European Railways. The British public and press are highly incensed at Andrew Carnegie's statement that it would pay England to burn up her railroad equipment and replace it with American models. Eu ropean railway managers are also com mencing to wake up to tho necessity of contributing somewhat to the com fort of their passengers, but unfort unately commence where the Ameri cans left off a dozen years ago, as is instanced by the following extract from an exchange ; '"Having long recognized the in adequacy of foot-warmers as a means of heating railway carriages, says The London Daily Telegraph, the direc tors of the Great Western railway de termined when building their first corridor train in the spring of 1892 to provide it with appliances for warm ing the Y ?"hieles by the employment of steam from tho locomotive. This train has been running on the Pad dington, Birmingham and Birk enhead service for more than two years, and the improved sys tem of warming having proved entire ly successful, the additional corridor trains which have subsequently been provided and are now running be tween London and Torquay and Ply mouth and Penzance, and between London and South Wales, have been similarly fitted with equally satisfac tory results." Force of Example. "Like mistress, like maid," is a say ing that is probably oftener true than "like master, like man." The story is told that Mdlle. Augustine Brohan, a celebrated French comedienne, who was extremely humane to all animals, no matter ?ow humble, one day found a fly caught on her plate. She took it up tenderly with her thumb and finger and called her maid. "Marie," she said, "take this fly be careful, now, don't hurt him-and put him outdoors." The girl took the fly and went away, but presently Mdlle. Brohan saw her .?anding near with a troubled expres sion on her face. "Well, Marie," she said, "did yon do as I told you?" "Ko, mademoiselle, I've got the fly still; I couldn't venture to put him outdoors-it was raining and he might have taken cold !" Information Thrown In.

E was small and sallow-faced and not partic ularly olean ; the half of a pair of old braces support ed his princi pal and most necessary gar ment, a huge muffler was twisted around his neck and wound several times round his small body before the ends finally found a resting place inside his trous ers ; over this muffler he wore an old and frayed Eton jacket buttoned tight ly across, or pinned where the but tons were missing. An ancient pair of women's boots, many sizes too large and displaying a wealth of toes, com pleted his indiscriminate attire. His hair, whioh would apparently have been of a vividly red hue had there been sufficient of it to admit of an impartial judgment os to its color, was cropped very short. His eyes were keen and bright, and forovoi on the watch, probably from force of habit or the necessity of circum stance. He was very thin and very active, and probably some twelve smoky Loudon summers had passed over his head. I was a young and struggling doc tor in the East End of London at the time, with hard work and poor patients, and my first introduction to the boy was on account of a fierce and deodlyjenmity which had grown up between the youth who dusted my surgery and carried out my medicine and the ragged one, who was known, by the way, as "Ginger Green"-an appellation which surely points to a love of color dormant in tho breasts of the great unwashed, adverse criti cisms notwithstanding. The enmity terminated in what was, I believe, locally known as a "sorap," outside my surgery door, in whioh my youthful assistant was severely mauled. In addition fo the injnries inflicted upon himself his basket was knocked over in the scuffle and sev eral bottles broken. I happened to return at the moment of tho latter catastrophe, and seized "Ginger" by the collar and bore him inside, with the object of inflicting summary chas tisement. I had dragged him into the surgery and dosed the door before he fully realized his position, and then he crouched on the floor huddled up in a heap, with one arm put np to shield his head. He was such a forlorn little figure and so very helpless that all thoughts of punishment vanished from my mind. I merely stood over him awaiting the turn of events. "Garni" he exclaimed. "Who yer 'ittin' of? I ain't done nnffink. " "I think you hsvo done a great deal, my young friend," I ventured to suggest. "What do you mean by breaking bottles and punching inoffen sive errand boys?" 'I didn't want to break no bottles, guv'nor. What's 'e want to go givin me's lip for, eh? 