The baggage transportation sys-
TEN Of this country is one OF the rail-
road features which elicit especial
wonder and admiration from foreigners.
Its efficiency in general is illustrated
by a report Just submitted for the past
year by the General Baggage Depart
ment of the Philadelphia and Recalling
Railroad. 1t handled 1T5 .057 pieces of
baggage, and, not wIthstanding tue IN

shipping of baggage, not single arti-
Gle was lost Also, during the same
period, SS75.40 IN money and 4SO9 ar
ticles were found on the trains and

Office by the train hands. Subse-
quently the owners of s743.T4 OF the

The Days That Never Roturn.
A SONG.


Over the strings of my harp to-day
Floats a song that Is half a sigh,
Like the sound OF leaves when the wind
sweeps by,
Like the sound of breakers far away,
As they beat and sob,
AS they beat and throb,
Till / hear a voice in their distant rot
On that lovely stretch of sandy shore
Over the strings of my harp to-day
Floats a song fer the dying year
A song that thrills with an unshed tear
Thro' the winter twilight, cold and gray,
As the breakers sob,
AS the breakers throb,
And hear that voice with its old refrain
Over the strings of my harp to-day
Floats \ song Tor my sweet, lost youth
Fer, oh, l would give in very truth,
Riches ard fame and power away
To dream once more
Those bright dreams Ger,
alt is vain regret" signs that old refrain
For The days that never come back again,
Over the strings of my harp to-day
Floats a song tor the dying year;
song that thrills with an unshed tear,
Like the sound of breakers far away
How they beat and sobI
How they beat and throbI
And hear that voice with its old refrain,
For the days that never come back again.

lie had a good Iosition, a large salary,
a home, a wife and a iamily. He
evidently lived beyond his means,
acquired expensive habits and became
rapid. He got hold of somebody's
check, had it cashed and then skipped.
HIS career comes to an end, but the
misery of his household has Just
begun.
Our grandfathers did one thing
better than we do-they knew how TO
live in two rooms and save money,
while we live in ten, get into debt,
keep our noses TO the grindstone, and
at last burst all to pieces like an over
Inflated soap bubble.
1t takes more courage for an ambit-
ious young man to live on thousand
dollars a year, and keep clear of embar-
rassments and temptations, than TO
hunt lions in Africa or tigers in India.

poor, and do it cheerfully, is the

STORIES ABOUT MEN.
Something or n Liar, but Not for
Forty Cents

= number or members from the
house of representatives have stolen
away at various times an 4 for short
periods from their congressional duties
Most of them enjoyed themselves, but
none to greater extent than did Wade,
If Missouri; Lind. OF Minnesota, and
Sawyer, OF New York. They invaded
the state OF Maryland and studiei the
unsophisticated natives until they got
tired. The last place at which they
made any stay was Leonardtown.
From theIe they intended coming to
the capital by boat, but that semi
occasional craft having departed, they
were compelled to travel by rail.
The train was started with pinch
bar and proceeded at a very deliberate
gait Occasionally ths conductor
would get OFF and gather few peaches,
with which he would treat the passsn-
gers. After the train had been crawl
ing along for an hour and had covered
at least six miles, the conductor col
lected the fares, which, for the Con-
gressional crowd. amounted to So
cents each When he reached Col.
Wade. that genial bald knObber''
remarked, in his innocent way:

mo. sir" was the conductors reply.
We only charge them half rates. Are
you a preacherp" he added, looking
squarely at the colonel's Methodist
cOuntenance.
mo, l am not" said the Mlssou-
rian, but that gentleman is" pointing
To Judge Sawyer, who sat a couple of
Srats i'll front of him.
The conductor at once returned to
the Judge, and after a searching
glance at the sun kissed countenaDce
OF the New York statesman, proffered
him 40 cents, with the remark: I'VE
only collect half rates from preachers -
"Who IN blank said L was a
preacherl' asked the judge, with con-
siderable show of anger.
The conductor threw his thumb back
over his shoulder in the direction OF
Col. Wade, and looked as though he
thought all the time that the colonel
was garbling the facts In the case
In the meantime the three dimes, the
nickel and five pennies reposed calmly y
in the judges fat palm. He regarded
them In silence for a moment, and then
handed them back 10 the official, say
ing: ~ am a good deal of liar, but
will not lie for 40 cents"
Then he relapsed into absolute silence
and would not look at Col. Wade unit

1T WAS MOSBY.
A ComicaI Incident of the Late Dis.
puUe.

