A PECULIAR BUGGY.

The Mean Trick They Played on Min
nesOta Journalist-Whv His and
His Girls Paths kind
er Separated"

One day half a dozen years ago l
was coming down on train from Win
nipeg, in the Queens DominiOns, to
Dakota. It was a freight train of forty
or fifty empty bOX-cars with a red
caboose on the back end for the few
passengers. The engineer was a wild,
reckless fellow, who had, think, been
drinking, and sometimes he spurted
the train up to between nine and ten
miles per hour. The timetable called
for only six, but this daredevil made
it average fully seven. He didn't alto
gether forget those things which were
behind and press forward, however,
because once between siding No. 46
and Big Portage he happened to drop
his pipe out Of his mouth while he had
his head out Of the cab window and
actually stopped and backed that long
train for fully three-quarters Of mile
looking for it. The conductor and
brakeman hung off the steps Of the
caboose and helped in the search. l
put my head out Of the caboose win
dow and looked, too, picturing a great
white meerschaum pipe lying on the
ground like a block of sea-fOam,
with Just a rich autumn amber
tint on the bowl When the con-
ductor picked it up I noticed
that it was clay and had a stem two
inches long. The engineer when he
took it admitted it wasn't worth much,
but he said it was one that Billy Hig-
gins, of Q'Appelle, had given him, and
he didn't want to lose it. He started
to tell how Billy happened to make
him the present, but the conductor
said that he had promised his wife to
be home early that night and reckoned
we had better shack along. So the
engineer went forward and we shacked.
went back and climbed up into the
"pilOt house of the cabOOse where I
had secured a seat by bribing one of
the brakeman with a noxious cigar.
This gave fine view of the country.
You could see fifteen miles to any of the
thirty-twO points of the compass-per-
haps further. The country was as flat
as a Congressional debate-It was in
the valley of the Red River of the
North. A long, lank man with thin
hair and hollow cheeks came and
climbed up in the cupola with me and
helped to abuse the scenery. He had

Moral Influence of Flowers.

That the love Of flowers is q mark Of
social Improvement no one can for a
moment gainsav. There is q humaniz-
inginfuence in associating with flowers
that, wherever it exists, can not fail to
be productive of good. We often call
to mind little incident which some
time ago came under our own observa-
ton in confirmation of this. We were
calling on a lriend--a man of high
standing i'm the medical profession,
whose opinion was always well worth
his fee. We found him just home
from % hospital meeting, agitated and
vexed at something that had gone
wrong. He began to speaS-iull of
his grievance-stopped short after %
few minutes, rang the bell and ordered
his servant to bring him % jug of cold
water and his scissors. Then. spread

In the whole pharmacoprja there's no

than that-nothing that sooner gets

tried it will deny that he was right2
1t would be interesting to test the
moral influence of association with
flowers by reference to the statistics Of
crime. Such reference would natur-
ally support the same conclusion: and
if so, this prevailing taste for flowers
would seem. without a doubt, to merit
every encomagement.-H p. fHHstcr.

A Phase of Poverty.

There is true poverty. which no one sees;
false and merely mimetic poverty, which

Electricity as a Motive Power.

Z. l.. Pope in March Scribner.
We continually hear electricity spoken Of as a
motive power. and the prediction is freely made
that it will soon take the place of the steam
engine that IL will be employed to proDel vessels
across the Atlantic, and the like. But such
view OF the matter is wholly without scientific
basis. Electricity, in its important application
to machinery, is never in itself source of
power. It is merely a convenient and easily
manageable form of energy, by which mechan-
ical power is transferable from ordinary
prime motor. a steam engine @ water

analogous to that of belt or line of shafting,
