Help them! OF course. The station
master ran to the engine which was
with the train in the station. and said:
''Uncouple and go after the engine,
or we shall have fearful accident Be
quick!'
The fireman Cor ''stoker," as some
people call him) had already begun to
loose the engine. His driver had
thought of running after the runaway
engine. too. So in a moment the
"Lion" (that was the engines namel
was ready. Then there was chase!
the "Lion" after the Panther"
The Panther" was q goou way in

the rails to the same line and ran after
him. The man in the signal-box put
the signals at danger; the red arms
on the post would stop any more trains,
and he telegraphed: IA runaway en-

after him. going tender in front. The
Panther was running engine in
front, so the two tenders would be to-
gether when the engines united, like
two birds tail to tail. The ''Lion" was
going much faster than the Panther
so it was not long before the "Lion's'F
tender touched the other, and ran ON
with it, pushing it.
Then the driver of the "Lion'>
climbed along the tender, holding to the
rod which you see runs round tenders,
and stepped from one to the other.

tender, and reached the foot plate.

was stopped at the same time by its
fireman, who remained on it. The
drivers strong hand easily shut the
stiff handle which the boys could not
move.
They came back safely, none the
worse. But great deal of trouble en-
sued. The driver and fireman of the
"Pather' were fined for not looking
after their engine. The foreman of the
yard was sent away for not being at

by their parents, and not allowed on
engines any more until they were made
firemen on goods trains. Jenny was
punished, too, for going on the engine;
while the men of the Lion were re-

BY their quickness and the signal
mans action an accident was prevented.
But the two lads were always very
careful in future, when they rose to be
engine-drivers, as they did in after
years; and they never permitted any
stranger to ride on their engines. for
they too well remember the danger
they had incurred themselves in that
run when the Panther" got loose

the Interesting ana Charming way In
which Woman Puts on . Bonnet.
'sDid you ever notice how a woman
puts on a bonnetp" asked an irreverent
friend not long ago.
''Nop Then you have missed the en-
jovment Of most interesting perfor-
nance. When a man dons his head
piece he merely claps the cover over \
his brows, with as little consideration

"But wait bit" he continued, reck-
lessly. "Now she advances toward
the mirror, holding the delicate trifie
before her, after the manner in which
careful housewife carries pan full
to the brim of hot fat. Arrived at the
looking glass, she releases one ear of the
bonnet, and with the disengaged hand
deity brushes her front hair. Then
her hand resumes hold of the bonnet,
and the fellow-hand in its turn pays
attention to the clustering locks on its
side of the house. Now both hands
have the bonnet in their gentle grasp.
The fair creature looks into the glass,
and remarks, apologetically, that her
hair isn't fixed. She feels that 1t Is her
duty to exhibit that bonnet in the most
favorable manner. She has no excuses
to make for its shortcomings; it has
none. It is herself alone and always
her hair, that is responsible for any
thing short of perfection when the nup-
tial knots shall bo tied under her chin
and the bonnet and herself shall be one
glory.
"And still she hasn't it on her head
yet?' said I, not wholly mortified.
"Ah, no; she raises the airy nothing
aloft; her chin protrudes; her hand
oscillates; she cranes her neck and
lunches her shoulders while she ad-
jMsts the bonnet astride her pug and
settles it down carefully upon its hair
sub-couch. 1t is now exactly as it
should be. There is no guesswork
about it. Square, level and plump
could not be more precise in results.
Up goes her rounded chin; the strings
are tied without the slightest wrinkling
of the ribbon; the ends are brushed out
with delicate sleight-of-hand; the
bows are picked out fiat and square,
not too flat nor too square-and long,

through the bow, its point, naked and
unguarded. protruding from the thither

RICE.THROWiNG.


The Dangerous Side OF IN Ancient and
Popular wedding CustOm. s''--'-'''
Opinions differ among the learned as
to why rice, of all things. is thrown at
.'two young lovers lately we'd" Some
regard it as feigned hostile attack,
in which light they also regard the
throwing of old shoes. But there is
evidence to show that old shoes are
thrown on other occasions. merely for
''luck." and where there is no survival
of an attack. Thus 1t is recorded in
''Great Expectation" that Joe and
Biddy threw an old shoe after Pip when
he left them to seek his fortune. As to
rice-throwing, again, the custom can
not be earlier than the use of rice in
this country. Now the author of q
French work on 1.-The Kingdom of
Maoassar, published at the end of the
seventeenth ceutdry, found that rice
was thrown out of the back windows
of the house all day during a marriage
In Macassar. The bride and BRIDE
groom were not petite !; tho object was
70 distract the attention of the envious
svil spirits., Lett to their own devices,
the evil spirits might have played all
sorts OF practical Jokes, might have
carried tho bridegroom OF bodily
to the chamber OF the Princess Of
Persia. or conveyed the bride to tho
arms of the Prince of Bagdad, or
Of q hump p-backed groom. How the
rice affected the demons Is not very
obvious. An acute observer has divided
the practices of savage religion into
''spirit-scaring" and "spirit-squaring."
Were the Macassar bogies scared or
squared, frightened or bribed, by the
showers of rioee This is question
for Mr. Herbert Spencer; but either
hypothesis Is more plausible than the
common idea that rice is an emblem of
frpitfulness, and secures an abundant
crop Of olive branches.
Symbols and ceremonies are apt to
glide into realities. and realities into
symbols. The symbolic rice in Beth
nal Green was lately thrown, with such
hearty good will that 1t nearly put out
the..eye of one of the bridegrooms.

While 1t is not generally supposed
that the staid statesmen at the capital
are over-mnsical in their tastes, yet
there sre some who love to lay aside
the cares sof official work and bsthe
their souls in song. Among the mem-
bers of Congress Senator Hawley, of
Connecticut, is the best known singer.
He has fine baritone voice. which he
nses to excellent advantage. The Sem

favorites are some quaint old drinking

nigh inimitable.

to prefer even anarchy to the success of the
