DEATH'S RED LIGHT.
It Was Waved at an Engineer, IW token
ing Hia Mather's Demise.
"The moot peculiar cane I ever benrd
of," said a telegraph, operator, "occur
red in our family. My father wns an
engineer on tho Chesapeake and Ohio
railroad, running into Richmond. Ono
night whilo qnito a diKtunco from tin

bright red light on tho track several
hundred yards ahead. Tho signal was

and tinted that tliu tiino whs 8 o'clock.
Tho train pulled out, proceeding cau
tiously for somo distance without
meeting any obstruction, rioveral miles
further tho light was aguiu seen.
Once more stopping, another search was
made, with no more buccchs thuu before.
This happoned at 8:88. father wus nev

tho way, only to bo stopped a third time
by tho red light at 8:61 o'clock. Anoth
er search by tho crew failed to disclnso
the slightest trace of the mystorious sig
nalman. Finally, giving np the search,
tho men returned to their posts, and the
train at last polled tip into Richmond
without further mishap.

that a tolcgram hud been sent to him

time at which father bad seen tho mys

pressed on his memory, and ho learned
upon inquiry that at precisely the min

"Whom do you rank as tho first of
modern English prose writers?" asked
Mr. Fronde us we were strolling one aft
ernoon in Chelsea. Had Lord Tennyson
suddenly demanded to know whom 1
thought to be the greatest poet of the
day 1 could not have been more dum
founded. Noting my hesitation and per
haps guessing its cause, Mr. Froudo
quickly added: "Ah 1 1 naturally thought
you wonld say Raskin, who is certainly
a master of doscriptive writing, at his
best exquisite, Newman, too and Mat
thew Arnold in a lesser degree), had lu
cidity and the gift of irony, bnt looked
glow and color. To me he is al ways cold.
My own favorite is Charles Lamb."
Seeing that I was greatly interested,
be 'went on to point out the beauties of
"Dream Children" and then quoted the
lovely passage in "The New Year's
Eve" beginning, "And yoa, my mad
night darlings, my Folios. " That, he
aid, was the high water mark of modern
English prose, equal to anything of die
seventeenth century, "the English ma
pure and beautiful as that of the lltssgy
itself."
Mr. Froude was a great admuwr of
BretHarte. "Tennessee's Parduer" and
"The Luck of Roaring Camp" be sued
to declare were of the immortals. When
I once said I feared that Mr. Bret Harte
was no longer the fashion, Froude mere
ly replied, "So muoh the worse for the
fashion. " In this appreciation of the
American story teller, as well as ia bis
affection for Charles Lamb and his re

In her masculinity as the other. The

All unconscious of tbo interest they In
spired, the two buried themselves In

GRIZZLY WHIPPED BY A COW.
Bossy Roused to Terrible Rag In Ileft-nM
of Her Offspring.
"Usually a cow docs not stand much
chanco when Bhe engages in a baud ic
hand conflict with a grizzly bear, " said
Michael Aycrs, a Colorado stockmun, tc
a writer for Dumb Animals, "but several
years ago one of my cows killed ono ol
these animals and came out of tho strug
gle withont a Bcrtch. The cow bad re
cently given birth to a calf It being
bor firstborn, the mother was exceed
ingly vicious, and it was uusafo for n
strangor to approach her, as her horns
wcro long and pointed. Tho cattlo shed
bad a thatched roof and was scooped
out of tho hillsido a short distanoo from
tho bouse.
"One night a bear, havingsmelled the
preseuoeof a cow and calf, mounted the
roof of tbe shed and proceeded to force
an entrance by scratching through the
thatch. Tbo oow at the same tiino de
tected the presence of the bear and held
herself in readiness to receive tho in
truder. Tbe noise of a terrible struggle
aroused me, and grabbing a lantern 1
rushed from tbe bouse, and opening tbe
shed door found the oow in a frantic
state, bunting and tossing to and frc
some large object, which evidently had
lost all power of resistance,
"It turned out to be a good sized griz
sly, which bad been run through and
through tbe body tjy tbe oourageoni
mother. The little oalf was nestled in a
corner, sleeping peacefully, and seemed
unmindful of tbe eoaternal struggle. I
suppose that as soon as the bear gained
an entrance through tbe roof it war
pinned to tbe ground by the oow's horni
before it had time to do any damage. "

