An Engineers Need of Nerve.

PROFESSIONALLY the bravest men in
America, says the indianapolis Journal,
are those who can stand upon the foot
boards of the locomotives which draw
the fast express trains. But few persons
are aware of il, but on the leading rail-
ways, where connections must be made if
possible, only engineers known to be
brave and daring are given engines on eX-
press trains, and as soon as an engineer
shows the least timidity about running
fast, lie is taken from his engine and
given enc on freight train to run. Two
such cases have occurred recently on In
dianapolis roads. Railroad officers state
that the first sign that an engineer is be-
coming timid is, that he will be five to
ten minutes late, possibly half-hour, for
some days or nights'in succession. He is
then called to an account, and unless his
reasons are convincing, another engineer
is given his engine to run for a few times,
and should he bring tho train in promptly
on time, the first-named engineer gets a
freight-train engine to run until he braces
up. 1t is stated, however, that after an
engineer allows his timidity to get fair
hold, he seldom so far overcomes it as TO
have the bravery to step onto an express
train engine and run it at the speed neces-
sary to make the time. Quite recently
an engineer Of one of the roads running
west from here got an impression that
some accident as to happen to him, and
one night, hen running fast express,
he constantly lost time. At the first sta
ton where the train stopped the conduc-
tor berated HIM for running slow.
The engineer actually shed tears
and owned that fears had overcome
HIM, and that he dare not run fast,
and, at his own request, an engineer of
freight train which stood at this meeting
point was given the train to run through
that night. the conductor telegraphing the
train-master, asking that the request be
granted. The timid engineer has since
run a freight on the road

Jokes Upon Names.

A great many good jokes and bright
puns have been made on queer names.
Sometimes they have been really cruel,
though generality are made good, natmed-
ly. Perhaps a witty little epigram
ON DR.. Leetson, a famous physician of
the last century, was written without
design to wound him, but it could hardly
be read without doing him some injury.
He used to sign his prescriptions 1. Leet-
som, and the following was written:
When any patient calls in haste,
physics, bieeds and sweats 'em:
If after that they choose to die,
Why, what care II l. Leets'emi
1t is related that Sir Thomas Moore said
to Mr.. Silver, who was brought before
him for some misdemeanor, 'sSilver, you
must be tried by fire." 'sYes,n replied the
prisoner; but you know quicksilver can
not abide the fire. The promptness of the
retort so pleased Sir Thomas that he let
the man go.
MIR. Isaac Came, rich shoemaker of
Liverpool, who left immense property to
public charities, opened his first shop OPP
poslte the building where he had been
servant and put up sign, which read: "I.
Came, from over the way" Somewhat like
this was the sign of tavern-keeper,
named Danger near Cambridge, England,
who, having been driven out of his house,
Dullt another opposite, and inscribed it:
danger from over the way His success
sor then retorted by putting up new in
scrptlon: "There is no Danger here now !.

Two Seals Try to Save Their
Keeper.

A singular and deplorable event has
just taken place, which shows once more
what one may expect from the intelli-
gence of certain animals.
Everybody knows the pond in the Gar
den of Acclimation, in Paris, where the
seals frolic, and the little rock, from the
top of which the keeper Alexander comes
at meal-tim to give the animals their
cod.
The seals which the sight of Alexander
made happy, climb sometimes the rock,
and were in the habit Of coming to get
their food out Of the hands of the keep
er himself While Alexander was feed
ing these amphibians, wedding party
arrived. Alexander wished to be gal
liant toward the bride, and made the two
seals climb the rock. There he took a
live fish and held it in such way that
the seals in order to catch it were obliged
to stand up and make jump for il.
This sight made all the visitors burst In
to hearty laugh, and the whole we'd
ding-party were delighted. All of a sud-
den, one of the animals, tired, no doubt,
stood up and then fell heavily on the
keeper. The latter tripped, lost his bal
| ance and fell SO unluckily that he split
his skull on the edge of the pond and
disappeared Immediately under water.
Then nothing was more curious to see
the bewilderment and maneuvers of the
seals. These animals began to dive sew
al times, and then together they put the
| body Of Alexander ON their backs,
| brought him to the surface and pushed
| him on the shore, making Dlaintive cries,
as if calling for help. Unfortunately
help was not needed. The poor keeper
of seals was killed Oh the spot.

