RUNNING A LOCOMOTIVE.
An Old Fireman's Experience with an In
competent Engine Man.


competent Engine-Man.
The danger of running on an engine
handled by an incompetent engineer
or a man who has remained at some
other business long enough to get rusty
is not fully understood by the travel
ing world. had an experience of that
kind that drove me off the road and
into more pleasant lines of labor. The
Iowa Legislature passed a law in 1877,
holding all railroads responsible in
heavy amounts for loss of life or in
juries incurred in their service, and to
Offset the liability the railroad adj
dressed circular to all employees
asking them to relinquish their claims
One morning l had fired up as usual
and run the engine around to await the
freight which we were to take west from
Burlington. Before the hour an agent
stepped up and asked the engineer to
sign the agreement. He refused and
was discharged on the spot. A new
man was put in the cab. He had an
engineers license, and every thing
looked straight, so far as papers went.
During the talk my fires had run down,
so filled in coal until steam was hiss
ing out of the safety valve, and then |
opened the furnace door. Having taken
our train, an hour later we were spin
ming along nicely when l turned to feed
the fire. Throwing open the door OBJ
served the crown-sheet and rivets show
ing through the fire-box, and looked IN
at the gauge only to find that we were
running with a dry boiler. yelled I'd
my partner, and he started out on the
running board with hammer in one
hand. The pump had stopped work
ing. The new man struck the metal
gently to loosen the plunger. That's
all / saw. | started over the coal in
the tender, and, climbing up on the
side of the first car, was not long in
putting twelve or fifteen cars between
me and that engine. Reaching the
caboose and sitting on the cupola, |
waited for the explosion, If that fool
with his hammer had succeeded in
starting that pump he would hay, gone
into eternity the next second, for the
boiler was at white heal. wasn't in
suicidal frame Of mind, and that's
why lit out. But the old adage about
fools and children proved true, for
that engineer had to stop, draw the
fire and wait for relief engine. We
had only run fifteen miles, but the
damage in half an hour took three
months to repair.-St Louis Globe

She Wouldn't Be Conquered.

An old-fashioned Yankee of Quaker
stock, who ran shoe factory in New
England, INDUCED in a theory that a
moral wrong was somehow perpetrated
upon the community if woman were
allowed to earn above the stipulated
sum each week. As the help was paid
by the piece, and he had to keep tally
in the main with current prices, he
found this rather hard to manage at
times. The swiftness of one young
woman especially troubled him. She
would persist in running financially
ahead of the others. At last he made
a special cut-down in her prices, and
told her why he did it. She gave him
baleful glance, frightened her lips,
and went on working. BY Saturday
night next, despite the cut-down, she
made ten cents above the week before.
Another week Went by, when he cut
her down still more. The damscl still
proved game and rose to the occasion.
After a week or moro the Quaker con-
science grew scared and asked her
what she meant ut MEANS" said the
girl, that you may keep on and I'll
keep on till you have corpse on your
hands in this workroom, for I'm grit
and you can't conquer mel" The race
ended there. and the girl was allowed
normal pay.-M y Post

When they called she entertained them

STYLES IN UMBRELLAS.
Elaborate Designs for Handles Originated
by Americans.

1t may often puzzle person where
all those new styles in umbrellas and
parasols come from which are constant
ly thrown on the market here. They
flourish, more or less, for a few brief
months, and then they disappear for
ever The representative of the big
gest umbrella house in the country
the latter located in Indianapolis-said
on that point to the Stroller: "Ameri-
can manufacturers have freed them
selves completely from the thralldom
of foreign styles in the matter of UNI
brellas. AS to parasols, no. Two
Philadelphia houses keep some agents
constantly employed in Europe picking
up the newest kinks in style in ad-
vance. They have to exercise great
judgment and discretion, however,
and must understand the bent
of the American ladies' taste
to perfection, otherwise they are
said to make mistakes which would
cost their employers thousands Of dol
lars and them their good jobs. Many
styles in parasols which become the
rage in Europe will not sell here at all.
You see, in the matter of parasols such
weighty questions as complexion,
climate, prevailing style of dresses,
etc. have to be considered, and an
error as to one of these points will
make parasol unstable. Women of
means want a parasol to match each
dress, you know. Then the question
comes up whether they will have silver
tips or gold ones, black ribs or white
and big or little handles. AS to UNI
brellas now. our native manufacturers
show both more taste and ingenuity in
inventing styles. No such elaborate
designs for handles, nor such original
conceptions, are to be Ben in London
or Berlin shops as you may find in any
first-class store in New York or
Chicago. And our American men
seem to be willing to spend more
money on costly fanciful article
in umbrellas, than do the foreign
gentlemen of means. Why, it's moth
ing unusual for an American club
man to lay out from $40 to $50 for a
really fine and costly-handled UNI
brella. - hicGqO Journal.

