Why Ma gil-li-cud-y Is to Be Allowed to

True Story.
Whoa! Whoa!' called little boy,
but the bonny horse did not stop. He
did not turn his head, or even seem to
hear. He kept right on his way up the
hill and down the hill, and on over the
high hill that all the folks living there
called mountain. and for every step
that the horse took the dog under the
wagon took two.
I did not tell you before that there
was dog under the wagon? There
was, and his name was Ma-gil-li-cud-y.
A very queer name it was, and Ma-gil-

This time there was no driver. Old

Language Of Compliment.

The common courtesies of intercourse
among people are always of interest,
for they disclose a great deal of native
character and cultivation. Rarely are
these carried to so high point of re-
finement as among the ladies of Quito.
A late American Minister to Ecuador
gives this specimen of a message sent
by one lady of that city to another:
60" she says to her servant, Ito the
Sonora So-and-So, and tell her that she
is my heart and the dear little friend
of my soul; tell her that l am dying for
not having seen her, and ask her why
she does not come to see me. Tell her
that have been waiting for her for
more than week, and that send her
my best respects and considerations;
and ask her how she is, and how her
husband is, and how her children are,
and whether they are all we'll in the
family. And tell her that she is my
little love, and ask her if she will be
kind enough to send me that pattern
which she promised me the other day."

A CURIOUS TRICK.
How a Large Egg Can BE Put in Com
paratively Small Bottle.

How Large Egg Can Be Put in Com
paratively Small Bottle.
A writer in the Rural NW Yorker
tells its young readers how they may
perform the magic feat of putting
an egg in bottle. Like many other
curious things it is easy enough when
you know how.
This is the way it is done: Soak
fresh egg for several days in strong
vinegar. The acid of the vinegar will
eat the lime of the shell, so that while
the egg looks the same, it will be soft
and capable of compression. Select
bottle with neck third smaller than
the egg. With little care you will
have no trouble in pressing the latter
into the bottle. Fill the bottle half-full
of lime-water, and in a few days you
will have hard-shelled egg in a bottle
with neck third smaller than the
egg. Of course, you pour off the lime
water as the shell hardens. How the
egg got into the bottle viii be a conun-
drum that few can answer.

a PHANTOM TRAIN.
A Lightning Express Train That Made No
Noise.

Noise.
Hanover IN. H. Special.]
John Saunders and Hiram Townsend
were riding home from this village last
night, when they came to crossing over
the railroad track.
''There's a train coming!' said Saunders,
pointing up the track in the direction of
East Berlin.
The men pulled the horses in by the side
of the track to let the train go by. 1t ap-
peared to be surrounded by thick mist,
although the night was clear and the stars
were shining. The engineer could be seen
looking out of the window of the cab, but
there was no noise as the train drew near.
The fireman kept pulling on the bell rope
as is customary when nearing a crossing,
but not sound came forth. The phantom
engineer was recognized by several parties
as Tom Williams, who was killed on this
section OF the road few weeks ago, while
running on the midnight express.

oiu People hHo" 81 llttle apOut young peO-
pie. One would think that they had never
been young themselves, but had been born
with spectacles on. 1t is dolorous for
young people to spend the three or four
hours of winters evening with parents
who sit talking over their own ailments
and misfortunes and the nothingness of
this world. How dare you talk such bias
phemy? God was busy six days in max
ing the world, and has allowed it to hang
six thousand years on his holy heart; and
that world hath fed you and clothed you
and shone on you for fifty years, and yet
you talk about the nothingness of this
world! Do you expect the young people
in your family to sit and groan about this
magnificent, star-lighted, sun warmed,
shower baptized, flower-strewn, angel
watched, God-inhabited planet? From
such homes young men make wild plunge
into dissipation. Many of you have the
means-why do you not buy them violin
or a picture? or have your daugh ter
cultured in music until she can help
to make home attractive? There
are ten thousand ways of lighting
up the domestic circle. 1t requires
no large income, no big house, no rich
wardrobe, no chased silver, no gorgeous
upholstery, but parental heart awake to
its duty. Have doleful home and your
children will not stay in it, though you
block up the door with Bibles and tie fast
to them million catechisms. said to O

Ignatius Donneily tells story of one OF
his experiences when stumping the state
before his second election to congress,
which, although it has been told b. Gail
Hamilton in her Wool Gathering" will,

carry his audience with him, Mr.. Don
nelly, to his surprise and vexation,
noticed one evening when he was speak
ing before a large audience about thirty
men seated in the center of the hall who
did not respond in the least to his efforts.
He told his most capital stories and
brought forward his most telling points
in his best manner, and all to no purpose.
He grew anxious, and exercised his pow
ers TO the utmost TO stir these unimpressi-
BILE men, but without success. This was
new experience for him, and he won

He could not rest until he had instituted

If a man wants to learn how To eat

can business man generally is said to
swallow his meals without any effort at
mastication, and some remarkable feats
in that direction have been reported, but
I'll bet my weeks wages that we can beat
the record. Some times we have seven or
eight minutes, but you can safely call it
four on an average. You see, near the
end of the line the conductor drops off on
one trip and the dryer next, gets his
meal and catches the car as it comes
back. II is all done on schedule time.

three minutes to get the meal up and
