n Carload Indicator.

A device that will enable a railroad
employee to determine when a car is
loaded consistent with safety or with
economical rel has been a 'long felt
want" in railroad circles. An appara-
tus has been invented to supply this
demand, and owing to it's simplicity it
is likely to come into great favor. The
device consists of two distinct parts,
the upper part being attached to the
truck, above the spring on the side of
the car, while the other part is fixed
below the spring. An adjustable pin
is carried by the top part, and the bot
tom end OF this touches an index finger
that works over the dial of the bottom
piece. When the apparatus is one ad-
justed the index, as the ':ar is loaded,
will indicate on the dial full load or
overloaded" as the Ease may be-

A Unique Method OF ssCrlbbin4."

The following incident occurred in
Scotland: "A preliminary examination
in connection with a bursary was held
in n of the towns of Lanarkshire, the
place of examination being the parish
school.
When the morning of the examina-
ton arrived one of the competitors was
noticed to be wearing a pair of spec
tacles. AS this was a new departure
on his part, some remarks were of
course made, but he explained it by
saying that his eyes were naturally
weak, and he had put spectacles on
just for that day, to c%ounteract the
effect of too continuous writing. This
appearing satisfactory, no further notice
was taken of it.
However, during the progress of the
examination, he was noticed frequently
to look intently on the desk, as il
searching for something. This oc-
Cured so often that at the conclusion
the examiner asked him what he had
been doing. lie, however, replied that
he had done it to relieve his eyes.
Being, however. still dubious, the ex.
aminer then asked permission to look
at the ~spectacles, on which he discov-
cred that they were strong magni1ers.
His suspicious being aroused. he put
them on and examined the desk, on
which he discovered various figures and
notes traced with some fine instrument
IN the woodwork, Seeing that ex-
posure was inevitable the competitor
made a full confession, on which it APP
peared that he had entered the room
tie night before through tue window.

Why Some People Married.

The reasons that ON me give for
having married some women are only
to be surpassed by the reasons some
women give for marrying some men.
There was the man who married his
wife because she was left handed, and
it amused him to see her sew with the
off hand, as he said. There was the
young woman who married her hus.
band because he was fat, and was &C
handy to sit on her books of autumn
leaves in the fall and press them. Then
there was another woman, presumably
not so young, who finally married the

LITTLE SISTER,.

Little sister, rohed in white,
There with folded hands she lies.
Breathless silence on her lips,
Endless slumber on her eyes.
Leaving earth with no regrets
Clinging to her h~eavenward feet,
AL that she has known of life
Was to grow more fair and sweet.
Yesterday she was our own,
Ours to comfort, love and teach.
Now she seems q wondrous star
Shining far beyond our reach.
Lay the scattered toys aside,
Fold the little clothes away,
Smooth the empty trundle bed
No moro needed day by day.
Angels shall attend her now,
With immortal food and rest;
Leading her with tendercst care
Through the garden of the blessed.

YOUTHFUL CHAPERONS.

One of the Funny Things That tho Re.
male College Has Given Us.
I have a little cousin no bigger than
my thumb.
Well, that is not strictly true and
substantial as a fact, but it will do rs a
figure of speech.
She is a wonderful little creature, as
bright as a dollar and as pretty as a
fairy. She went through school and
went through college like a streak of
creased lightning, feminine gender.
She graduated at the top of the class,
and the only limit to her honors was
that the supply gave out. l would not
dare to tell the age at which she got
her sheepskin, it vas so little.
Now there is a certais kind of fame
which travels quick, and when my
pretty little cousin made up her mind
to teach for a year or two, pending the
time when the hero should come and
set her to darning socks and making
cake, the offers poured in from all
quarters of the compass. You would
have thought that teachers were the
scarcest kind of an article, and so l
suppose they are-that is, real smart
ones.
She took her pick of a number of
gilded offers, modestly declining to be
made president Of Il western college,
and sticking up her nose at a mere pub
lie school principalship.
AS a happy medium and good thing
to practice on she took a position in a
fashionable young ladies' seminary in
the city of New York, with about three
hours a day of work and a nice fat
salary attached. Oh, my little cousin
is smart in more ways than one. She
knows on which side of her bread tc
look for butter and molasses.
But the joke of it is that in the school
to which she has gone the teachers have
to play the part of chaperons to the
young ladies when they wish to add
Days or Theodore Thomas special
branches to the curriculum of their stud
les. 1t is all very pretty in theory, but
it looks decidedly funny to see my
sweet little seventeen-year-old cousin,
just a. full of fun us she is of Greek
and mathematics, engaged in the SOL
m duty of escorting a lot of nineteen
year-old mi1es to places of amuse-
ment. l don't wish to give my cousin
away, nor will l mention the particular
school which is blessed by her presence
and dignity, but I don't mind telling
in confidence that it's not many miles
from Fifth avenue, and that when she
is going to convoy a 1otilla of darlings
she sends me a warning word, and if
ever a fellow gets the worth of his matt
nee tickets l happen to know the man.
My blessings on the youthful chap
eronl She is filling a long. felt want

SUNSET IN THE FOO.

Tho cold gray fog of the winter duy
Held sea and land in thrall;
Silent the vessels at anchor lay;
a spell was over oil.
The narrow lines of each vessel bound
The limit of their sphere;
Beyond was naught but a world of sound
a world of doubt ant fear.
From the wards the sails bcdraggled hung,
Borfcrcd by drops of dew;
Fcathcry mists from the halyards flung,
Like ghost!y pcnnons flew;
While the masthead pierced the misty
gray
And vanished at tho spars.
The ratiincs.aeen bat a step away
Were narrow prison bars.
But sudden a golden glamour stole
AS through n tiny seam;
1t spread till the glory lit the whole,
And lightcned beam to beam.
No shadow fell from the ray of light:
The wind and sea were still;
sight
Behind the distant hill.
We saw it not as the golden ray
Gave place to tints of rose;
And the lnists, no longer cold and gray.
About us seemed to close.
They closer grew as the rose light died.
The mists took OH their frown,
And the gloom that came from either
side
Told that the sun was down.

Sight and Smoking.

The question of smoking was the topic
under discussion, and one Of the party ad-
vanced a theory that if a person were
blind he could not tell whether he were
smoking or not. The idea was secuted by
the devotees of the pipe, and the discussion
waxed warm. Finally it was proposed TO
make a practical test of the question, and
bets on the result were Immediately Oh.
A new pipe was procured and one of the
tobacco users was selected to try the ex-
pertinent. After his eyes were bandaged
a pipe filled with tobacco was given him.
The experimeter heard the noise of a
striking match, and when a few moments
later he was asked if he was smoking
replied, Like tar kiln"
He puffed away contentedly at the IN
lighted pipe, and could hardly believe his
eyes when the bandage was removed and
he saw that the pipe was not lighted
The bandage was replaced, and during
the operation the tobacco was ignited by a
taper, and when the pipe was given him
the bowl resembled young Vesuvius, but
the smoker calmly insisted that no fire had
been near it.
The experiment was tried on others, and
almost invariably with the same result
