Didn't Know of Any Accident,

A great many people know of the
instructions which every railroad is
sues to its employees in regard to Sc
crecy concerning the business of the
company, and especially in the case OF
an accident On the Maine Central
the employees are always found ex-
tremely noncommunicative concern

this prevailing custom an exchange
tells the following amusing story:
The reporter that accompanied
the special train to the scene of the
wreck hurried down the embankment
and found a man with one arm IN a
sling, a bandage over one eye, his
front teeth gone and his nose knocked
four points to the starboard sitting on

Toilets in Japan.

This is the way Japanese belle
takes a bath, according to travel
er:
The pretty little maiden lit the
stove under the bath, got down her
little bag of bran, and laid ready her
best kimono and her new obi. By
this time the water was boiling, or
nearly so, in the cedar tub, she took
away the stove, threw some OF the
water over her, sat on the floor beside
the bath; scrubbed herself with bran,
deluged herself with water again, and
then for two minutes in she went,
scattering the drops all over her with
her wooden dlpper.
But there was no time to waste
even over the delights Of the bath;
her hair had to be redone, and this
took some time, for our musumi was
a Kyoto girl, and Kyoto girls are not
only the prettiest but the best turned
out girls in all Japan, so she was not
satisfied with her tire-woman until
her black locks shone like silk and her
couture a la Fujisan was as stiff as
camellia oil could make it.
And, after her hair was done, it
took her some time to arrange her
obi-it would not come right: first it
insisted on tying itself into crooked
knot instead of beautiful butterfly
bow; when the knot had been smooth
ed out and by chance it sat straight
it was too flat and not stiff enough.
However, a japanese girl does not
know how to lose her temper, not
even over her most irritating obi, and
at last, coaxed with showers OF
laughter and SUPPLE hands, it sets as
it should; her breakfast does not take
long, and then she runs over the mats,
slips the cord of her sandals between
her big toe and number two, and
clatters down the street.

Not to Be Stopped.

The Boston Globe tells a story re-
lated by the assistant manager OF the
Symphony orchestra. The Friday
afternoon rehersals of the orchestra,
as is well known, are attended by a
great concourse of women.
One afternoon the doors had Just
been opened, and there was a grand
rush up the stairs for the unreserved
seats in the second balcony. In the
crush one woman shed some of her
fine feathers in the shape of an over
skirt.
The assistant manager held it up
and cried. Here, madam"
She turned and looked, but music
and a good seat had charms. Except
for me-" she said, and hurried on up
the stairs.

The man OF certain Maine regiment,

with wings Outspread, whose feet
seemed scarcely to touch the ground,
and from whose beak issued q sue

was not treasured by the cries OF the
gander's owner, "Hold on, man, hold
on! He won't hurt you!"
"Call off your gander! Call him off,
shouted the fleeing soldier.
Neither man nor gander stopped
until inside the camp lines, when the
soldiers friends relieved him of his
fierce pursuer with the aid OF the butt
OF musket.
"Did that gander think he could
chase me like that and live?" the sol
der exclaimed, as he surveyed the

HOW MEG LOST TUE BABY.

One morning Mrs. Sackett put Julia
carefully into her carriage. She tuck
ed her up with rugs, afghans and
shawls. Meg often wondered how the
baby could breathe; but Julia was
fat and hearty, and Meg knew that
she grew heavier. So it must have
agreed with her.
"Keep where it's pleasant and sun
ny, and take good care OF her." said
Mrs. Sackett.
She said this every day. Meg took
as much care of Julia as any we'll
meaning but careless girl Of fourteen
does a baby. At the crossing she
thumped the carriage down into one
gutter, and banged it up out OF the
other. The baby was used to this,
and only opened her eyes wide and
gasped on arriving on the other side.
Meg was just turning the corner
when she heard her mothers voice.
"Me-e-eg!"
"Yes'm!'
"Stop at Hurd's and send home
three pounds OF brown sugar and a
half-pound of tea!''
"Yes'm"
Meg thrust her elbows through the
handle of the baby carriage, and
crocheted as she walked. Crocheting
tides was Meg's favorite pastime.
She always had a tidy under way.
Hurd's was a corner grocery store,
with a door opening on each of the
two streets. Meg wheeled the car
riage close to the show window, and
fastened the wheel with a stone so
that it couldn't roll off.
Julia sat still, and gazed with at
tention at the Respondent advertise
ments OF jerks soap and Tompkln's
ginger, although she must have known
these placards by heart. Babies have
to endure SO much which they do not
understand that it IS not surprising
that they become philosophers.
Hurd's was crowded, as it always
was in the morning, but Meg did not
object to waiting. She chatted with
Katie Allen and Lou French, and
even drew out her tidy and did two
rows before the salesman had time to
attend to her.
Then she ordered sugar and tea with
as grand an air as that worn by Mrs.
Ponsonby, who resided in four
story brown-stone house on a stylish
avenue, while Meg lived in a "third
flat"
"Wait for me'' said Katie Allen.
GIVE got to go to the Butchers
"All right" answered Meg
She waited and when Katie started,
she walked with her, talking briskly,
down the street almost block before
she suddenly cried: ooh! forgot the
baby'
"What baby?" asked Katie.
"Why, l had our baby with me and
I've gone and left the carriage out
siue the store"
"There wasn't any baby at the door
when we came out, J" replied Kate.
'tSure enough" said Meg, "there
