1JEF0RE THE ENGINE. Animals That Meet Death on the Railroad Track. A Veteran I.oeomotlre En-lDeer Ke latea 111 Ksperleneea The Anl uials lie Moat Dread to Fnrotinter. 'Of all animals that wander alontf the railroad track." declared a veteran loco motive engineer to a Washington Star n-jwrWr, "fe'oats are the most irritating. It's next to impossible to km tnem, ana that's not the least tantalizing feature alxiut them from the standpoint of our profession. No matter how fast you may 1h running or how quietly you steal down upon him, Mr. Uoat will see you out of the corner of his eye and man a ire to pet away just in time to miss the cowcatcher as the enjr'me rushes by him at litrhtninif speed. Cows aud hor-.es are louerullv disused of with ease, though .sometimes they Jfet under the wheels and cause a bad wreck. Hut they're so Iiirjro that the pilot jfets under them and throws them off to one side. The roat, though, nearly always suc ceeds in pettiiiK' us worked to a hiph pitch of nervousness and then contrives to pet off without a scratch, and that's what we ikm't like. 'Speaking of striking animals on the rail." continued the eupineer, "tlie one thinp we most dread to meet on he track is a hop. Nine chances out of ten the hop'll throw you. He is touph and treasy, you know, and if an enpi ne'.T has any show at all it's lest for him to stop the train as quick as it can be done and drive the animal oft the track. When the pilot of an enpine hits a hop it usually knocks him down, and then rolls him for a few yards In-fore the trucks strike him; and when they do there's preat danper of their leaving the rails. The drivers are almost certain to follow the trucks, and you're lucky if you don't po down the bank. So you see what havoc one pip can make with a railroad. Another disapreeable thinp alxiut a pip is that he never stop-, squealinp from the time In is hit until he is stone dead. 'Sheep are the most pitiful of all ani mals to rim down. They seen, to re alize the danper they're in and huddle topether lietwecn the rails awaitinp death. Their innocent eyes stare at you so mournfully and sudly that they haunt you for days to come. A loco motive seems to take a savape delipht in destroyinp sheep. It throws them in every direction and will kill a whole tlock in :n instant. I struck a tWk of peese oneo," pro ceeded the enpineer. "Well, 1 never thoupht there were so many feathers in the world. I couldn't see unythinp but feathers for ten minutes, and when we reached the station my enpine looked as if she hail received a coat of tar ami feathers." Here the eupineer's eyes bepan to sparkle, and he stopped talkinp to hold lus fat sides, shaken with suppressed laughter over a funny recollection. "Mentioning feathers," he explained after a pause, '"recalls to my mind a comical experience I had a few years apo in running a fast limited passenger train over the Pennsylvania main line from Httsburph to Philadelphia. We'd pone through the town of Huntingdon, on the Juniata, without slacking up, and had whirled safely around the base of the ridpe east of there, when we struck a little stretch of straight level between high dirt banks, known, as Snyder's cut. I cast my eyes on ahead as we scudded along to a wagon road crossing near the lower end of the cut. Just as we approached it a two-horse team was driven down from the turn pike at the right side, apparently with the intention to cross. Hut instead of crossing the team stood still. Two men were in the wagon, and they seemed to be having an altercation as to whether they should cross or go back. As a compromise they just stood thereon the track. I reversed the engine and whistled down brakes, but it was too late. We struck the team square in the middle, and then O, my!'' Here the engineer laughed without restraint. Then he resumed: "The men in the wagon were evidently farmers returning from town in a bois terous humor after a day's market ing, carrying home a queer cargo of "store goods.' Curious to relate they weren't hurt in the least, nor were the horses. The wagon, until we cut it clean in' two, contained a featherbed, a keg of nails and a barrel of whisky. "Now we struck them all at the same instant. . The nails flew "way up in the sky, as it seemed, and came down with a pepp.riug rattle over the roofs of all the coaches in the train for at least five minutes. The feathers scattered far and w ide through the air like a driving snowstorm and seemed to come from a thousand bursted feather beds instead of one. The whisky got mixed with the feathers, and spurted high up in every direction, falling; in a fine spray principally over the engine, the tender aud the first couple of coaches. The whisky and feathers clung to the tops and sides of the cars and against the window panes for the remainder of the trip, and the passengers, as I was told afterward, all got thirsty with vain longings from snitting the rum-soaked atmosphere. It was altogether the fun niest mess I ever was in, and the strang est combination. Think of it nails whisky antl feathers all flying through the air and following us for miles and miles. ), my!" And the jolly engineer laughed again and again, .until he actually cried, at the picture he had in mind. TOM THUMB'S TIPPLE. The Dwarf's Ingenious Ilevlce to Obtain , Ilia ToUily. ' Oen. Torn Thumb became a slave to the drink habit in his latter days. After jtarnurn had taken him to Europe and had advertised him very extensively a shrewd theatrical manager conceived the idea of starring him in a lilliputian play. A contract was signed and the tour began. The general had. no dra matic ability, but the play gave him very little work to do and people turned out to sec the famous little man whom llar n urn's genius had made known the