HIS LAST TRIP.

Aa Engineer's Thrilling Story. “Ik> you know why I gave up my loeomotive? Well, I’ll tell you. About ten. years ago I was promoted from a freight to a passonger, and I was as proud of my new machine as a boy with his first pair of copper-toed boots. I tell you old 125 was a daisy. Well, I had been running her for some eighteen months when I had the experience that made me throw up my job. The bare remembrance of that night nearly makes my hair stand on end. It was a cold, dreary night in November, with the wind blowing a regular gale and the fog so thick that I couldn’t see more than thirty feet ahead of the pilot to save my life. I had left St. Louis with an unusually big load of passengers, including a distinguished party of gentlemen on their" way to Washington. I believe my train was the fastest one running East at that time. My timecard called for at least forty miles an hour. Well, sir, just before I started something happened that would make many an engineer abandon his trip, but I didn’t want to seem cowardly and went ahead. What was it? Why, after I get my orders from the train dispatcher’s office, and was on my way to my machine, somebody inside called me back. My fireman was near me and said: *For God’s sake, Jim, don’t go. You know something awful will happen —it always does when a man goes back after getting his orders.* Well, I hesitated a moment, and then I thought to myself: ‘That’s all nonsense —I’m not superstitious.’ The fellow only wanted to give me some trival message, and half an hour later I was rocking on my sea in the cab, dashing through Illinois at a terrific rate and keeping my eyes fixed on the two bright lines of rail in front of me, until they seemed like flashes of lightning darting into my brain. As I said before, I could see only a short distance ahead on account of the fog, but I knew any obscuration of those bright lines, any deviation from their straight course meant terrible danger, if not death, to my precious load of human lives. So I sat there with my hand on the throttle, and every nerve and muscle strained to its utmost tension. “I forgot to say that we were nearly an hour late leaving St. Louis, and I had orders to make up this lost time. Finally we struck a piece of road which I knew extended in a straight line for over ten milds. I felt relieved when

we struck this part of the road, and turning to the fireman I shouted: ‘ Good track ahead, Tom; I’m going to let her out.’ He nodded back at me and I pulled open the valve. I could feel the engine tremble with a new motion as she leaped forward like a hounded deer, and in another second it seemed as if we were not even touching the rails. About half way down this stretch of straight road there was a station and a piece of side-track for switch-off freight cars. There was always from three to a dozen cars standing there. As we approached this point I thought of the siding, and could not help saying to myself, ‘ What if that switch should be misplaced I’ The words were hardly formulated in my mind when suddenly the two bright lines in front of me diverged, and for a moment looked like four. ‘ Great God!’ I cried, ‘the switch is open.’ There was a sudden swerve of the engine to the left and a loud creaking noise, and in desperation I reversed the lever, shut the throttle, and waited with closed eyes and suspended breath the shock which I felt was coming. You cannot conceive the supreme agony of that awful moment. It was too much for me or any other man to stand. The last thing I remembered was seeing the sparks fly back from the driving-wheels as -the locomotive thundered on to destruction. The next instant I fell senseless on the floor of the cab. ” “And you escaped?” asked the reporter, anxiously. “Escaped! Well, I should say so. There wasn’t a freight car on the siding, and the reason the switch had been changed was because a section gang was repairing the main track and had arranged it so that the siding could be used until they finished the job. The result was that we dashed along the side-track and were soon on the main line again, and when I came to the fireman was hanging on to the throttle, which he had pulled out to the last notch again, and there he sat laughing at me. Well, I tell you it was no laughing matter for me. My hair didn’t turn gray, but it was the worst scare I ever had in my life, and I wouldn’t go thrpugh it again for a fortune. You can just bet that when I finished that run I handed in my resignation, and I’ve never steered an engine since.— St. Louis Globe-Demo-crat.

Bed Quilts.

