and arm. Her ehricksJwere. horrible. The
conductor on our train-who was the only
one around that had his wife about him-lm-
mediately broke one of the windows of the
car and two men were helped in to try to get
her out. Some wooden bars were handed to
the men, and they made one desperate effort
to get the woman out. Then the flames swept
around them, and the two men jumped out
of the windows. The conductor again came
to the rescue, and he shouted to the crowd to
bring water and to roll snowballs and to
throw them upon the flames, and every one
went to work.
"On one side of the place where the acci-
dent happened was the river; on the other
was large hill. Up this the men ran, and
gathering II little snow, would start down the
hill. BY the time they reached the bottom
they had large snowballs in their hands.

PeOpIe Who Whine.

There is class of persons in this
world by no means small, whose prom
inent peculiarity is whining. They
whine because they are poor, or if rich
because they have not health to enjoy
their riches I; they whine because they
have no luck, and others prosperity
exceeds theirs; they whine because some
friends have died and they are still
living; they whine because they have
aches and pains, and they have aches
and pains because they whine; they
whine, no one knows why.
Now word to these whining persons:
First. stop whining-it is of no use
complaining. fretting, fault finding and
whining. Why, you are the most de.
luded set of creatures who ever lived
Do you know that it is we'll settled
principle of physiology and common
sense that these habits are more exhaust
ing to nervous vitality than almost any
other violation of physiological law ?
And do you know that life is pretty
much as you make itP You can make it
bright and sunsbiny, or you can make
it dark and shadowy. This life is meant
only to dicipline us-to fit us TO, a
higher and purer state of being. Then
stop whining and frettipg, and go on
your way rejoicing.

Life Among the New Work Tenements.

The interval between the close OF
working hours and nightfal afford the
best opportunity for learning some
thing of the crowded condition of tho
tenement district. Beginning shortly
after six o'clock, nm apparently endless
procession of lahoring men and women
and children is moving along t!e side
walk on either side of every street..
Making due allowance fer those who
are fastening toward the East river
ferries, it is almost impossible to be-
]ieve that nearly all of these per ons
find room in which to sleep and take
their meals without going further than
they can walk, going to their work and
returning; but within an hour this flood
of humanity has subsidized, and the num-
ber of persons on the sidewalks is no
greater than at other hours of the day.
The vast number have found shelter in
rooms opening from the dark halls that
lead up through four and five stories of
the great tenements. Then the win
dows, row upon row, begin to be
lighted UP, and tenement house life is
shown in another aspect. A fair idea
of the swarms OF persons housed in this
district may be gained by waking
through the streets, then entering one
VI blit IcstI IlOuSCS anu SOihS W tliC lNhI
from which countless rear windows may
beseen lighted, ,ana remembering that for
tach light there is q household. From
such point of view the observer looks
down upon an apparently boundless
pile of bricks, hollow within, and filled
from cellar to roof with humanity; and
the wonder grows upon him that the
vitiated air rising from the nosirils OF
so many breathers does not befoul the
atmosphere to the very clouds, so that
birds attempting to fly across shall fall
suffocated, as they are sad to fail into
the sulphurpus craters of slumbering
volcanoes. That so many persons sleep
tier upon tier, through the night. and
have strength to make their way out
when morning comes, seems almost like
a perpetual contradiction of the nice
calculations as to the amour of air re-
quired to sustain life in person for g
given period. .--Neto York Sun.

Pncking Eags

Any material used for packing must
be perfectly sweet and dry. If at all
musty or damp it will impart bad
flavor to the eggs. Chaff should never
be used (; clean oats or fine cut hay are
probably the best materials. Place two
or three inches of the material at the
bottom of the package, then q layer OF
eggs with the end toward the side OF
the package, but not touching the side
by an inch or more then put on several
inches of packing, pressing down gently
with follower-remove all but an inch
in depth of the packing and put in
another layer of eggs in the same way
as the first, taking care that packing is
pressed between the ends of the eggs
and the side of the package, and so con-
tinue until the last layer is in, which
should be covered with at least two
inches of packing and an inch of hay,
and the cover of the package pressed
down closely. Eggs packed in this way
can be transported long distances with
out injury.
