What am Engineer Docs in DANCER

We are making mile a minute. What
would the driver do if he saw before
him 8. burning bridge, or the red lights
Of a standing train? His left hand is
on the throttle. He would close it. AL
most in the same second his right hand
would grasp the sand lever, and with
his left he would apply the brakes
With both hands, in about the third
second he would reverse the engine Per-
haps he has heard that old story that
to reverse a locomotive is to increase
her speed--that bird will fly faster
with folded wings; he may pretend to
believe it, but he will reverse her just
the same If she has room she will
stop. Even without the aid of the air
brake she will stop the train if the rail
holds out. l ought to say that, the in
slant he reverses the engine, he will
kick the cylinder cocks open-other-
wise he may blow off a steam chest or
a cylinder head.-McClure'S Magazine.

BRAVE DEEDS.
Acts of Daring That Will Go Down te
History.

One of the traditions of Boston il
that at anti-slavery meetings held be.
fore the war eloquence was so common
that no orator, not even Wendell Phil
lips, could thrill the audience unless his
speech was exceptionally brilliant and
original. A similar remark may be
made of soldiers and their brave deeds,
says the Youths Companion. So COM
mon is courage to them that they are
thrilled only by an extraordinary deed
of daring.
Some ys1rs ago an English ship, the
Birkenhead, filled with women, children
and soldiers, struck hidden rock and
began to sink. The boats could not
save all and though the coast was near,
the intervening water abounded with
sharks.
At the command of their colonel the
soldiers formed in line to die. They
saw the boats loaded with women and
children go off, but at parade rest"
they stood on the deck,
Whilst, inch by inch, the drowning ship sank
Still under steadfast men.
The civilized world was thrilled by
the brave deed but the foremost soldier
OF the day, Wellington, while heartily
pralsing the discipline of the battalion,
said not word of their courage That,
from the military point of view, was
what would be expected of British SOL
diers. But their discipline, bv which
they were enabled to stand in rising,
surglng waters, without finching and
III unbroken ranks, until drowned-that
was worthy of commanders praise.
While the mutinous Sepoys were at
lacking Gen. Wheeler's Entertainments
at Cawnpore, a shot from their batter
les. blew up the contents of a two
wheeled cart loaded with cartrid ges.
1t also set fire to the woodwork of the
cart which was standing in the place
where the English ammunition was
stored
Both the mutineers and the English
saw that if the fire was not extinguished
there would soon be a most disastrous
explosion. The Sepoy batteries, there
fore, poured in a deadly stream of
round shot to prevent the English from
putting out the flames.
A young lieutenant, Delaforse, I'M
moved by the concentrated fire of shot,
threw himself under the blazing car
rage, tore away the burning wood with
his hands and throwing earth upon the
blazing brands stified the fire before it
could spread to the ammunition.
That was the sort of deed which
stirred British lungs to hurrah and
British generals to praise in official or
ders. 1t is for such deeds that the Iron
cross OF Germany, the French Cross of
the Legion of Honor or the Victoria
Cross of England are given. Each of
these decorations marks the fact that a
soldier has distinguished himself above
his brave comrades.

WHAT TRAINING DOES FOR A MAN
Gives Grasp and Decision and Increases
His Working Power Incomparably.

A business firm once employed a
trained young man whose energy and
grasp of affairs soon led the manage
ment to promote him over faithful
and trusted employe, says Floyd Davis
in the Popular Sciebe Monthly. The
old clerk felt deeply hurt that the young
man should be promoted over him and
took occasion to complain of it to the
manager. Feeling that this was a case
that could not be argued the manager
asked the old clerk what was making
all the noise in front of the building
He went forward and returned with the
answer that it was a lot of wagons 90
ing by. He then asked the clerk what
they were loaded with, and again ne
went out and returned, reporting that
they were loaded with wheat The
manager again sent him to ascertain
how many there were, and he returned
with the answer that there were sixteen.
Finally he was sent to see where they
were from, and he returned. saying
that they were from the city of Lucena.
The manager then asked the old clerk
to be seated. and sent for the young
man and said TO him, will you see
what is the meaning of that rumbling
noise in 'front.'" The young man re-
piled: at is unnecessary, for | have
already ascertained that it is caused by
sixteen wagons loaded with wheat.
Twenty more will pass tomorrow.
They belong to Romero & Co. of Lucena
and are on their way to Marchesa,
where wheat is bringing $1.25 per
bushel, while it costs only 81 at Lucena.
The wagons carry 100 bushels each and
get ID cents per bushel for hauling"
The young man was then dismissed.
and the manager turning to the old
clerk said: MY friend, you see now
why the young man was promoted over
you" This illustrates the tendency of
our times, for we are rapidly advancing
into an age when concentration of en-
ergy and grasp of subject in detail in
the shortest possible time are requisite
for advancement.

ClEOPATRA'S NEEDLE.
How New YOrks and the One England
Secured Were Transported.

