A RAGOUT OF PEAS.

A ragout of peas needs but to be

ounces of butter into saucepan with
teaspoon of minced onion, few
leaves of fresh mint, pepper and salt.
When these ingredients have SIM
mered for few minutes take care
that they do not acquire the least
colorado quart Of green peas, and
shake the pan to prevent their burn
ing; after five minutes add half pint
of water, very little borax and half
a teaspoon of powdered sugar. Cover
the pan closely and draw it to the
side of the fire, and let the contents
cook slowly for about three-quarters
of an hour; if allowed to boil tho
water will soon be absorbed, and, IN
less more is added at once, the peas,
instead of being large and tender,
will be shrivelled and hard. New

The successful bid was $19G5, as

CraZed Engineers,

The strange antics OF a crazy engin-
eer at Alton, Ill.,, suggest the fact that
insanity is very frequent among rail
way employees. Two dramatic illus
trations can be mentioned. There is
living in New Jersey, not far from
Philadelphia, man who for many
years was the foremost passenger
engineer between New York and Phila-
delphia on the Pennsylvania Railroad.
He ran all the specials and best trains,
and III ten years never had an acci.
dent. One night in the CLEAN of the
headlight he saw n woman. He had
only time to see her hands raised and
to hear her cry, and before he could
put his hand upon the lever he felt q
jerk under the wheels and knew that
all was over. Since that night he has
never been on an engine. For months
he did not sleep, and later became
practically insane, but only on the
one point of seeing and hearing the
woman his engine killed. Now he
goes abolt harmlessly and mlessly,
but he has to be kept away from rail
roads, and in his fretful sleep he
nwakens with cries and paroxysms of
horror. The other case 10 that of II
man who was conductor of train on
the Camden and Amboy, whose train
had an accident. He came out all
right himself, but it preyed SO upon
his mind that one night he left his
home, and going to the point where
the accident occurred, threw himself
in front Of II passing train, receiving
injuries from which he died. -Phila-

empty sleeve, and were visibly SYM

moved trifie to give the one-armed
girl seat. 1t was very singular
thing to see such well-dressed, bright
girl with only one arm, and public
curiosity was at n high pitch concern
ing the cause of the pathetic empty
sleeve. Finally the afflicted maiden
dropped her purse, and the old gentle
man who restored it said kindly: "My
dear, how did you lose your arm?'
She turned her innocent violet eyes
upon him in evident surprise, and the
passengers all presented their ears,
aching to listen. 81 haven't lost any
of my arms, +" she replied, thrusting a
neatly gloved hand in sight 81 just
pulled my hand up into my sleeve to

Then all the passengers looked huffy,