'E's always at it." "I regret that ho should have of fended your deep sensibilities," I re plied, "but who is going to pay for the medicine?" That question rendered him sudden ly silent and serious. He shuffled to his feet, and stood there furtively glancing round the room and hope lessly thrusting his hands into one and another of his ragged pockets. "Was it much, guv'nor?" he asked, glancing up at me wistfully. "More than you could pay." I re plied. "I suppose I had better send for a policeman." The awful nature of his situation appeared iully to dawn upon him. He cast one hungry glance towards the closed door and another to the window, then drew his ragged sleeve across his eyes and began to cry. "It warn't my fault, guv'nor, sw'elp me, it warn't. I was a dobbin' 'im on the kisser and never seed 'is bawsket, guv'nor." I restrained a suddea inolination to laughter and spoke seriously. "What's your name ?" "Green, guv'nor ; they calls mo Gin _II ger. "Well, Ginger," I replied, "are you aware that those bottles of medicine were for two people-three people, in faot-who are very seriously ill, and who are waiting for it?" He became moro solemn than ever. "Oh, lori" he exclaimed in a breath less whisper; "willth3y pop it, guv' nor?" "Pop it!" I echoed. "What do you mean?" "Die-guv'nor-die. " "I think it's very likely,"I said, as gravely as I could. "Cawn'fc yer send 'em some more?" "I might do that, but -" "If you mix up some more, guv'nor, and tell me where they live, I'll cut round wiv it now-straight, I will, guv'nor. " I looked in some wonderment at him ; he was so desperately in earnest. But the end of the matter was, that I made up the medicine afresh and, as my own boy was still dressing his wounds and anointing them with maudlin tears. I gave the bottles into the hands of Ginger, with many in ward misgivings and many directions. "Oh, I knows 'em," he said, listen ing eagerly. "Billy Collins lives in the buildings ; I seed ?is muvver go in just now. This ole gal," indicating another bottle, "'augs out np Angel court ; this one lives in our 'ouse. " "All right," 1 said. "But be quick." "Bight you are, guv'nor." He turned at the door and came back again. "Ain't I to give 'em no d'rec tions about the doses, nor nnffink?" "Certainly not ; it's all put on the bottles-on the labels. And come back here when you have delivered them, so that I may know that yea have left them properly. Do yuu un derstand?" He seemed doubtful for a moment, but immediately nodded bis head, and was ont of the door like a flash, i saw him from tho window, acm down the street, followed by a ( of gamins who had waited outs: hear the remit of his capturo. In an incredible short space oi he was back again. He passe late enemy, who opened tho i with lordly indifference, and mai straight into the surgery. *1 dono it, guv'nor,, he breathlessly. *'Billy Colline's ver thought I was a-guying 'er, told 'er to 'old 'is nose, an' rc stummick when it was dowD, ai she seed I knowed the ropes a bit took it. T'other ones was all ri| "I didn't ask you to givo ins tions to Mrs. Collins or to an else," I said, severely. "Are sure you gave the people the pi bottles?" 44 'Course I did, guv'nor. Ca read?" he replied, scornfully. ' yer does write a queer fist; wouldn't pass tho third standard. ' I saw a great deal of Ginger G after that, and the more I saw of the more I liked him. I had thou of taking him into my service, in t capacity, but he was in every way erratic. I discovered from ce .questioning that he gained somet? of a livlihood by selling nowspa and matchea that his mother went "charing," and that his father wa authority, by reason of long exj ence, ou the liquor question. I engaged him once to run ern for me, and provided him with s decent clothing ; bat he was mis for several days afterwards, and w ho returned he wore his old clothe In explanation he informed me t "farver 'ad shored 'em up the sp o and mentioued an establishment i at hand [over whose doorway h three brass balls. After that I g np the attempt. I suppose it happens to all me: some time or other of their lives, matter what their poverty, or keenness of their struggle for e tence may be, to fall in love. I ki that it happened to mo at that ti; even in the midst of the bnsy li led-perhaps by very reason of it. know that I am grateful, in this lal time, for the love that came to then, and has been the guiding po of my life since. Mary Esmond was one of those p and gentle women whom one soi times meets on this dull earth of ot and it was my lot to meet her i qnently in my daily work. She we nuree, attached to one of the mi charitable associations which have their object the nursing of the pi in their own homes, and her bles angel face carried light, and hope, t God's sweeter things, into manj fever-stricken den, and into man^ home that was no home, save in name. She was so swoet and quiet-sue! softened emblem of a'.l the better p sibilities of life, that I hesitated breathe anything of my love for h More than this, I was poor, and 11 nothing to offer any woman that wot draw her to me ; such was my thong] I met her often, in the many squa places to which I was called ; son