Secretary Carliele'reports that 121,143 were kiUed'by polagio sealers last year.

It is strange that the two greatest Govern ments in the world canuot protoct the seals. Possibly there is some reason not apparent on tho surfaoe why thin is so. Dr. Chanucoy M. Depew in a recent interviow in predicting 1895's pro gress in railroading, very pertinently stated : "Take, for instance, the New :Yrk ' Central Railroad. Our trains might almost be termed flashes of lightning, but their rate is not a cir cumstance to the speed we are now aiming at. Then there is the matter of safety. I need not assure you that the safety of passengers is the most important thing a railroad man has to with. This ooining year we expect to attain what some people may consider a chimera namely, perfeot freedom from risk in the transportation of hu man beings by rail. We have, we be lievo, solved tho problem, and that, I should say,- will make 1895 an tin equaled year in railroading. In the fur as in the near future, romantio things are done, or are being pro jected. A tunnel to the summit of the Jungfrau is one of the things pos sible. The Traus-Siberiau Railway end the South African line to Mashon aland are two projects ou the edge of the future the former already under way and the poetry of railroading will be experienced in the new rush of railroad building certain to ensue in Japan when the Chinese war indemnity is paid which will cerUiu'j happen U 1895."

Holt, In Philadelphia American. OLD EIGHTY-SIX. PPBESSED with a heavy sense of woe, John Stag' gart stood in a dark cor' ner of the tor minus, out of the rays of the gl itt ering aro iompB, and watched engine N o 88. The en ffinoer wan oiling bcr, and the fireman, as he opened the furnace door and shoveled in the coal, stood out like a red Rem brandt picture in the cab against the darkness beyond. As the engineer, with his oil can, went carefully artfifiTa engine No. 8fl, John Saggart drew his siueves across nis eyes, ana a arum came np in his throat. He knew every juuii anu ooii in mat contrary old - ?, Jreantrg iron brute on the road, and yet, if rightly managed, one of the swiftest and most powerful engines tho oompany had, notwithstanding tho many improve--raonts that had been put npon locomo tives since 86 left the foundry. - Saggart, as he stood there, thought of the seven srimAlrl,fin tho footboard of old 80, and of the many tricks she had played him dnr- I Ing that rSeiioi If, as the poet says, um uuhiub auu me prisoner be come friends through long associa tion, it may be imagined how much of a man's affection goes out to a machine that he thoroughly under stands and . likaa a machine that is his daily oompanion for years, in danger and out of it. No. 86 and John had been in many a close pinch together, and at this moment Saggart seemed to have forgottou that often the pinch was caused by the pure cuss ed ness of 86 herself, and he remem bered only that she had bravely done her part several times when the situa tion was oxoeedingly serious. The cry of "All aboard I" rang out and was echoed down from the high arched roof of the great terminus, and John, with a sigh, turned from his contemplation of the engine and went to take his place on the train. It was a long train, with many sleeping cars at the end of it, for the heavy holidoy tratllo was on, and people were getting out of town by the hundred. The engineer had put away his oil can and had taken his plaoe on the engine, standing ready to begiu the tong journey tho moment the signal was given. John Saggart climbed into the smoking carriage at the front part of the train. He found a plaoe in one of the forward seats and he sank down into it with a vaguo feeling of nneasi ness at being inside a ooaoh instead of on the engine. Ho gazed out of the window and saw the glittering electrio lights slowly slide behind, then more quickly the red, green and white lights of the station lamps, and finally there flickered swiftly past the brill iant constellation of city windows, showing that the town had not yet gone to bed. At last the flying train plunged into the dark, aud Saggart pressed his face agaiust the cold glass of the window, unable to shake off his feeling of responsibility, although he knew that there was auother mau at throttle. He was aroused from his reverie by a touch on his shoulder and a curt re quest, "Tickets, please." Ho pulled out of his pocket a pass and turned to hand it to the conduct or, who stood there with a glittering pluted and crystal lantern on his arm. "Hollo, Johu, is this you?" cried the conductor as soon as he saw the face turned toward him. "Hang it, man, you didn't need a pass traveling with me." "I know it,"said the engineer, "but they gave it to mo to take me home, und I may as well use it as not. I don't waut to get you into trouble." "Oh, I'd risk the trouble," aid the conductor, plaoing the lamp on the floor and taking his seat beside the engineer. "I hoard about your worry to-day. It's too oussod bad. If