A new street railway company in Detroit, which has just bogun to op cralo its linos, is obligod by tho con ditions of its frauohiso to sell eight tickets for twonty-fivo cents.. These tickets aro good only up to 8 p. ni., af ter which timo night tickets, sold nix for twenty-five cents, nro accoptod. The holder of a tiokot is entitled to general transfer privileges. Tho ooui-1-nuy's fruuobiso runs for thirty years, tho city reserving the right to pur chaso tho property at tbo end of that time. Tho English idea of speed has been bo often illustrated by somewhat dis concerting tbo examples of American progress in various departments of human endeavor, that it is not sur prising to tho Washington Star to learn from a London technical journal that it was considered a great feat for certain engineers to rep loco a seo tion of a great English railway bridge with new muteriuls inside of thirty days. Commenting on this declara tion tho Engineering Record, pub lished on this side, declares that American railway mauagors would have bad tho job done in a few hours and would have considered tbo loss of a day's traflio as inadmissible. Says tho New York Times : It would probably puzzle most people to tell, oil band, in what thapo tbo Arctio regions Lave supplied even a quarter of "tbo products worth $1,200,000, 000" which General Grcoly told the geographers assembled in London bad coino out of tbo frozen North during the past two ceuturios, and upon whieb he busod his appeal for a vigorous contiuuauoo of Arctio exploration. Voyages iu that direction are usually regarded as loading to frightful tragedies, rather than to any practical benefit for mankind. Tboso tragedies, indeed, have developed and served to display heroism novel surpassed and perhaps never equaled in other parts of tho world, but tbut cannot bo incasurod in money, valuable a pos session as it is, and, of course, doos not count iu the twelve hundred millions. First among the things that do, no doubt, aro tho whales, vast numbers of which have been captured in tho icy seas siuco the hardy ex plorers proved that those waters were not impassable; other Arctio products ure fossil ivory, the mineral cryolite, rieb in aluminium ; the furs of seals, bears, foxes aud a few other animals; small quantities of gold aud about there tho list begins to become diffi cult to lengthen, though specialists could probably continue it through a line or two more. Somo day tho North I'ole an object no loss, or more, worthy of respect than the equator will be added, but even tbeu tha enor mous sum mentioned by General Greely will seem quite beyond the average statistician's power to aoejuut for.

DOWN THE CHIMNEY, HI JAMES C. I-CllDI. SJ AGGIE MILLS camo f & out of tho woods M with her bunds full 3 of tho rrotty things M f fdio" had gathered there, aud ran sing ing across tho field. . Suo Murry saw her I' ' coming nud ran to J I tvief 1... w.iSl. l.nH npron full of dais ies. Then for a few minutes they were very busy compar ing and dividing their treasures. "Where's Tolly?" Maggie asked suddenly, remembering ber little sis ter, who ought to bo claiming her share in all this. "Why, fcho stayed in tbo woods with you." "No, she didn't; she went with you after tbo daisies." "I haven't seo her sinco I came out of the woods." "Neither havo I. Ob, dear I Folly ! Tolly Mills I Follyo-e-e !" The two girls begiuning to bo really frigbtonod now, dropped their flowers and hurried back among the trees. They ran this way and that, calling all tho timo to tho lost baby, but no answer camo to their calls. Tho region was wilil, tho woods reached fur over rocky hills and deep ravines, and lit tle l'olly was only four years old ; al together tho troublo was a pretty ser ious one. "Suo Murray, you run as fait as you can to tho village and find some men to come and bunt for my little sister. I'll Btay herd and look all through tho woods apd all over the field whilo yon are gono. Don't coma back without somo men I" Without a word Suo started away in prompt obedionco toward tho village. Sue ran on as fast as she could go, and Maggie resumed her almost hope less search. At first she ran back and forth through the woods, calling, but presently she realized that no good could oomo of that. Thon she sat down aud studied the situation. She bad a clear brain, and was fairly iu working order by this time. Sho could reason things out, and sho could form somo sort of plan for tho work that bad to be done. Recalling the time that Suo left her in tho woods and went out into tho field to gather daisies, sho was sure that little Tolly bad gone into the field also. She remembered hearing tho child call to Sue to wait for her, aud seeing ber run in that directiou. Tolly had not come back, and Maggie bad seen and heard nothing of bor since; the field, tberoforo, was the plaoe to look for ber. It was a rough place, as many of the fields about there. Like most of the land iu that rogiou, it belonged to "Tho Coapauy," and tho company made uso of it at present. All the valuable land was away in another direction, tbo mines at this side of tho village had been worked out aud abandoned so long ago that not many puoplo romcmbored anything