will be reduced by a large degree-—N.

SHUCK TKOTTKR'S FOURTH
And How lie Observed It—A Celcbra
tion Under Oltfloultlos.
Shuck Trotter, having "laid by" bis
corn 011 the third of July, was lifted in
to such exultation uy his maturing
prospects of a good crop, that lie decid
ed to hold a sort of celebration 011 the
Fourth. Throughout the neighborhood
of "Lick Skillet" Shuck enjoys that pe
culiar leadership which certain oddities
of character frequently grant a man
who lives in a backwoods community.
Those (Hid i ties, however, are never of
an intellectual sort, for, In Shuck's
neighborhood, a characteristic that Is
purely mental is always regarded us a
weakness, while a certain "prankish
ness," particularly an ability to jump
higher and dance faster than any other
man is 11a italicized distinctiou.
The celebration at Shuck's house can
doubtless be given most appropriately,
and I am certain most entertainingly.
In the exact words of Zeb Finch, the
brown jeans beau of the "Lick Skillet"
neighborhood.
4 When Shuck came over whar I wuz
er cleanin' up some new ground fur er
turnip patch,' said Zeb, 4 an' told me er
bout the cilybmtion, I sorter hung tire
er bout goin'; but when 110 'lowed pine
blank that Liza Bakei an' the Jimisou
gals would be thar, I told liiui that
nothin' but er powerful mixture uv the
rheumatix au' cramp colic could keep
me er way, au' I meant whut I said,
even if Liza is fat, an'not ez pale ez the
most uv folks like to see a gal. Well,
when I arriv at Shuck's house I seed
that all the necessary preparations had
been mada. It wuz too hot to stay in
the house,so a lot of cheers an' benches
had been put in the yard under er low,
spreadiu' mulberry tree, tbat give a
thick shade. Thar wuz er right smart
spriukliu' uv folks, 1 tell you. Ole
Uncle Mose Gayner, that went to the
Legislatur last year wuz thar. Ur.cle
Mose ain't much bigger er round then
er hoe-handle, an' it do peer like tbat
when uatur sot in to makiu' bis legs
she come mighty nigh uot stoppin' er
tall, but iu spite uv all these here draw
bucks the ole fetler has got away uv
sraackin' his mouth when the jug is
passed, that gest nachully keeps him
frum fallin' into obscurity, ez the
preacher says. Ole Miz Gayner was
thar, too. I don't think 1 ever seed a
fatter woman than she is. W'y, she's
so much thicker then she is bigli tbat
when she wants to reach up 011 er shelf
after anything she lays down. The
Jimison gals wuz thar, sho nuff, an—
ges, hoi' my hat, somebody, while I
think uv her—Miss Liza, buss her fat
jaws, wuz thar bigger'n life, un er av
erage boss. Don't understan' me to
mean any disrespect when I corapar
tbat lovely ereetur with er boss, for
lemme tell you the human fam'iy will
have to improve might'Jy befo' it ketch
es up with the boss.
4 lt mout not peer to be necessary to
speak about the sizes uv these folks,but
I'll jest say that weight bad er good
deal to do with the tailness uv the cap
ers that wuz cut that day.
4 01 d Shuck wuz in his glcry,an' 'low
ed tbat the country's birthday should
be cilybrated in er manner tbat the
neighbor's wouldn't soon furgit.
4 4 How are you goin' to do it, Shuck?'
says I. 'We can't do nothin' but set
er round an' stuff ourselves with water
milions an sich.'
4 4 Don't fool yo'self,' says he. 4 l'm
goin' to have some 'splosions here air
ter awhile that'll lay all the firecrackers
an' tawpeters you ever seed in the ever
lastin' shade. See this,' taken er pack
age outen the pocket uv his duster.
'Here's two pounds uv the finest blast
in'powder you ever come across. Air
ter we eat and drink er while we'll step
out here and bore holes in logs, load em
up and have the allfiredest 'bombard
ment you ever seed. Folks way over
the creek will think that the biggest
Fourth uv July this country ever seed
has jest been turned loose on the com
munity.
4 'Oil, Cousin Shuck,' said Miss Liza
—and as I remarked jest now, bless her
fat jaws—'please don't have no shootin'
fur it skeeis me,'
4 'Bless yo' soul and body, Lizy,'
Shuck replied, 4 I wouldn't skeer you
fur nothin' in the world, but on this
occasion I'm jest nachully bound to
turn the hills and hollers wrong side
out.'ard, er haw, haw—plumb wrong
side out'ards, Uncle Mose,' he added,
grinnic' at the lean old man.
