An Extraordinary Occurrence on Rail-
way.

The occurrence on the Holyhead line
of the driver and stoker of train fall
ing asleep while on duty and the extra
ordinary escape of the Irish mail last
week was even more serious than was
reported. 1t would appear that the
signalman at Llandudno saved the Irish
mail passengers on Tuesday night from
what might have proved terrible fate.
The signalman at the junction received
a message from the signalman at Con-
way, the next station toward Holyhead
that a light engine was coming. The
junction signalman, knowing that the
Irish mail was due, decided to run the
engine into siding in order to permit
the express to pass. He accordingly
put up all the si'nals against the light
engine; but to extreme establishment
the engine ca traight into the june
ton at full sp, swept round the cor
ner, dashing past all the danger signals
and disappeared from view down the
line toward Chester. A moments re-
Election convinced the signalman that
both driver and stoker must be asleep.
He accordingly wired to the Colwyn
Bay Station signalman: Engine COM
ing; driver asleep put fog signals on
line" The man at Colwyn Bay was
equally prompt, for, running out of his
box, he had hardly time to lay num-
Der of signals when the engine came
laundering along and an explosion fol-
lowed which eifectually awolle the men,
The engine was stopped and run back
into a siding, when it was discovered
that the fire had gone out, that the
water had disappeared from the boiler
and that the men had been asleep some
time. Inquiry resulted in their inn
mediate discharge. They had been
fifteen hours on duty.-St. James Gu
zetfa.

1t Didn't Hit.

There was chap on the boat who
lived at Jackson, Miss, and he was tell
ing us many anecdotes regarding the
negro population. Among others, he
had a friend who one day asked of an
aged darkey:
''Well, Colonel, what particular ossi-
fication has predominated over the
ramifications of latePn
The old man gave pull at his hat
with one hand, and scratched his head
with the other, and answered.:
"Wall, sab. l reckons dat was him
gwine down de road few minits ago
on top of mewln'
There was passenger from Rhode
Island who was greatly amused by these
anecdotes, and two or three times
afterward l caught him hunting in a
dictionary for big words and stringing
them together. When we arrived at
Natchez he was all loaded up. A lot
of us went up to see the town, and as
we gained the crest of the long and
dusty hill we met a colored woman on
her way down. Here was the chance
the smart Aleck had been waiting for,
and he halted her and demanded:
MADAM, have you systemized the
disability of the precocious influenza
this morning?"
He was bowling and smiling, and she
looked thunder-struck. After a minute
she asked
whats dat you remark?"

whether you had ambuscaded the gi-
gantic verbosity," he continued.
mo, sab, l hasn't" she said as she
removed the basket from her head,
but lie gwine to right away!"
With that she brought him clip
with her hand on the ear, and followed
it up by a butt in the back that sprawled
him into the dust and left him gasping
like fish.
eff de verboshity wants emo mo- he
can foller me down to de levee!" she
remarked as she walked off; but he
didn't. He was dust from head to foot,
his humorous nature had evaporated,
and he got back to the boat to keep his
berth for the next eight hours The
negro is an odd coon at times, but there
are other times when the Gigantic
verbosity'' doesn't hit his funny-bone
within a rod.-DetroH Free Press.

"Some time ago it was stated in these
columns that novel experiment was
about to be tried in the Nebraska In
stitute for the Deaf and Dumb, at
Omaha. The semi-deaf children of the
institution were to be taught to hear by
the use of the audiphone. Recent re-
ports show that the experiment has
been a complete success. The method
consists mainly of object-teaching and
an exaggerated plain pronunciation of
words by the teacher, whose pupils
gradually become accustomed to the
sounds or words used to designate vari-
Gus objects; and in time they succeed
in hearing and pronouncing these words
themselves.
