ASIGNALMAN'S STORY No, sir, I'm proud an thankful to say although I've been a signalman now on a quarter of a century, I've ne accident at my box. I've coon. it on several occasions, as you may gue s, but, somehow, Providence has always seemed to step in just at the right moment an prevent it. One ease I especially remebaber. I was on day turn that week, an as 1 walked down the line a bit afore 7 In the mornin, the sun ebtnln brightly an the birds titterin an hoppin about from bush to bush, I couldn't help thinkin bow much nicer an pleasanter It was than bean on nights, wi' nothin but the screech of a el000motve every now an again, or maybe an 000aeional Iqg signal to keep you Qom- VW-m.81 om- Ap !prone i'ill„1,onga t iseupre. "Mornin, oo," says 1,T w erg I- got to the box, to mate tq,bo dlieen on durin the night, "Mee day, ain't it?" "Aye, Very nice,"'&iiya Joe. it5.y ' thlrlg opdbal in the night?" says I. "No, nothin much. Down Scotehman 15 minutes late, through a block on the line higher up, an two trunks o' cattle in the Odin for the pick up"—that's a goods train oallln every station If required, sir— "to take forward this mornin. That's about all, I think." Well, Joe staid in the box talkin an gossipin to me in a friendly sort o' way for about half an hour, as we usually did, whichever of us happened to be just gotn off duty, an then he slung his bag over hie shoulder an went off home to get hie breakfast an bit o' well earned rest, leav• in me alone for another day in charge o' the old cabin. It was a pretty busy box, an there wasn't much time hangin on your hands, , so to speak, but what bit there was I gen, erally employed in polishin up the big levers o' steel an brass—it was always Joe's an my boast that you couldn't find so much as a speck o' dust on any of our bandles—an thinkin o' the wife an child at home. We'd been married about six years, had Jenny an me, an a happier couple I don't think you'd have found anywhere. She was always cheerful an smiling, an as good an careful a manager as you could set eyes on, an although my wages weren't very much to talk about at that time, she made them spin out an do things in a way that fairly astonished me. The house woe always comfortable an nice, an as clean as continual dustin an sorubbin could make it. Very proud was Jenny when I got put on at the j.unotion. She said it showed they thought a good deal o' me, an, right enough, it was an important post for a young man, as I was then, who hadn't been signalman more than a matter o' some seven or eight years. We'd never had but the one child, little Nally. She was just 6, an It would have done your heart good to see her, wi' her winsome ways an her prattlin baby talk. As for Jenny an me, we just idolized her an nothin fess. Nothin was too good for her, an when she was dressed up in her beet little frock on a Sunday we were that proud of her we didn't think there was another girl like our Molly to the whole wide world. Many a time have I gone wl'out tobacco for a week in order that she might have her new pair o' slip- pers or new pinafore a bit sooner. We used to call her our little bit o' sun- shine, an I'm sate a better name it would have been hard to flied, for she seemed to light up the house, rennin in an out in ber play, just like a gleam o' sun does. Every mornin when I went off down to the box after kiseln them both she'd stand at the door, holdin on to her mother's gown wt' one littie hand, wavin the other in the air an oallln out after me, "Deed - by, dada, dear," till I was out o' hearin, me turnin round every few yards an wavin my hand to her in return. Well, on this }particular mornin things went on much the same as usual, an I was kept pretty hard at it till about 12 o'clock penin back the levers an enterin up in my book the times o' the trains as they passed. After that time I bad a bit o' slack till the 1 o'elook down express was signaled, en then Nelly would bring my dinner down an stay playin about In the box till I'd eaten it. This was the ono little bit o' the day that I always looked forward to wi' more interest than any other unless It were knockia off time, an whenever the weath- er was anything like fine I was surd not to be disappointed. At first Jenny was nervous an didn't like the idea o' the child welkin down the line. "Oh, Jim," she said, "Is it safe for her i > go? Think what we should do if any. hing happened to our little Nally." "Oh, never fear, lass; she'll be all .ight," I answered. "Won't you, Nelly?" catchin her up in my arms an kissin her. "Yes, mo all right," lisped Nelly in her pretty baby talk, Doddta her little head wisely an makin us both