times she "carno to the surgery urgent cases-rare and hurried visi tho memory of whioh I treasured. Once she came late at night to sn: mon me. I remember now how I si her then, standing ia the little sr gery, with tho neat little bonnet, wi its dependent veil, shrouding envious the wavy brown hair. "I am so sorry, Dr. Riohards," s said, "bat there is a boy who is ve ill, and I want y ou to come to hil It's fever, and he has been takcu sn deuly ; I have got him in bed. " "I'll come at once, nurse," I sai "But there is nothing to bo sor about ; thc pity is that you should ha' to keep at it like this, at all hours the day and night." "Oh, that's nothing I" sheanswerc smiling. "I'm used to it." "I have often wondered," I said, we walked on towards the place, "th you have never taken up some quiet branch of your profession. There a so many better patients whom y< might get; so many better peop among whom you might work, und improved conditions, as regards cor fort, and-" "No, no," she said, hurriedly. 1 -I have no wish to change. I lik these people. I am glad to be able I help them, even SD little." "Who is your patient?" I askei presently. "Do I know him?" "Oh! bois a most terrible boy she replied, laughing, "tho terror < all the people about here. I belier his name is Green." "Not Ginger Green !" I cried. * hayen't seen him for a day or two, aa wondered what was the matter. "I believe that is the title they giv him," she said, smiling. "Here ist! place-mind this stop-I am used to i you see. Shall I go first ?" She went up the dark and rotte staircase, that creaked even bencat her light tread, and I followed. In room at the top of the house I foun the boy on a wretched bed, tossing i a high fever. Ho nodded, in his ol patronizing fashion, and spoke in weak voice : "Lor' lummy! Things is a lookir up! My doctor-an'my miss! "Adn' yer better 'old a consooltashun abou this 'ere case, guv'nor ? An' I'll tik a little shampine, if it don't mako n odds, an' I'll 'ave it dry." "You'll be quiet, Ginger," I eaid controlling my face, "and keep still and do exactly as the nurse tells you. "Right yer are, guv'nor," he re joined, philosophically. "On'y mini yer keep my strength up ; 1 mustn't b let down-my constitooshun won' stand it." He was oertainly very ill, but Marj was with him almost night and day and I went to see him as often as pos sible, for reasons not wholly connect ed with himself. It was on one o those occasions that I first confess?e my love to her ! perchance something of her loneliness-her bravery in thai squalid room-drew the oonfessioc from me. Ginger was almost conval escent then, and had, after his delir ium, fallen into a sleep which told me that his dangor was over. To my surprise, Mary Esmond shrank away from me and .covered hei face with her hands. "It has come at last," she said, in s low voice, sobbing bitterly as she spoke. "I have known that that first mistake must cling to me forever ; 1 have known that some day I should meet some good man who would love me, and who could be to me all that I could desire, and that then that mis take should hold me back and say : 'You shall not I" I was beside her in an instant and my arms were about her. "Mary, for the love of Heaven," I said, "don't torture me like this. What mistakes do you mean? What mistake can you have made, at any time, my darling-" But she thrust mo away from her. "I must tell yon ; you must know now. I had thought to hide it here, I to bury mytelf here, and live my life, I and do some little coo*3 and be re membered, perchance, for that, and the rest forgotten. But it cannot be, I suppose. I-I am grateful, Dr. Richards, for all that you have said ; I am more, much more than grateful. But it cannot be. I-am .a married woman." I looked ab her incredulously, and would have spoken, but she stopped me gently and went on. "When I left school I met a man who was, to my girlish fanoy, all that; my dreams had painted ; I ran away, and married him. Only too soon I. discovered th? bitter wreck I had' made of my life. I will not dwell upon it; suffice it that he was a coarse and common creature, possessing no man ly attribute?. I lott him; I fought my way alone ; ? trained myself for this ; I hid myself herc. He may find me again when he wants money. That is my story. " In my pity and distress I took her in my arms again, and sbo leant her head upon my breast, and cried thero softly for a few minutes, It was just at that moment that, Ginger awoke, and we were startled! by the exclamation, in a weak voice :: "Oh, my eye!" Mary sprang away and busied her self with the window curtain ; I walked) across to the patient, who was regard ing me with a grin. As I drew near,' he whispered : I "Ain't sho a daisy, guv'nor. But,guv'-? nor, straight, I didn't mean to say. nuffink;I 'aven't crabbed it, 'ave I." ---. i Thereafter Ginger's admiration and