4 'Laws a massy,' cried Shuck's wife,
'the white sow is in the milon patch.
Run, Shuck, and knock her fetch-taked
head off.'
'Shuck he drapped the package uy
powder in er cheer and er way he went,
and Liza snatched up the powder,
fetched up and put it on the limb uv
the tree and begged us not to tell Shuck
whar it wuz which we all promised that
we wouldn't. Shuck brought er big
milon back with him and we diy into it
red-eyed. Then he axed fur his pow
der. We all 'lowed that seed
it.
4 'That'll never do in the world,' says
he. Er fourth uv July cilybration
without powder is like a set uv plow
gear without er back-band —jest nach
ully won't go. Uncle Mose, whar's the
powder ?'
4 'Ain't seed it, Shuck. B'leve !you
tuck it with you when you weut airter
the white sow.'
• 'That's jest erbout whut I did,' says
Shuck, and he put out to look fur it,
and when he couldn't find it he went
up in the fence corner and cussed that
old sow fur eyerything he could think
uv and Liza—bless —but never mind,
laughed fit to kill her sweet self. Then
Shuck fotch out his jug. It made the
gals grin might'ly when they tuck er
pull at it jest to be sociable, you know,
but I tell you it made ole Uncle Mose's
mouth pop liker er hickory bark whip.
4 'My stairs erlive,' said one uv the
Jimison gals, J'the black gnats is so bad
er body cain't hardly live.'
4 'That's er fack,' said Liza, 'an' they
run me nearly stracted.'
4 'l'll fix 'em,' Shuck 'lowed, and he
went into the house, and soon come
out with same fire iu er big ditfner pot.
He sot it ou the ground and the ladies
all thanked him fur his kine and 'plite
ertention. it
4 'Shuck,' says Uncle Mose—the ole
feller is powerful frolicky—'they tell
me that you learnt er new step when
you went over to the Brau dance the
other day. Give it to us.'
* 'Oh, yes, do, Cousin Shuck,' said
Lisa—that's all right. 'Give it to us,
fur I know we'll be so uiuch edified.'
That word settled it with 1110 light thar
and ef 1 couider got holt uv her hand 1
would have sartinly squez it.
4 'l ain't round thrown' my steps er
way,' says Shuck, 'but ez we've all met
here to cilybrate the Fourth why here's
at you. Here, Zeb,' turniu' to mo, 'pat
fur me.' I commenced to pat and he
hopied up ntul went at it. It wuz er
sort uv Inguu dance, with er lot uv
whoops scattered through it, and the
fust whoop Shuck fotch he leaped up
and struck the limb whar Lisa had hid
the powder, and down come the powder
and I wish i may dio dead ef it didnT
come slap uab into the |>ot uv lire.
Thar wui er bout er se'eoud bofo' any
thing hapi>eued and then the cilybra
tion tuck place sho null. The fust
thing sperienced wuz the earth sorter
shaken' itself, an' then thar couio er
noise that I ain't goin' ter furgit soon.
Somehow I wuz permitted ter see the
performance without takin' much uv
er hand in it. Shuck an' Uncle Mose
leered to go into partnership, fur they
went up in the tree together, an' it did
seem like Uncle Mose's legs wrauied er
bout Shuck erbout three times. Shuck's
wife riz like er turkey-hen an' went
over the fence, an' Uncle Mose's wife,
ez good-hearted er olesoul ez ever lived,
wuz jest rolled erway like er bar'l. The
pore ole lady squealed but kep' on er
rollin'. TheJimison gals fluttered ev
er' whicher way, an' put me in mine uv
er lot uv young patridges. llut Liza—
alas, bless her fat jaws, the powder.
Undid' that she w uz so heavy it couldn't
pick her un, turned her round er time
er two, fluttered her over the fence an'
started her off down the lane on er trot,
an' she hadn't mo'rn got started good
till er watermilon cotch up with her an'
I hope I may die dead ef I didn't jest
nachually think it had knocked all the
maziu' grace outen the dear ereetur.
