From the New Haven Register. !

The Dullwitt family are having a good
deal of trouble just now. Benjamin
Franklin, the old est boy, brings home

that the quotient in long division ought
to be the exact multiple of the Gvisor in
order to produce the dividend; and all
the while the old man can't prove it, and
that's what makes him hrtfy. At the
same time Matilda Geraldine, the cork
screw curled pride Of the family, is try
ing to get her mother to help her
"bound Servia as it is since the cstab-
lishmcnt of Montencgro's autonomy, and
the poor woman forgets to mix her
bread, anu goes TO bed with asstring of
geographical names in her herd long
enough to "bound" the world And
still the children stand at the footaof the
class. # /:

Presence Of Mind.

Many railroad accidents are prevented
by presence of mind on the part of engin-
eers. The Car Builder relates the follow
ing as among the recent evidences of pres
ence Of mind on the part of locomotive
engineers:
A passenger train on the G. B. & @. road
was rounninga sharp curve, just under q
piece Of tall timber The watchful engin-
eer saw a tree laying across the track 60
feet ahead of the locomotive. The train
was running at the rate OF 35 miles an hour
and to check its motion before reaching
the obstruction was out of the question.
The engineer took in the situation at q
glance. He threw the throttle wide open,
the engine shot ahead with the velocity OF
an arrow and with such tremendous force
that the tree was picked up by the cow.
