Scarcely a tlay passed but the extraor dinary resemblance of the two sis ters to each other got somebody into ditlieulty. Messages were delivered to Sarah which were intended for Mary; secrets were told to Mary which were designed only for Sarah; the servants were al ways calling Mary Mrs. Grimes and Sarah Mrs. Damon. Tom Grimes brought home a set of pearls one night for his wife. She was in the parlor when he came. "Here, dear," said he, "I have brought you something as a Chriftmas gift, but I don't want your sister to know anything almut it 'she's so con foundedlj' jealous that there'd be a row forthwith.

RAILWAY MATTERS. I r keeps three large Chicago factories busy to manufacture the locomotive headlights ami railroad lanterns that are used in this country. The facto ries give employment to 1,100 men and boys. ' An Italian engineer has originated a system by which he proposes to utilize the power of trains runningdown grade. Hi has perfected a machine for com pressing air as the train goes down grade, which can be used to actuate a motor at the will of the engineer, and be used to assist the locomotive on np grades. The largest locomotive ever made weighs nearly one hundred tons, and was recently turned out by the Bald win locomotive works, rhiladelpbia. It has five pairs of driving wheels, the rirelM.x is eleven feet long, and is guar anteed to haul seven hundred and sixty tons up a grade one hundred and five feet to the mile. As experiment has been made on a railroad Iwtwcen Home and Frascati with a new combustible prepared from lignite, rich deposits of which have been found in Italy. Of the new fuel three hundred and sixty-seven kilo grams tlitl the work of three hundred kilograms of coal. It is thought the discovery will obviate the necessity of iiiiMttiiu. toal. SNAP SHOTS AT THE DEVIL. The devil feels proud et the man who joins the chnrch to make money. The man who belongs altogether to the devil Is generally the last to find it out. The devil never gets a chance to loaf in a neighborhood where a good man lives. Tin: devil has co work extra hard to get hold of the children who have good mtithers. Evtbt time -a sermon is heard with tcral repentance the devil gives his fire another stir. The devil probably findf- n. good deal of satisfaction in watching the woman who loves to talk about fcer neighbors. The mar. who simply wants to be good enosgh to get to "Heaven is not a man thaft the devil -scastes any pow der on. TnE devil is not ranch afraid of the preacher who measures a service toOod by the amount of mney in it for him self. It isn't likely tie at the devil feels much out of place i. the company of a man -who doesn't Lay for his news paper. As foox as church members begin to rive more money for missions than they lo for cigars antl tobacco the devil will begin to feel uneasy. Ham's llm CAUGHT ON THE WING. A'Tvr.KET flew through a plate glass window five-eilr ths of an inch thick at Mansfield, O., sat was not injurwd. . jl Tknnesse country newspaper has "discovered that roaches can fly like grasshoppers, and can be seen Hate at .night coming home to roost. There is a mocking bird in Eaton ton, Qa., that can talk and whistle "Johnny, ' tiet Your Hair -Cut." and, in fact, any simple tune-which anyone hums or w his ties to it as an example. . A swab of3ees entered the cab of a i locomotive at Huntington, Pa last ' week, drove the engineer and fireman out, and stopped travel on tbe road un til the farmer owning the invaders ap peared and effected their removal. . A window in the post office at Hanni- "aL Mo., was so clean that the glass must have been invisible te a quail. The bird flew through it with aui-h velocity that it made a hole in it only a little larger than its btxly. The crash'of glass directed attention to the incident, and the quail was found cUsad on thr floor. THE BIG BROOKLYN BRIDGE. The grade of the bridge roadway is 34 feet per 100 feet of length.

FACTS FROM DISTANT LANDS. In British India es.000,000 acres are cultivated by irrigation. Australia is the largest tea con suming country in proportion to its population. Nine hundred and fifty submarine telegraph cables are now in operation, most of them in Europe; their total length is over 80,000 miles. The lowest temperature ever re corded anywhere was noted by (ioroc-how, December 30, 1871, at Werchojansk, Siberia 81 degrees Fahr., or 113 degrees of frost. A vast "banyan" tree covering be tween C and 7 acres has been discov ered on the tiny Lord Howe island, 800 miles from Port. Macquarie, in Australia. It is surpassed in size only by the greatest of those in India. BEFORE THE COURTS, i Two Bovft ore held for trial in New York upon the charge of stealing three cents. A man has been arrested at flate City, Wash., for stealing a sawmill and cart ing it twenty miles. The county jail at Somerville. N.