laugh at her earnestness. After Vat she came regularly, an I u ad 0 7o`ok oat fci' liar bodi]IYn'"d telt-tha- footpath at the side o' the line—I'd eau• tinned her never to go off it, an as she war a sharp little thing she soon understood why—wi' my dinner basket hung over her arm, as proud an pleased as possible to think that she was takin her dad his din- ner. The, when I'd taken it out o' the bus- wi' a kiss for porterage, she'd play round an look wi' big, wonderin eyes at the great brass handles an the telegraph needles till I'd finished, when she'd start heck home wi' the empty basket—it wasn't inure than u quarter o' a mile—an . I'd watch her little figure growin smaller in rhe distance wi' ieelin's just as proud as her Own. tion was a wan., about 100 yards off, run- nin wi' all kis might toward me, wavin his hands an pointln in a very exalted manner somewhere. "What's up now?" thought I, but I couldn't make hoed or tall o' his estiou- lattn, sol waited wi' same impatience for him to got nearer, an then I saw that it was ono o' the plate layers belongln to the gang that was workiu near by. e " "Switch the express on to the loop, Jim, quick!" ho gasped. "The bridge has fall- en int" Before I go any further let me explain the position o' things a bit. My box was a junotlon, 8e I've told you. Tei the south was the male line from Lon- don, which there split in two, one oomin through the station here an the other mise - In it an goln round the "loop," as we null h. On the station line, about 800 yards past the junotion, round a bit of a curve, was a large trestle bridge over the river. It was gettin considerably old, an they bad boon talkin about renewin it for some time post, but somehow the months had drifted by an no start had been made on the work yet. Instantly I guessed what had;}jappened. The rains durin the last week or two had boon very Leavy, an the river was in con- sequence flooded an runnin very strong, an the unusual weight an rush o' water bad loosened the old an rotten supports o' the bridge, which never ought to have bean allowed to get In such a condition, till it had suddenly come topplin over into the eeethin an boiliq flood i; ow. For a moment I was sttigetrod by the suddenness o' the news, but then I braced myself together an saw that what the nav- vy had shouted was the only thiug to do. It was impossible to pull the express up. The driver had seen the signals off, an kuowln that he was behind time was belt - in along as fast as his englre could go. It was afore these days o' trains fitted from end to end wi' ooutinuous brakes that'll bring a train to a stand in 50 yards, an I could see that unless I switched it on to the loop it'd go dashin along an into the river on top o' the ill fated bridge. I felt a kind o' dizziness coma over me ea I thought N all there passengers a -sit - tin in tho carriages comfortably readtn or lookin out at the green an yellow fields as they passed, beln sent w1'out a word o' wernin to destruction, an sprang across to pull the lovers back. As I did so I thought o' little Nelly a-curnin clown the loop wi' my dinner an how surprised she'd be to see the great express rushin toward her, an involuntarily I cast a glance out 0' the window in the direction I know she'd be Contin. Aye, there was the little figure I loved so well, sure enough. But what was that that made my heart grow suddenly cold wi'in mo an sent the blood Burgin up to my temples till my brain felt on fire? Pessin my hand across my eyes, I looked again. Surely I must be mistaken I No; It was no delusion. There was my little girl welkin in the four foot—a thing shod never done afore to my knowledge —right in the track o' the odvancid ex- press. She had got the basket in one hand an was holdin her little hot up in the air wi' the other, an I almost fancied I could son the laugh o' childish glen on her face as she watched the bright ribbon flutterin in the breeze. "Nally, Nelly!" I shouted desperately, but she evidently didn't bear, for she took no notion. A sickenin forobodin o' ill came over me, an I stood wi' my hand on the lever irresolute. Has It ever etruck you, sir, what a lot o' things can pries through your brain in the epaoe o' half a minute? It struck me for the first time then. A whole series o' thoughts seemed to flood over mo in that terrible few seconds. If I pulled the lever back, it meant al- most certain death to .Nelly—chubby, rosy cbeeked little Nealy, the darlin o' hor mother's heart; the little, winsome child I'd played wi' on my knee ever since she n baby—anif I didn't it meantual- a was a equal- ly certain destruction to the express, wi' its heavy frelgbt