The author of "Tales of an Engineer" pay* a tribute to the memory of a man of his own craft who stock to his engine, knowing that his death alone oould lessen the danger of those in his charge.
The train had crossed abridge and was approaching a tunnel, which, being on the shadow side of the hill, looked like a great hole in the night. Nearer the engine the engineer saw a number of dark objects scattered about. In another second he discerned what these were and realized an awful danger.
As he reversed the engine and applied the airbrakes he shouted to the fireman to jump. He might have jumped himself, for he saw the danger first, but no such thought came to him. In another second the pilot was plowing through a herd of cattle asleep on the track.
If they had all been standing, he would have opened the throttle and sent them flying into the river with less risk to his train.
But they were lying down, and as they rolled under the wheels they lifted the great engine from the rails and threw her down the dump at the very edge of the river.
But so well had the faithful engineer performed his work that the train was stopped without wrecking a car. Many of the passengers were not awakened.
The trainmen came forward and found the engineer. He was able to speak to them. He knew that he had but a few minutes to live and left a loving message for his wife. Then, as If he had nothing more to say or do, he closed his eyes, folded his hands over his brave heart and without a murmur, apparently without pain, died.

The late Lord Bath was one of the first territorial magnates in the south of England to throw open his country seat to the public. Visitors have been for many years past free to walk where they please about Longleat park—which is extremely beautiful and 16 miles in circumference—and to inspect the gardens and grounds, while boats are provided for them on the large lake, which is a notable feature in the domain. The interesting house, with its pictures, library and art treasures of every description, has also been open to thousands of visitors every year. f:

*'A bridge which the saltan ordered to be constructed in Consta_unople was to have been finished by a particular day, but the contractor found that this would be impossible with Tuik'ish workmen unless ho worked day and night. This he obtained leave to do, und the necessary lights and torches wtve supplied at the sultan's expense.
All went wo!' for a time till the unfortunate contractor was told that he must open the bridge to let a ship from the dockyard pass through some time before the building was finished.
He said it was impossible, as he would have to pull everything down, and it would take two or three months to replace the scaffolding and pile driving machines. But the ministers of marine and finance said, "If the sultan says it must be done, it must, or we shall lose our places, if not our heads."
So the ship came out, at a cost of a little over £100,000 and a delay of three months in the completion^ the bridge, all because the sultan found his small son crying in the harem one day, the child's grief being that, though he had been promised to be made an admiral, he could not see his flag hoisted on his particular ship from the nursery window.—Constantinople Letter. :M All He "Wm Fit Kor.
The American says that in an Irish court recently an old man was called into the witness box, and being old and a little blind he went too far in more senses than one, and instead of going up the stairs that led to the box mounted those that led to the bench.
The judge took his mistake good humored ly. "Is it a judge you want to be, my good man?" he asked. "Ah, sure, your honor," was the reply, "I'm an ould man now, and mebbe it's all I'm fit tar."ty'/•sSMISeS

A Shrewd' Morket Woman.
^iie shrewdness und loquacity of maiket women—a craft numbering more members in the old worlu than in tla new—are proverbial, and the following anecdote in Mr. Dorau's book on "Table Traits" bears witness to the justice of their reputation:

Longleat was built during the reign of Elizabeth, and the house has never been much altered in appearance, although all kinds of improvements have been carried out. The late Lord Bath built ths stables, which are very flue. One prominent feature iu tiio park is a wooded bill which, from the magnificent prospect, which it commands, is known as Heaven's gate. The IV.tii estates iu Somersetshire and Wiltshire were in very bad order when the ...e owner sue-' ceeded his father in 1837, but they are now iu perfect condition .all respects, and there is not a single ,. cantfarm.— London World.
A member of the sisterhood in Bristol, England, had a £10 pound Bank of England note and wished to exchange it for gold, which was then at a high premium. Accordingly she entered a bank aud made known her request, to be met witL lustunt refusal.
The quiok witted woman, without exhibiting any disappointment, thereupon asked the cashier to let her have ten of the bank's £1 notes in exchange for her Bank of Englander. The exchange being completed, the old woman, taking up one of the provincial notes, read aloud the promise engraved upon it to pay the bearer in cash.
Very good," said she, with a chuckle, "now gi' me goold for your note, or I'll run to the door aud call out, 'Bank's broke.'

to Iron Bridge.
A train always exerts greater strain on an iron bridge when going quickly than when going slowly, but the difference in tho strain depends on the structure of the bridge and is muoh more in some cases than in others. When the train goes over the bridge, it causes a wave to travel along the structure, owing to the elasticity of the iron.
