Runaway Locomotives. "Wild engine? Well, yea; I hve 6een a tew in my dy, said n old en gineer to a writer. The subject kaJ been brought up by the discussion of the rcu liar actions of a runaway engine. The engineer in question settled himself com fortably in hi, chair, put hia feet on the Uble, bit off the end of a Perfecto hand ed him by the reporter, lighted it, and, w ith keen reliah. exhaled a cloud of emoke. After several puffs on the fra grant weed he began : "Yon see, I have been engineering cow for 28 years, and in that time I have seen many curious acciJonts, many narrow escapes and many .horrible deaths, but" and he looked at the lighted end of the 25 center in a meditative way "that is neither here nor there." You wish to bear some wild engine stories. There are few of these stories to tell, as these accidents happen but sel dom and are becoming less frequent with each day. "The first one that I knew of happened just after the St. Louis & San Francisco road was built. I was at Canon City with my train. On the track ahead of me stood a freight train, which was on the side track. "The engineer and fireman left the en gine to get orders. Without warning the locomotive started backward. The switch had been left open- The men on the train saw it coming and scattered. "The engine demolished the first three box cars and was badly damaged so badly damaged that a careful examina tion failed to determine what has caused the runaway. "I will tell about another accident nearer home, which happened about nine years ago on the Shore line division. Engine No. 27 as standing at East Lou isville. The fireman and engineer were in the office. he was headed toward Anchorage. "Suddenly and without warning the wheels began to spin around. For an in stant the old machine stood still, then w ith a snort leaped forward like a spir ited horee that had suddenly freed itself from the rein. I was standing near the end of the depot farthest from the en gine. My fireman had up , full head of steam on No. 107. "I waved to him and he brought her tip. I boarded without her being slowed op. We threw the throttle w ide open, and Bill filled the furnace. Then began a race that I ill never forget. The en gineer of the runaway and the operator stood on the platform, with mouths wide open, stai ing in astonishment at the van ishing engine. "As I passed them for an instant my heart stopped beating. Catching my breath, I turned to yell to the oierator, but he was too far behind. I turned and looked at No. 27. She seemed to be going faster and faster and faster. I look ed at Bill. His fitee was pale as death. "Our eves met, and he muttered No 1.' I nodded my head and turned away. My old horse was rolling from side to side. For an instant I stood aghast as I thought what would happen when No. 1 and the wild engine met I was startled uy a mumed voice : "ASy Uod, we must do it,' and turning saw Bill working away like a maniac at the furnace. "I eased np on the lever, pulled out the throttle to the last notch, and the iron horse seemed a thing of life s it leaped forward in answer. We could feel her pulse throb and beat, and her breath came snort and thick, as, like a thorough bred race horse, she strained every nerve and muscle to overtake that steaming, nying, tireless machine ahead. "Our faces were set and determined as we worked to save the lives of those on the fast train, which was thundering to its doom to certain death and destruct ion unless we stopped that engine. "Clifton. Gait's, Cresent Hill had been passed. On we thundered, gaining slow ly bat surely on the crary machine in front. "When we passed the operator on our mad ride he stood for some seconds talk ing with the deserted engineer, w hen, re-n-.embering No. 1, he rushed to his in strument She must be stopped at Anch orage. He dropped helplessly in the chair when the words came back . 'No.l Just pulled out' "We were going 60 miles an hour. What was to be done I did not know. 2Co. 1 was almost due. We lived a year in the nest few minutes. As we strug gled up the grade to Ormeby's we gained perceptibly on the flying runaway. "There is a long side tnu k there. I heard the whistle of No. 1 as she passed Lakeland, and my heart stood still. Three more minutes and we would see men and women crushed, mangled and scalded, nd probably burned. My God ! how I suffered and prayed for the help that came. A section gang were working near the switch. They had left it open. "When we were heard thundering along the boss started for the switch. As he reached it the runaway dashed into the switch. He turned it and we dash ed by on the main track. The wild en pine for an instant spun along on the wheels of one side, and I prayed that it might turn completely over. "My prayers were not answered. As it settled back we came abreast of it- Bill leaped for his