TAMPERING
WITH A SIGNAL.
TVs were oiTthe platform at Kings
-row. The evening train for Aberdeen
was drawn up. ready for Its Journey.
"A fine train, sir," I said to a guard
f another later train, whom I knew
slightly.
"Aye, aye, sir. It Is a fine train, this
ane. But though I say it as shouldn't
It's not the train It was a year ago,
when we used to run up against the
London a ml Northwestern every night,
"Ob," said I, Interested at once, "no
fou were one of the guards In that
great race, were you? It must bare
been tremendously exciting."
Excitin?, sir! Why, I could tell you
a regular story about it, that night as
we ran from Kings Crows here to New
castle without a stop. That was some
thing like a run, wasn't It?"
"It was, indeed, and if It la not trou
bling you too much, I'd like to bear
your story Just while we are waiting to
see the train off."
"I was the guard of this train on this
particular uiglit. sir. Our usual course
was to run to York, without a stop,
then on to Berwick. Edinburgh, Dun
dee and Aberdeen. Three nights before,
though we had gone a large part of the
distance at eighty miles an hour, the
other company hud beaten us by Just
about five minutes.
"But this 'night all our officials not
only hoped, but had made all prepara
tions both for Inciting the London and
Nort Invest em. ami also breaking the
record.
"1 was sitting at home the day be

who might get nervou9 at the speed

anything of that sort? And there Is no

th. -re was a few nights ago at Darliug

" 'No. I think both contingencies are
very unlikely, the latter especially. Tha
only wt ard piece of this line Is that
betwn Arbroath and Montrose, where
we have only a single line to work ou.
That necessarily is ticklish, but it'll be
all right to-morrow night.'-
"Amid a storm of cheers from the
many spectators on the platform we set
out frotn Kings Cross here for Aber
deen. Our train consisted of the en

scarcely say with five coaches and the
guard's van.

Durham. As you know, we always felt

"All went well to Edinburgh, over

ou the piece of single line, we were
about tifteeu mluutes before our ex

"The tri'iil gradually blackened speed

taken to our repeated whistling, I was
about to go forward myself to the sig

when I saw the signalman waving a
white light. lie protested. In reply to
my angry query, that he had signaled
the line as being dear for the last half
hour, but I assured him that the signal
was against us.
"But though we dashed Into Aber
deen with much puffing of the engine
at lesst four minutes before our ap
pointed time, we were too late. That
miserable steppage on the single line
had killed us, and we found that the
Tiondon and Northwestern train had
beaten us by three minutes.
"There was. ef course, an Immediate
inquiry Into the cause of the delay, and
It was found en examination that the
signalman was not to blame, as the sig

Hence the signal would not work when
the lever was pulled.
"The signalman recollected having
seen a gentlemanly looking fellow

and taking a streU that way later li

"It was about a fortnight or so late,
that I received a letter from New

BABY SAVED BY LIGHTNINQ.

Lightning and blackberries come to

The people there, as a rule, are more

One exception to the rule exists there
to-day, however. In Mrs. Pennington,
of Plum Creek, who says that one time

the child was asleep, and the mother
resumed her berry picking. It was an

AN INTERESTING FAMILY.
The Jimsoit Weed and Ita Numerona
and Important Relatives.
The lowly Jimson weed belongs to
k family not only Interesting, but of
great Importance from an economic
point ef view. - The Jamestown weed
is only another species of the plant
from which the priests of Apollo made
a decoction to Induce that state of
ecstasy In keeping with the prophetic
character of their revelations. Tonga
Is a drink made from the seeds which
the Indians ef Darlen give to their chil
dren that they may discover the loca
tion of gold. Klondlkers might tske a
baby along and a few Jimson weed
seeds to make tea, and when the baby
has Its "dope" and falls down, there
daddy could dig. sure of a find.
Of conrse yon eat potatoes, which ar
const as of the Jimson weed, but yon
very likely eat them with or without
their Jackets, in salad, prepared as Sar
atoga chips er in other ways too nu
merous to mention, bnt It Is safe to say
that you never ate them preserved, and
yet that Is the way Parkinson, writing
la 1040. recommended that they be
cooked. He suggested that the tuber
be roasted, steeped In sugar or baked
frith marrow and spices. Her Is an
ppertunity for some enterprising chef
or housekeeper striving for originality

Yon probably eat tomatoes, too,

friend eats his with salt and calls them
plain tomaytoes. If you are partial to
vegetables the egg-plant, lOso a night

sweet-smelling masses of white i-nd

Once upon a lime a pair of robin?
ouilt their nest on a fence, and a pair of
catbirds (American thrushes that are
so called because their cry is like the
mewing of a cat) In a brush close by.
Ha by birds appeared in each nest about
the same time, and all went well for a
few days, when one morning t-ie par
ent catbirds were both missing, proba
bly slain. Their young would have
starved but for the robins. Whenevet
the robins lit on the rail with a worm
or other food the catbirds set up a
hungry squeak, and so the kind birds of
the redbreast di-terinlned to feed the
stranger fledglings as well as their own.
Both families were successfully reared,
the catbirds being so strong aud lively
that they looked as if they had been
brought up by their own parents.
Where Neddie Found Him.
Where was Baby? Neddie looked tin
ier all the sofas and Lawrence even
peeped Into the big tin cake box. You
see. Baby had only one little tooth in
his head, but that one was such a sweet
tooth.- And he had twice been known
to creep out into the pantry into tbe
rake box. But he wasn't there this
Mine. He didn't seem to be anywhere,
aud mamma began to get alarmed.
"Get tbe dinner bell, Ned," she snid,
"and ring it out the back door for papa
And, Lawrence, are you sure you hunt
ed In all tbe closets? There's the linen
closet, you know, and Bridget's closet.
"I looked in 'em all," Lawrence said,
despondently. "He Isn't anywhere. I
guess he's de-solved. He's sweet
enough to."
Papa came in and hunted, too. Out
doors and in they hunted, getting more
frightened all the time. Then Neddie
found him. He laughed till the two
anxious tears just crossing over the
bridge of his nose lost their balance and
tumbled down hill.
I said Neddie found Baby, but really
and truly It was only his little, soft
chamois shoes he found and part of twe
little, black-stockinged legs in tbem.
The rest of Baby was out of sight.
I':i pa's tall, square scrap basket In the
library was over on Its side, and Baby
bad crawled in and gone to sleep. How
mamma laughed when he was found!

Gems have diseases, just as men and
women have, with this difference, that
the Infirmities of precious stones can
rarely be cured. Some gems deterio
rate grow old. In other words snd
gradually become lifeless. Pearls are
most subject to this fate, and no means
have been found to restore them to life.
Among the Infirmities to which pre
cious stones are liable Is one common
to all colored stones that of fading or
losing color when long exposed to light.
The emerald, tbe sapphire, and the
ruby Buffer the least, their colors being
as nearly permanent as colors ran be,
yet experiments made a few years ago
In Paris and Berlin to determine the
deterioration of colored gems through
exposure showed that even these suf
fered, a ruby which had lain for two
years In a shop window being percepti
bly lighter In tint that its original

a pen made of small sticks about a foot

the noose wire. This noose-wire Is fas

Out on the raciflc coast there has

says the New York Herald. It Is not
under Government control, and Uncle

The Hospital and a Fearful
TTospitalsin greatcitiesare sad places to visit. Throe

Why should this be the case ?
Because they have neglected themselves! Women
as a rule attach too little importance to first symp
toms of a certain kind. If they have

even this too late. They comfort themselves with
the thought that they can replace their
