The Engineers Dream.

An old locomotive engineer sat in the
smoking car talking with the brakeman
and some other railroad men. One of
them asked him if he'd ever fallen asleep
on his engine, and he replied:
Yes; thousands of times, might say.
Perhaps not that many, but very often,
When I'm doing extra hours l fall asleep
Tor second or two, and then start as
wide awake as ever. I'm always dread
ing going to sleep, and suppose it's
that constant fear that has so disciplined
my mind that | no sooner lose conscious
ness than | give sort of muscular iump
and am aroused in q jiffy. Taikine

and hadn't had any sleep for twenty-six.

a great long one, about an accident. A
train order was mixed up in it, and. as il
WASH quite clear, L remember how ]
studied over the words, it seemed to me-
Tor ten or fifteen minutes. There was {
collision: we struck and it threw me nj
IN the air thirty or forty feet clear O

and was wondering where I'd land anC
II any OF the passengers was killed. i
WASH very pleasant sensation, either
you can imagine. Then it seemed
come down, and, strange enough. landed
night on my seat, with my left hand OF
the throttle. At that very instant ]
woke, and it seemed so real that for q
second L could hardly realize that there
hadn't been any collision and hadn'
been up in the air. Well, that dream
was full of details, and good deal O
time appeared to elapse between its be
ginning and its ending; but when ]
looked out my window I'll be cussed i
there wasn't the switch-ight of Utica

Women as CuItivatOrS.

Miss Emily Faithful, who was re-
Gently in California, wrote to the Lon
don papers on the subject of the employ
ment for women there. She says there
are several industries open there to edu-
Gated women. "For instance, at Fres-
no, about 100 miles from the Yosemite
Valley, I found tract of land occupied
by four ladies, who had been school
teachers. Five years ago they entered
into partnership and planted alfalfa
patches and a vineyard, also an orchard
of apricots, nectarines and almond trees.
The process of raisin-making is simple,
but before I visited Miss Austin's vine.

Cuban ReyOlutIOnists.

A dispatch from Havana says Re.
ports from all parts of the island describe
the situation as daily growing worse.
New bands are reported to have risen.
The government will soon be obliged tc
fight such n number of scattered parties
of bandits that the troops available will
be insufficient. A feeling of distrust
and alarm is spreading. Emilianc
Nunez is being court martialed in q
Cuban fortress. Many people, fearing
that they will be shot down like Other
suspected individuals, have disappeared
from their homes.
There is great excitement in Havana
on account of General Aguero's reported
departure from Key West. All the men.
of-war, tugboats and steam craft in and
about Havana have received troops on
board and have proceeded to different
points on the Cuban coast, which is be
ing patrolled in hopes of capturing the

A Bold Robbery.

Society in London is somewhat
amused and very much scandalized at
the daring robbery of DR.. Bull Run
Russell's wedding presents. Every one
knows that the celebrated war CORE
spondent was married some weeks ago
in Paris to a charming italian lady.
Presents poured in on the popular
couple on the suspicious occasion.
These wedding gifts to the value of at
least SIS, 900, were left during the honey
moon in the safe keeping of a friend re-
siding in Eaton square, London. One
day shortly after a porter, wearing the
badges of his respectable trade upon cap
and collar, rolled cart to this lady s
door and explained that he was sent by
DR.. and Mrs. Russell for the boxes in
her charge. Alas, for unsuspecting
womanhood The lady gave up every
bit of property entrusted to her by the
bride and bridegroom. A day or two
elapsed without message. Reason of the
silence-they had not reached England
The plausible porter was thief.

Putting Walters on Roller Skates.

The Chicago Hotel Reporter has this
item: A novel and original idea is being
experimental on by the proprietors OF
the Paxton Hotel at Omaha. Having oh,
served the rapidity and ease with which
persons moved about on roller skates, il
occurred to the Kitchen Brothers, pro.
prietors of the Paxton, that possibly din
ing room walters, with the requisite
amount of practice, could Herewith
facilitate table service. With this end in
view the head waiter drilled his crew and
a few DAYS ago the first experiment was
made. A patron of the house writes MS
that with the exception of two or three Of
the boys who came down with the trays,
everything passed off well.
The proprietors declare their intention
of giving the scheme a thorough trial,
and the head waiter says he can and will
make a success of this new style of SER
vice. If the skates can be made noiseless
and the walters become expert skaters
we do not see why, Mt least in large din
ing rooms, the roller skates cannot be
made very useful. The project is at least
worth fair trial, and the proprietors in
question are to be commended for taking
the initial step towal n possible improve
ment of dining room service.

Asking for Divorce for His Mother

The Denver Republican says: John
Mokri has taken a solemn oath that he
will not drink any intoxicating liquors
for year to come. Back of this little
episode is an interesting story. The JUS
tice was leaning back in his chair on
Wednesday evening, when his reveries
were broken by a sweet, small voice,
which said:
"Please, sir, we want divorce. -
Looking up, the judge deserted little
street Arab, who had noiselessly ap-
preached the judicial chair. The boy
was asked what he wanted with divorce,
and he replied that he wanted it for his
mother, and he then proceeded to tell a
story that was not very complimentary
to John Mokri. The urchin said Mokri
was his father, but that he was always
drunk, and that he abused his wife and
took the money earned by the speaker
and his brother by selling newspapers
and backing boots, and spent it for
drink. The little fellow said that he and
his brother had earned money enough to
purchase a small house and lot, and that
they now supported their father. The
judge heard their story and then referred
the little chap to the deputy district at
torney, who induced the youngster to
make complaint against his father for
vagrancy. 1t was on this charge that
Mokri was arraigned, and it was on his
promise to 'swear Off and "brace up
that the justice administered the oath.

Dutch Gap Canal.

The experiment of widening General
Buffers Dutch Gap Canal by means of
the hydraulic process, is pronounced a
success by the engineers under whom
the work is being carried on. The canal
is now used by nearly all the craft going
to Richmond up the James river, and it
will soon be able to admit of the passage
of the largest seagoing vessels. 1t cur
tails the route to that city by five miles
and quarter. The widening process is
a new one, having been used in the Mis-
sissippi river recently for the first time
A steam pump at the shore forces water
from the river through hose, and the
stream is directed against the natural
walls of earth with such force as to I'M
dermine and wash them away. The cur
rent Of the James has been so strong
since the freshet as to carry the earth
washings to deeper water, thus pre- vent
ing the filling of the channel.
