HASEDBYATORNADO "I don't believe that fright ever arned a person's hair white off and," said Henry Wetherell, an en inser of the Jerey Central Ra'lroad. Vf such a thing could happen these )cks would not be as black as you ce them now, for I will venture to ay that no man ever went through a iore fear-Inspiring experience than I id once. Tell ytu the story? Why. srtainly. But I am not very good & a yarn, and I can only give you the are facts without descriptive orna aentation. "It happened this way: The year as 1878 or 1379, 1 forget which. Lnyhow it was sometime in July. 'he weather had been pretty hot, nd it was just the sort of day for reding a tornado "But I am getting ahead of my tory already, not being very expert i the way of anecdote. I was work ag on a one-horse road in Southern :ansas. The Superintendent w.re,l te to fet-h my engine a distance et bont seventy miles to a place called eterstown It was wanted to haul lot of perishable freight, mostly aarket produce, which had shunted E by some a cideut onto a side track ad was in danger of spoiling. A ult against the company might have ylowed, and the business had to be ttended to In a hurry. There were nly seven locomoives on the road, arring two or three that were dis bled. "Well, not to be too long-winded,I ot fuel and water aboard as quickly 3 nossible and started for Peters own, taxing it rather easily, be aa:e the track wasn't in condition 0 stand fast running well. I was bout an hour out from my starting lace, and had gone sixteen miles :haps whe.al atka-ee .on. "The day was exc-eedingly sultry, ad there was a curious sort of glare ver the landscape which rmade it >ok sort of fever4sh. I can't th nk f a better word for describing it. .here was something unnatural about he apDearance of everything. My reman wai a boy who had been rought up in that region, and he mid &bat it looked like a tornado nm!ng. He ought to have been a ood judge of the symptoms, because he whole of his family, together th all their property and live Lock, had been wiped out by such a ,wister,' as they call 'em, when be as hardly old enough to toddle. "Byv the time we'd gone, maybe ight or ten miles further, a a'ense ank of clouds had spread around to ard the southwest. It was black as ik, but Leneath it was a blank reak of white. I had never seen ything that looked quite like it be. re. As I looked at it the bank rose gher, and p-esently I saw some n g like a sharp point of cloud pro. ct itself downward from the black ass, All this time there was nc' under nor lightning, hut on'y a ok about the sky that was dreadful see, because it was so unnatural. ke. It seemed as If something aw Ii was going to happen. It was the y who called my attention to the >nted cloud, and he said it was a rnado beginning. "I pretendled not to be afraid, andi id that if it was a 'twister' it would >t be likely to hit us. But he was pale as a ghost. Says he: "'Don't you see that it is directly ,nthwest of us?' 'Why, certainly,' 1 replied. hat of that?3' "'They alys travel north'ast,' said. 'aud we are right in the rack ofit.' " 'Then we'll run away from It, I ess,' says I, pulling the throttle ride open. But the zboy, he- said othing-only watched the clouds in e distance. "By this time the pointed cloud ad got very much bigger. the lower rid of it nearly touching the ground. .grew rapidly larger ana larger and eed to be approaching at a great ite of spee:i, while tbe rest of the iew toward the west and southwest came blurred to the eye, so that othing could be made out clearly. I ii? that it was a tornado that was ming, and no mistake, for the range cloud, which had the shape a gigantic peg-top, was distinctly utlined in its inky blackness against e general blur. I began to feel retty badly frghtened myself. Now :i then, when I could take my eye i the cloud, 1 looked at the b:.y; ut he only sat silent in the cab, taring at the great peg-top with artlng eyeballs and white lips. 'Inally 1 said: ''Do you think we are g'oing tc scape it?' "We are right in its track,' he id W'ithout looking at me. "You see, we were running in an1 ir line over the prairie, directly "rtheast aind pursuing the very .ath in which the tornado was comn- ) ig. Any other course, with the eamn I had on, would have carried i s out of the way. "The boy shoveled mote coal on.j renad alred Q on g throfouri times since the strange cloud was sighted. But it was no use. The -ngir.e was doing its best, and she wasn't capable of more than about thirty-eight miles an hour. "'It's gaining on us,' I said. 