THE HURON EXPOSITOR.
The Life of. a Railway, Engineer.
"It has been claimed thate a locomotive
engineer coulci not live through more than
1tt00,000 miles of riding on a locomotive,"
remarked Washington Snow, as he mopped
the prespiratiop from' his brow and helped
himself to a seat in front of the Hotel David-
son, in Milwaukee, where he is a long-time
well-known figure.
"1 reckon I can beat the million racket
ley several hundred thousand," he continued.
el began working for the old La Crosse &'
Milwaukee Railway Company in 1857, and
•have been with that coinpany and its suc-
nessors and assigns,' as the lawyers say,
.ever since. I began in the shops at Water-
town, of courae, but I have been running an
engine on the road for the peat 39 years. I

T have travelled 36,000 miles e year, I have
figured it out, and am not gumming. Now,
if you multiply those figures by the number
et years I have held the throttle, you will
find that I have travelled 1,468,000 miles."
In appearance Mr. Stow is a typical
locomotive engineer -one of those short,
ehick-set men who fill out the smock in
enagnificeet proportions, and carry about
with them a ruddy, good-natured few. His

This Sensation of a Sciatica Vic•
tim Relieved by Dodd's
Kidney Pills.
Boxesetewx, N. B., Sept. 2, (Special)
'The case of Wm. A. Brown, of this place,
cured of that terrible disease, Sciatica, by
Dodd's Kidney Pilla, has aroused keen in-
terest all through New Brunswick. Mr.
Brown is in perfect health, and no trace of
;his old lameness remains. His statement
,reads as follows :
ee had Sciatica so bad in my back and
ihip that at times I could not walk without
suffering awful agony. Pains would shoot
through my beck with a sensation similar to
sunning a knife through it.
"1 began taking Dodd'e Kidney pi Ir.:,
-and before I had used up the firat box the
pains had nearly all left me. After the
•
third box I was completely cured."
I think Dodder Kiddey Pills are a welt-
ered remedy."
•
Why Lincoln Wouldn't Take the
- Case.
General John A. Littlefield, who studied
law with Abraham Lincten, tells, in his
recollections of the great mentor, chia at-
tractive bit of anecdote : All clients
knew that, with Old Abe' as their lawyer,
they would win their case -if it was fair ;
if not, that it was a waste of time to take
it to him. After listening some time one
day to a would-be client'tatement, with
his eyes on the ceiling, he swung round in
his chair and exclaimed : " Well, you have
a pretty good case in technical law, but a
pretty bad one in equity and justice. You'll
have to get some other fellow to win this
ease for you. I couldn't do it. All the
time while standing talking to that jury I'd
be thinking, " Lincoln, you're a liar," anct
I believe I should forget myself and say it
out loud."

Digestion 'W ithout a Stomach.
The fact the', people live and digest food after tha
stomach has been rcineved proves that the import-
ant part of dtrestion takes p!aao in the inteetinee.
Hence it comes that D. Chasse's Kidney -Liver Pills
are so wonderfully suce.aseful in curirg chronic indi-
gestion and dyspepsia, They at direetly on the kid -

A Fair Book Binder.
Princess Victoria, of Eugle,nd, King Ed-
ward's unmarried daughter, has devoted
-several years to the study of book binding
and has become an expert book binder. A
few months ago several, book covers sent to
• an exhibition in the name of " Mies Mat-
thews," were favorably noticed by the
judges and received several prizsa. Nobody
knew who the exhibitor was until the
prizee were awarded. Then it was dis-
covered that it was Princess Viotorie. The
princess has serioue tastes. Following the
lead of her mother, Alexandra, who is much
interested in medicine and hospital work,
Princess Victoria began to study nursing
seine years ago. She took an examination
in theoretical work, and then announced her
intention of becoming a hospital nurse. It
was current gossip in London at the time
that the Prince and Pi iacess of Wales had
great dificulty in dissuadiog her, and that
she submitted only after -many tears.

