WAS IT ANOTHER
Case of Train Wrecking on the
Texas Central

When the Texas Central up train
which leaves here at $3.50 o'clock
was going out and had passed Aquilla
station about three miles the engineer
saw an obstruction on the track. The
train was running at about twenty
miles an hour with full head of
steam. The obstruction was imme-
diately across the track and was y
wagon heavily loaded. The engineer
whistled for brakes and reversed
his engine but the speed was so great
that the engine struck the wagon,
which was loaded with coal, at nearly
full speed, throwing it up in the air
and off the track. The train was
stopped long distance beyond the
place and an examination made which
showed the cow-catcher badly broken
up. On going back the wagon was
found broken into kindling wood and
the coal with which it had been load
ed scattered to the four winds of
heaven. No damage was done be-
You'd that of the cow-catcher and no

Why 1t should be across the track ex-

her fathers residence, at No. COZ
Race street, at S o'clock this morning
and fell dead. Yesterday and last

that the ceremony was performed at
the church instead of at the house,
and the fine feast which the dead girl
had helped to prepare for the wedding
was used instead for her funeral.
She was 81 years old. and had always
been an exemplary daughter. Des.
pondency is supposed to be the cause.

READING FOR CHILDREN.
What Should Be tho Books TO AmusC

What Should Be tho Books to Amuso
Boys and Girls.
In the rearing OF their children, no
question perplexes the conscientious
parent more than tho choice of books
no matter whether they be story
books or picture books. No hard-and-
fast rule can be laid down for their
guidance. No list OF books. however
wolt thy, can prove Of tho least avail.
Experience Is the only safe guide.
Parents study tho composition of n
particular meal intended for the baby
stomach; but they seldom devote more
than q passing thought to tho likes or
dislikes of the baby mind. Readers Of
biography are frequently reminded of
the effect which certain piece
of literature exercised upon the
mental development of the sub
ject of memoir. Nothing seems
moro certain than that If The mother
and father were to watch tho feelings
aroused in child by the different
sorts of books first placed in its hands,
they would be able TO give It literature
Of n kind which would help to mold its
mind into graceful whole and give
strength to its weaker parts. Thus
they ought TO be able to counteract a
disposition TO sentimentality or pes
slmism by vigorous and optimistic
narrative; optimism or fcverish norv-
ous energy might find healthy quail
iication in stories of q mildly philo-
sophie character The emotions Of
which child is capable are so ingenu-
ously evlnced that nothing ought to be
easier than for parents to determine
the sort of fiction likely to be most
useful. Let child read stories of
whatever character 1t likes. II

kind of fiction is calculated to
do harm, do not fly TO its antithesis

Interesting Details OF tho Family Life of

A German contemporary publishes
some interesting details of the daily
life of Prince Bismarck. Every body
knows. says our contemporary, that
the Prince hardly ever gets up before
noon, unless he has TO attend an inn
portant parliamentary meeting. But 1t
must be remembered that he only goes
TO bed after working till two a. m.
every night. In the Chancellor's bed
room a light is kept burning all tho
night numbers of messages, often re-
quiring his personal attention, being
brought in during the night In con-
sideration of the late hours kept by
the Prince supper is served lato in the
evening and seldom finished before
midnight Besides tho Prln-
cess Bismarck, Count and Count
ess Rantzau partake Of al
most every meal, regularly leaving
the palace at 1O:45 p. m, when a
second-class cab always takes them
home. Bismarck's birthday is always
great feast and holiday for the serv-
ants of the house. In the kitchen
barrel of wine Is provided by Princess
Bismarck. two bands are in attend
anco and the servants families appear
on tho scene. The Prince comes
down. talks with the guests and dis
tributes sweets among the children.
Tho pleasant relations between master
and servant are also evident from the
fact that the Princess always gives
six Easter eggs TO each of the servants.

sists of sergeant and eight consta-
