We had a heavy train," and the engine didn't steam, well. It was a long uphill "-" . pull, and then a. heavy down -grade. When we reached the summit.

We didn't have time to . . speculate on what was the matter, for, before speed could be reduced even a t little bit, there was a crash, three er ..'four bumps, a terrific twist, and the whole, train was in the ditch. . J wasn't hart only dajed; but when I could see straight I tound Pete was pinned between the tank and the cab.

Before I had time to follow him and I confess I was most afraid to -do -so he busted another window from the inside and commenced to push somethin white through the openin':- It was Lizzie, but whether 'dead or Eenseless no one could tell then.

There is this difference between those two temporal blessings, health and money: Money is the most envied, "but the least enjoyed; health is the most en joyed, but the least envied; and this superiority of the latter is still more obvious when we reflect that the poor est man would not part with health for money , but that the richest would glad ly part with all their money for health Celten.

The wemaswhft is not watchful of ex penses in thd household and a constan! enemy to waste Is not womanly at all But, nevertheless, economy. Iike mos: virtues, heeds a curb bit when it b ridden as a bebby. The writer encc heard a society girl exclaim boastfully "I never save pennies. I always thro them away." In a land oversowing with maimed beggars and half-starved newsboys this seems incredible. Ye it Is true; However, the society girl's speech has been retailed merely as a companion to the other extreme. A man of exact business habits told a boarding-house parlorful of the usuii free-and-easy-going American folk that In footing up the expenses of hi! j recent wedding Journey there was one cent expended ror which he could not account. A few days after "he criec gleefully on entering the crowded dining-room l "I've found itr Touud what?" demanded an " eager- chorus. "The cent!", was the grave reply. In a family composed of four members and three servants a young woman said, as If -she' were looking for com mendation, that she managed to save greatly in the washing of sheets by a method of her own; when fresh ones were due, she merely turned Hbout those already in use, and "began over again' with them for a seond week In this way she declared that half the ordinary amount of bed-linen washing might be spared, while her listeners were busy wondering if her head had no objections to lying where her feet had been. One of our best stort-atory writers once gave a few domestic bints in a household journal which graphic ally Illustrated what is here meant by the danger in unbridled economy. Her remarks happened to be upon the theme of using up remnants. She seriously advised the general housewife to do as she did make periodical incursions upon the refrigerator, and. -whatever was found there, whether fish. fowl, or vegetable, to mix together in some commodious vessel, and from tni3 r.n "appetizing compound to make "cro quettes;" as if hash would not be too polite a name for such a mess. A little later" on, the author mentions casually that her family are all dyspetic. 'ihe only wonder is that they ara not corpses. In another household .n elderly lady, inured to small savings at first from some degree of necessity, and subsequently from, habit, packed her newly made daughter-lh-Iinith a quick cry of distressfrom throwing a spent match into $he fire. "Scop I sfop!" said she; "I always save burned matches for kindling." The mean side of frugality has been pointed out tore alone as warning. There is assuredly a safe, decent course that should run through every well-regulated home, but it must be, however, a middle pathway between throwing away pen nies and giving up whole, valuable hours to tracking a stray one. , Oppertanity for Geala. Why does not the ingenuity of the American dressmaker devise an inter changeable bloomer and dres3-sleeve" There is a striking similarity in the architecture of the two. FASHION'S FANCIES. A quaint little costume for a child of four years is made of white cashmere. The skirt is plain, save for three bands of satin ribbon. The waist' ts close fitting, and a yoke is outlined by rib bon bands matching the skirt From shoulder to elbows the sleeves are trimmed with the ribbon. Oyer the sleeve tops and across the fro'nt and back is set a very deep fall of open work embroidery or Irish point lace. A bow of ribbon on either shoulder and a ribbon sash are worn with it. A child of five years has a dress with skirt made of cambric elaborately em broidered. The waist is gathered into a yoke and belt, the sleeves are full puffs to the elbows with wide ruffles of embroidery below An Eton jacket of velvet and a very wide velvet sash tied with long loops and ends, make an appropriate and dressy finish. A hat for a tiny girl is made of plaitr ings of taffeta set one over another to form a brim. The crown has an up right trimming of the plaiting and there are very large bows on either side. A dainty dress for a doll has a vel vet petticoat and silk skirt with an embroidered edge. The waist of silk is close-fitting, and an Eton jacket of velvet Is worn with it The sleeves are large and have close bands at the wrists. A sailor hat with a winaf is set on over the yellow .curls. v - RELIGION AND REFORM. An Endeavor society has been organ ized in the Home of Incurables at Bal timore.

