HUA7.II., IM?., NOV. 21!.-The courage and presence ?d' mimi of M-year-old Frank Williams prevented a disastrous wreck on the Yanndalia railroad to day. Williams was coming from Knightsvillo to this city when he noticed a broken rail w hich had been pressed out of position hy a freight train some lunns before. The hui beard tho wcst*hnuud passenger and mail train whistle for the Knightsvillo station. Knowing that the train did liol stop there, the hov ran up the track and when ho sighted the train stood hidween the rails and waved his hand. Tho ingineer, seeing the hov would not leave the track, reversed the lever aiid applied the air brake, stopping the train within a few- feet of the broken rail. Tho engineer said he was run ning ?u miles an hour w hen he saw the hoy, and had his engine struck the broken rail at such gn at speed a fear ful wreck would have resulted. Th?'

"Why not. my son?" inquired the father, curiously, while John, in his surprise, st allowed a bit of toasted crust and nearly cut his throat open. "'Cause he don't," explained thc heir, in an artful manner; "1 heard him tell Mary last night-" "You keep still," interrupted Mary, in a hysterical manner, while the young man caught his breath in dismay. "I heard him say," persisted the heir, with dreadful eagerness, "that she was so sweet that he shouldn't never use no sugar any more-an' then he kissed her, an' I said I'd tell, an' Mary, she-" The young heir was lifted out of the room by his ear, and the supper was finished in moody silence.-Sat urday Night.

Many of our people a:< -trungly of th- opinion that aa iii which falls IM IUW the limits pp ari bed by law is a poor oil, in i he M M -o that il will not give a .good light. This opinion is incorrect. \r. unsafe oil need not necessarily be a pour illuminant, and generally . not. Many have ?uer lights t i au . of a lack of e.?re and at tention to their lamps and wicks. Thc f ll cving points should le' care ful!, reded by I hose who would get . ' . results from their lamps: I I -'. a good wick. The open i\ PVI a wick known a'? the "American wie',;. is excellent. I hi ll Ot ll"' too ! mg a wick; cut it only a few inches longer than necccssary to renell the b ittoiu ol' i bc lamp. 11 i not hii\ e a great, coil of wick ?ll thc lamp. 'J. In adjusting a new wick, lit it to tlic burner, soak the wick in thc oil, light the wick, let thc lamp burna few minutes, then blow it out and trim your wick by moving the linger over thc charred p:irt evenly and smoothly in one direction only. Kcpeal until the surface feels SUKI ith and even; this is always the best plan to pursue in (rimming thc wick. l>o not use shears unless perhaps to cut oil" long arid uneven threads at the start. Al ways trim the wick in this way after each night's us?:. Heinemher that dirt will get into oil. little particles that perhaps you cannot see, and this floating dirt will gradually accumulate in the wick, which acts as a liker to bold back thc dirt as thc oil ascends thc wick. After a time this dirt chokes up thc ?lores or intestines in tho wick and partially destroys its power of cap illarity. Then thu light begins to fall, because thc oil cannot get to it. So don't economize on wicks. They arc much cheaper than eyesight. 1'ut in a new one when needed. Ihm't pin or sew red {launel on to thu end of your wick to eke out its existence and at the saiue (?inc expect to get a good light. I. Kcmciiibcr that occasionally, say once ia len days, or whenever need ed, thc dirty, dreggy oil in the bottom of the lamp should be thrown out. lt may bc saved if desired by filtering it through a piece of line cotton cloth. Then rinse out thc lamp with sonic clear, bright oil. Ihm't clean the inside of your lamp with water; if you do thc light will proba1 ly be bad when you ueit usc it, sputter and give you trouble. f>. Occasionally, say once in ten days or when you see it is needed, give the burner a thorough cleaning, boil it. with bot water and soda so as to get all greasy dirt and open up tho air passages. Then dry it thoroughly in thc sun or over tho stove before using. t?. Don't buy red oil; it never gives as good a light as thc same quality of oil without thc red coloring matter. If you attend carefully to all thc rules and still get poor light then you may abuse thc oil companies, but not be fore. lu all the cases of "poor light'' and "bad oil" I have so far investigated, tho trouble must havu boen due to neglect of some of the above simple precautions, which ought to bo adopt ed in every well regulated household, Uemcmbcr that the State will sec to it that no unsafe oil is furnished you, and that because a lamp gives a poor light is no evidence that thc oil is unsafe. In the recent oil investiga lion 1 examined some oils which were undoubtedly unsafe and below the law; but yet when I burned them day after day in a properly cared for lamp no fault could bc foupd with the light they gave. - AV?- Orleans Times-Dem ite nt t. Mutually Agreeable. On one of tho recent warm days, a sourvifaged, middle aged, fussy woman got on one of thc smoking sonts on an open car in thc subway, says the Boston Transcript. Next to her sat a man who was smoking a cigar. More than that the woman sniffing, made out that the man had been eating onions. Still more than that, she had the strongest kiud of suspicion that he had been drinking beer. The woman fussed and wriggled and grew angrier, and looked nt the man scorn fully. Presently she eould endure it no longer. She looked squarely at him and said: "If you were my husband, sir, I'd give you a dose of poison!" The man looked at her. "If I were your husband," said he, "I'd take it!" - An epidemic of typhoid fever has broken nut at the State Normal and Industrial college at Greensboro, N.

