During a flood which swept away several small railroad bridges and quite a stretch of track an operator in a country town along the line saw one of the company's box cars floating down the river. Instantly he sprang ito his key and reported the matter to the main office.

Waxs of Darkest Africa.

In his book, Thinking Black,'' MT. Dan Crawford, who is held in England to be the successor to Livingstone, gives curious picture of his mission ary experiences in Africa. He helped to establish the mission station at Lu- anza, built on cliff overhanging the Great White lake. Here, with unfail- ing success, he preached the gospel to the uttermost parts of Africa, drawing the natives to him from far distant places. On the woman question. he is particularly interesting. He became aware of a secret society which flour ishes in Central Africa. It is a sacred institution with hidden rites and cere- monies. Its purpose is to keep hus- bands in subjection. This is hardly the idea which the civilized world has of the place of woman in Africa, but, as MT. Crawford says, nearly every thing there is reversed, according to white notions.

The teacher of the class in English, says the Detroit Free Press, demanded that the pupils all write for their daily exercise a brief account of a baseball game.
 One boy sat through the period seem ingly wrapped in thought, while the others worked hard and turned in their narratives. After school the teacher approached the desk of the laggard.
 ''I'1l give you five minutes to write that description he sternly said. '1f it is not done by that time I shall punish you.'
 The boy promptly concentrated all his attention upon the theme as the teacher slowly counted the moments. At last, with joyful eagerness, he scratched a line on his tablet and handed it to his master. It read:

UNPRECECDE SPOIIAAGE
 OF THANKSGIVING POULTRY
Department of Agriculture Warns Poultry Dealers to Take Steps to Prevent Similar Losses at
 Christmas.

Washin gton, Dec. 1.-The spoiIage | of dressed poultry during the un- seasonab1y warm weather preceding Thanksgiving Day, according to the specialists in the Department of Agri- culture, was unprecedented. All over the country, market reports around Thanksgiving told but one tale, some what as follows:
 Stock on sale and coming mostly in poor condition"
 ''Only a small percentage of the re- ceipts perfectly sound.
 "A large amount is unfit for food and is being condemned by the health officers.
 Many of the turkeys are streaked with green.
 Many of the chickens are wet, musty and sour.
 ''The ducks and geese are heated and greasy"
 In view of the scarcity of meat foods and their high prices, the specialists taken place in the Thanksgiving poul- try supply as almost a national calam- ity. They are, therefore, urging poultry packers to handle their goods along the line suggested by the Dem onstration car, in order to prevent a repetition of this waste at Christmas time. The value of poultry destroyed in New York City by the Board of Health around Thanksgiving amount ed to more than $10O,OO0, and this, it is stated, is but little when com pared with the quantities which deal CTS refused of their own initiative. Many tons of these products went to the fertilizer pile or crematory. The specialists are positive that not a single pound of this poultry would have been wasted if the shippers and handlers had followed proper methods of chilling, dressing, storing and handling of poultry.

"Hon,e, Sweet Hon-e," Too Pathetie2

"Hon1e, Sweet Home," Too Pathetie2
 Home, Sweet Home,'' the song of homeless American, once moved Rob- ert Louis Stevenson to an outburst of passionate protest. But it was the music rather than the words that reused his indignation. You will find the passage in Across the Plains:' t'I have no idea whether musically this air is to be considered good or bad, but it belongs to that class of art which may best be described as a brutal as- sault upon the feelings. Pathos must be relieved by dignity of treatment. If you wallow naked in the pathetic, like the author of Home, Sweet Home,' you make your hearers weep in an unmanly fashion. and even yet while they are moved they despise themselves and hate the occasion of their weakness"

Matched the Jockeys.

When the Derby was first founded the stewards used to ride along the course to watch the competitors. A separate steward was detailed for each horse, and his duty was to see there was no interference with that horse or his jockey by the other competitors or the public. In a picture of the Derby of 1791 by J. N. Sartorius one of the stewards can be seen riding along gay 1y some lengths in front of the winner.