There was party around one of the
small tables on the veranda of the CO.
lumbia Athletic Club the other evening
when the talk turned on the Washing o
ton Monument, and from that drifted to
obelisks in general.
well, one of the most pleasant recol-
lections | have to look back on" said
Adam Johnson, who was one of the
party, "is the fact that l was one of the
party that helped to run up the Amer
lean colors over Cleopatra's Needle
when it was being taken down to be
carried to New York. Our vessel was
out in the Mediterranean with q rowing
commission, and we were at Alexandra
at the time the obelisk was being
moved. The big stone had been pre-
sented by the Egyptian Government to
this country, but the people were wild
about having it moved. We had to place
guard around the men who were
working on the shaft, and even then
there was almost riot
But that was one of the prettiest

seen. The engineers who were moving

like the pieces of wood around the lead
IN pencil. There were a couple of
projections on each side of the castings
just on the centre of gravity, in the
shaft, like the trunions on a cannon
Under these they put lifting jacks and
just picked that immense stone off its
pedestal, swung its around horizontally
and then lowered it as gently as could
be on long sliding way, with cannon
balls under it for rollers. They had a
square hole cut in the stern of the
steamer, and slid it into the hull through
that and replaced the sheathing out
side.
Under the shaft in the inside of the
pedestal there were a lot of bronze toads
and ornaments, and the Lord knows
what not, that the Masons claimed were
placed there by some of their progeni-
tors aeons ago. | don't know anything
about that, though. and you can leave
1t or take it as you choose.
The British were not half so slick
with the obelisk they carried over to
England. They cased it up in a big
sheet-iron arrangement like a boiler,
riveted it in and iloated the whole thing

jury sails on it and towed it over to
England, but they lost three or four
men off it before they got it in port, and
had all sorts of time generally.
"A couple of years afterwards | saw
the British obelisk set up on the east
bank of the Thames, and when / came
home, the first thing went to see was

The Greatest Fortress in the World

In 1779 the combined French and
Spanish land and sea forces besieged
Gibraltar, closely investing the place
until September IS, 1872, when the
most memorable attack that history re-
cords was made upon it.
Forty-six line-of-battle ships, three
hundred gun and mortar boats. to-
gether with great fleet of specially
constructed armored floating batteries
encircled the rock, and daily hurled
thousands of tons of iron against its
scraggy sides.
This frightful assault was maintained
and successfully resisted for several
months, and it was not until 1888, when
peace was declared, that the siege was
raised, aud the English left masters of
the place that they had defended with
out cessation for four weary years.
The great rock of Gibraltar is of
limestone formation. and is honeycombed
with caverns and subterranean avenues.
Some of the caves have been given such
names as St. Michael's Martins, Fig
tree, Monkey, Beefsteak, and Judges.
The first of these is on the western side,
and its entrance is about LOO feet
above the sea. 1t is the most remarka-
BILE and interesting chamber of them
all, and the particular cave that tourists
make point of exploring. The earth
slopes rapidly from the entrance, and
the passage opens into hall 200 feet
long, of varying width, and 20 feet in
height. The roof of this cave has the
appearance of being supported by the
enormous stalactite pillars that reach
from the floor and spread out where
they mingle overhead. These columns
are of wonderful beauty, and form every
imaginable shape-trees, animals, hui
man figures, etc.
From St. Michaers Cave passages IA
date and lead to four smaller chambers,
known as Leonora's Caves, one of which
is fully 800 feet below the surface. The
first OF these four was given the name
of Victoria : Cave. in honor of Euglaud's
Queen, by Captain Bronze of the Royal
Engineers, to whom the credit of the dis
covery is wallpapers Young People.

TIME TO STOP IMMIGRATION.
The American Omnibus Is About as Full
as 1t Can Hold.

1t is interesting to note the strong re-
action that has been loading the emf
grant ships with strange companies
OF people who have failed to gain an in
dustrial footing in America and are re-
turning to central and eastern Europe,
says the RerieW of Rerielcs. 1t would
be good policy to aid this turn of the
tide by every legitimate means. For.
tunately, the east bound emigrant rates
this season are extremely low. We
were compelled to support hundreds OF
thousands of those people by charity
during last winter, and the cheapest az
well as the wisest form of expenditure
in their behalf would be to buy their re-
turn tickets and send them back where
they belong.
This temporary reversal of the cur
rent of migration affords the natural
and safe opportunity for congress to
enact law severely restricting immi-
grafton for period of Years. 1t would
be the most popular law ever placed on
our statute books since the foundation
of the American republic. 1t could be
enacted just now with a minium of hard
ship to any interest. When the times
AL " = anu lilC I>tiOPCdu
surplus begins once more to seek led
crowded quarters, the sign of IN More
Vacant Seats" on the door of our Amer
lean omnibus would simply give Aus
traia, South Africa and South America
the better chance to advertise their COM
parative emptiness and their great re-
sources and attractions.
All the most deplorable and most dan
gerous features of the recent labor
troubles, whether those of the bitumin-
ous-coal strikes or those of the riots ac-
companying the railway strikes, were
clearly due to the fact of vast oversup-
ply of recently imported and not yet
assimilated working population from
the Notwithstanding countries of
central and eastern Europe. The re-
strictiOn of immigration should have
been accomplished ten years ago. 1t is
no longer delicate question open to
argument, but an imperative duty de-
manding prompt action.
