If you care to have ft rambling chat with me about the boys of the throttle, and hear of some queer and interesting adventures, drop su-ound to my room at the Grand Pacific and I'll tell you a few over a good cigar. Here we are, right side up with care. A way of landing that al ways pleases me, though I've done a little of the other style, too. Now, you needn't ask any questions, but I'll just tell my stories right along as I think of them. First, let me tell you a little something about engineers. They are obliged to be capable, but are not ex amined and given any documents to how that they are engineers. They rise up from "horsemen" to "stokers' then to firemen out on the road, and then become engineers. It Is custom ary also for most of them to work in engine-shops as apprentices for a while. Theee engines are variously repaired, frequently by being made over again as good as new. They work on lathes, forges, machines of all sorts, and the work on the engine itself teaches them all there Is to know about the parts of one of these locomotives. Then they learn about firing when stoking nbout the round-house, and learn to keep one as clean as a " wiper." They get to be " hostler," which means taking charge of the engine when brought in off the road. They turn them on the turn-tables and put them away in their stalls in the roundhouse after '.'drawing" their fires over the smoking ash pit Then they get out for short trip3 on the road as firemen, and finally push along, If smart and capable, to be engineers generally extras at first, but they soon get a regular engine. They frequently run on the road as a fireman for only a year or so before getting an engine, but generally it is from three to five years, and I have known men to go from eight to fifteen years and then not get any engine. Why? Well, sometimes because they can't become proficient, from lack of scientific or mechanical education, and frequently because they ore too excellent firemen to lose, and they are therefore paid as much as they would get as engineers and retained as firemen. Thus you see it takes time to learn the business." "Some," continued the engineer, " are on regular ' runs.' Others go out on freights in regular turn, or when needed, and are therefoje 'called' by some boy employed by the company for that purpose, lie is given a little book with ' calls' in and goes about night and day at all hours to different parts of the city, of course generally in the immediate vicinity of the roundhouse andShop, and he calls the men up. I have run steadily, seated In the hot cab, sharply watching the track ahead, for fifty-seven hours straight. There are even instances that beat that. Where they have a light, easy 'run,' whether night or day, they can make arrangements to fit "the time. When his engine is in the shop for repairs the engineer generally gets to'loal' about for a brief time. All sorts of people become engineers. I haveseen the son of a Itussian count, with greasy clothes and leathern trousers, sitting above the drivers as cheerily handling levers as though he was holding a golden knife snd fork in the Winter palace at fct. Petersburg. Then I have seen a minister who became a fireman to saye his life. He was told by his physician that ho would have tc do manual, outdoor 1 tbor of some sort or die. You bet 'he dropped' to the med,' and decided upon ' life on the rail.'. He says he won't go back to the pulpit again, and he is well and hearty us a roebuck. Then there are often finely educated men who adopt tho cab from choice or necessity. A three days' stare at grim old poverty generally sets them hustling. Then I know of a case on the Panhandle, "N ngHnsport division, where a woman bfc- ssfully ran an engine for nearly twirars before being found out. I'll tell you how it was. Let me see. " That was five years ago," said the engineer, wanning up, "an I was handling 70, an old residenter ' "" used to whistle so much like a Lu-,-saw when setting ilnwn to a pine-log inati nee that the other boys got to ealli ig her "Old r-a4-l).xr-an'.iiliad- Factory " She would wake up the Hooslers for ten miles each side of the track when running at night I re member a funny thinjr. connected wilh OldPestileDO?, as I called htm. I had a rollicking fireman named Jack Flaherty, now on the Burlington, I be lieve, and he used to be up to all sorts of deviltry. He managed to rig up a sort of "a slldlng-plug for the whistle valve and he could play Yankee Doodle, Home, Sweet Home and lots of other tunes by working the flue up and down. You've heard these steam calliopes? Well, it was on the same principle. We went into a town called lloodland one night, and Jack opened her wide, trying to let off a little sur plus steam anyway, and he gave 'em Yankee Doodle in the most paralyzing way you ever heard. Every one rushed out of their homes, and still we lay on the side track, me making up steam and Jack working the plug and rattling out the national tune in Theo dore Thomas