The Light -keeper at Blaok Books.
"That girl's singing—I am about tired of
it 1" exclaimed the old light -keeper pettish-
ly. "I will go up into the lantern!
Re climbed the stairway leading to the
lantern, but while he escaped the sound, he
could not get away from the memory of the
singing,
"We do forgive, and freely, too;
For we wattle like to be forgiven,'
were the words of the song thet Jennie
Sinclair's rich yonng voice lifted. She was
getting ready the old light -keeper's supper,
and though, only it child, it had often been
said of her by her grandpa: "My grandarter
Is only a leetle gal, but somehow her sup-
pers are like an old housekeeper's." .
Her suppers pleased him more then her
singing. The latter did not suit him, for it
did not suit his mood, and this was it yin-
dietive feeling towards skipper John Berry,
it fishermen. Skipper John sailed in a boat
he called Spiteful. She was trueto her
name. More than once she had upset
him. Still he clung to her, and that very
day of our story 1-0 had sailed by the light-
house, As ha wept, he saw Grandpa Sin-
clair out on the rocks fishing. Resting on
his oars, he opened it conversation with the
light -keeper.
The two men got into a 'dispute about
the merits of a certain method of fishing.
Skipper John Berry threw two or three
ungentlemanly epithets at the light -keeper.
"Yon. ought to be ashamed of yourself,
replied the Nett -keeper-
' am too muels like you to be ashamed
of myself for anything Ido," was the fisher-
man's answer, The man on the rooks was
very much offended.
go, he did not like Jonme's song to -day,
He went outside the lantern, and leaning
over a parapet of stone gaud upou the sea.
The face which the old sou' -wester shadow-
ed was it marked one. it was a rugged face,
but listelligent, aud the heavy square jaws
showed haw resolute be 'could be. So he
stood there watching, the sea, which was
everywhere vast, and silent and serious,
then looking up at that sky out of which
comes so much of our weether, finally look-
ing down again.
Whish "1 he exclaimed abrsrptly.
" WhaVs that? Skipper John Berry's boat;
I know her. Trouble, eh 1 Don't care if he
does get bothered a bit"
The weather beaten face watched all the
more keenly the struggling boat off Black
Rooks.
"Fin., ha !" laughed the light -keeper.
" John will have to learn how to steer it
boat. 0, what a fool ! Well, well, let Win
orry. 'Twill do him good. Should's%
mind if he got—"
Was he going to say upset? He did not
say it, for suddenly up the lantern stairs,
as if a spring robin were singing, there
came a sweet warble,
"We do forgive, and freely. too,
Eor we w uld like to bo forgiven."
" That gal 1" said the lighakeeper pet-
tishly.
That robin, he should have said ; that
robin that would keep on singing of sweet
charity, and would not be stopped.
And whet did the robin do but come up
into the lantern itself 1 Singing, too, all
the way, louder and sweeter.
"Can's stand. everything 1" murmured
the old light -keeper, brushing the tears
from his eyes. "Sounds like her mother's
voice when she was it girl, and she is an
n gel in Heaven."
The lantern was just a bird -cage now, fill -
'ed, flooded with trembling, ecstatic notes,
nod all about precious forgiveness.
" Got to go after John" 1 aid the light -
keeper, hurriedly deserting the lanteru.
Set an extra plate on the supper -table,
Jennie."
" What for"? she asked.
" Set it on" 1 he shouted, and was gone.
Jennie went after him as far as the light-
house door, and there stood and watched
awhile the departing boat.
" 0" 1 she cried, lifting her eyes*. " There
in some trouble at, ilia& Rock"
Yes, trouble enough ! John Berry's boat
has upset at last. The surf that flung its
white arms over the black rocks, as if to
pull them away and drown them in the deep
sea, almoat seemed to turn back as if to
bury poor John. He bravely struggled
through with the death threatening him.
And what did he soon see? "Boat com-

sky—"God helpiu' me, we will beat death"!
.And. death that time was beaten. The
fisherman was reach.ed. He was pulled into
the boat. He was taken to the lighthouse.
He was led into the kitchen.
"Here we are"! cried the light -keeper.
" And here I am", responded the nimble
little housekeeper. "And poor J ohn"!

for his rude behavior.when he addressed the

Into a pint of flour sifted with it heaping
teaspoonful of baking powder and half it

very cold water (abut a third of it cupful)
to make it rather soft biscuit -like dough.

closely with a stout string and pop it into a
potful of boiling water; cook for three
hours and do not, bIt the water stop boiling
for a moment; replenish from the hot tea-
kettle. It should turn out a light, appe-
tizing -looking ball. Half a. cup of granulat-
ed sugar may be rubbed through the flour if

