Evolution Of the Whistle.

When locomotives were first built
and began to trundle their small loads
up and down the newly aud rudely
constructed railways of England the
public roads were, for the greatest part,
crossed at grade aud the engine driv-
or had no way of giving warning Of
his approach except by blowing tin
horn but this as may be imagined,
was far from being a sufficient warn
ing. One day in the year of 1888, SO
runs story of the origin OF the loco
motive whistle, farmer of Thornton
was crossing the railway track on one
of the country roads with a great load
of eggs and butter.
Just as he came out upon the track
a train approached. The engineman
blew his tin horn Justify, but the
farmer did not hear it. Eighty dozen
Of eggs and fifty pounds OF butter were
smashed into an indistinguishablo I'M
pleasant mass and mingled with the
kindhng wood to which the wagon
was reduced.
The railway company had to pay
the farmer for fifty pounds OF butter,
his $50 eggs, his horse, and his wagon.
1t was regarded as serious matter
aud straightway = director of the
company went to Alton Grange where
George Stephenson lived to know il
he could invent something that would
give a warning more likely to be
heard. Stephenson went to work and
the next day had contrivance which,
when attached to the engine boiler
and the steam turned on, gave out a
shrill discordAnt sound. The railway
directors, greatly delighted, ordered
similar contrivances to be attached to
all the locomotives, and from that day
to this the voice of the locomotive
whistle has never been silent. Gas.

DOGS AND wooDcHUcE.

A correspondent sends to the
Youths Companion from Paris, Me.
an entertaining story of three dogs
and a woodchuck.

woodchuck-hunter. In the course of
one season, when woodchucks we're
unusually numerous and troublesome,
Sport caught twenty-five by actual
count.
zone day in June, when I was hoe
ing corn, I heard a good deal of bark
ing in an adjoining field, and knew
pretty well what must be going on.
On my way to the cornfeld after din
ner, therefore, I went across lots to
see what Sport was about, aud to help
him bit, if need be, by removing a
stone or two from the wall in which
the quarry had taken refuge.
"a chorus of excited yelps and
barks guided me to the spot, and as
drew near I SOW that Sport had plenty
of help. Zip, neighbours dog, wa,
on one side Of the wall with him, ant
on tie other side was Rover, a larg,
hound.
"All thlee dogs had their noses nm

DahIonega Mlnt Gold Coins.

Five rare coins we're received at the

small allotment of the recently issued
four percent bonds They are flve-
dollar gold pieces dated from 1912 to
1S47, and are stamped with I'D, "
the mark of the old DaAlonega mius
in Georgia. This mint was seized by
the Confederatos at the outbreak
the war in 1861, and gold coin to the
amount of $4,000 was confscated.
The Eve pieces were bright and new,
Of full standard weight, showing no
sign of wear or abrasion. They prob
ably never have been in general cir
culation. 1t is possible they formed
part of the gold eonfscated by the
Confederates in 1861. Although the

up O claim for the woodchuck.

GREAT GRANDPARENTS "REMINISCENCES
"When hear you children talk 50
much about the wonders Of the kline
toscope, the horseless carriage and the
y rays, remarked a certain great
grandmamma the other day, II can't
help but think of the many years ago
when was little girl and news came
to us one day that somebody had in-
vented q new sort of wagon that in-
stead of being drawn by horses or
mules or oxen ran oil. by itself OF
course it sounded like fairy story,
just as if they had told me that the
magic carpet in the Arabian Nights
had been suddenly discovered rolled
away in somebody's attic, but we we're
assured that it was really true. There
was something about steam connected
with the mysterious carriage ; it either
ran by it, or under it or with it, or
something, we weren't quite sure
which. When they explained it to us
children, people always added It's
upon the same principle as the tea
kettle, you know, and although we
didn't know in the least what the
principle was, we did know what a
tea kettle was and wo accordingly
pictured to ourselves a freakish vehicle
shaped like q tea kettle, spout, handle
and all, from which issued a white
banner of steam, and which sung
upon occasion.
In what part of this new wagon peo-
pie were to ride we didn't under
stand, but supposed that they were
slowed away inside somewhere, like
the Greek soldiers in tho wooden horse
that our history book had made so
familiar to us. Just how the strange
carriage upon the same principle as
the tea kettle was able to move we
we're totally unaware. Tea Kettles
never moved; they stood still in one
place upon the stove where they we're
put. It took q good stretch OF the
imagination to fancy them or any
thing like them galloping along much
faster than anybody could walk
faster, indeed, it was said, than {
horse could CO. The grown-ups said
that there we're narrow rails upon
which the strange carriage run, where
upon We pictured all our country
roads and lanes ornamented with these
things. It all sounded very impracti-
cal to us, however, as it did to many
Of the grown-ups for that matter.
