ECONOMY at tho Furnace Door.

The best engineer in Christendom, says
Fractna1 Electricity, can not produce the
best results with his plant he has to
depend on an unsklled fireman, or upon
himself, acting also as fireman. It is .
common notion that any body can shovel
coal into q furnace, and that this consi-
tutes all that fireman needs to do. A
great many mill agents, treasurers, to say
nothing of boards of directors, cherish this
idea, without realizing how serious it is.
We assert that no man ought to be placed
in charge Of coal pile who can not tell ap.
;proximately how much can be deduced
from it, because it represents q certain
number Of foot pounds Of work, and has,
therefore, definite evaporative value. TIC
speak plain, the coal pile means just 80
many dollars worth of work. The duty OF
lexpending this money, this raw material,
Should be intrusted to q well-expeEenced
ana well-paid fireman. Every engineer has
his own specific sphere Of work, and only
false economy demands that he should
move out of it. Engineers are neither
iomniscert nor omnipresent, but, if they
know their business, and are not afraid tc
tell the truth, they will not hesitate TO-
recognize and condemn the waste fulness Of
the policyo OF hiring either q cheap fireman
ornO fireman at all. Il. s

stories that made the young mans hair

Two Good Stories Related by Intelligent

Two Good Stories Related by Intelligent
African Bushmen.
While Mr.. Anderson was leisurely trav-
cling through South Africa in q wagon
drawn by sixteen oxen, he heard from the
bush,nen many stories of their remarkable
escapes from lions, says writer in Golden
Days. One bush1nan, having been seized by
the arm by a lion, had the presence OF mind
to use his free arm to take up handful Of
sand and throw it in the lions eyes. The
beast, roaring with pain, and blinded, let
go the man, who ran away before the lion
could recover his sight Mr.. Anderson saw
the man, and the marks of the lions teeth
on his arm.
That lion was not as cool AS sergeant in
tina United States army, who was stationed
st one of the forts on the Western plains.
A soldier, having deserted was captured by
the sergeant in a mining camp fifty miles
from the fort.
While returning they were passing So
loon, and the prisoner begged the privilege
Of going in and getting a drink The SER
geant consented, and they went in together
and stood before the bar, on which was
pepper-box filed with cayenne pepper. The
soldier took the box up, nnscrewed the per-
forated lid, threw a handful Of the red pep
per into the sergeant's eyes and started for
the door. The blinded man, though suffer
ing intensely, retained his self-possession.
He drew his revolver, fired in the direction
of the retreating footsteps and shot the de-
serter through the heart.
A bushman, on being seized by q lion, who
grasped the mans left arm with his teeth,
used his free arm to take hold of one of the
beasts hind legs. This he squeezed and
pinched so hard that the lion gave a roar
and sprang away.
