An Observant boy.

The boy of whom write is never at a
loss to find something to observe. Last
year heavy shower caught him while
he was fishing. From his retreat he kept
an eye out to SEQ whatever there was to
be seen, and shortly after observed the
dragon flies, great and little, settling in
the tall brook grass for shelter from rain.
Before the shower was fairly over he saw
the cedar birds come and drive the dragon
flies from their covert, hunting them
down in all their lace winged finery.
Tho great three inch dragon flies, pointed
with black and yellow, were too strong
for the birds, but the little slender fel-
lows, done up in fancy colors-brown,
green, blue and dusky-became meat for
the hunters.
Some time ago 1 demonstrated with
him for throwing stones at a king bird,
but l was told that he was doing it only
to please the bird. True enough, it did
please the bird. From his perch on high
tree tho king bird calculated the curve
of each stone, chattering defiance as the
missile whizzed by, rising a few feet
when it came too near, only to settle
again in the same place.
AS it amused both bird and boy, for sew
eral days the king bird returned daily to
enjoy the sport.-Cor. Forest and Stream.

Thrown from an Iceboat.

l remember the first time I ever
climbed into an iceboat. It was near
Saugerties, on the Hudson, about thirty
years ago. Three other passengers were
there, too, but was tho only novice.
was horribly afraid Of air holes, for
had heard great deal about them. See
ing one about fifty yards in front of us,
and directly in our track, I nervously
drew the steerman's attention to it.
"Do you think am blind?" he replied,
angrily, for l had bothered him that
way once or twice before. A second
later he shouted, "Hold on, all!' and L,
who had not held on fast enough, as the
boat spun away on another course, was
shot out of the craft and went sliding
along over the ice at wonderful rate of
speed. There was splash, and felt
the water close over my head. thought
we were all lost, for, in my fright and
confusion, had not noticed that l had
left the iceboat, but when rose, splut-
tering, to the surface, saw my COM
panions 200 feet away, and quite safe.
1t was who was in the air hole, and
was there alone.
1t was a quarter of an hour before
was fished out, half drowned and two
thirds frozen. Since that day l have
never attempted to offer suggestions to
the steersman, but have devoted my at
tention exclusively to my own business,
and chiefly to holding on when he tells
me.-New York Sun.

Metal Railway Ties.

There has been recently a lamentable
epidemic, SO to speak, of railroad acci-
dents owing to spreading of rails, result
ing in great loss of life and damage to
rolling stock. This series of disasters
commenced on Dec. 28, 1889, with the
derailment of fast train on the Chesa-
peake and Ohio, by which ten persons
lost their lives and great portion of the
train was destroyed. Since that date
there have been several wrecks of the
same nature, involving more fatalities
and much injury to person and property.
Without rejecting very closely on the
matter, the majority of the happy-go.
lucky travelling public takes for granted
that these spreading rail accidents can
not be avoided, whereas, in reality, they
belong to the category which may fairly
be termed ''preventable accident" This
will be a new light to many, but there
is no doubt that by the employment of
properly constructed metal tie of steel or
iron, and with proper fastenings, spread
ing of rails is impossible.-Engineering
and Mining Journal,

Tho Unlettered Make Progress,

Book learning does not make s per
cent. of that class of common sense that
runs the world, transacts its business,
secures its progress, trebles its power
over nature, works out in the long run a
rough average justice, wears away the
worlds restraints and lifts off its bur-
dens. Two-thirds of the inventions that
enable France to double the worlds sum
shine, and make old and New England
the workshops of the world, did not come
from colleges or from minds trained in
the schools of science, but struggled up
from the irrepressible instinct of un-
trained natural power. Her workshops,
not her colleges, made England for a
while the mistress of the world, and the
hardest job her workmen had was to
make Oxford willing he should work
his wonders.
Liberty and civilization are only frag-
ments of rights wrung from the strong
hands of wealth and book learning; al
most all the great truths relating to So
ciety were not the result of scholarly
meditation, but have been first heard in
the solemn protest of martyred patriotism
and the loud cries of crushed and starv-
ing labor. When common sense and the
common people had stereotyped prin-
..iple into a statute, then book men came
to explain how it was discovcred.-Wen-
dell Phillips.
