li Between the stories of Conductor Tom Pope and Sandy McTougal, backed by Sandy McTougal's friends, one gets a pretty good idea of Sandy's remarkable adventure with a voice*or, as Sandy terms it, u-iththedev1l4nabox. Tom Pope is conductor and Mc Tougal is baggage master on tho Air line, which runs from the At lantic ocean td "the middle of next week." 1 "Most astonishing thing, that hunt of Sandy's for a voice," said thc conductor ?ho other night. '.What was that?" "Well, it was thisr Sandy was loiielv and miserable. Nobody talk ed to him or gave him a quarter for not smashing the baggage, so ho took to brown studies and naps be tween stations. Tho night of his voice business his car was jomful of luggage. The more trunks Sandy bas on board the crosser he gets. There was a camp meeting on a switch off track, and at the junction I picked up a lot of nobby passen gers who were leaving for other places of amusement, and th?re was 110 end of trunks. "McTougal got th:'r*gs into shape about ll o'clock, I reckon, and as there's a part of the run where it's a good hour between stations he rot ready for a snooze. He picked out thc softest trunk in the pile on which to pillow his head, tilted back his chair with his feet on the rounds, pulled his hat over his face and went to sleep. How's, that, Mac?" "Quite keerect," responds the baggage master. "Very well; then you tell it for awhile. I wasn't there, you know." "It didn't seem's if I'd been asleep more'n a minute," began Sandy, "when there was a lively jump of the car, an' I sort of come to life with a jerk. At the same time I liecrd, as if 'way off, a noise like some one a-t&km'. But I thought 'twas a brakeman outside an' was jes' a-dozin' off ag*in when right at my ear in a thin, sharp voice suthin'said,'O Lord!' "I ain't no fool, I ain't," Sandy asserts, throwing back his head de fiantly, "an' when that tin whisper comes into my ear I jes' openad my eyes, spectin' to see some of the boys around. But not a livin' thing was visible. So I said to myself, 'I snored; that's what's the matter/ An* off I goes a-noddin' an' dream in'. "Then ag*in I hears that voice. It says quite distinctly, 1 want to get out !' "Now, I wasn't a bit mistaken this time. I heerd it. But 'fore I could get my wits together there was a yell soundin' 'way off. "'That's my death call,' says I to myself, instantly callin' to mind 'fellows who had heerd like sounds an* were dead in less'n a week. Then I says to myself, 'Sandy, don't be a fool 1' an' jumps to my feet as wide awake as 1 am now. "It was a woman's squawk, an' I could hav* sworn to.it, 'Then it sung out in tin trumpet style: "'Eelp,?elpl* "I hauled over the tool chest an' the water barrel an' the cupboard in the corner an' looked out on the platforms an' did everything a man could do under the circumstances to find out what was a-makin' of that fuss. I went to the sido door to -?ool myself an* was a-fannin* my face when, blame me, if I didn't hear a cornet start off with the Hogues' March' ^.n' a gruff voice foller it with: " 'In the midst of life we are in death.' "? yanked my head round an' didn't see mithin' jth?t wasn't there before. That threw me off my pins. Then a roor.ter crowed, an' a feller with a cold in his nose counted ten forward an' then backward, an an other cuss with a bullfrog voice or dered me: 'Wake npl 'The dev{1 wants you!' Yon needn't laugh, gentlemen, when I tell you I run, an' so'd you if you'd beenV thar. I was certain the devil had come for me, late, but sure, an' I didn't wait for him to ask for my ticket." Tom Pope at this point broke into a stentorian laugh. "If, gentlemen, you'd seen San^y come flying into the car where I was sitting, you would never stop laughing. You may not believe it, but his brown faco was as white as your shirt fronts, and his eves were as big as billiard balls. He dashed down the aisle and whispered in my ear: "'Tom, Tom, come with mel' "'What's the matter, Macr* I ' said, mat ails youf "Tom, the devil's in my car. ! He's been a-cuttin' np for an hour, ! AD.' I'm most crazy. If you're my : friend, como with mel' "He wasn't drnnh because he doesn't drink. It wasn't religious enthusiasm, because Sandy had no religion. I almost behaved ho jneant what he Baid and that he had been called for. I got up in a hur ry and followed him. 