style. But slack up here. Throw her over in the corner and let her pound along. If I ain't clean for getting what I was trying to tell you about this woman that came on the road as an engineer. I was handling Old Pestilence,' and was just stepping up into the cab at the roundhouse in Logansport, ready to hook on to an extra bound we3t I had knocked the cut plug out of my pipe for I never smoke on "the engine --when a young and very hand some fellow came up to me and says: Well, old Itoxie, how is the Panhandle. I want to catch on right away.' " En gineer?" Well, I should murmur. I just came off the " Punkin' Vine." ' That was the way the boys had labeled the old Logansport, Crawfordsvillo & Southwestern road in them days. You see, they used to fall behind on sched ule time, and keep losing, so the en gineers got suspended. It was hardly their fault, though. The track was fearf uL But when the engineer found out how late he was he used to open the throttle wide an skip across the cornfields when a big curve occurred, an' there were many of them, too. Thus they used to gain time for a mo ment Then when time was made they would push ahead. That's tho way it came to be styled the ' Punkin' Vine." "But I'm slipping away from my story of the young feller again. When he told me he wanted a 'run,' I hap pened to think I had heard Master Me chanic Clark speak of needing more engineers next week, an' I told the youth so. Well, he caught on, and got a regular stock run for awhile. " My, I can remember yet how he looked as be came down the first day to take out No. 82, another old-timer. He had on a fine suit ot broadcloth, but carried a Russia leather valise, with trim new overalls and jacket to put on over his clothes. His smooth face, black eyes, full red coral lips and short clipped hair attracted great at tention. He went at his work of making ready to take out his engine very de liberately and calmly. He was the nine days' wonder of the road for a while. This was partly from his al most feminine beauty and from the skill with which lie handled the engine given him. Matters went along in this shape for several weeks. Bill Schaeff er, as the new-comer styled himself, was out one beautiful June day at the other end of the line, bringing in a huge extra, which had a short handed crew aboard. A strange engineer had drifted into the roundhouse that morning; him out on a passenger run, as he claimed to know the road from having run there two years before. The regu lar man on the passenger run was sick. Well, the passenger met Bill's extra at L , half way over, and it was nearly G o'clock. There was a regular freight in one end of the side track, and Bill's train was trying to push its . nose in on a lot of box-cars on the track that seemed loose. The intention was to clear for the passenger. Bill, wanting exercise, I suppose from being cooped tip all day in the hot little cab, had gone ahead on the loose cars and was riding on top of the furthest one. He wai apparently not noticing anything, or attempting to set a brake on the car. The passenger engine with the new man was on the main track waiting to clear. The side track had bad down grade, sloping heavily toward the switch of the main track. Beyond this the latter had a terrible heavy grade west. Anything cut loose and started down this incline would be going at a little the liveliest speed yet teen before many yards had been passed. The grade extended for three miles straight away, when a curve was reached and a trestle-work bridge broke the monotony of the track. " Well, every one was looking back toward the east end of the switch to see if everything cLared. The engine of the regular freight stood in on the west end of the second side-track and parallel with the passenger engine, on ' which stood the strange engine st nt out that day. All at once there was a wild scream, and every one turned to see the box-car going at a lively rate of speed over the switch and out on the main track. The other cars had ;d brakes set by a brakeman, but the "ear with Bill on had been uncoupled und was going straight oq. Schaeffe' had not apparently noticed this until he saw tht car go across heswittkt. wi- i7n IT L i -i T . 1 ous of her causelessly, and had deserted while BUI was out, and had asked, onu ohicairo without anv exnlana. the strength of good references, f0tVaWt nm wnrlr - fr Clnrlr t nnM nnf P"""--"'' WAS IWO years beiore tU6 when be sprang to the brake, only to find it useless, there being a broken chain. At the same instant that he looked up very much scared, he saw the strange man in the cab of the pas senger engine. He screamed out, ' Save me, Charlie, save me," and then sank down on the top of the car. There was an exclamation, and the strange man bad jumped clear off his engine and ran across to the regular freight engine on the other track. It was only the work of a second to pull the pin of Its tender from the car, then he sprang into the cab, where only the fireman