In the Cab of a Fast Locomotive.

The locomotive engineer is a remark
ably placid fellow, with a habit of de-
liberate precision in his look and mo-
tions. He occasionally turns calm eye
to his gauges and then resumes his quiet
watch ahead. The three levers which
he has to manipulate are under his hand
ready for instant use, and when they arc
used it is quietly and in order, as an
organist pulls out his stops. The noise
in the cab makes conversation difficult,
but is not as bad as that heard in car
when passing another train, with or
without the windows open, and in look
ing out of the engine cab the objects are
approached gradually, not rushed past
us when one looks laterally out of a par
lor car window. The fact is the engineer
does not look at the side-he is looking
ahead-ard therefore the speed seems
less as the objects are approached grad
ually.
Those who have ridden at 80 miles an
hour ON a locomotive know that on a
good road, and there are many such, the
engine is not "shaken and swayed in a
terrific manner, but is rather comfort
able, and the speed is not SO apparent as
when one is riding in parlor car, where
only lateral view is had. The engineer
can be very comfortable if be is quite
sure Of the track ahead, and it is only
in rounding curves OF in approaching
crossings that he feels nervous, and it is
doubtful il it is any more strain to run
locomotive at high speed than to ride
bicycle through crowded thorough
fares. Judging by the countenances of
the bicycle rider and the engineer, the
engineer has rather the best Of it

Eugene and the Prince.

The little prince was spoiled to excess
BY his father. His mother naturally
wished to counterbalance the latter's
overindalgence, but she was not always
iudicious in her energetic interference.
One instance may be quoted among
many: The very first time that the little
prince, q mere baby between and 4
years old, was seated on pony, the
equerry, NJ. Bachon, was carefully hold
ing him and leading the pony step by
step, when suddenly the empress came
up, Indignantly declaring that she would
not have such absurd petting and con-
cluding by giving cut Of her whip to
the pony, which started off. Bachon,
terrified, uttered an energetic expletive,
succeeded in stopping the pony, and
brought back the child unhurt, but he
was too angry to remember official de-
corum and expressed his feelings with
an amount of vigor very unusual in
courts, while the English nurse INDUCED
in more respectful lamentations: ooh,
your majesty! You shouldn't, your
majesty! You've only one, you know. u
1t is evident that the empress in nc
way intended to risk the life Of her
child, but she was herself fearless to ex-
cess and often thoughtless in the pres
ence of danger. She was determined
that her son should not be milksop,
and she did. not stop to examine the

Observation-Disclosures.

In Jamieson's Scottish dictionary, s.
", the definition given is "folding
knife, =" while there is another legend Of
James vi to the effect that, after going
to London, he one day puzzled his court
iers by saying to stable boy, "Cal-
Ian, hae, there's thretty pennies, gae
wa and buy me jockteleg," etc. 1t is
further stated. on the authority Of
Grose's Provincial Glossary" that
"Liege formerly supplied Scotland with
cutlery" "Jocktaleg" is Allan Ram
says spelling.
I think the following extract from
"Hanley Gross or, Mr.. Jorrocks' Hunt, "
first edition, page 400, will bear out
what Mr.. N. Newe says about "jockte-
leg' being what we, as boys, called a
"shut knife" "Sink ar's left mar
Jack-a-legs ahint," says Pigg, wanting
to cut off the fox's brush. 'Has ony on
ye getten knife?' The cart horsed
countryman has one, etc. Here "Jack-
alleys" is evidently ''Newcassel" for
the further Scotland "jockteleg "
I have always understood that this
word was supposed to be corruption
not of "John de Liege," but of Jacques
de Liege. II the north of England the
form used is "jackaleg, or locke
legs" The term is used for large
clasped pocketknife. Jamieson's die
tionary defines the word as being equiv
alent to folding knife.-Notes and

FARMER BROWN AND JUSTICE.

Good Farmer Brown in years long past
His lot beside a stream had cast.
And much good cash had he laid down
By selling chickens in the town.
Prime, plump and tender were they all
And brought him prices never small.
But sad to tell, there sometimes came
Wild floods that well deserved the name.
They carried off full many coop,
And thus ctlrtailed his chicken soup.
For many years he bore this well
Until at last worse luck befell.
So wild and high the waters ran
He found himself a chiclless man.
Angry at this was Brown indeed
And sought lawyer with all speed.
81 want to sue the state" said he.
Then danced the lawyers eyes with glee.
And, writing down the farmers name,
He said, "Well, sir, let's hear your claim.
With burning cheeks the farmer told
His losses from the waters cold,
Concluding, with an angry brow,
"Justice is what I'm after now."
"Justice!" the lawyer said in scorn,
"She died. my friend, ere you were born.
You say the water took your chicks:
Well, rivers often play those tricks"
"But come" continued Farmer Brown,
While deeper grew his wrathful frown.
"You must, / say, way provide
That may be indemnifed.
Somebody, now, I'm bound to sue,
To get again what Is my due"
The lawyer smiled, and said, "Oh, well,
Put up fifty and I'll tell
How you this trouble may elude
And ciYcumvent those waters rude"
The good man paid the fifty down.
For fair and square was Farmer Brown.
Then said the lawyer, with smile,
"My rule beats Justice by mile,''
And, with wink that rivaled Puck's,
He softly said, "My friend, raise ducksl"

And he came toward her, with eyes
aglow, never doubling that his own
passion would carry all before it. He
caught her slender wrist and kissed the

But she shrank away from him, while
her face grew crimson.

Then Raymond lost his head. He

seeing that she was i'll earnest, he opened
the door for her and stood meekly by

sion that the end of your story was, SO far as
I am concerned, incorrect Owing to the kind
ness of an old friend, my brother has obtained

tions, which you will doubtless understand,

cerely, GRACE RAMSAY.
Raymond Rose cast the letter upon
the floor and said bad words, cursing
in turns the various classes of typists,
brothers and "old friends. :" Then he
packed a portmanteau and went to
Switzerland for his long contemplated
change of air. He climbed the Matter

cerne, coming back after one months
travelling to his old rooms and to his old
comfortable ways, also to some old
