The disagreeable features of a freight
brakeman's life are chiefly those depending
upon the weather. If he could perform his
duties in southern California or Florida i'll
winter, and in the northern States in sum-
mer, his lot would ordinarily be happy
one, though the annoyance of tramps is al
most universal in mild climates, and in many
cases takes the shape Of positive danger.

In some sections of the country they will

with pistols, and dictate where the train shall

The hardships of cold and stormy weather
are serious both because Of the test of en-
durance involved and the added difficulties
in handling train. The Westinghouse au-

mirably on passenger trains for the last fif-

Az uNrLEAsAxr SITUATION.

A train moving at twenty miles an hour
against wind with a velocity of thirty
miles increases the latter to fifty, so far as
the brakeman is concerned; and if rain or
sleet is falling tho force of it on his haipls
and face is very severe. IL we add to this
theelahger attendant upon stepping from one
ear to another over gap of twenty-seven to
thirty inches in dark night, when the cars
arc deuAtsntl moving zap. and DOWN en thmr
springs and are swaying to one side or the
other every few seconds, we get some idea Of
though we cannot realize, the sensations
that must at such times fill the minds of the
men Whose pleasant berth seems so enjoyable
on n mild summers day.
And this is not an oyerdrawn picture or
the worst that might be given; for rain and
snow combined often coat the roofs of cars so
completely and soldly that they are worse
than the smoothest skating pond, and NOV
ing upon them is attended with danger at
every step. ,Jmnping--it cannot be called
walking-fIom one car to another is in such
cases positively reckless. The brake appar-
atus will in a snow storm be coated with ice
SO rapidly that vigorous action is required to
keep il in working condition. Even wind
alone, in dry weather, sometimes compels the
men to crawl from one car to another, grasp
ing such projections as they may. The
brakeman who forgets to take his rubber
coat and overalls sometimes suffers severely
from sudden changes of temperature. In
spring or fall lively shower will be encoun-
tered in sheltered valley and the clothing
will be completely drenched, and then within
perhaps half an hour the ascent of a few
hundred feet brings the train into an atmos
phere a few degrees below the freezing point
so that with the aid of the wind, famed by
the speed of the train, the clothes are very
soon frozen stiff.-B. b. Adams, Jr.. in
Scribner's Magazine.

Intelligent Horses.

1t is great mistake to imagine that all
the best trained and most intelligent horses
are to be seen in circuses. | have handled
horses all my life, and never saw anything
very wonderful in an animal being taught
tricks in ring which is always the same
size. There are hundred of horses in st.
Louis which know more and understand
signs better than any circus horse | ever
saw; and what is more, they will obey any
where and under any conditions, which a 50
called educated horse probably would not
The fire brigade horses, of course, are illustra-
lions of this, and many express wagon horses
are only degree less intelligent. | make a
round Of calls every day. At some places
there is nothing for us three days out of four,
and when there is no card In the window the
horse keeps going. But if he sees the card he
stops of his own accord and backs up, no
matter how heavy the traffic is And at
places where there is no card he will stop and
wait while go in to inquire. If | don't
come out at once he concludes there is some
thing and backs up. If that isn't evidence
of reason and thought would like to know
what is.-St Louis Globe-Democrat.

A knowledge of feline traits once enabled
Charles James Fox to win wager from the
then Prince OF Wales, while the two were
saunter.ng along fashionable street in Lon
don.
1t was hot summer day, and Fox offered
to bet that he would see more cats than his
royal highness during their promenade, al
though the prince might choose on which
side of the street he would walk
1t turned out that Fox had seen thirteen
cats and the prince none.

| an information bureau" and a neat sign
over the open window announces the fact.
It's very clever idea, since a great many
people frequently want to know something
about the town or about trains, but it is the
only one in town and it strikes sophisticated
folks as very queer
saw a very flip young fellow look at the
sign the other day and smile. Then he went
up to the window and knew he was going
to try to be funny at the bureau mans eX-
pense edged up carelessly and heard him
ask:

Kind o whatr' asked the information
man.
Kind of information" said the flip young
man.
The bureau man "tumbled" in a second.
He saw he had run against JOKER but he
didn't show it in his manner He just said,
in business like tone and a perfectly straight
face:

"Plenty, and stripes down the side"

The humorist seemed to be disappointed in
some way, for he mumbed something and
sneaked away, looking as crushed as ba
mana peel under 200 pound mans boot. |
asked the man at the window if he had many
customers of this kind He laughed and said
that the travelling men usually had fun with
him when they had time. Chicago Mail