about them. But Maggio thought nothing about mines or anything connected with mines; sbo thought only of her lost Bister, and of tho most likely place in whieb to look for ber. The only cluo that sho could think of ut first was tho daisies. Tolly bad gone there to pick . daisies, and when sha could not overtake Sue sho was likoly to go where tho daisies grew thickest. Over yonder, by that great clump of weeds and bushes, was a plauo thut looked like a snow drift, it was so thickly strewn by the pretty whito flowers. Maggio went there, and looked and culled and listened. Once she thought she beard au an swer to her calls, but it appeared she bad only disturbed a uicu.low lurk ut rest iu the clump of bushes. She was about leaving tbo plaoe when she made a littlu discovery she found somo plucked daisies lying scattered iu tho gruss. Somebody bad been there then 1 Was it Sue or was it Tolly? Sue had come to meet Maggio from an entirely different di rection ; it must have Leon Tolly thut picked those scattered flowers. Yes ! there amoug the fallen daisies was the crushed fern that Maggie bud given to the baby iu tho woods. Sue bad brought no fern out with her. Tolly bad boen here. But where was sho now? Maggie called again, aud only tho meadow lark answered licr; sbo searched among tho high grass, hop ing to find the tirod cbild asleep on tho gronud ; sbo wont closoand peered in nmong tbo thickly growing weeds and bushes of tho clump. It was a forbidding plnco in there; Tolly was enterprising but nho would hardly cliooso such a pluco'ns that to explore. Moro likely sho had followed on after Suo. Maggio went iu tho direction Suo bad coma from, calling as ebo went. She stopped running just in timo to savo herself from falling into a great, ragged hole iu tho grouud. A second look showed her that tbo holo was not very deep, but it was quite deep enough. At the bottom aud all about tho sides, wero fragments of rough and broken rock mingled with tho earth. It was evident that the grouud bad caved in thero, forming a danger ous trap for au incautious rambler. Maggie trembled to think what must havo happened if poor little Tolly had fallen iuto it. Very carefully sho cxamiuod tho edges and sides of tbo bole ; there was no signs that even a baby footstep Lad disturbod tbo ground thoro recently. Sho mado ber way cautiously down the side of tho opening, aud then she saw that tho holo was deoper than it seemed, ltocks and earth had choked it somo distance above tho bottom, but narrow openings hero and there revealed greater dopths below. It was not a safe place to stay, and Maggio climbed back to the solid grouud. "Tolly isn't in that pluco ; that's a comfort," sire said to herself. "Tho company ought to be sued for having such holes about for folks to tumble into!" That last thought brought anothor. It's tbo company's old inino, that's what it is I" sho cried out. "And this is a cave in. Tart of tho mine is down thero uuder tboso stoucs, aud I might have tumbled to tho bottom of it. Oh, supposo Tolly has fallen into it I" Tho only way to find out was to get in there aud search, but sho could not do that alone. The minute Sue brought thoso men thoy must find tho entrauce to tho mine and explore every nook and cranny of it. At thut moment sho heard tho samo faint cry that she had hoard back here among the daisies. It was fainter this timo and seemed to como from the dopths of that hole in the grouud. It was not tho note of a meadow lark ; how could sho ever havo thought that? It was the faint cry of a child I It was littlo Tolly calling, aud Tolly was somewhere close at baud t Heedless of all danger, Maggie clainborod down iuto tbo bole once more and began to toss about the stones that lay there. In a few sec onds sho bad moved enough of them to make au opening iuto the passage below. Peering down iuto this she saw that the passage appeared to lead Lack in the direction of tho patch of daisies. Tolly! Wbcro aro you, Tolly?" sho cried. Sho beard a faint answer, aud it seemed to como along the buried pas sago from tho direction of tho daisies. That clump of weeds and bushes beside tho daisies that was the possible hid ing place of tho mystery. It must be explorod at ouce. Maggio got safely out of tho holo and rau at full speed back along tho way that sho had late ly come. As she ran she heard another voice ; Suo bad como back aud was calling to ber from tho woods. "Here I am I Hero I Como quick all of you." Crying out tboso words a tho top of her voico, Maggie plunged out of sight into the heart of the clump of bushes. Sue bad beard her answer and came running out of tho woods, followed by two mon. Tho two ineu wero old aud decrepit, past their workiug primo ; but thoy wore tho only ones that Sue had boeu able to find. The others wero all away at their work in tho mines. Tho three new comers stopped aud looked about the field for Maggie. Her voico had sounded near, but now sho was nowhoro to bo eeeu. Suo called, but tbero was no answer. "Whoro iu the world can she have gono to?" Suo cried iu amazement. "I thought she was right hero 1" At thut iustaut thoy were all startled by hearing Maggie's voice ugaiu. It souuded farther away this time, aud was different from tho clear, ringing crv that they that they hu t tirst heard. ""That's Maggie," said Sue, "but sbo sounds underground ?" "Au' good reason sho have," Reuben Jcssup remarked solemuly. "For sho is uudergrouuu. Davnl, it s my belief as the two childers has somehow fell into tho old mine hereabout." "But she was right here ouly a min ute ago," Sue urged, iu great alarm. "How could sho full into a mine just iu a minute, that way?" "Koubeu'd right," said David. 