o' human bein's, which was by this time not more than a couple o' hundred yards away. Thab terrible struggle between love an duty which took place all inside o' half a minute will never be wiped off my memory. "Switch her over, you fool!" yelled the plate layer, who had now got close up to the box. But then he, too, eaught sight o' Nelly an was silent, for perhaps be, too, had got a little girl at home. His shout did not rouse Yee, however, for wicked thoughts filled my brain. Who could say wi' any oortaliety what was the reason if I didn't turn the course o' the train? Most likely it would be supposed that the shook bad dazed me an rendered me incapable o' aotin promptly, as had been the case wi' so many men afore me. Why shouldn:t I let the express go on un- checked an save Nelly? Thank God, though, the horrible temp- tation wasn't for long! I was one, but what was I compared wi' all the vast host o' wives an daughters an hnebands an fa- thers that would be thrown Into sorrow an mournin if any accident happened to that train? I should he branded ever after wi' the corse o' murder an worse than murder. . "Nally, Nelly," I shouted through the window as loud as my parched throat would let me, "lie down, lie down!" an I pointed between the rails. Then, wi' one brief prayer that came right from the bot- tom o' my heart, I flung the handle back only just is time. I heard tho points come over, the engine almost strikin them as they did so, but just ewervin in time to get on the loop, an then I knew no more, for my senses were -marciftrle tnkemaway;`zerI-fellte'the-tioor--• o' the cabin in a dead swoon. gone on for some time now, d quite forgotten her fears. 1 exprose was late that day, an I re- member wonderin what could have de- le)ed 1t, as it was usually signaled punc- tual to the minute. At last, however, I got the ring on the bell that told me it was approachln, an not long after I heard mblin some two or three rnilesaway.

Day by day the villagers—men, women and ohildren—left their thatch huts and visited the tombs of the local iiaints, cry- ing, "God havo mercy upon us; God have mercy upon pe I" .And there on the hills, where some clumps of palmetto and a few whited stones mark the last resting place of a saint, they stood and prayed. Dint no rain came, So the tdte'lispeople, dretsed in gala at- tire abet led by the sacred flags that hung In the mosques and tombs, went out to pray. Up the long,narrow street of Tangier they passed, a line of white robed figures, singing as they went. Over their heads waved the scarlet and green and gold em- broidered banners. Barefoot they went, the great men of the city, and the mer- chants, and the halt, and the blind, out 'cross the wide sok, between the aloe hedges of rho cemeteries, until the town was left deserted and solitary. Then they went up the rough paved track that leads to the tomb of Tangier's patron eaint— Sidi Mohammed el Haj—until the proces- sion was hid from eight among the lentis - cue and wild olives and naught could bo seen of it but every now and again a peep of some waving banner. And the wind went round to the east and blew hotter than over, and the drought increased. The faces of the men and women in the country grew more and more sad, for hunger already gnawed at their hearts, and the future—they dared not think of it. The price of wheat and barley rose stead- ily. Every afternoon, led by the basha of the ,town, the people passed out to pray, barefoot and singing, but the hot east wind blow the flags to and fro as if in laughter and scorn. The tourists said tho proces- sion was very pretty and oriental, and they hoped it would puss the windows of the hotel every day as long as they staid. But one day n still hot sllenee reigned over the land, and the flags of the procession clung as if in fear to the poles, and not a breath of wind stirred. Far away from the town ono could hear the singing of the people as they prayed. —Saturday Review. . . When I came to again, I was lyln in my own room at home, wi' Jenny bendin over me an passin hor hand over my burnin ?mow. "Nelly," I murmured shudderin'ly, ex - pectin to be greeted wi' a burst o' sobs. To my eurprise, however, Jenny went away, an in a few soeonds, durin which I ley in a kind o' sleepy wonder, not hovin quite recovered from my swoon, returned, leadln by the hand our Little"glrl un- harmed. After I had caught her up in my arms an kissed hor passionately again an again they told me how, on hearin my shout, she bad obediently lain down, an how the big express, by some merciful dispensation o' Providence, had passed clout over her wi'out karmic her so much as a soretoh.

