perience For a Novice.

~ .
There came over me as l sat In the
caboose that evening a wild desire to
ride with the engineer In the cab.
Planning to slip ahead along the half
mile or SO of train at the first stop, !
made known my desire to our con-
ductor over that part of the run.
They'll be glad to see you," he told
me. You won't have any trouble get
tin there. It's a 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 | clearly realized
the entire plan.
1t was a 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 con-
voy 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 assur
ance. 1T sometimes gets nasty when
we get down to zero an a blizzard
comes a-rippin' from off over the lake.
Sometimes you have to get down an
crawl on all tours. 1t wouldn't be
much fun to be swept off the tops Of
those cars"
There was no disputing that, nor
that the three lengthwise planks at
the gable Of the car roofs were not
wide promenades. You jump from one
and a man has got to have something
of a gymnastic training and some cir
Gus as well as railroad blood in his
veins to do it many times without
dropping into n 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 | 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 a tunnel, and
/ understood. We were whirled
through that tunnel like a package in
q tube, and il we had raised our arms
we could have touched the flying roof
Of the bore. The smoke lay heavy in
the place. 1t filed our eyes and nos
trils.
mot real NICE" said Jimmie cheerily.

PARIS R%AGPlCKERS.
An Occupation That Is Passed Along
From Father to Son.


From Father to Son.
The ~ragpickers of Paris are born to
their work. the occupation being PASS
ed from father to son for generations.
Each ragpicker family has its own dis,
trict, which is inherited by the chill.
dren and grandchildren.
In spite of all the progress made in
modern and elegant Paris barrels of
waste are piled up on the streets in
front of many buildings on beautiful
boulevards in the early morning hours,
and it is the privilege and in fact the
mission of the ragpickers to examine
this refuse.
They have use for everything, and
but little is left after they have passed,
their thoroughness being one reason
why the system is still allowed. Ev-
cry scrap of paper has its market;
rags are gathered for paper manufac-
turers; shoes go back to leather deal
ers.
Old sardine and preserved meat tins
are used for making playthings. old
bones produce gelatin and glue. lem
ons and orange peels are greatly
sought after and sold at the rate of d
cent u pound to perfume and strip
manufacturers, old metals are highly
priced, cigar stubs go to tobacco fac
tories. and even stale vegetables are
carried away.

Orioin of the Salute.

The custom of firing a salute in
honor of admirals, captains and other
naval dignitaries, as well as other
forms of greeting, originated in the de-
sire to show the person saluted that
the saluting person was unarmed and
could do the other no injury.
