One expects certain amount of "guff" ia
newspapers. A particular class of writers de-
light to strike false chords Of sentiment and
gush. Here's an incident witnessed myself,
which has the merit Of truth / was coming
back from Jersey City. The ferry boat was
about to enter the slip, when man near tho
forward door of the smoking cabin got up
and said:
MATES, I'm a workingman, like the rest OF
yez. I've got wife and three children home
to-day, starving. I'll grub for a living, do
anything an honest man can, but l want ye
to help me now to tide me over the night.n
Several voices exclaimed, "Shut up; sit
down; we've heard that before" The man
kept his feet and faced the crowd as It poured
through the door. There was nothing of the
professional beggar about him, he looked like
what he undoubtedly was-a striking coal
handler. l saw one passenger give him a
silver dollar. Many others gave up smaller
coins fingered behind and heard gentle
man take down the fellows name and address
and offer him work; then the boggar was left
alone in the cabin. l knew the world and
was suspicious went back and looked into
the cabin window, expecting to SEQ tho
"workingman' counting out his money and
preparing for a raid on the next boat load.
The poor fellow was down on his knees before
a seat, with his head buried in bis hands,
sobbing like child. l felt particularly
small and sneaked off the boat The moral
OF this Is: Don't necessarily blackguard a
man because he is compelled to strike.-New

Another Brooltlynite with an idea is a
young woman who lives in Smith street She
Is -, bright, sensible, industrious and nervy
About two years and a half ago her father
died. He was an Englishman and had been
in the butchers line in a small way. A few
hungry creditors gobbleG the little shop and
carted part of the furniture out OF the house
Then the landlord turned out to be even
more wolfish than the creditors. He took
the rest of the furniture for a trifling arrears
in rent and actually set the young woman
and her 10-year-old sister into the street.
Their mother had died several years before.
Not q solitary person was there in Brooklyn
or New York to whom the young woman
could look for aid. She had no accomplish
ments and she was not strong enough
physically to perform much hard manual
labor But she didn't sit down think it over.
As there was no channel open to her she pro
ceeded to create one.
Everybody has seen the hams that swing
from hooks in front of meat shops. They are
as typical of the butchers trade as three gilded
balls are Of the pawnbroker's or striped pole
of the BARRIERS. They look like the genuine
sugar-cured articles, but they are mere pre-
tenses-dummies filled with sawdust The
Smith street young woman had made several
Of these for her fathers shop. 1t occurred to
her that she might sell some elsewhere. So
she made a couple of the dummy hams. Good
luck came at once. She sold the pair, and got
orders for more. 1t took good deal of hard
work, but she got kind of dummy ham trade
started. Now two women besides herself are
busy every day in the little back room of the
Smith street house sewing bags of yellow
cloth which are exact counterparts of those
used for genuine hams. In the same room the
energetic young womans little sister and an
other little girl stuff the bags With sawdust
from bin in the corner, tic up the tops and
paste labels on the bags just like those on real
hams, giving the false presentment very
plausible exterior. From being set into the
street without penny in her pocket two and
half years ago the butchers daughter now
has comfortable home and growing bank
account, and she finds the demand for dummy
hams SO large that she and her assistants have
their hands full all the time Brooklyn IN.

tcsnils Of n scheme for Instrgctins
Freight rrainmen About Air Brakes.
Qaitc recently the Union Pacific company
p.opted Westinghouse cir brakes, and have
equipped oil their freight cars with rhein but
" reason Of lack Of knowledge ON the part
Of tlainmcn in knowing how to operate tho
scheme correctly, annoyance and bad mis-
takes have been experienced. To remedy
this, and bring railroading up to scientific
principles, the school car has become neces
sity.
They took the old directors car, No. 81, re
paired it thoroughly for the purpose intended,
and will soon be ready to send it over the
road 4. A. Hedendahl, an experienced and
expert engineer, will be in charge Of the car
as superintendent and direct the instruction.
The arrangement from which the trainmen
viii take their lessons in the use of the air
brake is very fine and comparatively simple
At the front end OF the car stands q frame,
on which rests thirty air chambers and 600
feet of pipe, just what would be required for
an ordinary train Of cars, and, in addition,
there are also the wheels and gearing of a
freight car, with tho air brake attachment
mounted on another frame about the center
of the car. In the opposite end is stationed u
very attractive engine, Of about six horse
power capacity, while between THIS and the
frames spoken Of above is planted steam
chest, on which are tho gauges valves and
apparatus by which the engineer works the
brakes
With the steam engine and pumps; main
reservoir in which compressed air is stored
engineers brake valve, which regulates the
flow Of air from the reservoir into the brake
pipe for releasing the brakes; main brake pipe
and auxiliary reservoir brake cylinder triple
valve which connects the brake pipe with the
auxiliary reservoir and the latter TO the brake
cylinder; the car model completely equipped
aud the full complement for complete train,
you would imagine that the car is well filled,
but such is not the case.
The remaining space, which is nicely car
icted, gives ample room for twenty men at a
time TO watch the operations Of the machin-
cry and listen TO Mr.. Hcdendahl's explanations
and instructions. He stands at the main res
ervoir and by working the engineers brake
valve causes the air chamber cylinders tc
move out anil in, the same as when in use on
cars that are on a track in train and in mo
ton. His instructions are minute as to detail
covering every point, supposing many things
that might occur in case Of aa-'ident.-Omaha

The inventor of the chestnut bell was be-

to patent an improvement on his previous
atrocious invention. The improvcm1..s con
sists Of an attachment, which will probably
give n new lease of life to the now obsolete
chestnut bell. The new device consists of an
elastic band connected with the bell, but fas-
tened to the other side of the waistcoat
When tho bell is struck u miniature rat runs
across the breast Of tho wearer and stops in
full view of the victim. To make it more
effective, the word rats in white letters on
n black background is inscribed ON the
RAJ. Tho inventor wanted patent that
would cover not only the device, but the
word "rats' also, his idea being to prevent
any infringement on this expression After
due deliberation the examiner decided that so
necessary a word as rats was not patentable
and declined to grant the monopoly to thu
enterprising inventor. The other features Of
the device were favorably acted upon
