would have taken a monkey in f1rst-rate
training to have climbed over that baggage
car without breaking his neck at the rate
at which we were running. 1 went back in
to the sleeper again. and y holding on to
berth, tried to light up cigar, but some
how the match didn't seem to take much
interest in the thing. 1 felt confident that
in few minutes more the car would leave
the track and go to everlasting smash, and
remember feeling thankful that had gone
ever my acc counts just before leaving Jeri-
cho. and that nobody could fail to under
stand them. Just then / thought Of the
brake. If should go out on the platform
and put the brake on, the engineer would
feel the drag on the car and would stop the
train. unless he was stark mad. At any
rate, the thing was worth trying.
Il got out on the platform hanging on
fer all was worth to the hand rail, until
got hold Of the brake wheel. 1t was as
rusty as If it had been soaking in water for
a week, but didn't mind that. / jammed
that brake down good and hard, but the
brake chain snapped almost as easy as the
bell cord, and there was an end of that plan
for stopping the train. OF course, knew
that brake chain sometimes snaps, and
you can't prevent it, but 1T was curious that
both the bell cord and the brake chain on
that car should have been good for nothing
Well, l got back into the car again, and

young days, for I despise drunkard, es-
pecially if he is a railroad man. But
hadn't lad above six or seven drinks that
day, and 1 knew that another moderate
one wouldn't do me any harm. I was be-
ginning to feel little better when 1 re-
meTnbered that I had never heard the
whistle of the locomotive since we had
started from Manlius station. That show
ed me that the engineer wasn't either
drunk or mad. for in either case he would
have blown his whistle about two-thirds of
the time; there being nothing that a crazy
man or drunken engineer finds as sooth-
ing as steam whistle. I couldn't explain

PHILATELIsTs HAVE POWER.
They Bring About Reform O.
Abuses In Widely Separated Lands.

They Bring About Reform of
Abuses In Widely Sepnrat Lands.
From the Edinburgh Scotsman. - .-- p'
Philatelists have just received two items
Of intelligence which will greatly rejoice
the hearts of the Society for the Suppress
sion of Superfuous Stamps and those en-
thusiastic collectors who were crying out
that their favorite pursuit was being
brought into ridicule by the action of GER
tain governments-mostly among the small
er states of the world.
There was, however, one offender against
philateic morality found where it was
least expected. This was New South Wales,
where the postmaster general had coun-
tenanced the practice of selling a whole
series of officially surcharged stamps to col
lectors after they had been withdrawn from
postal use. 1 mentioned that protest
against this practice had been sent to Mr..
Chamberlain as colonial secretary, and it
is now reported that MIR. Chamberlain who,
of course, had no jurisdiction in the mat
ter forwarded the protest to Sydney for
the information Of the New South Wales
government. The local philatelists were
equally strong in their denunciation of the
new departure, and Mr.. Cook, the. post
master general, has now announced that
the sale Of the reprinted stamps Is to be
discontinued.
The other news as to which philatelistS
are concentrating themselves Is tnat one
of the South American republics, Ecuador,
has promptly given ear to the petition pre-
sented some months ago by American col
lectors begging for a reform of the system
of issuing new stamps every year, If not
more frequently. The system IS one Of re-
cent growth. it's main feature being an ar
rangement by which the government con-
sents to fresh issue of stamps each year,
and the contractors undertake to supply
all the stamps free Of charge, on condition
that they are allowed, when each issue be-
comes obsolete, to sell the remainder to
collectors and dealers. This system OBJ
vously lends itself to the multiplication of
wholly unnecessary issues md to many
abuses.
The promptness Of the response may per-
| haps in part be attributed to the fact that
| 1.-The supreme head Of the state at this
moment is a dictator, and not president.
| Gen. Eloy Alfaro is presumably urhamper-
! ed by constitutional fetters, and he has
accordingly decreed that the existing con-
| tract for the supply Of postage stamps
being unworthy of the dignity of the
| government" is denounced that in future
| all "remainders' are to be destroyed, and
| that the executive is to take measures to
| re-establish the credit of the Ecuadorian
postage stamp with the philatsnc world

A GHOST TRAIN.
BY W. L. ALDEN.
Copyright, 1896, by W. L. Alden.)


"Do you mean to tell me-" asked the sta
ton master, that you really believe that
train has ghost. and that ghostly trains
run over actual railways at nishr?"
'If you were A railroad man." replied n y
friend, you'd see the foolishness of asking
such a question: Do I believe in ghost
trains? You might as well ask me IL be-
lieye in Pullman cars. Why, mani every
railroad man knows that ghost trains are
liable to be met with almost any night. I
don't say that they are common, but 1 do
say that there are lots of men who have
seen 'em, and have just as mncn reason be-
lieving in 'em as they have for believing in
any regular train
Have you yourself ever seen a ghost
train?'' asked.
The station master chewed his cigar for a
moment in silence, and then said: Seeing
as It's you that asks me, I'll tell you some
thing that l haven't told any man for mare
than ten years. unless he happened to be an
experienced railroad man. You see, I got
tired of having people doubt my word. and
insinuate that 1 was lunatic. or had been
drinking too much whisky. You'll perts ps
think the same, but what I'm going to tell
you is a cold fact, and there amt bit OF
lying, or poetry, or political argufying. or
any of those sort of imaginative thirgs
about it.
You know the road from here 20 Tiberius
Center? It's pretty near straight line, but
when I first came into these parts, the
trains used to run from here to 'Tiberius
Center by a mighty roundabout way The
line, 1T was originally laid out, ran in a
sort Of semi-circle, taking in half dozen
small towT:s lying northwest of this place
After while the company surveyed the

