"Well, von see, a feller from IS011II) Dakota oiiened tho wiudi-r just 111 front of me a while after we had started and tho cinders cotne in like it wa a hail fctorm. I didn't want to 'pear disobii ;!!) so I Mot h1 it for three, hours, tiud then J leati' d ovi r vo tho South Dakota feller, and says I, 'Lil tie dusty, ain't it?' 'Meb be,' s.ivs he. 'Would you mind shuttin down that winder for a siwll?' says I, as nerlite, lis vou lilease. 'I lmd it ver aunoyin.' 'I would inind,' pays he, 'am if I can stand it, I'll bet you can.' 'Well if it's a bet, you say,' says I, 'I'm in it. 1 don't let no South Dakota feller bb.ill me. I'll bet you iifty dollars, evi'i money, you'll weuken on that open win tier before I do. "Ho looked surprised, but ho nays, 'If: ago.' " o put up tho money with tho con duetor. and husnmrirli'd up tolus wunlei and I behind, takin tho dust sorter see onil hand. At thu end uf the first twenty four hours we wasn't purty fur a cent and I see d the other feller was sipurinin a good deal. So when tlio train Ktoppt for dinner I i-neiiked out to tho eujjinet and gave him my last ten dollar bill, uud says I winkin, 'When you htart up t lit engine it'll be a pertickler favor to uit if you won't screen back them cinders let 'em flicker for two or threo bonis just buzz ont every cinder you'vo tfot.' " 'My coal,' Bays he, a winkin back, 'b terrible soft and muddy today.' "Well, bir, the uext three hours wai awful. I never seed such smoko and coal dust anywhere.

It actunlh seeined as though the screen business had busted clean ont of tho smokestack and let tho coal blow through in chunks Tho dirt was so thick on my face you could have wrote my name iu it, but that feller from South Dakota he caught them cinders right in tho neck. lie wa almost buried. There was cinders in his hair, cinders in his mustache; they worked down inside his collar; into liif vest pockets. And when he started to bnico op on a chew blamed if he didn't bite more cinders than tobackur. About then it came up to rain, and for an horn that feller from South Dakota locked like he was dredged tin from a mud pond. When the raiu stopped nnd lie was wipin down the mud, along come red hot cinder as big as a pea and lit ou his beard. The brakemau helped him put out the fire, bub just then tho train stopped and that feller riz np and says he, 'I weaken, take the cash, and he walked right off the train. Then all the passengers congratulated me. They said I was dirty, but game. "So you got the money?" inquired tht clerk with some interest. "Well that's tho trouble," rejoined th dirty traveler. "While I was fixin tin engineer blamed If. tnat onery cus wasn't goin me ono better and fixin the conductor, and they froze to tho cash and skipped together. The trouble with me is," added the grimy traveler, gazing out pensively at the Forty-second street hackmen, "that I'm too honorablo and confidiu, always been so.

At a certain station large quantities ol plums nnd apples were being reported as missing almost daily in the large hampers and baskets that were sent to London. Circumstances pointed to the probability of the pilfering taking place at the sending station. The agent hit upon a novel plan for detecting the thief, lie had a . lad porter placed in one ol these hampers returning empty, which was large enough to hold him, covered the top with canvas and labeled it "Plurus PeriHhable," with the address in full. Toward midnight the lad got cramped and felt anxious to get ont, but he stuck manfully to his post. By and by one ol the night shunters came into the shed to examine the wagons labeled for the next train. lie groped abont the packages, and cat a hole in the canvas of the ham per where the lad was concealed and felt for the plums. lie was terrified, however, to find his hand firmly gripped, and almost fainted with fright when the porter revealed himself and recognized him, with a large basket full of fruit by his side. The shunter was in a couple of days dis missed and the porter received promo tion. London Tit-Bits. Fine yuentlon. The Germans are a very philosophical and somewhat argumentative race. Two workmen in the great Kropp cannon manufactory were overheard discussing an important question. "In yonr opinion, Johann," said one, "which is tho more important part of a cannon the hole or the 6teel?" "The hole of course, Il'iricb,,' said the other. "Because what nse in the world wonld a cannon be without any hole in it?" "Yon are wrong, Johann. It's the steel that's moro important; for how many men could you kill with a hole with nothing around it?" Youth'sCompauioo. BEATING TIME. When the llnbia M'u Viral Teed It MTaa a KorinliUble Sla Foot Club. Investigations into tho origin of the baton, or stick for beating time, which is used nowadays by tho conductor of every large orchestra, have brought out the interesting fact that the first conduc tor's baton was a formidable staff, about six feet long, which tho old time French musician, Lully by