The truth of the following comIcal
war story Is vouched for by its narra-
tor, John Esten Cook, says the Youths
Companion. a body of Federal cav
airy had approached very near the
Confederate lines, and two or three OF
them WHO had gone out to forage came
TO cabin In the woods, and after re-
connoItering raped at the door. A
negro woman answered the knock, and
seemed very much disturbed at the
sight of the blue coats.
We want some supper
Yes, sir.
But first, Is there anybody tereP'
No, sir.
Are you sure?'
..oh, there amt nobody here but me
-'cept-'
Except who?'
Only Col. Mosby, SIR
Col. Mosby!Il' exclaimed the
speaker, with at least three exclama-
ton points to his accent, and getting
hastily into his saddle.
Are you iokIng?' he added. You'd
better not. Is Col. Mosby hereP'
Yes, sIr,' exclaimed the woman in
great terror, and at the same moment
low noise, like that produced by the
footsteps of man, was heard inside.
No sooner dill the men hear this
than they turned their horses heads
and galIoped of to their command,
where great excitement at once en-
sued.
1t was necessary TO act with caution.
! Mosoy's desperate courage was well
| known, and he would make all the
stouter resistance because he was sure
TO be hanged to the first tree If he
were captured as 'bushwhacker' AMI
an outlaw.
Elaborate preparations were made, the
cabin surrounded, and the door sud-
denly burst open. Men rushed in with
cooked pistols. But no rebel was to be-
| found.
Where is Mosby?' thundered the of
| fcer.
oh, there he i, = was the Trembling
reply of the woman.
'Where?'
There and the woman pointed to
| the cradle.
What do you meanP'
'Oh, sirl 1 don't meant didn't
mean Iothin'l 1 call him Mosby, sir
Colonel Mosby,' sir-that's his
name, SIR
| Awaiting her doom she stood tremb-
ling before the intruders. They. on
their part, looked from the woman to
the baby sucking away at his thumb,
scowled, growled. took another look,
saw the old woman had told the truth,
then they burst out laughing, took 10
their horses and were soon out of
sight.

Help Yourself.

A child can learn to do many things
in an emergency or an accident which
will give relief. Here are three simple
prescriptions" which boys and girls
should remember. We get them from
U-ide AtCdke:
l. An In-grolring ToeRdil: Heat a
bit OF mutton tallow hot IN a spoon,
and pour in on the "bad place" The
soreness disappears and IN a few days
the edge of the nall can be cut as
usual.
. Nose bleed: Grasp firmly the nose
with finger and thumb of the right
hand for fully ten minutes, completely
stopping the movement of air through
the nose. 1t will stop the bleeding,
which will not return. This Is the
/ advice of an eminent surgeon.
3 When you SpfH the Ink: Hurry for
some cold water. an empty cup and a
spoon. Pour a little water on the
stain. The water dilutes the Ink
making the stain less deep. of course.
Then dip it up lightly and quickly into
the cup. Go on pouring clean water
on the spot and dipping up. You can
repeat this until there Is not the
slightest mark left of the accident, NJ
matter how much was spilled.
To remove a dry ink stain dip upor
II hot milk and rub It Repeat unit
the stain Is gone.

ONE OF the latest improvements In
the transportation Of poultry Is pat
ent palace car on the Lackawanna
Railroad designed for the conveyance
OF live fowl. According 10 the Rdlt-
Uuy Nars. the car is two feet higher
than the ordinary freight car, contains
ll6 Compartments, each one four feet
square, in a series OF eight decks, with
an aisle running through 1t crosswise
and another one lengthwise. The ca
paclty of the car is from $500 to 4oOo
fowls, according to the season OF the
year. BY system of drop decks the
fowls are loaded and unloaded at the
bottom Of the car, the sides OF which
are strong wire netting, in which are
the doors to the several compartments
On the top OF the car In the centre Is a
water tank large enough 10 supply
full load on a journey OF 1000 miles,
Each compartment is supplied on three
sides with abundant food and water,
by system Of troughs and hose that Is
easily worked on ths inside, no matter
low great speed the train may o<
going at The food is carried In boz
e tank beneath the car.

"DR. T. Il. ALLIsoN," says the
London Hospital, has been trying the
experiment of living on meal and
water for month. His daily allow
ance Is one pound of whole meal, made
into a cake with distilled water, and
one quart OF water. His account Of
Ills condition after week is cheering.
In the first few days he felt hungry,
but about the fourth day this dlsap-
feared, and he had no longer any crav-
Ing for other food His brain was
clear, his lung capacity had increased
i've inches, and both his sight and
hear us had improved He had lost
seven pounds weight, but seems to
regard this as rather an advantage.
Altogether he feels thoroughly satisfied
with his experiment. 1t is very
economical one, the wheat for seven
Gays having cost only eightpence.
This, he says. IS living on almost
penny a day and enjoying it,"
