What Sixty Miles an Hour Means to the Locomotive. It all sounds simple in the re cital. The wonder of the thing comes into view only when one reflects on the speed and nicety with which cumbrous parts are made to do their duty. The pis ton and connecting bar of a mod ern locomotive weigh some (MX) pounds. When the speed is 00 miles an hour, these parts travel back and forth five timosasocoud. Ton times a second, at the end of every stroke, the piston head is at rest. It must pass from this condition to a velocity of 1,H(H) feet per minute in one-tweutieth of a second. The drive wheels meas ure more than a rod at every rev olution, but when going 00 miles an hour they must turn more than 3(H) times a minute. Sixty miles an hour is the mer est commonplace to the mind. of the up to date railroad man, but it menus other things besides those described that are wonder ful to the outsider. It means a steam pressure blow of L'O tons ou each piston head every tenth of a second. It means that up in the cab the fireman is throwing into the furnace two-thirds of a ton of coal every hour. No. !K() burns coal faster than ten men can mine it. It means two quarts of oil every hour to keep her journal boxes greased and everything running smoothly. It means the engine with its half dozen cars and load of human freight is mov ing through space with twice the power of a shot from a 100 ton gun. It means that the engineer work ed her up to the point where she can use every ounce of steam, that he is coaxing her as a jockey urges his mount in a tierce race, and yet it means that he is ready at a second's notice to move the reversing lever and apply the air brakes that will stop the mighty avalanche within the distance that it covers as it stands on the track. Earl W. Mayo in Aiuslee's, Your friends may not know much but they always know what they would do if they were in your place. The world did not come to an end, nor did the stars fall as pre dicted. Life is full of disappoint ments. The difference between a stan dard eucyclopodia and a walking encyclopedia is, that you can shut the standard up. In going up the ladder of fame you have to be careful not to be knocked olf by the other men who are coming down. If you want up-to-date wedding invitations come to the News of fice. The best material and la test styles of type. It is a delicious comfort to bo absolutely sure of what you like in literature and resolutely indif ferent to what otitL-r jM-ople like. Philanthropist a man who squeezes the last cent out of the people under him in order to make religious and charitable donations. This is the season of the year when it is customary to speak of the turkey as the national bird. We carefully refrain from doing so. Mamma, what would you do if that big vase in the parlor should get broken? asked Tommy. I should spank whoever did it, said Mrs. Banks, gazing severely at her little son. Well, then, you'd better begin to get up your muscle, said Tom my, coz papa's broken it. It is a fact that every baby is the sweetest baby in the world. You were once considered the sweetest thing in the world, al though you may not look it now. "Now stop crying, Tottie," said a Brooklyn mother to her little girl, whohad been quarreling with her brother. "I'm sure Bonnie will take back all the mean things he said." "Yes, he'll take 'em back," was the sob bing reply, "so's he'll just have 'em ready to use over again." The great detective paused. The horseless carriage contain ing the murderer passed hero just twenty minutes ago, he said. The other man looked astonished. But I see no wheel tracks, he cried. No, said the great detective, calmly, but if you'll sniff a little you'll get the odor of the kero sene. VERY DIFFERENT INDEED. Thanksgiving day always found Mr. Tawker in a reminiscent mood, and thisparticular Thanks giving day was noexception to the rule. So full, indeed, of reminis cent thoughts was he that he fail ed to notice the subdued air of ex citement about his wife. When the dinner bell at last rang he took his place dreamily at the ta ble. "Ah! this is very different from the old time Thauksgiviug days," he sighed; "really, it's enough to disgust a man with life. Why even the turkeys are smaller than they used to be when I was a boy down in Indiana! We had turkeys then; why, one of 'em would have tilled the middle of this table!" "But, Neezer, dear," his wife said his name wasEbenezer, and she culled him Neezer for short "your father's family was larger, too. A 17 pound turkey would be too much for two people. " "Ah, it's very well for you to ajiologizo; you haven't the same standards of comparison things naturally grow smaller in Del