FEEI8 PERFORMED DY THE DEAD fae+!r Cotte.?_ ,ieexee&tem A recent newspaper tells of an express train, carrying scores of passengers,: running for miles with the cold hand of the dead engineer grasping the throttle, Like many other true incidents, the story is more weird than any fiction. Theengineer was at his post on his side of, the cab, his head out of the, window, his hand on the throttle. The fireman was at- tending to his duties, teasing coal into the furnace, and now and then giving a blast on the whistle. Once or twice ha spoke to the en- gineer and gat no answer, but he supposed his mate was not in a talkative mood. As the train approached a sta 's: tion where is was wont to stop the, fireman' gave a Iong blast on the whistle, the signal that a halt was to be made. But the train aped on with unslackened speed. Not until it had gone past the sta- tion like a flash did the fireman's suspicions become aroused. "What's the matter, Bill l" he asked. "We ought to have stop- ped there." There was no response, and the now frightened fireman placed his hand on the engineer's shoulder. He withdrew it with ayell when he found Cha man's body stiff in death. With a presence of mind born of a life of danger, the fireman quickly rdversed the lever acid brought the train to a stop. How long the engineer had been dead isnot known, but it was prob- ably half an hour or more. A weak heart, a slight convulsion un- noticed by the busy fireman, and •, the engineer was dead at his post,. while death's hand held the throt- tle. Several years ago a Russian cemetery was the scene of a weird wedding. A young woman who had been .betrothed died suddenly on the eve of, her marriage. Great preparations had been made for the wedding,` and the bridegroom and his friends determined that the intervening ,hand of death should not interfere with the ceremony. The funeral cortege then became e. bridal party. The bridegroom walked beside the coffin containing the body of his fiancee as it. was borne to the cemetery. At the grave the marriage ceremony was performed, after which the body of the bride, clad in her wedding gar meets, was lowered into the grave. The story of the Phantom Ship or , the Flying Dutchman, who for blasphemy was condemned to try in vain to beat abound Cape Horn un- til the Day of Judgement, has its modern example in the fate of the ship General Siglin, about ten years ago. " The General. Siglin. sailed from San Francisco for Al- aska, int never reached her des- ,tination. Months later the seal- ing schooner Arietis was cruising about 200 miles off the coast of British Columbia when she sighted a ship. - The Arietia signalled the schooner, but got no answer. Run- ning closer to the vessel, the crew of the, Aristis made out the figure of a man at the helm, grasping the wheel, hie gaze apparently fixed Intently ahead. The man at the wheel was hailed, but returned no answer. The story of the ship's fate can only be conjectured, as none ofi her crew was ever seen alive. It is supposed that the vessel was caught in a storm and bean to leak bad- • ly, and the, crew deserted her, the captain refusing to leave his ves- sel. Not many years ago a valuable cup was won in a bicycle race in Australia by a man who was dead when he passed the winning -post, The race took place before a•crowd estimated at 10.000 persons. The betting was lively and the contest close, and the ,spectators were work- ed uF to a high pitch of excitement. In the last lap James Somerville, one of the riders, forged ahead and. got such a lead that victory was assured. When within twenty Ave, yards of the finish those nearest to him saw him relax his hold on the handle bars and lose his footing on the +pedals.. Amid the freebie eheers of the spectators he sped past the goal, winning the race by a few yards, and pitched forward from his machine.' He was picked up dead, and doctors declare the spark of life loft his body when he was seen to lose his grip on the handle, bars. It was a lifeIesa body that had eroseed the line a winner. Many sportsmen will recall the part which the proprietor; of a London gambling -house was made to play after death. The man's name was Creckford, and he own- ed many race -horses. The day before the'Derby elle, of Crockfard's horses was poisoned, and the mis- fortune brought on an attack of apoplexy, which caused his death o lots. that night, Many of his friends ' a a however, and these were sworn to 2 socreey. r On the day of Cho race Cheek - ford's body was made to look as life- like at passible and was placed in a chair at an upper window of his home. pertly concealed by the lace, curtains.

