Animals Eyes Flag Trains.

Eyes, we have good deal of expert
ence with wild animals remarked an
engineer, "but not SO thrilling as that of
the engineers ON western roads when the
buffalo was common on the plains. But
there Is enough still left of wild animal
life to make it interesting. The eyes of
the wolf, coyote, wildcat, jack rabbit,
polecat and other animals look Ikea red
light when facing the headlight. Did
not these animals quickly undeceive us
by turning their heads, an engineer
might think his train was being tagged
and stop his engine. The wolf, wildcat
and coyote are quick and jump from the
track, but the jack rabbit is less fortu-
nate. Tho headlight has a strange fas-
cination for this animal and often it is
killed. denver News.

Taking Advantage of the Year.

Over the line in Paulding, Ga, there
lived widow whose name, we believe,
was Brown But it Ia not Brown now.
She is there no moro, nor is she widow
any more forever. She was fat and fair,
but not forty. Abast three weeks ago
there came along middle aged widower
of fine mien and prepossessing appear
ance. Ostensibly he stopped for drink
of water at the we'll. The widow, in
the goodness OF heart, kindly gave him
the water Her looks pleased him, and
at once to business he went. Neither
one ever saw the other before. He ask
ed her if she was married. She told him
no, that she was lone widow.
Whereupon he informed her that he
was widower hunting for a wife.
Eyes, sirl walk in" Here we drop the
curtain. In her own language, how
ever, we give the result: at is sufficient
to say this is leap year, you know, and
at o'clock that night we twain were
made one.' We fixed it all right there
and then"
Tomorrow she leaves for his home.
Where it is or what sort it is or
whether he has one, she knoweth not.
She says marriage is lottery any
how" She was on our streets yester-
day as gay as lark. Now, who can
beat q widow "for business" when she is
in dead earnest?-Atlanta Constitution.

Out in Iowa some years ago a number
of mon were engaged in the harvest
field. When a man is working for
wages on farm there is nothing more
delightful to him than little fall of
rain. 1t gives him chance to stop
work and seek shelter. These harvest
ers broke for the barn. When the great
body of them arrived there they found
that one of their number had got there
ahead of them. He had fallen PROSTATE
upon the barn floor, entirely out OF
breath. The foreman asked him why he
had run himself to death.

EASIER THAN WORKING
A Clever Scamp I'm College Raises None

A Clever scamp In College Raises Money
I'm an Ingenious Way.
Let me tell you a very strange true
Story Three years ago a young man in
the middle of his sophomore year found
himself in debt to his landlady, to his
tailor, to tho college and in fact to every
one Of whom he could borrow or buy.
He had no parents on whom he could
fall, and his future wasn't very roseate,
to say the least.
But he was genius. Hehad come to
college to graduate and didn't intend TO
drop out just because he lacked money.
There was plenty Of unemployed capital
in the country, he was sure, and he was
equally sure he could get hold of some
Of it. SO this is what he did:
In some way he learned the names of
ten women in one Of the small western
towns and wrote them the following
letter:
MY DEAR MRs Il am student in
- college and am absolutely without O
cent. Unless receive aid shall be compelled
10 abandon the ambition OF my nfe-to enter the
Christian ministry. am an orphan and am
solely dependent on myself.
Will you kindly send mo ten cents and mail
a copy of this letter TO ten friends, numbering
each copy n Please request them to do the
same, numbering their copies 8, and SO on,
stopping at number 10.
Ten cents is very little, but ten dimes make a
dollar, and hundred dollars would be truly q
godsend to me. Very truly yours,
GEORGE w. MARTIN.
He figured that about three or four in
the first ten would respond, and that
the same ratio would be kept up. Some
would BIO ignored, some would miscarry
and in some cases several copies would
be sent to the same person. It is easy
to count that if every letter and copy
brought in ten cents he would receive
millions. II four in the first ten re-
sponded he would still be millionaire.
The plot succeeded. He didn't re-
ceive million of course, but he did get
a very large sum of money. Not one
person in hundred would stop and fig
ure up the actual amount which the
thing would bring to the letter writer.
In some cases ministers read tho letter
in the pulpit and recommended the
scheme to their congregation. The let
tiers which he received were studies.
Some contained stamps, some dimes
wrapped in paper, some motherly old
souls wrote long letters with volumes OF
good advice, and some more philan-
thropic people sent fifty cents, dollar,
and few even five.-E. J. Barnes in
New York Press.

nm exceedingly pretty and graceful
young woman and q little girl of per-
haps five years Of age, boarded Ire
mont street electric yesterday after
noon, and the car being nearly empty
walked up to the forward end and took
q seat where the young miss could
watch the motorman twist and untwist
the brake and turn on and off the cleo
trio current.
She watched him with the deepest in
terest for long time, and when the car
started without the aid OF holses, or any
visible signs of power, she became deep
ly perplexed.

with q far away look in her eyes.
"Did You pass that bad quarter on the

individual had just gone by collecting
the fares. Every person in the car
heard her and tried hard not to smile.
"Papa said if the conductor wouldn't
take it you could pass it in the contribu.
ton box next Sunday. Could you dc
that, mafnmaT
Mamma signaled the conductor just
then. As they were getting off dearie
was telling mamma that those three red
haired women were awfully homely,
and when the car started off again the
red haired women blushed even reddei

Female testers.

Nothing better illustrates the dullness
Of society In tho Middle Ages than the
custom used by all high placed and
wealthy persons of keeping a profess
sional jester, nor was it confined to
Christendom, for we read that Cortez
found an individual of this profession
at the court of Montezuma. Our mod
ern clowns, though very different from
the licensed testers of old, owe to them,
of course, their origin; but, so far as l
know, the female jester, who was in
vogue before the male, has no present
representative.
We are told by Erasmus that in all
the great inns on the Continent there
was in his time female official Of
this description, who enlivened the COM
pany as she waited at table by with
cisms and repartee. 1t should DO added,
however, that she was generally young
and pretty. So late MS 1858, we read in
Mrs. Hornby's Travels that she found
a female Jester at Constantinople, who
was exceedingly amusing London IL

An Electrical Finger.

An electrical finger for surgical uses
has recently been invented. A bulb, at
tached to long probe, is attached 10 a
finger stall. The bulb is double and the
outer skin ia flexible. Tho two layers
Rre connected with opposite poles of the
battery, and wires connect the inner
layer with the finger tip. Pressure at
any point closes the circuit and tho cleo
trical current is transmitted to a CORE
spending point on the finger. The sur
geon has thus q means of feeling and
measuring things which he can neither
see nor reach by ordinary means.-Phil-
adelphia Ledger.

A strange story of superstition is re-
ported from Homoliez, in Hungary. sev,
eral bodies Of inen had been found there
with their heads cut off. An investiga-
ton was made by the police. and it
turned out that these mutilations had in
every instance been committed by young
men who were betrothed to the widows
OF the decapitated persons. The hus.
bands had died a natural death, and
their widows believed that in case they
married second time their first hus.
bands would reappear and destroy their
welded happiness. Hence they had per.
suaded their new bridegrooms to decap-
itate their deceased partners.-Pall Mall
