A Car Full of Passengers Gets Loose ana
Flies Down a Mountain.
READING, Pa, Aug. GA horrible &C
cident occurred yesterday forenoon shortly
before II o'clock on the Mount Penn Grav-
ity railroad, a mountain route encircling
Mount Penn, 800 feet above the city OF
Reading. The road was opened five
months ago, and has been doing good
business ever since. The cars were taken
from n point on the outskirts of the city
to the top of the mountain, distance OF
five miles. On returning the cars were al
lowed to 90 down the mountain by grav-
ity. by way of another route, to the point
of starting.
The Passenger Car Gets Away.
Yesterday about 1890 o'clock car con-
tanning about eighteen passengers was
taken from the station to the top of the
mountain. This consumed about thirty
minutes. On top of the mountain there Is
high stone tower where the passengers
were allowed to alight to enjoy the scenery
| for thirty miles around. This time, be-
fore the passengers could get off, the car
| Uot away in some manner and started
| down the grade. 1t went down the incline
| like n flash, the brake wouldn't work from
| some unknown reason, and at the end OF
the line the car was reduced to kindling
wood. How any of the passengers escaped
alive is mystery; as it is the casualty list
is bad enough.

Dan Loclwood's Great Effort.

new pair of shoes. Late i'm the after
noon of the great day the shoes came
But, good heavens they wouldn't go
on. Dan hadn't another pair fit for
use. He summoned the shoemaker to
a conference, and, while the perspira-
ton rolled off his face. he explained
the situation.
That's nothing" said Crispin; get
a couple of eggs and break one into
each shoe.
Dan did so, and the result was charm
ing. He went into those shoes like a
ducks foot in the mud His vale
dictory was the greatest effort of Lock
woods career up to that date The
words were honeyed and the gestures
as graceful as a snake swallowing a

spellbound. But right in the midst Of
it the author stopped. Agony was in
carnate in his features. His hair rose
on end. He became pale and red in

Diamonds That Are safe.

Extremely valuable diamonds are al
most perfectly safe property a gen
tleman who possessed one valued at
$50, 900 passed it freely from hand to
hand in a large commercial establish
ment, and even allowed a man whom
he knew nothing about to take it out
of the room.
Il should think you would be afraid
that it would be stolen" some one
said
The owner of the diamond smiled.
''Its value is its protection" he said.
"A thief, in order to realize anything
upon that diamond. would have to take
it to a large dealer, and the diamond is
perfectly well known to every such
dealer in America or Europe It would
be recognized and held at once. F."
But could not the thief have it cut
up into small diamonds. and sold in
that way?"
'"To be cut, it would have to go either
to Amsterdam or TO one of two or
three men in America. In either case
it would be found registered, with my
name as its owner. 1t would be of no
more real value to the thief than
lump of coal. Youths Companion.

JosHUA's DAYS NUMBERED.


In looking up the peculiar names
given each Of the twelve months of the
year it becomes necessary for us to go
back to the old Romans who have i'm
posed upon us d set of names equally
as absurd as those which the NOrsemen,
the Scandinavians and SaXons applied
to the week. January is named from
Janus, the god of doors and gates, be-
cause the month opens the year; some
say that he is q two faced god, and
could look back on the last year and
forward TO the coming. February is
from februo, to purify. March was
originally the first month, and was
named for Mars, the god of war. April
is from aperire, to open, because the
buds open in that month.
May is from Main, a goddess; June
is from Juno, the patron of marriage,
and is, therefore, the favorite month
Julius Caesar and August for Augustus
Caesar. Originally August had but
thirty days, and February twenty-nine
in the common year and thirty in leap
years Augustus was jealous that
julius month should have more days
than his own; therefore, he took one
from February and added it TO August.
September October, November, De-
cember are so called because they were
originally the seventh, eighth, ninth
and tenth months of the year. The
names are inappropriate and rank mis-
nomers as now applied. -Ex change.

A FREE CHURCH EXPERIMENT.


The Conspicuous Success Which a Boston
Congregation Has Achieved.
When, nearly three years ago, the
Berkeley Street Congregational church,
in this city, made its pews free, in

to three, opened its doors from Sunday
morning until Saturday night, and in

The enterprise has now passed
through the critical and trying period
of its history, and seems to be on a
permanent basis 1t has had, of course
to feel its way into the heart of the
problem of city evangelizatiOn; it has
encountered difficulties and discourage
ments; but it has gone steadily on to
larger successes, and commands today
the respect and the confidence of the
entire Congregational denomination

What shall the inscription be? There

fore thee all the days of thy life.
But it is time for Joshua to go home
II is 10 years old. Washington went
down the Potomac, and at Mount Yer
non closed his days Wellington died
peacefully at Apsley House. Now,
where shall Joshua rest? Why, he is
to have his greatest battle now. After
ITO years he has to meet king, who
has more subjects than all the present
population of the earth, his throne a
pyramid of skulls, his parterre the
grave yards anG the cemeteries of the
world, his chariot the worlds hearse-
the king of terrors. But if this is Josh
ua's greatest battle it is going to be
Joshua's greatest victory. He gathers
his friends around him and gives his
valedictory, and it is full of reminis
cence.
Young men tell what they are going
to do; old men tell what they have
done And as you have heard q grand
father or great-grandfather, seated by
the evening fire, tell of Monmouth or
Yorktown, and then lift the crutch or
staff, as though it were a musket, to
fight, and show how the old battles
were won, SO Joshua gathers his friends
around his dying couch, and he tells
them the story of what he has been
through and as he lies there, his white
locks showing down on his wrinkled
forehead, | wonder if God has kept
his promise all the way through. AS
he lies there he tells the story one, two
or three times-you have heard old
people tell a story two or three times
Overland he answers, 81 go the way
of all the earth, and not one word of
the promise has failed, not one word
thereof has failed; all has come to
pass, not one word thereof has failed"
And then he turns to his family, as a
dying parent will, and says: Choose
now whom you will serve, the God of
Israel or the God of the Amorites.
As for me and my house, we will serve
the Lord.
A dying parent cannot be reckless or
thoughtless in regard to his children.

Old Times Recalled by n Prairie Schooner.
There was an interesting sight on
Broadway last week, and it brought
back to many the thoughts of days
long, long ago. 1t was nothing less
than ''prairie schooner" with canvas
top and sides, barrel of water between
the wheels with a bucket dangling be-
meath the feed box, and all the other
necessaries for journey across the
plains The picture was complete in
every detail, for the cumbersome wagon
was drawn by three horses, with rope
harness, and a little colt trotted de-
murely behind On the seat was a
brawny looking man in flannels and
overalls, with his wife attired in cotton
dress and big straw hat on one side,
and a freckle faced boy on the other.
The journey had evidently been a long
one, for ali were travel stained, and
were watched and commented on by
all they met. They went slowly up
