He moves alons the side of the oar and notes all the wheels, brak.' beams, bolsters, rods, etc. lit uses no hammer, but has his e.vos open for de fects. He will stop suddenly, look carefully at a crack running, perhaps, from the flange to the ccnln. Such : whopl Is condemned at once and the car is shifted off until a new pair of wheels can ne piaceu unucr u. ii there be a flat spot on a. wheel which i measures mote than two and a half incnes across, mat wneci musi. Ko iuu. . Then there may be a sharp flange, and that must be looked after. A coupling may have faults, a brake rigging may have given out, and all thes-e things the inspector must take note of. He must be an honest man, as thou sands of dollars worth of property and many lives might be lost in case ot negligence. Hox car doors he looks at carefully. They aie dangerous things if they aie locr.. Many an en gineer or fireman has met his doom by having the cab strike a loose cur door. It may be hanging In place in the yard, but when it leachr-s a point where a strong wind i filches It out it goes, and a passing engine &ttiges it. In .'iich eases theie ir a. shower of splinters, a broken cab, and it Is lucky, indeed, if there Is no one killed. Englneeis have a dread of loos doors and are always glad when a freight train is past them when they are running at full speed. Another tiling the Inspector must watch Is the hopper bottom dump car. Tf the fas tenings get loose and let a load of ore down on the track while the train is in motion It means a bad wreck. Tak ing all things Into consideration, the car inspector is a very important man in the railway service, and eltlcieney on his part comes only finm long ex perience and careful training. Will Grow Timber for Ties. The In. teasing difficulty in obtaining suitable material for cross ties has induced the officials of the Ulg Four road to make the experiment of grow ing trees for this express purpose. A large tract of land between Brlghtwood and Ingalls, Ind., belonging to the company, has been selected for the experiment. The company has se lected catalpa as a tree affording the best class of timber, and which Is of rapid growth, and a tralnload of trees have been brought from Kansas for planting. It is estimated that In Mxteen years these trees will be sixty feet high und twenty inches in diameter, and will nlford (list-rate timber They iJl be planted about COO to the acie. and will be thinned out as required for healthy growth. Each tiee will yield. It Is cal culated, (l-o or six ties. The small trees now being set out were grown by the Kansas Citv, Fort Hcott and Gulf road, and have flourished. Age Limit on Railroads. Within the paBt few yeais It has been tho polity of many of the rail roads to establish an age Unit In tho employment of new men. On most t ho roads the. limit has been fixed at forty and forty-live yeais. We under stand the object of 1 iitlng the age of employes is to prevent the s.-rvlce from being over-crowded with old men. , Recently an order was Issued by the Pennsylvania rallroid tnat after January-1. 1000, no new men will be em ployed in. either the train, roadway or shop departments who are over thirty-five years of age. On tht Haiti more nnd Ohio railroad nn age limit for locomotive engineers hes been fixed Rt thirty-five years and for flrcmin at twenty-seven yeais. This is a very serious matter to railroad men In gen eral nnd one that has pot toecn fore seen The question naturally nrires, what rare railroad men to do In the future, when from any cause they are thrown out of employment?

Disasters That Uavo Been Indicated During Sleep. From the Philadelphia Times. Strange and Inexplicable as It may seem, It Is an Indisputable fact that, di earns do foreshadow or denote dlsaB tcrs, and such cases are of mush more frequent occurrence thun Is generally supposed. An extraordinary Instance was brought to light at an Inquest hetd at lUimlngham, England, four years ago, on the body of u girl who was found drowned In a canal near Spring Hill, In that town. She had been away fiom homo on a visit to her aunt, and as she did nGt return her absence was re ported to the police. The night after hearing ol the girl's disappearance the nunt dreamed that she was on the bank of the canal re ferred to, and that while passing along she tippled the water with her um brella r,ti which the boV "f. her niece at once rose to the surface. Next morning alio visited the spot Mittt had tlgured In the dream, and, finding the police dragging another portion of the canal. ;he suggested that they should try tho part she 1-ad dreamed of. This they at once did, v lth the startling re sult that the bod-, was Immediately brought to the surface The fetinatlonal U'evftiH affair was last yeir productive of a similar dream during M. Zola's prjtcpvs In London. One night Miss Vlzetelly. daughter of the well-known publisher, whoso guest the famous French writer was at the time, di earned that she was in the fort U'Ma that formed the prison of Henry, one cit the notorious characteis In tho affair. On the floor she saw a man lying In a pool of blood, the spectacle somehow seeming to make her feel glad. Next morning she related her dream to her father's guest, and a short time after wards newspapers were brought in an nouncing the suicide of lleniy. It then transpired that while the lady was deraining of It the rash act was ac tually being committed. Not long since there was a fatal shaft accident at u colliery at Orlsley. Det by shire, England. It happened on a Monday and the night before a collier employ ! in the pit where the disaster took place had a dream. In this he was horrified to see the cage In whith the miners descend-' to their woik dash down from the top to the bot'om, killing all le men. The dream made him feel quite 111, and, waking his wife, he related It to her. She persuaded him not to go to his work In the morning, and very for tunately, too, for an accident did hap pen, and to the very cage by which ho would have gone down the shaft. There was a less satisfactory sequel to a somewhat similar dream which came to light at the inquest on the three men killed a hhort time, ago by a fall of stone In the Kelloe pit. One of the victims, named Davison, lived with his mother, v ho. the night before the accident dreamed that she Haw ner so)) br0UBht honle Hfclcss. She imploud hinv not to go to work next ,JuVt )nit he lghtIy repiiea lnat if i,a hil(1 to bu kll0(, ,t mIpht n we be tnat dav ,ls, ...... ...,. Anfl th!lt .,..v it was, as foieshadowed in his wld owed mother's dream. Uetween four and five years ago a I'enhar miner, of the name of McFar lane, disappeared from his home, all efforts to trace him proving fruitless. A day or two afterwatds a brother-in-law of the missing man fell asleen and dreamed that he saw his lost relathe at a icrtaln part of tho Al mond Water, several miles away. On learning this the searchers pro ceeded to th spot and soon found foot prints In the snow, following which they came upon the body of the man standing upright In the water, which was frozen all round him. Tho dream that denoted this disastet caused quite a sensation In the nelghboihood. Imagine a woman dreaming that she was going to be murdered, and the manner in which the foul deed was to b done! Such was the experience of Airs. Eggleston, of Antelope Valley, Mono eounty, California, whoso dream was fulfilled to the letter a few days later. A week or so before the event took place she told several neighbors who had dreamed that, as she was nbouc to open the oven door In her kluhen one morning, a man named Watkins suddenly appeared with a knlfd In his hand and stabbed her several times The neighbors were rather p"r tutbed at this, and when the poor woman Mas found dead m her house, wounded In the mannct Indicated, a short time afterwatds, her dieam was brought bach vividly to thtlr minds. The man who had figured in it a the assassin was at once apprehended and his guilt was proved up to the hilt. A ( ase .nose, too, out of the rccen holiday season. A young man, res! dent of King's Iynn. was drowned while bathing at Scarborough, v.1 her he was spending his 'acation. Two o, thiee nights before his sister at hum had a dream In which she saw him dt owning, and so real did it seem that 3he woke up with loud cries. It af- I feeted her so much that next day she wrote to her brother entreating him' to oxueise the greatest care. "Vou need not tell me I know he Is drowned'" was the tciniiiU with which she artonlshed the police when they went to appilse her of tho fad occur rence. Some eighteen mimtho sineo news reached New York of n tenlble ds aa mite exjil islon whirl, had t iken pluco In the f'unisy mln, ne-tr Skylnmlsh. a day or two before. It resulted In the death of two men, one of whurn as named Hobiuson. At tli time of the accident the hitter's yo ng wife wai er-U'Vto,;. 'X ......