Hie berms won 'land the next day it was announced i that Croekfoi'd was dead. It was several years before the true facts leaked out. Of all the stories of the days of chivalry none is more interesting than how the Cid Champeadori "God's scourge upon the Moore,' WOW a battle alter death. The Cid died at Valencia, and before death directed that his body be tak- en to Sastile. Just about this time a mighty army laid siege to Val- encia, but the story is best told in the quaint language of the chroni- cler :— "All this while, the company of the Cid ware preparing all things to go into Castile., as he had com- manded before his death, and his trusty Gil Diez slid nothing else but labor at this And the body of the did was pree arsd after this man- ner s First, it was :embalmed. and anointed as the ,history hast already recounted, and the virtue of the balsam and myrrh was such that the flesh remained firm and fair, having its natural color, and his countenance as it was wont to be, and his eyes open, and his long beard in order, so there, was not a man who would have thought him dead if lie had seen him and not known it. And Gil Diez placed the oody upon a right noble saddle., and this saddle, with the body upon it, he put upon a frame; and he dress- ed the body in a gambax of fine sendal next the, skin. And he took two boards and fitted them to the body, one to the breast and the other to the shoulders. These were so hollowed out and fitted than they met at the sides and under the arms, and the hind one eame, up to the poll and the other up to the beard, and these boards were fastened to the saddle so that the body could not move. "Now Alvar Fanez Minaya had set the host in order, and, while the Bishop Don Hieronymo and Gil Diez led the way with the body of the Cid and Dana Ximena and the baggage, he full upon the Moors. : And so great was the uproar and confusion that few there were who took arms, but instead thereof they turned their backs and fled to- ward the sea. "And when King Buear .and his kings saw this they were, astonish- ed. And it seemed to them that there same against them on the part of th•e. Christians full 70,000 knights, all white as snow, and be- fore them a knight of 'great stature. upon a white horse with a bloody cross, who bore in one hand a white banner and 'in the, other a sword which seemed to be of fire, and he made a great mortality among the Moors." PRICE OF PEDDLER'S ACRE. Fifteenth Century Legacy Involv- ing $400,000. A nese which will decide the al- location of $405,000, now in chan- cery, will shortly come on in the law' courts of 'London, England. The story of this money opens in the fifteenth century, when a peddler bequeathed to the old Lambeth parish an acre of river- side land on the condition that his dog, which had accompanied him in his travels, might be buried in the churchyard. The peddler's legacy, kno'-n as the Peddler 's Acre, brought Li only some 70 cents a year originally, but at the time the London County Council acquired the estate the Lambeth Council was receiving $9,000 a year from it. The money woe devoted to the reduction of the local rates, being equivalent to a rate one one farthing in the pound The London County Council bought the estate to build its new county hall on it, the prise being $405,000. The money was paid•in- to chancery, as the Council did not wish to participate in the dispute which arose as to its allocations In old days there had been many fights over the property, and in 1824 an :attempt was made to sell - or mortgage the acre in order to build a chapel in tae district. The inhabitants protested. and secured an Act of Parliament in the reign of George IV., vesting the property in the rector and churchwardens and ten other rated inhabitants, the rents and proceeds to be ap- plied to parochial .purposes. The churchwardens claimed•a share of the price paid by the Comity Coun- cil, and the fight now lies between 'them and the Lambeth Borough Connell. A RUST PREVENTIVE.

But these inconsisten- cies are, after all, less absurd than the turmoil to which this alleged simplification reduces ' language. These amiable visionaries can never make any progress until they have settled finally the vexed ques- tion of pronunciation. We must fust 'have it absolutely establish- ed that "gairi" or "gurl," "esot- eric" or "esoteric," "imbecile" or ''imbecile," "i eether1f or ,t sfther," is the correct •usage before we can possibly contemplate any attempt to reduce the writing of the words to simplicity. And these, few werde, taken at random as the first crossing our mind, are only a fraction of the pronunciations that, perhaps by reason of the advance in general ignorance, have become doubtful. Of course, the English language is a topsy-turvy business.

We shall not defend that language from the accusations of these phonetic re- formers, though we might remind them that the English language is. still the most beautiful and flex- ible vehicle of thought and exlires- sion. It is enough to know that their distinguished and sincere de- sire for these reforms must be balked by the fact that the proposed reforms can only make confusion worse confounded.

The edict sanctioning the aboli- tion of the pigtail reminds us that it is not so very long since the pig- tail disappeared not merely from the army and navy but even from every-daycivilian li!e in England, says the London Chronicle. Waist - king pigtails were the fashionable wear in England about 1740 and be- fore that the bag wig had been adorned with a pigtail looped up in a black silk bag. As late as 1858 a.t old gentleman wen seen n I'heapside with his gray hair lied behind in' a short queue, and even today we can find a relio of the pigtail, for the three pieces of black velvet on the dress tunic of officers in the Royal Welsh Fusil- iers are the remains of the ribbon with which the queue was tied. as HATE ROYAL'BLOOD IN VEINS.

While, as we have seen; the safety of industrial bonds varies very ooasiderabh, from the highly speculative—in the case of mining companies—to the, relatively, very conservative, where the value of land equals or exceeds the amount of the bond issue, the rate of income does not, as a rule, vary greatly. Of course, the net return on the amount of the investment in Black Lake asbes. toe bonds at tho present time cannot be far abort. of 23 per Dent. (one cannot speak with accuracy as the makers of any bond .income table that the writer ha's seen did not contemplate such a huge return on bonds). Outside of this, we may well hope, unique instance. the return varies about as that on municipals with the very important difference, ,that the basis of comparison is about a point higher, The average net return on in. dustrials is higher for equal security than that upon any other form of, fund- ed corporate obligation. This constitutes oae of the chief ad- vantages of industrial bends. A second point in favor of "Indestri• ale" is their .marketability. Nat allin. dustrial bonds possess this advantage, and to some degree at least it depends on the policy of the. issuing house. As a rule, however, an issue which could be reaommended to a careful investor would possess the very distinot advant- age of being readily marketable, Ou the other hand, many very well scour- ed and otherwise desirable industrial bends are diffioult to market. It is im- portant, therefore, to decide beforehand whether marketability is a feature to be particularly desired before deciding on an investment, The prospect of appreciating in value of as industrial bond depends a great deal on the activity of the market for that particular bond, Through improve,. meet in plant, increased business, aug- mented assets and in other ways the company may improve its position, and, therefore,the security behind its bonds and naturally the value of the bonds; but if this is not reflected in the mar het prise of the bonds it is of .email in,. portanco. So, very inactive bonds are not likely to appreciate materially while the more apeoulative issuesoften show marked appreciaation as conditlone int prove. Take, for example, Canada Ce- ment bonds, On the week ending Tams ary6, 1911; the bonds sold in some volume at. 58: Last week the quotation was 1011.4 bid.

