Oiling n High waym an.

There used to be-and may be yet
on the Las Cruces division of the Santa
Fe railway an engineer known as big
Jack Long" One night Jack was alone
at his engine, oiling up the machine,
while the rest of his crew, like the pas
sengers, were at supper in the dingy
eating house. The train was long one,
and the engine was well away from the
little cluster of buildings. Suddenly
"Throw up your hands!' was growled
at him, and Jack found himself looking
into gun in the hands of hard look
ing citizen.
The fellow demanded money, and
Jack began to argue, protesting that he
had but dollar in his pockets, and that
to take that were a cruelty, since it was
meant to pay for his supper. Yes, the
marauder was determined to have the
sack, even if it had but single dollar.
During the discussion Jack slipped his
hand from bulb to nozzle of the long
machinist's oiler and edged around the
head of the locomotive, finally backing
across the track, closely followed by the
temporizing holder up.
When the man was so well into the
glare of the headlight as to guide Jacks
address, this worthy promptly laid over
his head with the heavy oiler for a
bludgeon, and when the victims yells
had drawn forth the supping contin-
gent, Jack had beaten his assailant al
most senseless and stood, weapon in
hand, looking down at him and saying
grimly, "Well! guess I've got you Sc
well oiled up that you won't run hot
again for one while!'-San Francisco
Argonaut.

Needed the Hardest.

A young dentist who opened hu office on Jefferson avenue finds good many discouragements. His first patient was q thin young man who wore no waist coat, and triced up his person with q pink and yellow belt,
 There was q profitable hour or two in the chair, during which the young dei' tist told his funniest stories as he filed and chiseled and buzzel At length, in stead of filling up the biggest cavities with gold and charging ten dollars apiece, the conscientious beginner said
 Shall put in soft filling, siry'
 ''l board. replied the exhausted oe- cupant of the chair briefly.
 Beg pardon, said tho dentist douht- fully. Il asked you about a soft filing
 Thunder and lightning, shouted the patient, sitting up in the chair and pull ing his mouth into shape; Il tell you ] live in boarding house. and if you've got any ground glass, analgam or rolled steel caps use 'em. Soft filling, you crazy coot; do look like suicide" Detroit Free Press.

Mhitn rnneE Not Yastea.

"There is no such thing as waste paper said the junk dealer to re- porter. Hardly scrap of white paper Is wasted. Every bit of 1t that is thrown away is carefully gathered up and finds its way eventually to the mill again to be made over. The notebook in your hand may furnish material for the pages on which you will write letter six months hence, and perhaps year later you will unknowingly find 1t incorpo- rated in summer novel with yellow covers. Thus the stock of paper that supplies the world is used over and over again indefinitely through the medium of the scavengerel the dealers in junk and the fact6ries, which are continually engaged in transforming the discarded material into fresh and clean sheets.
 Brown paper. however, is different. Because it is composed of nothing more valuable than straw it is mostly thrown away and never used again. would not pay you twenty-five cents for ton of it. A few years ago old newspapers were worth four cents pound, being made of rags. Now they are manu- factured out of wood pulp and straw and their market value is only quartet of cent 8 pound. Office paper, such as old bills and such scraps, are worth the same price as Newspapers, while what we call "office sweepiDgs,r com posed largely of envelopes. are quoted at fifteen cents a hundredweight."

Ind Literarr ferment ln rranee.

Philarete Chasles relates in his me moirs how one afternoon, as he was at work in his newspaper office, young man with military air, looking as bold as if he were going to the wars, knocked imperiously at the door, walked in, sat down and said, without further pre- amble:
 Monsieur, am Hugo"
 Then, after handing to Chasles the famous yellow covered book with the password "Hierro" on the title page, he asked him if he was on his side or not, and continued:
 Monsieur, not only are we going to change poetry, which needs a funda- mental revolution, but grammar also. What do you think about our prosody! French prosody must be completely over hauled"
 Soit is in France, where neither centu, fies nor years count, but only minutes and seconds, the shock of contraries and the violence of reaction. The French must always be fighting about some thing-even for Boileau against Ron sard, and for Nonotte against Voltaire. Printers ink must smell of powder, otherwise life seems insipid and thought without any savor. Victor Hugos visit to Chasles is typical. Theodore Child in Harper's.

Eccentric wills.

Eccentricity, and nothing else, distin. guishes the will proved in 1724 of Henry Trigg, of Stonage, of the county of Hertford, grocer, who directed that his body should be committed to the west end of his hovel, to be decently laid there upon floor erected by his execu- tors; and only sixty years ago, it is said, the bones of MT. Trigg still remained unburied in the rafters at the west end of his hoyel aforesaid. A provision, quite as bizarre, was medeir the viii Of the phifosophic Jeremy Bentham, who enjoined his executors to embalm his corpse and dress it in the clothes which he was accustomed to wear in his life time. in order that he might form the text of a lecture to be delivered annu- ally at literary institute held at a school of anatomy in Windmill street, Haymarket.
 On the occasion of one of the lectures on Jeremy BenthaIn's mummy the ven erable philosophers head fell off and came to irremediable grief, whereupon an artificial head was modelled in wax by Miss Margaret Gillies, the distin- guished miniature painter, but the mummy with the waxen head has long since faded out of the public ken.-Lon- don Telegraph.