'low fast does such athing as that travel?' "'About a hundred miles an hour,' replied the boy, white as a sheet. 3 "If that had been true I would not be here to tell the story. I have since learned that eighty miles an bour is supposed to be the best a tornado can do. My belief is that f this one was going at .about sixty f miles.' Anyway, it wasn't any more I than six or seven miles distant by this e time, and gaining on as rapidly. I c my reckoning was correct, it would :atch us in a little more than twenty minutes. The way I calculated it was that the great peg-top was mov- 0 ing at the rate of three miles to out two. t "It was the most frightfull specta. 9 :le to look at that can possibly be I Imagined. To me it seemed to be a monstrous giant, pursuing us with T an evil in:ention to destrov. Now S nd then the blackness would be t transformed into a dark green a nd it was constantly lighted up by lashes. as if it were in immense blloon illuminated from within. It ap::eared to whirl around with in- c :oncelyable rapidity, and from it I came a sound across the prairie as of s Dellowing, with a voice so an ful that I the rumbling of the locomotive 1vat a ost in it. Of the destruction it, wai t accomplishing 1 could get no notion (row my point of view. Fortunately a there were few settlements in that C part of the country, but as we passed 9 two or three small hamlets at full e peed I luid see the ipeople running about trying to find some place of C safety. "The boy staggered to my side the rocKing of the engine made it I difficult to Reep one's feet-and clutched my arm. I stooped my head, c and he yelled into my ears, 'Make 1 the bend.' t "I knew what he meant on the in- C tant. Less than ten miles ahead of a as was a bridge over a river, after I crossing which the road turned I abruptly southwara. It was a freak c railway anyhow, and its zig-zags were intended to pass through as c many supposed centers of future pop. 1 ulation as possible. The only lonj t stretch of it in a straight line was a just where we got caught by the p tornado. If we could get to the ben'i t ahead "As you may well imagine, I har C no opportunity to consider the plan f calmly and in detail, but It struck me I like a flash. It was a race for life sure a enough. If that engine never did c her forty miles an hour before I think I she must have done that and more a too, then. With the great funnel a cloud rushing on behind us and steadily approaching,' we tore over t the rails at a frantic rate of speed. I g was fairly crazed by the excitement, r so that it almost overcome my sense f fear. I remember distinctly that I pulled the whistle cord and let the s locomotive scream with all her might, C though it could hardly be heard in the roaring of the pursuing tornado. n "Six miles passed, as well as I coulde estimate, and the monster was onlye about four miles behind. Threee miles more and it had lessened the] distance by a mile at least. But we were near the river. A minute later and we were running across the bridge. N~o time then to heed the 1 warning that trains must run slowly aver this stream, in obedience to thea sign post. ' Over the brildge, we flew around the curve and dashed away south ward, just in time to see the mighty balloon pass by with a whirl and a roar, as if all the demons in the in fernal regions were let loose. We could not make out anything very listinctly, the sky being darkened pnd the air filled with dust, but we knew that ne were safe. ' A few min utes later the clouds rolled away and5 everything was as quiet and pea -eful as before the storm. We ran back-c to the bridge, but it wasn't there. 1I~ was clean gone, and such remains of it as were left were scattered all ove i the country. Tne road was so badly torn up, the track for considerabla istances being twisted and brokerl to pieces, that the expense of repair* [ig it bankrupted the company. Eleven people lost their lives by that tornado, which afforded me an ex perience which I would not repeat for all the money in the world. "-Wash. ngton Star. Novel Head Covering.