and hundreds of other lives. It was a breathless moment He caught ith one hand to the handle of the cab and swung for one breathless second and then mounted into the cab. I leaked forward, and again my hair rose on end and my heart ceased to beat, for within a few hundred yards around the carve thundered the fast train. I revers ed my engine and waited. "She seemed to rise in the air like a spirited steed checked while at full speed by the cruel curb. Strapping to eo for ward, 6he swayed from side to side, the wheels spinning backward, while the momentum carried her forward. The fast train still came on. "Bill had reversed and his engine was tearing herself to pieces in a made effort to reach the main track but a short dis tance ahead. I breathed freer as my old favorite began to move for the engineer of the passenger had reversed. We still got nearer, but I was going so rapidly and the other so slowly when we touched that hardly a jar was felt "The runaway w as at a standstill a few feet from the switch, with Bill in a dead faint in the bottom of the cab. We got back to Louisville, and I was taken down with brain fever, from which I recovered after a long struggle. So ended my last experience with with engines." A Cure for Paralysis. Frank Cornelius, of Purcel, Ind. Ter, says: " I induced Mr. Pinaon, whose wife had paralysis in the face, to buy a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm. To their great surprise before the bottle had all been used she was a great deal better. Her face had been drawn to one side ; but the Pain Balm relieved all pain and soreness and the mouth assumed its nat ural shape." It is also a certain cure for rheumatism, lame back, sprains, swell ings and lameness. 50 cent bottles for tale. Death of Wild Animals The circumstances that attend the ill ness and death of wild animals are perhaps less well known than any other part of their history. Yet when we consider that animal life, though in some species of great duration, is naturally brief and liable to an infinite ol accidents withont remedy and sndden dangers unforeseen, the subject of the last days of the nobler sorts of boasts has a cetain pathetic inter est No doubt all animals, from the healthy and natural lives they lead have strange powers of self cure in case of acci dent Those whose profession it is to prepare the skeletons of wild beasts, large and saall, for museums and labor atories speak with surprise of the number of injuries and fractures weich the bones exhibit, but which have set themselves in a rough but effective fashion. Bui the "chapter of accidents" in animal life spares none, from the stags which die w ith horns locked together on the mountain side to the locosU which impale themselves upon the barbed wire of the Transvaal farms, or the cicales which rend their wings upon the thorns of the mimosa. Death violence seems to be the rule in the lower forms of animal life, except in the case of sudnen plagues or changes of season. Only to the largest qurdrupedslhas human fancy conceded the boon of a natural and perhaps pain less death, and the remote, untrodden jungie, w here the elephants go to die lies still among thej "undiscovered coun tries." London Sjed(itor. piiver Wendell Holmes. Dr. Edward Everett Hale's triubute to Dr. Holmes in the Boston Common wealth : Dr. Holmes has the pleasure of knowing what is thought of some of his work by the generations after that for which it was first written. It is Lard to think of a man, still as young as he is, born ouly seventeen years after Shelley. This generation is celebrating Shelley's centennial as if he belonged to the past But we all count Dr. Holmes as pre eminently belonging to our own time. The writer of these lines could not but notice, in a recent visit to England, how Dr. Holmes has attained there a form of success which in his lecture on Dr. Watts he spoke of as most desirable. To be the writer of the hymns of a great people makes a poet sure that his words are on the lips and in the hearts of thousands who know no poetry but hymns. He is loved and thanked, year after year, generation after generation, by thouands, in the ecd by millions, among whom are many w ho know no joy of literature but that it gives them their poetry on Sunday In the hymn books of the Church of England and of the Nonconformists, both of the evangelical and of the more bold communions, are the hymns of our own poet He has won that recognition in ail homes which he has described as a reward so grateful. He is one of us, here in Boston. He has mourned when we lamented ; he has led us in our joys. In the great trial of the Nation he was one of those who led the Nation. In our own home pleasures we meet Lim every day and rejoice in his health, as we ask for his smile and sym pathy. We would- Bring laurels and bays, if anybody had any.

