RUNAWAY ENGINES.
The Old Ben Franklin Stopped In
Its Mad Career by Olllng the
Tracks

The Old Ben Franklin Stopped In
Its Mad Career by Olllng the
Tracks.
The old Long Island railroad had a
single track, with numerous switches
and turnings. One dark night when
the conductor was taking three pas
senger-cars through to Greenport,
after travelling six or eight miles lie
noticed the headlight of II locomotive
in his rear. What could it meant?
The locomotive was gaining rapidly
upon him. He ordered the engineer
to put on more steam. Then followed
II wild chase through the night Pur-
suer and pursued tore along at the
highest speed. Showers of sparks fell
from the wheels Everybody on the
cars believed that the engineer of the
pursuing locomotive was either drunk
or asleep. At last a bright idea struck
the fireman. lie remembered that o.
locomotive can make no progress on
greasy rails. The contents of two
huge cans OF kerosene were poured up
on the track. The device proved sue
cessful. Soon the headlight of tho
pursuer grew dim in the distance.
The train was stopped and backed up
to solve the mystery.
A laughable sight was revealed.
There stood the old Ben Franklin"
pulling and snorting and paving like
a wild bull, the driving-wheels buzzing
around on the creased track like all
possessed, but not moving an inch.
Sanding the track they bore down
on the old machine. Not a sign of
engineer or fireman was visible.
There was a full head of steam on,
but the fires were getting low.
Pushing back to the next station
with the runaway engine, the conduc-
tor was there handed dispatch in
forming him that the "Ben Franklin"
had broken loose, and ordering him
to switch it off at Lakeland and wreck
it.
The oiled track, however, had saved
the "Ben Franklin" from destruction.
Locomotive runaways are not I'M
common. Two engines once collided
on track OF the Boston and Maine
Railroad in Tewksbury. The shock
opened the throttle-valve of one of
them. The engineer had already Jump
down, and off went the locomotive
like a shot, headed for Lowell. Reach
ing the end of the track at the Lowell
station, it overturned the bunker as
though it were a wisp of straw, went
blowing through the floor of the sta
ton for a distance of seventy-five
feet, and entered the express office.
Crashing through the partition that
separated this office from the station
quarters, it wrecked one end of the
baggage-room in passing. At last 1t
grated its head against the brick wall
which adioined the public sidewalk,
and had torn out quite section be-
fore the floor gave way. Down plung-
ed the engine into the basement, emit
ting clouds of steam and smoke, but |
now comparatively harmless.-New-
ark Journal.

PERVERTED VISION.
A Ten-Year-Old Girl Who Reads
Printed Matter Upside Down
Only.

A Ten-Year-Oid Girl Who Reads
Printed Matter Upside Down
Only.
A very peculiar case of perverted
vision has been presented to DR.. E. w.
Brlckley, an oculist of this city, writes
a York correspondent of the Philadel-
phia Press. A little girl of ten wears,
the daughter of one OF this city's
most respected citizens, was discov-
cred by her school teacher to be I'M
able to read her reading exercise I'M
less the book was held upside down.
The teacher, Miss Busser, Immediate
ly communicated the fact to her par
ents, and they became very much
worried.
The oculist was called in and an ex-
animation made OF the child's ewes.
They were found to he entirely nor
mai. The only conclusion arrived at
was that the strange freak of vision
was the result of n habit of trying to
read with the book pages in an I'M
natural position, habit contracted
some years ago when the child was
first sent to school. At this time the
child in writing numbers upon a slate
always made them upside down, and
as it was never observed or corrected
she gradually drifted into the habit
of reading the same way.
The only means ofcure possibleis to
teach the child everything over again
as though she never knew anything be-
fore. This will be carefully done. and
a cure OF chs really phenomenal case
is anxiously looked for in the near fu-
ture.

THERE is no kind OF knowledge, II
honestly acquired, which may not BIO
found available in unexpected ways for
the enrichment and the adornment of
life. whether the life be that OF a man
or OF a woman. And, oven though
the knowledge or power which is the
product OF a liberal education NAV
seem to have no bearing at all upon
the special business or definite duties
OF woman, yet II it DO felt by its pos
SCISSOR to make life more full, more
varied and more interesting and bet
ter worth living, no other justification
Is needed for placing the largest op
portunities within her reach.

HIllInR Potatoes.

Experiments made by us, 20 years
ago and more, showed that the com
mon and almost universal practice OF
drawing the earth up in small hills
around potato plants was attended
with considerable loss. The practice
was founded on the erroneous suppo-
sitlon that all the roots and tubers
were confined within narrow space
OF comparatively few inches around
each plant, and that deep bed of
earth in narrow hillock was lust
what was wanted. On riding through
the country most of the potato fields
and gardens are seen still to continue
the practice.
The great mistake thus made NAV
be observed by digging down a few
inches in the spaces between rows. It
VIII be found that while the plants are
still young, and before the tubers have
formed or grown to any size, the hori.
zontal roots have met and crossed
each other between and in the three
loot spaces. BY killing the plants,
the earth must be scraped or plowed
away from these spaces, and the hori-
zontal roots cut off or laid bare. This
treatment will necessarily reduce the
growth OF the tubers, which although
near the center OF the hill, are fed by
the roots.
The experiment is well worth trying.

