tails. The engine was stopped and ex
amination phoned that the man had
been dead for some time. Word was
sent to Undet taker Purple, who took
charge of the remains. The man was
evidently killed by a train, and It Is
supposed that the accident "ctuiied
late Friday night. One arm Is cut off
near tie shoulder nnd one of his feet
Is gone It Is possible that the man
was not killed lnstantl. but that he
lay nlong the tiack after the accident
and hied to death. Kxcept for the in
juries to his limbs, no serious wounds
are perceptible. None of the train
crews has any recollection of anything
that would Indicate the time of tho
accident.
Deputy Coroner Spaeth was notified
of tho finding of the body and viewed
the lemains. He did not deem nn In
quest necessary, as nerv evidence
showed nn accidental" death. Nothing

The dead man was appuionlly about

medium height and weight, dark com
plexion, and had a black moustache.
It Is possible that he was tiding on a
freight 01 coal tialn and fell between

J ONE WOMAN'S VIEWS.
Postnfllco people find very queer
things In the malls beside letters.
These things get loose In the pouches
and having no mark of owners hip
have to be ecnt to the general d'strlb
utlng ulllces. The articles which enjoy
a monopoly now-u-days nio th1 101
tlons of bicycles. In a icceiitl pub
lished list of strayed piopeiiy, nbout
eveiy alternate thing was a lib yde
bar damp, ball bcailng, bicycle seat
post, saddle, or some other appui ten
am e of a wheel. Another and eatelcss
pation of the malls Is the peison who

and bother the cleiks. Hero are some
of the things lecently described for

tice toad alive, one dpad alligator, one
yellow butterfly about to emerge from
the cocoon, one csmall snake pieserved
la alcohol, one box containing two live
ctlckets, one hind foot of a rabbit
These are only a few fiom the collec
tion which seems likely to remain
unclaimed.
At the Scranton postotllce may be
se-n a tiny pair of Indian moc.aslns,
gij in bead woik, and awaiting a
claimant. Money In coin Is frequently
found loose in the mailn. Instead of
placing It In the envelope secuiely
fastened to paper, the senders have a
habit of enclosing It In a little box
whoso sharp coiners speedily nibble
their way out and as the box la usual
ly unmarked, the money Is dlflicult to
Identify. A the dollar gold piece was
recently returned to a sender by the
officials at this postoflke, but It was
only after long and laborious effort
that the Identification was made sat
isfactory. Said a rallioad postal clerk
the other da.v "I always regaicl the
southern mall with suspicion duting the
winter. You never know what some
blooming Idiot will box up and send
to his fi lends In the notth. We actu
allv found a llttlo tarantula, one time,
sm, ill to be sure, but lively, and the
number of creeping i raw ling things
they f-eem possessed to put In tho malt
Is enough to make any postal clerk
devote himself to water as a bevevage
dining the remainder of his life these
silly green chameleons, and queer
blown beetles, ou know. Harmb ss,
oh, yet-, but It gives a fellow a stait
to find an amateur ciocodile trying to
ciawi up his arm under his cuff when
he's all alone In tho car at midnight
on an express train that makes few
stops. The (list time I had an experi
ence was when I beheld a queci, batty
looking thing emerging from a box
that, from Its appearance, might have
contained loses for a gill gtaduate.
It had hateful wings and an evil sneer
on Its horrid face and to mo it looked
like a pocket edition of the devil. Wo
weie fifty miles fiom the next stop
nnd I lang the bell futlously, climbed
up on a big safe In the coiner and
waited for the conductor to rescue
me. The crew came In expecting that
It was a case of toad ageitn, and after
some time It was discovered that the
bat thing was some kind of a South
American vampire and that It was dead
enough, having been cniefully attend
ed to by the taxldeimlst before stait
Ing on lbs travels. I've always thought
I'd like to meet the man who mailed
that annex to tho Keeley cure."
If you want to do a good deed that
will make you feel as If you have a
right to rock on your veranda this
summer and read the latest book, or
sit by the library table next winter
and lose yourself In the delight of
enjoying your favorite author, Just
look over your books nnd see if theio
aro not some ou do not want or could
i caddy spin e from your over-crowded
shelves. Perhaps, too, you will u
member that In the attic aro bound
volumes of good magazines or that
jou have stiay numbeis of iccent date
that only cumber your section of the
earth. Box them all and send them
up to the Soldleis' Orphan school at
Hiirfctrd. If you could icallze the
blessing thus confened you would pat
youiself on the head thereafter for a
w eek.
Oh, If you could see that old loom
where tho bos eongregnte with Its
white, worn floor, Its wood woik, bat
tered by the contact with countless
ustless feet, and nnclent chairs; with
tho llttlo book case In tho corner and
the pitifully fow books but so shabby
with eager handling you would gladly
glvo of your abundance to feud the
active young brains.
How they lovo theso books, which
never seem to havo been new. nnd how
tender Is the care which they recelvo
from tho boys, llttlo and big. A few
good periodicals aro provided, and
nround theso nnd the newspapers thoy
throng with a zest that the younger
generation of this city, now nccus
tomed to the advantages of the public
library, can little compielipnd.
Nobody who has not lived In tho
country nnd has not known what It
Is to tieasure the nieagie store of
books usually found In the fanners
home nnd to giudglngly tin ti the
leaves of the one newly ptocuied lest
too soon the tieasuro bo spent can
appreciate tho depilvatlon suffered by
the young and active mind, where nU
the books within leach are known "by
heait."

From Chamber's Journal
It can no longer bo Fald that Great

A few woids fiom any point on the

the hasty commissioning of the par