(te PIPES. One English Family Has Made Thom For Abo4st Three Hundred Years. It is difficult to stateydg any degree of w accuracy when tobacco was first introduced into Europe, but it is generally believed that Sir Walter Raleigh took it to England toward the end of the elxteenth century. With rho introduction of tobacco Dame the need of tobacco pipes, as before tobacco smoking began the smoking of herbs and leaves, even for medicinal purposes, was not at all general. It Is stated that at Brusulcy, in Shropshire, the first clay pipes were tnado, and, although many aro made in Glasgow and elsewhere, the Braseley clay pipes ore tho best known among old smokers the world over, and their manu- facture is still co'ttlnued by descendants of the original matters. The clay for making the pipes is and always has been obtained from Devon and Cornwall, tho absence of veal In these die- triets and tho abundance of 1t in Braseley having offered sufficient inducement- to tho early manufacturers to settle there. I'ipomnaking in the early days of its intro- duutiou was o very different matter front What tt be now. T11en the greater part of the manipullltioo was performed by the master, and 20 or 24 grog's were the largest quantity ever burned in one kiln. This required about a ton of opal. Each pipe rested off} tire" bo'ry'1, am -tris stem was sup - I eor[.uc by rings of pipeclay placed one I upon the other ns the kiln became filled. The result was that at least 20 per Dent were warped or brokea in the kiln. At the present time the preliminary properutions of the clay are made by men, but the most delicate part is almost en- tirely intrusted to the hands of women. The pipes are placed in "saggers" to be burned after the Dutch mode, and from 850 to 400 gross in ono kiln aro not an un- common qu>lntity. Tho breakages amount to not more than 1 por cent. Ono collector has a splendid collection of old clay pipes, the oldest of thorn, from their trademarks, hailing frown Braseley and being dated as lung ago as the year 1600.—New York Snn_ •'FLIhS" UW VESSELS. Not the Little Insect, but a Weather Vane to Aid In Steering. There is much curious sore lore In an article by Gustav liobbe on "Steering Without a Compass" in St Nicholas. Mr. Robbo says: The fly at the masthead is often used as a sign to steer by. It revolves on a pivot, and hence, like a weather vane, 'bows the direction from which the wind is blowing, W1101'0118 a flag attached to a halyard streams directly astern or at an angle more or loss affected by the speed and course of the vessel. A glance at the fly having shown the wind's direction, a glance at the binnacle shows from what point of the compass it comes. 'i'hen, by watching the fly, and thus keeping the ship 'always at the seine angle to the wind, you aro able to keep her on her course. The ships of different nations have dis• tinctdyo fifes. The American and the Eng- lish fly is a little triangular pennon. Ger- man ships often have a small tapering bag at the masthead, and French vossele a dog vano—a line of corks with colored feathers on a wire. The steamers of the French lino from New York to Beare have a dog vane at oych masthead, It is one Of their distinguishing marks. Steering by the fly is one way of steering by the wind, but there are othor tricks for finding the wind point. A sailor can find the point of a stiff breeze by slmply lotting it blow against his face, In a light air, almost a cairn, he lifts his cap and turns his head until ho feels the cool breath on his moist brow, which is far more sensitive than his sun tanned face, or ho moistens the edge of his hand and, turning it toward the wind, waves 1t gen• tly back and forth and toand fro until the coolness of the air is felt on one aide of that narrow surface and not on the other. In heavier airs ho will moisten tho palm of the hand and hold it flat to tbo wind. The wind point being found, the ship is sailed as close to the wind as possible, the helmsman keeping his eye on the sail leeoh. The least quiver, and a turn of the wheel keeps her off enough to fill her sails, but with an experienced hand on the wheel there will be 00 quiver along the leech, for an "A. B." oan tell by the feel of the helm when the ship is about to come up into the wind, As the vessel comes up the strain on the rudder is lessened, and by quickly checking her ho keeps the sane "rap full and asleof"—keeps them from quivering—and holds her on her course without so much as a glance at the com• case. tion, and was so well satisfied with the result that I have never tried any other kind of dressing. It stop- ped the hair front falling out, stimu- Iated a new growth of hair, and kept the scalp free from dandruff. Only an occasional application is now needed to keep my hair of good, natural color.