crossings without sounding the whistle,
except on the theory that the engineer
had dropped dead in his cab. But then
there would have been the fireman. Both
of the men couldn't very well have died at
the same minute, and If there was any
thing the matter with the engineer, the
fireman would naturally either have stopped
the train and tried to get help. or he would
have run 1t very cautiously, that not being
his usual business, and would have been
very particular about whistling at the
proper places. Not hearing the whistle
was, on the whole, more astonishing to
me than finding a Pullman car without
passenger, or without q niger porter; and
with the bed clothes soaked with water,
and the bell cord almost too rotten to bear
its own weight.
There wasn't thing to be seen through
the car windows, for they were thick with
dirt. So, wanting to get some idea of the
locality that we had got to, I went out on
the rear platform again, and getting down
ON the lower step 1 leaned out to have a
look all around. Just then we started
around another curve, and what with my
fingers being little numb, and what with
the swaying of the car, I lost my hold,
and was shot off that train like mail bag
that is chucked on to our platform when
the Pacific express goes booming by.
Luckily l fell into a snowbank and
wasn't seriously hurt. However, the shock
stunned me for a while, and when ! came

1t is said that the ex-Empress Eugene

the roaring of cannon, which was to an
nounce the birth of an heir to the i'm
perial couple, VINO were then at the height
of their popularity When the cannon
shots began they were counted by the
listening throng, and when they reached
100 the Parisiafis knew that the baby was
a boy. OF course there was great joy at
the event, and crowds about the palace
found placard posted at the gates with
the following announcement:
The emperor has decided that he will be
godfather and the empress that she will be
godmother to all legitimate children born
on March 16.
In accordance with these instructions. on
the following day the births of 5000 chill
dren were registered in the Office of the
prefect of the department of the Seine as
godchldren of Napoleon and Eugene.
After her husbands death the empress as
sumed the obligations of the emperor to-
ward the children for whom he had been

He Tries to Tell What He Knows
About Sharks.
From the London Church Times.
An examiner of lads under sixteen for
the civil service commission gave for
question, Describe the habits OF fish"
Here is literal transcript of one out OF
batch Of some hundreds Of answers:
"On the Habits of Fish.
"The shark Is about twenty feet long,
and has five rows of teath when the shark
Is going to catch its pray it turns on Its
side. The sharks are found ind India,
where they are very numerous in Africa,
etc. The way they catch sharks Is low
ering a piece of meat on sharp hook (and
sailors will do it for amusement, and the
shark Is very hungry always. that he will
grab at the meat and find himself caught.
ION of his foes are the sord fish 1t will

mick.
"When the shark has been floating about
on the water for some time it gets lot of
small fish in it's mouth and they will go
and lay on the beach and let small birds
come In their mouth and pick them off and
will not heart them. The shark can live in
water and on land. Going from England
to Indiad, you will see sharks in the nile,
they will follow ships for many miles on
haps not get any. They are different kinds
of sharks, the Black shark. Etc.
''The shark is very curious animal. it
can lay its teeth down when not catching
any food.
''Once upon a time there was ship
going to america, and on board some
slaves the slaves were packed so close to-
gether that they could not live, and the
captin Of the ship you'st to lei some come
upon deck, and many of the slaves you'st

SO the captin determened to stop it If he
could. So one day black slave woman
was just in the acted to jump overheard
when the captain caught her. and had as
many slaves as he could upon deck. And
then he had a roap fastened around her
vast, and lowered her overheard, when a
shark came and bitt half off her off, and
then the captain had the other half pulled
up and sown to the slaves on deck, and
then said to them that he would do any one

not being my business, but pretty soon
found that / could not keep in my seat
without holding on with both hands. I've
been In cars that have done some pretty
tall running and over some mighty rougn
ground, but never before or since knew
car to jump and roll and shake herself
generally as that car did. began to think
that the engineer was either drunk or crazy
and that the passengers had got so scared
that they had all left the train. To tell
the truth. I would have been glad to have
left the train myself. but never was fond

appeared I would tell him who I was and

take good care that the division superin-
tendent should know all about the thing.
So got hold of the bell cord and gave 1t
fairish sort of pull-not the very hardest
sort Of pull, you understand, but just a
moderate pull. The cord broke in my hand
as easy as If 1t had been piece of thread

way disappeared. looked at the bell cord

"All the time the train was rushing ahead
at speed that would have been counted
worth noticing even on the New York Cen
trail. When she struck a curve-and there
were lots Of them-she just left the track en-
tirely, and swung round that curve with
her wheels in the air. And when she did
strike the track again you can bet that
things shook. OF course don't mean that
the train actually did leave the track but
that was the way 1t would have seemed to
you if you had been aboard that car. I went
to the forward door to see II there was any
chance of getting into or over the baggage
car and so reaching the engineer, but 1t
