A south bound freight Just ahead
of the passenger had one pair of
trucks to jump the track just be-
yond where the wreck occurred and
ran two miles or more without this
accident ever being discovered,
when the train passed a public
crossing the trucks running up on
the heavy timbers put there for
wagons to go over the rails on, they
were thrown back on the track. not
however, before they had rendered
two miles or more of track very I'M
safe. The wheels that were on the
outside of the rail Clipped the
heads of nearly half the railroad
spikes and splintered every tie that
wasn't perfectly sound. It is a
great wonder that they didn't have
a wreck, and but for the mere acct
dent of the trucks jumping back
they would have had before they
reached Brennan. An engine and
caboose went up about 10 o'clock
and brought down the passengers

Education of Girls in Scandinavia.

Sweden provides literally for the
educational needs of women. Stock
holm has four government schools for
teaching women different crafts; the
annex of the mems technical training
school is also devoted to girl students,
who are taught various trades. This
school is attended by 10 pupils drawn
from the lower middle-clasa The
daughters Of work people have their
educational needs principally provided
for by the society for the encourage
ment of manual labor, which has found
ed nine schools, held in the evening
and on Sundays, wherein 700 young
girls receive an elementary, technical,
scientific and artistic education. An
other association, the society of the
friends of manual labor, promotes,
technically and commercially, the ma
tional feminine industries. The society
consists of 1000 members, who devote
themselves to the organization Of
schools, of studios and workshops.
The government of Norway provide
no less literally for the professional
education of the women. Private So
cieties also do great deal to this end
At Christiania technical school for
girls is attended by 200 pupils, and Ber-
gen and Trondjhem both have flourish
ing technical schools.

Peculiar Pursuits for Women.

Every year women seem to engage
more freely than ever before in peculiar
pursuits, says an exchange. A young
lady in England is just publishing an
account Of journey she made with
only valet, through wild part Of
Russia. She went on horseback and
travelled l,50O miles. She rode astride
and wore sort of DR.. Mary Walker
costume, which at times she covered
with coarse wooden gown. She slept
out at night on the ground, went bare
footed, ate vile food, lived in a discom-
fort equal to that of Stanley or Ken
nan, and all to write a book. Another
lady went over Alaska practically alone
and has written book, and for women
to 60 around the world alone, has be-
come so old story as to no longer fur
nish amusement or delight for anybody,
Women are famous fishers in Norway
during the summer, and last year sew
eral of the most notable mountain
climbs Of the season were made by
women.

How a Bright Woman Fooled a Veteran
Editor.
l found myself recently talking to
Mr.. George W. Childs-than whom wom-
an never had more sincere friend-on
his experience with women as
journalists. His words will interest
thousands of women, and l give them
verbatim. Said Mr. Childs: "Some of
the best writers on my paper are the
women editors Of it, and there is not
one Of them who is not paid for her
work exactly as though she were man.
l believe fully in this. 1t is true that
women have, in many quarters, been
underpaid for their labors; but am
convinced, from evidences have seen,
that this state of things is gradually be-
coming less. Let women be given fair
chance in business. They will very Of
ten do work ever better than men. In
proof Of this, let me give you an anec-
dote Of one Of my women writers:

They Are Often Seen.

What prodigious amount of anger
is evolved when anybody rises to object
to the too prevalent custom Of cigar
smokers making a nuisance of them
selves in public. People who carry
lighted cigars into the cars, or wlo send
smoke and ashes into street-car from
the front platform, or in other ways
and places show that they are not gen.
tlemen, understand quite well that they
annoy somebody. But they are indig-
nant that anybody should be annoyed.
They know that tobacco is unpleasant
to many people, and they are savage
because it is. The fact is that people
who respect the feelings of others are
getting very scarce, and it is one of the
consequences of the mob forcing itself
into ascendancy. The man who can
not ride few miles without the aid of
q bad cigar ought to walk.-Ram's II orn.

DRINK AND LONG LIFE.
A Comparison Between Total Abstinence
and Moderation.