Iufluito tiino is difficult to grasp. Dis
tance is moro easily understood, and
some things which Sir Robert Ball Um
to say about tho distanco of tho stars
from us will assist us in comparing
them to tha sun. Of these tho most
striking is Arctnrus, and Dr. Elkiu bus
put this Btar at such a distance from tho
solar systom that tho orbit of tho earth
round tbe sun must seem from Aroturue
as largo as would a penny piece seen
at 100 miles. Arcturus, in other words,
is perhaps a dozen times as fur oft from
us as Procyon is, nnd Prooyon, one o!
the nearest bright stars, is 1,000,000
times the distance of the sun from us.
But the marvelous thing about Arc
turns is its movement. It bos, compara
tively speaking, a very distinct "proper
motion" across tho sky, though not as
large at some stars. Lately, howovt r,
the spectroscope has asoertainod for us
tbe pace of stars along tho lino of sight,
and Arcturus travels, it is now believed,
at the rate of 880 milos a second. Such
! speed as thia is truly terrific, and we
I may well ask where this furious star it
hurrying to. As Arcturus, ten genera
tions hence, will not have moved to the
eye by at much as tbe diameter of the
moon, we shall have plenty of opportu
nity of discussing the question. Lou

ing as a party man. You know, be
never forgave hia old friend, Presideu:
Arthur, for considering bis candidacy
for oonsnl general at London a joke
Well, when Blaine came baok from
Europe, and there was a great hnllu
baloo about tbe uncrowned king, tho
boys sent Billy a formal letter from the
committee of arrangements appointing
hint ohairman of the subcommittee oi
reception on behalf of the actors, artists
and auctioneers requesting bia check
for $50 and bis presence ou the steamer
Sloan at 6 o'clock in the morning to go
down and welcome Blaine. Billy bit
slowly, but finally swallowed the bait,
hook and all. He seut bis check for f 50
to the designated person, and not until
three days after, when he bad eaten a
dinner given bim by the boys who pat
np tbo joke on bim and paid for with
bis own $50, did he find out bow be hud
been fooled. His only oousolation war
that he got np too late to be on the

KENILWORTH IVY
tf Van Want the Real Thing, Never Ue to
Kenltworth Castle lor It.
" 'Could 1 get somo slips of Keuil
worth ivy imywhero about tho ruins;' I
heard a woman nsk of tho lodgeknepur
at Kenilwortli castlo ono day, " said o
traveler.
" 'Yon nro uu American, tircn't you,
madinni" nsl:ed tho keeper, with a smile,
"'Why, yes, but what of that?' re
sponded tho lady, with somo slight em
barrassment. " 'All American ladles come and ask
me for Kenilwortli ivy after they have
searched in ovory nook and corner of
the ruins for it, ' explained the keeper.
'They havo told mo how common it is
in America and how much it Is prized,
and generally explained that they have
promised to take some of the real thing
back from Kenilwortli ruins for friends
at honia They toll me they expected to
find tho ruins of Kenilwortli castle over
grown with tho beautiful "Konil worth
ivy," and that it is genorally supposed
in America that such Is the oaso, and
that the ivy first came from hero or Is
named after these ruins becanse of its
abundance hero. '
"Tho woman nodded assent to all this,
and tho keeper continued: i
" 'But what you know ns "Kenil
wortli ivy" doesn't grow in or about
. Kenilwortli ruins, ns you vo no doubt
discovered. ' And ho milled again, und
, tho woman also smiled in an embarrass-
cd wny, for sho hud been hunting every
inch of tho ruins over, looking for tho
; plant. 'From tho description of tho plant
: which Americans give mo 1 think it is
what wo call ground or wood ivy that
I yon treasure so much It bus a small,
j bright grecu leaf and bears a tiny whito
flower. It grows ou tho ground in tho
thickets nnd under tho budges in cool
plncos, but 1 never saw it growing ou a
wall as tho common ivy does. 1 don't
think thero is much of it anywhere bore
abonts, bnt it grows in abnndnnoe in
somo places farther south. Tbo Ameri
can ladies always seom very much dis
appointed when I toll them 'Kenil
wortli ivy" doesn't grow here in Kenlt
worth, and I'm very sorry 1 can't give
you Bomo, ma'am. '
"And the woman turned away, with a
littlo sigh, ns she thought of the bang
ing basket at home which was to bave
been filled with 'real Kenlhvorth ivy'
and of the many friends to whom she
had promised slips of tho 'real thing'
when it bad grown. Tbe ruins of Kenil
worth cnstlo are covored with thick
masses of ivy, bnt it isn't 'Konil worth
ivy, ' but just the common kind. "New

Tho Aim at Christ's Work.
"Peaco ou earth" was tbe aim of
Christ's work in this world, writes Ed
ward Bellamy in Tho Ladies' Home
Journal. Tho wbolo gist of his doctrine
and tho bnrden of his teaching consisted
in counsels to men how to put on end to
strifo with their fellow mon and live to
gether with them in mutual helpfulness.
All this teaching, which was the wbolo
content of his gospel, was grouped about
and crystallized in tho golden rule,
whereon our modern world is foundod
as on an evorlasting foundation. To be
liovo in Christ and not to boliove in tho
golden rnlo as tho only plan for social
organization seems to us a moral and
rational impossibility an unthinkable
proposition. Just this, however, onr an
cestors undortook to do, and it is fair to
admit that they wore very frank about
it Tbey made no pretenses.

but feed well and grow fat "
Napoleon, who was as thin as a

at me, my good woman, and tell me
which of us two is the fatter. " '

certed, and the mob dispersed. Ex
