A Sled.Ride Behind q Train.

One of our townsmen who was up
north short time since tells pretty
good story of a joke on conductor in
the employ of the Utica & Black river
railroad company The conductor runs
passenger train. 1t seems that a young
fellow residing near Lowville has quite
local reputation as dance artist, and
he travels about the country consider.
ably and dances ut entertainments for
the amusement of the people. He is
noted Tor genial manners, and the boys
attempt to run upon him " on account
OF his good nature. A short time since
the young man referred to had occasion
to travel from one station to another, a
distance of about two miles, and he con-
ceived the idea that it would be easier
to ride than to walk. He had no money,
so he resolved to beg a ride. The con-
ductor promptly refused to carry him
free, but the fellow insisted that he
ought to ride free. The conductor in
sisted that he should not, and the fellow
offered TO bet that he would get a free
ride to his place of destination. He had
hand-sled with him, and when the
train was about to start he went to the
rear of the train and hitched on. Away
went the train dragging the sleigh with
the boy firmly seated thereon. Train
hands and passengers looked on in as
tonishment: The conductor went to
the rear platform and asked the venture
some fellow for his ticket. The boy
laughed at him and hung on. The con-
ductor resolved to give him shaking
up, so he ordered the engineer to put on
extra steam. The train fairly flew.
The sled scarcely touched the snow, so
great was the speed of the train. It
remained right sideup all the time, how
ever. and the deadhead passenger hung
on like grim death. The upshot of the
matter was that the dance artist reached
his destination in safety, and joked the
conductor numerically. 1t is supposed
the latter bought the cigars for the
crowd. The boy, by his recklessness
and grit, won the admiration of the
conductor, and now he rides free on the
train any time he likes.-Ron,e CIV. ~

The Duty of Hushands.

The first duty of husbands is to SYM
pathize with their wives in all their
cares and labors. Men are apt to for
get, in the perplexities and annoyances
of business, that home cares are also
annoying, and try the patience and
strength of their wives. They come
home expecting sympathy and atten-
ton, but are too apt to have none to
give. A single kindly word or look,
that tells his thought of her and her
troubles, would lift the weight of care
from her heart. Secondly, husbands
should make confidants of their wives,
consulting them on their plans and pros
poets, and especially on their troubles
and barrassments. A woman's in
tuition is often better than all his wis.
dom and snrewdness; and all her ready
sympathy and interest is powerful aid
TO his efforts for their mutual welfare.
Thirdly, men should show their love for
their wives in constant attention, lin
their manner of treating them and in
the thousand and one trihing offices OF
affection which may be hardly notice
able, but which make all the difference
between life of sad and underlined
longing, and CHEEKY, happy existence.
Above all, men should beware OF treat
ing their wives with rudeness and in
civility, as if they were the only per-
sons not entitled to their consideration
and respect. They should think of their
sensitive feelings, and their need OF
sympathy, and never let the fire of love
go out, or cease to show that the flame
IS burning with unabated fervor.

A Wonder !

In most of the papers may be seen an an
nOuncement of a new rubber boot made by
the Candee Rubber Co., OF New Haven, CT
This notable boot marks new era in the
manufacture of rubber goods. The boot is
called the "95 Per Cent. Sterling" to denote
its high quality, and is covered by no less
then seven patents, all owned by the Candee
Co.! One of the boots split to show its exact
character, is on exhibition at the stores, and
shows an article OF genuine service, that is
seemingly indestructable. The company war

Animal Longevity.

A tortoise which died in the bishop
of Peterborough's garden, in 1921, was
more than 300 years of age, and one be-
longing TO Archbish Jp Land died from
neglect at the age of 1913 years. As to
fishes, the pike has been said to live 267
years, and the carp for 200 years. IL is
highly probable that the gigantic sala-
mander may live for a greatly pro
lOnged period, and frogs and toads are
probably long-livea animals, small as
is their relative size. A toad has been
kept for thirty-six years without show
ing signs of age, and then died through
an accident. Whales have been sup.
posed to live from 800 to 400 years. The
life of an elephant is said to extend be-
yond 100 years. but of this there seems
rs yet to be no certain evidence. Birds,
as creatures at once 20 active and warm
blooded (and thus COMPRISING, as it
were, much life into small period),
might be expected to be short-lived.
Yet parrots have been known to live
for upward of a century, and pelicans,
geese, and crows may exceed the period
commonly allotted to man. But how
ever commonly threescore years and ten

