Evolving n Story.

"Ah!" said Smith, a commercial
traveller, to a group of friends, II was
witness to a sight just before leaving
Chicago" And then he told how he
had seen q poor German immigrant with
his wife and family of eight yellow hair
cd children, how he had become inte-
rested in them, and had learned that
they had left their native land to seek q
home in the Northwest. He was touched
by the tenderness Of the father and saw
him purchasing apples for the children.
All the family except the father had
taken their seats on the train and he was
Just making change ON the platform for
his small purchase when the train began
to move ont of the station. He made a
rush for it, slipped, and then. before
the eyes of the poor family and other
horror-struck passengers, his head was
taken off by the cars.
Smiths friends were much affected
and it was decided to take up a purse
for the poor widow and fathcrless child
ren, and this was speedily done and a
neat sum was presented to Smith to be
forwarded. He, with tears in his eyes,
said:
"My friends. I thank you, but I can
conceal it no longer. That train took off
the rest of the man, and he still lives"
Smith will not travel this week. He
is laid up for repairs. -Detroit Free

the fact that water in motion will re-

the length of the copper rod can be, adj
justcd so that before. the temperature
reaches the point at which there would
be danger of the water in the pipes
freezing, the valve will be opened to al
low a flow of water; beyon this point
the valve opening will increase and the
flow become more rapid as the cold be-
comes more intense, and as the tempera-
turc rises the valve is closed. This plan
sets up a current in the pipes, which re-
places the water as it grows cold by the
warmer water from the main. Whether
the valve be opened or closed, the service
pipes are always in working order.
