Hanging 10 the Oafside Of .
Locomotive Going Forty
Miles an Hour.

Last week at Crozet Station, on
the Chesapeake d. Ohio Railroad, L.
c. Morton, general agent Of the
Staunton Life, was invited by the
engineer of the fast express to ride
on the engine thirteen miles to Char
louisville, and see how the fast train
went over a smooth track. Before
the train had gone a mile, however,
the blast of the engine got out of fix
and great volume Of fame and
smoke burst out of the fire box, en-
veloping everything. The clothing
of the engineer and fireman took fire
and they were driven out of the cab
back on to the tender. The engin-
eer's clothing being oily was burn
ing fiercely and he snatched off the
top of the man-hole of the tank and
jumped down into the water. Capt.
Morton climbed out of the cab win
dow and chung on to the outside of
the engine, which was flying along
at the rate of forty miles an hour.
The situation all around was most
perilous; but the engineer after
quenching his burning clothing
scrambled out Of the water. rushed
into the flame and held there until
he could get hold of the lever and
reverse his engine.-This soon slack
ened the speed, the train was stop
ped, and the fire was extinguished
with water from the tank. The in
terror Of the cab was badly burned
and the cushion on which Capt.
Morton had been sitting was burned
up. The face and hands of the en-
gineer and the fireman were badly
scorched, as were Capt. Morton's.-

THE MODEL HUSBAND.
A Woman Who Thinks That Marriage
Is Not a Monologue, But a Dialogue.

A Woman Who Thinks That Marriage
Is Not a Monologue. But Dialogue.
A clever French woman, writing to
the husband of friend, piquantly
puts the question thus:
You, sir, have supposed yourself a
model husband, and in many respects
you were one. Nevertheless, YOU have
one point in common with the great
mass of your brethren, namely, to
form very precise idea of the duties
which marriage imposes on your wife
and verv vague idea of those which
it imposes on yourself. Marriage is
not monologue. but dialogue
You have studied only one part, and
that not your own part. You are too
sincere, sir, not to admit that your
conception of marriage was simply
this: to add to the customary satisfac-
tons of your life an agreeable &C
cessory in the person of a worthy and
graceful woman who would adorn
your house, would perpetuate your
name, and would bring you, in short,
without much trouble, an increase of
comfort and responsibility. You, like
all your sex, would ike to findi in Paris
or in the provinces or abroad,
that marvellous woman who would
make all the sacrifices and require
none of you. You have not found
her. and no one will find her, for this
rare bird that you all dream of-the
family woman-implies a bird rarer
/ yet-the family man. What do | mean
by family man? tits not man who
works tapestry sitting al the feet of hi:
+ wife, who arrsnges the bill of fare,
writes the invitations, places the lamps

AMERICAN CHURCHES.
A Plea for Less Decorative Illusions and
More Solidity and Durability.

A Plea for Less Decorative Illusions and
More solidity and Durability.
However well-planned our churches
are-and many Of them are admirably
arranged and excellently planned
their interiors suffer by the same de.
fects as the external design. Repose,
dignity and simplicity are rare quail
tiles. Gaudiness and over-decoration
are frequent, every inch of wall space
being tormented with stenciled orna-
mentation, often in loud and inhar-
monious colors. The different parts
of the decoration ofttimes neutralize
each other, and give no rest or salts
faction to the eye. Sometimes, on the
other hand, these interiors are pain
fully bare and white, cold and dazzling
to the eye. To steer between these
two evils-to secure richness without
ostentation, or simplicity without bare
ness-is not easy, nor is it often DONE
Fortunately, ambitious flights into the
domain of igure-painting are rarely
attempted; for the failure is apt to be
deplorable and ludicrous.
Far less excusable, however, than
merely artistic faults, is the prevalence
of sham in the construction of our
churches. One would imagine that
here, at least, honesty and sobriety
should prevail. And yet there is no
class of buildings, except theaters,
where limitations and shams are SO
general. Sanded wooden pinnacles on
stone spires and buttresses; sanded
wooden cornices and baiustradcs;
cheap pine pews and wainscoting
painted and grained to simulate costly
woods; brick columns plastered to re-
semble stone, and lath and plaster
vaulting, pretending to be of masonry
these are all so common as to be al.
most matters of course. They are used
to produce a false impression of rich
ness and beauty, just as vain woman
wears paste jewelry; and there i:
little difference between the two
motives. Does it never occur tC
our churches that it is morally
wrong thus to pretend to wealth
and resources that do not existp AnC
yet, did they but know 1t, the eye
gains far more satisfaction from a sim
Pile, well-proportioned, honestly-buil
interior. where all is solid and genuine
than from a richly-decorated interior
where all is fraud of stucco and paint
Their search after beauty is in tn,
wrong direction. since it ignores tn,
principle that the highest beauty il
architecture is based on good construc
ton. A great reform is here necessary
the builders tricks and the decorator
illusions must be suppressed. Solidity
durability, permanence, resistance t,
the ravages of fire and time, must b
recognized as essentials in church build
ing, and far more important than mucl
gliding and '.frescoing." Until tn
moral principle involved is recognized
these disreputable frauds and sham
will continue. Prof a. A. +. Hdnalil