Comparison Between Total Abstinenss
and Moderation.
When the death of a. centenarian IL
reported in the newspapers, it usually
ELECTS from the reporter one of two
comments. We are either told that the
deceased had been all his life total alb
stainer from tobacco and alcoholic
beverages, or else that he had always
INDUCED with moderation in those
stimulantA On such statesmen, even
if authentic, we could Aot base any
trustworthy inference regarding the eff
feet of alcohol upon longev1ty-frst be-
cause the facts are contradictory, and
secondly, because they are too few.
The large amount of data decided for
even provisional induction is now for
the first time presented by an English
Life insurance company, which has been
for some years collecting statistics
bearing on the subject. The Scepter
Life Association, which has been in ex-
istence for quarter of century, has
kept two records of the persons insured,
total abstainers being classed in ono
section and all other risks in another,
the so-called general section. Even
from the last-named category heavy
drinkers and persons engaged in the
liquor traffic are excluded. The data,
therefore, collected by the company are
intended to afford the means of COM
parison between total abstinence and
moderate indulgence in alcoholic bever-
ages, as regards tine effect upon lon.
gevity.
The results of the compan,1's ex-,
perience during the five years ending
December, 1888, have just been pub
lished. In the general section during
that period six Thousand seven hundred
lives were insured; in the abstinence
section; four thousand five hundred and
twenty In the general section
the actual deaths constituted only
seventy-six per cent of the deaths ex-
pected,. according to the British act
uaries' tables. On the other hard, in
the abstinence section the actual deaths
were only fifty-seven per cent. Of the
deaths expected The evidence sup.

mitted to be cogent, if not absolutely
conclusive. II indicates that even q
moderate drinker is much less likely
than a total abstaine1 to live to an ad,
vanced age.
Another interesting fact is brought
out by the medical examiner of this
life insurance company. He says that
in the examination OF many thousands
of applicants he has found that total
abstainers, as, a rule, exhibit much
cleaner condition OF the tongue, resem-
bling, indeed, that of young child. His
observations have also led him to concur
with the late Baron Liebig in affirming
that total abstainers eat more than
moderate drinkers--N. Y. Ledger.

but say nothing OF the change to any

''Some time after this the husband
died. On going to the Office in the
morning one Of my editors met me with
face a yard long. Mr.. Blank is dead,
said he, and don't know what we are
going to do without him. His articles
were such special feature. and there is
no one else in the country with ability
enough to write them

months?' persisted.
emo indeed; it is just there where the
improvement is noticeable. The older
he grew the better became his work.
And that makes it all the more discom-
forting to realize, that we can never Sc
cure any one who could do it one-tenth
as well, he added, mournfully.
"'Oh, yes we can answered. 1T
may interest you to know that for more
than year past Mr.. Blank has not
written line for the Ledger
"'Not written one line" gasped my
amazed editor.
"'No; for the last year and longer
Mrs. Blank has been doing her hus-
bands work, and she is still quite capa-
BILE of continuing to do So.
"And she did, and does to-day.
'"There, you can see, is a case where
veteran was fooled by woman's eff
cheney. Perhaps if Mrs. Blank had
come and asked permission to write the
articles her ability would have been
mistrusted and she would not have done
as good work as the feeling of conf
dence enabled her to turn out. La

Immense Quantities Consumed ut the
German Universities.
Students in Iowa colleges generally
lead quiet as well as sober life. 1t is
far different in European universities
where drinking and dueling are as pop
ular as football at Harvard or Yale.
Mr.. John s. Nollen, a graduate Of the
State University and one of the bright
est and most promising young men Of
Iowa, who is now enrolled as student
at Zurich, in a recent letter gives an in
teresting account Of drinking bout
among the students of that school. The
letter is written to his father, Mr.. John
Nollen. of Pella. In it he says:
Last Saturday the Zofinga,' the students
society to which some O. the fellows who stay
here belong, had its grand annual drinking
bout. to which representatives from all the
lodges or chapters in Switzerland, former
members, etc., came TO take part. There were
about two hundred present and on Saturday
night they drank twelve hundred quarts Of
beer, beside wind and sundries. OF course q
good share of the two hundred were dead drunk.
That seems to be the fun Of it. On Sunday they
had procession through the Streets then pro.
ceeded by special boat to Horgen, where they
once more loaded up. Next day there was still
more drinking and some Of the fellows had to
be carried OF in cabs. 1t was disgusting spec
tacle."
After giving an account of the great
university drinking bout Mr.. Nollen
says:

A NEW female device for earning a
livelihood is that of going around to the
houses of society people and cleaning
and repairing fine dresses that have
been accidentally soiled or otherwise
injured. The scheme was developed in
Buffalo. There are some women who
