ADJUSTMENTS.

To make the little ones happy is not
only the parents Joy but a duty. No
entertainment was ever offered which
gives children SO much real happiness
as the pantomime of "Humpty
Dumpty." When George L. Fox pro-
duced 1t, thirty years ago. in New York,
it had the greatest run then known in
the history of the stage and on the road
1t took the country by storm. Again for
years it was king of the realm OF
babyhood. but all Joys have an end and
"Humpty Dumpty" died, much beloved
and universally regretted. The pretty
fairy story has, however. been re-writ-
ten and a rich theatrical firm have or
ganized a magnificent enterprise-all
the scenery being new and gorgeous.
The trick properties will present sur
prlses never before seen In this country,
and the troupe will muster over fifty
pantomimIsts and dancers. The COM
pany is under the management Of Mr..
James B. Dickson.

AN RAIL.

Chief Engineer w. T. Manning, of
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, has
invented a new rail that experts say
has many points of interest to railroad
owners, the principal one being its
economical feature. 1t is well known
that rails were rapidly on curve and
where these are short and traffic
heavy, the cost of renewal is very
large. Manning has evolved a section,
which, he asserts, will reduce the cost
81 per cent per ton per year. He adds
materially to the life of the rail by

The gust of wind that struck the

ing with it a binding snow, had the
appearance for a while of a genuine
blizzard. At the Belmont mill the gale
tore off a patch of the corrugated iron
roof and sent the sheets helter-skelter
into Main street. Some of them struck
the trolley line, breaking it loose and
delaying traffic for considerable time.
One of the sheets struck the wire in
such a ann as to catch and hang
suspended a couple of feet from the
ground, and some difficulty was eX-
perienced in getting it off.

Provision Made for 81 johnson in tho

One day late In November commercial trav-
eller from New York was walking aimlessly
through the graveyard in a little village in
Connecticut. 1t was a dreary looking place.
The few trees which had been planted there by
the friends of those sleeping underground
were bare OF leaves. and the wind made their
branches rub together with a sound which
suggested lrving's description Of the haunted
tree at Sleepy Hollow. The commercial trav-
eller was about to seek a more cheerful scene
for the continuation of his stroll when he
caught sight OF a man carrying a spade coming
through the little gate which was reserved for
pedestrians, the other and larger entrance
being used by those who rode in carriages-or
otherwise.
Business pretty brisk around here 2" asked
the drummer, throwing away his cigar and
joining the man with the spade.