Bow Rex Played a Part in His Master's Romance. "Dr. Edgar Mansfield was the son of a wealthy widow living on the licauti ful Hudson a short ride north of New York city. :On returning from a journey in Europe he brought hoirte with him a magnificent St. Bernard dog. Hex soon became as well known t the surrounding residerfis of Fair View as the oldest inhabitant, and the school children delighted to gather on the lawti before Mrs. Mansfield's fine man sion to play with him. Baai was kept about tte house, sel dom accompanying his master, and never. following him on his- prof essional visits. One evening Dr. Mansfield came home weary after a long aftermon"s fcive, and while he was taking off his coat in the hall his mother came from the sit tie g-room and startled him by saying: "Edgar, I fear I have bad aews for you." He kissed her and asked: "What is it. mother?" "ilex has not lxen seen about the ftucc since the middle of the aft.-ruoon. At'l the people have leen down in the viLlae and aJl about searching for lute, but they rannot find him," fcaid Mrs. Mansfield, anxiously. "Oh! he ha,s followed some of the chiltiren nome: He is very fond of children. Don't let that bother you; he will turn up all right to-morrow, or wc shall hvar of him. Hex is a dog that it would br hard to steal and hide," said the doctor. But the morning came without bring ing the dog. and the day passed with out any news of him. Anyone who has ever had an animal for a pet and playmate can imagine Dr. Mansfield's feelings over his loss. After some weeks, during which the doctor spent twice as much i money in trying to get Ilex back as he had paid for him. he made up his mind to give up the search and never again to own a dtg that might excit e cupidity. Nearly two months after this. Dr. Mansfield had to go to Irvington on business; and while he walking along the eastern suburbs of that charming village he was surprised to see, on the opptfsitc side of the way. Ilex, walking content 'tily beside one of the most beautiful girls his eyes had ever rested on. His first impulse was to crossover, call Ilex by name, and a-.k the young lady where she got that dog, but a second's dolib.r;ili-.n told him that such a course would le indelicate on his part and embarrassing to Ilex's new mistress. When the young lady had passed on, evitlently without seeing the young man on the opposite r'i.lj of the way, the doctor turned back, determined to find out who she was. Without leing observed, he saw the lady, with the St. Bernard still close at her sitle. entering a gate, from which a bard drive led up to one of the finest mansions in the place. While he was wondering if he should go in and learn who were the occu pants of the bouse his eye fell on the name "B.'ll.Tirc," cut in the keystone of the arched gate. )f the gentlemen whom he had come over to see Dr. Mansfield made inquir ies as to the people who lived at Bel la! re, though he did not state his pur pose in asking. "Bellaire?" repeated the friend. "Why, I thought everybody in West chester county knew alx.ut the palace which the wealthy Calif ornian, James T. Masters, built here last year. But I forgot that you have been iu college or abroad since his coining." "Has he any children?" asked the doctor, with affected carelessness, "Yes. Miss Laura Masters. She is a beauty, and the youngest swells here abouts and from New York have been prostrating themselves at her feet for the last year." Here the subject dropped, but the doctor's interest in Ilex was not less ened, while there was added to it very natural curiosity to know more about the lieautiful girL When he got home that night he said to his mother: "I have found Ilex." "Where?" she cried. "Over at Irvington." "And why did you not brim bim back with you?" -Well, he seems very happy where he is," laughed the doctor. And then he went on and told all he had learned. He was not surprised that his mother should show more interest in the dog than in the young lady; but. as he had unltouiidcd faith in her tact and judg ment, be said: "That is the case, mother. Now, if you were in my place what would you do?" "Do?" repeated Mrs. Mansfield. "Why, I should go and demand my prtperty, no matter how young and rich and pretty the person was in whose possession I knew it to be," "Your advice accords with my own opinion." said the din-tor. "and I shall act on it to-morrow afternoon-" The next afternoon he tlrove over to Irvington again, ami. leaving his horse at his friend's, he walked up to Bellaire. He asked the footman who answered his ring if Mr. Masters was in. and receiving a reply in the artirinative, be said: "Please take him my card and say I shall detain him only a" few minutes." He was ushcrtsl into the reception room, antl within a few minutes a rugged, gray haired man put in an ap pearance and announced himself as "Mr. Masters. "I crime on a delicate errand, Mr. Masters," said the doctor, with the feeling of a man eager to be soon through with an unpleasant duty. "About two months ago I lost a valu able St- Bernard, which I 'brought home wit n me on my return from Euro last fall. Yesterday, in passing your i.'