Reflections Of a Bachelor.

Some girls faces can beat any chap
eron out of the business.
A woman always has a lot of funny
ideas about men which she is ashamed
to tell her husband about
Noah wife probably insisted upon
having fly screens in the ark, even
though there were only two flies
aboard.
If the women had their way the
men would be like horses. When a
horse is going to shy you can tell it by
his ears.
No woman can see how her husband
can be lost when the Lord knows
there are such lots of men that are SO
much worse than he is. :
When you go driving with girl
and she asks if she can hold the reins,
[ wonder why she most always asks
you if it doesn seem. funny not to
have anything to do with your hands.

Why the Negro is Called ''Coon."

Many years ago, when superstition
held greater sway than now, and the
influences of the occult and weird
were most potent. cunning negro
slave had acquired the reputation of
possessing a familiar spirit, and of
being able to perform many uncanny
mysteries. His fellow slaves held
him in great awe, and even his master
grew to belief in his powers. This
finally led to wager, in which the
greater part Of the masters fortune.
was staked on the negro 5 divini' ig

lawn and live coon placed unde + the
barrel. Then the negro sootf .-saycr

A New Safety Device.
public,

A very ingenious and valuable con-
trivance for the saving Of life by pre-
venting railroad accidents through
forgetfulness Of trainmen has been in
vented. The machine has just stood
a very severe test on the Great North
ern Railroad, after having been opera
ted successfully on the St. Paul and
Duluth road. Practical railroad men
have given strong endorsements to
the device after seeing its work. The
object of the device is. to provide an
accurate and reliable reminder signal
and distance indicator for locomotives,
by means Of which engineers are pre-
vented from forgetting their train or
ders as to stopping or meeting points.
The mechanism is simply but posi-
lively connected with the forward
trucks of the engine, thereby accur-
ately measuring the distance travelled,
the dial--placcd in front of the engi-
ncer-showing correctly the distance
travelled. Above the smaller of the
two dials are placed fifteen triggers or
dogs, pivoted at equal distances around
the center. When the engineer re-
ceivcs his orders he sets one or more
of these triggers to a point one mile
short of the distance to be travelled
before reaching stopping place. The
mileage indicator, on reaching such
point, releases the trigger, which
starts signal whistle blowing. This
continues to blow for one-quarter OF a
mile, promptly warning the engineer
of the near approach to stopping place.
If the engineer is inattentivc and fails
to stop when this lost mile has been
run over, the machine sets the air
brake and stops the train for him. a
train similarly equipped coming in the
opposite direction would be stopped
in the same manner and collision
prevented. The device can be made
to run forward or backward. For
foggy or stormy weather, or for dark
nights, the device is considered cs-
pecially valuable for ordinary road
use.-7Hc Raii,rny World.

A $40 Bill.

An amusing incident occurred few
days ago at Broad street station. An
old gentleman, while passing through
the waiting room, stopped and picked
up $40 note from the floor and quick
ly put'it in his trousers pocket. A
young man near by, noticing this, at
once claimed the money as his, but
the old gentleman opinion on that
point was somewhat different, and a
heated argument ensued. The mat
ter was explained to a ticket agent
at the window, who referred the two
disputants to the head agent to settle
the question of ownership. They
were ushered into the private Office Of
the arbiter. After lively discussion,
the old gentleman finally became in
dignant, and drawing his hand from
his pocket, he threw the note on the
desk, exclaiming, 'Here, take the old
s1OT' AS the agent was unfolding
the note large smile overspread his
features, and he showed them it was
not $40 note at all, but an advertise
.ment Of leading house in this city.
The young man face flushed scarlet,
and, looking neither right nor left,
he unceremoniously rushed from the
Office through the depot and disap-
red.-Philadezphio Record.

.i.n Inconvenient Bird.

In the days before the war
family of hard-working people lived in
border county Of mississippi. Their
home was situated upon the big
road, which led from Alabama north
ward into Mississippi. They did not
keep 4 tavern, but they often fed the
wayfarer.
One Saturday the housewife roasted
large turkey, baked a batch of bread,
and made number of pies. She was
ready for her Sunday dinner, and cx-
pected to go to church the next day !;
the services were held number of
miles away
After 2 clock that Saturday after
noon a single horseman appeared. lie
asked for his dinner, and fed his horse
in the ample stable of the farmer.
The housek.eeper was busy and the
man in haste, so she set the turkey
before him, thinking he would not
make much of an impression upon it.
The stranger sat down in front Of
the turkey and set to work. He cut
into the breast Of one side, and ate it
all. His appetite was only whetted.
He demolished the wing and then cut
off the leg. The drumstick disappear
ed and the huge upper joint was strip
ned. The woman stood aghast. She
pattered out to the back porch, where
her pies we're cooling, and, selecting a
tempting apple pic, set it before her
guest. He put it to one side and
turned the untouched side Of the tur-
key toward him. He cut off the wing
AID the leg. The woman saw her
Sunday dinner disappear before her
eyes.
At length, having exposed all the
bones Of the large fowl, he attacked
| the pie and left not a crumb.
The woman sank into chair near
BY. She was too much overcome; for
a moment, to speak. Then she said
"You seem to have enjoyed the tur-
key. There is not so much left as |
expected
She could say no more. She felt
that words were inadequate to the
occasion.
The man pushed back his chair,
took out his quill toothpick, crossed
his knees, and sighed with satisfac-
tion. Then he spoke
"Well, madam, said he, "a turkey
is very inconvenient bird
He fell to ruminating. His counte-
nance expressed the benevolence
which good dinner is apt to produce
in man.
The woman waited for him to ex-
plain, but he was silent Then she
said:
NWhy is the turkey inconvenient?'
"Well, madam, it is little too
much for one and not quite enough
for two, replied her guest.

THE expedition sent out last Spring
by the Geological Survey, under the
leadership of j. L. Spur, to explore the
gold regions of Alaska, has returned
with the report that the United States
possesses there the richest mines in the
world. The belt is not less than 800
miles long, and from 80 to 100 miles
wide, or may times larger than the
famous Rand in South Africa. In this
in plain sight are limitless quantities of
rich ore, some running as high as 1910
to the ton. On Juneau Island, which is
part of the tract, are situated the famous
Treadwell mines, which are believed to
be the richest mines in the world. The
expedition explored only that portion in
United States territory, but the deposit
continues into British country. A great
deal Of gold has already been taken out
by crude placer mining, but this is but
a slight skimming of the mass. I'm
fortunately, the country around is bleak
and barren, which will produce nothing
in the way of food, and all provisions
and supplies have to be brought from
Washington, Oregon and California, at
great cost for transportation. Capital
will, however, speedily rush in there and
insure the production of immense quanti-
ties of gold.
