RAILWAY ACADEMIA young
unmarried man named Joshua Har-
ner, was killed at Ridgeway, on the
Chicago & Northwestern railway,
last Friday, while enleayoring to
jump from the locomotive upon
which ne was firing While the
train Of flat and freight cars was
rolling along westward, a wheel I'M
der the tender broke, and q serious
wreck appearing unavoidable, young
Harner gave leap for life. His
action was fatal to him, however,
for as he jumped, the tender left the
track and the cars following, were
piled up in a heap where he alighted.
He was killed almost instantly. His
family is said to reside in Ohio. No
one else was injured; the engineer
remained the locomotive which
did not leave the track.

How a Clerk Eads His T1-ture.

Tho withdrawal of the ROthschilds'
agency from San Francisco, through the
retirement of Messrs. Gansl & Cullen,
recalls an anecdote connected with the
house of Rothschild, which will illus
trat the prompt manner in which the
bankers deal with employees. When the
Rothschilds decided on establishing an
agency on this coast they were for some
time in doubt as to who should accom-
pany Mr.. Davidson, who was detailed
for that purpose. Finally clerk No. l,
as we shall call him, was requested one
morning to step into the managers S
Office. Presenting himselfthere, he was
asked how long it would take him to
prepare for journey to California. He
wished to know where California was
and how long he should be required to
stay there. He was informed of the
locality of the hitherto unknown land,
and that lis residence there would be
indefinite, and to take time to consider
before answering. Pondering awhile,
he replied that he should require week
to pack up and say farewell to his
friends. Very WE'LL" said the head Of
the house, "you will be informed should
we decide on sending you" and so dis
missed him. Clerk No. 2, was sent for,
and the same questions and answers en-.
suing, asked for three days. He also in
like manner was dismissed, and No. g.
Summoned. On being questioned as tC
the time he required to prepare for the
long journey, his reply was, 81 am
ready now" VERY well, again replied
the banker, tomorrow you sail for Sar
Francisco, where you will be junior
partner in the house we are about t.
open there" The clerk who was read,
at a moments notice to take journey
to.the other side of the world was Juliu
May, and thus he laid the foundation o
the handsome fortune he now thorough
| ly enjoys.

A California Tree.

Menteur and myself were walking
TRANQUILITY up wooded ravine in Cal
ifornia whena woodman on the hillside,
some distance above us. took his pipe
out of his mouth, and TRANQUILITY re-
marked:
"Guess you fellers jest as well go
back"
1t is one of my rules in life never to
ask useless questions. | went back.
And in few moments l found Outwhy.
The sound of chopping and the swish
of the saw suddenly ceased, and long,
mournful cry rang through the woods.
1t was the warning note of the woodman.
The top of tall tree some distance
ahead of us began to tremble slightly.
There was an awful prolonged groan-
such groan as might come from the
hairy breast of the imprisoned giant be-
meath Mount Etna. Then came sharp
"crackr'as the mighty tree-trunk snap
ped. The tall monster slowly and ma
jestically moved toward the earth. There
was a terrible crash as it smote the
branches from its fellow trees-smiting
them as cleanly as with cimeter.
There was roar as of thunder when it
struck the ground; the earth trembled
for rods around, as if an earthquake
shock was upon us; cloud of dust rose
up, and when it cleared away the i'm
passive woodmen were stripping the
fallen giant of his limbs.
Inasmuch rs the tree fell upon the
exact spot we had occupied q moment
before, we understood and appreciated
the remark of the laconic woodman.
We watched the woodmen prepare an
immense log, about twelve feet in di.
ameter. They drove in the staple, and
then hitched to it twenty oXen-ten yoke.
The goad-bearer punched his animals,
swore at them in pleasant and per.
suasive voice, and then started. The
mammoth log groaned slightly, turned
reluctantly, and moved forward an incl
or two.
Ping! Whir-r-r-r!
The iron ring had snapped in twain
Its two fragments flew two differen
ways-one passing between the interest
ed heads of Menteur and myself. If i
had struck us we would have lost all in
terest in logs and other mundane things
Not having struck us, 1 maintained my
interest. I looked with much curiosit
to see what had become of the twent..
oxen. expected to see them out G
sight, as an Irishman might say, b
reason of the sudden slackening of tn
immense tension.
They were not out of sight, but the
were the most miscellaneous, most cor
fused, and most disgusted oxen l eve
saw in my life. They were engaged i
turning twenty distinct, complicated
and rapid somersets.

. his feet. But then Menteur is not mari
ed for his veracity.-Sam Francisc

Erp,rinents AZ a Paris Hospital.

Experiments al q Paris Hospital
Some remarkable results, according
TO NJ. Parrot. have been obtained at the
Hospital des Enfants-Assistes" of
Paris, in feeding delicate infants with
asses milk. Many of theinfants brought
TO that hospital have diseases which for
bid their being sucked by nurses, and
for these the bottle was resorted to; in
spite, however. of all possible care, the
endeayor TO foster such small vital force
as these children possessed proved Of
little avail, and direct application 10 the
udder of an animal presented the best
recourse. At first the infants were thus
fed with goats milk, but it was soon
found that asses milk was greatly pre-
ferahle, and all are now fed with that
one, two, sometimes even three infants
being held to the creatures udders at
once, the nurses doing this with great
ease, and the good results of the treat
ment being evident from the figures
given. Thus, during six months, eighty
six infants having congenital and con-
tagious diseases were treated in the hos
pital nursery; of the first six, fed with
cows milk in feeding-bottles, only one
was cured; of forty-two fed at the goat's s
udder, eight were cured, while thirty
four died; of thirty-eight fed at the ass
udder, twenty-eight have been cured,
while six have died.

A Dog Takes Trip Over the Falls.
Niagara Falls Gazette.]


Mr.. G.! Chorman has had in his
possession for time dog which, al
though by no means vicious, had be-
come addicted to barking at teams and
pedestrians as they passed along the
street, much to the annoyance of its
owner, who had tried to break him Of
the habit. Failing in his teaching,
Mr.. Chorman decided to put the dog
out of the way, and, thinkinga trip
over the falls the most effective, pro-
ceeded early Sunday morning, with
the assistance of one of his employees,
to drop him into the river from the
center of Goat Island bridge. Bid,
ding doggy goodbye as he foated
down the rapids he returned home;
but doggy would not have it that way
During the afternoon stranger, walk
ing across the new suspension bridge
observed dog under the bank, and
notified the gate keeper at the Ameri-
can end of the bridge, who with a glass
recognized the dog, and, knowing tha
he had been sent over the falls
notified Mr.. Chorman that the dog
was below the bank. Later in th'
day Mr.. Chorman went down the IN
clined railroad, but could not find thu
animal; but early the next morning hi
son VI ent down, and soon discovered
the dog, who seemed as frisky a
though nothing had happened. Al
at once the dog has become the hero Q
the hour, and will now be allowed t.
remain and live out the full measur
of his daYs.