'Tlicr's pits au' thcr's oave-ius au' tber's the chiiuuey. Tho chimuey's tho likeliest place eh, Reubou?" "She couldn't full iuto a chiiuuey without olimbiug up to tho top of it first, aud sho husu't ha 1 time for that. Aud besides, there isn't any chimney anywhere about hero." "Just the. shaft o' the old mine, child," Reubou explained. "Mou fell to calling it tho uUimuey after trampj set tiro to timbers iu the idle workiu's au' tho sinoko rose from tho shaft days aud nights. Whero would tho chiiu uey be, David? I've lost my beuriu's through all the changes that bus como over tho place." The tuo old men began to compare recollections, aud to recall one landmark after auother in the effort to locate "tho chimney," uud impatient Suo was driveu to distraction by their deliberatiou. Sho starteJ away from them, following an well us she could tho directiou of Maggie's cry. Tho cry was repeated, louder this time, followed by urgent words. Suo rau eagerly forward, followed by the two old men, who ulso heard the loud call. It was ft timely warning for Sue, Without it, iu tho darkness of the dismal placo sho bad onterod, she might have plungod headlong into the pit that yawnod almoHt under her foot. As it was sbo checked herself just in tiir.e to keep from falling. She hold on by ono of tho bushes and leaned over tho opening. Sho could soe nothing but darkness. "It's here," Roubeu declared, com ing to the odgo of tho clump. "I re member now, David. Tho chimney's here, an' not over yon whoro you would havo if." "For goodness sake, don't arguo any moro about the ohimnoy !" Site cried impatiently. "What differenco docs it make? Maggio and Tolly are dowu in this bole, whether it's the chimney or not. Now, how aro we going to get them out? That's the question." "No such has to, m," said old Rou ben, solemnly. "It's the chimney, sure euougb, tbey'vo fell into, au' ther's no way to got 'era from the bot tom o' thut but by diggin'. Rescue parties must be brought from the mines, Au' then I doubt if wo can got to them in time, poor things!" "Nonsense, Mr. Jossup!'' Tho words came with startling force and clearness from somewhere in the chimney, and they seemod not to como from tho bottom of it. The voice was Maggio's, aud it was strong and in good condition. "Just bring tho ladder from our house, that's all you need," Maggio went on. "The timbers and planks have fallen iu aud lodged crosswise, so as to make a sort of platform down hero. We're so far down that we can't climb ont without bolp, that's all. Neither of ns is hurt a bit. Hurry with the ladder, ploaso, for we don't find it pleasant bero !'' "If tho ladder will serve, thon we'll wasto no timo with laddors. " This was slew croaking old Rcubon. lie seemed to havo grown young aud active withiu tho minute. "Lay yourself down just tbero, David," ba commanded. "Tut one arm about tbo end o' that timber for steadiuess, an' hold bold fast to me with the other hand. So, I recollect now tho lay o' these timbers after they fell down the chimney. An you, lass," to Sue, "you stand by to take tha baby from my band when I lift her up thero." Holding fast by tho hand of bis old friend, the miner wont slowly down iuto tho darkness of tho pit. A mis ttep as bo put his foot now on one and then on another of tho fallen timbers, would have meant grave disaster to all of them ; but there was no misstep. And there was no loosening of the withered baud that held him. For tho rescue of tbo two imporiled chil dren, tho two old men were strong again with tho strength of their primo. They know, as Maggio nevor know, what peril tbcre was in every moment ou that rickety platform of rotton wood. Happily, as Maggio had said, tho platform was not for down. In a fow minutes old Reubou climbed a littlo way up agaiu, and delivered little Tolly iuto tho outstretched bands of waiting Sue. Next bo leaned far down aud caught tho uprcaching arms of Maggio. Ho pulled bor up to tho timber bo stood upon, aud from tbero sho nimbly mado ber way to safety without further help. Not too soon. Younger bands wero needed now for what bad to bo done. David's old baud was trembling piti fully, and Reuben's weight was heavier upon it than it ha 1 been. Maggio and Sue caught the hand of Roubeu and pullod with all thoir strength. Very slowly, aud with foet that bad lost all the firm confidence thoy so reoently bad, tho old mau camo again to tho top of the ohimuoy. "They say we'ro no moro fit for work, David," bo chuckled, foobly, as ba sunk down upon the grouud to rest. "It took but littlo timo to provo that a mistuk," David remarked, as ho sat down beside him. And tbo children sat with them aud held their hands until tho old mou were able to totter home.
