Loading Freight by Cards.

II don't know whether the practice
is still kept up in the far south, but
remember how tickled was at seeing
the method used in loading goods into
freight cars down in Mississippi some
while ago." said a railroad man of St
Louis.
"a lot Of strapping black fellows will
be on the job under the supervision Of
a white man, who will be issuing Or
ders with great volubility. Put this
aboard the king of diamonds; take this
to the ace Of hearts; load this on the
ten of spades; this to the jack of clubs
and so on, and then you'll notice each
one of the long line of freight cars has
tackled on it some one of the fifty-two
cards composing full deck. The SEN
egambian lOafers for the most part
were ignorant of letters and figures,

Newport boy. He, with his little
brothers and sisters, was being taught
natural history by his governess
through the fundamentally of a game.
The game was called 'Barnyard' One
child was a turkey, another a duck, a
third a calf, and so on. A noisy, de-
lightful game, and much natural his

THE SAFETY OF THE SEA.


The landsman. safe in his snug bed,
pities the poor sailor, whose narrow
berth swings at the mercy of the waves.
The tar" on the other hand, feels
more security among the tumbling bill

point Of view, and backs up his argu-
ment with personal experience.
Its safer than on shore, that's my
opinion, though, mind you, 1 never
really liked the sea. For eight years I
never put out without being seasick.

CHAPTER VIII.

Breen was not wholly unconscious of
danger when the large bundle of New
York papers was brought with the mails
into the library. The ladies had busted
themselves over a joint epistle from Mr..
Stansbury, and were scanning the front
pages of the journals, when a sudden
exclamation from Mrs. Stansbury init
mated the ugly truth. Breen was chang
ed from guest to outlaw. Miss Stansbury
followed her mother upstairs, the former
bearing the paper with her. A second
account of the demoralizing incident was
not difficult to find. Breen read the fol-
lowing hastily:
