RAILROAD Acc1pENT.--An

RAILROAD ACCIDENT An acct
d mt occurred on the Stephens City
Elevated Railway on Saturday even
ing last. AS the express train drawn
by locomotive No Clio was rounding a
sharp curve in the road, and running
at high rate of speed, the hange on
one of the front wheels of the engine
broke. causing it to leave the track,
and but for the promptness of the en-
gineer, Ed. A.. Mayors, in applying
the air-brakes, II terrible accident
must have ensued. Fortunately no
lives were lost. A large lot of cheap
crockery and glassware stored near
the line of railway was threatened
with immediate destruction, and to
prevent a further risk of this kind
will now be sold at greatly reduced
prices.

How Elephants Multiplv.

The elephants are, of all known ami
mails, the slowest to increase in mum.
bers. At the earliest the female ele-
plant does not become a parent until
the age Of 80 years, and only six young
are capable of being produced during tue
parental period, which appears to cease
at 80 years of age, the average duration
OF elephant life being presumed to be
about 100 years. But it is most inter-
esting, as well as important, in view of
any speculation on the increase of spe-
cies ana on the question of competition
among the races of animal life, to reflect
that, given favorable conditions of ex.
istence, such as suficiency of food, q
freedom from disease and from the at
tack of enemies, the elephant race, slow
of increase Is it is, would come in few
years to stock the entire world with its
huge representative. On the data at.
forded by the foregoing details of the
age at which these animals produce
young and Of their parental period. it i
easy to calculate that In from TAO to 75C
years Is, 600, 600 elephants would remain
to represent natural population. Il

answer is always unsatisfactory. The

COURTESY at Home.

Good breeding, like charity, should
begin at home. The day is past when
children used to rise when their parents
entered the room where they were and
stand until they had received permission
to sit. But the mistake is Eoy made
usually in the other direction in allow.
ing to small boys and girls too much
license to disturb the peace of the
household. [ think the best way to
train children in courtesy would be to OBJ.
serve toward them q scrupulous polite
ness. 1 would go so far as to say that
we should make it as much point to
listen to children without interrupting
them and to answer them sincerely and
respectfully as if they were grown up
And, indeed, many of their wise, quaint
sayings are far better worth listening to
than the stereotyped commonplace of
the morning callers. Of course, to al
low uninterrupted chatter would be to
surrender the repose of the household,
but it is very easy, if children are them
selves scrupulously respected, to teach
them in turn scrupulously to respect
the convenience of others, and to know
when to talk and when to be silent.
If child is brought up in the con-
slant exercise of courtesy toward broth
ers and sisters and playmates, as well
as toward parents and uncles and aunts,
it will have little left to learn as it
grows older. I know bright and be-
witching little girl who was well-in-
structed in table etiquette, but who for
got her lessons sometimes, as even older
people do now and then. The arrange
ment was made with her that for every
solecism of this sort she was to pay a
fine of 5 cents, while for every similar
cTelessness which she could discover in
her elders she was to exact fine of 10
cents, their experience of life being lon
ger than hers. You may be sure that
Mistress Bright Eyes watched the pro-
ceedings Of that table very carefully.
No slightest disregard of the most con-
ventional etiquette escaped her quick
vision, and she was an infexible cred
itor and a faithful debtor. It was the
prettiest sight to see her, when con-
scious of some failure on her own part,
60 unhesitatingly to her money-box and
pay cheerfully her little tribute to the
outraged properties.
The best brought up family of chill
dren L ever knew were educated on the
principle Of always commencing them
when it was possible to do 80, and let
ting silence be the reproof of any
wrong doing which was not really serious.
I have heard the children of this house
hold, when their mother had failed to
say any word of commentator after
some social occasion, ask as anxiously
as possible, what was it, mamma? T
know something was wrong. Didn't we
treat the other children we'll, or were
we too noisy?" In that house reproof
was never bestowed unsought- only
commentator, of whatever it was pos
sible to commend, was gratuitous.
I think this system would be as good
for those grown-up children, the hus-
bands and wives, as for those still in the
nursery.-Mrs. Louise Chandler Moul-
tom, IN Our Continent.

Afraid of q Letter.

