PUTNEY.
A serIous Rnllroad Accident.

Cornelius f. Crowley, Familiarity known
as Con- was seriously injured in rail
road accident Tuesday afternoon. He
crossed the river Tuesday morning and
asked Ferryman Webber for a team, stat
ing that he wanted to drive to West Ches-
terrified. Mr.. Weber let him have a boat
instead and did not see him again until
noon, when he was left at the house by
Robert Chickering of Westmoreland. After
dinner, of which econ" partook, Mr..
Weber rowed him across the river and
left him near the culvert. He went up the
bank and dropped down on a pile of gravel
on the west side of the track, his feet
pointing toward the rail, and, it is sup
posed, went to sleep in that position.
When the 80 White Mountain express
came around the bend Engineer Blake saw
him and whistled for the air brakes, which
were Immediately set and the train slid for
its entire length. When the train stopped
"Con" was found underneath the baggage
car, having been dragged the length of a
car. How he could ever have gotten under
the train without being killed outright is
mystery. AS it was, one wheel passed over
his right foot diagonally from the middle
of the inside to the little toe, crushing the
latter so that it had to be amputated.
1ueIe was dlSo SudSUly scalp WOuhu, lay
ing bare the skull from front to back, be-
sides severe bruises the whole length of
the right side of the body. He was put
into the baggage car and brought to the
station and Drs. Foster, Munger and
Wheat were summoned. His wounds were
dressed at the home of his brother, Daniel
Crowley, where he now lies as comfortable
as the severe pain will permit. Twice be-
fore have trains stopped to remove him
from the track. He is a willing laborer
and is preferred by many on account of his
excellent judgment Expressions of SYM
pathy for his injury and regret for his
habit are heard from many sources.

Rees Do Differently Here.

In America it has been observed that
bees often bore tubular corollas in
order TO get at the nectar of flowers,
instead of entering by the mouth, as
humble bees do in Europe. In essays
on the cross fertilization Of flowers this
supposed anomaly has been the subject
Of much comment. IT. now appears
that the humble bees of Europe and
America have identical habits in regard
to the manner in which the visits to
flowers are made, and that it is the
class of insects known as the carpenter
bee, or the borer, which works in the
outside manner indicated.

The street accident she had earnestly
prayed for took place. A man had
broken his leg. She confscated the
walking-stick of a passer-by and broke
it in three pieces for splints. She tore
up her skirt for bandages. When all
was completed she summoned a cab
and took her patient to the hospital.
"Who bandagcd this limb so cred

WILES OF THE CARETAKER.
Her Interests Exactly the Opposite of
Those of the Real Estate Agent.


Caretakers of houses which are in the
market, either TO be sold or to be let,
regard, as q rule, every possible pur-
chaser or lessee as an enemy, says the
New York Sun. Ordinarily the only
compensation they get is the privilege
of living in the premises rent free.
Consequently, the sale or lease of the
house would result in their being
turned out of doors. The result is
that the intending purchaser will have
the bad points of the premises pointed
out in place Of being concealed, and
everything calculated to make him
think i'll of the house will be rendered
conspicuous. This is done adroitly
when the caretaker is a diplomatist,
and the announcement of the buildings
defects take the form of admissions APP
parently made with reluctance.
"Oh! yes, the furnace heats the en-
tire house nicely; that is, for people
warm" is the reply of caretaker, who
won't lose her only home if she can
help it, to reasonable question.
The water comes up to the top of
the house every day but Monday" said
another carctaker.
"Why doesn't it then?"
"Oh! it never does when it is being
used in the kitchen. You wash on
Monday, suppose?"
The now not intending purchaser
with difficulty now represses an incli-
nation to announce that he washes on
other days besides Mondays, as he
quits the house. When he is gone the
caretaker and her family return thanks
that they have roof over their heads
for another twenty-four hours, at least.

PICKING FLOWERS IN THE DARK.
A Proceeding That Is Attended with Some
Difficulty.

One of the biggest florist concerns in
the country, says the New York Mail
and Express, has its green houses in
Jersey City. They are surrounded by
a thickly crowded popu lation, and yet
even in the midst of winter, when flow
ers are worth almost their weight in
gold, the doors are never locked at
night.
Il should think you would find your
plants denuded the first morning you
failed to lock up" said to the head of
the firm. He laughed.
Have you ever tried to pick flowers
in the dark?" he inquired. IF you
had you would know why we run no
risks
ut is very queer thing, but you
can go into a green house at night
even with a candle or lantern, such as
a thief would have to use, and although
the whole place is crowded with bios
SONS you cannot pick enough in three
hours to fill gill measure. / do not
know why it is, but it is fact, and one
easily susceptible of proof, if you are
inclined to be a doubling Thomas.
Only" he added, 81 would not advise
you to choose a rose house for the ex-
pertinent"

and liberal cash premiums at the ex-
hibitions of their country, still further
Development may be looked for. The
stately pout}r cock in the engraving
was skctched from a winning bird
shown in England by the well-known
Scotchman and writer on pigeons,
Robert Fulton. These birds have in
their show cages a pedestal on which
to stand that they may pose erect, this
being the ideal carriage for po,iters,
rs the length of their tails prevents
the bird from standing straight when
shown on the floor of the show cage.
Length and slenderness of girth are
properties quite as much looked for in
these birds as Is the large, roundly-
inflated crop. The fullness in the back
of the crop in this pouter was point to
which Mr. Fulton especially called my
attention as being much coveted and
priced by fancicrs. These birds meas
urc from Is to 20 inches from top of
beak to tip of tail. The legs, also,
should be long-6 to 7 inches being
expected on good bird-and to stand
well up bird requires good length of
limb. 1t was my good fortune to see
the model of the portrait of the fan
tail, in the lofts OF his breeder, not
long before the expectation to this
country. The precaution which the
owner took in handling this specimen
while showing it to me was only
sample OF the great care taken by
British fanciers in rearing the birds
g., Il,
The way in which the show fantail is
picked up means almost as much for
the development of a well-formed and
well-carried tail as does the birds very
breeding. Not feather must be
twisted or displaced not movement
Of the head restrained--for the car
rage of these birds heads is valued
point if correct, and very offensive to
4 judge Of them if the bird is deficient
in this respect. | have seen these
birds SO proud and strutting, SO high
on tiptoe, that their gait, if SO 1t might
be called, was but dancing, and ap-
pGrcntly as many steps were taken
backward as forward, while scarcely
halfdozen. in succession were per-
formed either way. Their motion was
whirling and turning, backward and
forward, all the while sticking the
head and neck forward and backward
in nervous, strutting fashion, the
very picture of self-consciousncss and
pride. Such is the fantail as seen at
our best exhibitions of pigeons and
poultry. The sight of group is not
unlike that of bed of large white
lilies or tulips shaken by the wind