aware. Luckily, I don't com plain. Will you have some breast?" He laid down the carving knife with a resigned air. "Bring me the hoe," he said. "I suppose we have a hoe?" "Of course we hain't. What should we do with a hoe in a third Hat? Isn't the knife sharp?" "I can manage it: exercise is good for the appetite. However, divorces have ensued from slight er causes." She tried to smile. "Yes, I re member hearing my Uncle Tom say that dull knives caused sharp words. But I'm sure the turkey is fonder. Your mother said" "Mother never sawthisone. The conscience of the butcher isu't tender, if he says this bird is. What's the matter?" "Oh, Neezer, your mother sent it for a surprise!" Mr. Tawker gave a laugh like that of an amateur actor, "I or guessed that the turkey was from mother, and ah wanted to tease you a little. Yes, the turkey's all right, if I hud a knife such as my father had. I'll see the man that sold you this knife to-morrow; he'd cheat his grand mother, and I'll tell him so! What is it now?" "Oh, Neezer, I am so sorry! Your father stmt that carving set with the turkey; it's the one he always used, aud he sharpened it himself." "Eat your turkey, Sarah. How can a man enjoy his dinner, with you talking all the while? Yes, this is like old .times a real In diana turkey and a sharp knife to carve it with. Now, if only Sam Thompson was here, with his old fiddle. He used to come over on holidays and play 'The Suauee River' until you didn't want to go to Heaven unless Sam was there, too. Great guns, what's that?" "It's the people in tho ilat below- They expected company for dinner, and now I suppose they are having a little music." "You call that music, do you? Humph! some city musicians that know too much to play tunes." "Why, that's the 'The Suauee Iiiver' now, dear. Where are you going?" "For tho police. If a man can't have u quiet dinner at home without that that squawking, it is time!" He answered a knock at the door. It was the little boy from the flat below, saying: "Please, Mr. Tawker, pa says won't you aud Mrs. Tawker come dowu. Your old friend, Sam Thompson, from Indiana, is there with his fiddle, playing 'The Suanee Riv er' like he used to, aud ho knew you'd enjoy it." "Isn't there lots of kinds of doctors?" asked tho disciple of ehoeuupathy ; "there areallopaths and homeopaths, osteopaths and Yes," answered the dys peptic gloomily, "all paths lead but to tho grave. " , Lady "You oughtto beasham ed to admi,' that you can't find nnythingio do when tho papers say they want thousands of farm hands out west. " Sandy Pikes "arm hands? Why, I ain't got farm hands, lady. I'so got city hands." Mrs. Anna Carl, of Hancock, widow of Mr. D. A. Carl, receiv ed from Camp No: 18 P. O. S. of A. $275. This benefit is given to all widows of deceased members. MEN TO DOROKJII WORK. Dr. N. 0. SehaelTor, State Su perintendent of Public Instruc tion, iu an address before the Franklin County Teachers' Insti tute!, the other day, took occasion to say that "an estimated value of an uneducated man for forty years has been made at $IH,0()0; that of forty years of educated labor at 10,000. The farmer who keeps his boy at home to plow to save paying a plowman robs his boy of J each day." Commenting ou this statement, the Harrisburg Star Independent very justly aud thoughtfully re marks: "But if there were no plowboys where would the plow man come from. Again, it is certainly the exception to the rule when a farmer keeps his son away from school in order that he may save the wages of a plow man. The farmer boys who were educated in the short term schools of thirty years ago are among the most successful men iu public life to day. They did not acquire much tochuical learn ing, but they received a good common school education which enabled them to get sufficient book lore for reading. The pres ent long school term aud thorough curriculum tire certainly an ad vantage to the average farmer school boy, and surely we are not to understand that the farm er can withhold from his son any of that advantage under the pro vision of the compulsory educa tion act. If the latter be the case, that act is a failure and a dead letter ou the statute book." This leads to the thought, somewhat disappointing iu its way, that progress anil civiliza tion depend upon the inequalities of life. If all men were capable of lecturing before teachers' in stitutes, or on liquid air, who would hold the plow handle, shoe our horse, cobble our shoes or dig our ditches? If all men were rich no one would be willing to work, and we would go back to barbarism. Hence it seems the very constitution of thiugs rec ognizes the necessity of inequal ity iu life, so that there will