It was not long ago that I happened
to be in part of Central Africa where
no white man had been before. I was
separated from my companions81OO
miles distant. War was raging around
me the road was difficult. I wished to
communicate with those whom I had
left behind. "Who will return" I
asked of the naked savages, "to the
white men and carry them something
from me?" Numbers volunteered, glad
to earn yard of cloth for the job. A
letter was written and offered to man.
and he was told that this piece of paper
would inform my friends of all-that it
would speak to them. He dropped the
letter on the ground and ran away.
Others were tried, but it was useless. A
great crowd assembled, and at safe dis
lance from the little bit of paper futter-
ing Oh the ground. cit is medicine, I"
they said. cit is charmed" In vain
1 tried to reason them out of their ter
ror. None would touch it. evil no
one" I said, keep it and give it to the
white men when they pass this way?" A
yell of refusal and excited gesticulations
answered my request. "Then I shall
place it here in this tree" said, NOV
ing toward it, while the crowd dispersed
in fight, "and you can point it out to
the white men when they come" Even
this they refused to do. My friends
passed close under the tree, but no one
dared show them the charmed thing.
and there it is probably to this day flut-
tering on the branch of that stunted fig
tree, like an evil spirit. the awe and ter
ror of the tribe.-H. Q. Cottersli.

Light and the Eyes.

Prof. Pickering, of Harvard OBSERVE
tory, points out in NataTe fhat the color
Of gaslight has nothing to elo with its
painful effect upon the eyes of students
and others. To test this question hs
had tin lamp shade constructed, coa-
sistiDg of tube six inches IN hneph.
One end was closed by reflector. and
the other by piece Of Light blee glass.
Two holes were made in the sides,
through which passed the glass chimney
of an Argand gasburner By expert
menting with photometer, position
was found where the light received on \
book was Of the same intensity and very
similar color to that from window in
day time at distance Of about six feet.
A few minutes reading, however. was
sufficient to convince him that the new
light was far more tryi1g to the eyes
than an ordinary gas.Aame would he,
the i'll effects being due to the intense
heat thrown down by the reflector.
And this, he thinks, is the source of the
whole trouble in the ordinary gas
burner. The heat radiated by the
fame the heated chimney and shade,
and reflected from the printed page and
all other white paper lying on the table,
dries the eyes, the lids, the forehead and
temples. Temporary relief may be
found by bathing the face and eyes in
water, but it is only temporary. The
hot, dry air from the lamp is also harm
full, and no doubt contributes its share
of its injury to the vision. These evils
may both in part be remedied by plac-
ing pane of glass so as to intercept
the rays about the lamp before they
strike on the book or the face But ii
must be placed at such distance from
the lamp as not itself to become heated
The hotter the flame the winter it is
and the, more light is thrown off in pro.
portion to the heat Hence oculists are
recommending such lights as the stu
dents and moderator lamps, which burn
with small, hot and very brilliant
flame, as compared with that furnished
by the argand and fish-tail burners

how alarmingly prevalent near-sighted.

great hopes of the electric light in TIL;
respect. In it there was the maximum
of light with minimum of heat. The
ever-varying intensity was an objection
but he thought we might look forward
to the success of the light from the in

ture, as remedy for "the most wide

irg specimen Of the independent West

the Western Territories. The man vino

asked # he were hungry. The guest
replied that he was. s'I'm glad of it, :"

Ohr party stopped at a wayside inn
one day. There was a hamlet of three
or four houses on creek. The place
seemed deserted, but the hating of a
team before the log building where re-
treshments were dispensed rallied the
whole population. One man appeared
from behind barn, another from a
field, third from gulch; in fact, they
seemed to rise up out of the ground !:

on the bar near by and listened
intently to the talk. II suppose your

Whar did you git it?"
Apropos of frontier manners is an
incident which can be located, as well as
anywhere. at Kurtzville, log town of
seventeen saloons, one store and one

of the stage coach, and, entering one of
the saloons, asked politely for little
sherry in wine-glass. The bar-keeper
glared at him for a moment, then
reached for a six shooter and pointing
it at the terrified traveller shouted;
" Now, 1 tell you, tender foot, you take
whisky. You take it in lineup, and
you like it" The stranger took the
whisky in the lineup, asserted that it
was the best he ever drank, and made
haste to get back to the coach.-E. "

Gambling in the United States.

While lotteries and some of the old
phases are not much practiced in this
country, still it is true that Americans
wager money in other ways. We spec
ulate in stocks, grain and provisions.
During the last ten years certain sec
ton of our population have been MAX
ing bets on their favorite horses. Dur
ing the past year enormous sums have
been lost and won on the turf, SO called,
though really there is no turf in this
country. There is no form of gambling
SO silly as betting on horses. It is well
known that the hackers of the "favor-
lite" are sure TO lose in the long run. In
other words, the horses which are picked
out by the very shrewdest turfmen are
those On which the most money is lost.
The national and State authorities should
do something to check gambling on the
race course, which is fast becoming an
evilof immense magnitude. -Demaorest
