The engineer In quesTlon came north on
a regular freight schedule. Ahead of
him was an extra freight. The extra
had passed my station, but about mile
north, down the hill, had stopped to take
several cars off the siding. In doing this
several minutes had been consumed.
Immediately after they had passed the
tower lowered the red.signal as usual
and kept it down the required five min
utes. had observed the lights on the
extras caboose away down the track
and OWNED its purpose. To display the
white light to the next train north had
a perfect right, as the extras shifting
was supposed to be outside of my iuris-
diction.
''The extra, having concluded it's shift
ing, pulled out and the lights of the ca
boose disappeared around the bend. AS
they did SO the regular train north came
into sight around the bend south of my
Office and some sudden impulse made me
lower the blue light. Now. as | have
before remarked, this blue light was
never used, and when it was flashed in
the eyes of this engineer he took it as a
joke, and as he was 'leetla late pro-
ceeded to go down the hill at the usual
gait.
"He had a heavy train back of him and
it seems he was not aware that the ex-
ira was ahead of him All went well
until he dashed around sharp curve
about half mile south of Glen Rock,
when the danger signal was flashed at
him by the fagman of the extra, who
not expecting the regular to be so close
on his heels, was only few yards back
from his caboose.
1.-THE engineer whistled for brakes, re-
versed his engine and turned to take the
step to jump when he found the little
door leading to his post of duty had been
slammed to by the jar of reversing the
engine. Before it could be opened the
crash came, and the engineer found him.
self buried under the debris of about
fifteen empty box cars. He was taken
out but slightly bruised, and thankful
for his narrow escape. He afterward
told me he thought was joking when l
put down the blue light on him, but in
the future, he said, he would have more
respect for blue signal light. Wash

on the nomeward trip. The man said the
horse learned to chew tobacco when colt
by nosing paper out Of his owners pocket,
and the habit chung to him.
Up in Waterbury father and SON each
smokes pipe. The father uses one Kind
Of tobacco, while the son uses another. One
morning recently the father said to his son:
"John, if you have got so you like the Turk
ish brand why dom you buy IT." The son
replied: .sWell, father, I was just thinking
that if you are so well pleased with the Vir-
GINA mixture you should use it altogether
instead Of your own"
The father and son thereupon came to an
understanding. Each denied using the
others tobacco, and It's mysterious disap-
pearance from their respective jars was the
cause of much suspicion. Sunday afternoon
the father lay on lounge in the sitting
room and, by chance, glanced through an
open door just in time to see the family cat
jump on the table where the two tobacco
jars were kept
It exceedingly surprised him to see the
cat put her paw into first one jar and then
the other and paw out big wad of tobacco,
which she eagerly devoured. This she did
for perhaps fifteen min ates, and then jump
ing On to the floor proceeded to the back Of
the store and lay down calmly.
Later in the day the same performance
was gone through with, and the entire FAM
lily saw it, though they could scarcely be-
iieve it. The cat has been stolen several
times, but has always come back home
again in famished condition, but began to
fatten up just as the tobacco began to dis
appear.

Bourbon Promoters of Fraud.

The Democrats in the Senate, unable to
overthrow protective tariff by fair means,
are resorting to foul means. Unable to cut
down the duties below the protective point
in the Senate Tariff bill, they are making
desperate efforts to have these duties made
ad valorem instead of specific, SO that pro-
lection may be beaten by fraudulent under
valuation of imports.
A specific duty, SO much per ton, pound,
yard or other quantity, is easily ascertained
in every case and makes fraud practically
impossible. When the duty is ad valorem,
percentage Of the value at the place Of
purchase, fraud is as easy as lying. BY an an
Outstanding between foreign manufacturers
and our importers goods can be, and no
toriously are, billed far below their cost,
thus reducing the duty to be paid. 1t is to
the interest Of the foreign manufacturers
to furnish these false bills; q large part of
their trade, in fact, depends upon their do
ing it, and the greater the extent to which
they do it, the greater the sales in this
country. By this means the Government is
robbed of revenue and American labor of
employment, for without these frauds the
importations of many kinds Of goods would
be very sman.-Cleveland Leader.

Sympathies of Sound.

It is owing the sympathetic commune
cation of vibrations that persons with a
clear and powerful voice have been able to
break large tumbler glass by singing close
to its proper fundamental note. We have
heard of case where a person broke no
fewer than twelve large glasses in success
sion. The sympathy Of vibration shows it
self remarkably in the case Of the going OF
two clocks fixed to the same shelf or wall
It was known near a century ago that two
clocks set going on the same shelf will affect
each other. The pendulum of the one will
stop that of the other, and the pendulum Of
the clock which is stopped, after certain
time, will resume It's vibrations, and in its
turn, stop that Of the other clock. These
effects are clearly produced by the small
vibrations communicated from the one pen
dunm to the other through the shelf or rail
or plank on which they beth rest.

Up far and deep into the mountains went

There was deep snow upon the ground.

Drew of the man.

He EnoNs Better.

The white people in certain parts Of the
South appear 70 be in great terror Of negro
uprising now as they were of slave insur-
rections in the days before the war. Most
of the blood-curdling reports that have
been sent from Mississippi recently have
been found to be wild exaggerations Of
petty encounters between gangs of negroes
and whites The latest case is al Lamar.
Miss, where the authorities made an
urgent plea for Wirchesters 10 protect
them from the desperate blacks. The
whole thing was due 70 the excited inagl-
nation OF some fellow who had probably
cheated the poor negroes that worked Tor
him and feared they would take revenge on
HIM. 1t may be said, as a general thing,
that the Southern negro does not resort TO
violence TO sveuge his wrongs He IS DIS
franchised and frequently reduced TO con-
ditnn little better than slavery through the
cunning of his white employer, but he
knows the folly Of attempting to redress
his INJURIES by force Of srns- Any attempt
of that sor. would be regarded as trace
war" and the negroes would be the Only
sufferers.