How to Read.
Nobody can be sure that he has got clear
ideas on a subject unless he has tried to put
them down on a piece of paper in independ-
ent words of his own. It is an excellent
plan, too, when you have read a good book.
to sit down and write a short abstraot of
what you can remember of it. It is a still
better plan, if you could make up your mind
to a alight extra labor, to do what Lord
Strafford and Gibban and Daniel Webster
did. After glancing over the title, subject,
er design of a book, these eminent men
Would take a pen and write roughly what
questions they expected to find answered in
it, what diffioulties solved, what kind of in-
formation imparted. Such practices keep
us from reading with the eye only, gliding
vaguely over the page; and they help us to
place our new acquisitions in relation with
what we knew before. It is almost always
worth while to read a thing twice over, to
-make sure that nothing has been missed or
dropped on the way, or wrongly conceived
or interpreted. And if the subject be
serious, it is often well to let an interval
elePse. Ideas, relations, statements of
faots are not to be taken by storm. We
lame to steep them in the mind, in the hope
of thusextracting their inmoat essence and
Biguificance. If one lets and interval pass,
and then returns, it is surprising how clear
andylpe that has become which, when we
left it, seemed crude, °bemire, full of per-
vlexity. All thin takes trouble, no doubt;

but then it will not do to deal with ideas
that we find in books or elsewhere as n
dal tain bird does with its eggs -leave them
in the sand for the sun to hatch and chance

Two of a Kind.
An eminent Queen's counsel, in the couree
of a learned argument, rested his cage en-
tirely on the reported decision, which he
claimed to be of paramount importance.
But when he had finished, his .opponent,
being asked by the judge what he had to
say, replied : Ill will not trouble your
lordship with any further argument. I only
wish to say that my friend has forgotten to
inform your lordship that the case on which
he relies has been taken on appeal to the
House of Lords, and the decision absolutely
reversed." Upon this the eminent Q. C.

Fit of the Blues.
The be3e, way to drive away the blues'
is to 'spend an hour or two in the air with
a bright companion, passing the time in the
pursuance of some epOrt or other, such as
tennis, golf or croquet -anything. that will
drive one's thoughts into a fresh channel
and hold one's attention. Every one feels
down ' at times ; it is junpessible for
buoyancy of Spirits to be ever paramount,
but a good deal can be done to diacourage
depression from Moreasing by at once
Occupying one's self with some subject of
interest, ttnd more especially by entering
into the pleasures and sorrows of others.
One of the beat tonics for the ' blues ' is a
cold bath -which gives a healthy shock to
the system that breaks the morbid chain of
thought from which one is sufferingoorrects
one' d mind and is likely to cause a healthy
reaction. The charm, freshoesa and inno.
eence of little children is a happy diversion,
and to watch their simple jay often makes
our own hearte thrcb with gladness, and we
forget our own troubles in entering into
their pleasures. It-. is, as a rule, far more
easy to shake off the blues' in the summer
time than in the winter,for the great healer,
open air, is more inviting in May than
December.

AS .SOP MIGHT HAVE TOLD I
A Story of a Clever 'Prick Played by
Two Ravens on a Puppy,
A Jerseyman, writing home from
southern Alaska, tells the following:
"I happened to see with my own e es
the other day a clever trick played b a
to

1 pale of ravens, which carried me back

PA silly little pup was playing Ali ut
when he came upon a nice, tasty bone. I
was watching hirn worry the bone nd
was enjoying the pleasure he seemed to
get out of- it, -when down dropped t o
ravens. They wanted that bone. It
stuck out all over them, their desire, nd
their eyes shone with the lust ofl c n -

"They fluttered about for some ti e,

"Finally the raven sneaked behind Jo
and scuttled quietly up until he was er-

here. and there, just enough to keel, the
dog's attention on him. When the ran
in the rear had gained a proper positio - yi
that is, had crept close enough -the ly
old bird in front began to jump up and
down. I was bewildered at first. 1
couldn't make out what tho birds w 63
up to for the longest while, end when he
jumping process began I was more mys-
tified than ever until the dog, distrac ed
by the jumping process, stopped wo y -
fag the bone and looked . up. Thon I
realized with an awesome feeling that
those ravens were up to something pretty
close to human. I confess it scared Me
a bit; it made the birds seem diabolielal,
' and I found snatches of Poe's verses on
the immortal birds of this feather rine-

ning through my head.
"Gradually the jumping bird driew
nearer and nearer to Jo. Ales, for he
pup's innocence! I held ,my breath as
the sable charmer flopped closer and
closer to Jo's smutty nose. Suddenly
Jo's jaws clicked. Almost at the sante
instant there was a flutter, a plunge trent
the rear, and the bird behind the pup ad
the bone.
"It was done so quickly that my e es
could scarcely follow it. When the ra en
in front got too near, Jo raised his h ad
from thebone and snapped at the bi d.

