He Qualified Promptly.

When a man is in deadly earnest
about securing employment he will not
let such O small obstacle as the lack Of
u wife stand in the way; at least such
is the fact in regard to a certain section
foreman on the Columbia and Puget
Sound road. He applied for the posi-
tion to Assistant Superintendent Nc
Cabe, and his answers to that gentle
mans queries were all satisfactory until
the question came:
care you married? We want mar
ried man 10 take the position, so that
his wife can take care of the section
house."
The man acknowledged that he still
wandered in the wilderness of celibacy,
and Mr.. McCabe said in peculiar way.
"Well, You can have the job if you
get married in time. Hurry mp and I'll
give you passes for the 5:30 train"
II was then half past 4, and it seemed
pretty short notice, but some men can
get through great deal of business in
an hour. Before the time had arrived
for the train to leave the applicant re-
turned accompanied by blushing bride
and said;
"well, I've got wife. Win you give
me those passesY'
Filled with admiration ut the mans
readiness of resource, Mr.. McCabe gave
him the passes and the happy couple left
on their honeymoon.-Sea Post-Intel-

No li4.la sensation has been created at

who, in the presence Of the assembled
members, has made the most elaborate
calculations in an incredibly short space
of time. The name of this phenomenon
is Inaudi. He is Of Piedmontese origin
but was naturalized a Frenchman some
years ago.
Inaudi, who is now twenty-four, is a
small man with head wonderfully de
veloped, and it is noteworthy fact that
he was taken by Broca to the Anthropo-
logical society in 1880. being regarded
by the eminent savant as a remarkable
boy. He succeeded over and over again
in getting through two very complicated
calculations at the same time in about
half a minute. and the extraordinary
rapidity with which he solved various
problems evoked repeated applause

The Models smile Was Misunderstood
by the sober Girl student.
An indianapolis artist who has won
prestige in eastern art circles tells the
following incident which occurred in a
New York studio Of much celebrity: A
large class of women and girls were
sxetching from model, a young
Italian. who was posed with his
head thrown back, his arms fantastically
wreathed over his head and his legs ex-
tended in some sort Of wild Bacchanal
capcr.
The indianapolis woman was sketch
ing the models shoulder when she OBJ
served that he was smiling at her in a
very familiar manner. Somewhat dis
concerted to discover that she had ap-
parently made a conquest of this guile
less child Of Italia, she began to sketch
his knee, as more remote from the artil-
lory Of his sentimental glances. In a
remote corner Of the room giggling
arose, and she perceived that the smiles
of the flirtatious model were taking ef-
feet uDon some lively girls among the
students. They subsidized shortly, but
the young Ital' m still continued firing
off smiling glances in every direction.
At about the center Of the class was a
German girl, serious to the core, alb
sorbed in her work, and fierce in her
manner as a female Bismarck. Every
stroke she planted on her easel vas de-
cisive and almost combative. Suddenly
she came under the battery of tile Ital.
ian's smiles, and without an instant's
hesitation her voice rang out like q
clarion:
"You schtop that schmiling; We don't
want you to schmile."
The figure of the model relaxed in.
simultaneously and he stood straight az
an arrow before the class the imporsona-
ton of offended and wrathful dignity.
After an appalling silence he remarked
in the severest tones;
Ladies', am here before you zimply
as ze model of re Dancing Fawn;' re
smile goes wiz 20 pose. ."-Indianapolif

GrapnIlng with a Burglar.

The villa of the veteran sculptor
Thomas Il. Ball, in Florence, was en-
tered Jan. 10, and though the burglar
was discovered and severely woahded in
the struggle that followed, he succeeded
in escaping with Mr.. Balls gold watch
and 5000 francs in bank notes. 1t ap-
pears that Mr. Cowper, Mr.. Balls son
in-law, in returning to the villa at late
hour, found that the contents Of large
cabinet standing in the lower hall had
been scattered over the floor. Hasten
ing to Mr.. Balls bedroom, he was there
confronted by the intruder, who blew
out the candle he was carrying and at
once grappled with Mr.. Cowper. In the
struggle, though Mr. Cowper's left arm
and hand were badly lacerated when he
was forced through glass door, yet he
succeeded in pitching the fellow head
long to the floor below, but was too
week from loss of blood to follow him,
and the robber got away before assist
ance came.
Mr.. Cowper was unarlned except with
a small pocketknife, which he evidently
used TO some purpose, as attested by the
stained walls and staircase. 1t is not
believed Mr. Cowper's wounds will
prove serious
Mr.. Ball received no injury except to
his nerves, but the opportune arrival Of
his son-in-law doubtless prevented a
more serious crime. Evidently the bur-
glar was fully acquainted with the ar.
yopuarapt pf tba bn1aa and tho ba hifS
of its inmates, and probably the police
have been able by this time to arrest the
suspected party. Boston Transcript.

An InfallibIo Remedy.

Alexander II. II. Stuart, who lately
died at Staunton, Va, when secretary

how he got rid of an Office seeker soon
after assuming the office: 81 was very
much annoyed by persistent applicant
for the post Of messenger. The man
came in regularly every day for several
weeks until he became an unboarable
bore. Finally one day after the man
had gone out, asked the messenger

The engine Great Britain, which had
the honor of conveying her majesty
from Carlisle TO Wolverhampton, en-
route from Scotland to Windsor, last
November, is perhaps the most power
ful engine that has ever been built. AL
though heavier than any other that has
been made at Crewe, it is 80 constructed
that there is no more than the usual
weight ON any one pair of wheels, and
there is therefore no extra strain on the
permanent way or bridges. This is
brought about by the two pairs of driv-
ing wheels being placed in front of the
frebox, and an additional pair of small
wheels behind the firebox and under
meath the footplGte, having half an inch
of side play. The wheels under the
front or leading end are fitted with
Webb's patent radial axle box, so that,
although of great length, the engine can
travel over curves with complete safety.
