How a German Train i. Started.

According to the Rail,Cay Reriep, an
official of the Pittsburg and Lake Erie
Railroad recently returned from Europe,
referring to railway practice in Ger.
many, says: THE roadbeds are about
perfect, while the stations are magnifi.
cent, even in the most insignificant
places being very fine. The roadbels
are quite rigid, but this is mainly due
to the iron and steel cross ties that are
used. The locomotives are fine pieces
of mechanism, but their capacity is
scarcely equal to those on this side of
the Atlantic. Their entire passenger
equipment is always behind that in
use here. Their trains, however, run
like clockwork, and the connections
are perfect.
The method of starting trains is alto
gether unique and pecuhaN and will
cause local agents and trainmen to
smile, The agent is an imposing,
dignifed and solem-looking official,
attired in elaborate uniform, literally
gilt-edged, and he acts as master of
ceremonies on the imposing occasion.
When the train arrives at station he
is standing bolt upright in an almost
military position, and he Is on dress
parade.
One miAute before the train starts he
reaches up and taps o gong three
times. Then q strange scene takes
place, and it would seem that he had
pressed button, for at the last tap the
conductor, who has been at the rear
car. comes galloping along the entire
length of the platform, Shouting in
German the. name of every station the
traiH Will stop at. Whar the engine is
reached he wheels about, and on his
retarn closes and locks the car doors,
darts back to the van to his perch on
The rear car, whistles thrice on tin or
netal whistle, which is instantly re-
peated hy the brakeman at the front
end, and the train starts.

EWES FORBIDDEN FRUIT.
The Double Cocoanut Successfully Grow
at Kew.

The Double Cocoanut successfully Grown
at Kew.
After many attempts the remarkable
palm tree known as coco de -1er, or
double cocoanut, has at last become
firmly established in the royal gardens,
Kew. The coco de mer has peculiar
| way of its own when it decides to grow.
Most plants are content to spring
straight up from their seeds, says the
Brandon Banner.
Not SO this one, however. Its huge
fbrous fruits, fourteen inches and
more in length, require very careful
manipulation to induce them to sprout
at one end. When this takes place,
the growing shoot must be tempted to
attach itself to the soil, sometimes at
the distance of two or three feet, before
/ the leaves will develop.
The double cocoanut possesses
charms for more people than the
gardener or the botanist, and this being
so is it surprising to find that th4 late
Gen. Gordon became deeply interested
in it? Indeed, Judging from the nu-
merous sketches he has left behind of
the tree, its fruits, ETC., and the many
remarks he made concerning them, his
interest was more than passing.
| He appears to have studied every
thing in connection with the coco de
mer, and it is somewhat remarkable to
find that he regarded it as the tree
which bore the forbidden fruit" in the
Garden of Eden. Whether it grew in
the Garden of Eden or not is difficult to
say. At any rate, its native home-the
Seychelle Islands, to the northeast of
Madagascar-is at present somewhat
remote from the spot reputed to have
been occupied by Adam and Eve.
The large fruits, which look like two
ordinary cocoanuts fused together
hence the name of double cocoanut"
have been known for about $50 years,
and many are the legends among the
natives of the East concerning their
origin. The fruits were usually found
floating in the sea and the Malay and
Chinese sailors used to say that they
grew on tree at the bottom of the
ocean.

During his rough and tumble life he

Animals in the Rain.

Horses and cattle never look so mis-,
cradle us when standing exposed to the
cold and driving rain. Every field iu
which cattle are turned loose should
have some rude shelter provided, how
ever rough and hardy the stock. If
left to themselves in state of nature
they would travel miles to some WE'LL
known bank or thicket, which would
at least give cover against the wind.
Shut up between four hedges, they are
denied alike the aid of human fore.
thought and of their own instinct.
Bewick's vignettes of old horses, or
unhappy donkeys, huddled together in
driving showers on some bleak COM
mon, express a vast amount of animal
misery in an inch of Woodcut. It seems
strange that no animal, unless it be the
squirrel, seems to build itself shelter
with the express object of keeping oil
the rain, which they all so much dis
like.
Monkeys are miserable in wet, and
could easily build shelters if they had
the sense to do so. ':As the creatures
hop disconsolately along in the rain,' -
writes Mr.. KiPpliRg, in his beast and
Man in India, "''or crouch on branches,
with dripping backs set against the
tree trunk as shelter from n driving
storm, they have the air of being very
sorry for themselves. But even the
orang outang, which builds Z small
platform in tue Jrees on which to sleep
at night, never seems to think of roof,
though the Dyaks say that when it is
very wet it covers itself with the leaves
of the pandanus, large fern.