Tho First Electrical Mm Tramroad.

The Thomson-Houston company has completed and put into operation the first electric mill tramroad in Chicago, at the works of the Northwestern Terra Gotta company. The line is HOO feet long, including the loop. The overhead conductor consists of two No. 9 B. & S. gauge copper wires. As the power is supplied from an incandescent lighting plant it was deemed advisable not to use one wire and rail for return current, so a double trolley system was installed. The line has six curves of less than forty feet radius.
 A loaded train can start from the works and unload in the storage yard and continue to the clay sheds for re- turn load for the works. The track is three feet gauge has 3O-pound T rail on pine ties, spaced two feet between centers. The greatest grade is 4 per cent. The motor car is equipped with two 3-horsepower railroad motors, hung on the axles. The motor has hauled ten tons on 8 level track. New York Tele- gram.

Many Americans abroad are exceed ingly annoyed at their lack of skill in the use of the European languages After a vain attempt tomake Parisian waiter understand French they swear at him in English. But I have always re- membered when travelling abroad the art of the physician who put all the re- mains of old prescriptions into one bot tle-the oil and the calomel and the rhubarb and the asafetida-and when he found patient with complication of diseases" he would shake up his old bottle and give him dose, And so l have compounded language for Flu ropean travel. generally take a little French and little German and a little English, with few snatches of Chinese and Choctaw, and when find a stub born case of waiter or landlord that will not understand l simply shake up all the dialects and give him dose It is sure to strike somewhere.

Adding Insult to Injury.

"Talk about adding insult to injury" said Luvrum, as with the aid of n heavy cane he hobbled to his favorite seat in the Founders club the other afternoon, something happened to me last night that capped the climax in that direction 30 far as my experience goes. dined some friends of mine fi'efn out of town last evening They were old college chums, you know, and as we had not met for years we fingered long over tho table, and the loving cup was passed steadily around until my friends had to leave for midnight train. It was a very hos night. was very much be- fuddled and, as is my custom on such rare occasions, turned my feet Turkish bathward. went down into the hot room. A strong desire came upon me to jump into the big cold plunge there without waiting for the usual scruhbing by the attendant.
 ''It has been my habit to forego the use of the stairs leading down into the plunge, and to simply get up on the marble milling and fall off backward into the cooling waters. 50 up on the marble railing stepped and threw my self off There was not solitary drop of water in that plunge, The attendants had emptied it for the purpose of clean ing it. Down 1 went full six feet, and landed squarely on my back on the mar ble bottom. No, did not break my back and fracture my skull, though it is a wonder that did not.
 "So much for the injury, Now let me tell you about the insult. As lay there on my back partially stunned an attend ant came, and shaking no roughly by the shoulder said, Say, if you do that again you will be put outr If l did it again l would be put out! Wonder if he thought did it for funy"-New York Times.

yido colump, and tho Evcsight

Eye experts insist that people who wish to preserve their eyesight will do well to confine their reading as far as possible to round, fat faced type, and to avoid that which is tall and thin. It was the shape of the type of the tiny edition of Dante produced at the French exposition almost IS much as it's minute ness which blinded some of the persons engaged in correcting the sheets,
 Another important point is to avoid too wide a column or the eye is strained. The only way to neutralize the tendency to such strain is to turn the head from side to side, after the manner of short sighted people. The width of column Of reading matter ought not to exceed at the outside two inches, because that is about the natural range of the eye when the head is kept motionless. .- Pittshurg Dispatch.

Hard Work.

How many men like hard work? Many of us are ready enough to tax our minds or our muscles to the utmost for a cer. tain object, but it is the object we love, not the labor. If we could obtain the end we covet without exertion, which of us would toll and sweat as matter of choice? Horace Greeley, who was one of the hardest workers of his day and generation, used to say that nine-tenths of those who profess to be enamored of work are mere hypocrites.
 Adam himself was an indolent fellow Had it been otherwise the cultivation of the soil would not have been imposed upon him as penalty for his disobedi- ence. He was quite taken back when told that he must live by the sweat of his face. He would have preferred the life of a gentleman of leisure, and most of his descendants take after him in that particular. Nevertheless we toll with an energy and perseverance that do honor to our--shall we say to our greed?
 But mark our cunning. All the time we are inventing labor saving machin- cry, manufacturing dumb slaves to do our bidding, while we look on and ad mire their energy.-Pomona Progress.

Willie Collins made speciality of his medical knowledge, and it was upon this account that he was induced to un- dertale an antivivisection novel, which he published under the name of ''Heart and Science" The work was equally unsatisfactory both to the persons who inspired it and to the general public. Wilkie Collins effort in this direction was a complete failure, and his medical men and his wonderful drugs could never have existed outside of his own imagination.

warren,s Iden of Dying.

Warren, aged four years, had formed his ideas of angels and their forms from the study of certain steel engravings, and told his mother if she scolded him again he, would "die and go right 10 heaven." Being told that that was easier said than done, and asked how he would get there, he answered without hesitation; "Oh, would pile up all the chairs and tables and boxes and ladders as far as they would go, and then 'spect an angel would corae down and det me.
