TOM cYpHER's GHOST.
n Cut Some Terrifying cspsrs on HE
Old Engine No. SO. 80

OLD engine NO. %
Out along the Northern Pacific,
in the far, far west, you can find
very probably engineers and other
railway men of years and experience
who still can tell you the story of
Tom Cypher's ghost and its terrhy-
ing runs on No. 33.
1t was at the Eagle gorge, in the
Cascades, way out in Washington,
that CIPHER died at his post. And
this was in 1890.
As the story goes, engineer after
engineer, approaching the point
where CIPHER died would be con-
fronted by the sudden full stare of
a locomotive headlight. AS usual
thing the man thus seeming to face
catastrophe would bring his train to
a full stop. Then would the light re-
treat up the road as if the engine
which bore it were being run with
the lever reversed.
One who, on an occasion, rode
with the driver of the Overland ex-
press, saw this ghostly headlight for
himself.
"Stop the train, manw he cried
to his friend in the cab.
"Oh, it's nothing" said the en-
gineer, one who had previously stop
ped for that very same appearance
Of peril. "The man who is running
that engine ahead of us can run it
faster backward than l can run this
one forward"
And so it proved. So it ever prov
ed, the men declared who kept up
the legend. The light was on Tom
Cypher's old engine, No. 33, and no
express train ever Travelled swiftly
enough to catch it.
Daring repeaters of this tale Of
the road would declare that No. 33
had been known to come into
Sprague unnamed, her coal ex-
hausted and her boxes burned out.
That is as may, be. Perhaps it is
true that no good ghost story was
ever the worse for being somewhat
expanded in detail.-Chicago Jour-
nal.

Eating Should Be Pleasure.

Feeding the machine called the
human body is not any more diff
cult than feeding a locomotive, says
a widely known food expert and
medical man. The question of prop
er diet is, from a practical stand
point, neither complex nor diff
cult matter, in spite of the rampant
theories of food specialists, dietetic
experts and other faddists. Eat
plain, simple food in moderate
quantities twice or three times
daily. Eat in such a manner that
it is a pleasure pleasurable, natu-
raj act, not a surgical operation.
Then the food will digest as it
should and will be properly convert
ed into heat, thought and motion
that is, into vitaity-and fancy
foods, while they may create energy
for a time, weaken and destroy a
sound digestion.-Health Culture.

Siberian Bees and Bee Masters.

One would never think of Siberia
as a suitable home for bees or the
practice of agriculture. Yet bees
are maintained by the peasants of
that region, and swarms of wild
bees are to be found in the birch
forests. Those who keep bees in
Siberia bear the title of bee masters.
Some of these have no more than
four swarms, but many have fifty or
a hundred, and certain "bee lords"
own five OF six hundred. The aver
age annual income in Siberia from
a swarm of bees is about a ruble
and a half. In certain localities
buckwheat is sown to serve as a
pasture" and occasionally the bees
are fed with sugar strip or treacle,
but for the most part the swarms
feed on wild flowers along the bor-
ders of the great rests.-Harper's.

The African Ega Eater.

A curious snake is the African
egg eater which swallows eggs three
times the diameter of its body. Its
jaws are almost toothless, but few
small hooks far back enables it to
grip its food. AS the egg slips
through the stretched jaws into the
gullet its shell is cut by a row of
knifelike points of bone inferior
processes of the neck vertebrae)
which project into the throat. BY
this adaptation all wastage is avoid
ed, and the crushed shell may be
elected later from the stomach or
remain there and be dissolved. All
snakes are fond of eggs and are
among the most persistent robbers
of nests in trees as well as on the
ground. Our active blacksnake is
especially capable at this villainy.

Reduced Parcel Post Rates.

