The Past Obliterated.

George Hunter, aged 10 years. has re-
sided in this city since his birth. Today
he has no idea as to where is located the
house in which he was born. He does
not know where to find the house in
which he resided a year ago, shortly be-
fore he entered Oakland hospital. The
young man has lost his memory, and the
past to him is as il he had just been
born. The loss of memory is due to an
injury sustained by being struck by a
heavy piece of iron which was thrown
by a stationary engine. The skull was
fractured, and a large part Of it was
pressed upon the brain. Hunter survived
the operation, and although he is still in
an unfortunate condition, his physicians
seem to think he will eventually regain
his faculty of memory.-San Francisco
Chronicle.

A Terrible Race ON the Union Pacific O.
Save a Trainload Of Passengers.
The Union Pacific fast mail had a mar
row escape one night recently on the
Wyoming division from being crashed
into by a runaway freight. The fast
mail was booming along near Simpson
and following it was a heavy freight
train in charge of Engineer Sadowsky.
Striking a heavy grade there the freight
gave a lurch forward and Sadowsky.
who is a new engineer, lost control OF
the engine. In q few minutes he saw
the lights of the rear of the mail and
fearing a collision jumped from the en-.
zine, followed by the fireman.
The conductor and brakemen, realiz'
ing that something was wrong, began
applying the brakes. The operator at
small station, when the two trains dashed
by, saw that the engine was running
away and telegraphed the fact to Medi
cine Bow. When the fast mail stopped
there to register. the operator rushed out
and told of the runaway train.
Engineer Wright. with great presencs
of mind, sprang for his engine and
opened the throttle wide, and there en-
sued a mad race. which for q time threat
ened to end in frightful tragedy. Con
ductor Rapp of the freight finally man
aged to crawl over into the engine ant
soon brought the runaway to a stop. ant
by his prompt action prevented wha
would have been an awful wreck.

Playing Cards.

The Chinese, who, according to their
histories, invented everything before
anybody else, claim the merit of having
first designed playing cards and devel-
oped the games arising out Of them. The
Emperor Soun-Ho had many wives, who
naturally found time hanging heavily on
their hands, 80 the emperor devised
amusement for them by inventing cards
that's If we are to put any belief in the
words Of the Chinese historians. There
were 80 cards in each Of his packs-three
suits of nine each and three extra or SD.
perior cards. The Chinese cards were
oblong as ours are, while those of the
Hindoos were round.
Surprising though it may seem, it il
nevertheless true that the queen in on
suits is a comparatively modern innoya
tion. The picture cards were at frs
entirely military-king, knight and
knave. The Italians were the first. it j

But One SNUFF Taking Senator.

Many years ago, when the now n
able Captain Bassett of the senate was a
youth, he was directed to place q snuff
box in each Of the small recesses of the
rear wall of the chamber to the right
and left of the vice president and TO
keep them filled for the Clays, Websters
and other senators of the old school who
were habitual snuff takers. The snuff
boxes remain as a reminder Of the times
and habits Of senators who made his

who uses snuff.-Detroit Free Press

NORTH STRATFORD SAVED
When ii Looked as il Fire Would Wipe il
Gut.

NORTH SrRATFoRD, N. H., Nov. 2.-The
most disastrous fire that ever occurred in
this place broke out at about 5 o'clock in
the stable Of Matthew Donohue. 1t is not
known how it started, but probably from a
pipe. The flames quickly spread to the
Hinman house, which was quickly con-
sumed, together with all the barns and
outbuildings. From there the fire
branched out in two directions
consuming the store and storehouses of
Pattee and Clark, the store of IL. B. Hin
man, the building containing Hartwelrs
store. Forcott's barber shop and knights of
Pytbias hall went next, close followed by
the Twohey block occupied by Kane's' bar
Der shop and DR.. Brewster, the dwelling
house of David Donahue, and nearly a
dozen stables, storehouses, ETC., were also
burned.
The fire is serious blow to the town
and the loss is heavy. Pattee and Clark
are the heaviest losers and their loss is only
partially covered by insurance. They had
recently put in five or six hundred barrels
of flour and large amount of other goods.
The postofiice was located in this building,
but Mr.. Pattee, the postmaster,
succeeded in saving most of
the property. Only by the greatest effort
was the town saved from total destruction.
The Willard house took fire several times
but an engine arrived from Island Pond in
season to save it,. John C.. Hutchins' store
took fire but was saved. The total number
of buildings burned, including barns, etc,
was l6. Loss about S35 600. About two
thirds covered by insurance.

LARGE ATTENDANCE
And Very lniere es'ing txerci.es by Western
Somerset Teachers.

FAIRFIELD, Nov. 2.-(SpeciaD There
was even larger attendance, today, than
yesterday, at the meeting of the Western
Somerset Teachers convention. Numbers
however, thinned out at the afternoon ses.
sion, quite number leaving for home on
the afternoon train.
DR.. A. f. Farnham of Fairfield opened
the programme this forenoon with recita-
ton which was splendidly given and warmly
received. A paper, "a Rural School," by
Miss Addie Cleveland of Skowhegan, was
interesting. The paper, "Moral Instruc-
tion," by Hon. N. A. Luce, was, of course,
practical thing, the result of the
reasoning of practical man. The
teaching exercises Electricity" by Mrs.
A. X. Lewis of Fairfield, was one of the
most interesting papers of the. whole con-
vention. Prof. Philbrook of the Castine
Normal school gave paper on the sub
ject, Advanced Geography" which was
filled with excellent IDEAS and was the re-
suit of vast amount of thought and rea-
soning.
In the afternoon DR.. Farnham read a
very interesting and instructive paper on,
"School Hygiene" a subject which receives
too little attention in many school rooms.
President Whitman of Colby gave an ad-
dress on 1.-THE Duty of Teachers of Phi
mary Grades" which was interesting and
commanded the attention of every person
in the audience for every moment which
was occupied in the delivery.