name, who invented it, may have used as much to intimidate the members of his orchestra as to mark the time. In tho very oldest orchestras, as in Chinese orchestras of the present day, there was uo conductor in the modern sens-?. Every performer played as well as ho could, and tho man who played upon tho loudest instrument the ttlo drum, for instance marked tLe time for the rest. When music became more systematic and refined, the chi"f command of tlu orchestra was given to tho member who was regarded as the most accomplished and skillful. lie assigned the other mem bers their parts, drilled them at re hearsals and supervised the final per formation. To prod uoo a good effect it w is n s savy ol course that tnu musicians should play iu time, and th t hief of the orchestra, who himself played ono in stiuineiit, was accustomed to mark the beat by stamping on the floor wi'h one foot. For this reason tho conductor ol an orchestra was at that period called tho pedaiius. Afterward it became customary for him to give tho time by clapping the fingers of his right hand against thu hoi low of his left. The In-liter of time aflet tills fashion was called the maiiiidiictor. Meantime experiments were made in marking the time by striking togethei shells and bones. Tho bones were soon given up as instruments to be used by the conductor of an orchestra; but they survived as au independent instrument. Doys and negro minstrels "play ou the bones" with great gusto to this day. In thu early part of tho Seventeenth century tho musician already alluded to, Lully by name, arose. Ho found all those instruments of leadership ineffec tive, and in order to reduce bis perform ers to complete subjection, ho procured a stout staff six foot long, with which lie pounded vigorously on the Hour to mailt tho time. Ono day, becoming particularly impa tient, and pounding with especial vigor, Lully struck his foot instead of the flooi with his baton. The wound gangrened, and Lully died from its effects in 1087. Tlio baton continued in use through out tho Seventeenth and Eighteenth centuries, but though it gradually tie creased in size, there is no evidence that conductors marked the time in any othot way than by pounding upon their music stands or somo other hard object. All this poundiug must have had an unpleasant effect upon the music, and critics and musicians began to ridicule the practice. Iu courso of time, there fore, wo find musical conductors no longer thumping upon the floor or their music stands, but beating the time en tirely in the air. It seems to have taken players a very long timo to learn that they could get the time as easily by means of tho eye as by means of the oar. Youth's Companion. Not Wholly Complimentary. A certain Mrs. Malaprop, who lives in a largo eastern city, is noted for hot skill in unconsciously embarrassing oth er people, while she herself remains per fectly at ease. Not long ago she was in troduced to two sisters, young ladies who had long been known to her by name, though sho had never met them. "Now, my dears," sho said, addressing them collectively, with her usual bland smile, and regarding them earnestly through her glasses, "I have often heard of tho bright and tho handsome Miss Ratcliffo. Now I am so glad to meet you both, nnd I want you to tell mo at once which of you is the bright and which the handsome ono." On another occasion sho was dining with her nephew and his young wife, who had just set up housekeeping. The dinner did not go off quite so smoothly as the young couple had hoped, ami the cooking was by no means perfect. The hostess unwisely began to murmur apol ogies and her husband joined in, halt laughing, with references to his wife's youth and inexperience. "Don't say another word, my deal children," interrupted their kind hearted guest. "I can assure yon I've eaten a great deal worse dinners than this in the course of my life; a great deal worse. Ye8,"she added meditatively, "I'vo eaten some pretty bad dinners, you may be surel" Youth's Companion. Tha FlaTor of Coffe. Real coffee is a very delicate sub stance and will readily not only lose its own flavor, but also take up the flavor of other substances. Thus it is quite necessary in shipping coffee to make sure that no other odorous substance is placed near to destroy the flavor of the coffee. The aroma is volatile. Let a quantity of pure ground coffee be ex posed to the air for a considerable time and the best of tha coffee will go out into the atmosphere. The careful house wife who wishes to make good, pure coffee of fragrant aroma buys it in the green bean, roasts it herself, keeps it tightly canned after roasting and grinds it the morning it is used. Coffee so made is a totally different article of consump tion from the great bulk of ground cof fee that is sold in the stores. . Some time ago an official analysis of some ground coffee exposed for sale dis closed the fact that there was absolutely no coffee in it. New York Sun. - That Fatal Number.