A POPULAR INDUSTRY,
"A Manicure Talks UnreservedIy About His
Peculiar Trade.

"A Manicure Talks UnreservedIy About His
Peculiar Trade.
A professional manicure, who has
made a small fortune in the practice of
his peculiar profession in this city for
the past ten years, delivered himself
thus pointedly in relation to his peculiar
art.
LESS than fifteen years ago mani
curing was an unheard of industry in
this country, and it was impossible to
procure the implements necessary to
its practice anywhere but in Paris
Now there are few towns so small that
they have not at least one manicure
and no druggists stock is complete
without a supply of the requisites to
the care of the finger-nails. Doubt
less the present practice is preferable
to the old style pen-knife butchery, but
it is questionable whether our women
and dudes have not let the customary
American excess creep into this as into
most other vices and virtues that we
import from abroad.
Civilization eliminates from the uses
for the hands certain things which
would make the growth of nails none
too great for the natural wear and tear
ION them, and, therefore, cutting or fill
ing them as they grow too long is an
actual necessity. To produce an agree
able result from this process is desir-
able from an aesthetic point of view.
That the sharply-pointed and highly
polished nail prescribed by the profess
sional manicure as the professional
thing is either agreeable to the eye or
in good taste is doubtful. OF course it
is to the interest of the professional
manicure to foster the art.
Taken by itself the finger-nail is not
altogether lovely object. There is in
it suggestion of our animal nature
and origin. As an unobtrusive portion
of a shapely hand, it is not objectona-
BILE, but the present object of manicur-
the utmost conspicuousness. Nature
has provided the nail with a soft, dead
luster, which the manicure surplants
with patent-leather polish. To this is
added point. suggestive of the beast
of prey, and barbarous shipping OF
the skin surrounding the nail
Good taste would suggest that in
stead of q point the object aimed at
should be graceful curve, and common
sense teaches that the skin-snapping
process be avoided altogether. The
popularity of American fashions seems
to be that it imports from other coun-
tries only tho more senseless of their
fashionable customs, and we are more
likely to follow the Chinese, of letting
the nails grow so long that they have
to be worn in ornamented cases than to
initiate the Chinese or any other
foreigners in the sensible things which
tend to make life simpler and easier. "

DIDN'T GO DRY.


Nhoh a ltSoiioS hOlC
the Ground.
A man who had gone to Tennessee
to buy stock farm, after looking at a
place which seemed to suit him. asked:
Does this spring 90 dry?"
mo, sir" said the owner of the
place. Il have been living in this
neighborhood for thirty years and have
never known that spring to go dry"
The prospector bought the farm. Six
months afterwards he sought the man
who had sold it to him, and asked
a want to tell you that you are an
old liar"
Il don't know what you mean, sir. :"
II bought stock farm from you
about six months ago."
Eyes, sir, that's fact"
Il asked you if certain spring ever
went dry?"
"Yes, believe you did"
"And you told me that it did not?"
ayes, remember
But, SIT, it is as dry as a powder
horn"
''Walt minute. told you that tho
spring didn't 90 dry?"
eyes, you did"
"And you say there's no water
there?"
Not drop"
"Well, then, it's not spring. When
any thing goes dry it is not spring,
but simply a hole in the ground. Web
ster tells us that spring is stream
of water flowing out of the ground,
and if there is not water flowing out of
the ground at the place which you
designated, why, it is not spring. If
you had asked me if the water gave
out l might have told you yes, but as it
was was compelled to yield to an i'm
pulse of truth and say that the spring
did not go dry. Sorry you are dissatis-
fed with the farm. You ought to
be a little more explicit. "-Arkansaw
