Training a Locomotive,

It may not be generally known that locomotives intended for express trains require as much training, ill their way, for fast running as do race horses. The Pennsylvania Railroad company builds its own engines, and those built for ex- press trains are known as class F. They are very large and built, with slight va riations, after the pattern of the big English engine imported into this coun- try several years ago, and which at that time was a curiosity in its way. When one of these big engines is taken out of the shops to be placed on the road, in- stead of putting it to the work it is in- tended for at once it is run for two or three weeks on some one of the local branches in order to train it, so to speak, for faster running. By this means all the bearings and journals connected with the running gear become settled to their work, for should anything about the new machine not work harmonious ly there is ample time to adjust the de- feet. Usually the new engine proves troublesome on account of it's propensity to make fast time, and at almost every station the train is found to be little ahead of schedule time and must wait for from ten seconds to minute.

How to Make q New Face.

Skin removing for beautifying pur poses is having a great vogue among the women who can afford It. At present the price for making over the face of a woman under 50 is $50. An older sub ject who is greatly wrinkled has to pay $10O. The operation confines one to her room for five days and is somewhat painful, but not unbearably so, as the skin removing paste contains cocaine to numb the surface it rests upon. An odd thing is that if you have your wrinkles removed before you are really an old woman they will come again as you ad- vance to the wrinkled age, but if you have them removed after you are as wrinkled as you are ever likely to be they do not return. And danger of the operation, so far as its complete success goes, is that you will move your face while the paste is getting in its deadly work. If you do, wrinkle forms and cannot be got rid of. Liter ally you must bear the pain with an ab- solutely placid countenance. Even a grin is detrimental = Philadelphia Times.

Cyrus Field as . Host.

Happening to be visitor in the Washington building recently and pass ing the old office of Cyrus Field recall ed the day the house was opened to the public. Mir. Field was extremely proud of it. He had invited 200 or 800 friends to banquet on the roof and stood at the open hatchway to welcome all who came. It was late when up walked a man of middle age who had never seen Cyrus Field in his life and had not only not received an invitation to the ban- quet, but knew nothing about such an affair. He was merely looking around the building.
 "You are just the man we all are waiting for," said MT. Field, holding out his hand with a merry laugh. "Come right along. The feast is ready. !"
 Before the man could ask for an ex- planation the host had hurried him along to one of the most conspicuous seats at the board and ordered the best in the house for him. He had knack of making every one feel perfectly at home. His end was very pitiful New York Press

MAKING TOYS.
The Art Descending From One Generation
 to Another In St. Ulrich.

The Art Descending From One Generation
 to Another In St. Ulrich.
 Miss Amelia B. Edwards, in her "Un- trodden Peaks" mentions many an in teresting visit to the homes of the work ing people of St. Ulrich, where. so many toys are made.
 In one house, runs the account, we found an old, old woman at work, Mag dalena Paldauf by name. She carved cats, dogs, wolves, sheep, goats and ele- phants. She has made those six animals her whole life long, and she has no idea of how to cut anything else. She makes them in two sizes, and she turns out as nearly as possible thousand of them 8 year.
 She has no model or drawing of any kind to work by, but goes on steadily, unerringly, using gouges of different sizes and shaping out her cats, dogs, wolves, sheep, goats and elephants with an ease and an amount of truth to na- ture that would be clever if it were not utterly mechanical Magdalena Paldauf learned from her mother how to carve those six animals, and her mother had learned, in like manner, from her grand mother. Magdalena has now taught the art to her own granddaughter, and SO it will go on being transmitted for gener- ations.
 In another house Miss Edwards found the whole family carving skulls and crossbones for fixing at the bases of crucifxes, for the wood carving of Grod- ner Thal is religious in its nature as well as amusing. In other houses there were families that carved rocking horses or dolls or other toys, and in still other houses there were families of painters
 In one house we found about a dog. en girls painting gray horses with black points. In another house they painted only red horses with white points. It is separate branch of the trade to paint saddles and headgear. A good hand will paint 12 dozen horses day, each horse being about a foot in length, and fol these she is paid 55 soldi, or about 2s.

HOMEMADE TRUNKS.
The Scheme of Chicago Man to Beat the
 Railroads on Baggage.


 Railroads on Baggage. + A caller dropped into the Brightside flat and found Mr. and Mrs. Brightside and their wise little terrier, Ming, all assa nbled in the kitchen. MT. Bright side was busy boring holes with an au ger in the end of good sized packing box, while Mrs. Brightside and the dog, seated side by side on the floor, regard ed him with intense though possibly hypocritical admiration. Near by stood another packing box with four holes in each end, through which loops of strong rope had been so fastened as to make good, serviceable handles.
 "This is about the greatest crisis of my life," observed MT. Brightside. 'tHow do you suppose got that rope in without opening the box? Just figure on it now. !"
 As the caller belongs to the sex which has never produced great epic poem, discovered continent or voted for the governor of Illinois, she gave up the problem with cheerful lneekness born of centuries of acknowledged incapaci- ty. MT. Brightside, having finished bor ing, produced bent wire and piece of string, one end of which was fasten- ed to few feet of rope. With the wire he proceeded to insert the string into one hole and wiggle it cut another. By means of the string the rope was then lowed into position, the whole process ending triumphantly in another pair of handles.
 But what are you doing it for?''
 "He's making trunks" explained Mrs. Brightside. "It's his latest spe cialty."
 "The only trouble with me, said MT. Brightside. with apparent irrelevance, "is that I'm lazy"
 "But what on top of the prairie are you making trunks out of backing boxes for? Cui bono, you know" gro save freight. I'm sending them to friend in Wisconsin, you see. I've got some other friends starting out there tonight, and if these things have han dles on they can take them as baggage | Otherwise the railway company won t | let them. Can your female mind assim- ilate that fact? Taking it by and large, " he added modestly, "it's a beautiful | piece of work.
 The caller joined the intent audience on the floor and contemplated MT. Brightside with wonder, love and praise. It was pleasing to find any one clever | enough to get ahead of a railroad com | pany.-Chicago Tribune.

