Among the passengers was John
E. Norvell, of the Charleston
National Bank, who was on
his way to Gallipolis to spend
the day with his wife. He had
carried bucket along with him,
and finding that postal clerk Hayes,
whom he knew was in the mail car,
went in there to talk with him a
few minutes and get string with
which to tie his card on the bucket.
This was all that saved him, he
being the only passenger in all that
train load who escaped injury. He
had been in the mail car but few
minutes when 1t began to rock and
shake. Mr.. Norvell says he invol-
UNFAIRLY grabbed the post put in
the mail car for the purpose, while
Mr.. Hayes stiffened himself up and
seized another one. The car jump
ed the track; they could feel it
jolting over the ties. Suddenly it
regained the rails when with sud
den jerk and jar the coaches broke
loose and left the track The postal
car though it kept the rails was so
jolted and jerked that the windows
and doors were Jared out. The
crashing of the coaches on the
earth beneath mingled with the
shrieks of the unfortunate victims
in terrible confusion.
The trestle where the accident oc-
CURED is probably 30 feet high in
the center and about 300 feet long.
About in the center of the trestle
fire had in some manner broken
out and had burned some of the
ties. These gave way under the
heavy weight of the train. The
engine and baggage car passed over
safely, but the ties gave way under

RUSSIA AND INDIA.


Homely Old Anecdote.
Nothing in the catalogue of sensa-
tions will so stir up the 81 itish nation
as an intimation or assertion that
Russia is moving on India, says the Chi
cago Inter Ocean. The accusation has
been made a thousand times, and it al
ways stirs the English people to high
state of Indignation and irritation.
The humorous side of the question is
presented when Russia answers such
accusations Her reply is like that of
the old darby, who, when he was ac-
eused of stealing chickens, Indignantly
denied the charge, but added, aside: eff
he had said ducks he would have had
me-" Russia's answer to England's
charge of a purpose to invade India is
always a square denial with an aside
co the effect that if she had said some
other country on the border Of India
Ghe plea would have beeP.guilty-
1t is necessary to keep the people Of
GreatBritain in state of excitability
as to any restrictions of British rights
ia central Asia. Their attitude La
been for half a century one Of sus-
picion; and it must be admitted that the
operations of Russia have justified this
suspicion, if they have not justified
alarm as to her intentions and pur-
poses. It is probable that Russia does
not contemplate any invasion Of India
now any more than she did twenty
years ago, but it suits her policy to
threaten the British frontier. 1t is a
part of her policy, also, to convince the
tribes and people of central Asia that
she is the dominant power. This is all
the present scare amounts to.

1t is of wood beautifully carved, and

The name Of milado is now an entire:
ly obsolete imperial title, the Japauese
using the title OF l1otei in japanese,
and emperor when speaking to foreign
ers or in foreign tongue. European
countries frequently, however, still
make use of the title nil1ado, which is
breach Of etiquette in Japanese esti-
nation. Russia, for instance, still
speaks Of the emperor Of China as
bakudahan, and until few years ago
persisted in speaking Of the emperor Of
Japan Gs the millada, but during Vis-
count EnoIaoto's residency ia Russia as
japanese minister he informed the Rus
sian government Of its error and
pointed out the historical reasons for
this title being no longer used, since
which time the Russian government
has conformed to the use of the Euro

THE CRAZY BALL.


1t VIII Drive Kitten Mad and Charm
a Baby.
Street peddlers have a new catch
penny device on their trucks that is
quite an amusing thing for old as well
as young folks, says the New York
Herald. They call it the crazy ball, y
and it is well named. For ten cents
you can buy one of these things, and
see the laws of gravity dofed. 1t
looks like an ordinary wooden ball,
about the size of a tennis ball, but you
can't roll it in straight line. to save
you. OF course. the secret of the things
queer actions lies in the fact that it is
loaded on one side. This makes every
movement of the ball eccentric. 1t

it will refuse to roll down hill If you

and roll back, and maybe it viii go off

WOMEN WHO SMOKE.
They Number in Their Ranks Many o.
Europe's Blue Biooded Processes.

They Number in Their Ranks Many o.
Europe's Blue Biooded Princesses.
Those who rave with unceasing bit
terness against women who smoke anc
who declare the habit to be ill-bred and
fast, have no idea of the women they
are condemning, says a Philadelphia
Telegraph's London letter People with
such old-fashioned prejudiees have
usually old-fashioned feelings on the
subject of the reverence due to crowned
heads, and would pause before uttering
their scathing condemnations were they
aware that the ''pernicious and disgust
ing habit was one in which the major
! ity of queens in Europe indulge. The
expresses of Russia and Austria, the
queen of Italy and the queen regent
of Spain, as we'll as their majesties of
| Portugal, Roumania and Servia and the
countess of Paris, are all ardent lovers
of tobacco, of which they are also
thoroughly good judges. Perhaps the
most inveterate smoker among the
royal ladies is the empress of Austria,
who consumes from thirty to forty Gig
arettes day. She keeps her tobacco
in an exquisitely chased silver box,
which, together with gold ash-tray,
is always to be seen on her writing
table. Her imperial majesty of Russia
and Queen Marguerite of Italy only
smoke in the privacy of their own bou-
doris. That of the empress of Russia is
d most fascinating apartment, which
makes a really ideal smol1ing-room.
1t is fitted up in the style of one of
the loveliest rooms at the Alhambra,
palm trees giving it quite a tropical APP
pearance, while tempting lounges invite
that repose which is such delightful
adjunct to the fragrant weed. The
countess of Paris will look at no tobac-
co which has not grown in the sunny
climate of Havana, and while the queen
regent of Spain gives her vote in favor
of Egyptian cigarettes, and the queen
of Rouman;a declares in favor of Tur-
key, Queen Natalie, of Servia, has a
store of tobacco from each country, of
which she is careful to getonly the very
best. l believe the cigarette cases car
ried by some of these ladies are verita-
bic dreams of beauty, being usually OF
gold inlaid with precious stones. Turn
ing to our own country, it would take
too long to mention the names of the
well-l1nown feminine votaries of the
weed, and it is not even necessary to
repeat that they are some of the high |
est in the land. A very large proper
ton of our 'blue" women smoke and |
many of them even smoke cigars as
strong as those affected by the sterner

I'M A FIELD OF FLAME,
A Mustang Saves the Life of a Settler
During Forest Fire.

"A Mustang saves Jne lio OF 6eLLlGr
During Forest Fire.
An exciting race for life is reported
from the mountains back of Santa
Monica, says a Los Angeles correspond
emit, where brush, fire got under way
and had been burning 6ercely for q
couple of days. A young settler named.
Wilson, who had built himself cabin
in the mountains was asleep when the,
flames reached his house, and was not
awakened until the fire almost roasted
him.
When he reached the door he thought.
his last day had come, for the flames
and dense smoke shotup on all sides for
several hundred feet, and he coul,i see,
no outlet.
He had tough little mustang. He
placed wet blanket over the animals
head and body, and the bronco dashed
into the flames, and for a quarter of a.
mile Wilson, more dead than alive, ex--
pected his horse to drop dead every
step. But the mustang kept his pace,
and dashed into the clear space ahead
of the cracking flames. Wilson thought
he was safe, and attempted to slow the
mustang up, but the horse understood
the situation better than his master,
and, in spite of Wilson's efforts, dashed
on.
It was well that he did, for in few
minutes the fire bounded across the
cleared spot and was close on the heels
of the horse. Wilson was terribly
burned about the head and face. The
mustang was also badly burned,