Holler ! I never hear 11 tr pore sole hol
ler like sue did. I run airier her an'
didn't ketch her till she got to the foot
uv the hill. She flung her lovin' arms
round me an' sobinly cried: *An,
Lawd, Zeb, who wou'der thought
that dinner pot woulder busted ! When
we all got tergather orgin, Shuck, see
in' that nobody wuz killed, lowed that
the safest thing would be ter git down
an' pray, an' wo jest nachully got down
even though we seed the whito sow
make ernuther break fur the milon
patch. I ain't axed him but 1 jest
nachully think that Shuck has gone
outen the cilybratin' business.'
A Chestnut Worth Retelling.
111 one of the colleges a professor who
made himself friendly with the stu
dents was walking out with an intelli
gent scholar,when they saw an old man
hoeing in a corn field. He was advanc
ing with his work toward the road, by
the side of which lay iiis shoes. As it
was near sunset, the student proposed
to play the old man a joke. 'I will hide
his shoes ; we will conceal ourselves be
hind the bushes and see what lie will
do.'
'No,' said the professor, 'it would not
be right. You have money enough,
just put a dollar in the old man's shoes,
then we will hide behind ttie bushes and
see what be will do.'
The student agreed to the proiKisal,
and they concealed themselves accord
ingly.
When the laborer had finished bis
row of corn he came out of |tlie field to
go home. He put on one shoe, and felt
something hard, took it off, and found
the dollar. He looked around him. but
saw no one, and looked gratefully to
ward heaven. He put on the other
shoe and found another dollar. Ho
looked all around him, but saw no
one. He then knelt uj>un the ground
and returned thanks to God for the
blessings which bad been conferred up
on him. The listeners learned from the
prayer that the old man's wife and one
of bis children were sick, and that they
were very poor ; so that the two dollars
were a great relief sent to them from
heaven.
'There' said the professor, 'bow
much better this is than toliaye hidden
the old man's shoes.'— Southern Evan
gelist.
Starving the Teeth.
Teeth are just as easily starved as
the stomach, said a lecturei the other
night. The fact is that you and your
fathers have from generation to gene
ration been industriously starving your
teeth. In one way it is a blessing to
have been born of poor parents. What
food the poor give their children is of
a variety that goes to make strong
bones and teeth. It is the outside of
the grains of all cerael food that con
tains the carbonate and phosphate of
lime, and traces of other earthly salts,
which nourish the bony tissues and
build the frame up. If we do not fur
nish the teeth of the young that pabu
lum they require, they cannot possibly
be built up. It is the outside of corn,
oats, wheat, barley and the like or the
bran, so called, that we sift away and
feed to swine, tbat the teeth actually
require for their proper nourishment.
The wisdom of man has proven bis
folly, shown In every succeeding gene
ration of teeth, which become more
and more fragile and weak.
They Were Kind to the Fish.
There were four ladies once went
fishing. They Selected a very rainy
day and they had all tbeir waterproof
cloaks and head and feet covering.
They were all by themselves whan they
took aboat and went to fish, It was in
Maine. With feminine earnest they
started off without anything to put the
fish in. They had an elegant time until
they caught a pickerel. When they
caught the pickerel they didu't know
what to do with it. It was alive flop
ping. They had it ia the bottom of the
boat. They wondered why it didn't lie
quiet. At last a happy and benign
thought struck one of them.
'Poor thing I It's getting all wet ly
ing in the raiu.'
And she whipped off her waterproof
and wrapped it up it. Each of the fonr
caught a pickerel, and each of the four
wrapped it up in her waterproof and
the rain wet them through to the skin,
but they kept their flsh dry all the same.
Hill Nye Deliver* u Characteristic and
Patriotic Address.
FELLOW CITI/.ENS : It lins now
been onu hundrutl and uloveu yosFB Mince
the most successful nnd most prosper
ous republic known thus far to history,
sent fourth uikm Iho sultry air its first
feeble qry. One huudrod and eleven
years njio this morniup, the small red
infant known as American Liberty,
jammed her purple fists into her watery
eyes and made a few desultory remnrAs
which were heard In the uttermost
parts of the earth.
To-day she is a full-grown person
with a dignified mien, and has had a
statue of herself taken, which stands in
the harbor of Now York, and although
she lights up the country for miles a
round, with her tall torch, there is no
one who has ever been able to hold a
candle to her in the Liberty business.
