The Locomotives cnsprine.

When the Canadian Pacific railroad
ran its first train through Maine there
we're a great many people on tie Dor
der who had never seen a train of
cars, and the first work train that
came into one Of the towns caused
nearly all the people to turn cut to
see it. After they had gazed at the
engine and cars for some time the
train pulled on to a siding.
The roadmaster came along on 9
railroad yelocipede and stopped at the
town crossing. In old lady who had
been gazing in wonder at the engine
and ears asked some \ what On
earth that thing was. Come ere II
the crowd told her 1t was a young en-,
CINE. She locked at it steadily for 6
few minutes, and then said: "Wha

Several travelling men, sitting in
the lobby of a local hotel, were talk
ing about aarrow escapes from
drowning. Il saw a rescue once" said
a shoe salesman, that was very un-
usual. A girl at a summer resort up
North fell out OF a boat into a lake.
The III with her lost his oars in his
confusion and drifted away from her.
He couldn't swim, SO he remained in
the boat and yelled. a big athletic
fellow, sitting On the porch of the
hotel by the like, heard the cries and
ran fer the lake ~divesting himself of
his clothes. When he Jumped in the
water he was without q shirt and had
his shoes off. He reached the girl as
she was sinking. The people or the
ba= TX chesred. The drowning girl
CIR. bbed the man and held him in such
a ssay that he eeuld not use his arms.
He tried to shake her off, but couldn't.
Finally he wreIched one arm loose.
Then he drew hack and hit that girl
in the forehead with his fist just as
hard as he could. A roar OF surprise
from the bank turned first into one
Of airgar and then into me of admira-
ton. The girl was Knocked s%enseless.
Grasping her by one arm, the man
then swan with her to the shore. She
was revived and came cut all right.
In explanation of his striking her the
man simply said that il he had not

Explain.
Life is full Of little inexplicable
mysteries, says Pearson's Weekly.
They occur every day, and are passed
by as being merely ordinary. When
ever the conversation turns on tele-
pathy Or the occult sciences there is
always some one with a story of the
mysterious to tell.
About ten years ago, en- a large
open tract of land in the north of
London (noW fortunately covered with
red brick villas, a number Of boys
were playing cricket. Suddenly there
came a loud humming noise, like the
combined droning of thousands Of
bees, and a great stene larger than a
mans fist WEizzed across the center
of the pitch and embedded itself in a
bank. Almost Immediately it was fol-
lowed by another and then d third.
Although they waited in hiding for
some time there was NO repetition Of
the mysterious missiles. The qnea.
ton then arose. Where could they
have come from? The nearest house
was quite 400 yards away, and a ma

THIS distance would be rather an ex-
t~raordinary article of furniture for a
suburban villa. So the cause Of this
remarkable occurrence yet requires
explanation
Ii The same district, a few years
back, four young men were seated in
a room playing whist. Suddenly, just
after midnight, the door, which had
been latched, opened slowly until it
had reached its fullest limit.

but no one was standing in the door

But fer the mysterious instinct that

PASSING OF THE cHATEAUx.
Palaces of the World Coming More

and More Into Public Ownership.
The great royal chateaux, not Of
Touraine only, but of the world, are
all nearing the appointed cid OF
public ownerships. Kings build; pep
pies inherit; the palace in its uses
broadens slowly down to the multi
tude. The smaller houses sometimes
fall by purchase to the middle class;
but that is only the change in n OF
it's stages. The larger ones soon
reach their ultimate destiny Of the
museum and the pleasure-ground; and
this even distinctiyely republican.
Louis XIV. built Versailles; who holds
It now? The caretaker for the man IN
the street. The Louvre is a museum;
the Tuileries has gone-to make way
for a garden. Kensington Palace Is
now among the sights of London.
Windsor Castle is not much more
And lately, when there happened to
be no music for the visitors to the
castle on a public holiday, the royal
band, ito prevent disappointment"
was hastily recalled from a distant
scene. The Tower of London, once
a palace, now holds the regalia that
serve as a toy for the crowd. Pots
dam and Sans-Souci are, for all and
several, in the same sense; so is the
huge Escurial. The Kremlin of the
Cars is no better; and even the Her
mitage. which, strictly speaking, is
one of the halls of the Winter Palace
at St. Petersburg, is a picture gallery
to which all could find their way, un-
til the nihilists threatened its integri-
ty. = y
So passes the glory of the world.
But that glory, il the chateaux of old,
was often so closely allied with shame
and misery and corruption that their
last state, as Fairgrounds for the tour
list, may still be better than the first.