The Postmaster General has an
nounced a coming reduction in
parcel post rates which should be
of much interest to the public and
to those who are engaged in mail
order merchandising.
The changes, as explained in the
Courier-Journal's Washington dis.
patches, apply to the first and Sec
ond zones. The maximum weight
limit, which at present is eleven
pounds, is raised to twenty pounds.
The present rate for the first or
local. zone is 5 cents for the first
pound and l cent for each addi-
tional pound up to eleven pounds.
The new rate in this zone will be
5 cents for the first pound and l
cent for each additional two
pounds up to twenty pounds. The
present rate for the second zone,
which embraces territory within a
150-mile air line radius, is 6 cents
for the first pound and cents for
each additional pound up to eleven
pounds. The new rate will be 5
cents for the first pound and 1
cent for each additional pound up
to twenty pounds.
The new rates will become effec-
tive on August Is. 1t is expected
that further reductions in other
zones will be made later on.
About one-third of all the parcel
post business, however, is done in
the first two zones, and the
changes to take effect next month
are expected greatly to increase
the use of the parcel post. The
recent regulation which permits
the use of ordinary stamps on
packages, instead of the distinct
i've stamps at first required, will
facilitate the parcel post business
and make it more popular with
the masses.
The new Postmaster General is
working along the right line for
the development of this most i'm
portant branch of the postal de-
partment. Parcel post business
already is growing at a rate which
exceeds all estimates, and it will
be stimulated to marked degree
by the reduction in rates.

Would Be practically Harmless.
Suppose mailman obtained pos
session Of the many millions of dis
ease germs stored away in the cul-
ture tubes in the numerous bacteri-
ologists' laboratories in New York
city and cast them loose in the
streets or, because Of an explosion,
the same deadly germs were sent
adrift. What would happen3
This question was put to the di-
rector of the research laboratory OF
the health department, after several
persons had had it put up to them,
each in his own way advancing what
would probably and possibly hap
pen. !.
Some of these persons figured
that the air would become poison
ed; that men, women, children and
even animals would be stricken with
the tiny microbes, and that in an
incredibly short time the streets
would be filled with pale and bag
gard citizens, dying by thousands.
Quarantine and health depart
ments would become helpless or use
less, they say. Business would come
to a standstill, and in what had
been a community of healthy, active.
citizens there would be windrows
of corpses, from which a pestilence
the like of which history has never
known would spread everywhere.
That there is not the slightest
likelihood this ever could happen is
the opinion of the bacteriologist,
who, commenting upon this imagin-
ed condition, says:
"What would happen if a bottle
filled with disease germs were bro
ken OF were scattered from build
ing? Why, nothing so far as the
citizens were concerned. Whether
scattered from building or drop
ped in the street, the result would
be the same. The entire outfit OF
germs would die in the course OF
half an hour. The sunlight would
kill them, or, if there were no sun
shining, then the air would accom-
plish the same result, although not
in the same time.
"The chance of any one being in
fected by the germs would be about
one to a thousand. In the first
place, one must consider that these
SO called terrible germs are abso-
lutely harmless unless they enter
the system. through the mouth and
in that fashion get into the blood.
One might cover himself from hand
to foot with the little things, but so
long as they did not get into the
blood there would be no danger OF
contracting any disease.
"Of course if some maniac man
aged to get hold of a great quantity
of typhoid or diphtheria germs and
spilled them into the reservoir the
probabilities are that a great
amount of harm would result, but
taking matters on the whole don't
think the public need lie awake
nights in dread of a horrible and
all enveloping cloud of unfettered
germs" New York Press.

A Good Business for Young Men
and Young Women.

Many people fail to understand
how inviting the work Of the
teacher is today; and too fire.
quentlv, when parents come to
decide upon the career their sons
or daughters are to follow, they
fail to give consideration to the
teaching profession. 1t is true
that the salaries Of teachers are
not what they should be; yet,
graduates of the Louisiana State
Normal School, on account of
their extensive preparation, re-
ceive fair salaries. Last summer,
all young lady graduates obtain
ed positions paying from $50 to
SIS pen month. Several men
were placed at 500 and more per
month. There are other consid-
erations, however,, besides those
of money. The opportunity for
service to State and society, for
study and self-improvement, for
social intercourse and humanita-
rian work-th these items should be
considered when the teaching
profession is compared with the
work of clerks, bookkeepers,
stenographers, telegraph and
telephone operators, bank en-
ployees, and even missionaries
The Louisiana State Norma
School, domiciled at Match
toches, La, was established b!
the State for the training o:
teachers, and its graduates ar
exempt from teachers examlna
tons. 1t has an extensive plan
and a full equipment for it's work