Those who are to-day within the
sound ot my voice, and who are over
one hundred and eleven years of age,
will perhaps recall to their minds the
deplorable condition of things here in
our youug and struggling country at
that time.
If we moved out West in order to se
cure more freedom, the venturesome
savage filled us full of arrows till we
looA ed liA-e toothpieA--holders, and when
we camobiicA' for protect ion,the haughty
llritou assessed us and crushed us be
neath the iron heel of the despot.
Now, wherever the starry banner
hangs out to greet the gentle breeze .all,
all are free. Little do we fcnow to-dav,
hero in America, what it is to suffer
for freedom. Liberty does a good bus
iness here in the United States now,
aud the man who runs out of freedom
shows that he is a shiftless man and a
poor provider.
Only a little oyer a century ago we
dareu not go out after dark without a
chilled steel corset, for fear that the
maroon-colored children of the forest
might let the pale, shimmering moon
light in among our vital organs by
means of their crude tomahawA-s. Then
life was indeed uncertain and disagree
able. People remained at home rather
than return to their houses with holes
in themselves and wildly disheveled
brains.
Now a umr. can start and go any
where if he will pay his fare.
And so tee are marching on. What a
grand stride it is from the duepoti3in of
a century ago, to the long and short
haul of to-day V What a mighty leap
from the barbarism of a hundred years
ago, to the glorious sunlight of freedom
which tee enjoy now ?
Where ouce the slow-going ox team
and Helciier box wagon crept through
the wilderness, liable to be scattered
over the greensward at any moment by
the yelling Injun,now the patient news
paper man, the member of Congress
and the Associate Justico of the Su
preme Court.with their coats over their
arms, toil along the level sireep of rail
road which they assisted to build by
means of their land grants and moral
encouragement, looA ing ever and anon
over their shoulders for the approach of
the yelling modern Injun.
Times have indeed changed in the
past century. A hundred years ago
whisA-y was sold at forty cents per gal
lon, and every other man you met was
a statesman. Now you have to pay
fifteen cents for enough whisAy to tret
the bottom of a small tumbler, and
there hasn't been a speech made in the
House of Representatives for three
years that was listened to by anybody
but the stenographer.
So liberty, while enlarging her field,
has not always ameliorated the condi
tion of manA-ind. We are prone to
boast over the enormous mass of free
dom which tee have accumulated here
in America, and yet tlie freedom of the
press has been greatly impaired, if I
may be allowed that expression.
Too much caste lias been the result
of recent laws. A year ago I held up
my head and "mingled with a class of
men who to-day refuse to recognize me.
Ttiey were then, and are notc.of
men of wealth and social position ; but
so am I.
I allude to the railway conductors of
the United States.
A year ago I knew them from New
York to Sau Francisco, and associated
with them frequently, .allowing myself
to be drawn forward into the smoking
car to mingle with them aud visit pro
and con.
But what do I find to day V I find
thi same men running on the same
trains, but they aie arrogant, haughty
aud reserved. One of them pUced me
on a side track last spriug in the night,
in the miist of a pitiless storm, be
cause I tried to renew a former ac
quaintance with him, and ride ioto
Chicago with him.
lie said that I could not ride on my
acquaintance with him by any meanß,
but that I would soon be riding on the
small of my back if I did not pay my
fare to the city.
* * * *
And so I remained that night in the
midst of some ancient ruins called Mon
mouth. I was not acquainted in Mon
mouth, and I had no business there.
Nobody ever had any business thrre
that I ever heard of,and yet I remained
there through what was left of that
terrible night.
I often think that our forefathers did
not suffer any more hardships than we
do, and if I bad fitted myself for it I
would just as soon be a forefather as to
be the pampered child of weAith that I
am to day. BILL NYE.

Hlr Walter Scott at School.
Sir Waller Scott, when ho was a boy,
had a hard time getting to the head of
his class, lie could get up next to the
head, hut the lad ultove him was too
good a scholar to pass. Scott, howeytr.
kept Ids eyes open, and one day he no
ticed that the lad, when reciting, kept
tugging at a certain button on his jack
et. JThis he soon saw was a habit, so
Walter quietly cut off the button when
his classmate was not looking.
At the next recitation, the boy, un
aware of his loss, put his linger where
the button had been, missed It, became
confused and broke down.
Young Scott took the head of the
class and kept it. No doubt the great
writer aftei ward regretted the trick—
for a trick it wu9, and very unfair.