bone and everything else, made a elu go•
for the bird. Then the raven in the r ar
got in his work. •
"Of course the moment the rear ia-

that had been demonstrating in fr nt
flew off. The noises those birds m de
were weird. As the bird ln the r ar
grabbed the bone he let out a hoarse y11,
precisely like laughter, jeering, taunt ng

One Walnut Tree.
A _man in North Carolina was selling
standing timber -walnut trees. The man
who was buying came to one very hand-
soine tree. He told the owner he would
pay as much as $50 for that tree. The
owner did not sell, but sent for experts.
He [got $1,500 for the tree (curled wal-
nut) as it stood. The man who cut It
down realized $3,000 for it on the tars.
•It was shipped to New York and veneer.
ed one-sixth to half an inch. The sales
were watched. The tree brought $60.000.

How Erin Was to Capture Ameri a.
There can bo no question that the e
grants from from our shores are physically of
a. more vigorous and fertile average t an
those who stay at home. We once ha 1 a
striking reminder of this. Very in ny
years ago we had the pleasure of a I ng
interview with a Roman Catholic pri at
ire the poorest part of County Galw y.
He was very frank and plain spoken, .nit
we allude here to 'only one of his re-
marks. The chapel ho served Was p or
and primitive in the extreme. "Look at
these peasants," he said, "whom you s w
in chapel 'this morning. Barefooted and
humble, as most of them are, they ere
bodily as sound as a bell. Go into oily
of your churches in England and you
can hardly hear what is going on or
coughing. You heard not a single co el
this morning. What is the result? Th se
vigorous, healthy people go out to Amer-
ica and marry there. They have famillies
of from 15 to 18, while the home bred
Yankee has only two or three. , America

The Blood In the Brain.
Too much blood In the brain is a fre-
quent cause of headaches. Pains are
felt all over the head, the face becomes
flushed, the temples throb and streng
light or noise causes excruciating pain.
In cases of this kind the sufferer shoeld
be careful in diet and should not eat mSat
oftener than once a day.
Too little blood in the brain is anotl er
cause of headache. It is recognized by
dizziness, noises in the ears and pains on
top of the head. The best stimulant i a
cup of strong tea or coffee or a bowl of
soup. People who suffer with these he d -
aches should sleep with their heads 1 w.

A SPARROW HAWK'S SPEED.
The Bird of Prey Does Not Like a
Stern Chase.
The sparrow hawk does not more than
any other like a long "stern chase," but
prefers to attack with the advantage of
a surprise when darting -from a tree or
around the corner of a wood or when
.swooping with splendid speed from a
poise several hundred yards above the
ground.
We, seeing a finch or a starling taken
in a moment, often do not weigh the fact
-
that the victimwas hardly on the wing will
probably rising when the bird of pre,
came like a whirlwind and overwhelmed
it. Even if the hawk discovers its prey
when traversing the country at a lower
elevation it has still the power of a: fair
momentum to take full advantage of the
chance of 'a swooping rush at the prey,
which is probably on the ground.
Of course, when a rook is watched
chasing a sparrow hawk across the ?sky
there is nothing to show that the latter
is seriously trying to fly at speed. Oa
the contrary, it generallyseems in such
a caste that the hawk is relying mainly on
its soaring powers to avoid the attack.
And it is remarkable, indeed, with how
little apparent effort the hawk will soar
up and up from the rook, which all the
• while is obviously exerting itself fran-
ticall'y. On the other hand, it is general-
ly tq be seen that when the birds are
flying at a level the rook has no difficulty
in evlertaking the hawk, who after a turn
or two begins to go up, as already stated.
The icestrel seems more often to evade its
eneniies by a turn of speed, though it
also takes to the soar readily. Last au-
tumn I saw a fine female kestrel harried
by two peewits, which swooped at it al-
ternately, very prettily and with surpris-
ing persistence. At last the hawk, seem-
ingly tired of "putting out," as a falconer
would say, of these active birds, went
straight ahead apparently as hard as it
could, and then one could see that the
peewits were not able to overtake it,
though they followed to some distance.
The same thing happened with the crow.
The latter chased the hawk, but was at
last outfiown in a sheer, straight flight. -
FOREIGN FACTS.
London consumes 11 tons of salt a day.
• Holland has 10,100 windmills, each of
which drains on an average 310 acres
of land.
A restaurant keeper •in a German city
has testified that he gives his waiters
only $6 a month, whereas, if he forbade
fees and undertook to give their equiva-