It is not to every one that time and patience to make Japanese or crazy quilts is given, but simpler silken spreads may be made with good effect by alternating plain black silk or satin stripes four inches wide, with six-inch stripes made in imitation of Roman ribbon, or horizontal pieces of gaylytinted silk or ribbon. If the latter is used the corded edge must be cut off. No embroidery is necessary on these quilts, but narrow black velvet run between the stripes is an improvement. The short seams across the Roman stripes should all be pressed open. For ordinary winter use serviceable bed spreads are made of plain red or blue satteen; lined with the same shade of some cheaper material, cambric or siiesia will do very well. Put in sheet wadding and tack the quilt all over in six-inch squares, tying in a narrow ribbon at each intersection to make a bow. If the spread is only large enough to cover the bed without tucking in, it may be edged with torchon lace or with rickrack or braid lace. Cheese cloth spreads are pretty made in the same way with ribbons tied in, or they may be tacked with a cross-stitch of red worsted, and edged all around with two rows of briar stitch done in worsted. Into the overcast edge a double row of orocheted scallops may be worked. In the center, just below the turning over of the sheet, place a graceful bow of wide satin ribbon and tack it down with embroidery silk, the same color in a wfile-apart buttonhole stitch. Loops,

ends, and every part of the bow must be fastened down the same as in applique work.-—Good Cheer.

Trees.

Thank God for trees! What gladness they diffuse into our lives, and how they adorn our world! Who would exchange existence with the inhabitant of some ice-bound coast, or shadeless, arid desert, even to have the sole supremacy of such a region ? Better were one little wood within our happier clime, whose trees form a grateful shelter from the summer’s heat, and a protection against the winter’s storms. What a voiceless significance is there in these sylvan friends! Is not the forest monarch, the proud and lofty oak, that could tell the story of centuries, an emblem of grandeur and endurance ? And the “snow-loving” pines, they symbolize the brave, fearless spirit, ever erect in tempest as in calm —the changeless pines, clothed in perennial beauty, whether filling the woods with fragrance, or forming in dark masses along some far-off mountain ridge. What a charm lies within the soft, deep shadows in a grove of elms, Whose interlacing boughs. Festooned in arches, meet for lovers’ vows. Or the wide-spreading chestnuts, so glorious with their snowy blossoms and rich perfume, . The affluent foliage of whose branches made A cavern of cool shade. Surely these are the types of repose and sweet content, giving a home-like loveliness to each scene, whether it be the canopied avenue or the solitary tree, that by “its blossom, white and sweet,” imparts a poetry even to the “village smithy.” But. the variety of these forest children is infinite, each possessing a different beauty! And how we hail our old companions, when, after months of dreary winter, and spring’s long-linger-ing approach, we find ourselves in those unforgotten wood-paths, and there, in the gladness ofa sweet day-dream, exclaim once more, “Thank God for trees!”— Exchange.

Chamois Underclothing.

The New York Post says: Chamois leather underclothing is fast gaining in favor for winter wear, we reply to a New England correspondent. These very excellent garments make it almost impossible that even the most delicate should suffer inconvenience from a change of atmosphere. Many people have a habit of heaping on a superabundant amount of clothing when they have to “face the weather,” and the removal of their when indoors is often the cold. If people could be induced to wear these perforated slips there would probably be less suffering from many of the ills which flesh is heir to. Ladies who delight in wearing nothing but a jersey jacket upon the promenade find a strong refuge against the northern blasts in the perforated chamois vest. The greatest drawback to these comfortable garments is their expense, as two entire suits cost a considerable sum. They wear a long time, however, and undergo the wear and tear of a laundry with very good success. English women have taken to wearing fine wool undergarments, and speak of their comfort with enthusiasm. All kinds of fine wool flannel underclothing are made for both men and women, and' elderly English women, who for want of proper exercise suffer severely from the cold, wear vests of arctic down. These, however, cannot be worn beneath a snug bodice, which is a disadvantage.

Spare the Trees.

Thirty years ago lowa had thousands of as beautiful walnut trees as ever grew on the face of the earth. They were ruthlessly cut down and split into fence posts and rails and sawn into lumber which was used for all kinds of building purposes. Many of those trees to-day would sell for SIOO. The same line of policy is now being pursued with many other kinds of timber. Pine trees are being laid waste by the million. The southern turpentine manufacturer is yearly destroying thousands of beautiful pine trees for the sake of a gallon of turpentine from each, that in a few years would be worth many dollars, add so it is with other kinds of timber. The land upon which much of this timber is growing is of little value for anything else. There are many trees now growing in lowa that if left alone for the next twenty years would bring large prices. It would be well to think of these things before ruthlessly chopping them down. The line of the poet would be applicable: “Woodman, spare that tree.”— Traer (Iowa) Clipper.

He Asked a Favor.

“Now, darling, will you grant me one favor before I go?” “Yes, George, I will,” she said, drooping her eyelashes and getting her lips in shape. “What is the favor I can grant you?” “Only a little song at the piano, love. I am afraid there is a dog outside waiting for me, and I want to scare him away.”— Philadelphia Call.