Fishes that Build Nests.

The gouramis are chiefly remarkable
for the fact that they build nests like
birds. At the breeding season they
pair off, each couple selecting a spot
among water plants and forming a
nearly spherical nest, composed of a
peculiar kind of floating weed, which
grows in tufts on the surface of the
ponds, and plasterel with mud. The
nest is usually about six inches in di-
ameter. its construction occupying the
fish for five or six days. Where they
are propagated their task is made
easier by placing in the water branches
of bamboo, to which punches of the
grass referred to are attached. The
gouramis take this grass and with it
make their nest in the submerged
branches of bamboo. When it is fin
ished the female deposits her eggs in it
to the number Of from eight hundred
to thousand.
While the eggs are undergoing the
process of incubation the p lrents guard
their nest carefully, rushing tiercely at
any intruder, and this care for the
safety of their young is continued af.
ter the latter are hatchel. During in-
fancy the young ones find refuge in the
nest from a thousand dangers which
would otherwise threaten them, and
the grass composing the nest furnishes
them with their earliest food. When
they are few days old the small fry
begin to make short excursions from
the nest, always in charge of their par
ents and swimming close together in a
shoal. This is continued until they
are able to look out for themselves.

CRUEL LITTLE BUTCHER BIRD.
It Loves to Kill Small Animals and I'm

It Loves to Kill Small Animals and I'm
pale Them on Thorns.
The butcher bird is considered by
some of the ornithologists as the most
sagacious bird in America. Thomas
Oldham, of Lordsburg, says the Pom.
ona Progress, tells us that he believes
it as cruel as it is sagacious.
Il have paid lots of attention to
pair of common butcher birds at nv
place for six months said he, "and l
have learned many new things about
the habits of the peculiar butcher bird.
A pair of them have followed me while
a-ploughing for three or four DAYS at a
! time, watching for me to overturn q
nest of field mice. When 1 cv, rturn a
nest they will pounce down upon the
little mice and claw and peck them to

selves as if they had great fun in see-
ing the rodents twist and squirm in the
throes of death. But L am most sur
prised to see how strong butcher birds
are and what they can lift and fly
away with. L have often seen toads
that have been imp4led upon thorns of
century plant on my place and left to
die. The other morning saw
butcher bird with snake fully foot
long. He had it by the back of the
neck, and flew with 1t up into an orange
tree. He there nailed the reptile ON
thorn and sat and watched it. He
let the snake almost wriggle off, when
he flew at it and fixed it on more firmly.
Because these birds are destructive to
gophers and rats they are considered
the friends of the orange growers.

He Didn't Recognize Them.

VI was coming down to Chicago from

occurred on the sleeper which created
considerable merriment," said a passen-
ger agent of the Northwestern Road. "A

climbed into the sleeper. He was a
rough looking old gentleman, and his

unused to such luxurious surroundings.

He Called Dawn IN. y,rL..

Some years ago an English engineer,
now prominent in the official manage
ment of one of our great railroads, was
experimenting the construction of new
road in Pennsylvania. After supper ono
evening he strolled into the "settin' room"
Of the country tavern, where some
twenty men were seated around the
stove, smoking and chatting. A regular
Down East Yankee was expounding tho
remarkable strength of the arch, its use
and application in mechanics, and illus
trating his remarks by paving half
bushel measure.
"You amt no idee," said he, show
strong the arch is if ye set it right-if ye
know how. Now there's the egg-noth-
ms got a prettier arch than the egg, and
If you set it right it's mighty strong.
Why. l kin set an egg on this floor in
sich shape that ye can't break it with this
half -bushel measure.
A general murmur of sneering disbe-
lief ran around the room; but the Yam
kee was game.
II said kin, and kin, and I'll bet the
drinks for the crowd OH it.
The engineer hated a Yankee, and
though reserved man, he could not per-
NIT Yankee to bluff whole party
with such an arrogant and preposterous
statement, so he quietly said:
Il will take that bet"
An egg was brought in from the ekitch-
On and handed to the Yankee. He took
it, and stood it upon the floor in the cor.
her of the room where the measure
couldn't reach it.
The engineer did not even attempt to
Fill square corner with a round meas
