and is always prepared for such emergen
cies. Indeed, these savers of lie and
property have much to be proud OF in
their daug hter. She IS extremely pretty.
Her eyes are dark and fawn-like, while
her naturally welI-rounded features are
still further softened by mass of waving
chestnut hair, which the little fire girl
wears parted loosely in the center and
drawn over her tiny ears. caught up at

At every social function in Greensboro
Miss Brown is the center OF attraction, and
1t is pleasing to record that the natural
jealousy which 1t might be imagined her
popularity would give rise to is entirely
absent among both maids and matrons
alike The little girl is looked upon as a
sort OF ministeriDg angel, and indeed her
many deeds OF kindness stand responsible
sponsors for her at least State wide"
reputation.
The boys of the Eagle Hose Company
are of course delighted that their chosen
daughter should have become so popular,
and a movement has now been started
which, if carried into effect, will see the
brave and quaint young woman the
adopted daughter of the National Fire
mems Association. The Greensboro boys
are confident that it is only necessary for
the iremen OF other States to become sc-
quainted with Miss Browns goodness and
ability in order to make them also anxious
TO adopt her as their official child.

as blacksmiths represent the new woman
in a brand-rew character. This news OF
their novel departure will be received with
a great deal Of interest.
1t would seem that the new woman
after having conquered all else as female
invaded the cIoister. There is small en-
couragement for the aggressive innova-
lions OF new womanhood amid the tradi-
tions and diurnal routine of convent.
The exigencies of existence in new land
which confronted the Sisters of st. Dom
inic in South Africa they boldly met in
stead of yielding TO. Men were scarce
and Indifferent to mechanics wages in a
quiet settlement when the glitter of the
golden Transvaal and the alluring dia-
monds OF The Kimberly beckoned to them
from beyond. The nuns therefore took

upon the bellows and merrily flew the
sparks from the cherry red metal which
was TO shoe the settlers waiting steed.

The grade, as before stated, in its steepest

cost OF constructing the railway was at
the rate of $500 per mile.
The exigencies OF Tylers railroad build
ing did not compel any bridge building
enterprise, as there were no intervening
valleys between the termini of the road
that could not be rounded at their heads,

few low tunnels.

probably intended partly as general

An EQUINE Hero.

A graphic story is told of Surgeon
Captain Grey. one of the officers who
served in Rhodesia. In the attack on Ma
shsngombi the horses began to drop, and
soon thirteen lay on the ground, and it
looked as if the men would all be killed.
Evidently Captain Turner thought so, for
he virtually gave the order, "Sauve qui
peut," telling every man to fight the best
he could for his own hand. But though
the horses continued to fall the men es-
capped DR.. Grey, to use his own words,

fire at gallop. and was closely followed
by the troop according to the St. James
Budget. VERY soon, however. l fell from
the saddle, struck with bullet from an eIe-
phant gun, about 500 yards off. The bullet
struck me on the top of the thigh, smash
ing the socket of the thigh bone, breaking
a vein and otherwise wounding me. My
horse was carried along at high speed with
the rear guard, which rushed at desperate
speed to clear the pocket-like entrance of
the drift where the natives were rallying
in the hope OF killing US. As 1 lay on the
grass, bleeding profusely, looked up and
saw two natives aiming at me at dis

moment l saw my horse come laundering
back from the DRIFT. 1t suddenly stopped
and stood over my PROSTATE body, covering
me from the firing and at the same time
making peculiar noise through its nos
trils. l thought it had been wounded,
and that with the pain. noise and confu-
sion it had gone mad. This notion, how
ever, was soon dispelIed, for it continued to
stand over me in a kneeling posture, and
could see that the faithful animal had
come back to protect me. l may remark

might b in Connecticut, and hence Con-
necucut agricultuTists would fain make
both ends meet by adding TO agriculture
poultry or fine livestock raising, and any
thing in the way of quarrying or lum ber-
ing that might prove profitable.
It was manifest that profit as well as
fun awaited the success OF a miniature
railroad running over Bucks Hill. Tyler,
who went to work at it in very crude,
small boyish way ct first soon compelled
his elders TO have faith IL him as civil
and mechanical engineer and road con-
structor. Then the necessary cash capital
was forthcoming without difficulty as fast
as 1t became necessary for Tyler to invest
in material
The boy engine-builder very seusibIy re-
framed from attempting to follow the
lines OF drive-wheeI locomotive. As the
Illustration shows Tyler was Indifferent to
appearances, but bent on practical re-
suits. He chose the rotary mechanism
best adapted TO steam launches and small
motors, using he gear ordinarily used for
such purposes. Tyler's levers. connec-
tions, brakes, the exposure OF his boiler
and machinery and his primitive coal
bunkers all wear an air of crudity. The
boys sensible aim was to save and make
money and not TO spend it extravagantIy.
Tyler's example if generally followed by
railroad people would maybe make the
countless thousands who buy railway Sc
curities in Wall street and who afterward
go to Brooklyn aid regret it much hap
pier.
Tyler modestly states that engine No. 1.

ble-acting, reversible and makes 500 revo-
lutions a minute. The boiler is also a two

to purchase the most extensive farm in

that farm laborers were so scarce that it

profitable, and the VOWS of their order

time TIE plowshare was broken.
