busting With Air.

One of those simple inventions which
makes everybody wonder why it had
not been thought of before is the new
device for cleaning railway cars adopt
ed by the Union Pacific Railroad at its
shops at Portland, Ore, says the In
dUstridi H'Or{d.
Compressed air at pressure OF fifty
pounds to the square inch is carried to
the ears by means of a flexible rubber
hose with Il small nozzle. The APP
paratus is used in precisely the same
way that a water hose is used, the
only difference being that compact
stream of air instead of water does the
cleaning work.
The results achieved by this device
are said to be extraordinary. Not
only is the work more thoroughly done
than BY beating with stick and by
the use of brushes, but the car is clean
ed in an exceedingly short time.
The effect on the plush cushions is
said to be particularly good, the COM
pressed air being. in fact. not only a
beater. but brush as well. There is
not crack or Granny in the car that
is safe from the searching current of
compressed air

A Former Act Of Bravery Saves y Negro

the n l. Times He was well known
in Grand Army circles and had lived
by the charities sf Grand Army men
for the last twenty years.
Johnson received his queer sobri-
quet, "Bomb-proof,' from General
Grant. When the union troops were
making their approach toward Rich
mond artillery duels between the con-
federatc stronghold. Fort Darling>and
the United States batteries ut HarriSons
Landing were of frequent occurrence.
1t was not often that the confederates'
shells did any harm but one day a
'screame4'" fell among a number OF
officers who waSe seated before their
tents. John johnson, then an intelli
gent young contraband and the SER
want of one OF these officers, was
present. The shell rolled directly to
his feet
Each one did his best to get away
from the neighborhood of the unwel-
come visitor, except Johnson. He
stopped and attempted to roll the she'll
toward the embankment, intending to
hurl it over into the ditch, but before
he could carry out his purpose it ex-
ploded.
The officers fastened back to where
the brave fellow had fallen, expecting
to find him dead. He was merely
stunned, however, and bore not the
slightest sign of having been wounded,
but after he had recovered it was seen
that the shock in some way had affect
ed his mind, although not enough to
make him unfit for duty.
Some time after this occurrence
Johnson was court-martialed for some
thing he had done and found guilty.
The verdict of the court was sent to
General Grant for his approval. The
general, who knew of the shell incl
dent, sent the verdict back with this

childhood. One day, after she had
known Mr.. Wilmington a few months
before they were engaged To be mar
rie1. the Young man had laughingly
pulled from his pocket penny through
which some foolish person had bored
hole. Elsie was just about to ap-
pear in a new character, so Horace. in
fun. remarked: Then take this penny
and keep it for luck; you viii never
fail in part 50 long as YOU keep ii.
Elsie entered into the spirit OF the
thing and said: Now. if ] could only
get my own talisman split | would
hang the penny onto it."
That is easily done" said Horace,
as he took the ring in his hand and ad-
mired its chasing. Il will take it to
Evans in Sheffield and have it split. :"
Accordingly he took the ring and in
a few DAYS returned it with the penny
hanging to it. Elsie fastened a ribbon
to ii and wore it around her neck.
Alas, that ring ana that penny were
the parallels of the characters of the
two persons To whom they had be-
longed. The one pure gold, refined
and chased by master hand, des-
tined to be broken by the owner Of
the baser metal which entered the
golden heart and broke it in two and
left it.

He cared nothing.
Elsie's sensitive nature was too high
strung She could not survive the
disgrace. even though it was apparent
only to herself. Her heart broke, and
in the early weeks of December, when
the narrow little Church street and
the roofs of the neighboring cottages
were covered with snow; when the
timid robin had become so tame as to
tly to the windows of human habita-
ti0ns for the food OF charity; when the
world was beginning to prepare its
annual festival Of peace and good
will toward men," the poor little act

What Women Owe to Inventions.

A very respectable but very square
iawed set of people still shake their
heads and knit their brows over wo-
mans alleged breaking away from the
halter to jump the hedge into the
wide. wide world. "She should stay
at home and take care of her chill
drcn." is their stern utterance. Prob
ably it wo.ld be useless to assure
these determined ones that it is an in
ctlcnt in the evolution of the race that
there are startling numbers of single
women upon whom business opportu-
mites are thrust, also that those who
take care of children may do more
than that as well as their grandmoth-
ers did. Sixteen hours Il day are not
required by an intelligent woman to
attend to the proper bringing up of her
family.
The fact is yet to dawn upon many
that Woman's time has or should
have 4 value which if not measured in
dollars and cents is felt in the cduca-
tional impulse impaired to her sons
and daughters resulting from her wise
use of it.
Gainful occupations for women, as a
consequence of the adoption of me-
chanic inventions. are placing a value
upon her work. which without these
would rrquire untold ages 10 accord.
