A little knot of smoky, begrimed en gineers, firemen and switch tentleTS were sitting together on a tool box at the east end of the truin shed at Altoona. The silence of the night was broken only by the monotonous puff, puff of a shifting engine dragging a heavily loaded west bound freight to the upper yard. Through the maze of tracks gleamed scores of red, green and white lights marking the switches. The group of train hands were idling the time away until the hour should come when the engines should be brought out to haul the two sections of fast line. "No. 4," over the middle division to Htir risburg. There was yet a long time to wait, for the bell on the machine shops had just tolled 11, and the train was not dne until after midnight, The crowd on the Logan house porch, that great re sort of Mountain City inhabitants, was thinning out, nnd as tho air grew more chilly the lively conversation halted and the men on the tool box became silent and thoughtful. Suddenly one of them exclaimed: Here comes old John Malone. Let's get him to tell us that story about the last run he made. Hi, therel" he con- tinned in a louder voice. "John, John Malone!" The passer stopped and peered in through the railings. "Oh, is it you, Billy.-' ho ejaculated. I couldn't make out who was calling me. JSly eyes ana ears are not as gooa as they were ten years back." Billy soon had the gate open fof Ma lone to enter, and as the two drew near the others the old man asked, "What are yon sitting here for, and what do you want with mef "The same old thing, Johnny; we re waiting to take out first section of four, and to pass the time we want you to tell ns again of that trip you made back in the eighties which made yon leave the footboard." The old man took a seat, filled and lighted his nine and puifed away vigor ously for a while before replying. "Well, boys," he said at last, "I don't particularly like to talk about that run, and it is hardly the right kind of a story to spin to you as you are going to take out the same train I had that night, but if you want to hear it I'll go ahead. "It s hern a good many years ago. but can spb the whole thing as clearly as the night it happened, and it was no dream, though everybody thought so. peedn t tell you fellows that fast line was the first east bound passenger train after Ibe mail exnvess. which left here about 7 o'cloc'c. Wo generally got the train from the Pittsburg division about half an hour t3 an hour late, but as we only flagged at Tyrone and Huntingdon we always rame lntollamstmrgon time to the second. This was easy on a down grade and a hundred and thirty mile run without a hi op. The way we used to yank the coaches along the river was caution, and many's tha time we rattled over the Juniata at n mile a minute, not even slowing down for hpruce creek tunnel. "At that hour of tho night we nearly always got the white light from tho towers. Now and then the green would be given nnd we had to reduce speed but rarely the red. Well, this thing of running iv train like four with a clear track, no stops and' nothing to see but the ballast and trees alongside of the rails makes a fellow .grow indifferent, and I won't sav a little nervous. It wearing on'a man to hpeed along througl; those mountains hour after hour in the middle of the night, never seeing a light except in tho tower, and feeling the cold air blow in on mm trnm those hills m ing hundreds of feet overhead. An en gineer cannot tell-what Instant he's go ipg to crash into a landslide. I tell you a night run is enough to make a man feel mighty solemn when passing through Jack's Narrows, or halt a dozen other barren rooky spots, such as can be found between here and the Susquehanna, nil of which yon boya know well. "The night I was speaking of we left here thirty minutes late, and a hot box on the smoker held its fifteen min utes more at Tyrone Forges. When we got started again I pulled her wide open and let her rip. We had nine cars on three of them sleepers, nnd that waa heavy load for one of the old style en gines, but we bumped along at a lively rate. Beyond Huntingdon we fairly hummed along the canal, depending nl together on the towers, for it was dark we couldn't see even the Juniata right Mow us. We had no further trouble as to delays. The east bonn freight and coal trains were all side tracked, and we did not even get a green light until we reached Lewlstown June tion. Somehow or other I was not feeling myself that night, and I don't believ the fireman and I had half a dozen Word in the first hundred miles. As we run through the Narrows I leaned out of the cab and kept an eye on the track for rocks. It was impossible to see any dis tance, howover, and as I turned aroimd to look for the tall lamps on the rear sleeper I thought of the scores of people behind me riding in fancied security, while the only safeguard from wreck was In Providence. Straight up on the right rose the mountains for nearly a thousand feet, and on tue outer nana was the Juniata, dark and unreal iti the wav ering glare of the headlight. "On and on we went, past little vll- of all in Leavening Power. o HiEh"' m 1 x rw ABSOLUTELY PURE lages and farm houses, shooting over tho road crossings and crushing by empty stntions, nil of which I knew by instinct, for there were no lights to toll us. "As we drew newr the Susquehanna the air became clearer, and when we came within sight of Duncannon the great limning sfheks of the iron Works shone nhend of us like inmionso torches. We wero ngnin on schedule time when we passed through the town, and as we ran along the bank of tho Susquehanna I slowed down a little. Away across the water I could see the tall switch signals on the Northern Central tracks. By and by I caught ft glimpse' of a headlight and then the fuitit