Love itself is the greatest stimulant, the

On Sunday afternoon the Fsrt Wayne
Railroad Company sent construction
train up the road preparatory to the COM
mencement Of work on Monday morning,
as is the usual custom. The engineer,
anxious, of course, to make his Sunday
work as short as possible, rushed the train
out of the depot and around the curve to
the bridge at the top of its speed. Upon
arriving at the bridge, however, he saw
that which caused him to reverse the en-.
gine and apply the brakes with all his
force. A man with his wife and two chill.
dren were ON the narrow portion of the
bridge, where it is Just wide enough for q
train to pass, about midway of its length
of six hundred feet. Neither end could;
the train would rush upon them; but the
father and husband was equal to the emer-
gency.
Catching up the children in his arms, he
told his life he would see to them, and
babe her run toward the end of the bridge,
until the train should reach her, and then
jump into the water. She must run for
her life, as her safety depended upon her
getting near enough to the shore to find
shallow water before being overtaken by
the train. She did as directed, and when
she felt the hot breath of the iron monster
she jumped from the bridge, fortunately
alighting in not more than two feet of
water and weeds, and the train passed her
in safety. But what of the father and
little ones He could not run with the m
and while almost distracted with fears of
his wife's safety, he was bound to find
some escape for them. Taking the little
ones in his arms, he coolly and steadily, in
the face of the approaching train, lowered
himself with them to brace beneath the
bed timbers, and there held them fast
within few feet of the water, while the
train came laundering over them About
the time theeengineer reached the centre
of the bridge the exertions of the engineer
and brakemen effected the stOppage of the
train, and their assistance was rendered
to extricate the frightened family from
their yet perilous position, and they went
on their way, thankful for their deliver
ance.-Jeksom, Aich 0itissm.

How Some Of Our Merchants have Risen.

A few wears ago, a large drug firm in
this city advertised for boy. Next day
the store was thronged with applicants,
among them q queer looking little fellow
accompanied by a woman, who proved to
be his aunt, in lieu of faithless parents, by
whom he had been abandoned. Looking
at this little waif, the merchant in the
store promptly said "Can't take him;
places all full; besides he is too small" II
know he IL SMALL said the woman, "but
he is wiliing and faithful" There was q
twinkle In the boys eyes which made the
merchant think again. A partner in the
firm volunteered 10 remark that he "did
not see what they wanted of such q boy
he wasn't bigger than q pint Of cider"
work. A few days latera call was made
on the boys in the store for some one to
stay all night The prompt response OF
the little fellow contrasted well with the
reluctance Of others In the middle Of
the night theJ merchant looked in to
see II ali was right in the store, and
presently discovered his youthful pro-
tege busy scissoring labels. What
are you doing ?" said he; al did not tell
you to work nights.v Al know you did

well be doing something" In the morn
ing the cashier got orders to "double that
boys wages, for he is ceiling" Only .
few weeks elapsed before a show Of Wild
beasts passed through the streets, and very
naturally all hands in the store rushed TO
witness the spectacle. A thief saw his
opportunity, and entered in rear door to
seize something. but in twinkiing found
hivnaetf 6rv,nIv olr,tched hy the diminufive
clerk aforesaid, and, after a struggle, was
captured. Not only was a robbery pre-
vented, but valuable articles taken from
other stores were recovered When asked
by the merchant why he staid behind to
watch when all others quit their work,
The reply was, You told me never TO
leave the Store when others were absent,
and thought I'd stay" Orders were i'm
mediately given once more: Double
that boys wages; he is willing and faith
fm." To-day that boy is getting q salary
of $2,50O, and next january viii become
q member of the firm--N. y. Republic.

THE story Of the origin Of the game OF
chess is something after this wise: An an
cient ruler, wearief with the Old, worn out
sports of the period, offered Q reward for
the invention of a game which should
combine amusement and instruction. His
Grand Vizier thereupon, after long study,
invented the game ofchess, 90 being @ pas
time and as teaching in epitome the art Of
concentrating forces, attacking, defending,
retreating, etc, as applied to military tac-
tics. The King was so delighted with the
game that he told the Vizier to name his
own reward. The wise man replied that
for his reward he would only ask for a
certain number Of kernels of corn. on the
following plan: Two kernels for the first
square on the chess board, four kernels for
the second square, eight for the third, and
90 on up to the sixty fourth square, the
number of kernels for each square being
double that for the preceding one. The
King, laughing. granted the modest re.
quest, but, upon computation, 1t was dis
covered that, not only was there not sc
much grain in the kingdom, but that the
sshoIe soorId could hardly produce, in hal
a score of years, the grain necessary tt
make good the kings promise. vrr
Allowing 120 grains of corn to tn,
ounce, and So pounds to the bushel, tn,
amount required to fill the bill would b

A FRENCH workman, some time ago, In
vanishing various metal pieces scorched
himself most dreadfully. In his agony,
and without an instant's reflection, he
thrust his injured hand into the pot CON.
tanning the varnish, and immediately felt
relieved as ifby enchantment. He repeated
the operation for day or two, and in .
very short time his hand was perfectly
cured. This discovery excited attention
in his neighborhood; he treated many
similar cases successfully, and in Septem-
ber, 1883, he was sent for to Metz, in or
der to cure the men injured by the explo-
sion of the powder magazine. He is now
in Paris, having been sent for to try his
varnish on two patients in hospital, and
has succeeded so well that sore that had
been reserved for comparison, to be treated
with nitrate Of silver in the ordinary way,
has been given up to him 70 be managed
