which I labor which compels not only
the conductor but the engineer to sign

my superintendent took charge he insist

in that way he as ,ertained that there was
one engineer III the employ of the com

and he had been runningan engine for
fifteen years. Had an accident occurred
to his train, in which accident persons
were injured, and in consequence Of such
injuries an Investigation had been Or

Inc stranger happened to he a fierce
Tory, manufacturer from Yorkshire,
who hated John Bright and his Liberal
politics with equal intensity.
"nlie the game was going on, the
Tory wife learned that her husband
was in coiapany with the famous Liberal
orator. Alarmed, since she had heard
him speak bitterly against Mr.. Bright,
>,she anxionsly asked:
Z Are they fighting?"
An hour or two after the husband re-
turned to his room, rubbing his hands,
and intthe best Of humor. He had had
such a} good time at billiards with a
most 'pleasing stranger, and they were to

The Tory was sobered for moment
by the news. But, recovering himself.
he remarked that "those newspapers
always did lie about people," And, to
the astoaishmcnt Of his wife, he an
nounced that, under certain circum

Helping o Constable.

One day Michigan Constable who
had long been trying to collect claim
Of forty dollars against a sharp citizen,
went to worthy burgher and said:
"See here. Jones. I've got n plan to
collect forty dollars of that sharper Per-
kins. All want is q little help from
you. and if yOh grant it | won't forget
the favor"
I'm willing-what's 5 your plan?" re-
piled Jones.
"Why, want you to bet him twenty
dollars that he doesn't weigh 10
pounds. If you'll do that can fix the
rest"
"Oh, I'll do anything to help you
out" said Jones. and the two walked
around to the grocery where Perkins
was known to hang out. After a little
talk. the Constable keeping in the shade,
Joues began blutling. and when he
stated his fiendish desire to bet twenty
dollars that Perkins wouldn't tip the
beam at 120 pounds. his greenbacks
were covered before q mule could kick
three times. As the money was put up
the Constable slipped out for gar
nishee. and was back in time to serve it
on the stakeholder. Perkins weighed
14S pounds, and the forty dollars in the
hands of the stakeholder eventually
paid claim against him, but it has
never yet been made plain to Jones
how he made anything out of it. 1t
has always seemed to him that he was
twenty dollars out and for fifteen long
years he has refused to walk on the
same side of the street with that Con-
stable. Detroit Free Press

Floor Cleaning.

There can not, think. be doubt
that for the bedroom floor dry cleans
ing is always the best. Water DESTROY s
the varnish on stained and painted
floors, making them patchy and dirty
looking; water destroys the cvenness of
surface; water makes the adoption of
the waxed floor almost impossible; wa
ter when it is used often percolates into
the joints of the fioor-bOards. causing
them TO separate and become holders OF
dirt; and. lastly, if water be used for
cleansing. the chances are many in the
course OF year that the room will be
washed on some damp and foggy day,
the boards will dry imperfectly, and.
though at bedtime they may be to APP
pearance dry. they will not be 80 entire
ly, while the air of the room will be still
charged with moisture; so that although
the sleeper does not get into damp
bed. he does get into II damp bedroom.
which in some respects is equally inju-
riouS.
l have seen such very bad results from
damp sleeping-rooms, in which the
dampness Of the air had been caused by
washing the floors. that l do not press
the lesson I wish to enforce at all too
fOrcibly or earnestly.
When from any circumstance the
floor OF the bedroom cannot have given
to it a vanished or waxed surface
when. for example, the floor is con-
structed simply of deal planks--it may
seem To be absolutely necessary to
clean the surface with water. These
floors. moreover, are just the floors that
hold water the longest, and for all rea-
sons are least adapted for water
cleansing. How, then, it will be said.
are such floors to be cleansed? They
are most easily cleansed in one dry
way, viz, by dry scrubbing with saw
dust. The servant takes up Il small
pailful of clean, fresh saw-dust. and,
taking it out by handfuls. spreads it on
the floor. and. with 4 hard. short
bristled brush, scrubs with the saw
dust As though She were using water it.
self When the whole surface has been
scrubbed in this way. she sweeps up the
sawdust and finds beneath ii beautiful,
cleak and dry floor; or. if there be left
any part still dirty, she easily remedies
the defect by an additional scrub at
that part. When all is finished she
carries the dirty sawdust away, and de-
rroys it b. burning it in the kitchen
fire. White sand may be used instead
of saw-dust for the same purpose, but it
is not so convenient. and is not so quick
cleanser as sawdust. The same
sand. if sand be used. can be applied
scA'eral times. if it be cleansed by wash
ing and aiterward heating 1t over the
tiN until it is quite dry.-Appleton's .
