There did not appear to be anything unusual about it to the car of the Star man, nnd ho asked in what way it dif fered from other signals. "Well, it was made in an open part of tho road, not near a town or cross ing, and was sort of mournful. There is a story that goes with that whistle. Tim Watson, the engineer of this train, ever since the night his engine crushed ont a life at that spot has made that signal when he goes by there. It was on a fojrgy night, as I have beard Jim say, and the headlight only showed a big white bank of mist which he couldn't seo through.

The feeling that there was something wrong could not be shaken off, and he cursed tho fog that shnt out the track ahead. "Suddenly a figure shot into the light.

The owner of the animal afteward sued the company for damages and Jim had to pay $23 for It.

WOMEN IN AUSTRIAN TBISONS. In Austria, a woman, no matter what she may do, is never regarded or treated quite as a criminal. She may rob, bnrn, kill set every law at de fiance, in fact, and break all the com mandments in turn without a fear ot ever being called upon to face the gal lows. She is not even sent to an ordi nary prison to do penance for her sins: the hardest fate that can befall her, indeed, is to be compelled to take np her abode for a time in a convent. There the treatment meted out to her is not so much justice seasoned with mercy as mercy reasoned, and none too well, with justice. Even in offi cial reports she is an "erring sister" one who has, it is true, strayed from the narrow path, but quite involun tarily. Cornhill Magazine. TRINCESS MAUD. I was talking the other day, said a writer in the Queen, to one of the Marlborough House officials, who has been a member of the Prince of Wales's household for many years, aud who gave me some not nuinteresting information in regard to the Princess Maud of Wales, the news of whose be trothal to one of the Danish Princes was reoently announced. Both she and hersister, Victoria, are gentle, cultured, unassuming girls, as unlike the traditional idea of royal Prin cesses in their manners as may well be conceived. Both of them shrink from the formal etiquette which at times they are compelled to follow, and they are never to happy as when on rare oc casions they are enabled to pass a few days, or even a few hours, incognito. It is only a week or two ago that I noticed them myself trotting about the Westminster Aquarium and gaz ing at all the eights therein to be seen, in company with their royal mother and a few members of the household, like any ordinary family of country cousins. Princess Maud has a weak ness for eollectingfourios, carved ivor ies in particular 'being her espeoial hobby. Of these she has already gath ered quite a largo collection. Like her sister, she is thoroughly domesti cated, and tho activo interest she has taken in the model dairy at Sandring ham has made her quite an expert butter maker. TWO BRIDES. New York in a day offers some in teresting contrasts. The day that the Vanderbilt wedding party rolled up to St. Thomas's with rustle of satins and flash of diamonds and perfume of flowers, and the bride with her Duke, with the pretty bridesmaids scatter ing blossoms in their path, came down the church aisle, and all of them rolled away in their coaches to the wedding breakfast with pomp and pageantry that same day auother procession was watched by a World reporter. Jt was also a bridal procession. The bride was dreased in white robes nd npou her broar there was the band of a holy order. She ro le with the bride groom Death in a plain, cheap coffin in n sable hearse. There were no flowers, no emblems. The single car riage that followed the hearie con tained four placid-faced nuns. A few passers stopped to watoh the little cortege as it crossed Broadway ; a cable car waited for the hearse to pass and dashed on in front of the car riage, aud then the cortege had passed out of sight, the peaceful bride to ward the far country.

For several years a woman has driven the Btage botween Mancolona and Bellaire, Mich. Sho handloi the reins as well as any man in that region, and has nover had trouble with stage robbers. The Princess of Wales is making a fight for demi-tnilet at the theatre.

"Work was a lit t lo slack, and I was feeling so bad that I concludoi to lay oft for a few days, and when I returnoil my place was tilled, so I've bwnout cvor since. I dou't care much, though. I've been gaining right along by mv rest and treatment. Last fall I went to a doctor who was recommended to mo us a good ono nnd with quilo a reputation. Ho gnvo me medicines of all kinds for nearly six weeks, and I got no bene fit that I could Bee. In fact, I don't believe he knows what Is tho manor with mo, A friend of mine called ono evening and told mo he ha I boon using 111 pans Tabules for a short time and ha I nover found any thing that helped bis stomach anil liver troubles as much as they did. Ho handed mo a circular about thorn, which I road, and oonoltidol that they were Just what I needed and would lit my case exactly. I dropped Pr. at once, wont ovqr to the drug store and got aSO-cont box of them, out of which I took two a day for awhile, and within throe lays noticed nnd felt much Improve ment. That was about the middle of December. Last February I got another small box ot the Tabules and took part of them only, as I was feeling so muoh bettor that I didn't think I needed any more. Tho rest of the box I gave to John 0 the other day. If I bad heard of them nt tho tlino I stopped work I could hnvo savod my doctor bill, and, better than all, probably kept right on with my work. But I do not be grudge the time lost nor tho doctor LIU, as 1 feel I am well paid for hav ing learned of the Tabules.
