ENGINE AS A BOOTJACK.
Novel Manner I'm which n Frost-Blt-
ten Brnkeman's Boots Were
Taken on.

at isn't often that you hear OF a
man using a locomotive for boot
jack" said Conductor Frank Ora, Of
the Delaware division of the Erie rail
road, according to recent report,
"but here's one case:
"Walt Douglas, a brakeman on my
coal train, set out one dark night 10
flag passenger train just west of Han
cock. He was out in the bitter cold
for a long while, and when he came
back his fingers and ears were badly
frozen.
"After we had got some whisky
down him and had rubbed his hands
and ears in snow we tried to remove
his boots, but his feet were so badly
frozen that they could not be pulled
off. Douglas is an economical cuss
and he would not let us cut them off his
feet. He said that the boots had cost
him seven dollars a week before and
he could not afford TO lose them so
soon, even if by so doing he would be
relieved of his sufferings
at was finally agreed to take Doug
las out on the engine, stick his boot
heels between the slots of the pilot,
and then back up.
when everything was ready the en-
gineer reversed the engine, while we
clung TO Coleman's arms and shoui-
ders. The boots came of quick enough,
but Douglas legs came so near going
with them that there was no fun in it,"

QUEER TRAVELS OF PLANTS.
icebergs and Volcanoes Act as Dss-
tributing Agents for Various
Growths.

One would not imagine, off-hand,
that ice could possibly be instru-
mental in accomplishing the distribn-
tion Of plants, yet French scientist
has recently called attention 10 the
fact that icebergs are frequently USE
ful in this way. Nayigators in polar
seas often encounter bergs carrying
enormous masses Of debris, with
more or less soil, in which plants are
growing. Eventually the ice-mass
runs aground upon the shore of some
distant land, there depositing the
plants, which may find themselves so
situated as 10 be enabled TO repro
duce their species, says the Philadel-
phia Saturday Evening Post.
The case of volcanoes as plant-dis-
tributors is even more remarkable,
though one<must regard as very ex-
ceptional such instances as that
noted at Port Elizabeth, South Afri-
ca, in 1887, where large quantities of
volcanic pumice were observed float
ing on the sea. On these fragments
of pumice were found various small
animals unfamiliar in that part of
the world, and there was also n sort
of cocoanut The nut was planted,
and in due, time produced a palm
strange TO the African coast. 1t was
decided that the pumice came from
the great eruption of Krakatoa, in
the Straits of Sunda, which was in
its way the most remarkable volcanic
cataclysm of modern times.

A HOSPITAL FOR BIRDS.
cred sufferers Are Treated for
All Kinds of Diseases

In the Woman's Home Companion
Elizabeth Kinney has an article on
a Hospital and Boarding House for
Birds" She has the following about
the reception of birds in this unique
home:
They are brought to the hospital
with all kinds OF diseases, for they
are afflicted almost the same as man.
They are treated for colds, sore
throats, asthma, consumption, dys-
pepsia fevers, paralysis. constipa-
ton, diarrhea, and even corns, and
a lot OF other things with names as
big as the small sufferers themselves.
They are variously treated. just as
human patients are, and oftentimes
the same remedies are applied 20
them.
First of all each bird received into
the institution, whether il Is sup
posed TO be well or IN, is carefully
examined, and his nails clipped when
found too long, which they frequent
" are. Then il he is a well bird he
is taken to the boarding house.
while IL he is sick he is placed In
the hospital, put on a diet and sub
iected TO such treatment as may be
deemed most necessary for him.

experience OF the days OF his ambu-
lance service. A hurry cali was re-
ceived one day, and he with the am
bulance was dispatched with great
haste TO a tenement in one of the poor
er parts OF the city. He climbed sew
eral flights of stairs and found at the
top family gathered in a dismantled
room, surrounded by their goods and
chattels, evidently ready 10 move.
The patient had been burned, the
doctor knew, but he failed TO discover
signs OF one until the mother of the
family explained ;hat she was the vic
tim and amiably volunteered the in.
formation that she was ready TO 90 10

remarkably healthy accident case, and
the young physician explained that he
would Lave to-U1akc an examination
