and, before he could seize the reverse

and, before he could seize the reverse
lever, he felt the sickening scrunch
Of wheels passing over a human body.
The sound was still in his ears when he
awoke. Naturally enough the vision
preyed on his mind, and when it began
to repeat itself at intervals of two or
three nights, he soon became thor
oughly unnerved. The dream was al
ways precisely the same, and after sew
eral weeks Of mental torture he walked
into the superintendent's Office and
threw up his job. To have assigned the
real cause might have laid him open
to suspicion of insanity. so he merely
said he was tired Of place which
promised no promotion and let 1t go at
that The higher officials had already
observed his superior intelligence. and
the reason he gave for his resignation
rather raised him in their opinion; SO
a few months later, when they needed
a yardmaster at an important point,
they set regulations aside and gave
him the place. From that he climbed
to train dispatcher, then assistant
division superintendent, then traffic
agent, and so on up, until he is now
general manager Of one Of the best
lines in the north, at a salary Of $751;
600 year. If he had stayed at the
throttle he might have risen in time,
but the chances are that he would have
missed the foodtide Of fortune. A sim
gular feature of the story is that his
old engine really did kill man about
three weeks after he left it. The poor
fellow was lying on the track in good
deal the way the figure appeared in the
dream, and 1t was never known wheth-
er he had been sandbagged or had
dropped there from exhaustion. In
looking up his history it was found
that he was an old tramp who had once
been man of means, and years before
was stakeholder in that very road.
1 OF course that circumstance has no
particular bearing on the other facts,
but it adds to the general strangeness
of the case. In relating the story in my
presence, the general manager re-
marked that 1t was a long time before
he ventured to tell anybody the true
reason why he had quit his engine.

WHITE MEN IN THE TROPICS.
They Are Unable 10 stand the Heat
ms Well an Natives OF the
Warmer Climates.

Truxtun Beale holds that the evil eff
fects Of hot climates on the white man
are being overcome by science. Here
tofore he has had to labor hard, and
thus reduce his vitality, but now the
rapidly increasing labor-saving ma
chinery Is saving him much muscular
labor and shortening his hoursof work.
Then clothing, and housing and drain
age, and all sanitation have been great
ly improved, and proper ventilation
and artificial ice have come to lessen
the detrimental influences Of the eli
mate. Mr.. Beale cites the many cases
of the Chinese adapting themselves to
oil climates, says the New York Herald.
The Philadelphia Medical Journal,
not falling into line with this argu-
ment, says: "No mechanical contriv-
ance for performing labor is likely to
be devised that will operate without hui
man guidance, and If such machinery
is operated by steam, gas or electricity
additional heat must be generated
somewhere. It is as much the direct
rays OF the sun as the work that kills
by sunstroKe; this is evident from the
large number of Transfers who are af-
fected during any unusually. hot days
in summer in our large cities.
at is improbable that the poor viii
ever be able to profit much BY artificial
ice or cooling apparatus, and even il
they could afford it this would necessi-
tate some one to work in intense heat
to manage the power needed to run
such a plant.
"The Chinese coolie can hardly be
compared with the white worlkingman.
{nthe first place, he is not white man,
and, furthermore, centuries of life like
pack horses have given these men many
of the characteristics of beasts. Then,
again, the heat and moisture of the
tropics are most favorable to germ life,
and unless some means is discovered
(which is very unlikely that will de.
stroy bacterial life without injuring
other forms Of life, the problem of com
batting disease in the tropics will always
be difficult one. No doubt conditions
in the tropics will be improved so that
the more prosperous classes can live
with fair degree of safety and COM
fort, but it seems very improbable that
the working classes, which constitute
the great masses of the population, will
ever be made of anything but native.

Her Choice.

'She walked into the store with an
expression of disgust on her face, her
nose tiptilted to an angle that pre-
surpassed the immediate presence of a
glass of Croton water, and blase
I-wish-I-were-dead insouciance.
"She turned over some handker-
chiefs, sampled some neckties, glanced
at some silks, scrutinized some gloves,
picked up an umbrella or two, and
finally arrived at the hat department.
There she sat down YEARLY and asked
to be shown a stylish chapeau."
"Yes!-yes!" exclaimed his listen

THE FORSAKEN GRAVEYARD.

NO costly granite marks the graves.
NO fresh-cut flowers grace.
NO new-made footprints in the clay
To tell a well-loved place:
Only few old, tottering stones
Grown weary with the years
with faded letters worn and dim.
But more with rain than tears.
Across grave with sunken breast
A imid wild rose creeps;
VINO knows but meath its perfumed leaves
a plying heart II keeps?
Sometimes a wild bird rests upon
crumbling rock and sings:
Who knows but from plying heart
That tender note he brings?
Here lies grave so short and small.
IWould touch a mothers heart;
WITHIN some breast at some sweet time
1t held a larger part
ana here around a faded name
are green and clinging vines;
VINO knows with what plying touch
The tender ivy twines?
And here's long and narrow grave.
with naught TO mark the place
Except a blue forget-me-not
That lifts its dainty face;
But who can say # blooms less fair
Upon the pauper's bed
Ihan where yon tOttering stone Is seen
Above his neighbor's head?
The wind blows sadly through the pines;
Alone, II seems to sigh.
Forgotten. whisper low the leaves
That rustic softly by.
But ahl We do not need to lie
Beneath a stone to be
Forgotten and alone; perhaps
They live In memory.
