THE OLD LADY KNEW TALL.

A traveller once put up for the night
with supplemented old couple in q
lonely farm house. AS he rode up to
the door he heard the old woman say,
in a tone of deep conviction:
'Therel | knowed somebody'd come
before night, for dropped my fork ON
the floor, this morning, and 1t stuck
straight up. Then dropped the dish
cloth at noon-another sure sign of
company
In entering the house the visitor
carelessly struck his foot against the
step, and came near falling.
"AhH' said the old lady, quickly,
which toe did you stub the right or
the left?''
The right" was the reply.
That's good it's a sure sign you're
going where you are wanted. Pa,
shoe that rooster off the fence. If he
crows there it will rain before morn
ing"
"A little boy ran into the room, cry
ing out:
"Oh, grandma, lookl Here's a cop
per found in the road"
I'm not at all surprised. Don't
you remember, Tommy, that you
dreamed of finding nest of hen eggs
last night? told you then that you
would find some money before q
week"
A young woman was washing on a
porch back of the house, and the old
lady cried OUT
There, there Susan, if you haven't
splashed soapsuds all over the front
of your dress! And if you don't get
drunken husband for it I'm wonder
fully mistaken. I've known that sign
to come true often, and often. But
you can keep it from coming true by
hanging all the clothes on the line
wrongside out, and You'd better do
it,"
So Susan did las the traveller noticed
to his great amusement.

MY BROTHER.

Two well-dressed men were walking
down Broadway, New York, at mid
night. Directly in front of them was
man shabbily dressed, and with n
look of hunger and desperation on his
face
AS the three passed before a brilliant
ly lighted restaurant. one of the two
gentlemen behind said to the other,
'Did you catch glimpse Of that mans

pierced the pier flooring. and, with a
gesture of despair, stepped toward the
edge of the pier, and looked down in
to the water.
Then he Strengthened up, anu in
another moment would have flung
himself over into the river; but one of
the men who had been standing in the
shadow of warehouse, called out, in
a quiet, but firm voice, MY brother,

At the words MY brother" the
man trembled, stepped back, covered
his face with his hands, and stagger
ing against the pile burst into sobs SO
awful that the man who had taken it
upon himself to rescue this soul from
death could not say another word

Finally he learned, in broken ejacu-

HEROISM ON THE MINNESOTA
RAILROADS

The tales of heroism that have been
reported from the scene of death
and destruction in Minnesota may
well quicken our sense of the noble
possibilities of human nature. Where
SO many men were brave and self-sac-
rificing, it would not be possible to
make any list of heroes. But particu-
lar praise is due to the railroad men
whose trains rescued hundreds of peo-
Pile, and whose splendid courage alone
prevented the doubling of the list of
the dead. Conductor Sullivan and
Engineer Root, in charge of the regu
lar passenger train on the st. Paul &
Duluth road that reached Hinckley at
the very moment when the whole
neighborhood was enveloped in flames,
did not back their train away from
the doomed town until they had load
ed it with hundreds of fleeing inhabi-
tants. The train was on fire from one
end to the other, but Engineer Root,
sustained by his brave fireman, ran
the train backward several miles to
swamp, where the passengers took re-
fuge in the foul and shallow water,
while the dense forest all around them
roared and cracked under the tremen-
dous confiagration, and the train on
the track before them was totally con-
sumed. They remained in the water
for many hours and were subsequent
ly rescued by aid from Duluth and
Superior The Eastern Minnesota
railroad also touches Hinckley, and
the passenger train ON that line reach
ed the burning town at about the
same time with the train on the ST.
Paul & Duluth road. Powers and
Best, the conductor and engineer of
the Eastern Minnesota train, showed
the same firmness, courage and high
sense of fidelity to duty that the train
men on the other road were display
ing at the same time. Needless of all
protests they held their train until all
who sought refuge on it had been
packed into the cars, and then they
coolly proceeded to take the chances
upon their only means of escape. In
one direction the road was completely
blocked. In the other direction it
was necessary to cross the Kettle river
bridge, lis feet high and 1,G00 feet
long. The bridge was already burn
ing fiercely, but Engineer Best drove
mis- train with its hundreds of passen-
gers safely across the chasm. The
kind of manhood that is capable of
such deeds is one of the best posses
sions of any nation.-ReUie1c Of Re

INA DUTCH PRISON.

