Seven Lean Years.

Brugsch Bey, the Psychologist, SAYS
that it is no longer difficult to understand
the origin of the seven lean years" mar
rative in the book of Genesis. The HER
oglyphic inscriptions translated by him
show that 100 years before the Chris
tian era the Nile for seven consecutive
years did ret overflow and famine, pesti-
lence and misery followed. 1--WE know"
says he. "that the date of the seven years
of fruitiessness mentioned in Genesis
was 17O0 b. c., and thus what has been
looked upon as a fancy has through these
hieFogiyphics become matter of history.
The failure of the Nile to overflow, the
whitening of the vegetation, the lands de-
void of crops, famine and the consequent
scourges are all depicted in the pictures
which the student has been able to de-
eipher"

CAPTURING AN ENGINE.
How a Plucky Engineer Overlook q
Runaway on English Railway.

One of the finest stories in the history
of the railways centers round a runaway
engine on the Stockton and Darlington
line.
The engine was observed by the driver
of another and more powerful one. See
ing the fugitive speeding in the direction
of Darlington he uncoupled his own en-
CINE. crossed the points and set out in
pursuit on the same line. 1t was a long
chase, but the pursuer, driven at top
speed, gradually oyerhauled the run
away.
At last it came near enough for the
driver to crawl to the front of his en-
CINE and drop a stout chain over the ten
der hook of the other. He returned to
his footplate, shut off steam and screwed
down his brake.
This steadied the one in front and so
retarded its pace that the driver was
able now to creep from his own engine
on to the runaway, but on the brake, and
bring it to a standstill. almost in the
crowded Darlington station. - London
