Superstitious Engineers.

During the recent convention of locomotive engineers in this city, a number of them were invited to the house of a local railroader to meet gentlemen from the various other branches of railroading. As the evening wore on, the grizzled old throttle-pullers and their friends fell to relating anecdotes and experiences, from which the following are taken:

“Locomotive engineers are very superstitious,” remarked the first speaker. “One of the queerest cases that I know of illustrative of this tendency, ” he continued, “was that of old Adam Brown, who ran an engine on the Northern Pacific for many years. Adam, who was a German, was quite an eccentric person any way, and had a habit of approaching the climax of his yarns, of which he was an industrious spinner, by the introductory announcement that ‘we was yoost a goin’ around the corner, about forruty miles an hour’— under such circumstances a cow’s tail would be discovered waving a danger signal, or some other emergency would present itself, calling forth a display of the ingenious Adam’s presence of mind and dexterity. “Well, on the night in question, Adam was pulling a mixed train—that is, one composed of both passenger and freight cars —out of Duluth, the village made famous by Proctor Knott’s allusion to it as the ‘ Zenith City of the unsalted seas.’ I was train-dispatcher for the Northern Pacific, whose trains ran over a joint stretch of road from Duluth to Northern Pacific Junction, and were not under our immediate control until after passing the Junction. “Adam’s train left Duluth on time, but arrived at the Junction late. We could obtain no satisfactory answers to our inquiries regarding the time lost, the conductor reporting everything all right as far as he was concerned. The train continued to lose time, however, and reached Brainerd, the end of the division, where I was stationed, five hours late. I tackled the conductor for an explanation when he came in, and What do you suppose he told me ? Why, that Adam dreamed the day previous that a huge tie had been strapped across the track by train-wreckers. The whole surroundings were vividly impressed on his mind, and he had awakened just as the engine touched the tie. So firmly did he believe in the ‘premonition’ tlißt he could not be induced to run along at the ordinary rate of speed, but crept along all night. “The engineers appear to have a Btrong belief in the strange fatality that seems to attach to some engines, and not altogether without cause. The old No. 47, which used to run on the Dakota Division of the Northern Pacific years ago, was one of these cases. She was wrecked at least half a dqgen times within a few months from various causes, and we never felt confident when she was on the road.”

“Recently I boarded an engine on a train coming west from Sacramento, ” Raid another, “the engineer of which •was an old friend of mine. Noticing a horseshoe hanging in his cab, I asked him why he carried it. ‘i’ll tell you, Tom,’ said he. ‘For a month I was never able to make our time; if it wasn’t a break-down the engine would not steam, or we’d be -troubled with hot boxes, or perhaps go into the ditch. At last I got the horseshoe, and, on my oath, I’ve not had a bit of trouble since. We haven’t been ditched once; have had no trouble in getting up steam; the boxes have run perfectly cool, and the machine hasn’t so much as slipped au eccentric or blown out a soft plug.’ ”

Orpheus C. Kerr.

The author of “The Mackerel Brigade” is being rapidly forgotten of men. Do you remember after he had married Adah Isaacs Menken, and accompanied her to San Francisco, what a bubble of talk there was about it? He resembled then Artemus Ward a little—only that Mr. Newell (Mr. Kerr) was a much handsomer man, of the perfect blonde type and most cultivated in his manners. He is of a very aristocratic family, who repudiated his claims to their clemeney after he had wedded poor Menken. It is well known that it was a genuine love marriage on the part of the poet-author, even if, like many another, it was finally unfortunate. Kerr never regained his vivacity of spirits or his literary position after that fateful silence and its eventual separation. He did her justice after her death by giving to print the only truthful account of her unfortunate life. He lives now in New Jersey. Long since, after a dreadful illness, he was again reconciled to his family, but he was never ]ust himself. He is old now beyond his years; his yellow silken hair is turned a dusty gray; his mustache, that curled around the corners of his effeminate month in a wonderfully artistic way, is white and long. The whole face is one of pain and sadness; he stoops in the shoulders, and he was an Adonis in figure; is morbidly silent and reticent. He writes a little—not much for print; is an inveterate cigar-ette-smoker, and paces up and down some favorite walk or room by the hour, buried in his own gloomy reflections. The “unkindest cut” to poor Newell is that Western papers are copying his “Mackerel Brigade” papers without giving him credit, and even endeavor to so mutilate them as to be made “original. ” Is there any meaner thief in the world than the literary pilferer?— Cor. San Francisco Chronicle.

A bright prospect: “You will never want for a breakfast as long as you are able to earn it,” said a lazy, improvident man to his wife, as he introduced her to her new homo the other day, after their marriage.

The Preventive of a Terrible Disease.

