TRAYS UNFORTUNATE SNEEZE.
It Is Followed BY q Series OF Mishaps
Roth LudicrOus and Grave.

James Tray, of Allentown, Pa, got on
. train at McVeytown to go to Lewistown
the other day. The car was warm, and
Tray raised the window at which he was
sitting. Soon afterward he had to sneeze.
The conclusion Of the sneeze hurled his
false teeth ont of his mouth. They shot
through the open window and went bound
ing along on the ground. Tray had just
got the set from the dentists. They cost
him e25. He got out at the next station,
five miles from where the teeth had escaped
from him.. and walked back to regain
them. He found them. Then he started
to walk the five miles back to the station
to get the next train. AS he was crossing
the railroad bridge over the Big Run u
west-bound freight came along. He was
walking on that track and stepped over on
the beams Of the east-bound track. AS
he did SO he glanced back and saw a freight
train from the west just coming on the
bridge toward him. There was no time
for him to get across the bridge before the
train would be upon him, and he did not
dare to stand on the narrow space between
the tracks until the trains passed. Both
locomotives sounded their danger signals.
There was but one thing to do. Tray
seized a bridge beam or tie with his hands,
and dropping quickly down hung by his
fingers until the long train had passed
over him. He then dragged himself back
to the track.
The engineer of the train was bringing it
to a stop. evidently to see what had be-
come Of Tray, but when he reappeared, and
the conductor saw he was all right. the
signal was given to 90 ahead, and. the train
went on without taking Tray aboard. A
milefurther on another east bound freight
came along. Tray thought it was run
ming slow enough for him to get on the
caboose. When the rear of the train was
passing him be threw his overcoat on the
platform of the caboose and grabbed the
rail to swing himself on. The train was
going faster than it looked, and Tray could
not get o footing. He had to let loose of
the rail, and he was thrown twenty feet
down the bank. The skin was scraped of
his face, hands, and legs, and one ankle
was dislocated. The train went on, taking
Trays overcoat, o brand new $50 coat,
along with it.
In spite Of his injured ankle and mutiia-
ted face, hands and legs, Tray managed to
get over the remaining two miles of his
journey, reaching the station just as his
train came in. Without waiting to have
his injuries attended to he boarded the
train. When. the conductor came around
Tray remembered that the conductor of
the first train had taken up his ticket for
the entire journey. He could not induce
the second conductor to pass him either on
the strength Of that or of the story of his
many mishaps, and Tray had to pay his
fare over again. He is now in bed, won
dering whether it isn't more han likely
that the ceiling will fall on him.

George KEENAN,, in the Century,
writes of life OF the great Siberian road,
and describes the following incident:
II shall never forget the emotions
reused in me by this song when I heard
it for the first time. We were sitting,
one cold, raw, autumnal day, in Q dirty
post station on the great Siberian road,
waiting for horses. Suddenly my atten-
ton was attracted by a peculiar, low
pitched, q%uavering sound which came
to us from a distance, and which, al
though made apparently by human
voices, did not resemble anything that
! had ever before heard. 1t was not
singing, nor chanting, % w~ailing for
the dead, but q strange blending Of all
three. 1t suggested vaguely the con-
fused and commingled sobs, means, and
entreaties of human beings who we're
being subjected to torture, but whose
sufferings were not acute enough to
seek expression in shrieks or high
pitched cries. As the sound came nearer
we went out into the street in front Of
the station-house and Jaw approaching
q chained party of about q hundred
bare-headed convicts, who, surrounded
by q Gordon of soldiers. we're marching
slowly through the settlement, singing
the 'exiles' begging song No attempt
was made by the singers to pitch their
voices in harmony, or to pronounce the
words in unison; there we're no pauses
or rests at the ends OF the lines; and /
could not make out any distinctly
marked rhythm. The singers seemed
TO be constantly breaking in upon n
another with slightly modulated varia-
tons Of the same slow, melancholy air,
and the effect produced was that Of q
rude fugue, or Of a funeral chant, 30 ar
ranged as TO be sung like q round or
catch by q hundred male voices, each
independent Of the others in time and
melody, but all following . certain
scheme Of vocalization, and taking mp
by turns the same dreary, wailing theme.
The words were as follows:

large regions in California and the

methods of cultivation in vogue there as a
