To cure warts on the hands, rub q lit.

1t is not generally known that castor

added to the juice If the orange is not
sweet. The difference between this and
any other mode of taking this valuable
medicine is surprising.

TraxeIlne with the Freight.

There came over me a. I sat In the
caboose that evening, wild desire to
ride with the engineer In the cab. Plan.
ming to slip ahead along the half-mile or
30 Of train at the first stop, made
known my desire to our conductor over
that part of the run.
"Tbey'll be glad to see you," he told
me. "You won't have any trouble get
tim there. It's q mild evenin'." He
swung open the window of the lookout
and called to his rear brakeman, "Jim-
mie, run along with this here party"
Jimmie pulled me through the window
of the lookout before l clearly realized
the entire plan.
It was slippery path over the roofs
of sixty cars to the big engine that was
pulling us, and the wind that swept in
from the shores of the ice-bound lake,
along which the tracks ran for many
miles, snapped sharply over those car
roofs. Jimmie hung on to his lantern
with one hand, to his convoy with the
other. Long miles over those slippery
car roofs had taught him to regard it as
no very serious business.
"This amt nothin'," was his as
surance. at sometimes gets nasty when
we get down to zero an blizzard comes
a-rippin' from off over the lake. Some
times you have to get down an crawl on
all fours. It wouldn't be much fun to
be swept of the tops of those cars"
There wss no disputing that; nor that
the three lsngthwise planks at the gable
OF the car roofs were not wide prone
nades. You jump from one to another
to cross from car to car, and man has
got to have something of a gymnastic
training, snd some circus as we'll as rail-
road blood in his veins, to do 1t many
times without dropping into one of the
hideous dark abysses between them.
A hand out of the dark slapped me in
the face. Drop" said Jimmie, and
fearing possibly that I might not obey,
he pulled me fat down upon the car
roof.
"That was a 'telltale'! he explained,
and before could ask further we were
in a short reach of tunnel, and / under
stood. We were whir!ed through that
tunnel like package in tube, and If We
had raised our arms we could have touch
ed the flying roof of the bore. The
smoke lay heavy in the place; 1t filled
our eyes and nostrils.
"Not real NICE" said Jimmie, cheerilv.
"But no danger in the holes, save now
and then an icicle gets crack at your
nut. You see there amt much use in
arguin' the matter after that 'telltale'
strikes you."-Harper's Magazine.
