The Rrakeman,s Story.

A brakeman on the Erie railroad tells the following story: During the heavy rush of freight last summer Ihad been on duty for th1ee days and nights, and was completely iaded out Between Deposit and Hancock our train broke in two, and, running together again, caused wreck. went back to flag the first approaching train. After going what considered proper distance, I sat down on the outside of the rail to wait. I was soon asleep with my head leaning on my hand, and my face turned on the track. I dreamed was lying on the track, and that the Atlantic express ran me down, cutting off both my arms and mangling me go terribly that I could not possibly survive. awoke with start, and there, within forty feet of me, was the headlight of locomo- tive, bearing down upon me at the rate of forty miles an hour. I grabbed my red lantern and sprang from the track, and as I did so the engineer saw me; there was 8 whistle of down brakes, and the train was saved. It was the Atlantic express I saw in my dream.

How CIleapIy One Can Live.

 story is told that shows just how cheap
 8 man can live, when he gets "down to
 mush," fguratively and literally speak ] ing Colonel Fitzgibbon was, many
 years ago, colonial agent at London for the Canadian government, and was
 wholly dependent upon remittances
 from Canada for his support. On one occasion these remittances failed to ar
 rive, and as there was no cable in those days he was compelled to write to his
 Canadian friends to know the reason of the delay. Meanwhile he had
 just one sovereign to live upon.
 He found that he could live
 upon sixpence per day, or about
 twelve and half cents of cur money four pennyworths of bread, one penny
 worth of milk and one pennyworth of sugar. He made pudding of some of the bread and sugar, which served for breakfa fast, dinner and supper, the milk being reserved for the last meal. When his remittances arrived about month afterward he had five shillings remain, ing of his sovereign, and he liked his frugal diet so we'll that he kept it up for over two years, possibly longer. Twelve cents day is certainly small amount to expend for food but man in Minnesota, about three years ago, worried through whole year on ten dollars. He lived on "Johnny cake"