Influence of Famous Women Over Fatuous hien. There are four women who may be said to have greatly influenced the life of Napoleon. These four are the only ones who need be taken into account by the student of his Imperial career. The great Emperor . was susoeptiblo to fem- inine charms at all times. Women, to him, were the creatures of the moment, although he might seem to care for them or show his love in an extravagant way. Ho preferred that a woman should be womanly, and out a sort of owl to sit and and not a sort of owl to alt and government. Of the four women who influ- enced Napoleon, first meet come Josephine, because slie secured for him his earliest chanes of achieve- ment, When ho discovered her perfidy he divorced her and mar- ried Marie Louise of Austria, Na- poleon's sister, Pauline Bonaparte, was the third woman who domes to mind when we contemplate the great Corsican's career, She would gladly have followed him to St. Helena had the English Gov- ernment permitted it, The fourth woman, Marie Walewska, may be said to have almost equalled Jose- phine in her influence on the Em- peror, as well as in the pathos of her life story. BRIDE'S GOWN OF CRIMSON. Mary, Queen of Soots, First Started Custom of Wearing White. The majority of brides choose white when selecting their wedding dress because it, is the, conventional color, and ,many persons are of the opinion that it always has been fav- ored. As a matter of fact, it 10 of eomps,ratively modern origin, and in most eastern countries pink is the bridal Dolor.. During the middle ages and in the Renaissance' period brides wore crimson to the'exelusion of all other colors. Mast of the Plantagenet and Tudor Queens were married in that vivid hue which is still popular in parts of Brittany, where the bride is usually dressed in crim- son brocndo, It was Mary Stuart who 'first changed the color of tite bridal gar- ments. At her niarriaa'e with Francis II. of.Frn.noe in 1568, w,hieh took place nob before the •altar, but before the great doors of Notre Dame, she was gowned' in white birocade,, with a trek - of pale blue Persian velvet six yards in leegth, This innovation caused a great stir in the, fashionable world of that time.

Notwithstanding same st,re'nuous. contemporary effort to : belittle the nomenclature of our ancestors the name "cold's" as applied to that dismal" eombinati'on of aliening, nose blowing and general wretched- ness is a good one. Cold is almost invariably the primary cause, of colds, while bacteria, which of late have been receiving the chief credit for these disturbances, come in slessondary or tertiary sequcuoo, says the Dietie and Hygienic Gazette, .• Bacteria swarm most abundantly in warns weather, and yet winter is theseason of colds. • Yes, there are summer colds, bet they fol- low some indiscretion, such as silting on the cold ground or lying in a relaxed state in too much in- timacy with a heat extracting draught.

Cold is and always has been the greatest enemy to life. Life awarme in the tropics, but leads a eorry existence itt the poles. And this reminds us: of the chief argu- ment of the all bacteria etiologists for coals. They will say immediately that Arctic explorers do not suffer from colds until they return to . civiliza- tion, when "they all comp down with colds:" It may be that the aiders and abettors of sold in its production of disease are absent or in abeyance in thsAretic regions, but men who go into that region become so exhausted during their prolonged exposure to cold that they aro rendered upon their re- turn to warmer regions a mors than easy prey to the bacteria We have never read that explor- ers in the tropics succumbed to colds an their return to the tem- perate regions, even though tho return is made in January. Even the Indians \now enough to keep themselves warns and especial- ly to guard against refrigeration of the extremities. Bon Franklin tolle no how they took this precau- tion even in time of war when it was too dangerous for them to here a smoking fire: They dug a pit in which they set fire to charred re- mains of burned trees, and slept with .their legs dangling in the thole. A hunter in the Canadian woods who notwithstandinghis absence from civilization tooa severe cold asked his sole companion, an Indian guide, how to keep fromtaking cold.

Even an Indian whose skin has not been so +softened to the effects of colds as have ours appreciates that cold is the antecedent of colds and takes precaution acoordingly. Undoubtedly overexposure to high' temperatures may also reduce our immunity to the germs lying aboiit, but the colds we take after being in overheated rooms prob- ably more often come from the re- sulting chill of going too abruptly into the cold than from the warmth of the room itself, although super- heating renders an animal more susceptible to infection. It is, howeser,only in cold weather that Moms are heated much • ahove the surrounding atmosphere. Again, cold' is really to blame for the re, - sults.