A prison in Holland is rather an EN-
Enlistment than Disagreement to a
town, at least such is the fine new
penitentiary at Leeuwarden, one of
the most famous prisons in Holland,
and a model of It's kind. 1t is COM
pletely built of stone, brick and iron,
consequently fire-proof; staircases,
halls, and workshops are built with
mathemtical precision and in such
manner as to permit of constant sur
VIGILANCE. The yards are large and
spacious, all the rooms whitewashed
from top to bottom and we'll ventilat-
ed, he inner and outer walls even bear
ing witness to the proverbial Dutch
cleanliness. The steps and passages
are equally clean, and you would look
in vain for a soiled spot or grain of
dust. Not cracked or furnished
pane of glass can be found in the
whole building. Everything is wash
ed, brushed, and waxed with a care
we might well envy in many of our
American homes The dormitories
are regularly scrubbed every day and
we'll ventilated. Their aspect is how
ever, curious. Each consists of
large, whitewashed, asphalt-foored
room, in the centre of which is an i'm
mense iron-trellised cage, armed on
the inside with spikes. This cage is
divided into one hundred cells, each,
separated by sheet-iron walls each
has its bed, consisting of thin mat
tress, a pillow, a pair of sheets of coarse
texture, and two coverlets. Each
night the prisoners are locked in these
narrow cells, and thus repose perfectly
isolated from each other All around
the dormitory run iron water-pipes,
with taps fixed at intervals, at which
the convicts are supposed to perform
their additions Water is general
throughout the whole prison, and is
to be met with on each story. Baths,
which the prisoners are compelled to
make use Of at stated times, are on
the ground floor. The prisoners have
three meals per day. In the morning,
lukewarm milk and water and piece
of dry dread at midday, a soup COM
posed of vegetables in the evening,
coffee and brown bread. Sometimes
they are allowed small quantity
of beef, but more often bacon. The
prisoners, however, can improve upon
this food by the money they earn
They have, in fact, a small interest in
their work, one-sixth OF which is at
their disposal, the balance being very
properly capitalized and handed
to them on their dismissal. Every
thing is conducted with military dis
cipline in Il Dutch prison, which al
lows neither of ill-will nor question.
The dungeons, kind of subterranean
cells, are for the unruly, and irons for
the mutinous. No conversation is al
lowed between the prisoners during
hours Of work. Perfect order prevails,
as rule, and attempts at escape are
events unknown.

SHAMEFUL PEPPER ADULTERA-
TION

The pepper of commerce is furnish
ed by the Piper nigrum, or black pep
per plant, which grows in the East
and West Indies. There are two
varieties of pepper, known as "black'
and white" pepper; both are obtain
ed from the same plant. Black ground
pepper is the entire berry of the plant
reduced to powder, while the white
pepper consists of the same berry de-
corticated or deprived of its outer
black husk or covering. The consum-
er of pepper can be accommodated
with an article adulterated to any e1-
tent from ten to ninety per cent, and
if he prefers to do his own adultera-
ton, a New York manufacturer of
spice mixtures" will supply him with
the requisite material, while another
New York house will make goods to
order for wholesale grocers and drug
gists' and furnish "spice mixtures.
From inquiry among the trade in this
city it would seem that the pepper
can be furnished at from two
to five cents per pound, while pure
will cost about eighteen cents
per pound. The United States agri-
cultural department chemist found
bran, roasted shells, corn, cracker
dust, charcoal and fibrous matter in
of pepper.

Upon the hills the wind is sharp and cold,
The sweet young grasses wither on the void
And we, . Lord, have wandered from Thy
fold,
But evening brings us home.
Among the mists we stumbled, and the rocks
Where the brown lichen whitens, and the fox
Watches the straggler from the scattered flocks
But evening brings us homo.
The sharp thorns prick us, and our tender feet
Are cut and bleeding and the lambs repeat
Their pitiful com plaints.-oh, rest is sweet,
When evening brings us home.
We have been wounded by the hunters darts.
Our eyes are very heavy, and our hearts
Search for Thy coming,-when the light de-
parts
At evening, bring us home.
The darkness gathers. Through the gloom no
star
Rises to guide us. We have wandered far.
Without Thy lamp we know not where we are.
AT evening bring us home.
The clouds are round us, and the snowdrifts
thicken,
o Thou, dear Shepard, leave us not to scken
In the waste neighbour tardy footsteps quick