month.

The British girl is getting taller as well
as the American. Fifty years ago a med-
ical authority says the height of a very
tall British woman Was 5 feet 7 inches,
while now the height averages 5 feet 8
inches to 5 feet 10 inches.
A rich woman of Moscow left a fund
to provide for a prize every five years
to the writer of the best play dealing
with the question of mothers-in-law, the
only proviso being that each piece shall
contain the character of a son-in-law who
is a villain.
The laws governing the treatment of
labor in England are so strictly enforced
that employees have exactly the stipulat-
ed time for meals. A firm in Lees, Lan-
cashire, which was discovered cutting
tne dinner hour short by a half minute
cach day Was fined $85.
How the Dinner Turned Ont.
A tiny girl of 7 gave a dinner party the
other day for which 12 covers were laid,
and that number of small maidens sat
down to dine. It was a real little girls'
dinner, and the little hostess herself pre-
sided, sitting at the head of the table.
She had been very anxious in looking
forward to it to do everything as ,it
should be done.
"Mamma," she asked, "shall we say
grace?"
"No," said tnamma; "it will be a very
informal dinner, and I think you need
not do that."6%,
That meant one less ceremony to be
gone through and was a relief, but the
little lady was anxious to have all her
small guests understand it. So as they
were gathered about the table she ex-
plained:
"Mamma says this is such an infernal
dinner that we need not have any grace
today." -"Recollections of Mrs. Minnie

Well, it's long been. in use in the rural
districts of the south, but It is nearly as
old as the hills. Shakespeare used it in
"Othello," where the Moor says to Des-
demona: •
Honey, you shall be will desired in Cyprus.
Also the poet Coogler, if we are not
mistaken, hath a rhyme to this purpose:
4111. In the days when life was tunny
Susan smiled and called me "tioney.".
r We once heard a 13illville meter call-
ing to her husband, who was digging bait
in. -the garden, "Honey, ef you don't drap
that hoe and fetch me in a cord of wood,
I'll break this vvashpot over your head,
honey!"
Washington Souvenirs.
"Washington is certainly a city of
souvenirs," said an eastern man who is
in town for a few days. "You can get

nirs are as thit‘k as toothpicks in a cheap

To Soften Water.
To make hard water soft'use one ounce
of lime slaked to a thin cream to 40 gal-
lons of water. Stir it in and allow ltto
settle for 12 hours. The lime will absorb
the carbon dioxide which held the hard-
ening substance, carbonate of lime, in so-
lution, and it, thus liberated, will fall te
the bottom, and the water will be soft.

Row would I propose? Well, I think I
would do it in as short e way as possible.
Of couree I would need to know something
of the girl first. Then X would say to her :
"Maggie, Jeek Scott and Mary Lamb are
getting mairrit." Maggie would say, " Are
they ? Then there wotald be an interval,
Then I would sey, "Maggie, hoo auld was
yer faither and mither when they were
mairrit ?" Maggie would tell me, then I
would say, Maggie, we are baith aulder
than that, an' we are no' mairrit yet," and
Maggie would say "Na," I would now
take a long, long breath and say, "-Maggie,
dse ye think we should get mairrit tae?"
And Maggie would say, "Ay." Then I
would take her tae some quiet tea-rooms,
and when there was nobody looking I would
say, "Try on thee rings Maggie, and keep
the ane that, fits ye and the ane ye like
beat." Then Maggie would 'say, "Oh Tam,

about it.