Carbolic Acid.

The Connecticut Farmer says t “A bottle of carbolic acid should be kept in every farm house, not only as a disinfectant, but as a wash for wounds and sores. For any purpose it should be diluted with water. Its power to destroy fungus growth makes carbolic acid invaluable in pruning orchards of pear, plum, or peach where blight or disease is suspected. The pruning shears should be frequently dipped in carbolic acid water.”

The Friends.

Mr. R. T. Bentley, a member of the estimable community of Quakers at Sandy Springs, Md., says he was severely affected by rheumatism in his right hand. Mr. Bentley applied St. Jacobs Oil, the great pain cure, and by its continued use, in a short time, was completely cured. Never did any soul do good but it came readier to do the same again, with more enjoyment Never was love or gratitude or bounty practiced but with increasing joy, which made the practicer still more in love with the fair act —Shaj'lubury.

HEREDITARY TAINTS.

Some Revelation* on * Subject Which Concern# the Welfare of the Race and the Happiness of AU. [Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.! To any one who has studied the laws of life, and especially those which relate to reproduction, an experience such as we are about to relate will come with special force and in-, forest. The transmission of certain mental traits of prominence, and of certain physical traits of equal prominence, are facts which all acknowledge, but which none can understand. The father may be distinguished—the son, an imbecile; or, the parent may be decrepit and unknown, and the child achieve the highest place possible to humanity. But through it all, there will be certain characteristics, which mark the individual as descending from certain ancestors. Too often, indeed, these characteristics are Infirmities, and often of a physical nature. Theea facts were strikingly brought out during a conversation, which a representative cf this paper recently had with Mrs. Carrie D. T. Swift, who is the wife of one of our ’most prominent citizens. This lady related that she inherited from her parents certain tendencies, over which she had no control, and which were in the nature of blood difficulties, assuming the form of rheumatism. Her experience can best be described in her own words To the writer she said: “I felt the beginning of this hereditary taint many years ago, in vague pains, which seemed to come unaccountably and at uncalled for times. They were annoying, exhausting, and interfered not only with my duties, but also totally destroyed my happiness. At first, they would be only transient, appearing for a day or two, and then disappearing; then again they would come In such violent forms, that it was impossible for me to lift a cup to my mouth. Afterwards, my feet and hands swelled so that it was impossible for me to draw on my shoes or gloves without the greatest effort. I realized what the difficulty was,but seemed powerless to avert it. I finally became so bad that I was confined to the house and to my bed most of the time. My joints pained me continuously and my feet sweWod to enormons proportions. Knowing that I inherited this tendency, I had about abandoned hope, when I began the use of a remedy, which was recommended to me by a friend as being "specially efficient in cases of a similar kind. To my great gratitude, I found that it relieved me, restored my appetite, and I am able to say that notv I have gained forty pounds in weight, feel perfectly well, and am in the best possible condition, owing, wholly, to Warner's Safe Rheumatic Cure, which was the remedy I used." “No one would ever suspect you had suffered so, Mrs. Swift, to see you know,” remarked the reporter. “That is what all my friends say. Only yesterday, an acquaintance of mine, whom I had not seen for some time, hesitated, before speaking, and apologized by saying, ‘Why, I really did not know you, you have changed so for the better since I last met you; how well you do look.” “Have you any objection to giving the name of the party who first mentioned this remedy to you?” .“Not the slightest. It was Mr. R. H. Furman, the photographer.” The newspaper man, after bidding Mrs. Swift gcod-by, repaired to the photographic rooms of Mr. Furman, when the following conversation ensued: “Have you been a sufferer from rheumatism, Mr. Furman?” “Well, I should think I had." “For how many years?" “Twelve or fifteen.” “Did you try to cure it?” “Yes, I tried everything, and at last went to the Hot Springs of Arkansas, and nothing seemed to do me any good until I tried Warner’s Safe Rheumatic Cure.” “And it cured you, did it” “Yes, completely.” “And you can cordially recommend it?” “Yes, indeed, more cordially than anything I have ever known of. It is simply a wonderful medicine. I believe that two-thirds of all cases, both acute and chronic, could be cured as I was cured by the use of this remedy. In fact, I know a number of persons who have been in the worst possible condition, and are now completely well, wholly through its use.” The statements above made are from sources the' authority of which cannot be questioned. They conclusively prove the value of the preparation named and show that oven hereditary traits can be removed by the use of the proper means.

Suggestions for Husbands.