world over. He proved a great draw ing card for awhile. Then he began to drink heavily and very often disap pointed large audiences by being unable, to appear. After seeing hin money squandered in thia manner until patience ceased to be a virtue the manager decided to adopt heroic measures. He set himself to watch the general and never let the little fellow get out of his sight for a moment. At St. Louis the manager had occa sion to leave the hotel for an hour and, determined not to take any chances, locked the general in his room. When he returned he was struck speechless with astonishment. The door was locked, but stretched npon the floor was Tom Thumb, as drunk as a lord. So sooner had the manager left than the general rattled the door until he attracted the attention of a bellboy. Slipping a dollar under the door, he in structed the boy to go to a saloon, buy u pint of whisky and an ordinary clay pipe. When the boy returned the gen eral told him to put the pi pes tern through the keyhole and pour tha liquor into the pipe-bow L He did so. and the dwarf, standing on tiptoe, placed his lipa to the pipesten. and drank himself into total unconacioas fttesa. Chicago MaiL The difference in women. p Some women are tireless in their home work. Some are tireless in their work for the church. They laugh, they sing, and are happy. You remain at home broken hearted, for you are utterly un able to make any effort what ever. The horror of " Female Com plaints " is upon you ; you have that distressing bearing-down " feeling, your back aches, you are nervous and despondent, don't care to move, want to be left alone, your digestion is bad, and you are wholly prostrated. Ah ! dear sister, don't you know that Lydia E. Pinkham's 'eretable Compound will reach the cause of all this trouble, and you will surely be well. Don't hesitate. Get the remedy at once.

Inaeeta Can Find Their Home I'ader tha Ureteat Iirultlea. Exactly how insects, especially bees and ants, find their way back after hav ing flown or b--n taken some miles from the home hive or ant hill, is one of tne mysteries of animated nature. A young- naturalist, who lived four teen" miles from a lare city, fre quently made it a point to teat this homing instinct in the common Italian bee. He would ears fully color their wintfs with red, blue or violet ink, pack them snugly in a box and carry them to the very heart of the city bfore releas inp them, says the Philadelphia Press. With few exceptions they were at home working away unconcernedly when the experimenter returned in the evening. On one occasion, accord ing' to a prearranged plan, he turned six bees loose in the city at six o'elock in the morning. He had previ ously colored the wings of each with red ink, so that his confederate and co experimenter, a sister who also had an entomological taste, could not possibly le mistaken as to the exact time of their arrival. The first one reached the home hive at twenty-two minutes past two. Be fore five three more of them had safely arrived, but were seemingly much fa tigued. At nightfall the fifth an.l sixth of the home-loving little insects had not put in an appearance, llright and early the next morning, however, the young sci entists were overjoyed to tind all the red-winged honey gatherers humming merrily about their work. Experiments with large black ant were equally satisfactory. The same scientist tied yellow silk alout the 'waists" of three large-sized specimens that lived in a hollow tree in the heart of a large wood. These were carried distances varying from one to five miles from their homes, but invariably re turned within a surprisingly short time. HER FATHER'S DINNER. A I'retty 8iht Wltoeaaed oat a New Yark Street Car. Car Xo. : went rattling up Fourth avenue the other noon at a great rate. A breakdown in the ltowery had Mocked the track and delayed travel nearly half an hour. To make up the lost time the horse tore along and the car 1kI1h-1 up and down like a sun baked dug-out dancing on the bay. No stop was made to take on passen gers, nor did the driver slacken speed until he reached Twenty -seventh street. Then he Wgan to whistle softly and study the people along tlie west side of the aveuue. lie was a slightly-built man alxmt forty yean of age, but weather-beaten, bent and wrinkled from exposure and unremitting toil. As the car approached Twenty-ninth street it slowed up and the tune became merrier and louder, says the New York Evening World. Then both stopped for a moment and a little girl in a gingham dress ar d a Tarn O'Shanter, with danc ing bro-vn hair and apple-red cheeks, came up to the front platform and, with a "hello, papal" that made her blue eyes twinkle and her red cheeks dimple, laid a lunch basket at the driver's feet. A passenger who stepped aside looked at the child with admiration and at the man with envy, then gave a sigh and continued smoking. Like a deer she Hew across the cobble stones, the sun and wind gilding and tangling her beautiful hair, and reach ing the sidewalk she waited with her little hand pressed to her mouth. She watched the car with childish eager uess until a figure leaned over the step and a bronzed face turned smilingly toward her, and then she threw the kiss that sweetened the noonday and sea soned the dinner of a happy man. WHAT AILED THE CAKE. Oridget Meant Well, Hut Her Efforte Wars I'neuceeaaful. It is said that good cooks, like good nurses, are "horn, not made." In this opinion a lady who has recently, strug gled with the ignorance and stupidity of a servant who was "willin' and anx ious, ma'am," fully concurs, says the Youth's Companion. 