Railroad Crockery.

There il a tradition among the Hudson
River railroad folk that the jewellers along
the tracks north and south of POughkeep-
sic keep themselves in crockery from the
cups, saucers, plates and tumblors fired
from the car windows Travellers snatch
ing a hasty luncheon at the restaurant in
the station levy ON such utensils 20 carry
food TO companions unable TO get out, and
the trains move OFF often before the cup OF
plate Is released from duty. As a deposit
has been paid largely in excess Of the value
of the article, and as most passengers have
no desire TO preserve this crockery merely
as bric-a- brac, it having no other civil
lived use outside the railroad restaurant,
the car window usually ctfers a prompt
and easy solution Of its disposition.
And these literal wrecks Of time, built
70 stand more than mere pitching from a
flying express, rest by the roadside to be
garnered by the track cleaners Of the neigh
borhood.-New York Times.

An Awkward Incident,

Miss Sophie Eyre, the actress, was
once made the victim of a very awk-
ward incident through the too literal
translation of an order by a new
maid she had engaged.
She was to appear in a new piece
entitled I'm His Power" and had.
as is usual with modern actresses,
got some magnificent dresses for the
part she had to play. On the first
night, just before her initial en-
trance, she said to her new maid, as
she stood by the wings waiting for
her cue, BE sure to hold my train
up so that it will not sweep the
floor" The first dress, it may be
said, was very beautiful one.
The maid said, "All right
ma'am, " and Miss Eyre walked on
and, what is more, the maid did so
also, the latter holding up the &C
tress' train as she went Miss Eyre
had some serious lines to deliver, and
then had to make the circuit of the
stage, and, quite unknown to the &C
treSs, who could not understand the
apparent sensation among the au-
dlence, the maid followed her. The
audience fairly roared with laughter,
and that virtually killed the piece
at any rate for that night.

POliteneSs.

Politeness is a just medium be-
tween formality and rudeness. 1t is,
in fact, good nature regulated by
quick discernment which proper
tons itself to every situation and cv-
cry character. 1t is a restraint laid
by reason and benevolence on every
irregularity of temper, of appetite
and passion. 1t accommodates itself
to the laws of custom and fashion as
long as they are not inconsistent
with the higher obligations of virtue
and religion. York Ledger.

just begun their bridal Journey On
that afternoon the train left the track
and began to bump along the ties 1t
happened at that moment that the
newly made husband was walking
down the aisle of the car away from
the seat where his bride sat. He
knew that part of the railroad very
we'll, and he was terrified at having
the train leave the track there, for
they We're upon bend ON a steep
and lofty embankment With a
thought of nothing but the peril
which threatened the train he dashed
madly for the door. He was on the
platform already, careening and
wavering, and in another instant he
would have leaped, when, uncon-
sciously looking back at the danger
he was leaving, he saw his wife. In
stantly he turned and dashed back
into the car. He was just in the nick
of time to reach his wife, for already
the car was lettering.
Hold on for your life!" he cried
to her. "We are going headlong over
the bend"
He had fallen in the aisle at her
side, and clinging to the seat he held
his wife.

again, "for we are going overW
And they did go over several times,
and though the bridal couple were
cut and bruised terribly they were
more fortunate than many others,
for the death list after that wreck
was long one.
But my husband" she said in
telling the story, could not seem to
forgive himself for having forgotten
me for a second, while I could I'M
derstand it perfectly. He WASH used
to looking after wife, and if you
want to know the truth, she added,
with a smile, II was glad that it all
happened as it did, for I don't believe
that any man who was caught in
danger with his wife would desert
her, but it takes q brave man who
has got out Of danger to go deliber-
ate1y back into it. He knew that
danger better than any one else in
the car, suppose, and he must have
felt that we were both lost. Yet he
came back to me, and that was how

was also brave. New York Trib-
