At a certain exhibition there was a qonster engl! n view. I walked around | jt and soielnniy, SeCTIOUSIY @Xamineud if. sow, I know nothing in the world about | engines, | ut I asked a young gentleman in charge:

*What is the horsepower of this?’’

“The engineer has just gone to his din- | par,” said the young gentleman politely | “That's a pity,’’ Il remarked. ‘I have come specially from Huddersfield, and I fave my train to catch. Never mind. I'll

get gue somew here else.

“Can't you wait?’’ anxiously asked the

tleman.

Tlooked at my friend doubtfully.

“Well,” I said, ‘‘we might catch the 9:46.”

“Do,” said the gentleman, who was the geretary Of the company. ‘‘May I offer you a glass of wine?”’

We went and had a glassof wine to- gther, and on our return we found the man who drove the engine had returned jorriediy from his half finished meal. He pad taken his coat off, tucked up his geeves, and he poured oil all over that huge engine and set it in motion by some mibtle process best known to himself. Peavy balls began whirling round, wheels whirred and piston rods quivered and steel pulses came to life. A crowd gathered ground the leviathan, and the engineer ex-

ed the engine in all its bearings. sfected great interest, but dared make no tual observations, or I should have be- @ayed my supreme ignorance of the whole thing. However, I said I had no doubt it gould do, and I inquired the price.

“About £750.”’

Then I asked:

“Would it come cheaper by taking two?”

The man looked in amazement. ‘‘No,” be said.

“Have you anything smaller?”

“Yes; you can have asmaller one; price b proportion—say about £500.”

“Have you anything about 420?”

“‘Quewr American Rivers’’ is the title of an article in St. Nicholas written by Mr. Spearman. The author says of western rivers:

All tho rivers of the plains are alike full of yellow mud, because the soil of the plains melts at the touch of water. These areour ependthrift rivers, full to the banks at times, but most of the year desperately in neel of water. It is only with the greatest effort that they can keep their places in the summer. scanty thread of water strung along a great, rambling bed of sand to restrain Dame Nature from revoking their licenses to run and turning them into cattle ranches.

No wonder that respectable fish refuse to have anything to do with such streams ard refuse tempting offers of free worms, free transportation and protection from ibe fatal nets. Fancy trying to raise a family of little fish end not knowing one day where water is coming from the next!

Not but what there is water enough at times. (nly those rivers of the great | plains, like the Platte and the Kansas and | the Arkansas, are so wasteful of their sup- ply.in tho spring that by July they are gasping for ashower. So part of the year

they revel in luxury, and during the rest | they go shabby, like shiftless people

HE WAS A REMINDER. Polite Drummer and the Lady Who Told Him Something Startling.

The drummer who was talking bad a jerky style of speech as if he were afflicted with St. Vitus’ dance of the vocal chords or some similar difficulty. ‘‘Had a blamed funny experience once,"’ he said. ‘‘Had plenty, I suppose, but this was different. It was out on the Southern Pacific. Don’t know what town it was. Don't know what state. Perbaps it was a territory. As many territories along that road as there are states. That’s all right. Ast the town I’m talking about a pretty woman about 25 got aboard. Pretty women scarse as bhen’s teeth in that country. Hadn't seen one fora month. Couldn’t keep my eyes At last couldn’t stand it any longer. Got up and went over to her. Asked her if I couldn’t raise the window for her. She said I couldn’t. Takes a strong man to raise a car window some- times. Asked her if I couldn’t let her have a paper ora book. She said I couldn’t. ried hor again on buying something from the train butcher. Wouldn’t have it. Of- fered to get ber a glass of water. Wasn't dry. Tried everything I knew. Got turned down every time. The Jast time I tried was with a game of whist. Whist was all the rage in the east, I told her. She said she didn’t play. ‘Then she looked at me for a minute—maybe it was longer. Then she spoke.

‘“*Do you know whe you remind me of?’ says she, looking at me admiringly.

“‘*No,’ says I. ‘Is in some dear dead friend of yours?’ said I, trying to do the funny act.

‘“**Not exactly,’ said she, laughing; ‘not exactly, but of one that will be dead in about seven seconds after my husband sets eyes on him at the next station.’

‘**What’s the name of it, madam?’ says I, making believe I was ready.

‘* *Morseville,’ yelled the brakeman.

‘**That’s it,’ says she, laughing more than ever. And I feli all over myself try- ing to make connection with the sleeper at the far end of the train.’’—Washington Star.

Jimmy's Dreadful Deeds,

In front of a building which bears the sign ‘Society For the Prevention of Cruel- ty to Children”’ two women and a small boy stood waiting fora car. The mother

, of the smali boy was telling the other

woman all the dreadful things Jimmy bad done recently, while the culprit iis- tened with evident delight.

“And yesterday be chopped a leg off the

doll, and Um sure I don’t know what on earth to—Jimimy!”

have unfaithful, lazy men either connect- ed with you in business oremployed about your premises? The moment that our faith in the doctrine cf ‘‘total depravity”’ is the most rigorous and active is when we see men and boys whom we have treated liberally and kindly neglect their duties and ‘‘loaf’’ about the streets or in bed when they should be at their posts. These unfaithful people, however, do not seem to be aware that their indifference and indolence work more to their own dis- advantage than to that of their employers, and because they are treated kindly they too frequently fancy that tReir services are indispensable about an establishment

We have met with several instances of this sort in our cwn experience, and we would exhort that portion of our readers who may be employed in either large or small establishments to be careful lest they fall into this lazy, faithless, negligent habit. When you act faithfully toward your employer, you act still more faithful- ly toward yourself.—New York Ledger.

Absolute Surrender,

A little child was one day playing with a very valuable vase, when he put his hand into it and could not withdraw it. His father, too, tried his best to get it out, but allin vain. They were talking of break- ing the vase, when the father said:

‘“‘Now, my son, make one more fry. Open your hand and hold your fingers out straight, as you see me doing, and then pull.”’

To their astonishment, the little fellow said, ‘Oh, no, papa, I couldn’t put out my fingers like that, for if 1 did I would drop my penny.’’ How many of us are like him! Held prisoners by our own desires. —Ram's Horn.

The Parisians are credited with having found out how to make false eyelashes. They'draw a Sine needle threaded with dark bair throngh the skin of the eyelid, forming long loops, and after the process is over—itis said to be a painless one—a splendid dark fringe veils the wearer's eyes.
