An Engineer Fooled by a Star.

An engine driver, recOunting his eX-
periences, said that he had thus far es-
capped smashups, but that he thought he
was in great danger one night. Said he:
: at was clear autumn evening, and l
was running a passenger train. We
were little behind time, and 1 was 60
ing along at good pace. There was a
big wood to go through, and the line, on
clearing it, took sharp turn to the
westward. Just as we made that turn
my heart came right up between my
teeth, for there, coming straight down
the line, was another engine with her
headlight flaming in my eyes.
81 blew down brakes and had my
engine reversed before I'd drawn half a
breath and sent the train back as hard
as 1 could to a siding about a mile be-
hind us and waited for the other train
that supposed to be close by, but she
didn't come. made the signal man
wire up the line to see if there was any
special or runaway engine in the way,
but the answer was that the line was
clear.

A Modern Miracle.

There lived in the vicinity of Bergerac
a parish priest who was greatly beloved.
His parishioners decided upon getting
up Il subscription to present him with a
cask of wine. One of the inhabitants
supplied the cask, and each of the rest
came and poured in two litres of the
produce of his vineyard. One day last
week our cure invited some of the sub
scribers to dinner, in order to taste the
beverage which formed compound of
all the wines grown in the district. The
servant went to turn the tap, and came
back with decanter full of water in
her hand.
Whatever is that?" was the general
cry.
''This is the wine out of the barrel"
His reverence could not make it out;
1t was altogether puzzling! The guests
were splitting with laughter. Each one
had thought to himself that the presence
of two itres of water would not be de-
tected in butt Of wine, but, as it hap
pened, they had all acted on the same
idea.-Petit Liegeois.

Lamar looked askance at her in alarm

her placid expression to suggest mania

''They do get in the way" admitted
the young lady, ''but most of them are

There was another short silence, dur

her restored treasure. Presently she
said, musingly: 81 see the threads are
broken. She has broken them once be-

Lamar only stared and swallowed.
She held his glance with horrible, eerie
fascination.
. "You know she loves to run to me-"
she prattled on. ''She ran away from
me this morning, and when she came
back it was gone. She must have crept
under the table and not come out until
she had got it off,"
"Who is she?" asked Lamar in trou-

An Unconventional Diner.

That exception which proves the rule
beholds some queer things done in the
name of good breeding. The fact that
established custom frowns upon guest
at dinner party being helped a second
time to any single course does not deter
one well known bon vivant from indulg-
ing his liking for certain dishes when
ever SO minded. One of which he is es-
pecially fond is terrapin, and his neigh

ingenious and unexampled pieces of

up of a series of thin. vertical lamina of

The Sense of Touch.

"There is nothing" said philosopher,
sabout which there is more general
misapprehension among all classes of
people than in regard to the relative
sensitiveness of the mentality of man
and womankind. You would say, prob
ably without any hesitation, that the
sense of touch of the gentler sex was
much more acute than that of their
brothers; but that is very great error.
''Take, for example, the employees OF
this government who count out the gold
coin in the treasury, and by an almost
magic faculty, as it were, are enabled
by a supersensitive refinement of the
sense of touch to Immediately separate
the lightweight coin from that which
abrasion has not yet affected. They are
all men, and the faculty which they at
tain in their work is really something
simply amazing. Do you ever hear of
woman being employed in this work:
Not one; and it is undoubtedly because
they do not have the sense of touch to the
same degree of refinement as men do.
''There is another line of work afforded
by the big safe manufacturers of the
land-the opening of safes of which the
combinations have been lost. Men are
employed by the manufacturers to do
this, and big salaries are paid to those
who have the sense of touch developed
to such degree that they can feel the
slight jar that tells when to turn the
lock back in itself to the next number in
the combination. There are few men
who can do this, and so it happens that
a time lock alone is absolutely safe; but
no woman, SO far as l know, has ever
developed the faculty. Now, I'm an ad-
mirer of women, my boy, and l don't
say what I do in criticism, but simply as
astatemento of strange phenomenon

lowed-both OF which departures
from the old system will doubtless be
approved by its patrons. There Will
