schoolmates, for her 1.-the form and pleasing
disposition carried cheerfulness into their
ranks. Diligent, punctual and exemplary.
obedicnt and graceful at home, she won the
hearts of all. But, alas, we are sorrowed
Those rosy cheeks and ruddy Inns are

enchanting in laugh and song is feeble, husky.

approach her couch gently and take her hand.
Do not shudder because of her feeble and mas.
sionless grasp. The hand once so hearty and
plump Is emaciated, and shows long outlines
while the cords and tortuous veins are plainlv
mapped upon the surface. The pulse that
bounded with repletion, carrying yipor IN
the whole system and imparting life, beautv
vlvacity, health and strength, Is delicate to
the touch. The feeble heart cannot prone,
the thin scaaty blood with force. Nnst we

cheer and consolation. and depart with
moistened eyes and silent steps, Must -.

A One Rail Railway,

A one-rail railway has been in sue.
cessful operation between Raney and
Montfermeil, near Paris, for two
years. The locomotive for n one rail
road has four wheels. two being
placed, one at the front and one ut
the rear of the engine, bearing on the
rail. These give the direction and
are double flanged. The other pair
OF wheels are placed in q traverse
plane passing ON q line In front of
the fre-box. They run on oak plank
or Macadamised road, as the case
may be, and are the driving wheels.
This sort OF railway can be built in
France for about $1,000 per mile.--
The locomotives weigh six and ten
tons; the former runs fourteen miles
an hour, drawing, besides its own
weight, thirty Ave tons up grade of
two feet In hundred; the latter will
draw uplfifty tons at rate OF eight
cen miles an hour up the same grade;

people that II that cow bell was TO be

the COW should have the benefit of
1t; and accordingly about ten o'clock
after the cows had got comfortably
settled for the night In their usual
quarters, and the monotonous ding
dong or the bell had commenced,
pan Of salt was procured and its con-
tents emptied on the grass in front of
f
the residence of the owner of the
bell cow. She and her mates were
then driven to where the salt had
been deposited. and of course 1t did
not require much persuasion to make
them remain there; and shortly af-
terward two more cows with bells on
and some more without bells on,
were driven TO the same spot, after
which some more salt was thrown on
the grass in the immediate vicinity.
This was about as soft thing as the
cows wanted for the night, so they
did not leave the place until driven
away to pasture In the morning

MIXED, the cattle again found their
salty place, bringing with them some