Ancient Ropes.

While conducting series of tests with 100 ton testing machine at the Yorkshire college in England, which in- cluded the testing of a steel wire rope, Professor Goodman stated that such ropes were not a modern invention, and that he had recently seen bronze wire rope one-hah inch in diameter and from 20 to 80 feet long, which had been found buried in the ruins of Pompeii, and which must have been at least 1 BOO years old Philadelphia Ledger.

WHY IS I'll

Some find work where some find rest And SO the weary world goes on. I sometimes wonder which Is best. The answer comes when life is gone. Some eyes sleep when some eyes wake, And SO the dreary night hours go. Some hearts beat where some hearts break. often wonder why 'tis so. Some will faint where some will fight; Some love the tent and some the field. often wonder who are right The ones who strive or those who yield. Some hands fold where other hands Are lifted bravely in the strife, And so through ages and through lands Move on the two extremes of life. Some feet halt where some feet tread In tireless march ( thorny way; Some struggle on where some have fed; Some seek when others shun the fray. Some swords rust where others clash; Some fall back where some move on; Some flags furl where others flash Until the battle has been won. Some sleep on while others keep
 The vigils of the true and brave. They will not rest till roses creep Around their names above a grave.

The Fate of Mana sahib.

All historians leave in doubt the fate of Mana Sahib, leader of the Indian mutiny. He was never seen after the battle of Singapore. Yet Captain Will liam Brown of San Francisco, after 40 years, gives details of the death of Mana and the burial of his ashes in the Ganges.
 Brown commanded the Ganges fleet and his vessel, the Benares, was attack ed by Mana and large force. Brown shot Mana and beat of the sepoys with loss of 23 men. When the battle was over, he descended to his cabin and was amazed to find there Mana Sahib dying and his mistress Loma, both of whom he knew personally. At the height of the mutiny this woman had come to him as an emissary from Mana and of- fered him a large sum to desert to the native cause. At that time he promised Mana if the rebel leader fell into his hands he would give him his freedom, or if dead, he would bestow proper fune- ral honors upon his corpse. Mana now reminded Brown of this promise and soon expired.
 That night the body was taken. to the shore by Brown and burned. The only witnesses were Browns servants, Ameer and Loma. When the fire blazed up, Loma threw herself upon it and was burned with the man she loved. That same night the ashes of Mana were taken to point where the Gondra meets the Gapges, and were buried in the holy waters.
 Captain Brown has documents sub- stantiating this story, which was never made public. The commonly received impression has been that Mana commit ted suissds. --St Louis Globe. Democrat

HOW HE WORKED A MINE.

The Sheep Mountaineer EnIiEhtens the
 College Bred Inquirer.
 "How do we work miner" exclaim- ed the Sheep mountaineer. "Well, you unsophisticated, undeveloped outcrop- ping of the land of the rising sun, I'll proceed to enlighten your beclouded col. lege bred understanding.
 The college bred young man from the land of the rising sun sat down on a $500 to the ton chunk of ore and turned his undivided attention to listening to 8 discourse on mineralogy.
 "We first prospect around until we find tunnel in on the jugular vein and a pile of ore on the dump. Then if the other feller ain't looking we jump. Then we proceed to sink shaft on the float, gather all the gangue and sack it, being careful to preserve technical phrases in mineralogical science in so doing. Then we prospect the stockholders with an as- sessment, and if they don't come down put in blast. At this point we call the roll, grab No. warranted not to rip, wear, tear, ravel, cut or run down at the heel ragical, tragical, irrasive smelt- CT and run up our stack If the other feller holds the best hand, the stack will diminish, and we consequently drift for pay streak. If we don't get through drifting by fall, it's the fust thing we go at in the spring. We now concentrate our efforts, and if the silver banned out don't have the eagle stamp ed on it we sample the ontcropping in every saloon within radius of ten miles and take fresh chew of tobac- co. Then we get to work in earnest, salt the dump and go east and sell all the stock we can We return, renew our grub pile, pack it into the cabin and wait for spring to open and the snow to go of. During this period we amuse ourselves playing seven up for the drinks. We then import mining and civil engineer, run few levels, cross cut for another assessment, get it, cave in the shaft and abandon the property. Them The Sheep mountaineer paused for moment to catch his breath, but the moment was fatal to his learned dis course, for the college bred young man from the land of the rising sun feebly reached for his pick, staggered slowly to his feet, looked wildly through the limpid atmosphere toward the summit of Sheep mountain and disappeared be- hind the giant outcroppings of the Big Eliza lode.