stood. Throwing open the throttle, he started 'down the side track, headed toward the fleeting car, some distance already away. A brake man, wlu had immediately grasped the situation, ran and threw open the switch, allowing the engine to speed on to the main track. The steam was put on and the fireman or dered to open her wide and coal up. Like a meteor she flew after the runa way car. On they swept, gaining rap idly; they were within twenty feet of the car when the engineer ordered the fireman to open her a little wider and then to hold her steady at that point Carefully the strange man, who had been recognized by Bill as Charlie, crept forward along the fostboard of the boiler until the cowcatcher was reached, when he lifted the long pin which always rests in the center of the pilot, and catching a firm hold on the standard he leaned out, waiting until the bar slipped into the bumper of the car, when he dextrously dropped the pin, that stood partly upright In the hole of the bumper, and then the car was fast to the locomotive. Both, however, were thundering along down the terrible grade, and fast approach ing the curve and the bridge. He then crawled back to the cab. In the mean time, with great nerve and sense, the fireman had commenced shutting off the steam, and giving the track (and. When the strange engineer clambered back the brake on the tender was tightly set. Then the lever was reversed and thrown over. This put the - engine in a back action, and gradually the speed Blackened until a final stop was tnade. The engineer then sprang out of his cab and hastily climbed on top of the box car. There safely lying on the walk which runs along the tops of all freight cars, one hand tightly clenching the brake-rod, which kept him from falling off, was Bill. He was in a dead faint. Then, pardner, occurred a queer scene. The strange engineer commenced tearing open Bill's clothin' and trying to bring him too, right there on the car. He worked away desperately, and just as he saw signs of life, he called out passionately, " Clara, my darling wife, speak to me I My God, she's dead 1" and the fireman saw that Bill Schaeffer was a woman. It was all explained then. She was brave enough to run an engine, and had been taught by her husband; but she could not faeu sudden danger, and, woman-like, had fainted. Charlie explained to the crowd who had followed the strange race down the track on another engine about the wonderful affair. It seems he had dearly loved his wife and had taken her along for three years on the engine with him as a fireman until she became as skilled as any. She al ways wore men's clothing when on the road and passed for his brother. But at one time he had become crazy jeal strange meeting, and he had drifted and wandered about since trying to find her and make his atonement She had also gone to work as an engineer, with a view of finding her husband. The boys gave the united couple a won derful reception when Logansport was reached, but the affair was kept out of the papers. It is now made public through the Herald for the first time you can say th.it Well, I'll come and tell you some more stories some day. Good-bye." Chiiayo Herald. Curious Superstition. Captain Andrew J. He3S died recently in San Francisco. Mr. Hess, whil a deputy sheriff, had been assigned to the duty' of death watcher " ol Sing Lum, a Chinaman condemned to death and who committed suicide in prison. Just before hanging himself Sing Lum wrote a letter in C hlnese tfl. one of the Chinese priests, in which hf said that he had been treated so kindlj by. Captain Hess, his watcher, that h intended to report him favorably t "Poo Sot," the Great Savior, who, h believed, would send to earth for Cap tain Hess also. The fact that Captaii Hess died suddenly of heart diseasi soon after the suicide of Sing Lum caused quite a sensation in San Fran cisco, and the followers of Coiituciut there fully believe that Sing Lum kepi his word, and that, as a result of hit intercession, the Great Savior actually pent the Angel of Death to call Sing Lum's American friend from thhf world. " Here, my friend," said the cashier, handing the customer a pile of silver dollars, " is your money J0. Count it, to be sure it is all right."

The "world is advancing, ad vance with it If we had no faults ourselves, we 3hould not tako pleasure in observing those of others. Ignorance is one of those infirmities that are insensible; and though it be ever so desperately sick, feels no pain or want of health. It is against human nature to believe any people will persist in wrong and cruelty if they are permitted to enjoy their natural rights. We ought not to look back, unless it is to derive useful lessons from past errors and for the purpose of profiting by dear-bought experience.

One of the English country towns which appears to have a death-rate that is rather high is consoled by the medical officer, who asserts that it would be still higher were it not for the smokiness of the town.

