ON an old-rlme Railroad.

Years ago railroad travel wasn't as
well developed as it is today. A pas
senger on the old Peninsula railroad,
between Battle Creek and Lansing,
Mich. tells of a ride he took many
years ago. Not only was the road
rough and dangerous, but, after going
for some time at a snail's pace, the
train stopped suddenly in the midst OF
a deep forest. For half an hour the
engine pulled energetically, but the
train did not start. At last the pas
sengers grew discouraged and got off
to see what the matter was. They
found that the fireman had run out of
fuel, having used his last stick of
wood. Accordingly the trainmen and
passengers went off into the wood
picked up fallen limbs and logs, drag
ged them up to the track and loaded
them into the tender. At last the fire.
man got up steam enough to blow the
whistle; the passengers climbed
aboard and the train started. In few
minutes, however, it stopped again.
Two of the leaders of the wood cru
SADIE went out and found several COWS
lying on the track in front of the en-
CINE. They helped the brakeman drive
them of and then the train started
again. finally pulling into Lansing
safe and sound. Not much like rail-
road travelling today, was it?

With tho Speed of Lightning.

Ten thousand miles in less than a
minute-how is that for swiftness?
Not long ago the editor of newspa-
per in Chile wished to find out just
how long 1t. would take for telegram
to go from London, England, to Val
paraiso, Chile. Accordingly, arrange
ments were made with the telegraph
and cable companies to keep open the
wires. Ten minutes before the mes
sage was to be sent the wires were
cleared along the entire distance and
all the ordinary communications
through the cables were suspended.
At the given astronomical time the
dispatch was sent from London to
Carcavellos, whence it was transferred
through a submarine cable to Pernam-
buco, and from there the Brazilian
coast cable conducted the message to
Buenos Ayres, where it was dispatched
over the South American transconti-
mental telegraph line, arriving at VAL
paraiso fifty-five seconds after leaving
the London Office, although the dis
lance 1t had to travel in this short
space Of time amounted to almost TO-
900 miles, and the eight words of the
message had to be repeated four times.
Get out your biographies and see If
you can follow out the route taken by
this message.

A New Game.

Bring up your chairs and try a game
Of Waterloo Cut out the diagram
published below and paste it firmly
to stiff piece of cardboard-or play
on it as it is. The game, which has
been invented for our boys and girls,
is exceedingly simple, but when you
have learned it you find it much more
interesting than backgammon or
checkers. If any of you are to give an
evening entertainment and don't know
just how to amuse your friends, try
Waterloo" It may also be played
progressively, two at each board.
To play the game cut from card
board twelve small squares, six white
and six colored.
The player using the white pieces, or
men, places them on one of the end
rows, as 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6. The op-
ponent's men are placed on SO, 80, 40,
Al, AZ and 43. Call these two rows the
camp rows.
The object Of the game is for each
player to try to get all his men into
his opponents camp row. The one who
first does this wins. Observe tie fol-
lowing rules:
Move only one space at time q. e.,
from one circle to another), except In
case of jump.
Always move forward, never back
ward, on either the diagonal or the
straight lines. Thus, a man on circle
in passing to the opposite camp row
may move to or 9, but not back from
or 9 to 4. Having reached 9, the
next move may be to either 10, IA or
II.
Jumps are made as in checkers. ex-
cept that the pieces jumped are not
taken from the board. When possible.
two or more pieces may be jumped at
the same time, as in checkers.
No jump can be made around an an
gle, as from IA to 2l-the pieces jumped
must lie in straight line. A player
must Jump when there is chance.
A study of this game will bring out
some very interesting problems.

Lawsuits In Borneo.

When the Dyaks of Borneo have to
decide between two disputants, they
give to each the same sized lump OF
salt. These Jumps are dropped into
water, and he whose lump is dissolved
first is to be decided in the wrong.
Or they put two live shellfish on plate
-one for each litigant-and squeeze
lime juice over them. The verdict is
given according to which mans fish
stirs first. An English traveller remarks
gravely that the result is sometimes
as accurate as the judgment of CIV
ilized courts.

The point OF the v Is always led by
an experienced old gander. Sometimes
one or two of the flock become sepa-
rated from the rest when they alight.
as they often do, on mill pond or q
stream. Then they become bewildered
and fly around over the ground, making
a great cutlery. This Is always looked
on as sign of o storm.
Usually these flocks follow up some
river-the Mississippi or the Illinois
and occasionally they drop down into
a pond or stream to rest and feed. Here
is where the sportsman watches for
them.

Two Little Editors.

Once In A While is the name of a
little paper published in Hyde Park,
says a writer in the Chicago Record.
Roy d. and Phil F. Hawley are its
editors and publishers, and the paper
is now in its second year.
The Brothers Hawley live at 5845
Madison avenue, where the paper is
issued from forms ~ by 5h inches.

ty-one copies, but the paid circulation
is now more than 100. Once In A While

is issued ENTHUSIASTICALLY" its edi-
tors, nevertheless, got out an extra on
the birth of a baby at their home some
time ago. The two boys are editors.
publishers, business managers, COM
positors and pressmen for. the paper.
In the Christmas number of the
paper was an article on Maj. Mckinley,
who is now president of the United
States. A copy was sent to him at
Canton, O., and he acknowledged its
receipt through his private secretary.
But there is another Once In A While
published in Chicago, and the other
paper got the acknowledgment and
printed it, not knowing that it had not
been intended for its publisher. This
letter read:

The murderer who, at dead of night.
creeps, stealthily ont TO bury the dead and
rrangled body OF his victim inspires men
with horror and dread. There is a murderer
abroad who yearly Stays one-sixth of all the
human race who go down to untimclv deaths
This dread monster is called consumption
The approach of consumption is slow and
insidious. First there is slight disorder
of the digestion. The appetite is poor and
the nourishing properties of the food are not
properly assimilatcd. The blood becomes
thin and impure. The body begins to starve.
Old tissues of the body arc not properly re.
placed by new. The lung tissues are not
properly nouriShed and arc inert and half
dead. In this condition they offer good
soil for the germs of consumption which
invade and attack them.
This operation is promptly reversed by
DR.. Piercc's Golden Medical Discovery. 1t
invigCrates the digestion and appetite and
makes assimilation perfect. It builds up
and purifics the blood 1t makes new and
healthy tissue to replace the old inert mat
ter which 1t causes to be carried Off 1t