bo that mutual dependence one upon the other which create a common love. This does not mean that the masses cannot be educated without detriment, but rather that the dignity of labor the rough work of the world should be upheld. All men cannot be made rich, but we should strive for that equity which gives a man the real value of his labor iu other words, reward him for his merits aud punish him according to his demerits. Ability is some thing nature bestows capricious ly, and so there will bo inequali ties in life; but at the same time education, instead of fostering conceit, dudeism and kid gloves, should recognize that the man who digs the sewer is just as hon orable in his walk of life as the surgeon who gets a big fee for cutting out the vermiform iip2en-dix. Tho maddest man in Piatt county, Neb., lives at Humphrey. He attended a social, and during the evening the ladies inaugurat ed a hugging bee, the proceeds to go to the Sunday school. Prices were graded according to the person hugged. For in stance, for huggiug a young, in experienced girl the bidder had to give 10 cents, married women brought 15 cents aud widows a quarter. Well, the man was blindfolded and, giving up 15 cents, he said he would take a married woman. After he had hugged 15 cents' worth the bandage was removed from his eyes, and lo aud behold he had been huggiug his own wife! Then he kicked and want ed his 15 cents back. The First Train. Never eat soft bread for break fast if there is a crust of hard bis cuit in the house. New bread that often looks Huffy and light is like so much lead when it reaches tho stomach. Aud that is why half the world is so stupid and cross in the morning. If fresh bread must bo eaten, put itin tho oven or on u toasting gridle before serving, and give the family the benefit of the carbon and the teeth something to do. Sixty-two' years ago last Thurs day November 1(5, 1 )) says the Shipponsburg Chronicle, the first train from Harrisburg to Chatn bersburg crossed the Cumber land Valley bridge at Bridgeport. The train left Harrisburg at 10.00 a. m., arriving iu Chiimbersburg ntil.OOp. m. The party left Cham bersburg at 10.00 p. in. and arriv ed in Harrisburg at (i.00 tho fol lowing morning eight hours in goiug til'ty-two miles. The same distance can now bo covered in less than one hour. ooooooooooco FALL AND WINTER. Citizens in the neighborhood of Snow Shoe, Centre county, are earnestly considering the advisa bility of organizing vigilance com mittees. Cattle and other live stock have boon stolen iu such numbers that the owners have come to the conclusion that an ex ample must be made of some of the thieves. Wh i lo ou t h u u t i ug for deer a bou t fifteen miles from Lewisburg, Tuesday, Frank Blair, of MifMin burg, was shot by his companion and will probably dieof thee'.Tects. While Blair was walking through some brush his companion saw the brush shake, and, taking him for a deer, he tired a load of buck shot, the most of which lodged in his liver. Frank, son of James Hays, liv ing a mile south of Shipponsburg was seriously hurt Friday morn ing. A log rolled off a wagon upon his head and tore uearly all his scalp off besides badly injur ing him otherwise. Farmer Jones (to a tramp whom he finds iu his hayfield) "What you been sleepin' ou out here till night?" Weary Walter "Hay!" Farmer Jones "I ast you what you been sleepin' on." Weary Walter "Well, I tole you once. Now go away, an' don't disturb me beauty sleep. " Hunters must not forget, that it is unlawful for tiny person to hunt with gun, dog or net uxm the grouuds or lands of another without first obtain ingper mission from the owner. The fine is not less than 11 and not exceeding 100. I t may save trouble by first obtaining permission to hunt. The American women have tho smallest hands in the world. Gloves made iu Franco for tho American market are smaller and narrower than any oilier in the world, and the lingers are made more slender, as American wom en will discover who have to buy a pair of gloves in any provincial city in EurojMi. Probably no American woman with a hand, which excites no remark here, has traveled long abroad without discovering that it in only large shops iu big cities which keep gloves small enough for her, and a lady with a hand just below the American average, living in one of the largest cities iu eastern Eu rope, recently fouud herself forc ed to send to New York regularly for her gloves. It is idleness that makes the hands small, work en larges them. We do not want to be understood to say that the American women are the laziest in the world. 18 18 8 18. . 8 g 8 It is not too early to announce your spring sale in our sale reg ister.