gratitude to his "nuss," as ho called, her, knew no bounds. He would fol-,1 low her respectfully at a distance ; he' neglected his precarious busiaess dis gracefully in order to bo near her and to perform small services for her. One night, some months after his illness, ho burst suddenly into my surgery, and sank into a chair, and regarded me with a blank expression of terror. I saw that ho was t::ombling in every limb. "Gawd elp me, guv'nor," he whis pered. "I've done it this time, an*, no error. It's a 'anging job-that's wot it is, guv'nor." By degrees I got his story from him, told in jerks. "I was a walkin* along be'ind my' nuss, when a bloke 'e stops in front of 'er, au' speaks an' 6he shoves 'er 'ands on 'er face, and begins to cry. Then the bioko lays 'old of 'er arm, and. speaks rough like, an' shakes 'er, an' 'e says, 'So I've found yer, 'ave I,'an' 'e shakes her again. An' I rushes up to 'im and I jumps on 'im, an' 'o stag-, gers, wi' me on top of 'im an'-oh, Lord !-he goes right over in the road, on' a railway wan was a comin' round the corner, and it misses mc, an' goes slap over 'is 'od. Au' it warn't my fault, guv'nor-sw'elp me? it warn't; I ou'y meant to make 'im lot go of my nuss. An' they've took 'im to the *or8pital, guv'nor." I had.started up, in my excitement, when I suddenly saw Mary's quiet fig ure in the room. Her npraised hand stopped me. "You can do no think," she said, in a low voice. "Is he-" "Dead. Died before he reached the hospital-almost before the cab started." "And-Mary-was he-" I bogan. "Yes, the man of whom I spoke to yon." Mary and I were man-ied fomo twelve months after that, and tho' sense of tho fitness of things urged us, both to do something for Ginger ; but he stoutly declined. We see him sometimes ; he was even present at our quiet wedding, and scandalized every one by standing on his hands, in tho pr?sence of a very dignified beadlo, in the church porch. But he persists in living his old life; his "scraps" with neighboring urchins are as nc morons as ever ; and I firmly believe he wears tho same ^uit of clothes. But we have not lost sight of him, and wo cherish hopes.-Illustrated Bits. _ _ The Oregon Dentist. "When I was traveling through Southern Oregon last month," said Attorney W. W. McNair, "I found myself in a small village and with a large toothache. I found the local dentist, with his whirligig engine that resembled a small lathe, at the livery stable clipping a horse. ?. ?Do you treat teeth?' I asked. "'Course; what do you snpposo I'm hero for ?' ho roplied in a nettled tone. " 'Well, I have ono that needs at tention. ' "'Want it pulled or plugged?'ho asked. " 'I want it treated. How do you treat teeth that are aching?' " 'Pull it er plug it' " 'I think this could^ be saved if it had proper treatment.'* " 'Want it plugged, thon. What is it-jaw tooth or knawer?' and he tried to force a finger that was covered with dirt and horse hair into my mouth. I had grown a trifle suspicious of him, so I thought I would find out what sort of work he did. " 'Do you do bridge work?' I asked. " 'Not since I been practicing I did build a bridge across Cow Creek when I was ranohin', but I mostly ooa fine myself to draggin' fangs, doctor in' horses, and barberinV " 'Do you eyer transplant teeth?' " 'Say, I tried that onot, but she didn't work. Ol' Bill Robi'son hada tooth that was achin' au' he wanted it pulled. I got the wrong tooth. I tried to put her baok, but Bill hol lered au' cut up so that I thought I'd try to transplant it. I sawed off the snags and riveted it to Bill's plate o' false teeth, but she wouldn't work. The first time Bill bit a bone with it the tooth swung around on the rivet an' he bit a hole in the roof of his mouth as big as a hazel nut.' "I oonclnded not to have my tooth treated. The dentist was sorry, and told me that 'if it was holler to heat a knittin' needle hot au' poke it in the tooth, or hold a chaw o' terbaoker in my mouth."'-San Francisco Post. Chicken Tull?. So nice and well understood are the differences between the sounds which these birds give forth, and so weil are their notes appreciated by their com panions, that the creatures may well be said to have a language. Though it probably conveys only emotions and not discreet thoughts, it still must be regarded as a certain kind of speech. The modes of expression indicate that in this creature, as in the other feath ered forms, the intellectual life large ly consists in the movements inspired by the emotions. On the rational side our fowls seem weaker than many other less interesting species. In their nesting and other habits there are no evidences of constructive ingenuity, and in all my observations of them I have never seen any evidence which showed either considerable powers of memory or a capacity to act in any complicated way, with reference to an end.-Scribner's, THE AUTUMN FAIRIES?