HOW TO TRAVEL COMFORTABLy
Hints About Handling Clothing and
Toilet Articles in q Sleeper,

Hlnts ABOUT fandling Clothing and
Toilet Articles in Sleeper,
In taking long journey it
is well to make oneself as com.
Portable as possible, especially at
night. When taking your place in
the sleeping-car berth, do not, for
fear of various emergencies, which
seldom arise, attempt to sleep in all
your clothes. Undress sufficiently to
be at perfect ease in any position you
may assume during sleep. This
freedom of lungs and limbs will assure
you rest at least, even if you fail to
sleep. In wintertime always carry
light wooden wrapper to avoid colds
You should have u neat little case
or bag OF linen into which you slip
your purse, iewelry, hairpins, etc, and
put this under your pillow in the
corner nearest the window In the
rack or net which hangs above you
place all small articles of apparel
You will then know. on awaking Just
where to put your hand on any thing
you wish to find.
If you wake and 90 early to the
dressing-room you may make a com
plete and refreshing toilet before the
other folks are up. Have in your
satchel all appliances, such as soap
and toothbrush III celluloid cases,
sponge i'll its bag of oiled silk, brushes,
combs, whisk. etc, etc. Be sure to
provide your own towels.
The dress ran be well brushed and
hung up till needed on convenient
hook. Carry also bottle oflavender
or Florida water and pour some OF
this into the bowl 1t rests and re-
freshes one wonderfully.
After this careful toilet and n good
breakfast, served hot, you can stand
with but slight additional fatigue a
second days Journey.
SO much seems to be provided for
our comfort and enjoyment during the
day while travelling that it seems
necessary to have thought for the
night only, as the nights rest or I'M
rest will most always make or mar
the day before us.-IIousekeeper's
Weekly.

The only advantage the ballot has
over the autocratic monarchy as n
means of government is that 1t vastly
increases the number OF those who
must consent to act against the COM
mon sense OF all before the desire to do
so can be expressed through legisla-
ton and given the compelling force OF
law. A million men are entirely ca
pable OF being ignorant, foolish and
criminal in given case, but 1t is
harder to unite them in the given
case than it is to join an autocrat and
his favorite in n common purpose.
Thus the sole advantage of the ballot
is that it makes common sense moro
secure against the operations of legis-
lation, implying the use of force.

A BROOKLYN MOTHERS DEVICE.
She Has a Scheme for Preventing
Her Child From Getting Lost.

She Has a Scheme for Preventing
Her Child From Getting Lost.
A handsomely dressed woman and
a curly-headed boy of five summers
were among the passengers on a bridge
tram this morning. They attracted
the attention of all the other passen-
gers on account of n new and novel
arrangement, evidently the invention
OF the mother, to prevent Jimmie
from getting lost in the crowd.
Around the boys chest and shoulders
was neat-iitting harness of red
morocco leather, ornamented with
tiny brass bells. Two reins, also of
red leather, were attached to the
harness at the shoulders. The mother
held the reins firmly in her left hand.
while with her right she held a book
IN which she seemed deeply interested.
When the boy wanted to 60 out on
the platform or cross over to the
window, there was no sharp command
OF Come back, Jimmie, don't 20
there"
Jimmie would walk the length of
the reins and then he stopped. The
mother would not even look up from
her book, but her grip on the reins
never relaxed. As long as she held
them firmly there was no chance for
Jimmie to get lost in the crowd or fall
on the platform. The harness was
similar to that worn by pug dogs in
fashionable society, but two reins
We're used for the boy instead of one

more difficult to guide along crowded
thoroughfare than u well-trained and
obedient pug.

LET men and women once be brought
to realize that there are many things
more desirable, more satisfying, more
productive OF higher pleasures and
moro permanent than money, and let
them be brought to feel that avarice
creates appetites beyond the power OF
anything to satisfy, and that more is
actually lost than gained by it, and it
would seem that to some extent at
least this baser passion. would be re-
strained, and human ambitions would
be directed to worthier objects

THERE is some reason for confound-
ing Russia's policy with the expatri-
alton scheme; for there can be no
doubt that its Interior aim is TO make
the conditions of existence so unbear-
able to the great majority of the Jews
as to force them to leave the country.
Russia must. sooner or later. make
bloody and awful expiation of this, as
we'll as her other great crimes against
humanity and civilization. This bar
barrie power, entrenched In the soli-
tudes OF her vast deserts, is accus-
toned to despise and defy the public
opinion of the civilized world. But
the public opinion of the civilized
world cannot be outraged with i'm
punity. 1t embraces all the moral
forces OF modern progress, all the
ideas which lead to the regeneration o!
nations.

When all other forms of wealth
manage to evade taxation, why should
not the farmer add to his land as
much as possible OF what makes it
productive, and Which the assessor
does not see? If he we're to 90 into
gardening business, build hot houses.
and thus add to the visible material
on the farm, he would undoubtedly,
be taxed higher. But he car double
or treble the productive value OF his
land by understanding and heavy man
uring, and not add % per cent to its
taxable assessment. This is vastly
better than putting all his spare money
IN more land, leaving him less able to
manure, cultivate and manage it
