Wetland to Cet Out, HO was an ozpress uneakeeger ou the San- ta lso a few days ago. It was a night run, mid there wore two znessengere in the var. Just as it began to vow dusk the train stop. ped at a ernall station and a demi body was taken aboard. Nothing In particular was thougdit of this, however, and as there was nothtug to do and the train would, u ot stop again for a long distance, both mestengere prepared to go to sleep. One cf them dead, ed that the box containing the body would be * good plele to teat on, and so he arrang ecl himself comfortably there on and wentto sleep. How long he alept he ha& no ides, but and. denly, as it in a dream he hoed a voiceseyt "Let me out 1" The meeseuger, startled, lay half awake for a moment, when in Ito nucertain tones came the words, apparently from within the head of the box Oil which he aleph " D—n you, let mo out." It b quite a distance from where the box lay to the other end of the car, but the mes- senger as poisitive he cleared it in two jumps. Trembling with fear, he el:mated to his completion, but before he had a chance to toll his story that self Bente voice exclaimed: "1 want to get out of here." Neither of the men spoae for a moment, and then the one who had first heard the voice said I "dim, that corpse wants to get out." Jim thought for a moment, and then said "Well, I reckon it wouldn't be right to keep bim in there if he wants to get out." •So the two cautiously made thew way to the head of the box and debeted what to do, when the same muffied voice was heard to remark: "Polly wants a cracker l" Then the mystery was explained. Some one at Denver had expressed a parrot to a friend in Kansas Cify. Its cage had been set away and forgotten, and the bird had naturally become hungry and thirsty. So it waited as long as it could, and then made it- self heard in the mannet that so horrified the expreas messenger. Post When Scarcity. Ecuador, with ebout one million inhabi. tants, has only 47 post oftioes, but they are so Widely distributed that it requires a mail carriage of 5,389 nines to rea,oh them a1l-72 miles by canoes and 5.817 by horaes and glides. About 500 miles of the seaboard is also covered by foreign fateamship mail serv- ice. Between Quito and Guayaquil there are two mails each way weekly by tiouriers— the usual time one way, travelling day and night, being six days. Other sections of the country are leas favored, the receipt and departure of mails ranging from °Me A week to once a month, as people happen to be going. BEATH BY RLEurNacrrY.

The meme ment is certainty striking ad effective, but the mixture of Clessiciam and Romanticism, and the blending of bronze, iron, stone, and marble matte it rather incoherent. It also look too fragile and tco modern in the sha- dow of the more magnificent and antique monutnent, the foundations of which were laid by Philip Augustus, The Penalty of Greatness. The German who has 'been arrested in Lendon for threatening to murder Mr. Gledetone turns out to be an author. It seems that he sent the manuscript of a story to Mr. Gladstone with the request that he would read it. Some way the manuscript was mislaid, and then the Gertnan au tbor wrote the threatening letter. One of the oenalties of being a great literary man is that literary men who are not great are always trying to climb the ladder of bane over his shoulders. Afr. Gladstone ia bom- barded with letters and postal cards from all parts of the world, salting all gotta of questions and saliciting all sorts of opinions. The wonder is that he gets time to answer asmany of themes he does. That the German author's story was mislaid is nob to be won- dered at. It would be well for the world if the stories of a good many mere authors were to meet with a similar fate. Unlike Milton's "Paradise Lost," which, we were told, " the world would not willingly let die," the world would be very glad to see the last of many of the trashy aroductions thrown on the market by immat,we authors. 13ut the German author who has been threatening to murder kir.

Probably the most interesting railroad construction of recent years is the Russian road from the Caspian Sea to Summand, a distance of 900 mites across great demote, which was bowie fn 1889 and completed it few months agt.

A trip combining pleasure and study will take about thirty scientific men of Austria few toward the North Pole this summer. They intend to take a look at the mountains and fiords of Spitzbergen, to have a brief run inGreenland and Iceland, and to vend a week or so on the interesting Wand of Jan Mayen, near the edge of Greenland pack ice. A. large Norwegian yacht will carry them over the northera seas, end if they have good luck they hope to reach 800 north latitude sea look out over the Polar ice sap from the north comet of Spitzbergen. The pleasures of summer yaohneg in northern waters have been pictured in glowing colors by Dr. Sayer, and Lard Dafferin.

A Marvel ia SteeL There are 150,000 miles of railway in the United States;) 300,000 miles of rails— in length enough to make twelve steel girdles for the earths circumference. This enormous length of steel is wonderfed—we do not really glop its eignificance, But the rail itself, the little section of steel, is an engineering feat. The change of ka form from the curious and clumsy iron pear head of thirty years ago to the present refitted motion of steel is a scientific development. It is now a beam whose every dimension and curve and angle are exactly suited to the tremendous work it has to do. The loads it carries are enormous, the blows it receives are heavy and constant, but it carries the loads and bears the blows and does ito duty. The locomotive and the =dem past:eager and freight oars are great achievements ; and so is the little rail which cue ies them all. A Frenchman claims to have invented it thermometer so sensitive that its index needle will defied two inches upon the en. trance of a person into the room where it has beet placed. The fabric knowo as Chinese grata- cloth is made from the fibre of nettles. TI19 cloth is peculiarly glossy and transparent, a nd as belting for machinery, has doable the trength of leather.

Sabbath -Day HowenS. Every one went to chew& in the colonial days of :leTevr Etteand. Families living at a disetence from the meeting -home came pre- pared to spend the intermistion between the morning and afternoon services in the Sebbath day houses." These houses accordinte to a deecription published in Sanford's "History of Conran - tient,' were small log toracturee, twenty. five feet long, rea broad, and one storey high. A chimney in ties middle divided the whole space into two rooms, for the use of the two families who united itt building the home. The furniture consisted of afeW chairs, a table, platea, dishes, and Immo utensils for warming cooked food. Oa a shelf were a Bible and two or three religione books. In winter, on Sunday morning, before starting for ehurch, the mother of the family put up food for dinner, not forgetting a jug of cider. The family rode in a large two - horse sleigh, stopped at the Sabbath house, kindled a fire, and then went into the cold meeting house, where the minister preached in an overooat, with a nitflier about his neck, and mittens on his hands. The woman carried heated stones in their muffs, and the men drew bags over their fan No chronicler informs no how the boys and girls managed to keep warm during the service. At the conclusion of the morning serviee,, the family hurried back to the warm room of the Sabbath house, where they took their dinner and drank cider erom a pewter mug. Thanks were then returned, and the review of the sermon began. If the sermon foiled to furnish sufficient reetter to occupy the hour, n chapter in the Bible sons read, or a few pages from a religious book. Singing.and prayer sent them to the after- noon servwe ha a devotional frame of miod, at the conclusioneof which they returned to. the Sabbath -day house, extinguished the, fire, looked the door, and started for home.
