"The most remarkable wreck I w; ever in," said an old brakeman to . ' Louisville Courier-Journal man, "ha pened on the Short line between Pew? And Beard's some years ago. It was freight wreck. I had charge of the I I Grange accommodation and was hour in to Louisville. We were followir hard upon the trail of train No. 3 also bound for Louisville. Train X 14 was coming in our direction. It ha been delayed some minutes at Pewe but expected to make up the time ar sidetrack between Pewee and Beard on schedule time, so that train No. i would have the right of way. "The delay was what caused th trouble. The sidetrack I am tellin you about was just behind and under hill. Train No. 14 had just backed o to the sidetrack, and before the switc? man could shift the switch train N< 82 came dashing around the hill. Th engineer saw the danger. He turne down the throttle with a hard shov and whistled 'down brakes.' His e: forts were of no use, however. Trai No. S3 turned in on the sidetrack an went crashing into No. 14. All th cars of the train, fourteen, wer stripped off the track as clean as i they had been peas in a pod. Th v shock of the two trains meeting was of course, terrific The whole of trai] No. 82, including the locomotive, top pied off the track. Remarkable as i may seem, only the cars of No. 14 wer thrown off the track. "When the two trains struck the en gineer of No. 14 had his hand on th* throttle, about to stop his train. Tb shock threw him out of the cab and th< wrench threw open the throttle agaii and reversed the engine. When th? cars had been stripped off the track th< locomotive went "wild' down the traci toward La Grange. We of the IA Grange accommodation had by thi time neared the curve. I was at th< head of the train as lookout. I hear( the sound of a locomotive approaching and signaled the engineer of our trail to reverse his engine. He had hardlj time to jump to the throttle when th? wild locomotive crashed into us. I wa? thrown, I reckon, fifty feet, and came out bf it with two broken legs. No one else was hurt, but the La Grange ac? commodation was a day late. No, 1 dont railroad any more." . -"-w HERE AND THERE. - -Dont fail to provide for thc haj crop. It will pay better than cotton at prices probable next fall. -It is not hogs, nor cattle, nor cot? ton that will bring prosperity to the south, but a variety of products, and P the greater the better. -It costs no more to grow and feed a good sheep than it does a poor one, and it costs no more to market a good clip of wool than a poor one, -The male exerts the strongest in? fluence upon the offspring of all classes of stock, and for this reason a pure? bred male is of the utmost importance and especially so when striving to im? prove. -No matter how low horses may be in the market, a good team on the farm is just as essential now as they ever were, and are worth as much to the average farmer. -The peanut is a native of Brazil, but early after the discovery of that country it was introduced into Africa and other tropical parts of the old world, where it became a staple article of food, lt was only in the .second half of this century that it became aa important crop in this country. -When southern trucksters embark more extensively in potato growing, potato planting and harvesting ma? chinery will lind ready sale in tin's sec? tion. Instead of buying potatoes out? side we should suppl}* many less favored sections-and with good profit to our planters. -It is not the broad acres under fence that makes the farmer prosper? ous, but the amount of intelligent labor applied per acre. Some of the poorest farmers we ever knew were those who spread their labor as a miser bunters his bread-very thinly over a large area. And many a prosperous larmer has a small held veli tilled, and has n^ especial need f)r large patrimonial estate the other ?ide of lae lenee. ^ IT?e laced Bodice. Women who have lender, graceful figures will be quite willing to adopt the revived fashion of lacing the bodice at the back. Many dressmakers con? sider that a moderately full figure looks well also in this style of waist, provided it is deeply pointed front and back, as the lacing or buttoning makes a defined line or break across the back, imparting a slender effect. Invisible fastenings are, however, still in highest favor, and are likely to continue in vogue during the spring and summer. The seam on the left shoulder and the one under the left arm are utilized by most dressmakers to provide means of egress and ingress to the wearer. But this is only one of many ways of clos? ing the bodice. Ma u v of the waists are still so cunningly fastened as to make one wonder as to how the wearer gets in and out of the garment.-N. Y. ?