Wein% AND GRAHAM Bareen.--For a
large loaf, each of white a.nd graham., boil
two good-sized potatoes. Make smooth
with cold water, one heaping tablespoonful
of flour; add &heaping teaspoonful each of
salt and. white sugar; sift into this the
potato; scald all thoroughly with boiling
water, making a rather thin batter; set
aside to cool; when lukewerm, add lialf a,
cake of compressed yeast (or its equivalent)
dissolved in a little warm water. Cover
closely, set in a warm place over night. In
the morning add warm, water to make about
three pints of wetting; d ivide for two loaves.
Have white and graham flour warmed, the
former sifted. For the white beef, stir is
flour with a spoon till like stiff cake dough;
do the same for the graham loaf, using
graham flour, and adding a, heaping table-
spoonful of brown sugar. Keep warm till
light, then knead thoroughly using only
white flour for both kinds of bread. The
flour should be warm and worked in slowly
(rnueli depends upon this) until the mass is
elastic but not sticky. This may be put
into pans at once, but it hi better to let it
rise again, then knead lista loaves, using but
little flour. Let it rise to more than double
its own size ; bake in an oven quite hot at
first, but cooled down slightly after the
loaves begin to brown; they should rise
very little efter going into the oven. If the
beet is just right they will be sufficiently
baked in three-quarters of an hour, possibly
less. Graham bread requires, perhaps a
trifle longer baking than the white. Take
from the tins immedietely and expose to
the air as much of the surface as possible;
if in an open window, all the better. This
produces a soft crust ; leave it until nearly
cold, then cover. —(Good Housekeeping.

ON A RAILROAD TRAIN.
The Safest Mace to Ride.
Any man who is supposed to keow much
about railroada ie enre to be asked what is
the safese place in it train. The question is
an easy one to answer by reasoning, but the
soundness of the reasoning is hard to prove.
There is no doubt as to what is the most
dangerous place. That is on the locomotive.
In most serious accidents to passenger trains
the engine is involved.
In
it butting collision, or "tail -eider," an
engine runs into the rear of a standing traiu,
oeone moving more slowly. In a side col
Mon an engine corning off it side track runs
into the eide of at moving or standing brain;
or an engine runs into a tilde at a crossing
of two railroads.
There are variations of all. these sub-
divisions of the collision class of accidents;
but, generally the engine is in the thick of
the wreck.
In derailments, too, the engine goes off
the track and is overturned oftener than any
oat, simply because it the first thing to
strike the obstruction, or tlie brokers rail, or
wrecked bridge. So ib follows that in pas -
;tenger service the en gineman and fireman are
in a position much more dangerous than that
occupied by any other train. hands.
In freight service this danger is son.ewhat
less, relatively, because the brakemen must
run over the tops of -the moving cars, This
is a most dangerous thing -to do at may
tune; and in a snowy night, or a night
when ram is freezing into sleet, it is about
the most perilous thing that human beings
do for a living.
There is another plam where some people
ride which is even snore domgeroua than the
engine or the top of a moving car. This is
the truck frame under' it freight can
Thisnace is frequented by persons who art
neith-er passengere nor emplo3 ees. They
are nat even named ; but when once them
gets killed he is reported as a tramp."
When we think of the clanger and horrible
discomfort of it railroad journey in that
place, 11 seems as if ono would almost as
soon work as travel in that way,
After a little thought one would say the
aafest place in a railroad train is in the
middle of one of the ears, somewhat ahead
of the middle of the train. If all accidents
were collisions, and all cers were of equal
strength, this would be true. Whether the
collision is a butting one or a " taileuder,"
the full force of the blow is felt by the
vehicle which is struck first; and the force
is gradually lost as it is carried forwardor
backward through the train, till some place
ie found in the tram where the blow is least
felt.
For example, in case of a tail -end collision,
the rear ca,r may be snuished into kindliug-
wood, the next one less injured, and. so
on to the ba,ggag,e car, where the shook may
be so slight that men stAndiug there are not
thrown down.
Therefore, one uould thiuk that the safest
place is just in the middle of the train ;
but there are two reasons why.the safest
place is forward of the middle ea the train.
The engine is so much heavier andstrong-
er than any car that it takes up more of the
shock then is abeorbed by a cat On this
accoent, if your train is run into from the
front, the force of the blow cannot travel
back so many feet as it can travel forward
when the treats is run into from the rear.
The second reason is, that rear collisions
oat number butting ones nearly two to one.
The records of the List eleven years show
almost exactly two to one,
For crossing collisions no rule can be laid
down, because the train is as likely to be
struck in one place aa in another.

At the moment a gentle clinking nf silver-

The answer was quite inarticulate.
" Haven't you always said that it would
go hard with a burglar who had the nerve
to break into your house ?" .

