A Sleeping Car Episode.
BILL NYE.


On board q sleeping-car at late
hour the other evening going south
from Washington, an odd thing oc-
Cured, as such things are apt to,
especially on board sleeping-car.
Most OF the berths were made up for
the night and the berth marks at
tached to them by the porter so that
INSCRIPTIONS pet pc would not get
into the erroneous berth. A party
of us, however, sat in a section on
one side of the car waiting for our
turn to come when the porter would
drive us out and make our beds.
All at once, on the opposite side o.
the car, a slender foot and ankle
clothed only in IL Isle thread stocking
and pink garter shot out from be-
tween the curtains as we rounded a
curve. Fearing that another lurch
might throw the proprietor of said
limb clear out of the berth, | looked
out OF the window for some little time,
but looked back again directly, hop
ing yet fearing.
You cannot understand how the
silence fell upon us. We broke off in
the middle of q story and nc
one spoke. The road was very
rough and We all waited for another
violent lurch of the train. Evidently
the owner of the limb was asleep, for
we could hear a regular breathing in
that berth which indicated slumber
1t was trying time. claimed that
something ought to be done, and
spoke to the cond actor about it, but
he said he didn't shink it deserved
the large amount OF attention it was
receiving.
But a middle-aged lady took the
matter in hand on beG..lf of her sex
Men i'll the car had quit eading and
playing cards, and were more wake
full than they had been before. Sc
she slipped across the aisle silently
and touched the extended foot very
gently, but it dn'trecoil. Then she
took hold of it with the idea of re
placing it inside the curtains, l pre-
sumo. Anyway at that moment the
car gave a wild twist, which Jared
the teeth in my head and knocked
everybody off his or her pins, as the
case might be. 1t threw strangers
together in II friendly way and mixed
up people so that the porter had to
come and indemnity them by theil
berth checks and strawberry marks
1t was ut this moment the middle
aged and kind-hearted old woman
whose name | did not know, sal
down in my lap, and in her hand sh,
held a beautiful cork leg, with tn,

welted me over the head.

In the Cow Stable.

Where COWS are MIXED in the stable
cleanliness is the most important es-
sential. If the gutter is in the right
place the COW herself need not be
soiled by excrement. All should be
removed before milking begins. Many
cows will void more after the milking
has begun, and it is better to stop
work and cover the droppings with
n handful of land plaster than to con-
tinue milking while every stream
passes through air filed with foul
oders. tits not merely for cleanliness
that this should be done. The plaster
helps to fix in the manure pile am
monia that would otherwise be lost.

The Scheme Didn't Work.

A BrEssels lace merchant had re
ceived from a Belgian, residing in
Paris, an order for a quantity of
Malines lace. The goods were care
fully packed in lead coffin, which
was dispatched to the Paris address
as containing corpse. The Paris
merchant had to wait SO long for the
arrival of the "body" that he at
length complained to the manager of
the Northern Railway, who informed
him that the coffin had been detained
at the frontier owing to the nom
compliance with certain prescribed
formalities relating to the transmits
sion of corpses. The merchant at
once took train to Quievrain,
dressed in solemn black and with a
mourning band round his hat, and
wearing an expression of profound
sadness. But in spite of his emphat-
ic protest against such an act of des-
ecration the officials insisted on OPEN
ing the coffin, when the truth came
to light and the ingenious smuggler
was taken into custody.

BY this time the seine was coming
up to the bank, and in it appeared,
truly enough, the bridge of walnut

was not to be doubted that during
the night the bridge had been sawed
across the middle. The men who
dragged it out were staring with sur