a uiuu had got drunk at his post, as you aud I have known 'em to do, it wouldn't have seemed so hard, but nt its worst your case was only an error of judgment, and then nothing really happened. Old 86 seems to have the habit of pulling herself through. I suppose you and she have been in worse fixes than that with not a word aid about it." "Oh, yes," mid John. "We've been in many a tight plaoe together, bnt we won't be any more. It's tough, as you say. I've been fifteen years with the company and seven on old 86, and at first it oomes mighty aard. But I suppose I'll get used to it." "Look here, John," said tho con ductor, lowering his voioe to a con fidential tone, "the President of the road is with us to-night. ' His private car is tho last but one on tho train. How would it do to speak to him? If you're afraid to tackle him I'll put in a word for you iu a minuto and tell him your side of tho story." Johu Saggart shook his head. "It wouldn't do," he said, "ne wonldn't overrnlo what one of his sub ordinates had done, unless there was serious injustice in the caso. It's the new manager, you krow. There's always trouble with a new manager. He sweeps clean. And I suppose he thinks by bouncing one of the oldest engineers on tho road he'll scare the rest." "Well, I don't think mnch of him, Dotwcen ourselves, said the oouduo tor. "What do you think he has done to night? He's put a new man on 86 a man from ono of the branch lines, who doeBn't know the road. 1 doubt if he's ever been over the main line bofore. Now it's an anxious time for me, with all the holiday traffio moving. with the thermometer at zero, and the rails like glass, and I like to have man in front that I can depend on." "It's bad enough not to know the road," said John, gloomily, "but it's worse not to know old 86. She's a brute if she takes a notion." "I don't supposo there's anothor engine that could draw this tram and keep her time." "No. She'll do her work all right ll you 11 Humor her," admitted Stag gart, who could not conceal his love for the engine, oven while he blamed her. "Well," said the conduotor, rising and pictting np his lantern, "the man in front may be all right, bnt I would feel safer if you wore further ahead on this train than the smoker. I'm sorry I can t otter yon a berth to-night. John, but we're full clear through to tne rear Jignts. I here isn t even a vacant npper on the tram. "Oh, it doesn't matter," said Sac gart. "I couldn't sleep anyhow. I'd rather sit here and look out of the window." "Well, so long," said the conduct or. "I'll drop in and see you as the night passes on." Saggart lit his pipe and gazed out into the darkness. He knew every inch of the road all the up-grades and the down-grades and the levels. He knew it even better in the darkest night than in the clearest day. Oc casionally the black balk of a barn or a clump of trees snowed for one mo ment against the less black sky, and Saggart would say to himself : "Now he should shut off an inoh of steam I" or, "Now ho should throw her wide open." Ihe train made fow stops, but he saw that they were losing time 86 was sulking, very likely. The thought of the engine turned his mind to his own fate. No mau was of very much uso in the world, after all, for the moment he stops down another is ready to stand in his place. The wise men in the ciry who had listened to his dofense knew so well that an en gine was merely a combination of iron, steel and brass, and that a given num ber of pounds of steam would get it over a given number of miles in a given number, ot hours, hfld -smiled incredulously "whe he Void them that an engine had her tantrums, and that sometimes she had to be coddled up like any other female, apd that even when 'a man did his best there were oocasions when nothing he could do would mollify her, and then there was sure to be trouble, although John had addod. in his desire to be fair, that she was always sorry for it afterward, which remark, to his confusion, had turned the smile into a laugh. lie wondered what 86 thought of the new mau. Not much, evidently. for she was losing time which she had no business to do on that seotion of tho road. Still, it might be the fault of the new man not knowing when to push, her for all she was worth and when to ease up. All these things go to the making up of time. Still, it was more than likely that old 86, like Gilpin's horso, was wondering more and more what thing upon her baok had got. "He'll have trouble," mut tered Johu to himself, "when she finds out. " The conductor came in again and sat down beside the engineer. He said nothing, but snt there sorting out his tickets, while Saggart gazed out of the window. Suddenly the engi neer sprang to his feet with his eyes wide open. The train was swaying from side to fiiilo. and going at ereat speed. Ihe conduotor looked up with a smile. "Old 86," he said, "is- evidontly goiug to make up for lost time, " "oho should bo slowing down on crossing tho Q. andM. lino," answered the