After The recent death of President
Dowley Of the Vermont National bank
at Brattleboro, no memorandum OF the
combination to unlock one OF the COM
partments in one oft steel safes inside
the bank vault could be found. This
compartment contained the papers and
securities belonging to the Balester cs.
tate, and to reach them it was necessary
to remove the door. Herring & Co., of
New York, the makers OF the safe were
notified, and two expert workmen were
sent tn do the work, both of whom have
been with The concern for long terms of
years. They arrived at Bratleboro Sat
urday, Dec. o. and began work when the
bank closed in the afternoon. They
worked the greater part Of the night and
then began again, finishing at 2 O'Clock
Sunday morning. The door was com
posed of five steel plates which were re-
moved with remarkable skill and pre-
clslon. A new compartment door will be
built replacing the one taken off.

A CASE OF TELEPATHY.
One Lady Appeared In Vision at the
Time of Her Death.

Time OF Her DeaJn.
A gentleman took house in Irelant
for six months and was accompan' ii
thither by his wife and daughters. The
house was furnished and had plenty of
bedrooms. Therefore it was decided not
TO use certain large, long room with
cupboards along one side (Which had all
been locked and sealed up with tape) in
which things belonging to the owners
Of the house had been put away. One
evening one of the daughters, going to
her room, saw an old lady wrapped in q
shawl walking along the passage in
front of her. The old lady appeared 20
know her way and hurried on without
hesitation into the unused room. The
girl called her sister, and they followed
the dame into the room. But all was
silent. No one was there. The dust ~
ing about showed no signs of footprints.
Shortly after the same young lady
was reading on the hearth rug by fire.
light. Looking up, she beheld the old
lady standing i'll the doorway watching
her. Greatly frightened, she sprang up,
and, rushing down stairs, was found
fainting at the drawing room door. AT
last the family returned to Dublin. One
day when friend was calling the curl
GUS incident which have narrated was
referred to- The young lady very un-
willingly told her experiences. The WIS.,
itor seemed much struck and asked for
an accurate description of the old lady.
"For," said she, that house belonged
10 two old ladies, sisters, and when they
let their house they went to reside at
Geneva. One of them, answering exact
ly to the description you have given,
died at the time you saw her appear.

THE EDELWElSS MYTH.
1t Is Not Rare Plant, Nor Does 1t Grow
at Very Great Heights.

/
at Very Great Heights.
1t is commonly reported and Is no
less commonly believed by the inexperi-
enced tourist that edelweiss is a plant
which only grows in the most dangerous
and inaccessible situations. OF course
with it, as with any other Alpine plant,
this may now and then happen. But as
rule it is found on rough and rather
stony slopes of grass, the ordinary pas
ture OF sheep and goats at heights rang
ing from about 5000 to 5000 feet
above the sea level 1t is not often met
with below the former limit and seldom
above the latter. Once it could be
plucked-probably it has now been ex-
terminated-by the side of path a few
! hundred feet above Zermatt and within
half an hour of the hotels. 1t was abun-
dant, and no doubt still is, all about
the little inn at the Tosa falls, and it
may be picked in handfuls within a
couple of hours easy walk from the
baths Of San Bernardino That it is
great rarity is also an article of faith,
but this is another myth. 1t is doubt
/ less plant local rather than universal
in the Alps, but there are few districts
where it does not occur, often abundant
ly. What has caused it to be so priced
is difficult to understand. 1t is an ever
lasting, but that is almost equivalent to
| saying that it has no great beauty. The
plant attains height of about four
inches, having one or two flowers on a
stem. These are star shaped, few
pointed rays down covered, as if they
were cut out of pale gray velvet, sur
rounding two or three yellowish tufts.
The dry stem and narrow leaves are
similarly covered. Its scientific name is
Gnaphalium leontopodium, and the ge-
nus to which it belongs has three or
four representatives i'll the Alps, one of
them G. dioicum, being also abundant
on dry moors in Britain. 1t is, in short,
flower quaint rather than beautiful.
The edelweiss is an extremely easy
plant to raise from seed and should be
treated as an annual. The seed can be
obtained readily for few pence from
any respectable nurseryman. 1t is, how
ever, very difficult plant to transplant
with any success. Sometimes the edel-
weiss, when torn from its native noun
tain and set ont i'll garden, will have
sufficient life in it to flower and then
pine away aud die. This is the almost
invariable result of these attempted
transpiantations.
1t may be added that edelwess, when
grown on anything like the sea level,
or, in fact, anywhere away from home,
entirely loses its distinctive character
and becomes worthless as a garden
plant. Perhaps these remarks will save
some tourists sponge bags from being
filled, which, if they do not become
heated and die on the journey, will
barely linger long enough to enable the
proud owner to point to them as evil
dence that he has actually been to
Switzerland. London Standard.

are to be settled with either by cash
compromise or as the result of a jury s
decision. and juries, il is well known,
are hardly ever partial to railroad COM
panies when private individuals are SUI
ing for injuries sustained or for the
loss of immediate relatives. 1t is for
this reason that a very serious acct
dent sometimes means the wreCkage OF
the finances of a railroad company.
\ few minutes neglect, recklessness or
imprudonce may cost. in subsequent
financil damage, years Of labor.
Among railroad men the case Of the
Toledo, Peoria e Western is a familiar
one. In August, 1887, there was an ac-
cident at Chatsworth. ILL.,, on the line,
in which 100 persons were killed, and
the litigation resulting therefrom has
kept the company in the courts ever
since. The Monon road running from
Chicago to Louisville. is another suffer
er in its finances from an accident along
the line, and the Ashtabula accident
on the Lake Shore railroad some years
ago involved that railroad in many
thousand dollars of loss. Railroads
have no reserve fund to meet the losses
sustained through damage suits from
accidents. y contrary opinion prevails,
especially among litigants and jurors,
who seem to act on the general propo-
sition that railroad corporations keep
pil manu- a ldIEt sum lbI SAACii NOllAiil-
genCies as an occasional accident cost
ing anywhere from $4,000 to $500, 600.
The amount of money paid in settle
ment of damage suits by American
railroads cannot be computed with any
positivcncss, because it varies consid-
erably from. year to year, while the
condition of the railroads transporting
passengers has much to do with it..
When roads are in good condition acct
dents involving loss of life or serious
bodily injury are rare; when roads are
in poor condition such accidents are
frequent. The large systems of the
country such as the New York Central.
he Chicago, Milwaukee q st. Paul the
Illinois Central and the Southern Paci-
fc, spend on an average in the settle
ment of damage suits about $4,000
each. and the smaller railway COM
panies bring up probably the total
amount paid to about S., 900 600 in all.
Although the American railroads car

sengers, the number of fatal accidents
average but about 800, and of injuries
to passengers about 5000, or one killed
for every 1000. 900 carried and one in
jured for every 100000.
