Thrilling Experience Oh Street Ca,

Twas night on the horse ca.- ID " iiidv
weird, CHASTITY night. The pale moon
shone fitfully through the patches Of
dark clouds that ever and anon chased
each other over her face. 1t was the
hour when ghosts delight to prowl-
only, if any were abroad,i it would have
been necessary for them to have put on
their ulsters, for it was bitter cold The
billiards. biting blast whistled mourn
fully through the telegraph wires and
sung funeral dirge. 1T was sight such
as brave hearts quail at Not sound
was heard save the mournful song of the
blizzard and the rumble of the wheels
of the horse car. Suddenly the pale
moon hid her face behind cloud. Every
thing portended a storm. Disaster was
in the air. The Old Driver on the front
platform ceased to swear at the horses
He pulled his blanket tighter about his
body and piled the whip in silence and
the ear sailed along through the mud
and slush with renewed speed. 1t be-
came dark-very dark. Asolitary pas
| senger sat in the corner, with his head
dropping upon his breast. He was tired.
He had been out with the boys.
Suddenly the Old Conductor started
He glanced nervously at the heavens.
nothing was visible but q canopy OF in
tense darkness. Not a CLEAN of light
! was to be seen in the windows of the
rows of houses. Not man was in sight.
They were alone, the Old Conductor and
the solitary passenger. Suddenly a cold
blast of wind swept into the half-opened
door and seized upon the oil lamp. There
was a sputter of tame, as il in angry
I protest, and then it expired. The car
was darker, gloomier and more ghast-
" than ever. The Old Conductor hest
/ tated no longer He cleared the space
! between the door and the solitary pas
! senger with stride, and in an instant
| stood before the sweetly-sleeping man,
/ A smile crept over the sleeper's face
Perhaps he was dreaming of home. II
was beautiful sight, but it had no ef-
feet upon the hardened conscience o.
the Old Conductor. He paused but s
moment, and then, Selling the solitary
passenger by the shoulder, shrieked il
the startled sleepers ear:
"Gimme a chaw o tobacker!"
Il amt got none,h was the sweet re
Spouse, and the solitary passenger
head again dropped on the solitary pas
senger's breast and the tired man wa
again asleep.
| The Old Conductor turned painfully
away and strobe back to the platform
and the car kept right along on thu
course, just as if nothing had happened
And the blizzard whistled just as mourn
fully, and the sleepers in the bricl
/ houses slept just as peacefully, and no
one of them knew the momentous even
which had Just occurred in the lives o

Says the Salisbury AdUertiSer: 1.-THE
most remarkable occurrence we ever
heard in connection with hogs has hap
pened to one belonging to Mr.. j. Shelby
Goslee, near Delmar 1t was large
animal and very fat, weighing at least
800 pounds. About the last of Novem-
Der Mr. Goslee noticed that it had stop
ped eating. For two weeks it ate moth
ing and then seemed to recover its
health. About that time a small crack
in its skin was observed along the side.
Then a similar one appeared on the
other side, and then one on its neck.
These cracks extended gradually, and
the skin appeared to be getting loose.
The process continued until about
week ago, when on going to the pen,
Mr.. Goslee was astonished to find the
skin lying in one place and the hog,
alive and well, in another An inch of
fat was still adhering to the cast-off
coat, and the whole weighed thirty three
pounds. The skin on the legs and
head remained on the hog The ami
NAL is now in excellent health, and q
new skin is beginning to form"

And cent the train from the iron rail;

New York society, so it is written has
decided that when agentleman and lady

the other should bow. The old rule that
the gentleman should wait for the recog.
milton OF the lady, is declared obsolete.
The lady, however, still retains the priv
ilege of not noticing the gentleman il
she feels so inclined that is. after he has
taken off his hat, She may cut him if she
wants TO- Wen, perhaps it is the best
plan. Under the old usage, the gentle
man could never be satisfied when a

Too Big.

They were seated on the sofa-that is,
he was sitting on the sofa and she had
kneesy position on his lap. They
weren't talking, for he had seemed sad
during the three hours and fifty min
utes they had been sitting there. A
sigh, sounding as IL it had been drawn
out with cork screw and broke off with
a sledge hammer, broke the awful still
ness. She clasped her sixteen-button-
kid-glove arms around his tifteen-and a.
half neck and planted crop of kisses
on his downy lip.
"Why does my darling sigh?" she
asked.

"Well, if you are not false, prove it, "
he said.
"Give me the test" she replied with

Silk Handkerchiefs and Sore Threats.

Sore throats vanish when encircled in
a silken kerchief. This is established be-
vond peradventure. The grandmothers
knew all about this hundred years
ago. They believed, too, that silk
would cure all other diseases, and some
of them thought it would heal broken
leg ''if only taken in time. We do not
90 so far as that, but we know that silk
will absorb and store electricity as
readily as Leyden jar. 1t forms an
essential curtain for the electric cylin-
der, and rubbed with quicksilver, has q
mysterious power that imparts force to
its retention. The curative force of silk
is due to its electricity, and the medical
faculty recommend silken hose and
shirts for a thousand diseases. As we
are not professional, we only take silk
by the throat, and know its wonderful
powers. We will give a sure recipe:
When YOU have the throat trouble, give
a nice. clean silk handkerchief to Your
sweetheart with a request to tie it
around your neck. If you are not cured
or choked by tender hands we have
made a mistake, The more expensive
the kerchief the surer the cure, because
your pet takes so long TO examine the
quality and get just right. so it won't
hurt Try it and 90 home cured. We
expect silk handkerchiefs will advance
in price when this matter is under
stood Dry Goods Bulletin.