Why this is so has always been t< ae a problem. GIrls, as a rule, re pond more quickly .to the fascina ion of study than do boys, and I hav lways felt that they deserved a! aany chances, writes George W hilds in the Ladies Home. Journal So far as my personal experiences ar< oncerned gratitude has been the rul n almost every case where I hav ought, by the means within mi ower, to make it possible for girls t equire practical training. I have up t, his time educated, or rather been th< 3eans of educating, between thre< ad four hundred girls, and in ever3 ase I have been rewarded by thei -ratitude, their aptitude, their gen ral excellence in behavior, and theil ore than general success in theii bosen careers. The girls in whom I ave been especially interested, and vho 1 always feel have first claim. pon me, are the daughters of journ lists- the men and women of mr wn profession are always nearest m3 ieart. After them comes the daugh ers of clergymen. As a rule, th hildren of newspaper men are quic .d ready to grasp opportunities, and t has therefore been with particular leasure that I have afforded them pportunities to help themselves.

Th< irls who had ambitions for public areers have met with only ordinari uccess; probably those trained foi locutionists have made the mos1 oney. The girls of musical and rtistic capabilities have been giver very advantage possible in the waj f home and foreign training.

All the girls have >ecomne self-supporting, most of then: uave married, and all (I think I an: ae in saying this) have made good ives.

I have not scrupled o say to them that in my experience ,he most refined women have been hose whose tastes in matters of dress iave been most quiet and plain. and hat the working girl should above .11 things avoid extravagance in ress.

Nothing can be more pleasant after having money than to spend it where it will do good, and more good can be done in tue way UI assisting self-respecting girls by giving them practical help toward attaining, not independence exactly, but the power of ceasing to be dependent upon an invalid father perhaps or upon poor relatives or upon a brother who re quires his money for his own needs. While there will always be men whose proudest part in life is to protect the women who belong to them from con tact Ivith th~o world, there will als.Q L,.; UuuAI;L,' W.WUe v%;u ..aV-V~i.Wu result in little more than a provision for the daily needs of their families and whose days will be shadowed by I the thought that their death would leave their daughters unprovided for, whereas these daughters, if properly trainea, might instead brighten their fathers' lives not only by taking care of themselves but by giving them some of the luxuries which they have never been able to afford. It is not generosity that has m4adg I me helpful in this respect to girls; it is in part selfishness. I want to see where my money goes. I want to know that It Is circulating; that it is doing good. I sometimes feel that the only money I have is that which I have given away. The rest is just waiting. The money that I have i spent upon other people has been that which 1 have most enjoyed. Many rich men have done as much, many have done more. I think Mr. Drexel has done the noblest work of all by founding his school of Industrial Art As I have rarely in my life seen an estate administered as I know its owner woula have desired, I think that all rich men, particularly those who have no children to inherit their property, should spend the money themselves in order that they may b, able to see with their own eyes th good which the judicious spending o: money upon others can do. Girls al ways ask me what they can-do fol me in return for my kindness to them and my invariable reply is a request that they shall be helpful to other girls less fortunately circumstanced than they. I think that the help I have given women and girls has been productive of more good than that which I have given men and boys. Focussed by Sails. The wide spread sails of a ship, -- Wh rendered concave by a gentle of sound, says The celebrated Dr. Arnott relates the following circumstance as practical proof of this assertion: "A ship was once sailing along the coast of Brazil, far out of -sight of land. Suddenly several of the crew, while walking along the deck, noticed that when passing and repassing a particular spot they always heard with great distinctness the sound of bells chiming sweet music, as though being rung a short distance away. Dunfounded by this phenomenon, they quickly communicated the dis. covery to their mates, but none of them were able to solve the en'gma of these seemingly mysterious sounds. Several months afterward, upon re turning to Brazil, some of the listen ers determined to satisfy their curi osity. Accordingly they mnentioned 1the circumstance to their friends, and were informed shat the time when the sounds were heard the bells in the Cathedral of San Salvador, on the coast, had been ringing to celebrate a feast held in honor of one of the Saints. Their sound, wonderful to relate, favored by a gentle, steady breeze,' had traveled a distance of upward of 100 mIles over the smooth water anji had been brought to a fozus by tha sails at the particular locality i which the sweet sounds were first heard. This is but one of several instancei of a similar kind, trustworthy. au thorities claiming that it has often happened under somewhat similar Pans.
