Speaking about the sociability Of
railroad travellers, said man with

bis eye, | never got SO well acquain'
ted with the passengers on a train,
"a did the other day on the Mil
Yankee & st. Paul railroad. We
were going at the rate OF about thir~
ty miles an hour, and another train
from the other direction telescoped
us. We were all thrown into each
others society, and brought into i'm.
mediate social contact, so to speak.
| went over and sat 10 the lap Of
corpulcn, lady from Manitoba, and
girl from Chicago jumped owe r nine
seats and sat down on the plug hat
of a preacher from Lacrosse, with so
much timid, girlish enthusiasm, that
it showed his hat clear down over
his shoulders.
Everybody seemed to lay aside
the cool reserve of strangers, and we
made ourselves entirely at home.
A shy young man, with an ema.
ciated oil cloth valise, left his own
seat and went over and sat down ia
a lunch basket where a bridal couple
seemed to be wrestling with their
first picnic dinner. Do you suppose
that young man would have done
such thing on ordinary occasions 7
Do you think if he had been at
celebration at home that be would
have risen impetuousIy, and gone
where those people were eating by
themselves and sat down in the Gran
berry jelly of total strangerf |
should rather think not.
Why, one old man, who probably
at home led the class meeting, and
who was a dignitied as Roscoe Conk-
Iing's father, was eating q piece of
custard pie when we met the other
train, and he left his own seat and
went over to the front end of the
car and stabbed that piece of custard
pie into the ear of a beautiful widow
from Iowa.

HELP YOURSELF.

People who have been bolstered
up and leavered all there lives are
seldom good for anything in crisis
When misfortune comes they look
around for something to cling to or
lean upon. If the prop is not there,
down they go.
Once down, they are as helpless as
capsized turtles, or endorsed men in
armor, and cannot find their feet
again within assistance.
Such silken fellows no more re-
semble self made men, who have
fought their way to position, making
difficulties their stepping stones, and
deriving determination from defeat,
than vines resemble oaks, or sputter.
ing rush lights the stars of heaven.
Effort persisted into achievements
train a man to self reliance, and
when be has proven to the world that
be can can trust himself, the world
will trust him.
1t is unwise to deprive young men
of the advantages which result from
their own energetic action by boost
ing them over obstacles which they
ought to surmount alone.

PIERCED BY A RED-HoT Bar CT
oN.-Qaintus Sonerwine, aged
sixteen, is employed at one Of the
rolls of the Judah Rolling Mills in
Allentown, Pa. A bar of red hot
iron was passing through the rolls,
and Sonerwine stood ready with his
tongs to catch it. Jnst as he was
about to catch hold of the bar, an
other boy accidentally struck the
iron. The blow gave the bar a sud
den upward movement, and it pierc
ed bis vest and shirt, passing up his
chest through his chin and the root
of his tongue to the roof bis mouth,
where the bone stopped further prog
ress. Though suffering great pain,
the boys presence of mind did mol
forsake him, but he pulled the iron
out, badly burning his hands. The
other workmen stood amazed, but tbs
boys father ran up to him, and
walked him to ply siciau, about siz
blocks distant. The hole in the chin
is large enough to admit the inser'
