DRIVING non SNAPPED IN'Two.
Locomotive of Central FIR eight Train
Disabled Rear BIOomingdaIe.

An outbound early morning freight
train on the Central met with a peculiar
accident yesterday. Soon after passing
Bloomingdale the axle of the driving rod
on the engine suddenly snapped, the six
inches or more of steel breaking as though
1t were wood
The great rod, flying violently through
the air, struck on the ties beyond the rail
smashing them for a distance of two hun
dred feet or more before the engine came
to a standstin The noise was terrific, and
the occupants of the cab were momentari-
" in danger of being struck by the rod,
results of that character having been
known in similar accidents.
The accident delayed the shoo-ay train
about twenty minutes. In order to get the
freight of the main track a small pine
tree was chopped down trimmed and the
end cut to a rough triangle. This crude
coupler, probably twenty feet long was
lifted into place between the engines of
the passenger and freight trains and the
latter was slowly pushed to the siding
at Bloomingdale. The spectacle was a
unique one to The passengers few having
ever seen or heard of recourse TO such
a simple but effective method

OF the little beasts. The flavor of the meat
is said to be identical with that of rabbit
meat These animals need constant at
tentlon to keep them out of mischief. as
they are little demons to fight, and they
have habit of chewing up whatever frag-
ments they find scattered about till they
die of gastric congestion. In their habits
they are subject to unaccountabe panics
and often rush about squeaking and then
huddle together quietly for the rest of the
day. They are very prolific, and the young
are not blind like the young of the rabbit,
and often when only two days old, it is

Russian Government Paid &125,OOO For
the Celebrated Irish Bred Race Horse.
1t is asserted in London that the Rus
sian government has purchased the cele-
brated Irish bred race horse Galtee More
for e25, 900 ($125, O00).
Galtee More was bred by John Cub
bins we'll known Irish sportsman
who inherited nearly a million sterling
from an uncle who had accumulated a
vast fortune in a Cork distillery. The
animal was the first Irish horse to win
the English Derby and is one of the
seven horses that have won the SO call
ed triple classic crown of the English
turf-viz, the Two Thousand Guineas
at Newmarket, the EPSON Derby and
the Doncaster st. Leger He is regarded
by competent judges as one Of the best
horses of the century. Last autumn it
was reported that the Hungarian gov
ernmcnt had purchased the animal for
SEQ. 900, but this was erroneous. Mr..
Gubbins intimated at the time that he
had no intention Of parting with the
horse on any terms, Galteo More made

MRS. HESING'S DOLLS.
A Chicago Woman Has the Finest Col
lection In the World.

The finest collection Of dolls in the coun.
try, or perhaps in the world, Is owned hy
Mrs. Washington Iiesing of Chicago. They
were gathered together in her many
travels around the world. 1t is collection
OF over 100 dolls, each one Of which is the
exponent OF the manner in dress or cos
tune of some well known or out Of the
way corner of Europe.
There are peasant dolls from Norway.
Sweden. Russia, Holland. France, &c
many and Italy There are representatives
from I.apland. Iceland and all the frigid
zone. There are dolls dressed in the COS
tune Of the better classes in France and
Great Britain There is lady from the
Turkish harem. There are dolls from
China and Japan Indian dolls from Alas,
ka and tho great west: a doll monkey
from the south sea islands, and representa-
tiyes from the four corners of the globe.
The collection has been the result of ten
years growth, and is the pride of Mrs.
Hosines heart. 10 her it is priceless and
beyond the reckoning touch Of "a c0mputeI
in dollars and cents. She takes the most
extraordinary care of them by protecting

THEIR ISOLATED LIVES.
A Fate Brought by Devotion by Ex-
allied Station.

Human lives for the most part run in
the same great grooves of home, family,
work and wages, but there are men in tho
world who arc set apart for fates so abnor-
nal and different from all Others that it is
difficult for us even to conceive them.
Among these, for instance, are tho two
Danish missionaries to the Eskimos. Each
OF them is banished Of his own choice to a
life amid eternal ice and snow. His com
papions are savages. Once year a ship
brings him supplies, papers and letters
from home, and going back leaves tho self
inundated man alone for another year.
Another virtually isolated, and from
many points Of view Fictitious, lot is that
of the young car of Russia. Consider it
for a moment A little black visaged man,
SO ordinary in appearance that he might
be passed on the street unnoticed many
times day, u young fellow Of character,
emotions and mental traits no more
strongly m,e'ked than those Of countless
other young lads, is the ruler, the father
of more than 100, 900, 600 of human beings.
Their happiness and misery and the fate
of Armenians, Moslems and Greeks depend
largely on his wish and whim today. The
responsibility, tho isolation, the artificial
restraints, the approximations Of such a life
are unique and monstrous.
Still stranger is the fate of two men
who, as stated by Mr. Frederick Boyle, are
human gods. They are worshiped by a
race dwelling in the mountains Of Cam
bodia. They inherit their position as god.
AS soon as one of them succeeds to this
office, he is sent to u tower in the noun
tains where he lives alone for a year, sup
piled with food by his people, who leave it
within his reach, but do not speak to him.
There arc seven Of these towers, and the
wretched deity spends year alone in each.
At the end of seven years he is allowed &c
return to the world ii he is alive and sane,
but the solitude usually ends in his death
or idiocy.
1t is worth our while to consider some
times such strange, abnormal lives, TO see
more clearly how much of our own bappi
ness comes from the homely, common,
everyday blessings that are the birthria mt
of every man and woman, and for which
we seldom remember to thank God