'No- see what a nice loaf of cake you can make from this receipt, Uridget," said the mistress one morning. "Ke nicmlier the things 1 have told you; there's no reason why you shouldn't have :ts light a loaf of cake as anybody." "Yes, ma'am," said Uridget. "I'll re member iverything, au" I'll warrant I'll be ufther givin' you a foine loaf." :ut when the loaf was at last with drawn from the oven by the despairing I!ri.lff-t, it presented anything but a light and well-baked aspect. "What iver can Ik the matter with it?" groaned poor llrtdget when she had summoned her mistress to inspect the .ininviting panful. 'liil you remember to put baking r.owder in the nour, Bridget".'" queried the lady. "The bakin'-powder is in it all right, iM'am," responded Bridget, "but niver a bit av flour. I put in eorn-atarch, ma'am, in place av the flour." 'C'oru-starch!" gasped the mistress. 'Imlade, yis, ma'am!" said Bridget. "You said you wanted the cake very light, and it was yoursilf was telliu me the other day how much lighter corn starch was than flour, so I just put in two heapin' cups av corn-starch, ma'am!" A CHILD'S BARGAIN. She 1'urchaaed aa lafant at a Or eat 9a. rifle. The following true story is told in the "Journal of Kmily Shore." It illus trates the truth that if oue really de sires au article, the most sensible way is to purchase it as soon as an oppor tunity occurs. A little girl near us was one day play ing Ik-fore the house, when a woman appeared and begged a few pence. She had a baby in her arms, and the child was so delighted with the little thing that she asked the woman if she would sell it to her. "What will you give for it, miss?" wa the counter-question. "Hal f-a-cro w n. " "Very well." said the woman. 'Let's see the money." It wits produced, and the sale made. The little girl took the baby, carried it upstairs and laid it on her l-d. and, after she had fondled it "enough for one," s-ampereel away downstairs, calling to her mother: "Mamma, mamma! I've got a live doll! I always wanted one, and a w I've got it." The baby was found, and the st:ry frankly told, but though the beggar woman was sought all over the town, no trace of her could be discovered. Meanwhile the baby's little "owner" begged so hard tlutt it should be kept that the parents yielded, and the living doll b.-eame a household blessing. luiMaraul ( urrrnrr.

CLOVE VICTIMS. Over-Indulgence iu tbo ouiltairnt Id Ottea ratal. A physical wreck from e-ttin; cloves. kll as it may seem to the non-professional person, this condition is not at all un'-ommon in those wins carry this foolish habit to excess. Comparatively harmless as is the use of cloves in the bejjiutiin. says the New York Journal, the system s.ton feels a craving for the stimulating' ef fect produced by them, and slowly and insidiously the habit grows until the become as much an absolute n;cef.sil to the victim as does brand v to the dip somaniac or opium to the morphine ijeutl. It is in their tupposcd hanulessncsi that the dan fer of acquiring the clove habit lies. Sehooljrirls, whose taste has been perverted by over-iutlulreuee in sweets, turn naturally to the spice can ister iu search of a cliange for the organs of taste with thf aliu-jst invaria ble result that they finally discard the candies for the pungent little bud. The habit once acquired, the uncon scious victim begins to find that what was once a pastime has now become a necessity, and iu stead of bcinjr satisfied with a small quantity, as at first, two or three ounces a day are found neces sary to satisfy the ysta-tn"K craving. Then follows a gradual but certain breaking-down of the constitution, be ginning' at the nerve centers, which fin ally Wing's the victim to a pitiabl con dition. CROWING CONTESTS. Maalc Farnlahed by etooatere Kntered in sv Kegulavr Competition. Recently there was a very interesting erowiuj contest between roosters iu Belgium. The poultry raisers of the vicinity of L.iep-e are such admirers of the music which their roosters furnish that they decided to hold a competition at Licffe in order to prove definitely whose rooster was the champion crow er. All the birds entered in the compe tition and there w-as a great number were placed in cages, one in each cage, with a trustworthy man in front of each to record the crowing. The con test lasted one hour, and the cock which crowed the greatest number of times in that period received a valuable prize. The winner of the prize crowed one hundred and thirty-four times, or more than twice a minute. The Youth's Companion thinks that anyone who has seen a young rooster mount a barnyard fence and crow until the housewife comes out and throws a milk pan at him will not W inclined to impeach the accuracy of this count, unless he thinks it is au understatement. It is possible that the Liege cocks were embarrassed by the strange surroundings and did not do themselves jnstice. TIDINGS FROM EUROPE.

At Tucker, in Ripley count y. Mo., there is a curiosity in the peach tree line which will be sent to the world's fair. The tree Is three years old, about one and a half inches in diameter at the butt, is thirty-seven feet high and has no limb or branch on it. Among the most remarkable spiders is the Dolomedes, which runs over the surface of water in pursuit of its prey, and dives to escape its enemies. Stranger still is the Argyroneta. which builds its house wherein it lays its eggs and rears its young; at the bottom of streams. Electricity In the Vatican. The pope has considered the use of electricity, and the installation of an electric lighting system in the Vatican is in progress. The Papal palace has for some time had an elevator, also a complete telephonic system of its own, and connected with the central station in Rome. His holiness has ap parently become convinced that the "world do move," and hence, perhaps, his leas bigoted attitude toward Amer icas public schools. LADIES!