.aee, I was very sure I saw the an una I. and I reasoned that, if you owned bim. you mi-.'t hare obtained bim from sumo person who did not." "'nit re is .-ertainly such a dog as you speak of Ik re," sa'd Mr. Masters ''but be was given to my dau'rliter. who is much attached to the Knleniliil creature, by a j-oung gentleman from Fair View, who is a frequent visitor here." Then the old gentleman rose and went hurriedly out, returning in a short time with the young lady, who jseomcd to the doctor even more beauti ful than when he had seen her on the Masters introdnctd the doctor to his daughter, anil immediately told the object of his visit- "The dog could not have been Ktolen." said the blushing girl: "for Mr. Harry Collins gave him to me, and said be had himself imported him for that pur-, misc." The doctor knew that Harry Collins was a worthless scapegrace and bis own lifelong enemy. "It is tjuite possible that I have lieen mistaken." said the d ctr, somewhat ronfnsfd. but now more ; r.re of his ground than ever, fur Collins was his next iieighlior: "but if you will kindly Set me see the dog, I can t-'ll." Laura went into the hall, and, in re sponse to her musical call the splendid creature came lounding in and began V fawn upon her, antl to lick her dainty bends. But in au instant he became aware of another presence. -"flex!" said tne doctor. With a bark of joy the noble brute msV-d at his master, and. putting lioth paws on his shoulder, liegan to lick his faee a if crazed with delight. Then. v.h"i he had satisfied Mr. ?!as-ter-i and his tl:;'?'.-hter th-.t he had found his rightful master, he ran first to one and then to the other t.f them, as if eager to show that they held second place in his canine heart. "You are certainly right. Dr. Mans field." said the old gentleman, "the dog is yours, and I cannot retain him." On hearing this, tears filled Laura's beautiful eyes, and she turned away to hide her grief. The doctor saw her emotion, and with a gallant bow, he said: "Pardon me. Miss M astern, but Ilex seems happy hen. The fear that the fine fellow had fallen into unkind hands annoyed me, but now that I know he will Ik well eared for. I leg you to accept him with my compliments," "To make a long ttory short," as the old-fashioned story tellers have it. Lau ra Mastei s, with her father's consent, became the undisputed owner of Ilex. When the doctor left that evening, Mr. Masters gave him a pressing invi tation to call again, "to see us as well as the dog," he said, in conclusion. From that tlay on Harry Collins never visited Itcllaire, and as soon as it 1k came known that he had presented to a young kidy a dog :Tolcn by himself he fled the country. The doc-or accepted the invitation, but, though he Ml grulcful to Ilex for having been the means, we may be sure that he was not the Attraction. A year after Edgar Miir.r.ticlu's first visit to Bellaire, Laura Masters be came his wife. And the old gentleman said, when the marriage ceremony w as over: ''The dog di 1 it. and 1 shall get him a collar of gold." Saturday Night. Wire Finer TTuan Hair. We are at work just now on some pretty small wire. It is l-r.0(tth of an inch in diameter finer than the hair on your head, a great deal, said a man ufacturer to a (dolie-Democrat reporter. Ordinary fine wire is drawn through steel plates, but that wouldn't do for this work, liecansc if the hole wore away ever so little it would make the wire larger, and that would spoil the job. Instead, it is drawn through what is practically a hole in a diamond, to which of course there is no wear. These diamond plates are made by a woman in New York, who has a monopoly of the art in this country. The wire is then run through machinery, which winds it spirally with a layer of silk thread that is .IMM-. of an inch in thick ness even finer than the wire, you see. This wire is used in making the receiv ing instruments of ocean cables, the galvanometers used in testing cables antl measuring insulation of covered wires. -. Grmiw Fruit. -Orape fruit" is a citrous fruit, closely resembling, and by some said to be identical with, the shaddock, named from the growth of the fruit in clusters. Its production in this country is chiefly confined to Florida. The tret is larger and handsomer than that of other fruits of its class. The fruit is large, frequently five inches in diam eter, has a smooth, light-yellow skin, ripens later than the orange and is fountl in the northern markets from December to May. It has medicinal properties, and when well ripened is by many people considered superior to the orange. The bitter membrane that di vides the rulp should be removed be fore the latter is eaten or the pulp should be sctHiH'd out froru it.