Do not jest with your wife upon a subject in which there is danger of wounding her feelings. Remember that she treasures every word you utter. Do not speak of some virtue in another man’s wife to remind your own of a fault. Do not reproach your wife with personal defects, for, if she has sensibility, you inflict a wound difficult to heal. Do not treat your wife with inattention when in company; it touches her pride, and she will not respect you more or love you better for it. Do not upbraid your wife in the presence of a third person; the dense of your disregard for her feelings will prevent her from acknowledging her fault. Do not entertain your wife with praising the beauty and accomplishments of other women. If you would have a pleasant home and a cheerful wife, pass your evenings under your own roof. Do not be stern and silent in your own house and remarkable for sociability elsewhere.—Young Ladies’ Journal.

An Important Fact.

The voluntary testimony of thousands established beyond all doubt a fact of vital importance to the sick and debilitated, viz., that Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters is an absolute specific for remittent and intermittent fever, dyspepsia, constipation, biliousness, mental depression, sleeplessness, chronic diarrhoea, and all diseases of the stomach, liver and bowels. The unmedicated stimulants usually prescribed in these cases only aggravate the symptoms, instead of removing them. The Bitters, on the contrary, act as a corrective and invigorant, without producing the unpleasant and dangerous consequences of the old-school practice. The action Is mild and soothing to the irritated stomach and bowels, promoting digestion and preventing flatulence, nausea, headache and all internal irregularities. A wineglassful before meals greatly assists digestion. The convalescent may use them with great benefit, as a means of restoring strength and cheerfulness. When a new oil well is discovered it is difficult to get the hole truth about it.

High-Piced Butter.

Dairymen often wonder how their more favored competitors get such high prices for their butter tne year round. It is by always having a uniform gilt-edged article. To put the “gilt edge” on, when the pastures do not do it, they use Wells, Richardson & Co.'s Improved Butter Color. Every butter-maker can do the same. Sold everywhere and warranted as harmless as salt, and perfect In o Deration. A scene from still life—a moonshiner’s headquarters.

Hard to Believe.

It is hard to believe that a man was cured of a Kidney disease after his body was swollen as big as a barrel and he had been given up as incurable and lay at death’s door. Yet such a cure ,was accomplished by KidneyWort in the person of M. M. Devereaux of lonia, Mich., who says: "After thirteen of the best doctors in Detroit had given me up, I was cured by Kidney-Wort. I want every one to know what a boon it is.” The man who breaks up a cat concert with a bootjack is liable to hurt his neighbors' "felines.” Boils, Carbuncles, and scalds are eliminated by using Samaritan Nervine.

THE SURGEON’S KNIFE

Required to Remove * Stone from the Bladd^r—This Dangerous Operation Might Have Been Avoided by the Timely Vm of Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy (of Readout, N. Jf). Mr. Bimon Tietsell, formerly of Rondout, N. Y., had been treated for seven years by various physicians for what they oalled Stricture of the Urethra, wtthoutbenefit. He finally consulted Dr. David Kennedy, of Rondout, N. Y., who found his trouble to be Urlnaag Calculi, or Stones >n the Bladder. The Doctor at once removed the foreign bod. les with the knife, and then gave his great kidney and liver medicine, FAVORITE REM. EDY, to prevent their reformation. The entire treatment was eminently successful, and Mr. Tietsell's recovery was rapid and complete. * While FAVORITE REMEDY is a specific in all Kidney and Bladder diseases, it is equally valuable in oases of Bilious Disorders, Constipation of the Bowels, and all the class of ill Insap arable from the constitutions of women. Don’t forget the name and address, Dr. David Kennedy, Rondout, N. Y. The Doctor would have it understood that, while he is engaged in the introduction of his medicine, FAVORITE REMEDY, he still continues the practice of his profession. He treats all diseases of a chronic character, and performs all the minor and capital operations of surgery. , “Ob, I’m a great old masher,” exolaitned the cider press, as it came down on the apples.

Rescued from Death.

William J. Coughlin, of Somerville, Moss., says: “In the fall of 1876 I was taken with bleeding of lungs followed by a severe cough. I lost my appetite and fiesb, and was confined to my bed. In 1877 I was admitted to the hospital. The doctors said I had a hole in my lung as big as a half dollar. At one time a report went around that I was dead. I gave up hope, but a friend told me of Dr. Wm. Hall's Balsam for the Lungs. I got a bottle, when, to my surprise, I commenced to get well, and to-day I feel better than for three years.”