"Haven't you insisted that if be escaped

There was absolutely no reply.
" I've been thinking, Alice, since you
woke me."
"Indeed?"
"1)3 just occurs to me, my love, that my
lifo insurance policy expired to -day."
The door from the dining room into the
front hall was heard to creak on its hinges.
" Alice, 1 cau't bear to thiuk of leaving
you to struggle alone in the world."
To judge from the sound, serious articles
were being placed in a sack, presumably for
facility in transporbation.
"My love, I am convinced that this is a
case for compromise. If those people stop
right where they are and go quietly away
now, I am disposed to hi?. lenient"
Very distinctly they heard the front door
open and close, after which stealthy foota.
steps sounded from the street.
"They've got everything." she moaned.
" Everything.

trouble." he declared decisively, "if they
hadn't stopped right where they were,"
To his friends next day he wondered how
thieves could get away with so much plun-
der and not awaken a, single member of the
How Relies are Made.
Mr. Archibald Forbes, writing on the fall
of Sedan, tells a curious little story which
shows bhe dubious origin of historical relies.
After all was over, and General Wimpfen
had signed the capitulation, Mr. Forbes and
a companion found shelter for the night in
the very room where ,the capitulation was
drawn up. While he sab writieg to his
newspaper, his friend gnawed a ham bone,
there beteg nothing left to eat. At last the
man threw the ham -bone carelessly upon
the
table, and it upset Mn.Mr. Forbes's ink -
bottle. Some time after, Mr. Forbes re-
visited the scene, and the guide showed him
the table m'arked by a huge ink -stain, which
Wimpfen had messed by overterning the
ink -bottle in the agitation of his Shame and
grief. Great sums had been effered for the
table with the historic ink -stain, but the
owner valued it too much to part with it.

Small Boy (joyfully)—" Oh, yes, ma'am,
—if you'll tell me what words to use."
So far, then, we have proved that the
safest part of a. train is nomewhere forward
of the middle. This worildbe the caeeif eller
most railroad accidents were collisions ; but
in fact there are about twenty-five per cent
more of derailments than of collisious.
In a derailment, the forward part of a
train is the more likely to be injured; and
in tlsis class of accidents the place of great-
est safety is probably the rear car.
So, taking the average of collision and
derailments together, the safest place seems
to be somewhere back of the middle car,
but somewhere forward of the rear car,
As a rough uuess, correct enough for prac
ticalpurposes71 should say that the" safest,
place' is about two-thirds of the way back
of the locomotive. This, however, is only a
guess, and cannot be proved.
The safest can having been found approx-
imately, it remains to see what is the safest
place in that car. This is doubtless the
middle. In collisions, the injuries to persous
are generally caused by telescoping." The
floor -timbers of 0110 ear got tipped up so as
to slide over those of the car next to it; or
one car may be higher or narrower than
another. The heavy framework of the
higher or narrower ear is driven into
the other one tearing out the seats and
cutting throug% the light side framing.
Of course the chances of iujury are more
near the end that is crushed in. In derail-
ments, too, the greatest damage to the cars
is generally near the ends.
Let us see how our theory fits in with the
facts. We will take only the most serious
accidents of 1889 and 1800. In August,
1890, there was a, derailment at Quincy,
Mass., in which twenty-three persons wore
killed and thirty were wounded. All who
were fatally injured were in one car --the
fourth from the engine and the sixth from
the rear. This car, while not in tbe posi-
tion as we have shown to be she safest, was
still in a relatively safe pint of the train.
A derailment at Carmel, Indiana, in Jan-
uary, 1890, resulted in the death of six and
injury of twenty-six. In this etwe the
wrecked cars were the last three of the train
—quite contrary to our theory.
On the other hand, the two accidents of
1 890 next in importance to the Quincy ac-
cident go to confirm the theory, At Shoe.
makersville, Pa., September, an engine a.nd
five cars went over a. bank and twenty-one
people were killed and thirty injured. The
rear of the train stayed on the track. At
Oakland, Cal., in June, the first car of a
train went iuto an open drawbridge, and
thirteen persons were drowned.
The worst accident of 1889 also make for
and against the theory. In February, at
St. George, Ontario, a train went through a.
bridge, causing the death of twelve and the
injury of twenty-six. The.engine caused the
wreck of the bridge, but the engine and two
cars went over safely, and all the harm was
done in the last three cars.'
At Hamilton, Ontario, in April, twenty
were killed ana a dozen or more injured in
a derailment. The train consisted of ten
ears, of which only the first four were
wrecked. ,
The most fatal accident of the year, and
one of the worst in railroad history, was
near Armagh, Ireland, in June. About
eighty were killed and two hundred and
sixty injured. The rear ten cars of it long
excursion train broke away on it grade, ran
back down the hill and collided with the
engine of a following train. In this case
the front third of' the train would haye been
the safest place, and the rear third was the
most daugerous.