glow of car windows, although so far distant that the train was scHrrely visible through the slight mist rising off the liver. I called the fireman's attention to the train, remark ing that the Northern Central cofWction of 'four' was late, nnd that no doubt we would get tho red at Rockvillo lower, as the other train should clfctr ns at least seven minutes, but Jimmy, after taking long look, said he couhltut see across the river on account of tho Tog. As you all know, tho old Northern Central bridge was then standing, and the tracks of that road cut right through ours nt Mnrvsville and entered tho bridge jnst after rrossing our west bound rails. The bridge, now torn down, was even then considered unsafe, nnd was rarely used, the through passenger trains on the Northern Central being run on the east bank of the river to Itockville, then on onr tracks to Ilarrisburg, and then over the Cumberland Valley bridge to their own road again. Well, as I drew near Marysvillo I kept my eye on the other train, which I could see dis tinctly, thinking that we would let it tve a good start, so as not to get blocked when we crossed the river. We were not running more than twenty-five miles an hour, and when finally the Northern Central train was hidden by the long covered bridge I concluded sho would reach Iloclcvillo beforonvo got to the west, bank of the liver. "The bridge crossed the river diagonal ly, and wo had not yet reached its mouth when iny frame stiffened with horror nd my eyeR fairly burned in their sock ets. Right in front 1 could see the head light of an engine flashing through the bridge, and almost at the same instant I caught a glimpse of a well filled passen gr train coming over the crazy old structure at full speed. I know instinct ively that it would reach the crossing but a moment before us, and that no power on earth could avert a collision.. Absolutely paralyzed with fright, I can still remember seeing Jimmy leaning out of the cab and pulling the bell rope as unconcernedly as though there were no such thing ns danger. I closed my eyes in horrible suspense. In an instant the crash came. I felt the engine reel and shake; I heard the grinding of the timbers and the roar of escaping steam. wmle on the air rose such a wail as never before or since met iny cars, 'The next thing I knew was when I felt some one shaking me and heard the fireman shout: 'Shut her off, Johnny: shut her off. Do yon want to get us both hud off?' With au effort I brought back ray senses and grasped tho lovers in front of me. When I looked around we were under the shed at Harrisburg. L heard a passenger ask a brakeman: Has the N. C. train come in?" and the reply dazed me: 'Yes, sir, como in ten minutes ugo.' I resigned the next day, boys, and I wouldn't run the risk of going through that experience again for the whole road." The old man's last words were drowned in the roar of au incoming train, and ere ho had finished first sec tion of iso. 4 had come rumbling into the station from tho west. Philadelphia Times.

This new "sweetener,", which the French government has already prohibited, ow ing to what it calls a dangerous ele ment which enters in its formation, does entirely away witii the use of sugar. It costs almost nothing. A prominent member of a canning firm in an eastern city, while oxpen monting with saccharine, has discovered that pineapples preerved in it would al most entirely retain their natural taste. Tins is in itself a great discovery, as al most everybody knows the difference in taste liotween canned pineapples and I those which are Imported direct from the south. bt. Louis Globe-Democrat.

The r.oiif Tralnluf Xaedod hy the Desert King Ileror He'll Slavs. The very spirited illustration of three Hons driven nhreast by a man standing erect in a Roman chariot Is familiar to most residents in London. It portrays, without the usual alisurd exaggeration of mural art, an ontcrtaiument which is given daily at the French exhibition at Earl's court. In the center of tho largo circular space which has been used -during the last few years for the display of the In dians of the Wild West, the sports of the Roman amphitheatre, etc.. is erected a smaller circle, securely surrounded with iron bars, having at tho back an inclosed building containing dens. The "open sesame" of my liost passed us into tho private recesses of this prison house, in whlcii I found four young lions, the old est being about 8 years of age. ' These constituted the trained troupo, and thore was also one younger scholar, who had just been added to tho collec tion. The education of this one Was just commencing, and ho still retained the feline characteristics to such an extent that any approach to familiarity was met by a snarl which displayed tho unshed milk teeth ot the owner, looking as sharp and needlelike as thone ot a puppy. The training of theso young lions rarely occupies less space of time than twelve months, and is chiefly accom plished by kindness. Mr. Darling, their trainer, informod mo that he regarded force as uot lieing desirable, as it excited the animals to rebellion and was not conducive to oliedience, whereas, trained under the system adopted, eaeh.animnl knows its name and answers to it. So successful are tho methods employed by Mr. Darling that ho has never been bitten by the animals during the time he has had thorn in hand. In addition to the lions tho collection includes two hugo Bavarian boarhounds, which take a very prominent, part in the performance. After this introduction to tho perform ers I took my seat with tho audience to witness the exhibition. Mr. Darling and his assistant entered tho arena with tho lions and one of the dogs; the former, at tho word of command, leaped up upon liedostals nnd arranged themselves in pyramidal