Full well did lirt kn 'itv l ee dangerous character of the lli;i'H.s a.:".nst which s-i,-uee has not yet found a remedy. Only by quick nl prompt attention can danger be verted. After a l'-w inonuqits of dep thought lie hiiddeiily turned and fairly ran to he house of lr. Sardo and rang the 1)'!1. The Hoetuf appeared at an open window aboe and asked the name of Ith. call er. -Kngiio-. r Mattern," was lbe answer. "My child has diphtheria and is in treat lai.g r.M Ir. Sard" threw the d or key out of the window, saying: Opm tie (h. ir and come uj; in the Kiieantioe- I will dress myself." M.iltern felt :;tot:nd in the darkness for tho 1 'yholc, and a few moments Jater stood before the I'ocjor, a young until, who was comparatively new in the profe - ".o?i. "(iive no- a description of your child's Vonditic.o, -o that I can take the m cosiwsary n-: 'dies with tiie; in diphtheria 1 rases i;i" must use all possible dispitc'i. You live here in town?" "No, Ho .tor," answered Mattern, and fvith h;n:i"-l breath he told his sbrv. "You say tuat th" train does led feturn till fl:e iooriiing?" .'aid the Iocfor. rather impatiently. "Why, then. Uid you tall me at this time of night? vVh tt L you expect me to do in the 1 it-antime." -Com with me, 'Doctor!" cried Mat Ifrn, gr(at beads of porspi ration startout on foiehead. "You can sao.

Now. at the dead of night, when everyone is asleep, without signals or information of any kind at the stations to le passed, you intend to run your loeomotivo for twenty-live milesl Why. man, at the first intermediate station we should jump the track because the switches would be turned wrong." -Indeed. Doctor, there is no danger, believe me. At all of the stations the switches will le turned for the train that is to leave first in the morning, and as that is mine, you need have no fear about coming with me." "Itut the crossings are not closed, and as no one expects a train at this time, wo nullit be the cause of a great deal of harm to passing teams." "Xo. no. I know every inch of the ground, ami shall exercise the greatest care when we come to the crossings. And, besides, who would be out iu weather like this';" JUit what you propose doing Is against all rules and regulations; you will lose your position, besides being responsible for all that may lutpvcn." "What do I care for that if 1 could only save my child V You can do this for me if you only will. On my .knees I bos of you to come with me! Olx, have pity on nie'." The Ioctor yielded. Like some wild spirit of the night the solitary engine sped through the stormy tliirkne.'S. Ma t tern had not awakened bis li renin 11 for the reason that he did iiut wish to create. :uiy unnecessary excitement in the en.-'ae house. When tl'o Doctor had taken his place Mattern threw a can of oil on the 'Ire in r.rder to put the engine in quicker motion, and they were soon llyins alonjj at a fearful speed, which was on;y lessened :;s they pased the first siatioii.

which th"y did without accident, as the switches were turned in the right direction. The Doctor sat down in a corner ami tried biinih his broken nap, and Mattern divided his attention between keeping up tiie lire am rosuiaiius mo speed of tie4 online.

Slowly be dragged his weary feet up the stairs. His wife opened the door at his knock. His boy was still living. Mattern saw his ashen face and heard his rattling breath. In bis ears sounded again the awful cry that ho hail heard .1 short time before. His nerves that for hours be had kept under control, gave way. now -that he had reached his destination, and he fell to the floor insensible. It was late the uo.vt morning v lieu the engineer regained consciousness, although he could not collect his thoughts very clearly; a racking headache prevented this. His limbs seemed Immovable and heavy as lead. In the rKiii iu which he found himself, and which ho recognized as their living-room, a deathlike stillness reigned. He tried to lift his head, but in vain; he fell back on the pillow with a groan. His wife beard him and came in, but with a face pale with weeping. "Huthr h' whispered. "Oh, my dear husband, how thankful I am to see you conscious again!" she cried. "How is the boy? Is he still alive?" "Oh, yes, thank (ball Had you come an hour later It would have been too late, but the Doctor thinks ho is past all danger now. lie has just boon called to look after some pi ople win were hurt at the railroad crossing. A man is said to be killed and two wannen and one child badly injured. Try to sleep a little now, dear husband; that will be your best mcdieino. I will call you when the Doctor returns." She kN-.rd him ami went Into the next room where I he child was sleepit ig. One person dead, three badly hurt, perhaps fatally, ami through his fault! He had had no intention of. doing this; all he thought of was the saving of his child; but had he a right to undertake jsueb a fearful responsibility hon he

knew what terrib. 0 consequences might follow? He rose in despair; he could not endure to lie still: the air of the room almost choked him. In his ears still sounded that fearful death cry. With trembling limbs he made his way into the bedroom, l'.oth wife and child were sleeping, lie looked at them silently and bitter tears streamed down bis checks. What would become of those he loved so dearly? Slowly he went down the stairs; he could not meet the eyes of his dear ones, and without a word he opened the door and was out on the street. There he stood for some little time; the fresh air seemed to do him good. The town clock struck 7 it was early yet. Mechanically he turned his stops toward the engine house; he wanted to look after his engine, as was his daily custom. He arrived at the shed; Iiis engine was there no doubt brought there by some of his coworkers. He looked at it sorrowfully, and as of old began to examine it. It siru- k him that something might have been broken during the ride. Suddenly he hoard a loud laugh. One of the workmen, whose duty it was to take out the ashes and start the fire, had come up behind him and now said, jokingly: "1 suppose you want to see your roast?" "Koast?" he asked. -What dt you mean?" The other man laughed mere than

