Brave Feat or an Engineer.

WHAT would undoubtedly have been
a fatal accident was averted Tuesday
by the courage and presence of mind
displayed by Engineer Kingsley, of the
Housatonic road. He runs the up-eX-
press train leaving Bridgeport at 1910
a. m. About half mile south of Lee
he discovered a child two or threeyears
of age on the track ahead. He at once
whistled down brakes and they were
applied. The train slowed up, but the
engineer saw it was not going to stop
in time to avoid striking the child. and
he accordingly jumped from the loco
motive, ran ahead and caught the little
girl just as the pilot touched her. She
was unframed. Her mother arrived a
moment or two later, and was so over
come with joyful emotion on learning of
the child's escape that she tainted

Au Ant Worth Going To.

THERE has lately been discovered a
species of ant which deserves to be at
once introduced t. the attention of all
children, servants and ladies keeping
house. No vcstry should be ignorant
of the habits of so admirable creature,
and sanitary boards of all kinds should
without loss of time be put in possession
CT the leading facts with respect to
them. This ant. it appears, abominates
rubbish. If its house is made in a mess
it gets disguised. goe, sadly away and
never comes back. Dirt breaks its
heart. The insect in question is n
native Of Colombia, and matches its
eggs by artificial heat. procuring for
this purpose quantities of foliage, which
in the course of natural fermentation
supply the necessary warmth. When
the young brood is Matched the COM
munity carefully carry away the de-
composed rubbish that has served its
purpose as a hotbed, and stack it by it

Fish in Hot Water.

DURING the late suspension of pump
ing in. the Belcher Mine the pump near
est the surface WAS UyerhauIed, and at
the clack were found number of cat
fish, one being nine inches in leng. h
and fat as mud There were some
twenty smaller ones, ranging in size
down to less than IN inch in length.
About two years ago w. P. Bennett
purchased a lot of these fish and placed
them in the Belcher tank on the sur
face. where they grew and bred. \
very fine wire screen was placed over
the outlet of the tank to prevent their
escape. These fish must have wiggIed
through this screen when very small,
and then found their way through the
connecting pipes to the pump col
umn. 1t is a mystery, however, how
these fish could have lived in the hot
water raised by the pumps, for if one
from ordinary water is placed in it, it
Immediately scalds the skin of. But
the fact that they did live in it and
thrive on it is attested by their presence
there and the fine condition of the

A Monster RattleSnake.

JOHN G. TEMPLEToN informs the Los
Angeles (Cal.) Herald that while pros
pecting in Tar Greek Canyon, in the
>eepage region, he had occasion to
make road through the snow four feet
deep. In doing so he came across an
immense rattleSnake in a torpid condi-
ton After diSuatching the monster
he found that it measured seven feet IN
length by twelve and a half inches in
circumference and had twenty-five rat
ties. These, which he cut off and
brought. with him SIS a trophy, show
that his snakeship had attained the
venerable age of twenty eight years,
counting three years for the first button
and one year for each rattle.
