An Observing Baker.

During a war between Austria and
Turkey baker in his cellar kneading
bread noticed a slight noise rising and
falling at intervals, which seemed to
come from distant corner of his cellar.
He stopped his work, and tracing the
sounds discovered that they were caused
by few marbles dancing up and down
on the head of little drum his child
had left there.
The majority of persons would have
been satisfied to attribute the motion of
the marbles to the rumbling in the
street, or to the occasional firing of guns.
but this man was an observer.
Surprised at the perfect regularity
with which the marbles jumped from
the drum head, he put his ear to the
ground and noticed a distant tapping
He recalled how as boy he had heard
from one end of a long log companion
scratching with a pin upon the other
end, and he Judged that the earth was
just such conductor of sound as the
log had been.
Suddenly it flashed upon him that
what he heard was the sound of a pick,
and that the Turks were doing what had
so long been feared, undermining the
city. The news was carried to the Aus
TRAN general, examination made, a
counter mine prepared and exploded, and
the Turks put to 1ight.-Youth's Com.

A Common Malady.

Il came into little money q few
months ago." said the sad man, land as
| had been working for others oil my
life thought would go into business
for myself. took a look at about fifty
stores that were advertised for sale, and
by the time got through investigating
knew it all and 1attered myself that
the man wasn't living who could get
the better Of me. Nearly all the places
offered for sale had a run down look
about them that told only too plainly
why their owners were anxious to get
out of business. On the other hand,
some of the stores had that unmistakable
evidence Of newness about them that !
was quick to see that they were merely
got up to sell by sharpers and had no es-
tablished trade at all.
"At last bought out a cigar store.
It was sold on account Of sickness, and
no one could doubt the owners word
who saw him. He was the sickest look
ing man ever saw, and l didn't ques-
ton him very closely because felt that
man who was as near dead as he was
wouldn't be apt to lie. But / couldn't
have bought worse business if | had
tried. During the three months l was
there don't think there was single
day when I didn't smoke more cigars
myself than sold. At last the man
next door asked me how WAS making
out, and when told him ne wanted to
know what excuse the other man had
given for selling.
"'It was on account Of Sickness
said.
"'Did he tell you how he got sick?
the man asked.
"'No,' I replied.
"Well,' he rejoined in low and SYM
pathetic voice, the poor fellow got sick
trying to make the place pay.'"-New

Too Frank Expressions.

In an Irish daily there recently ap-
peared this advertisement: 'Wanted-A
gentleman to undertake the sale of a
patent medicine; the advertiser guaran-
tees it will be profitable to the under
taker." This is even an unhappier mode
OF expression than that adopted in a

to have to announce the death Of Mr..

b hear of the sad event, as deceased had
been attended for some time by DR..

Why Rats Are Dangerous Passengers

Why Rats Are Dangerous Passengers.
A most remarkable instance of the
mischief which the rat is capable of do
ing came to light during the proceedings
of a naval court Of inquiry held in Au-
gust, 1875, for the purpose Of Investigate
ing the cause Of the loss of the bark
Commodore of Hartlepool. The vessel,
which was burned at sea, had been
loaded with cargo of timber, and the
fire broke out in the hold in most mys-
FERROUS manner. It was eventually
proved, on the evidence Of tho entire
crew, that beyond a shadow of doubt
the outbreak was originated by rat
carrying off a lighted candle, which had
stood in the forecastle and was presently
missed by the sailors, and dropping it
among the dry and resinous pine slowed
below.
The Shipping Gazette, in commenting
upon this extraordinary case at the time,
and speaking of the danger generally of
rats on shipboard, said that 'sthey have
caused the laundering of many ships by
gnawing holes in the planking or so eat
ing away the inner sides of the wood as
to leave very little for the straining of
the hull to do in completing the aper-
ture; they have been known to nibble
the timber at the waterways until the
wood was so thin as to admit rainwater
through it; they will attack the bungs
of casks and create leakage; find out the
soft parts Of the knees or lining, and
make a passage for themselves from one
part to another" So fully has the dan
ger Of this now come to be recognized
that such contingencies are generally
provided for in the insurance Of wooden
built ships.-Chambers' Journal.