A table prepared by a French savant gives the following data on the growth of children: During the first year after birth the growth in stature is about seven and a half inches; from two to three it is four to five; from three to four an inch and a half; from four to six, two and a quarter inches annually; from seven to eight, two and a half; from eight to twelve, two inches; from twelve to thirteen, one and eight-tenths; from thirteen to fourteen, two and a quarter; fifteen to sixteen, two; sixteen to seventeen, nearly two. After this, though growth continues until twenty-one, and some times for years after, its rate dimin ishes. Increase in strides shows weak teas of constitution or imperfect uealth. Bad Medicine.

Corn flower and royal French blue, orange, flame and gold yellow, ox blood and cardinal red crop out in most of the new fabrics. The pepper-pod designs on the new sateens come in all stages of coloring assumed by the fruit of this plant., from the green pepper to the full rpd. New parasols of black satin, having one or two black Spanish lace flounces, are varied with single or double fringes of gold bullion between the lace falls. The new silks and satins that come in broche patterns show a prevalence of oriental harmonies of color, bright ened with flame, orange and mandarin yellow, in vanishing effects. Silver braiding and chinchilla fui are the trimmings for electric blue cloth suits. Silver buckles clasp the drapery of the polonaise; there is a neck-band and a half girdle of silver, and there are silver clasps for fastening the front. Plastrons or vests laid in folds or gathered in puffs, or made plain, are on most winter dresses. They are narrow at the top, widen out on the bust, and taper to a point below the waist, where they are trimmed with a large flat bunch of loops and ends of ribbon. Young ladies with low, well-shaped foreheads turn the hair back all around in loose waves, with here and there a curl; they may also wear side parting. If the hair grows prettily on the nape of the neck it is carried up high and wound around in Psyche form and fast ened by a small ornamental comb of Rhine stones or of shell. An Affection for Statues. . The statue, of Boger Williams,' in statuary hall of the capitol 'at Wash ington, writes a national capital cor respondent, has lost the finger of its right hand. It has been recently broken off. Very few persons have noticed the fracture. Supervising Architect Clark is aware of the fact, bu-t he pre serves a discreet silence. A sculptor in town haj a standing agreement to mend everything that happens to the statues. He makes a good thing when ever accidents occur. He was inspect ing the counterfeit presentment of Wil liams, recently, unl made a mental note of the missing finger. Shortly af terward a curious story was afloat. It related to the affectionate regard which an elderly lady, of odd habits, who keeps a curiosity stand in the corridor, has for the marble fingers of prominent men. It is said that she goes into statuary hall after Congress adjourns for the night, and bows and scrapes to them like a pagan to his idols. Abra ham Lincoln has a atrong attraction for her. Sho g"ts a stepladder, and kisses his marble face with all the ardor of a Juliet. As a result of this osculation, "Old Abe's" marble nose and lips have grown black, and require a dose of soda and sandpaper t.i re store them to their natural purity of expression. Ot late she has displayed an exalted affection for Hngor Wil liams. She has dusted him iu and out of season. In one of her dusting moods she struck the little linger re ferred to with the handle of the duster, and knocked it off. This is said to be the true explanation of the fact that Williams now has only four fingers on his right hand.

It is well known that the digestion 6f different kinds of meat is tho more easily effected the longer the time that transpires after the death of the ani mal. Tho explanation given is, that by keeping, the muscular libers become gradually dissociated; they soften, In come lees compact and consequently are more soluble in the gantric juice. According to physiologists, how ever, it is not considered advisable to wait un til decomposition sets in,, because, in addition to its losing a great part of Itsnutritiveqiialitie8,the meat becomes so nauseous that no amount of cooking or the addition of condiments will much improve it. MM. Pasteur and Lemaire, in an interesting paper sub mitted by them to the French Academy of Sciences, stated that meat too far advanced, or what is termed "fnisan dee," is most unwholesome, and it is a mistake committed daily by sportsmen to wait until the game gets into this condition, for it is then simply unlit to be eaten. The above-named biologists have shown that tainted meat contains animalcules, which do the work of transformation and destruction; and as it is ditlicult to ascertain exactly tho extent of putrefaction that tho meat has undergone, one is liable to consume it just at the moment when it should be rejected. M. Pasteur and other micrographers are of the opinion that these animalcules, of which there are no less than thirty species, are of the same nature as those that are found in living animals suffering from virulent maladies, such aa eharbcui, etc. l.an-
