One evening they were seen in close

on plea of slight indisposltion and
went upstairs. Their father and
mother followed, and one was heard
to whisper that she found a whole
package of their fathers love letters,
and they would have an evenings fun
reading them. Safe in their room, the
letters were produced and the parents
watched to see the fun. Letter after
letter was opened, and every one was
written in shorthand. The joke was
too good to keep, and the corporal
himself told it.-Washington Star.

A Dog That Smokes.

John Winthrop. travelling man,
who resides in South Washington. is
the owner of Scotch terrier that has
the tobacco habit. MIR. Winthrop
has owned the dog ever since the ami
mails eyes were opened, and early IN
puppyhood the terrier was taught the
common trick of standing on its
launches in corner with pipe in
it's mouth. Instead of clay pipe
that had not been used. an old and
very strongly impregnated one, dis
carded by Mr.. Winthrop, was given to
the dog. At first he did not like it,
but soon contracted the habit, and 60
ing to the corner would bark until
given the pipe. Then tobacco was
put in and lit. The dog objected to
the smoke, but in few lessons was
not satisfied until the pipe was filled
and lighted. For the past year the
animal has smoked pipe every even
Jig and has grown fat on it. The dog
is smaller than the average of his
species, indicating that tobacco has
stunted his growth, but otherwise no
ill effects have been seen. Washing

ARSOkUTEEY PURE
Artificial Cotton.

Artificial cotton, says Paris jour
nal, resembles the natural product in
this, that both are formed,of cellulose,
nearly pure, and. as nature has pre-
pared cotton by means OF the elements
of the air and soil forming the cellu-
lose in fine 6bers by means of secret
forces, and Offering it in the state OF
wool to be transformed into what is
required Of it, so the chemist in his
laboratory takes the natural cellulose
of the tree and separates it from the
substances with which it is combined,
transforming it into threads by means
of suitable appliances, For this pur-
pose fir wood is employed, this being
submitted to series of mechanical
and chemical operations, and the
threads are drawn out, afterwards be-
ing rolled on bobbins; the material
when manufactured resembles ordin.
sry cotton, though having slight de-
feet, which can be easily corrected
that is, it is little less solid than
natural cotton. On the other hand,
however, the new substance is worked
and woven easily, it can be dyed as
readily as natural cotton, and, when
passed through a weak solution Of
tannin and certain other reagents it
will take every shade of artificial col.
ors, and can be dressed and printed
on just as are the tissues OF natural
cotton. 4.i5,54

No Longer u "tIhost'' Train.

The ssghost train" no longer runs
over the New York, New Haven and
Hartford road between Boston and
this city. It was one OF the fastest
and most completely equipped OF the
trains in the express service OF the
road. It was not known as the "ghost
train" by the railroad authorities, and
it is said that this uncanny name, be.
slowed upon it by passengers and resi-
dents along the line, had something
to do with its discontinuance.
The exterior of all the cars which
composed the train. from the express
car to the ordinary day coach, were
painted a solid dead white. Every
night train of these white cars pulled
into the Grand Central Station at nine
o'clock and at the same hour similar
train reached the Boston terminus.
To the railway authorities this service
was known as the "New England Ex-
press" but the long unbroken string
of white cars dashing through the
darkness, appearing almost like o
spectre, became known all along the
line as the "ghost train"
Nothing was thought Of this appel.
lation at first, though the management
is said to have not particularly relished
it. Sensitive persons, however, OBJ.
jected to riding upon the train, and it
was abandoned. The cars were sent
to the shops and painted a different
color and are still in use on the road.
The reason for the change, according
to the railroad officials, is that it was
almost impossible to keep the white
cars clean. New York Herald.
