Two Railroad Wrecks.

About the queerest wreck l was
ever in. said retired brakesman with
one arm. was on the Chesapeake and
Ohio, near enterprise Ky. We were
coming up a hill with a heavy train
when suddenly around a curve came
box car loaded with hoop poles. The
car had been left on the siding at En-
terprise. presumably without n brake
set. and during the night it had been
blown on the main track by the wind.
When it hit ouI engine it broke i've
draw bars and broke the train in three
parts, but luckily we kept the dislnem-
bered train from running away. The
whole front of the engine was broken
in, but no one WAS hurt \ big bunch
of hoop poles was found wedged in the
cylinder of the engine | don't think
the cause of the wreck was ever discov-
cred, although the agent was dis
charged on account of the wreck.
THE oldest sight ever see, broke
in an engineer, was near Wheeling,
where two camelback engines collided.
was up in the cab running one, when
the other train dashed around the
curve. We were both running about
twelve miles an hour | was thrown
from the cab, alighting on the cab of
the rival train. Both the stacks were
jammed together, and the two cabs
looked liked one No one was injured" p"

Macaroni is an article of diet that

Mr.. Gladstone, who at one time when
in office received thirty thousand let
ters a year, has always been remarka-
BILE for personally attending to his cor
respondenee, and his autograph is,
perhaps, more familiar than that of
any other English statesman. In every
department Of state with which he has
had anything to do he has left behind
him tradition for order and regu.
larity, and il is said that he perfected
the science Of getting a maximum of
work out of private secretaries.
When in Office he kept six sets Of
pigeon holes constantly going, and he
would have all his own letters copied,
even those he wrote from the house Of
commons to the house of lords. He
also. OF course, in common with most
other men in his position, got his secre-
taries 20 so through the daily papers
and extract such items as it was neces.
sary he should see. London Tit Bits.

Ancient Chimney aud Fireplace.

The first chimney was built in a house
in the Fourteenth century. 1t was the
fireplace of today, with scarcely varia-
ton. In some cases the halls and
lodges of the great lords We're provided
with banqueting room in which one
whole end of the apartment was taken
up by the chimney. This was largely
for the purpose of cooking, and whole
OK was often roasted in sight of the
table on which it was later served. Dis
tant portions of the room were cold,
but, as the people were warriors and
roughened in fiber by constant expos
ure, they were supposed to get along
with an occasional turn in the warm
end of the room while the feast was
preparing.
But if a pilgrim, a palmer, a man
who had been 10 the Holy Land, should
come along, he was favored guest
and was allowed TO sit in the place of
honor at the side of the great fireplace
and to regale himself ON the choicest
Of the viands and the best of wine, re-
paying the host for the entertainment
later by singing or chanting an account
of his experiences in the land of the
Saracens. Chicago Herald.

In Germany the telegraphs are the
property Of the government. The pro-
prietors of large number Of daily
newspapers, believing that they were
required 20 pay too high change for
their telegraphic messages, petitioned
the government for decrease Of the
preSs rates. The petition was referred
to the Emperor William lie eonsid-

upon the margin: The present rate is
not too high. The useless dispatches
that the newspapers publish every day

Geological gardens in London and,
standing by the glass case containing
the cobra di capello, put his forehead
against the glass while the cobra struck

them; Darwin's mind was perfectly
convinced as to the inability of the
snake to harm him, yet he would al,
ways dodge. Time after time he tried

The majority Of the very rich men
live in comparative simplicity. | was
chatting with one the other day-a
man whose estate, to use the colo
quialism Of the bank, would probably
''cut up" not less than 5000, 600, and
he asserted that almost all of the busy
men who had accumulated enormous
fortunes were so exhausted by the eff
fort which was required to get pos
session of so great an amount that IN
their private life they courted nothing
but repose.
The strain of social entertainment on
a large scale is very great. and there are
few men who are equal to it unless
they give up entirely their business re-
lations. 1t is a marvel to many busi-
ness men how Cornelius Vanderbilt, for
instance, can attend as steadily and
faithfully as ne does TO the business of
the New York Central railway system,
and to the very great demands made
upon him TO secure a satisfactory rein
vestment of his income, and yet devote
so much time as he does to social enter
tainment.
The only explanation which occurs to
busy men is that Mr.. Vanderbilt is still
young. and that he finds some recrea-
ton in giving elaborate dinners and in
dancing until the small hours of the
