A Railroad of Curves.

The first railroad west of the Allie
ghanies was built from Lexington to
Frankfort, Ky, in 1881. The road
was laid out with as many curves as
possible, the engineers declaring that
this was an advantage. The cars
we're in two storie., the lower fol-
women and children, the upper for
men, four persons being seated in
each compartment. The cars were
at first drawn by mules, but after
a time a locomotive was made by a
Lexington mechanic. The tender was
a big box for wood, and a hogshead
was provided for water which was
drawn in buckets from convenient
wells. In place of a cowcatcher there
were two poles in front fitted with
hickory brooms for sweeping the
track.

Morgan and the Sufferer.

A young reporter on the New York
Sun, who suffered fearfully, was sent
one day to try to get a. statement
from Mr.. J. Pierpont Morgan.
Who and what are you?" de-
handed Mr.. Morgan.
In moments of surprise or nervous
excitement the reporters stammering
always became acute, so he stood
with jaws locked, vainly trying to
speak. :,
Mr.. Morgan began to fume, and
finally he sputtered:
What in the devil are you?'
The reporters sense of humor did
not share the clogging up OF his
speech, and, after much facial con-
tortion, he managed to gurgle out:
"I-I-I-aaaa-m an elocutionist.
MI. Morgan saw the joke, he grim
ly relaxed and when the reporters
speech-consciousness returned he got
the statement.-Saturday Evening

ONLY"

Matt. 17:8.)
Naught that I do
Can my salvation win,
No strivings of my own
Can purge away my sin:
But Jesus only" shed His blood for me,
To wash away my sins and set me free.
No look within
To feelings of my owl,
Can make salvation sure
Or for my sins atone;
The Lord 1s;S on Christ the sins OF all hath
And Jesus only" hath atonement made.
No creed of mine,
Howe'er correct it be-,
Can save my soul and give
Eternal life to me;
Through "Jesus only" comes the gift d.
vine,
Through Him alone eternal life is mine.
No need to wait!
Fen while I waiting stand
The years may pass,
And death be nigh at hand:
Now, Saviour of the lost, / come to Thee,
With Jesus only" for my only plea.

Twenty Die in Snow.

A remarkable disaster has over
taken the exploring expedition Of
Duke Adolf Friedrich, of Mecklen-
burg, in the volcanic region in the
extreme northwestern corner of Ger
man East Africa. In the crater OF
Branca, one of the lower mountains,
the party was overtaken by a terrible
snowstorm and twenty of the black
contingent, nearly half of the expedi-
ton, were frozen to death about
ninety miles south of the Equator.
The report has the official indorse-
ment of Duke Adolf Friedrich, who
subscribed his name to it and it was
written in his behalf during his ILL
ness