ever. 4,It must have been a pretty jrood bump. I only wonder that the engino didn't jump the track. The front wheels were full of hair. I cleaned the whole thing and dragged the carcass away. The ashbox was full of bones; 'l was a pity, on account, of tlu beautiful antlers." So saying, the workman brought out of nn old shed where the firewood was kept a number of the broken pieces of a deer's antlers. "There, you .-co, the poor fellow fared badly; he did not expect to be disturbed in his roamings at night time by the appearance of a locomotive. Ho was just about to pass the crossing, and, frightened by the light at the front of the engine, stood still, ami so you ran him down. In such oases a deer sometimes acts more stupidly than a sheep or a calf." Mattern leaned against one of the wheels of his engine to steady himself. So the cry he had heard had been the cry of a dying stag! I tut. nevertheless, there had been an accident, where someone was ki'.b'd and oth rs wounded. Was bo awake or only in a feerish dn-nin? The talkative workman seemed to gut -s bis thoughts, or. perhaps, fell like giving him news of which he .-eemed to be iu ignorance. "Engineer Kt el was not as In ky as you. Thi,s morning in taking out tlu early train, be was unfortunate enough to run against a farmer's cart, although it was not his fault. The man who was driving seemed to be in a hurry, and had taken tlu responsibility of opening the gates, so as to cross before the coming train, when he was caught by tin' engine. The accident might have been much worse, but Keel ip ",ckly slackened speed when he saw the open gates. If the train had been gi ing at full sp. ed nothing c nid have saved them; as it is, one woman had a foot breken. :i;i ;her an arm; the farmer and one child were only slightly stunned, and ;ho horses o-.-aped with out injury, mui mgu ncy were mmg far into a ditch; the wagon, of course, is all broken to -'.eces. Mr. Mattern--what ails you? Let mo go!" The man laid cause b ho alarmed, for. like one berefi of hi senses. Mattern had suddenly tin own his arms around him ami kl: ed hi .- a!-Mack-mod face, crvitig and laugi g at the same time. Muttern. 0:; neeount f goin g against all i-.structiiun-.. was taken before an examining committee ami lined one mouth's wages. Put otherwise was not punished, as it became well known why he bad done such a desperate net. As for Dr. Sardo, 110 blame was attached to him; on the contrary, his humane deed brought him considerable practice. Neither of the men is alive now, but the remembrance of this stormy night will long remain with those who are still living to tell of its events. -London Tid -Kits. 'A Light from Above." David Hume, tlie historian, once wrote an essay on the suilieicnoy of the light of nature, in which he gave expression to bis skeptical ideas. Ir. Kobertsoii, principal of the Fnivoisity of lalinburgh, wrote in reply 1o Hume's, an essay on th insullicicney of the light of nature and the necessity of revelation. Subseiu.iitly at an ovoniier company in Dr. Kobertson's Louse, the two essayists com ei sod on the .-ubjed with the usual result-tho gentlemen present were interested, and each dispufant hold to his opinion. As Mr. Hume rose to depart. Dr. Itobertson took a lighted candle to show him the way out. "Fray, don't trouble yourself, sir," said Hume, "I always find the light of nature sullicient." He walked through the open doorway, along the dark I1.1l!. stumbled over something, and phoned down the steps into the street. Kobcrrsoii ran alter him with the light, ami. holding it out the fallen philosopher, whispered, as he raised him tip: "You had better have a light from above, Mr. Hume." lluropcaii Hallways.

The climate of this country is not favorable to growing oats. Our Northern summers arc too hot and dry. If such weather occurs as the oats are filling the grain will be light.

In the cool, moist climate of northern Ihtrope and the 1-rilish Isles, oats grow much heavier than here. It is a good plan every few years to buy imported oat,for seed. The heavy grain will insure a stronger early growth and this will for a year or two hasten the ripening so that it will occur before the hottest weather V fully developed. Fatly sowing and the use of phosphate fertilizers will also greatly help In making the oats ripen earlier and 1111 better. J

Wo have found that in most years a; j dressing of l.'O pounds of phosphate ! paid better (11 the oat crop than oa i wheat, provided the oats were sown early. It is no use to pul phosphate on ;

There is not much of a boom at present lor growing sunflowers, but the time will come when they will be largely grown here, as they are in Kussia, to press into oil. Fvon now a few should be planted every year to grow for poultry, during winter. They are excellent for moulting fowls, because of the oil they contain, but when fowls are not moulting the sunflower seed should be feil sparingly, so as not to falten them. They :ue better food for laying fowls than is corn. Mating Strawberry Plants. When planting strawberries in the spring it is important, if the pest Hate varieties are used, that the stamina to varieties, which will bo neednl to fertilize them, should blossom at the same time. There is a difference of two or three weeks in the time when strawberry plants blossom, and if an early postdate ami late hermaphrodite variety are planted side by side it may result in a great many of the stamens aboi l ing and producing 110 frnt.