'I hadn't more than got inside the baggage car when from among tho trunks something sung ouV abut that door and pull down your vest!' . "Sandy wanted to fight then," continued Tom. "He danced around that car like a prizefighter in the f^g until tho voice cried out quite loud^JDainnationl' ' ?<TPsliaw!' I said to Sandy. 'That is a boxed up parrot/ *' "An* then the parrot told you you lied," asserts McTougal. "Yes," says Tom cheerfully. "An* thea you said--do you re member what you said ?' "No, Mac. But wasn't I at your side when we got into the next coach a second later?" "Wo came back with' two brake men," M?Tou?al remarks, continu ing. "Ono of them brakemen, looked on top of the car an* under it an' in it. Ho stuck to it that there was a ventriloquist about, but gave that idee up when ho couldn't find no body." "We flung those trunks right and left in a lively style," observed Pope, "but not a thing did we dis cover-no human living or dead thing-not a placo from ?which the noise ca ne. We were puzzled, you may believe, and if the search had stopped there the road might have warehoused that coach, for no rail road man would have traveled in a car that was haunted. But the end came. While we were looking ki each otker's face and frightened in being blocked in that scft of way tho voice spoke again. It said very distinctly: 'Let me out! I am dy ing-dying!' " "It was under my arm, the voice was," Sandy exclaims, "in a big trunk that had come from camp meeting. I sung out for Jake to run for a doctor, if there was ono on the train, an' Tom an' me put that trunk on the floor as gently us if 'twas glass. 'Twas light enough. We thought the poor thing must be almost a skeleton. I got hold of the sledge hammer. 'Keep up your courage, ma'am,' I shouted, 'an we'll have you out in a jiffy !' " "You should have seen Sandy at that moment," say? Pope enthusi astically. "He looked a hero, every inch of him. He gave that hammer four sweeping . swings. Crash! Crash! Rip! Tear! Off came the top, and it was flung clean across the car. A pile of light, fleecy stuff followed. A dozen faces looked anx iously into that trunk, expecting to see the body of a dying or dead wo man. Sandy seemed beside himself with anxiety. "We crowded around the trunk, and the doctor knelt down beside it. He pulled out a lot of rags very carefully, ran his arm down on a prospecting tour, lifted up a great wad of cotton, took a good long look under it, rose to his feet and began to curse everybody and call them all a pack of fools. Then he changed Iiis tune and began to laugh. I asked him a little angrily what he was making such a fuss about and if he proposed to take out the body. " 'Body I Body ! Ha, ha, ha, ha 1 Jee here, gentlemen!' And he tossed out the cotton from the trunk, showing a funny looking ma chine at the bottom. 'This is String fellow's phonograph that he's had down jto camp meeting,' the doctor said. *He took one of Edison's con cerns and rigged it up so as to go by clockwork. The shaking of tho car set it in motion. It's been re peating, parrotlike, only what was told to it by the saints and sinners. Very simple, you see. I 'won't charge you anything for my visit, conduct or. Good night.' And off bc went. "Sandy, our friends here want to know how that dream of yours over that trunk ended." "Oh, they do, do they? Waal, gentlemen, I had to pay the cost of that trunk, an' trunks cost in these times. It took a month's salary to do it, which isn't complimentary to the road. I learned one lesson. If I ever want to open any man's lug gage in futuro, I ll smash it in pro fessional style." The Brain Recto In Sections. Only those who are troubled with insomnia and have experienced the sleepless fatigue of night after night of tossing upon the bed are in a po sition to wonder how it is that dur ing tho day? that intervene the brain seems able to do its work without showing undue signs of fatigue. An English scientist, expert on brain diseases, holds that insomnia is not attended with such disastrous consequences as are commonly sup posed. It is not so dangerous as the solicitude of the sufferer. He sug gests that the brains of the literary men, who are the most frequent vic tims, acquire the trick of the heart, which takes a rest of a fraction of a second after each beat and so man ages to get six hours' rest in twen ty-four.

