tanned only nine or ten passengers,
was thrown off the rails with terrible
force, and into the side of cabOose at

more OF less injured. In the caboOse,
which was completely wrecked, were
three men, one OF whom had his neck
broken by the shock. The dead and

Two or three other persons sustained
bruises, but continued their journey.
Doctors were brought from Randolph

ones As comfortable as possible. The
track inspector had passed over the
track twice during the two hours imme-
diately preceding the accident, the last
time about five minutes before,
and found the switch and frog
all right. The only possible
conclusion is that the frog must have
been broken by the engine or baggage
ear in passing over it, rs the trainmen
on The engine and baggage car noticed
no jar whatever. The break iii the rail
is perfectly fresh. and ii is impossible
TO account for il o;her than as being an
unavoidable accident. The broken rail
was thrown 4 distance of eighty-five
feet from the track. Tie coroner will
investigate the matter in the morning

Practical Cooperation.

No one who knows anything about coop
GRAFTON in principle and practice disputes the
fact that it pays. A fresh and interesting
proof of this has just come TO me. A young
grocery clerk in a wholesale house found
himself out Of a job some time ago. He
lived in Harlem, in neighborhood tenanted
chiefly by people Of limited means like him
self. Knowing the value of produce he had
often remarked to his wife on the advance
price charged up town by purveyors of the
necessities of life, and when he found he had
nothing else to occupy his time with he COM
menced to buy the family supplies down
town and carry them home in basket A
neighbor in the house suggested that he
should do the marketing for her, too, because
she fancied the goods he purchased were bet
ter than those she got from her grocer and
butcher She paid him the up town price for
them, so that he not only got his own sup
plies at bottom figures, but had the expense
OF bringing them up town more than paid
for
This suggested an idea to him. He made
out price list, charging an advance on cost
and still less than the local scale, secured the
support of some more neighbOrs and com
menced to market for them daily in a wagon
that he hired by the month In this way he
got his own food supply for nothing Then
some of his customers proposed to form
regular association, pay him salary for do.
ing the business and enjoy the benefit of the
savings themselves. He readily agreed 60
this, and Is now purveyor general 90 some
twenty families, gets a bigger salary than he
received through his clerkship and hopes to
build the society up into strong co-opera-
tive club, with its own store and staff-Al-

Erecting an Egyptian Monolith.

There has been much speculation as to how
The ancient Egyptians managed to erect their
enormous monoliths, sometimes 100 feet in
height and weighing hundreds CT tons An
interesting recent article in The Revue Scien-
tifique, by NJ. Arnaudeau, offers the explana-
lion that water was employed Round the
Obelisk, lying horizontally, with the base
toward the pedestal, raised a circular
lnclosure, of height equal to that of the mon
olith- This latter had pieces of wood or
other floats fitted to it, especially at the up
per art; 20 that when water was brought
into tie inclosure the obelisk rose gradually
to the vertical. The process may be simply
initiated by introducing the end of a screw
nail into piece of cork, putting it in basin
and then introducing water.-Frank Leslie's

The Importance of Self Control.


An expert and experienced official in an in
sane asylum said TO Us little time since that
these institutions are filed with people who
have given up to their feelings, and that no
one Il quite safe from an insane asylum who
allows himself 70 give up 70 his feelings The
importance Of this fact IS too little appre-
ciated, especially by teachers. We are al
ways talking about the negative virtues Of
discipline, but we rarely speak Of the posi-
tive virtues. We discipline the schools to
keep the children from mischief to maintain
good order, to have things quiet, to enable
the children to study. We say, and say
rightly, that there cannot be a good school
without good discipline. We do not how
ever, emphasize as we should the fact
that the discipline of the school, when
rightly done, is as vital to the fu-
ture good Of the child as the les
sons he learns. Discipline Of the right kind
is as good mental training as arithmetic. It
is not Of the right kind unless it requires in
tellectual effort, mental conquests The ex-
perienced expert, referred 70 above, was led
70 make the remark to Us by seeing a girl
give way TO the ''sulks." That makes in
sane women she remarked, and told the
story Of a woman in an asylum, who used TO
sulk until she became desperate, and the ex-
pert said: "You must stop it; you must con-
troll yourself" To which the insane woman
replied: 1.-THE time to say that was when
was girl. l never controlled myself when
| was well, and now l cannot" The teacher
has a wider responsibility, a weightier dis
culinary duty than she suspects. The pupils
are not only TO be controlled, but they must
be taught to control themselves absolutely :,
honestly, onpletely.-JOurnal of Education.