GOULD AND SAGE MUST GO.
This Is the General Belief, Though
Russell Sage Denies the Reports.

Russell Sage Denies the Reports.
NEW YORK, April 20.-Referring to the
rumors about the impending changes in
the Union Pacific, Russell Sage today
said he regarded the talk of making Cap
tain Hayes president as most insane
proposition. He knew a Mr.. Bossavain
had been asking for proxies, but did not
believed Pierrepont Morgan had anything
TO do with him. Bossayain possibly rep
resented a syndicate of Amsterdam
stockholders. Sage said any one who
would take and assume the responsibility
OF the management of the company would
have TO be brave one. No one has done
so much for the company as Gould. He
advanced large sums at various times to
scribed largely to the syndicate which
raised 100000 last year TO pay # the
company's floating debt.
At the office Of the New York & North
ern Company this afternoon it was stated
that Captain Hayes declined to say any
thing. Dillon was not at his office today.
Well-informed persons say it was not in-
tended to remove Dillon, but that Gould
and Sage we're to 90.
A Boston dispatch says Ames admits
nothing about L Mon Pacific affairs, but it
is apparent something is going on which is
not made public.
Captain Richard Somers Hayes, who is
slated for president of the Union Pacific,
was formerly vice president of the Mis-
souri, Pacific and is now president of the
New York & Northern. The latter is

city fifty-four miles to Brewster, y. Y,

of his feet. The diver was riding him,
belaboring the poor beast. till of a sudden
deep water was reached and the horse had
to swim ashore, carrying rider and tow
line with him. 1t vas enough to make
ones blood boil 10 see a dumb animal
abused like that. At Sultan, the terminus
Of the water line, the freight is transferred
to wagons drawn by four horses and
started on the long trip toward the sum-
nit. At two or three places on the line
there are company stores. where men who
are boarding themselves can buy supplies.
The last Of these stores at present is at
Foss river, about twenty miles up the
south fork Of the skykomish. There is a
steady procession Of these "freighters"
over the line from s1.tana, every large
camp having one or more attached 10 it.
AL the way up the river from Sultan
the traveller IS hardly out Of sight or
sound Of the railroad work, save at places
where the wagon road goes over the hills
through the timber and the right-of-way
follows the stream. It is certainly an in
spring sight. The air quiyers with the
crash OF falling trees and the boom Of
heavy blasting. while burning stumps
and logs point out the way which the To-
connective will soon travel. Every few
miles a camp is met. They are usually
aiike-a long shed stable for the horses,
tent barn full of hay and grain for their
feed, shack house for a dining-roOm for
the men, with half a dozen tents for
their sleeping-rooms. About mile
this side of Granite point is large
engineers camp, and near by hospital
camp, with a surge N and nurse IN con-
slant attendance. There Is 10 be another
hospital camp near the summit, and there
is already one near Snohomish. Two
physicians ride over the whole line twice
a week, caring for the sick or disabled.
Provision is also made for supplying the
men with their mail matter. l met the
mail carrier at one place. He makes the
round trip twice week between the adj
vance post and Sultan, stopping at all the
camps. The men pay . cents each per
month for this service, and this gallant
rider, booted and spurred, gallops off on
his feet horse, with every one in his case
ready to welcome the coming and speed
the parting guest"
One of the most surprising sights of ell,
however, is 4 steam sawmill at Foss river,
way up in the mountains, twenty miles
above Granite point. The boiler was taken
up last Saturday. The whole machinery
had to be drawn by wagon for nearly forty
miles from Sultan. There has been for
some time a mill at Sultan, but none be-
yond that. Now the demands OF railroad
building bring mill upon into the heart
of the Cascades. 1t will be used for get
ting out timber for use in the tunnel at
Foss river and for other railroad purposes
This is only one instance of the energy
and enterprise that are manifested all
along the line.
