Railway Secrets.

riage wheel. 1t must be, in the nature OF
things, a crank axle, and 1t may be I'M

massive cranks add to the strain.

gallons of water. If ne carelessly uses
more he will exhaust his supply. Wind
has to be allowed for, and wet lines always
mean delay.
There are two or three hundred signal
men to be passed; each of them has his
share in the punctuality of the train. one
careless platelayor among nearly LOO who
look after the line between england $ ana
Scotland's capital may delay the train by
his failure to screw m "A fish bolt. The

from South America discovered on the
Nroute to Oruro, in Bolivia, a tribe oil
fetch redskins worshlping Bismarck
as a god. Last year, when the drought
threatened their harvest, they offered
prayers to their usual idols, but all to no
avail. Their chief, having seen at an
immigrant armcr's hut the picture of the
Iron Chancellor cut out from an illustrated
German paper, asked the farmer to make
him "a present of the print, which request
was willingly agreed to. Thereupon the
Indians took the picture in great process
sion to their temple. and, strange to say
a welcome rain watered the lands of the
tribe. Since that time the deity az the
Chancellor, whom the Indians caD BIN
barko, is firmly established, and al Kinds
Of reptiles are offered up to him in sacri-

e<COFFEE-TEA" is the common bey-
erage of the natives of Java and
NSumatra. When required for infu-
sion the coffee leaves are gathered
FRESH from the trees and are dried in Il

brown. They are then put into a teapot,
boiling water is poured over them, and the
infusion is drunk with milk and SUGAR.
1t seems the general opinion that coffee
