THE WRECK MASTER.
He Clears the Track Regardless OF
What Undestroyed but Obstruct-
ing Freight Cars May Contain.

When a wreck blocks the line the
wreck master Is the biggest man on
the railroad. Even the president, IL
by unhappy chance be happens to be
there, steps aside and keeps silent aft
er the wreck train halts with a Jerk
Of grinding brakes and kissing air be-
fore the indescribable confusioa Of
shattered wood and twisted steel
which clutter the tracks. The wreck
masters feet are on the ground before
the shrieking wheels have ceased turn
ing. There follow at his heels a half
score Of men, all experts. but OF less
degree than their leader.
He shouts an order that seems as
unintelligible as n drillmaster's COM
mand, then another and another.
There is instant action. At one end
Of the train a locomotive begins to
creep cautiously away with the coach
es that have stayed on the rails. An
express car up toward the forward end
of the passenger train Is tilted trem-
blingly on Its trucks. It Is loaded with
bales Of silk perhaps or with other
costly merchandise The wreckers do
not stop to inquire. To them 1t Is
simply an obstruction that has to be
removed Immediately. There Is a
heaying chorus. and it plunges down
thek embankment. A hundred yards
away q loaded freight car In the op-
posite train Is hanging over the edge.
Fifty crowbars give 1t tip that sends
1t down to the foot Of the hill. AS 1t
lands there Is a crash Of discordant
tortured strings. an inharnonious out
burst IS though half a hundred cats
had landed simultaneously on half
a hundred keyboards. Pianos" No
marks one Of the painting workuen to
another standing at his shoulder. They
do not pause even to grin. An instant
later they are heaving away at some
thing else.-Thaddeus g Dayton In

Persian Prayer RUGS.

About 200 years ago small embroid-
cred rugs were largely made in Per
STA, chiefly at Ispahan. These were
prayer rugs. and on each OF them near
one end was small embroidered
mark to show where the bit OF sacred
earth from Mecca was to be placed.
In obedience to a law Of the Koran.
that the head must be bowed TO the
ground In prayer. this was touched
by the forehead when the prostra;ion
was made. and so the letter OF the
law was carried out. The custom still
prevails. The Persian women who
weave the finest prayer rugs seldom
weave any other kind Of rug.

CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
BY w. A. MACY.
THE FIRST OMNIBUSES.

In 1862 a company Of prom
inent men In Paris organized for
the purpose Of providing cheap
transportation for those who
could not afford carriages. Pas
Gal, the great writer. was the
originator Of the scheme and
one Of the company. King Louis
XIV. Issued a royal decree, In
accordance with the compsny's
desires, authorizing the estab-
lishment Of line of two-pence
half-Penny omnibuses, "for the
benefit" SO the decree ran, "of
a great number of persons III
provided for, as persons en-
gagged In lawsuits, Infirm peo-
Pile, and others, who have not
the means to ride in chaise or
carriage" The decree express
ly provided that the omnIbuses
should run at fixed hours, full
or empty and from certain ex-
treme quarters of the city. The

10, 1862, at seven o'clock in the
morning. Great Interest was
taken In the matter, and Il was
made a festive occasion. The
line was started with seven
coaches, with seats for eight
persons. Four started from one
side Of the city and three from
the opposite side. Each was &C
companled by a military escort,
and there was much rejoicing.
For time the omnIbuses were
very popular. Everybody want
ed to ride. The king himself
tried It. Many people who had
coaches of their own waited a
week before they could get tick
cts for the new conVeyances.
But the novelty soon wore off,
the rich rode In their own car
riages as before, the poor took
to walking again, and the COM
pany went out of business be-
fore the end Of the year. After
this failure 1t was a century and
a half before another experiment
of the kind wac tried.

Efficiency in Advertising.

One principle of successful adver-
Using, as practised by department
store al writer's and other special
lists on publicity, is to give definite
descriptions of the goods offered
When merchant uses such phrases
as '"The best and the cheapest" AMI
Biggest assortment a ID lowest
prices" he convinces no one. The
reader argues that anyone can use
these catch words anl they prove
nothing.
The most successful advertising is
not apt to sound like an attempt to
persuade. It is more a statement
of facts. The reader is given ma
terial by which he forms his own
mental picture of the goods.
For this purpose try definite and
detailed though very brief deserip-
ton. Get manufacturers of your
lines to give you some definite facts
about how the goods are put to-
gether, so that you can give some
real reasons why goods are superior.
Pick out some special bargains;
describe them as above indicated,
and put in the price and the real
value you believe them to have.
Don't bother about fiowery language
What the buyer wants is cold facts
treason why advertising is what
brings the buyer around.