HOW TO LEARN TO BREATHE. Muscular Exercise Which Every One Should Undertake. "What on. earth are you trying to do, Jim?" The man to whom the question was addressed was standing in the center of the gymnasium clad in the scanty apparel affected by athletes .when at work. His heels were close together, his arms were equally close to his sides, the palms of his hands facing backward. Without reply ing, he slowly raised his hands up ward and forward until they were on parallel lines and at full length above his head. Then he lifted himself till bo stood on the tips of lr toes, holding his breath tho wnilc. Just as slowly and deliber ately he resumed his original posi tion and as he did so replied to tho question. "I am learning to breathe," 6aid he. "Learning to breathe? Why, I thought that everybody ?lid that during the first few seconds of ex istence." "Not by any means, my boy, as you will find out if you ?0 into training under the instruction of a competent teacher. Not one man in a hundred knows how to breathe properly-that is, to fill the lungs to their utmost capacity and at the same time to control thc muscles so ao to make it easy to do. What I have just been doing fe me of the movements by which thorax is developed, ?thers there are for the Surpose of strengthening the ab ominai muscles, a prime necessity to enable one to breathe correctly. These exercises, if kept up, not only increase the power to breathe deeply and freely, but they add to your ability to expand the chest, tho stoop caused by round shoulders is permanently cured, and one's figure and general health are vastly bene fited. Even if there is no intention of becoming an athlete, every man, woman and child ought to learn these movements and practice them on general principies.'' .

How could two persons be born at the sfrne time and die at the same time at the end of fifty years and yet one of them live 100 days more than the other ? The answer turns upon the famil iar fact that a person who goes . around the world toward the west loses a day, while tho person who travels in the opposite direction gains a day. We will suppose, then, that the two men in question were born at the same instant in Dublin, from whence a trip around the world may easily be made once a year. One of them goes always toward the west, the other toward the east. One loses a day every year, the other gains a day every year. When the men die at fifty years of age, one has seen 100 days more than the other.-London Tit-Bits. Only Once.

The drama of ?T?nch and Judy"' h is supposed to have originated in d< Ltaty about 1G00. It soon spread md became very popular in En?;- m] Land, especially in the reign of h Queen Anne, 1702-14.. The abuso k of performing in churches had led to the practice of performing plays fi in inn yards, on scaffolds upon a tl green adjoining a town or village, r? sometimes in public halls of bor oughs and cities and sometimes in ? tho dwellings of the nobility. This v, drama, as originally performed, was (, very lengthy as compared with tho present and had never any pro,- ?, gramme or bill of fare, but largely t worked in passing events. . About 1813, however, a play was cast, of which the following is an r outline of the plot: Mr. Punch.is ? a gentleman of very courtly pres ence and tnarrics a lady of the 1 name of Mrs. Judy. This is tho* A. distinguishing title of maiden la-* \ dies not ennobled, a title which Mrs. Judy retains in wedlock also. Tho 8 issue of the marriage is a beauti- j. ful child, a little girl, whom Mr. , Punch kills in a fit of frenzy, but as the deed is accomplished Mrs. Judy enters, but leaves thc sceno to return with a bludgeon, with which 6hc belabors her lord and master. Tho tables are soon turned, how ever, and the dead infant and tho dying mother arc shot out through thc window into the street. Tho house being entered, Punch escapes on horseback to Spain. The play ends in a satire, idleness being rep resented by a black dog, disease by a doctor, death by a skeleton and thc devil first by a beautiful woman, then ir. propria persona, dragging Punch to the infernal regions. But the attempt fails, and Punch tri umphs over doctor, death and tho devil. The drama was entitled "Punch and Judy," which appellation the puppet performanco still retains. In 1710 there was no dog in tho play, but a pig, so well trained that it danced a minuet with Mr. Punch. An Extravagant Compliment.
