Some years ago a storokecper in
Wcedsport, N. ", was astoaishod at a
most singular sight in the street in
front of the store. A largo wagon
drawn by horse and an OK hld htltcd
there, and clustered about the vehicle
were "A children--aIl boys. In the
wagon was the mother, and Ly the ami
mails stood the father, who explained
to the astonished storek9eper that they
were on their way from Connecticut to
Indiana, aad were having a family NOV
Ing
"H this your family?" asked the mcr-
chant.
Yes answered tho man, "twenty-
fou boys, twelve sets of twins, and we
have no children dead. At night what
cant get into the wagon, bunk under it
on the ground. We are all here,

The merchant was 50 pleased at the
tight that he formed the boys into line
and presented each one with a straw

l don't know whether or not horse
has ever been sold here in Boston ior
food. but / am sure that it has been
cooked and catca. Some time ago
leading ''vet, who is, believe, an adj
vocate of this use of horse flesh, invited
several persons of his acquaintance,
somewhat noted as gourmets, to JOIN
him in little supper of bear steaks at
one Of our hotels. lie represented that
the bear had been shot il Mline and
sent to him as present. The fact was
however, that the dishes which he set
before his guests were composed oil
horse meat--a plump young nag, be-
longing to a friend Of his, having bro
ken leo, so that it became necessary
to kill him, thus furnishing material for
the feast All who were present at it
enjoyed it very much, and considered
that the steaks and other forms Of sup
posed bears meat provi led for them
were excellent and as good as beef or
lamb. Not till the last dish had been
removed did the "vet" cnlightea his
guests as to the real nature of their en-
tertainment, and when he did so their
after dinner tranquility was not little
disturbed. Most of them turned pale,
Few were angry, and one or two cool
aud hardy spirits were only amused.
Almost all OF them, however declared
upon reflection that they were converts
to the theory which they had unwit-
tingly put into practice; but neverthe
less, doubt very much if a single one
of the party would accept another inyi
tation from that "vet' without guar
antee as to the character of the Wand:
of which they were invited to partale.

What II Costs 70 Ston A Train.

1t is not generally known that loss of
power is involved in the starting and
stopping of an ordinary train of cars.
There is required about twice as much
power to stop train as to start one,
the loss Of power depending upon the
momentum. A train going at the rate
of sixty miles an hour can, by means of
the Westinghouse air brake, be stopped
within 1870 yards from the first applica-
tioa of the brake. Now enough power
is lost to carry this same train fifteen
miles over plane surface. First, there
is the momentum acquired by the train
flying at this remarkable rate of speed,
then the loss of steam in applying the
brakes, and lastly, lut not least, the
extra amount of coal to compensate for
all these losses. BY computation it has
been ascertained that every complete
stop involves a cost of ST. 17.-Kansas
City Star.

Home.

A cloudy sky fills all the west,
And all the cast is dark ard G ID;
A stranger, tarrying for d rest,
A shepherd gathers in his foil.
To faith al doubling doors unlock;
To faith there is no foreign flock;
The cloud, the cold, the darkling dome
Is framed Il sunbeams arching home.
Rolls yawning black sulleu sea,
With savage teeth THAT gii-tcn white;
The wolves Of water snap, tut uc,
The faith ul, knows 'tis vain they bite
For him all winds TO haven~ blow,
And an around him ana b Uw
The howliuz waves, the billows' foam
Are tie still waters flowing home
Though dark the Sky and barred the fold
Aud the wreck li,th fuhoms deep,
He Gndeth comfort in the cold,
And life in the eternal sleep
And all things toll to bring HIM good,
And rest is in his tumult rule.
And all things whisper to him, Come,
Abide with me, for am home

4 Diamond IN Her Tooth.

About year ago it became fashion
able in New York for young ladies to
have diamond set in oae Of their teeth,
which sparkled res plendently whenever
they smiled. The fashion grew in
popularity, and was adopted in other
of the large cities, but until recently
the extravagant habit did not reach
Louisville Now, however, there is a
young lady who can be seen promenad-
ing Fourth avenue almost any afternoon,
her red, ripe lips parted with a sweet
smile. AT the point of one of her upper
front teeth sparkles a brilliant little
stone, which is the occasion of the ever
pleased mood of its fair owner. The
young lady, who is the daughter of a
banker, recently returned from visit
to New York, and while there "caught
on to the craze. She has numerous
rare and costly stones, but it is safe to
say that none nor all of them give
their fair owner half the pleasure ex-
tracted from the diminutive gem i'm
bedded in her poarly front teeth. The
case mentioned is probably the only
one of the kind in Louisville II Louis
vile Courier Journal.