In Surinam there is a remarkable ioadlike creature, the female of which carries her young in a series of colls in the thick skin of the back, which assumes a strange ho'ney-combliko ap pearance. When this lady toad is car rying her nursery about with her, sho is a very repulsive looking object. Single handed she would be quite un able to cope with tho important ques tion of placing eggs where they will be most favorably disposed for hatch ing, and for this she has to rely on the good services of her mate. Soon after the eggs are laid they aro taken up by the male and pressed, one by one, into the cells in the thickened skin of his partner's back. There they grow until they fit closoly to the hex agonal form of their prisons, each of which is closed abovo by a kind of trap door. After a period of oomo eighty-two days the eggs reach their full devel opment and produce, not tadpoles, but aotually perfect little toads. The reason of this is that the tadpoles, which require to breatho the air dis solved in the water by means of their external gills, could not exist in the cells, and consequently this stage of j development is passed through very rapidly within the egg. In due time the young toads to the uumber of eighty or 100 burst open the lids of their cells, poke out their noses and make their entrance into the world. I Tho mother toad rubs off the remains of the cells against any convenient stone or plant stem and comes out in a brand new spring suit. -Knowledge. Severe Training lor a Future Emperor. Some suggestive details concerning the early education of the German Emperor have just come out. It soems that William II. had in early child hood a tutor who was a captain of the Guarde. Prince Bismarck had recom mended him, and he applied to tho heir to the throne the principle on whioh he* had trained his recruits, "bend or break. " The young Hohen zollern was made to rise at 5.30 every morning, and at once begin a course of gymnastic exercises unsuitable for a child of his age. It is this regimen, authorities say, which made Prioco William so weak and nervous that his grandfather, tho old Emperor, sug gested one day to Bismarck that his captain of the Guards would perhaps better return to his recruits. Experiments With Soldiers' Rations. A packing company of this oity is making experiments in condensed food to be used by the army on forced marches. Special cans were made.

The telephone newspaper organized at Pestb, Hungary, has now been working successfully for two years. It is called the Tolephone Hirnondo, or Herald, costs 2 cents, like a printed paper, and is valuable to persons who are unable or too lazy to use . the<r eyes, or who cannot road. It has 6,000 subscribers who receive tho nows as they would ordinary tele phone messages. A speoial wire 168 milos long runs along the windows of the houses of subscribers, which are connected with the main line by sepa rate wires and special apparatus which prevents the blocking of tho system by an accident at any of tho stations. Within tho houses, long, flexible wires make it possible to carry the receiver to tho bed or any other part of the room. Tho nows is not delivered as it hap pens to come in, but is carefully edited and arranged according to a printed schedule, so that a subscriber at any time knows what part of the paper he is going to hear. It begins with the night telegrams from all parts of Europe. Then comes tho calondar of events for the day, with the city news and the list of strangers at the hotels. After that follows arti cles on music, art and literature. Tho staff is organized like that of any other nowspaper, and is on duty from 7:30 in the morning until 9:30 o'clock at night. After tho copy has passed through the editor's hands, for the paper is subject to the same re strictions as ordinary newspapers, and is liable for its communications, it is given to the "speakers." These aro ten men with strong voices and clear enunciation, wbo work in shifts of two at a time and talk tho news through tho telephone. There are twenty-eight editions ut tered a day. Additions to the first edi tion are announced as news items. To fill the timo when no news is com ing in thc subscribers are entertain ed with vocal and instrumental con certs. These were at first given for them especially in the office of The Hirnondo, but now tho wiro is in com munication with the opera house and the music halls, and on Sundays and saints' days with the churches. The music is transmitted at times to other places in Austro-Hungary, and recently The Hirnondo michro phone was connected with the circuit going from Trieste, through Vienna, Bremen and Pesth to Berlin, the music being heard in all these places with equal clearness and force. The happy Hungarian can lie abed all day and hear everything that is going on his town.-New York Sun. Lead Us Not Into Temptation. First Brother, (at Ocean Grove) Good morning, brother !