WHAT THE EXPLORATIONS OF BORCHGREVING'K ' REVEAL; Oae fratt Stck er TUa May - S4 Wlthja ,sse.eas shm TalaakM a To HE vast Atlantic continent, 8,000.000 miles ia extent; had been receiving much attention at the geographical congress assembled in London; and a great deal 6f new information oh the subject has seed secured. While it is true that no man has yet penetrated beyond the stupendous ice wall surrounding" this unknown and mysterious contin ent, a daring Norwegian navigator, thd Columbus of the Antartic, has just re turned and told of the wonderful things he found there. He is C. Edgeberg Borcbgrevinck, and he is the first white man to tread the ground of this Vast and hithertd. Unknown land. -. From what Borchgrevinck says and all of his statements are corroborated by the log of the ship and the members of the crew this is a region wholly un like what had previously been thought. Its conditions are peculiarly adapter to easy exploration, and what has al ready been found leads to the convic tion that animal and even human life may exist there in a degree never be fore suspected. On Possession island vegetation was discovered 30 feet above the sea level, and Borchgrevinck found plants which were never before discovered within the Antarctic circle. This island is about 350 acres in size, and it will, says Borchgrevinck, make an excellent land ing place for all future expeditions to the vast continent stretching away at its back. The vast ice wall which is the pecu liar characteristic of this continent was seen stretching in both directions as far as the eye could see. In places it towered 12,000 feet above the sea level, crowning great perpendicular rocks that rose from the waves. One of the most surprising results of Borchgrevinck's voyage is his report of vast undeveloped mineral wealth, which in countless stores seem to lie waiting the hand of the miner in this unknown continent. This includes not only metals, but precious stones. He picked up a large number of gar net specimens right near the shore. These precious stones were lying around loose, and he naturally con cludes that there are many more of them. Wherever garnets are found other precious stones are not unlikely to be discovered, and people are asking if the Antarctic continent may not be one vast storehouse of mineral wealth which may exist there in undreamed-of quantities. Possibly connected with this is the astonishing and hitherto unexplained aurora constantly witnessed by the ex plorer shooting up from behind the ice barrier and illuminating the heavens of this far-off quarter of the earth. Such a display of the aurora, says Borchgrevinck, took place en Febru ary 17, and in all his experience in the Arctic he say3 he never saw its equal. From the southwest, he says, vast streamers of light shot into the heav ens, making an interplay of gorgeous colors that swung the whole gamut of the prismatic keyboard. It was at once awful and mangnificent.

Some years ago there lived in Ala bama a judge who was noted for the WONDERS OF THE ANTARCTIC OCEAN. sarcasm which he dispensed during his administration of justice. On one occa sion a young man was tried for steal ing a pocketbook. The next case was for murder. The evidence in the lar ceny case was slight, but in the other seemed to the judge conclusive. To his amazement and wrath, however, the jury convicted the young man and' ac quitted the murderer. In passing sen tence upon the convicted thief, after the discharge of the other prisoner, the judge said: "Young man. you have not been in this country long?" "No. your honor." replied the prisoner. "I thought not." said the judge; "you don't know these people; you may kill them, but don't touch their pocketbooks." On another occasion, when the evi dence seemed to point conclusively to the prisoner's guilt, but when the judge, from long experience, distrusted the jurymen's wisdom, the counsel for the defendant said: "It is better that ninety-nine guilty persons should escape than that one in nocent man should suffer." In his charge to the jury the judge admitted the soundness of the proposition, but added impressively and severely: "Gen tlemen. I want you to bear in mind that ninety-nine have already escaped."

In the variety, interest and peculiar value of-its composition the Columbian liberty bell which was exhibited at the Chicago world's fair and is now being shown at Atlanta, is unique.

Unfortunate ly it Is only tke fraudaleat eaes that are saw in existence. Tie "missing word'eoateet" was so popular for aMsy mestks after it was introduce! tkst it has been kept np even against tke law. It never attained any great popularity ia this conntry. A sentence was srtst ed with one word left blank, and the first person who supplied tke missisg word by mall got. the ckief prize, otker awards being Stade ap te a considerable sum. Each competitor snt ia ssme thiag Uke a shilling as entrance fee. aad the total amount received in this way, generally as eaormoas asm. was distributed among the winners. That was the way the competition west when it was managed fairly. But the most of the missing word games, if hot all of them, .that ere now running, are man aged on no such principle. The period icals now conducting them are general ly printed somewhere on the continent, and are scattered broadcast en British soil. In many cases they are not peri odicals at all, but merely circulars sealed up as letters giving the terms of the competition and the sentence to be completed. An Instance of how one of these swindles works is that of a working man who sent three shillings abroad to a contest. A few days later he received in reply a letter marked "Private," ostensibly from an employe of the foreign concern which offered in "revenge" to supply the missing word secretly for tweuty shillings, or about 15. The deluded mechanic sent on the money and received the word. Short ly afterwards he got a letter from the company, saying that he had won. and that there were several hundred dollars standing to his credit. The only trouble was. so the letter ran, that another com petitor had lodged a complaint and claimed two pounds. If he was willing to buy the man out.sending two pound by postal, the prize money would' be forwarded to him in full. The working man started to pawn clothing in order to raise the money, when a friend suggested to him to have the company send the prize money min us the two pounds. He wrote to that effect. In answer came a letter stat ing that he need not send the money, as it had all been settled. But they had a charge on their books against him for "notarial and other costs of currency," amounting to five shillings. Would he send that over immediately for ex penses. Confidingly he did so. and never heard from the company afterwards. HEAD-GEAR OF THE NATIONS. Grass hats are common in China an i the South Sea Islands. Straw hat3 are believed to have been first Invented in Manilla. The conical cap worn at the time of Alexander the Great is still to be seen in Persia. In the fifteenth century plumed hat3 with wide brims became fashionable all over Europe. Taking off the hat or cap as a sign of reverence or respect was mentioned in the time of Caesar. A Turkish turban of the largest size contains from ten to twenty yards of the finest and softest muslin. The Spanish broad-brimmed hat has not changed cither in style or material for over 300 years. A cap ef the style known as the "lib erty cap" was worn from the earliest times among both Greeks and Romans. 8eae specimens ef medieval helmets, at least eleven pounds in weight, are preserved la the Earosess museums.