How the Layards Saved Marsha
SerranO.

Lady Layard, the wife of the British
ambassador at Constantinople, is hand
some woman, gifted with large heart
and great energy. Her kindness to the
suffering Turkish refugees has won from
them the most enthusiastic gratitude.
And it is not in Turkey only that her self
devotion and courage are appreciated.
While her husband was stationed in Mad
rid as British minister, Marshal Serrano,
the eX-regent, pursued by the Republi-
cans on an accusation of conspiracy sought
refuge at the British legation. AS this
residence was considered unsafe for him,
the Layards carried him in disguise to San
lander. On arriving at the railway sta
ton the marshal gave his arm to Mrs. La
yard, while Mr.. Layard walked behind
with the bags, and in this manner they
got safe into the train through a crowd
OF excited Republicans. At the princi-
pal stations on the road the "Reds'' search
ed the carriages, but Mr.. Layard stood at
one door of their compartment and Mrs.
Layard at the other, and prevented the
men from entering, claiming the right Of
free passage as British representatives.
At Santander tug was engaged to take
Serrano to Biarritz, and at the last mo-
ment two civil guards came up and de-
manded permission to search it; Mr.. La
yard stood in the gangway and refused to
admit them, saying that the strange pass
enger was messenger being sent by the
British minister. They being desisted,
the tug started and Serrano was saved.
| For the part she had taken in the matter
| Mrs. Layard received the thanks of the
British government in special dispatch

being so honored

A Strange Story.

That truth is stranger than fiction the
Dubuque Qa.) Times demonstrates in its
local columns. A wealthy couple had
lived together In perfect peace for forty
one years. While sitting in the parlor
one evening not long ago, the husband
surprised his wife by saying, 81 am going
to tell you a secret you have never heard
before" There was brief pause as the
lady and near relative who CHANGED to
be present awaited the disclosure, and
the husband continued: Eyes, you'will
be surprised to hear that had another
before I married you" Startled and
aghast the wife clasped her hands in sus-
pense, and asked. Gam not theu your
lawful wife?" 'You are my loved and
lawful wife" was the prompt reply; TINY
first wife died four years before l came
to Dubuque and met YOU" Then he re-
lated how he had married his first wife
and been summoned to his home to find
her dead in childbirth. Then he went
West and settled in Dubuque, where the
second romance of his life came about
Six years ago he received letter from
the woman who mad nursed his first
wife. She wrote that she was upon her
deathbed, and could not rest until she
had confessed her share in base crime
The wife had died but the son had sur
vived, and through large bride offered
by the dead woman's father, the nurses
lips had been sealed and the husband
told that the child had died with its
mother. This man, the father-in-l law, was
wealthy, but his daughters death left
him without an heir, and he took this
means of supplying what fate had denied
With her last breath the nurse informed
her employer that she had divulged the
truth to the gentleman in Dubuque, and
Immediately upon her death the father
ln-law went West and offered large
bride. This was refused, but the secret
was kept. The son was a millionaire in
the city of p, and his father was anxious
to see him. The second wife was thus
told the secret for the first time, and
asked to go East to pay the first wife's
son visit. When the story was told tie
wife announced in low tones: sSlnce you
kept it from me so long would rather.
you had never repeated it.n The excite
ment caused by the recital proved fatal.
In two DAYS the lady was dead.

the order for the last salute over the grave,
Fire = and fell dead, shot through the
heart, i was calm and quiet in the con-
fusion which followed. The miserable
wretch had paid his debt. But when the
excitement was past, and was once
again in the dull routine of duty
where was the contented, satisfied
heart I hoped for as soon
as my vengeance was complete and my
enemy, the murderer of my brother, was
rotting in the grave? No! Isought death
to escape from my own thoughts; want
ed to die to rid the world Of the coward
who had shot down in secrect his foe, and
dared not confess his crime. Fourteen
years I have carried this worm at my
heart, gnawing away hope and friendship
from my life, for how could man like
me have friends? I once read about
furies; I have felt them tearing at me for
years. Oh, misery!' A fit of coughing
cholzed his voice; he sank back exhaust
ed with the effort he had made. Next
morning he was dead, but on his haggard
face was look which told that, having
found life CALLING load, tired he slept,
at last"