No disorders, exceptine the most deadly forms of long disease, involve such a tremendous destruction of organic tissue as those which fasten upon the kidneys. Such maladies, when they become chrome—and none are so liable to assume that phase—completely wreck the system. To prevent this terrible disease, recourse Bhould be had, upon the first manifestation Of trouble, to Eostetter’s Stomach Bitters, which experience has proved to be highly effective as a means of imparting tone and regularity to the organs of urination, as well as to the liver, stomach, and bowels. Another beneficial result of this medicine, naturally consequent upon its diuretic action, is the elimination from the blood of impurities which beget rheumatism, neuralgia, goat, dropsy, and other maladies. By increasing the activity of the kidneys, it augments the depurative efficiency of these organs, which are most important outlets for the escape of such impurities.

How to Cook an Egg.

Prof. W. W. Williams, in his “Chemistry of Cookery, ” writes: There is a great waste in the ordinary process by which eggs are'cooked. What we want to effect when we cook an egg is to coagulate the albumen, of which the egg is mainly composed. Yet, when we cook an egg by the common method of throwing it into water at 212 degrees, and keeping it there until we guess that it must be “clone,” we run the risk cf rendering it almost uneatable. The cooking temperature of albumen is not 212 degrees, but 52 degrees below that point; and, as albumen exists in meat as well as in egg, the truth is oue which ought never for an instant to be forgotten by the cook who aspires to be anything more than a bungler. ' He tells us how to cook an egg to perfection without running the risk of rendering it indigestible. The egg should be put into boiling water, and simply left there for ten minutes or more. The prolongation of the immersion can do no harm to the “white;” but it should be borne in mind that, for some not very well understood reason, long exposure to a temperature that never rises above, say, 180 degrees will harden the y6lk. This method of cooking may be, and has been, successfully applied to other food than eggs. It is the principle by which the so-called “Norwegian cooking apparatus” acts. In the preparation, indeed, of all albuminous fooc sit should be remembered that overcooking produces toughness, and that it is by no means necessary in any case to employ long periods of high temperatnre to obtain the best results. High temperature is, however, useful, if employed for a short period at the beginning of an operation, to coagulate the albumen near the outer surface of a cooking joint, or, in other words, to seal up the juices within, and so to confine the “goodness” and flavor of the meat. In cooking a leg of mutton in water, for instance, the meat should be put into boiling water, which should be kept boiling for four or five minutes until a coating of firmly coagulated albumen envelops the joint. Afterward a temperature of about 180 degrees maintained for half as long again as the commonly prescribed boiling period will satisfactorily complete the cooking. Owing to her ignorance of these and kindred facts, the cook wastes not only her fuel, but, which is far mere important, her meat.

Decay of the Teeth.

Dr. Stephen Wickes, in his “History of’ Medicine in New Jersey,” says: “Kalm, a Swedish traveler, 1747-49, noticed that Europeans in North America, whether born in Sweden, England, Germany or Holland, or in America of European parents, always lost their teeth sooner than common. This was especially true of women. The Indians, as he had observed, always had fine teeth. It did not therefore arise from climate. He ascribed it to the use of tea and to the custom of eating and drinking everything hot. The same effect was produced upon Indian women after they had become addicted to the use of tea.—Dr. Foote’s Health Monthly.

When we upon some of the peculiar freaks Damir Nature occasionally indulges in, our minds revert back to the creation of man, “who is so fearfully and wonderfully made.” The mysteries of his nature have been unraveled by Dr. H. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, and through his knowledge of those mysteries he has been able to prepare his “Golden Medical Discovery,” which is a specific for all b'.ood taints, poisons and humors, such as scrofula, pimples, blotches, eruptions, swellings, tumors, ulcers and kindred affections.

SELF-PRESERVATION THE FIRST LAW OF NATURE. In these degenerate days when eunni or a morbid craving for excitement alternately depresses or enlivens the animal pulse of unfortunate humanity, a word, a blow, a pistol shot, too often ends the chapter of life aud darkens with gloom and sorrowing regret a murderer's future. Truly “self-preserva-tion is the first law of nature, ” but this iu its fullest aud grandest sense should include a preservation of one’s equanimity of temper, a preservation of a happy consciousness of living and doing rightly, a preservation of that disposition which shows a regard for the lives and feelings of others, all of which makes lifo endurable to our associates and enjoyable to out selves. Again, a knowledge of that which promotes and that which impairs the harmonious action of natural bodily functions is essential to the best preservation of nil there is in life worth living. To this end a judicious selection of remedial agents should unerringly be made when the wheels of perfect health begin to run slow, when the stomach grows weak, when the liver feels sore, when the kidneys give pain, when natural functions cause distress, and gloomy forebodings become constant companions. The wisest selection of a medicine for counteracting such evidences of ill health and restoring robust strength to all parts of the bod.- is DR. GUYSOTT’S YELLOW DOCK AND SARSAPARILLA. Remember this, and do not Jet your druggists sell you in its place anything of a different name, for the writer, who was himself an invalid for years, knows this remedy to excel as a health restorative all other preparations.
