People Warn Allowed to Look.

The late Lord Bath was one Of the
first territorial magnates in the south Of
England to throw open his country seat
to the public. Visitors have been for
many years past free to walk where
they please about Longleat park-which
is extremely beautiful and 10 miles in
circumference-and to inspect the gar
deus and grounds, while boats are pro-
vided for them on the large lake, which
is notable feature in the domain. The
interesting house, with its pictures, Ii
brary and art treasures Of every descrip-
tion, has also been open to thousands Of
visitors every year
Longleat was built during the reign
Of Elizabeth, and the house has never
been much altered in appearance, al
though all kinds of improvements have
been carried out. The late Lord Bath
built the stables, which are very fine.
One prominent feature in the park is II
wooded hill which, from the magnificent
prospect which it commands, is known
as Heavens gate. The Bath estates in
Somersetshire and Wiltshire were in
very bad order when the late owner sue
ceeded his father in 1887, but they are
now in perfect condition in all respects,
and there is not a single vacant farm. -

A Shrewd Market Woman.

The shrewdness and loquacity of mar
ket women-a craft numbering more
members in the old world than in the
new-are proverbial, and the following
anecdote in Mr.. Doran's book ON liable
Traits" bears witness to the justice of
their reputation:
A member of the sisterhood in Bris-
tol, England, had f10 pound Bank of
England note and wished to exchange
it for gold, which was then at high
premium. Accordingly she entered a
bank and made known her request, to be
met with instant refusal.
The quick witted woman, without
exhibiting any disappointment, there
upon asked the cashier to let her have
ten of the banks Gl notes in exchange
for her Bank of Highlander The ex-
change being completed, the old WON
an, taking up one Of the provincial
notes, read aloud the promise engraved
upon it to pay the bearer in cash.
Very good" said she, with chuc-
kle, now gi' me goold for your note,
or I'll run to the door and call out,
Banks broke. ;"
There was no resisting this appeal,
and the market woman departed in tri-
umph.

The author of "Tales of an Engineer"
pays tribute to the memory Of u man
of his own craft who stuck to his
engine, knowing that his death alone
could lessen the danger of those in his
charge.
The train had crossed n bridge and
was approaching tunnel, which, being
on the shadow side Of the hill, looked
like u great hole in the night. Nearer
the engine the engineer saw number
Of dark objects scattered about In an
other second he discerued what these
were and realized an awful danger.
AS he reversed the engine and applied
the airbrakes he shouted to the fireman
to jump. He might have jumped him
self, for he saw the danger first, but no
such thought came to him. In 9nother
second the pilot was plowing Though II
herd of cattle asleep on the track.
If they had all been standing. he
would have opened the throttle aud sent
them flying into the river with less risk
to his train.
But they were lying down, and as
they rolled under the wheels they lifted
the great engine from the rails and
threw her down the dump at the very
edge of the river.
But 80 we'll had the faithful engineer
performed his work that the train was
stopped without wrecking car. Many
of the passengers were not awakened.
The trainmen came forward and
found the engineer. He was able to
speak to them He knew that he had
but few minutes to live and left low
ing message for his wife. Then, as il he
had nothing more to say or do. he closed
his eyes, folded his hands over his brave
heart and without murmur. apparently
without pain, died.

thrift The managers of the road find
that by this means they save wear and
tear on the horses hoofs, and that they
are thus able to remain III the service
longer. The plan is a very simple one,
and like all other simple things that are
new it makes you want TO know why
ii was never thought of before.
The riding car for the horses con
sists of platform mounted on small
wheels protected at the sides by Il
sufficiently high railing, while the front
and rear are provided with gates. These
permit the horse to get on and off the
car without backing.
When the regular passenger car has
been drawn to the top of the long as
cent, the horse car" is hooked to the
forward end, the horses are driven
aboard, and by few dcft turns of the
brake, the descent is made safely.
At first the horses showed some hesi-
tation about cmbarling on what APP
pearcd TO be Il perilous adventure. But
they soon became accustomed to it, and
are said to even enjoy the experience,
expressing their pleasure by broad
smiles and prolonged whinnies.
There is no reason why this plan
should not be adopted with profit else
where There are many car lines which
uln for almost their entire length on
more or less steep inclincs The addi-
tioual force required TO be cXcrted in
drawing Il car up hill is turned into a
Iropellmg force when the car begins
the descent. This force might well be
employed in giving the horses a ride,
and thus saving wear and tear on their
feet.
1t might be supposed that the addi-
tional pull impaired TO this human pas
scnger car, when ON the down grade,
Iaigilt cause the brake to slip, but this
is not the case. 1t is only necessary to
make the brake little more powerful
than that on the ordinary street car.

ar is unfastoned, and the animals once