engineer, "flood heavens I" he cried a moment after. "We've gone across tho O. and M. track on the keen jump." ' .' the couuuotor sprang to his feet. He knew the seriousness of such a thiui. Even the fastest expresses must stop dead before crossing ou tho level the line of another railwuy. It is tho law. "Doesn't that jay in front know enough to stop at a crossing ?" "It isn't that," said Saggert. "He knows all right; even tbe train boys know thut. OU 86 has taken the bit between her teeth ; he oau't stop her. nere do you pans No. C to-night? At l olutiville. "Thut's six miles ahead. In five minutes ut this rate we will be run ning on her time and her track. She's alwuys late, and won't be on tht tide truck. I mutt 6t to BO." Saggart quickly made bis way through the baggage oar, climbed on the express car and jumped on the coal of the tender. lie cast his eye up the track and saw glimmering in the distanoe, like a faint, wavering star, the headlight of No. C. Look ing down in the cab he took in the situation at a glance. The eugineer, with fear in his face and beads of pernpiration on his brow, was throw ing his whole weight on the lever, the fireman helping him. John leaped down to the floor of the cab. "Stand aside," Be shouted, and thero was such a ring of oonfident command in his voioe that both men instantly obeyed. Saggart grasped the lever, and, in stead of trying to shut off the steam, flung it wide open. No. 86 gave a quiver and a jump forward. "You old fiend," muttered Johnbe tweon his clinched teeth. Then he pushed the lever home, and it slid into place as if there never had been any impediment. The steam was shut off, but thelightsof Pointsville flashed past them, with the empty side track on the left, and they were now flying along the single line of rails, with the headlight of No. 6. growing brighter and brighter in front of them. "Reverse her I Reverse her 1" cried the other enginoer, with a tremor of fear in his voioe. "R9verse nothing," said Saggart. "She'll slide ton miles if you do. Jump if you are afraid." The man from the branch line jumped promptly. "Save yourself," said Saggart to tbe fireman. "There's bound to be smash." "I'll stick by. you, Mr. Saggart," said the fireman, who know him. But his hand trembled. Tbe airbrake was grinding thalong train and sending a shiver of fear through every timber, bnt the rails were slippery with the frost and the train was still going very fast At the right moment John reversed the engine, and the sparks flew from her great drivers like a Catharine wheel. "Braoo yourself," cried Saggart. "No. 6 is backing np, thank God I" Next instant the crash came. Two headlights and two cowcatchers went to flinders, and the two trains stood there with hornb locked, but with-no great damage done except a shaking np for a lot of a panio stricken passen gers. The bnrly engineer of No. 6 jumped down and came forward, his mouth full of oaths. "What do you mean, running on our time like this? Hello, is that you, Saggart? I thought there was a new man on to-night. I did a t expeot this from you." "It's all right, Billy. Xt wasn't the new man's fault. He's back in the ditch with a broken leg, I should say, from the way he jumped. Old 86 is to blame. She got on the rampage took advantage of the greenhorn. The conductor came running np. "How is it?" he cried. "It's all right. No. 86 got her nose broke, and served her right, that s all. Tell the passengers there's no danger and get 'em on board. WVre going to baok up to irointsville. Better send the brakeman to pick up the other en gineer. The ground s hard to-night, and he may be hurt." "1 m going back to talk to tho Pres ident, said tho conductor, emphati cally. "He's in a condition of mind to listen to reason, judging from the glimpse I got of his face at tbe door of his oar a moment ago. Either he re instates you, or I go gathering tickets on a street oar. This kind of thing is too exciting for my nerves. - The conduotor s interview with the President of the road was apparently satisfactory, for old N j. 86 is trying to lead a better life under the guid ance of John Saggart. Detroit Free Press. Potatoes as Penholders. "It is surprising," saya a commer cial traveler, "how general the use of potatoos as penholders is becoming in hotels. I have seen them iu use in great hostelriei of the East, whose owners wouldn't hesitate for a moment to spend $10 for a desk ornament to hold pens nsed by tho guests in reg istering. The mixture of starch, glu cose and water iu the potato seems well adapted to take up the impuri ties of ink, and to keep the pen-point clear and bright, whilo tho alkaloid of the potato, known as solauine, doubtless has something to do with it in the same line. These elements readily take up the teunate of iron, which is the body substance of ink. Chemioally speaking, starch is the first base of a potato, and su -ar or gluoose is its second base. Thus is the humble potato finding auother way in which to serve the use of man kind.