I had stopped for the night at a house overlooking the Cumbeland River near ito source in Kentucky, and after supptr I had taken a seat on the front porch and was talking with the owner of the house, and my host temporarily. "Is the young lady who waited on the table your daughter?" I inquired after a shortland desltory colloquy on the crops. "Yes ; purty likely gal, ain't she?" he answered with a fatherly pride, "Very handsome, much more so than most ot the girls I have seen in this sec tion," I admitted frankly, Ha pulled his chair closer to mine in a confidential way. "Do you know much about gals?" he inquired, almost in a whisper. "Some little by observation. I've known a good many during a long and more or less eventful life in that respect "Did you notice anything out of the way about my gal ? "Not that I can recall." "Didn't notice that she w as kinder for gitful and awkerd ?" "No." "Ner quiet like, without much to say tonobdy?'' "I noticed she didn't talk much." "Her hain't," he corroborated, "for a week or two. Didn't etrike you that she had a wanderin' in her mind, did she?" "No." "Ner a bankerin' after something that wuzn't in sight ?" "No." "That's odd you didn't," he said, with a puzzled expression ; "ma and the old woman has been a noticin' it fer ten days or more." "What do yon think is the matter?" "We aint right sure," he whispered, "but the symptoms is powerful like she was going to be tuck down with the matirimony. There's the young fellow now," and he got np and went out to meet a straping young man who was hitching a horse at the gate. Detroit Frtt Pratt It Should Be In Every House. J. B.

With fizure swathed in white cloth and face covered with lather it was diifi cult to form a correct notion of the ap pearance of the man who occupied the fi rat chair in the corner bai bt r shop. To the most casual observer it was obvious that the man in the first chair was labor ing under intense excitement He was breathing in short gasps, his bosom hear ed under the white towels and his hands nervously clutched the cushion seat "Fine dav." The barber was whetting his razor and gazing vacantly into space. The bosom under the white towel betrayed new agi tation, but the man in tie first chair made no audible comment. "Going to the Exposition?" The convulsive twitching of facial mus cles was noticeable through the lather. The lips worked violently, but no sound escaped them. "How's your folks?" "See here." The man in the first chair Lad jerked himself into an upright position. "See here, I say." His manner was positively ferocious and the barber was transfixed with con sternation. "You've shaved me for twenty-five years, hain't you?" demanded the man. The barber gulped and nodded feebly. "Asked more than ten million ques tions in that time?" " Er I er guess.'' The barber stammered and looked un comfortable "Yes, you've asked as many as that In that time you have gradually drawn from me my entire family history eo far as I knew it, including the fact that my grandfather was Lung which I Lave kept from everybody else in the world. What, if I may ask, is your purpose in continuing your interrogations ? I'd like to know, if I may. what more you ex pect to learn ?" All the barber could do was to laugh in a sickly way and murmur incoherent ly, while the man in the first chair re sumed a recumbent posture. Detroit Fret I'rtM. Dairy and Creamery. "If the cow could talk we doubt not that she would be beard all over the land calling for an improved breed of dairymen," says Field and Farm. In every case some of the butter fat in milk is lost w hether the milk is skimmed or separated. Personal care and exact ness must be the factor to make this loss as small aj possible.

