The Two Bell signal For Starting.

An explanation of the practice of ringing two bells to start q street car was made by an old street car man, and, if not trustworthy, it is ingenuous. He declared that when horse cars were first used here one bell was used to start the car aE,i one bell to stop it The horses soon hroke down. They foundered ct the knees, or their shoulders gave way. Every device that could be thought of was to ease up the strain of start ing. Spiral springs were put on all the traces, but no good resulted. Finally a countryman who had been employed a week as a driver sue gested that two bells be used to start the car, and he ayerred that when the horses got used to it they would set themselves at the first ring and be ready to pull at the second. The plan was tried and was so success ful that it has been in use ever since Philadelphia Record.

QUAINT ARCTIC LEGEND.
As Old Russian Story About the I.Osa
 Tribes of Israel.


 Tribes of Israel.
 Years and years ago, so the legend runs, an exiled Jew on the bleak wilds of northern Siberia, in an ef- fort 10 reach an overhanging branch of a tree, placed his foot upon log floating in tho water. No sooner had his foot touched tho log when 1t seemed inspired with life and moved rapidly of, bearing the exile away toward tho vast icedelds, which were plainly visible and plentiful toward tho north. Rapidly the cur vent swept the log northward, bear ing with it the unfortunate Jew, who was so benumbed with feNr and cold that he was unablo to for mulate a plan of escape from bis perilous position.
 For threo consecutive days and nights the prisoner clung to the log, passing through towering fields of resborcs and dashing under arches 0It by tho current through the sky soTaping fields of ice. Out into bssu- tifll sunshine our traveller eventual ly emerged. The grass was green, and the trees were garbed in the splendor of nature, and birds mode merry music on every branch. peo- ple, great in numbers, were congrs- gated on either bank of the stream, all dressed in holiday raiment of the finest texture, but similar in charao ter to the clothing worn by our an cestors 2,000 years ago. The current of the stream ceased to flow, tho log tlrifted to the bank, and the almost famished and thoroughly frightened traveller repeated for the thousshdth time the Hebrew words, !" Shama- Israeli and in uncertain manner dismounted from the log.
 The inhabitants crowded about, and, speaking in Hebrew with which language h was thoroughly conversant), learned of his need of food and rest and supplied those wants, after which they inquired whence he came and whither he was going. Numerous inquiries were made regarding the people who lived beyond their cirCumscribed world, who in reciprocity informed him of themselves and their mode of living, which had in nowise changed since the advent of the Christian era.
 They worked and worshiped even as did the Jew in ancient times, when Palestine was a garden and l Jerusalem the center of civilization. [ The traveller learned that these pec- ple were the ;5st tribes of Israel, who had migrated to this sodly country, led by ,he descendant of Aa-ou named Joseph, who had pRssed away without leaving any deDcendants. With them they had b2naght many of tho vessels and mach of the paraphernalia of Solo ron's temple and patterned their house of worship after this famous temple of Jerusalem.
 The traveller was told that the stream s current was active six days in the week and on the seventh be- came quiet and did not move, but as he was a member Of different t-ibe from themselves he would not be al lowed to remain within the country. So he was placed in a boat. which was pushed out into the current, and was borne by a circuitous route back to Siberia. Afterward be was pardoned, returned to Russia and told his adventure.-Atlanta Jewish i Sentiment

Writing on The Needless Fear OF
Lightning" Edward w. Box, in the
September Ladies' Home journal, says
that sit will doubtless surprise the
timid to know that only two hundred
deaths year on an average through
out this entire country, occur from
lightning. OF one person in every three
hundred and fifty thousand people
Now, in comparison, fifteen times as
many people are killed each year by
falling out of windows; over twice as
many from being bit by rattlesnakes,
while twenty-five PER cent. more are
killed with unloaded' pistols More
people are drowned around New York
City slore every year than there are
deaths from lightning all over the
country In fact, more people, by
Afty per cent, are killed by beiD G
kicked by horses in New York City
than die from lightning throughout
the whole OF the United States.
"The cAusalties OF the south show
that the dangers Of being lynched and
OF being killed by Lightning are about
the same. The trolley cars OF our
cities kill q far greater mum Der Of peo
Pile than do the lightning storms
Now, these are fscts-they are strictly
