There Is no one who ca likegood

flash. The best part of a painting

JUST SLID OFF TH TRACK.
Peculiar Incident In Connectiase
With a Enilrond cident; '
"You see some umiceountlabla accidents
In railroading," said ' a 'llaston railroad
Man the other day. "Sone years ago I
worked on the old Maine "rientraL when
Paybon Tucker—God rest his soul, for
he was , a getwrous en/payee and the
best of men—was 'imager of the line. .lt
was in tho days whenthey were bringing
the road up to date, and nothing was
being spared in °epees° de roadbed or
rolling stock, .
"One dey the Boston ex reefs ran into
Waterville and after the regular ten
mintites. for refreehments s tuned for Att-
gusta. She hadn't gone 50 yards before,
.gently, even confPlft iCfltly, the ea -

though that was (he way site usually did
things. A in,sty examinhtion Showed
that half of the flange On one of the for -
Ward -wheels of the pony t oleic had bro-
-ken off. They sent posthaste for an-
other track, jacked up the engine and
pet it in place of the injared DaV, and
the train W CIS Soon on its way again.
Thou they started to find out the-iplace
where the flange had dropped off'.
"The road rune across the Kennebec
just north of the railroad shops, and from
the shops t� the station It is a nerfectlit
straight track. It was supposed that the
break had occurred somewhere on that
straight line, as it seemed impossiale for
the engine to bold the track on a curve
saith only half a flange on its front wheel.
It wasn't there, hewever, and a system-
atic search up the line was ordered, and
something like 30 miles away, near New-
port, it was finally discovered by a track
walker.
"Up and down steep grades, round
sharp curves and across a river had that
engine run in that condition, and finally,
after passing through rail work to make
a sound engine shudder, it had hopped a
straight piece of track when hardly more
than moving and when the only thing
destroyed or &imaged was time. The
fearful accident that might well have
happened, it has always seemed to me,
must have been averted by rhat the law
would term an act of God."
tiERMAN OFFICERS' PAY.
Teutonic Commanders; Receive Leer
Than British Contemporaries.
It will be interesting if we compare the
status and pay of German officers of the
navy with those serving in the British
marine: A Germane admiral of the fleet
receives i£600 per annum, a free furnish-
ed honsq, firing and light, £80 for car-
riage ha.° and table money and allow -
alt additional £000. His total in-
come, therefore, is £1,580 per annum. A
British ladmiral on the home command
receives 'from £3,420 to £3,907. The Ger-
mail captain's salary is £390, that of the
English/hen 4410 to £620. A. German
lieutenant in command has 4195, an Eng-
lish lieutenant in the same position £201
to £274. chief inspector of machinery
afloat in the British navy has MO, in
Germany only £330. A. British fleet sur-
geon has £493 to £602, 'a German 4390.
It will thus be seen that the British oill-
eera all through, are in a better pecunia-
k]ry position than those in the German
fleet. German marine officers are usually
taken from the same rank as in Englend.
Before becoming a midsbipman or sea
cadet, as he is called in Germany, the
youth who intends to devote himself to
the navy must be able to pass a satisfac-
tory examination on the level to which a
fifth form boy at an English public school
has attained. His first year's service is
spent in stedy and military exercises on
shore, the study of the English language
hieing a prominent part of his work. He
Is then placed on a training ship for a
year, and after passing a satisfactory ex-
amination he is removed to the marine
school for another year. The technical
knowledge obtained bere is then employed
tar two years at sea, and should the can-
didate for the nityal profession prove
himself competent he is promoted at the
end of these two years to the rank of
lieutenant. During the first ten years b;
a German naval officer's career his in-
eome falls short of his expenditure by a -
SUM of £500; that Is to say, in addition to
his pay he requires, on an average, £50 a
year to keep him. In the British service
the average expenditure of an officer in
addition to his pay is £95 a year.—Leh,
sure Hours.
Mules of Quality/
It is a usual mistake, and a very big
one, to think that a mule cannot show
blood. He does show' it ofteu more dis-
tinetly than the horse. And there is no
oilier animal.an which good blood is so
distinctly profitable. The mule from a
well bred dam May stand a hand lower,
weigh a hundred lighter than his half
brother out of a Canestoga mare, yet as
a 2 -year-old in the sales ring will fetch
half as much again, Olio because a wise
buyer knows that • blooded mules have
even better endurance than blooded
-
horses. Reasonably _well used, they are
sightly and sprightly animals at thirty
'odd, Then, too, they eat less and, pro --
portional to weight,I pull more, They
are quicker, hardier, more intelligent and
of better mettle. As an offset, the intelli-
gence once misdirected Is apt to verge on
the diabolic.—Leslie's Monthly.
Spanish Surnames.
In addition to three or four Christian
names the Spanish child bears the com-
bined family names of his father and
mother. When the surnames are doubled,
or convected by the particltay, meaning
"and," the first is the more important
one, and the only one that may betaken
alone, for it is in the father's name, while
the last is in the name of the mother. In
Spain they knew no "senior" and "jun-
ior." Father and sou may bear tfie same
Christian name, but each takes his own
mother'name as a distinction, the fa-
ther being, for instance, Pedro Dias y
Castillo and the son Pedro Diaz y Blanco.
Not Ready For That.
"I understand," said the reporter, "that
you are going to turn your establishment

"That's an outrageous lie!" exclaimed
the head of the firm with ill concealed im-
patience. "I want you to understand, sir,
that this pine' is still paying handsenee
dividends".

phized Uncle Allen Sparks, "Is that when
you eat them you have to take so many,