intellectual faculties more or less be-
yond 100 years. Yet a horse is generally
old at thirty, and is not known ever to
have attained twice that age. The life
of a sheep is OF about fifteen years. dura-
tion, and that of dog from fifteen to
twenty, although allied animals are
much longer lived. Thus, the lion
called Pompey, which died in the Tower
of London in 1850, had lived there for
no less than seventy years. Extremely
varied, then, is the duration of the life
of individual organisms. Not less
varied are the relations to time of the
races and of different groups of animals
and plants. Species, genera, families,
orders, and classes of animals and plants,
differ extremely as to their period of
duration, some of each of these groups
appearing to have been but short lived
compared with other divisions of SINH
lar rank.-&. G. Mvart, in Constempor-

Fire.Fishing.

Captain Squyer, of st. Johns, Florida,
recently gave to party of Northerners
an exhibition of fire-tishing at mid
night. Four men and two women were
slowed away in small boat, which was
propelled by means of pole. In the
bow of the boat stood the captain with a
lighted lightwood torch in one hand and
a harpoon or four-pronged spear in the
other A fat-pine fire also burned in
the bow. casting brilliant light on the
water. The boat was pushed along in
water from one to two feet deep, and its
occupants were able to see the smallest
fish much better than though it were
midday. The glaring light seemed to
blind the fish, who lay motionless on
the sand. A well directed thrust with
the harpoon would be sure to land fine
fellow into the boat. Many interesting
sights were seen on the sand-hats,
among them numerous sheepsheads fast
asleep on their backs. The sheepshead,
as seen at the bottom by a turpentine
light, looks like little white streak.
His head often rests against an oyster
shell for a pillow.

from the skirt, both in material and in
color-the spencer, in fact, of forty
years ago.
Skirts are decidedly shorter this sea-
son, whether for the matron who wears
striped velvet, brocade and satin, or for
youthful dancers in gauze, silk muslin
and India muslin.
1t is becoming a fashion for ladies
each to adopt a separate flower for her
own, and to wear it on all occasions

they are obtainable.
Full fraises of lace are worn high and
close around the throat. The lace is
put in treble box plaits, and there is a
long bow of muslin and lace added to
this to fall low on the corsage.
The newest corsage for evening dress
has the short basque shape at the hips,
is laced at the back, and terminates
there as well as at the front in long and
acute points. The neck is heart shaped
or round and very short pulled sleeves
replace shoulder straps.

bridesmaids at English weddings. Old
English, almost fancy, dresses are
adopted sometimes. At a recent wed
ding white satin, with Vatican plaits,
tight sleeves with puffs, and Olivia
caps of white lace and green satin were
chosen, and looked most quaint on the
children who acted as bridesmaids.

How the "PiOneers" Fell Out,

beard and telling the group around the
stove that he had seen a dozen lust such
winters as this, when in came second
old pioneer who had seen just as many
wolves and bears in olden days, and who
felt his importance just us much. The
two eyed each other askance, and di-
rectly the first observed:
" Seems to me you are looking poorly
for man only seventy. two years old. ="

print without glasses; my eyes were

Let's see which has the best eyes, :"
remarked the grocer's clerk as he took q
card from his pocket, and the two old
pioneers cheerfully agreed.
The card was red on one side and blue
on the other, and the clerk held it 80
that only one could see at time. The
first pioneer took squint and called
out:
" Blue as milestone! Can't fool my
eyes on that"
The red side was turned as the other
looked, and he called out:
Guess this is your blue day! If that
card isn't red then I'll never pitch any
more hay"
The other looked again, saw the blue
side, and sneeringiy remarked:
I'D hate to have your eyes! That
card is no more red than blue-bird. :"

manded the other. Il won't stand no

While one sat down in basket of
clothes-pins the other burned his elbow
on the stove. Both made rush for the
door to seek a justice and warrant,
and there they collided and sat down on
the floor. The one who got out first
hurried up the street and the other
down, and each was saying to himself:
