Queer Story Of . Smoker Told By

queer Story OF . SMOKER Toio ~
staid and Pros.ie Physician.
1t was after dinner at Young'e. says
the Boston Globe. A well-known
Commonwealth avenue physician has
been dining with few professional
cronies, and, as the cigars were light
ed, the talk drifted to the tobacco
habit, first in its effect upon the race at
large, and then in it's peculiar effects
upon various individuals.
II know man." said the elder
physician, whose income, by the way,
runs into five figures, ,in fact, he is
now In my employ, who is the victim
Of tho strangest whims in regard to
the use of the weed that ever came
under my observation. He is Scotch
man about sixty years old. Twelve
years ago he deserted from the Eng
lish navy and came to this country,
when I gave him position as coach
man.
Zone morning went into the stable
and noticed that hole about two feet
square had been cut in partition be-
tween two stalls and little shelf had
been nailed up underneath it.
wondered what on earth 1t had been
done for, but Donald was away at the
time, and when he came back it had
slipped my mind.
at was as much as week after
ward before I had occasion to go into
the stable again. and when did found
Donald standing on stool, leaning his
elbow on the shelf, with long clay
pipe in his mouth, smoking away like
a good one and blowing the smoke
through the little window he had cut.
Upon my questioning him he told me
that of the twenty years he had passed
in her majesty's service ten OF them
had been on board power ship, where
the rules against smoking were very
strict.
During all this time he had been
accustomed four times n day to stand
upon a chest and lean out OF portfolio
to smoke, SO that no one would smell
him, and when at last he took French
leave he found that he could not get
any satisfaction out OF pipe unless in
dulged in in the old posture, and SO,
from that day to this, you can find him
after each meal, and for half an hour
before going to bed, standing on that
stool, blowing his smoke through the
little window"

METALLIC TIES.

Iron Proves to he Vastly Better Than tho
Costly Wood,
Metallic railway ties are by no
means new invention, although the
railway companies of the United States
have been singularly backward in
adopting them. They were laid upon
European roads as early as 1860, and
since that time the number has in
creased, SO that in 1890. no less than
10, ,222 miles OF track were laid with
them. In addition to this, there We're,
in the same year. 1891 miles in Africa,
9S14 in Asia, chiefly in India, and 37SS
in Mexico, Central and South America;
but in the United States, nation usu-
ally in the lead of all Improvements,
there were only two miles, these hav-
ing: been put down as expert ment.
Quite aside from the question of cost,
it would seem that that of safety, alone,
were of sufficient Importance to justify
the substitution of u substantial metallic
tie for the short-lived wooden one, with
its unreliable fastening. Three-fourths
of a mile OF track were laid with these

were laid at a point where the ballast
was light gravel, and the traffic eighty
regular trains in one direction each
day, the heaviest engine weighing &c.
600 pounds, with $4,000 pounds on
each pair of drivers. During the fif-
teen months that the ties have been
down, 81, 500 trains have passed over
them; and Mr.. Clarke, the manager,
states that the cost of maintenance has
been SO small as to be hardly worth
taking into consideration. The ends
of the rails, where those laid upon
wooden ties become slightly fattened,
had remained perfectly smooth and
even, indicating the absence of the

over the section had been US if it were
laid with continuous rails. The rails
had stood perfectly upright. and had
worn evenly upon the top. The freez-
ing and thawing of two winters had
had no effect upon the track, which
had remained in perfect line and sur
face. The fastenings had remained
good, and the track was as firmly held
as when first laid.
