WAITING FOR THE TRAIN.

master greets big black and white
dog which every evening trotS down
to the station in a small Pennsyl-
vania town to meet the train on
which his master used to come
home. The indianapolis Sentinel
tells the story:
Ribs master has not come on the
train for many months. He was the
conductor of a train which was
wrecked and was killed. But Ribs
has never missed a train. He stands
on the platform wagging his tail,
his tongue hanging out, an express
sion of anxious hope in his big eyes,
waiting for his master.
When one of the trainmen ex-
plains, "He amt on this train," the
red tongue goes slowly back into
the big mouth, the strong jaws close,
the shaggy tail drops, and Ribs
turns and walks back to his kennel.
But on the following day he ap-
pears promptly in time for his mas
ter's usual train and waits until
some one Of the plying train hands
tells him, "He amt come in yet"

First Cellar In New Orleans.

Extraordinary results have fol-
lowed the establishment of the new
drainage system in New Orleans, in
that cellars can now be dug and tall
buildings erected, things that were
impossible before. The drainage
canals are kept clear by constant
pumping and are rapidly drying out
the soil, not only the surface water
from drains, but the soil water as
well, while the dampness due to
approximation of the ground has
disappeared. Formerly water could
be struck two feet below the sur
face, but now it is necessary to 60
down six feet for it. A twelve story
addition to one of the large hotels
is going up, and the first cellar ever
dug in New Orleans will be under
it. Only one serious sinkage has
occurred, that on a railroad opposite
the French market, which was due
to a quicksand beneath the bed of
the roadway. The general health
of the city has been greatly i'm
proved.-Iron Age.

Spurqeon Rebuked.

conversation with her on various
topics.

Kelvedon, in Essex, where Spur
geon first saw the light, and the
preacher, who dearly loved a joke,
pointed from the window and re-
marked:

preacher"
The lady looked at him with a
stony stare for some time and then
replied:
'1f st. Paul had been passing his
birthplace he would have said, a
very great sinner was born there,
Mr.. Sturgeon"
1t was the first intimation which
the preacher had that he had been
recognized by his travelling COM
panion.

CONDENSED STORIES.
How a Mild Man Cot the Best of Two
impairment Women.


Frederick Gerhard told an anus
ing story of railway tunnel.
GA friend of mine," he said, "sat
reading in the parlor car of a train
when two women entered. After
that he read in comfort no longer,
for it happened that he was dressed
in English clothes of a pronounced
type, and to these clothes the wom-
en- for some reason took exception.
They snickered in my friends face;
they kept whispering to one anoth-
er, with giggles and sidewise glances
at him; they kept saying in tones
that he could hear:
"Did you ever see such a shirt?
"Pot hats-fried egg hats-you
call those things
"Don't the trousers fit funny?
'My friend is a mild man, but
after ten or fifteen minutes of this
adverse criticism his blood began to
boil. He asked himself how he could
get even with the women. While
he was revolving various schemes
in his mind the train entered long
black tunnel, and Immediately a
happy thought came to him.
"Half way through the tunnel he
put the back of his hand to his
mouth and kissed it violently and
noisily four or five times. The wo-
men after that were silent. He
watched them when the train came
out into the light again, and it
pleased him to see how strangely
they looked at one another. He,
for his part, looked at them in an
equally strange way. For a long
time he looked at them; then he
said:

kissed me in the tunnel p"