groups. While in this posi tion Mr. Darling placed the ends of two Bfliirfs In the mouths of tho lions, form ing festoons, over and under which one of tho dgs leaped; two of tho lions then stepjicd upon a plank forming a seesaw, the dog leaping on to tho center and swaying it from side to side. One of the lions then mounted a tri cycle, working the pedals moving the front wheel with its fore feet, while tho boarhound was pushing behind. The chariot was then brought forward; one lion entered readily betwecu tho shafts, and two others took their places at either side, one proving rather refractory; but after sundry growls he subniltted to the stronger will of the trainer, who mounted tho chariot and drove the trio round the circle. The iierfonnance is very disiinct from that bf lion tamers in gouoral, who rule their chargus with rods of Iron and prod them with points worse than the stings of scorpions, utilizing tho fear and terror of the animals at tho suporior power of man. Mr. Darling, on the other hand, is very familiar with tho members of his troupe. Tho manner in which he took hold of tho forelegs of one of the largest and pulled him down from his pedestal when ho was not snlTlciently quick in descending was amusing. The lions are of African descent, but, like tho majority of the species now in menageries, havo all been born in captiv- ity, and familiarized with uinn from their birth. Whether they will retain their docility as they advance toward their full size remains to be seen; but at present they offer tho most complete specimens of trained lions that it has ever been- the writers fortune to witness. London Field, THE YANDERBILT CHILDREN. Tl,.y Art Cnrorully RdncMud nlul Sys Inniilttcttlly Tnilned. Although all tho inpinlnjrs of tho Van- derbilt family entertain M a magnificent scale thoy never permit their children to remain up lato at night, are extremely curefnl in their edncntion, and, in word, aro fitting them for life ns well as any mother nr father could do. It Is one of the rules in all the houses of tho Vanderbilts that tho children shall go to bed early nnd rise early, Tho littlo boys and girls are up.beforo 7 o'clock in the morning. Their muses immediately take chargo of thoni, see that they are properly bathed and dressed, and then they go down to breakfAit, which served at half-past 7 o'clock. is It is nn unpretentious meal, with plenty of fresh milk, eggs, oatmeal and a hit of steak or a chop that will add strength to their physique and color to their cheeks. Aftor breakfast there an hour of study. Thero is something for those little ones to do at all timos during tho day. They go through their stndieH systematically,-and then, about half-past l, are taken out for a walk. They aro allowed to romp in tho streets and in the parks to their hearts' content, At II o'clock thuy are brought home, and a light luncheon of milk and bread is served, after which there aro more studies either French, Oermnn or draw ingand then another breathing spell it may ho horseback riding, or n drive out through the pa tic and along the country road. Back they all come about 4 o'clock, and there is another hour of study, and then they are through for the day. They are allowed to do jnst as they please nntil tea time, when after their meal they stioud a pleasant hour or so with their fathers and mothers and others who ma v drop in to call. Promptly at o'clock they are all in bed to sleet soundly, and got up the next morning to go through the sj.inu programme. So it Is not strange that all tho children of the Vnndprbilt family aro further in ad vance of their littlo friends in the mat ter of education. For they study, study, study all the time. They are all fond of music and most of them can play on the ma 110. The girls are learning to play on the harp, and the boys are famous among their friends as violinist and banjo players. If yon were to see these chil dren on the street you would not for moment stwpect that they were other than chudrenof parents in ordinary circum stances. They make no display at elabo rate dress.

Judges and Itnllwuf rropertlf This effort to obtain a receivership, which mesnti the temporary control of tho whole railway, generally result In a violent struggle between dlfforent inter csts, etthor to secure or maintain the management through the receivership. The determination of whether a receiver ship is to be had, and of the person or persons to be such receivers, lies in the aims of a singlo judge. This class of cases givos to the circuit judges of the United States, by transferring to them the management and operation of vast railway properties, a degree of response rtlity nnd patronage never originally in tended to be placed in their power. Tho opportunities thus presented to a court of justice for the exercise of pat ronage, tho reward of friends, tho selec tion of counsel for receivers, the p- Iiointment of masters, and tho manipn latiou and adjustment of large pecuniary interests, are in themselves very much to be deprecated. While no scandals of any magnitude- havo as yet arisen from this power of appoiutment and the pat ronage and peonnlary expenditure inci- oent- thereto, it is, after nil said and done, a modern, and indeed a much more formidable, form of judicial property administration than that which corrupt ed the court of chancery in England in tho exorcise of its jurisdiction over the estates of wards in chancery. In the western and southwestern dis tricts of ourTiircnit courts of the United States properties larger in extent and n pecuniary value than any that pawed under the control of the English courts of chancery between 1720 and 18i0 in tho administration of the estates of wards have thus passed under the con trol of the Individual circuit jndges of the United States.
