Heavy Damages for Railroad Injuries.

The heaviest damages that were ever
paid for an injury to single man was
S45, 900, paid by the Grand Trunk,
after trying the case three times. Tho
jury increased the damages at each trial.
Among the most costly accidents ever
known in the country were those on the
New York Central at New Hamburg,
on the Lake Shore at Ashta5ula, on tho
Eastern at Revere, and on the West Jer-
sey at Mays Landing. The last was
proportionately the cheapest settled, as
the company paid only SS1, 900 for
about nineteen deaths and injuries to
about twice as many.
The collision at Revere cost the East
ern over $780, 900 for less than twenty
deaths, among them two distinguished
clergymen; the Ashtabula cost over
quarter of million, and one at wollas.
ton, on the Old Colony, cost about the
same. The Eastern settled one case,
growing out Of the Revere accident, for
S25, 900, without taking it into court.
The Chatsworth accident, on the Toledo,
Peoria & Western, was the most costly
to human life, the deaths being 141, but
tho claims were settled for about quar-
ter of million, as the company could
not Fay any more. II the case had been
pushed the stockholders would have
been obliged to hand over the road |;
their equity in II after the first mortgage
was little more than the loss. Mail and

AS YOU GO THROUGH LIFE.


Don't look for the flaws as you 60 through
life;
And even when you find them,
II is wise and kind TO be somewhat blind
And look for the virtue behind them.
For the cloudiest night has a hint OF light
Somewhere in its shadows hiding;
uis better by far to hunt for star.
Than the spots on the sun abiding.
The current Of life runs ever away
To the bosom of Gods great ocean.
Don't set your force 'gainst the rivers course
And think to alter its motion
Don't waste curse on the universe
Remember, it lived before you.
Don't butt at the storm with your puuny
form
But bend and let II so Ger you.
The world will never adjust itself
To suit your whims TO the letter.
Some things must 90 wrong your whole life
long,
And the sooner you know It the better.
II is folly to fight with the Infinite,
And go under at last In the wrestle.
The wiser man, shapes into Gods plan
AS the water shapes into vessel.
Ella ". Wilcor. in Ladies' Home Journal.

the remedy prescribed by the doctor was

was done and the chief is now awaiting
his trial at Maritzburg in consequence.

The Prairie Farmer does not take
much stock in the suggestion of a con-
tractor of Chicago, to pump out the lake
front after building a coffer-dam around
800 or 400 acres of water. To build the
worlds fair in the bottom of the lake
would be unique; the project is feasible,
of course, but who wants to go down
twenty feet below the water line to see a
great expositionl There would be con-
slant dread of possible inbreak Of the
watersl If so, what thena A great scare
and loss Of life. The worlds fair will
not be held on the bottom or the top OF
Lake Michigan.

v. 4. BISHOP, Island Pond, VI

When I next woke I did so with
start, and, trembling all over, sat bolt
upright in bed.
My breath came in quick, spasmodic
gasps, my heart beat wildly, and my
eyes became fixed in a horrid stare upon
the curtain which covered the secret
door.
Undeuiably there were footsteps com.
ing slowly and stealthily down the hidden
staircasel
The fire burnt dimly in the CRATE,
casting an unnatural, ghostly light oveI
the scene, and horribly weird did that
large, oak-paneled room look by that
feeble, fickering light. Utterly power.

waking nightmare as those footsteps
came nearer and nearer, until at last they
stopped Just outside the door.
tried to close my eyes; but, mol some
strange uncanny influence seemed to hold
them riveted upon the curtain, which
presently was slowly drawn aside.
Very stealthily the thin emaciated
figure of a tall woman entered the room.
Slowly and noiselessly this blaok-robed-
figure crossed over to one OF the windows,
pulled back the curtains with long,
blue white hand, and stood gazing out.
ward in the soft brilliant light of the full
moon.
Still unable to stir finger or utter q
single word, I seemed to live lifetime,
while that shrouded figure stood there in
that weird light with its back toward
me.
Suddenly it moved, turned toward
me, and began to rapidly move across
the room toward the bed in which !
lay.
Murder and insanity were plainly
visible upon the face of the woman who
approached me. Her long cloak was
thrown back, and in her right hand she
held a large and extremely awkward
looking knife. But, ali, Heavenl the
relief Of it 1t was living woman with
whom I had to deal
Another second aud l had reused
Molly, and was out OF bed, struggling
with my friend, whom l so much sur
prised by the quickness of my movements
that, with only the matter Of two un-
pleasant gashes, one on my hand and
another on hers, I succeed in wrestling
the knife from her and throwing it far
away out of the open window.
Then it merely became a case Of phys
ical strength, and, as l was luckily
strongly built woman, l held my own
satisfactorily against her, until Molly
brought everyone in the house into the
haunted room, by her screams in the cor.
ridor outside it.
1t proved to be the housekeepor. who
had lived at Warneford for nearly fifty
years, and whom no one had ever con-
nected with the ghost in the haunted
room, although the servants declared
that they had always known that she
suffered from fits of insanity, but that
they had never cared to mention it,
knowing that she was favorite and a
valuable cid servant. They had believed
her to be quite harmless.
A little mistake, by the way, which
might have been awkward for me.

The Shoe and Leather Reporter says:
"a noticeable thing about the statues
found in ourmuseums of art, and sup
posed to represent the perfect figures OF
ancient men and women, is tho apparent
disproportionute size of their feet, We
moderns are apt to pronounce them too
large, particularly those of the women. 1t
will be found, however, that for sym
metrlcsi perfection these feet could not
be better. A Greek sculptor would not
think of such thing as putting nine
inch foot on five-and -one-half-foot wo'
man. Their types for these classical
marble figures we're taken from the best
forms of living persons" The Reporter
goes on to show that we'll proportoned

Shoes for Every Occasion.

1t is easy to account for the increased
consumption of shoes. Our ancestors of
either sex seldom possessed more than
one pair of "best" shoes for Sun
days and special occasions. A stout
pair made of morocco, carefully put
away when not in use, lasted woman
two or three years at least. A pair of

nounced fraud by the masculine wearer
if they gave out beyond hope of repair
inside of the second year for dress occa-
sions. With these old timers there
were but two specific kinds of footgear
Now we have shoes for almost every pur-
pose, for the drawing room, bedside,
garden, street, seashorc, mountain
what yon will--for tennis, walking,
jumping and sitting still in. Many peo-
pie have several pairs of comparatively
new shoes at q time, because of their
cheapness, and it is an economy, for it
divides tho wear among great number.
Footwear for specific purposes is not
only sensible and economical, but is adj
vantageous to the feet. The man who
runs a race requires sole that will take
a short, quick grip, and the spike pre-.

For walking match generous pressure
of the foot at ball and heel, and shoes
strictly conforming to the shape and mo-

trotter's light shell shoe would give the
Norman draught horse no purchasing
power to pull his load, and heavy,
clumsy shoe on the trotter would lose
him the race.-Shoe and Leather he.