Awakening: In jjieat agitation, una aroused her mother anil related what she had seen In her Bleep. The old lady essaed to reassure her, but nothliiK would convince her that her husband had not been killed, and In the midst of her lamentutlons a messenger ar rived to apprise her of the accident. Last year un enjtlno driver, named Edward Jones, fell ort hw locomotive at Wrexham, England, and was killed. It was disclosed at tho Inquest on his body that tho night before the acci dent the unfortunate man's wife dreamed that this event had taken place. To ease lier mind she grot up and went to the works to ascertain whether he was safe. She found him all right then, but shortly after she had returned home the accident took place and her strange dream was ful filled, A similar experlenco recently befell the wife of a Leeds cab proprietor. Among her friends was an old lady of sixty of the name of Hlgglns, and a few nights after paying her a visit she dreamed that her friend was dead, This Induced her to take the first op. portunlty of seeing the old lady again, and next morning she proceeded to tho house In which her friend resided alone. Getting no response to her repeated knocks, she summoned one of the old lady's relatives, who, with a doctor and a policeman, forced the door and found the aged occupant dead In her bed room. A remarkable Instance of a dream that denoted disaster occurred In Paris In connection with tho death of a well known Kngllsh gentleman Jockey, who was killed there by a fall from his horse. According to his own testimony,) a confidential friend of the unfortunate nun was troubled with a very dis quieting dream the night before the accident took place. In It ho saw a. horseman wearing a cherry-red coat, which was his friend's particular color, crushed to death by n fall. Mitch impressed by this slngultr occurrence he mentioned his dream to several acquaintances next morning, but not one of them would regard It In at all a serious light. Before long", however, It had been fulfilled to the letter, and the skeptics changed their views. All the foregoing instances aro strictly authentic, nnd conclusively show that there aro some things dreamed of In our beds which cannot yet be accounted for by our philo sophy. Clocks of Bygone Days. From the New 'ioik Heiahl. In the town of Schramberg, In tho Illaek Forest district of Wurtemberg, Germany, where one of the chief Indus tries Is that of clock making, there has recently been established an Interest ing museum of timepieces. The col lection displays the gradual develop ment In the making of clocks for many centuiies. Among the curiosities are many of great historical value. There Is an alarm clock constructed In the year 16S0 for the use of travelers. In form it resembles a lantern, and the Interior Is designed to hold a lighted candle. The candle is slowly pushed upward by a spring, which also controls th. mechanism of the clock. A little pair of shears clips the wick of the candle automatically every minute to regulaio Its light. The lantein is Inclosed wltn ! movable sides, so that the sleeper Is "A Word to the Wise' is Sufficient ft 'But some stubborn people wait until "down sick " be fore trying to ward off illness or cure it.

The alarm Is set by Inserting a peg In the second dial plate. When the re quired hour arrives the alarm Is sound ed, and at the same time tho movable slides fall, flooding the room with light Among the curiosities Is a Japanese saw clock. The clock Itself produces the motive power by descending a saw formed strip of metal, the teeth ot which operate the wheel of tho clock work. In another Japanese clock th hand Is attached to a weight, which sinks once In twenty-four hours. Tho time Is Indicated by a hand on the perpendicular scale. The Right Word.
