portunlty of seeing the old lady again,
and next morning she proceeded to the
house in which her friend resided alone.
Getting no response to her repeated
knocks, she summoned one of the old
lady's relatives, who, with doctor and
a policeman, forced the door and found
the aged occupant dead in her bed
room.
A remarkable instance of a dream
that denoted disaster occurred in Paris
in connection with the death of a well
known English gentleman jockey, who
was killed there by fall from his
horse.
According to his own testimony, q
confidential friend of the unfortunate
man was troubled with very dis
quieting dream the night before the
accident took place. In 1t he saw a
horseman wearing 4 cherry-red coat,
which was his friends particular color,
crushed to death by a fall.
Much impressed by this singular
occurrence he mentioned his dream to
several acquaintances next morning,
! but not one of them would regard II
In at all a serious light. Before long
however, it had been fulfilled to the
/ letter and the skeptics changed their
| views.
| All the foregoing instances arc
strictly authentic, and conclusively
show that there are some things
| dreamed of in cur beds which cannot
yet be accounted for hy our philo-
sophy.

Age Limit on Railroads.

Within the past few years it has
been the policy of many OF the rail-
roads to establish an age limit in the
employment of new men. On most OF
the roads the limit has been fixed at
forty and forty-fve years. We under
stand the object of l.,Ilting the age Of
employees is to prevent the service from
being over-crowded with old men.
% Recently an order was issued by the
Pennsylvania railroad tnat after Jan
uary 1, 1900, no new men will be en-
ployed in. either the train. roadway
OF shop departments who are over
thirty-five years Of nge. ON the Balti.
more and Ohio railroad an age limit
for locomotive engineers he's been fixed
at thirty-ftve years and for Iiremen at
twenty-seven years. This is a very
serious matter to railroad men in gen.
eral and one that has not been fore
seen,
The question naturally arises, what
are railroad men to do in the future,
when from any cause they are thrown
out OF employment?

Car INSPECTORS Work.

1t is eresting to watch the trained
car inspector examining long freight
train which has rolled along into the
yards. He moves along the side of the
car and notes all the wheels, brake
beams, holsters rods, etc. He uses no
hammer, but has his eyes open for de-
fects. He will stop suddenly, look
carefully at a. crack running, perhaps.
from the flange to the centre. Such q
wheel is condemned at once and the
car is shifted off until q new pair OF
wheels can be placed under it. II
there be a fiat spot on d wheel which
measures more than two and half
inches across that wheel must go too.
Then there may be a sharp flange, and
that must be looked after. a coupling
may have faults, brake rigging may
have given out, and all these things
the inspector must take note of.
He must be an honest man, as thou
sands of dollars worth Of property and
many lives might be lost in case Of
negligence. Box car doors he looks
at carefully. They are dangerous
