A Daneerous Walk.

A high trestle bridge, a quarter Of q
mile long, supports the single track Of
the Nickel Plate Railway across the
valley of Grand River. Ohio. Recently
a young man crossed this bridge under
thrilling circumstances. A Cleveland
exchange tells the story.
He was halfway across when fast
train rounded the curve behind him
There was not moment to lose, and
he quickened his pace, not an easy task
on the ties.
As he neared the end the train was
close behind him. and he had just time
to swing himself over the side Of the
bridge as the locomotive thundered by
The ends Of the ties were slippery
with grease. and his foot slipped as he
left the track His right hand
stretched out blindly. touched an iron
brace, and he clutched 1t. Then for a
moment he swung in space, and In an
other his left hand found a place be-
side his right and his feet touched a well
come beam below.
With bleeding fingers clutching the
slender iron bar that bent and vibrated,
moments seemed hours; but at length
the train passed. and the young man
was able to climb slowly to the track
above. and crawl over the ties to firm
ground.

Mark Twain writes for the Century
q tribute to his fellow-townsman, the
late James Hammond Trumbull. Mr..
Clemens relates the following anec.
dote:
Years ago, as l have been told, q
widowed descendant Of the Audubon
family, in desperate need. sold a per.
feet COPY Of Audubon's Birds" to Q
commercially minded scholar in Amer.
lea for a hundred dollars. The book
was worth a thousand in the market.
The scholar complimented himself up
on his shrewd stroke Of business. That
was not Hammond Trumbull's style.
After the war a l.-dy in the far South
wrote him that among the wreckage
OIL her better days she had . book
which some had told her was worth q
hundred dollars, and had advised her
to offer 1t to him; she added that she
was very poor, and that II he would
buy it at that price. 1t would be q
great favor to her. 1t was Eliots In
dian Bible. Trumbull answered that
II 1t was a perfect copy 1t had an estab
lished market value, like a gold coin.
and was worth a thousand dollars;
that II she would send 1t to him he
would examine it, and II 1t proved to
be perfect he would sell 1t to the Brit
ish Museum and forward the money to
her. 1t did prove to be perfect, and
she got her thousand dollars without
delay, and intact.

Probably no foreigner Will ever know
the cost of constructing the railway
from Shanghai to Woosung, but, says
the North China Daily News, 1t is al
ready clear that 1t Is to become a
means for the usual prodigious
squeezes on the part Of the officials
which are the curse Of all public works
in China. The old railway road to
Woosung still exists. and has for years
been used as a line Of convenient com
munication between Shanghai and
Woosung. and as this road actually be-
longs to the government, 1t would nat
urally be supposed that It would be
made use Of as 1t Is, for the projected
.ailway. Not bit Of 1t; that would
lave been far too simple and inexpen-
sive plan, and would not have sur
fciently lined the pockets of the Of,
ficials, so the new line Is to take a large
curve into the country, crossing the old
railway line more than once, and OF
course running the latter as a roadway
for local traffic, while 1t is for the most
part rejected for the railway. Already
this road is cut across about four miles
from Shanghai and beyond this point

One Good Turn.

Sir Henry Hawkins, who was raised
to the peerage as Baron BramptOn after
long term on the criminal bench, was
q notable terror to evil-doers. Toward
the close of his career, he happened to
arrive at a railway station, and was
at once accOsted by a rough fellow who
seemed very anxious to assist him In
handling his baggage.
Struck by his friendliness, Sir Henry
said: You seem very desirous Of help
ing me, my friend"

man. "You see, sir, once you did me q

Dizziness sometimes passes for depth
Ground that Is barren to seed Is often
rich In gold.
1t Is not the fower-pot that makes
the blossoms.
There is no individual liberty apart
from social responsibility.
There are too many Christians who
are only leavened In spots.
1t only takes two to make a Chris
tian-Christ and the lost one.
Wings Of prayer can carry you where
serpents Of sin cannot crawl.
We cannot create spiritual power,
but we may create rcs conditions.
Public wrongs will not be righted- till
men are saved from personal sin.
Noah, who could face the world, waa
overthrown alone In his own vineyard.
A mans life never rises above ita
perpetual sources, hence the need of
being born from above.
The taste Of the fruits of the tree of
Life forever spoil the appetite for the
bitter weeds of the world.
1t is better to have dog come in and
stir up an excitement among the pews
than to have no interest in the meeting
at all.
