KILLED BY THE ENGINE.
Birds That Fall Victims to tho LOGON

Birds That Fall Victims to tho Locono-
tive.
To railway officials it is wenhnown
fact that the engines of high-speed ex-
presses kill small and large heavy flying
birds, such as cartridges and grouse, in
great quantities, sometimes carrying
their bodies long distances. A few
months ago the writer was shown by
locomotive superintendent of one of the
principal northern lines a dead bird
which, strange to say. though very
rapid flyer, had met its doom through
the agency of the iron horse. This bird
was sparrow hawk, and it is now
stuffed and may be seen in the Carlton
road board school museum, Kentish
town. The driver Of the train relates
that he was travelling between sixty
and seventy miles an hour near Melton,
when just on the point of entering
long tunnel he observed futtering in
front of the engine some object which
he at first mistook for rag but when,
on leaving the tunnel, he went forward
he discovered, to his establishment, that
it was sparrow hawk, which had be-
come entangled between the handrail
and smoke box of the engine, and was
held there firmly by the pressure of the
wind. 1t was not quite dead when
taken out of this curious death trap,
though one eye had been destroyed.
There is no doubt that it met its death
accidentally, as a hawk can fly quicker
than the fastest trains travel-so the
drivers say, who often observe them
flying low down in the hedgerow and
keeping up with the train till some un-
wary small bird, frightened by the
noise, flies out of the fence, when the
hawk pounces on it and devours it.
This instance of hawk being killed by
q train on the aforementioned line is
unique, and will most probably be new
and interesting to our readers.-Strand

Frontier Life.

One of the quaintest and most
thrilling escapes from grizzly was
made by Jack Beam, of Montana.
With three other cowboys, he was out
on the range rounding up some cattle,
when, from some unknown cause,
they became frightened and dashed
away In a perfect panic. In vain the
cowboys tried to check and turn the
cattle from their mad career. For
miles they tore along until they
reached the brink of small preci-
pice, from which they dropped, kill
ing scores and hundreds. This
checked the stampede, and the cow
boys began gathering up the herd.
while thus engaged Jack became
separated from his companions. A
bunch" OF cattle wandered into a
deep ravine, and finding that they re.
fused to move at the sound OF his
voice, Jack left his broncho and
rushed at the cattle, whip in hand.
Just as he got them started, he heard
fierce growl, and, on looking back,
saw huge grizzly emerge from the
bushes and start toward him. He
was well aware OF the terrible nature
of the animal, and as the bear was
fast closing the distance between
them, he. fed as fast as his legs could
carry him. Presently he reached :
small knoll, and just below was {

Unrentable Buildings.

Every real estate agent in New York
has had more or less experience with what
are known as unrentab!e buildings.
They are apparently just us desirable as
other buildings, but are occupied only for
short periods. The owners are usually
moro than liberal to tenants, but the
latter do not remain. Such buildings soon
have unenviable regulations and not un-
frequently are associated with i'll luck.
Sometimes they are believed to be
haunted. A building ut the upper end
of Second avenue is an example. 1t
apparently has many advantages over
adjoining buildings. 1t is on the corner
of very wide cross street, and is cheer
full and bright within. 1t is soiidly built
of brick, is always kept well painted and
in good condition. For six months it has
been vacant, and prior to that tenants
moved out almost as fast as they moved
in. The rent is low, but the other build
ings that look old and battered beside it
are occupied all the time. = New York

the les on repeated, always rewarding
obedience in some way.
The same general principles apply
when dogs are taken a cid to be worked
on some sort OF game. At first the puppy
may run towards almost every foim OF
life he sees. This Is natural, and he
would not be worth his keeping IL he did
not show some such tendency TO investl-
gate the world about him.
But he must b restrained gradually.
He must associate certain acts with the
approval and others with the disapproval

A theory carried to an extreme
throws its light on queer sides of
human nature. Many people believe
that it is not only foolish but wrong
to cat meat, and their conclusions,
pushed to their furthest bounds, have
an odd sound in the ears of carniyor-
Gus mankind. One enthusiastic gen
tleman announces his intention OF
eating merely the raw fruits and
grains of the earth, believing that
cooked food was not intended for
man or beast. He acknowledges that
a diet of nuts and fruit has hitherto
made him rather i'll, but cheerfully
hopes to adopt it, after a longer trial.
Another gentleman, who Is not
only vegetarian but a conscientious
cater of those fruits and grains which
meet his approval, would not discard
the rind of fruit merely because it
may be tough. Having grown there,
he says, it must be intended for some
good purpose, and he concludes that
this purpose is connected with the
palate of man.
Il believe there must be something
medicinal or nutritious In the peel of
an orange" he writes friend, "and
so 1 always eat it with the rest of the
fruit. must confess, however, that
it never seems to agree with me-"
Far removed from these ultra en-
thusiasts, however, are many persona
who have adopted the mild form of
vegetarianism which consists in eat
ing vegetables when they are to be
conveniently found. In London,
especially, will such wanderers from
the beaten track find ample sus-
tenance in vegetarian restaurants,
one of which, "The Apple Tree, is SO
entirely satisfactory as to merit many
a visit.
Its bill of fare is long and elaborate.
II one desires French names, they
are here to be found. Translated,
the tempting titles inevitably suggest
the presence Of meat, and inspire the
inexperienced eater with an excited
longing to know how it is all done,
You order "Saronny Steak, with a
triumphant feeling that here, at last,
the cook has been caught in his own
ambitious tolls, and beguiled into
serving up flesh. A sort of Drowned
cake is produced, and when one in
vestigates, it offers hint of many
grains and vegetables, so cunningly
mingled and so deliciously favored
that neither eye nor tongue can dis
tinguish form or distinct taste.
A vegetable ragout sounds mar
vellously insipid, does 1t not? Yet
when one has before him a steaming
plate of tender young carrots, turnips
and other spring benefactions,
favored with wondrous herbs, he
must be an exacting man, indeed, IL
he Is not content
From "The Apple Tree" also are to
be gathered delicious puddings OF figs
and dates, plates of fruit smothered
In cream, and many-colored salads,
which delight the eye and tickle the
palate. Surely, in land where such
provision is made for the fascinating
tooth, IL is bv no means so bad thing
to be vegetarian. v.r
