Fads of Railroad Engineers.

Said an old railway engineer the 9TH
or day: There are three kinds of
trains that l do not want to have any
thing to do with. One is the pay train.
You never know when you will over
take the section hands. You will be
going at the rate of forty miles an hour,
away you go around a curve, and you
will dash by the boss and hands, and
have to go back to them. There is
always good deal of talk over the
wages, and much time is taken up.
The next unpleasant train to handle is
an excursion train. Every one living
along the line of road knows you from
seeing you come by every day, and
they think you know them as we'll.
When on an excursion they presume
upon their friendship to endeavor to
ride on the engine. No other place
will do them. The engineer has to re-
fuse them, as it would amount to dock
ing his wages from thirty to sixty days,
if he complied, as it is positively
against the rules of the road. The per-
sons denied the privilege always feel
hard about it. and look upon the en-
gineer as accommodating The last
and worst of all, however, is the Off
GERS train. If you run slow they say
you are scared and fear to run fast.
If you make good time they say youi
are careless and reckless, and want to
kill somebody. You can't suit them"

BELLS OF bethlehem.
The Prettiest Women to BE Found Around
Jerusalem.

There is market inside the Jatfa
gate. and can see it just under me as
| write. Great piles of oranges and
lemons lie upon the flag sidewalk, and
there are scores of women with baskets
of vegetables before them. Many OF
these are from Bethlehem, and the
Bethlehem girls are the prettiest you
see in Jerusalem. They have straight,
well-rounded forms, which they clothe
in long linen dress of white, beauti
fully embroidered in silk, so that a
single gown requires many months oil
work. This dress is much like ian
American woman's night gown without
the frills and laces. 1t falls fromEhe
neck to the feet and is open at tie
front of the neck in a narrow slit as
far down as a modest decollete fashion
able dsess.. Over this they,have sleeve
less cloaks of dark red stripes and
their heads are covered with long
shawls of linen beautifully embroid-
cred. just above her forehead each
girl carries her dowry in the shape Of
a wreath-like strip of silver coins
which stand on end fastened to string,
and crown the forehead with money.
Some of the girls have several rows of
these coins and some have crowns Of
gold. Not a few have coins of silver
and gold the size of our $50 gold pieces
hung to strings about their necks, and
none of the women hide their pretty
faces, as do those Mohammedan girls
near by, who, in shapeless white gowns
with tlowery white and red wells cover
ing the whole OF their faces, look like
girls playing ghosts in white sheets.
Beside these are Russian girls in the
peasant costumes of modern Europe
and Jewish maidens in gowns and
lowered shawls. There are Greek
priests, with high, black caps, and
monks of all kinds, such as YOU see
under the black cowls of Europe. The
Syrian, the Turk, the Bedouin. the
African, the Armenian and the Greek,
are all in that crowd below me, and
among them all is the form Of the
ubiquitous American traveller, who, in
pith helmet hat and green sun umorel-
la, has conquered the East as well as
the West.-F. &. Carpenters Jerusa-

His Reason for Moving.

Darling" said the young man, as
be tenderly raised the lovely head from
the place where it had rested an hour
or more, got up, sat down again on the
other side of the beautiful maiden, and
once more drew the golden curls to
his bosom, ''you have no objection to
this slight change of position, have

.Your heart is on this side.''

piece of historical Latin prose, in yery
much the style of Livy. He instantly
hurried to the racquet-maker; but in
vain. The man could only tell hin
that he had fallen in with mass OF
parchment and that it nsd long since
been used up in the making of racquet
bats.
More fortunate than the tutor was a
scholar named Musso, who CHANGED
one afternoon to enter bookbinder's
shop in Paris. Noticing that the man
was about to cut up mass of manu-
script, he begged leave to examine it.
To his surprise he found that he had
hit upon the works of Agobard, a
learned prelate of the ninth century.
Seeing its value Musso purchasedthe
manuscript, and thus preserved a
volume which contained many valuable
details of those early days.
The recovery of the "Ethiopica'' OF
Heliodorus, Christian bishop of the
fourth century, is cited as little short
of miraculous. During the sack of
Ofen, in 1926, a common soldier saw
a manuscript lying in the streets, be.
grimed with dirt and trampled under
foot by his comrades, who were intent
on plundering the houses. Noticing
that it was richly bound he picked it
up and conveyed it to Germany, where
it was shortly after printed and became
one of the most popular romances Of
the times.
Still more remarkable was tho dis
covery of Martin Luther's-.sRss
Talk" In the year 1926 Germh
gentleman named Carbarus Won Sprr
was engaged in building new hose.
In the course of their excavation the
workmen came upon a small sfuare
package wrapped in strong linepcloth
which had been carefully plasteed all
over with beeswax. On opening and
examining the parcel a volume was
discovered. This volume was Euther's
work, the only copy in existence. 1t
had evidently been buried by Won
Sparrs grandfather to escape the pen
atty of an edict issued by Rudolph H.,
at the instigation of Pore Gregory
XIII, making it death for any one to
possess the work. The loss of this
book would have been d great misfor-
tune, for without it we never should
have understood the character OF the
great reformer- never have known
what he was w-len surrounded by his
family and bis friends.

RECONClLED BY MUSIC.
An Incident of the Conquest of Californl
by the United States.

An Incident OF the Conquest oil California
by the United States.
The Spanish and Indian Californians
were passionately fond of music. All
the men could make shoes and play the
guitar, and every woman could sing
Spanish songs to her own accompani-
ment. Bancroft, in his California
PASTORAL" tells how the people, after
the conquest of the country by the
United states were reconciled to the
new rule by music.
The Californians were invited to re-
turn to their homes and resume their
usual occupations. Proclamations
which promised protection of their
persons and property were placarded
in the towns, but they would not come
out of their hiding places.
The Commodore whose naval force
had helped to conquer the country was
at Los Angeles, and, meeting Captain
Phelps, an old trader on the coast, re-
quested his help.
Commodore replied the captain,
s'you have fine band on your ship,
and such thing was never before in
this country. Let it play one hour in
the plaza each day at sunset and | as
sure you it will do more toward recon-
Cling the people than all your procla-
nations, which few of them can read"
The captains suggestion was adopted.
At first the children came forth and
peeped around the corners of the
houses. A few lively tunes brought on
the vivas of the older ones, and before
the band ceased playing they were sur
rounded by delighted. natives.
The next afternoon the plaza was
thronged with the people of the town,
and with ranchmen from distance,
who, having heard of the wonderful
band, had ridden in. The old priest
of the mission of San Gabriel. as he sat
by the church door opposite the plaza
listening to the music, was introduced
to several of the naval officers.
II have not heard a band" said the
old man, .'since left Spain over fifty
years ago. All! that music will dc
more service in the conquest of Cali
fornia than a thousand bayonets. y
