A Quartette OF Surprises.

From the Scranton Pa Republican.
This anecdote comes from shiokshinny: A
quite well known man there had long been
lmportuned by his daughter to Duy her a silk
dress for her birthday. He had refused 10
promise II. She and her mother were one day
looking for eggs in the barn, and found under
4 heap OF straw neatly done up package
dress pattern, and both concluded that the
father intended TO surprise the daughter with
u on her birthday. The secoRd surprise was
the FAILURE OF the father 70 produce the dress
on the birthday. The third surprise came
when mother and daughter found he package
gone from under the straw. The fourth and
eliminating surprise came later, when, a.
mother aud daughter were sitting upon the
front porch one afternoon, they saw a lady OF
their acquaintance 60 by the house wearing a
new silk dress OF precisely the same pattern
AS that which had been examined in the
package under the straw in the barn, A
quartette OF surprises like these seldom comea
into the experience Of families

Recent statistics show that in 1884 the
number Of boiler explosions in the United
States was 1852, being less than in the pre-
vious year. There were 254 persons killed
and 26l injured In them, however. and the
number is much larger than it should be.
Fifty-six of the explosions took place in
sawmills, where the so-cslled engineer
finds too faclle fuel in shayings. Men
chosen for such positions, says the New
York Sun, should have the gumptiou to
perceive that such firing generates steam
too rapidly for safety. These people can
reduce the general death rate If they wish,
and can especially reduce the present
high percentage of mortally among saw
mill engineers.
