month, the payments to apply on the
final purchase money. II is seldom,
however, that railroad rents locomo-
tives. They are usually let out to con-
tractors who construct temporary rail-
ways for hauling dirt from excava-
tions.
Contractors who hire the locomotives
usually have their own names gllded
on them so that the public may suppose
that they belong to them. The engines,
as usual thing, are cast offs. They
may have pulled express trains once,
but now they are only fit to pull gravel
cars. The engineers who work them
are oftentimes also the cast offs of the
profession. They may have operated
express engines, but through careless
ness or other incapacity have been dis
charged from one road after another
until they are only fit to haul gravel or
wood trains.--Philadelph Record.

A BITE IN THE DARK.
The Young Man Liked Jelly, and He
FILLED His Mouth.

A young man whose work keeps him
down town until the early morning
hours usually reaches home with a
sharp appetite. His mother, an in
dulgent mother, too, puts little lunch
out where he can get it, but this fire.
auently fails to satisfy him. His wise
parent knows this. and she saves the
larder from wholesale onslaught by
locking things up.
Now, IL there Is one thing In particu-
lar that this youth dotes upon 1t Is
jelly. But jelly Is an article of food
that takes time and skill in its prep
aration, and If the lady left her jelly
Jars at his disposal-well, there would
be none to dispose of after a few
mornings So the Jelly is locked up
the tightest of all.
The other morning the youth let him
self into the house Just as the gray
streaks of dawn were crossbarring
the eastern sky. There was milk and
bread awaiting him, but his soul
craved for jelly. He determined to
hunt for some. Taking slice Of bread
and knife, he stole down cellar and
searched the fruit shelves. What hap
piness! He dimly made out the out
lines Of n jelly jar. Was there any
jelly in It? He dipped in his knife and
felt the soft and quivering mass. What
a joke on his usually careful mother!
She had actually forgotten to turn the
key on this treasure.
He drew out generous quantity and
carefully spread it on the bread. He
had to do 1t largely by guesswork, be-
cause the cellar was almost totally
dark. When the spreading was done
he smacked his lips lightly and took a
generous bite.
No, it wasn't jelly; 1t was soft SOAP

The Lnrk'a Song.

A writer on "The Wonders OF the
Spring" says that the volume Of sound
produced by the skylark is most won
derful. "The lark ascends until 1t
appears no larger than a midge and
can with difficulty he seen by the un-
aided eye, and yet every note of its
song will be clearly audible to persons
who are fully half a mile from the
nest over which the bird utters its
song.
"Moreover, 1t never ceases to sing
for moment a feat which seems won
derful to us human beings, who find
that n song of six or seven minutes in
length. though interspersed with rests
and pauses, is more than trying. Yet
this bird will pour out "a continuous
song Of nearly 20 minutes in length
and all the time has to support itself
In the air by the constant use of its
wings"