In spite of the best care and treatment, a milk cow persistently declines in health and flesh, it is a sign she has some ail ment and her milk is unfit for use. The price of beef cattle has not been what breeders hoped it would be. Why not try dairying and cheese and butter making for a change ? Old English Meadow. Probably there a.e no meadows in the world so good as those in England or so old. Yet from the early Anglo-Saxon times old meadow has been distinguished from "pastures" and Las always been scarce. Two-thirds of what is now es tablished meadow land still shows the a ark s of ridge and furrow, and from the great time required to make a meadow ten years at least on the best land, a hun dred on the worst men have always been reluctant to break up old pasture. The ancient meadows, with their great trees and close, rich turf, are the sole portion of the earth's surface which mod ern agriculture respects and leaves in peace. Hence the excellence of the meadows of England and the envy of the American. London Sdator. Days Chosen by Suicides. Years ago the great apostle of pessim ism noticed that June was the favorite month for marrying and committing sui cide. As he thought one was as bad as the other, it seems evident that he be lieves one cause would account for the frequency of both occurrences in "the month of leaves and roses." Whether such is the fact or not, it is certain that there are generally more suicides in June than during any other month of the year, and few of them are committed on rainy or what are known as dark and unpleasant days. The Fourth of July, Thanksgiving day, Christmas and New Year's day, as well as the evenings preceding themare alro favorite times for committing suicide. To these may be added the anniversary cf one's birth or marriage. Clucago Journal. Odds and Ends. Reform logins at home. If swallows fly lower than usual, ex pect rain.

A School-Room Champion. It was a pretty tough crowd of boys that attended the white schoolhcuse at Farnsworth Corners in the winter time. I was a fair sample, and I was such a bad boy that I had been sent away from home and placed in care of my uncle at the Corners because father couldn't man age me. By dint of repeated strappings Uncle George kept me in respectable bounds and got a good deal of work out of me around the farm. I must have been about fifteen years old the winter that Miss Angle Arnold came to teach in that district As I think of it now I realize that she must have been a pretty little thing w ith her big blue eyes and wavy brown hair. But we farmer boys had no regard for beauty, and the trouble we made that poor young thing was scandalous. She hd been ed ucated at a normal school somewhere :n the central part of Illinois, and, to tell the truth, she did go at us boys in a the oretical sort of way. The boys seemed to get the idea the first day of school that it would be an easy matter to run things that winter. The boys always had run the school, especially Rodney Blakesley, w hom we called "Rob" for short It wasn't many weeks before the poor girl had lost all control of the school, and Rob Blakesley was practically master of the situation. The only fellow among uswhodidoot seem enthusiastic over the fun was Newton Ellis. We called him "Newt" for short "Newt" had said once or twice that Le thought the boys were carrying the thing too far. One noon "Rob" slipped into the school room w hile Miss Arnold was out and wrote some lines on the blackboard that were decidedly out of place, to say the least. After school had been called Miss Arnold looked appealingly at "Rob" and asked him if be wrote the stuff on the board. There was no use in his denying it, for his long, scrawly band was unmistakea ble. "Yea," yelled "Rob." "I put it on the board, and ain't afraid of it, nuther." "Will you go and rob it out ?" "No, I won't" The little teacher sat down by her desk. She hid her face in her hands and burst into tears. Meanwhile no one had been taking no tice of "Newt" Ellis. His seat was on the last row back of Rod's." Instantly "Newt" jumped from his seat, took "Rod" by the collar and threw him onto the floor. Everybody in the room was ter.ified, for "Rod" Blakesley was the bully of the school. "Rod" got np quickly and ma'e for Newt" Newt was not as big as Rod, but be was w ell knit, and, to the surprise of us all, Rod got the worst of it He ran out of the door thoroughly whipped, and with the origin in Lis face of what turned out the next morning to be twp big black eyes. There was no more school that day and no more trouble the rest of the year. Rod's father took Lim out of school and set him to work on the farm. It wasn't the last we Lad to Lear of Newt Ellis. I guess it couldn't Lave been more than three years later that Newt and the little schoolteacher vrere married. That is the only romance Farnsworth Corner ev er bad. To-day Newton Ellis is number ed amonz the "well-fixed" farmers of that section. CJiirngo Tribune.