A Chicago man who has just return ed from a western trip, tells the Chica go News the uew "Jack rabbit" story: As everybody knows, a jack rabbit is a lightning ruuuer, or, as Mark Twain once said, "goes so fast that all you sec is a crack in the air." lt seems that a certain fat man, well known in idaho, was out bear hunting with a parti' wiro had been joking him as to what bc would do if a bear took after liim, and he always claimed that he would not run away. On this day he was poking along in advance of a wild-looking trail, when bc sunddctfy ran into a real bear. Tho hunters in the rear heard a shout and a yell, and in a moment thc fat man?ame dashing down the trail minus his gun, with a jack rabbit making long leal?? in front of bim. Ile was so scared, thc other hunters say, that be seemed to be afraid the "jack" would binder him in his flight, for he was shouting: "Cet out of thc way, jack rabbit, and leta man run that has to!" No Hocking Lullaby. Strange as it may seem, time-hon ored custom of rocking babies to sleep is a bad one. It is injurious to the children themselves, and is a cause, Oventually, of much unnecessary trou ble lo their guardians. Mothers should therefore sec to it that from tho very first the little ones are brought up in thc way they should go, and that thc monthly nurse docs not get them into bad habits by rocking them to sleep either in her arms or in their cots. There is no doubt that rocking is the most expeditious way of inducing a baby to go to sleep, but if one once starts, a baby will not sleep without it, and at a later age is likely to sutler from insomnia, nock ing may save immediate trouble to a lazy nurse or mother by inducing sleep when a child does not require it, or when it ought to be taken up from its cot and have clean clothes put on, but it will never cause that street, gentle and perfect sleep which should bc characteristic of a baby who has no artificial aids to induce slumber. - Keep your temper and people will forget that you Lave it after a while. - Never spoil a good story by in sisting that your bearers shall believe ! it.

On thc contrary, many a girl, unconscious of thc cause, has found herself gradually slipping out of people's respect by the fact that her talk was dotted with slang phrases. '"O, she is clever," said n woman not long ago, of a girl who could keep a company constantly amused by her apt use of slang. "She amuses me greatly.

It is a common mistake to regard Thic CfiQrfill nic?QCO a roughness and redness of the skin as I Hld IDOI IUI UldDdoCi merely a local irritation ; it ia but an indica tion o? a humor in the blood-of terrible Eczema-which is more than skin-deep, and can not be reached by local appli cations of ointments, salves, etc., applied to the surface. The disease itself, the real causo of the trouble, is in the blood, ulthough all suffering ia produced through the skin ; the only way to much the disease, therefore, ia through the blood. Slr. Phil T.
