Dr. Lntz is also an enthusiastic bacteriologist, and it may be hoped that ere long a prophylaxis and therepeutics of leprosy may be made known to the world by him which'will prove more efficacious than the means hitherto employed by either scientists or soi-disant doctors or leper curers."—Pall Mall Gazette.

Killed by Lightning in an Open Field.

William S. Smith, of Ashleyville, was killed by lightning on Prospect Hill, in the north part of West Springfield, some time Saturday afternoon. He left his house early in the afternoon to mend the fence of a pasture about a mile from the house and carried an ax. He also had a dish of salt for a colt in the pasture. As he did not return the family became anxions, and sent to all the neighbors to learn if he had been seen. A party was made up, and the roadside and the fence lines of the pasture were searched, but without success. Another party started, out and the body was found between 8 and 9 o'clock in an open pasture adjoining the Smith lot. A deep wound on the head showed where the bolt of electricity struck him, and passing down his body burned it badly. His hat and one shoe were torn to pieces. There was a small hole several feet deep in the ground at his feet.—Springfield Republican

Hop Kataing Is a Gamble.

"Hop raising, is the height of gambling in the agricultural line," remarked Mr, J. D. Iler, the well known brewer. have seen hops sell for 8 cents a pound, and I have seen them sell for $1.50 per pound. Some hop raisers have made $2,000 and $3,000 per acre others have lost about as much. It is about as risky as horse racing, and hop raising hasn't half the elements of fun that can be found in popular sports. This year hops are bringing about 85 cents per pound, and are still going up. Drought, frost and damp weather are some of the causes of the failure of the crops. If some satisfactory way could be invented of keepiug hops from year to year the range of prices would not be so great, but until this can be accomplished the growing of hops will continue to make some men poor, others rich."—Kansas City Times.

A Water Run Street Car.

A company of St. Louis men has just been formed for the purpose of manufacturing and introducing a hydraulic street car motor. The pumps with which the hydraulic pressure is exerted are to be operated by electricity, and the hydraulic engines are to be connected directly to the axles of the trucks of the car, thus obviating the heavy gearing that is used in the electric motor.

Two tanks, each containing about onehalf barrel of water, will be used on each car. Two points of merit claimed for the invention over the regular electric system aro that it dispenses with the use of cog gearing, which wears rapidly and requires frequent renewals, and that the same device can be operated with compressed air by placing receiving tanks for the air under the seats of the car. —N ew York Journal.

Public Structures in Brussels.

Brussels, not content with having more beautiful public buildings than any other European city save Paris, has now determined to rival Paris itself. King Leopold has just laid the foundation of an arch of triumph one-third larger than the celebrated onp in Paris, and it is announced that this gigantic work will be completed by the close of the century. Brussels already has the most monumental court house in Europe—a magnificent pile, which cost vast sums of money, and which contains some superb halls. The Paris triumphal arch cost $3,000,000 that of Brussels is to cost $8,000,000. It will be richly ornate with sculptures, some of which will be of gigantic proportions.—Chicago Times.

Tuberculous Animals.

A royal commission has been appointed in England to inquire and report "what is the effect, if any, of food derived from tuberculous animals on human health, and, if prejudicial, what are the circumstances and conditions with regard to th5 tuberculosis in the animal which produce that effect upon man?" Lord Basing Is chairman. The other commissioners are Professor G. T. Brown, Dr. George Buchanan. Mr. Frank Payne and Professor Bnrdon Sanderson. —New Orleans Picayune.

MAI0NFS LAST RUN.

A little knot of smoky, begrimed engineers, firemen and switch tenders were sitting together on a tool box at the east end of the train shed at Altoona. The silence of the night was broken only by the monotonous puff, puff of a shifting engine dragging a heavily loaded west bound freight to the upper yard. Through the maze of traces gleamed scores of red, green and white lights marking the switches. The group of train hands were idling the time away until the hour should come when the engines should be brought out to haul the two sections of fast line, "No. •1," over the middle division to Harrisburg. There was yet along time to wait, for the bell on the machine shops had just tolled 11, and the train was not due until after midnight. The crowd on the Logan house porch, that great resort of Mountain City inhabitants, was thinning out, and as the air

gTewinore

chilly the lively conversation halted and the men on the tool box became silent and thoughtful.

Suddenly one of them exclaimed: "Here comes old John Malone. fLefc's get him to tell us that story about the last run he made. Hi, there!" he continued in a louder voice. "John, John Malone!"

The passer stopped and peered in through the railings. "Oh, is it you, Billy?" he ejaculated. "I couldn't make out who was calling me. My eyes and ears are not as good as they were ten years back."

Billy soon had the gate open for Malono to enter, and as the two drew near the others the old man asked, "What are you sitting here for, and what do you want with me?" "The same old thing, Johnny we're waiting to take out first section of four, and to pass the time we want you to tell us again of that trip you made back in the eighties which made you leave the footboard."

The old man took a seat, filled and lighted his pipe and puffed away vigorously for awhile before replying. "Well, boys," he said at last, "I

about that Ttm,

and it is hardly the right kind of a story to spin to you as you are going to take out the same train I had that night, but if you want to hear it I'll go ahead. "It's been a good many years ago, but I can see the whole thing as clearly as the night it happened, and it was no dream, though everybody thought so. needn't tell you fellows that fast line was the first east bound passenger train after the mail express, which left here about 7 o'clock. We generally got the train from the Pittsburg division about half an hour to an hour late, but as we only flagged at Tyrone and Huntingdon we always came intoHarrisburgon time to the second. This was easy on a down grade and a hundred and thirty mile run without a stop. The way we used to yank the coaches along the river was a caution, and manv's the time wo rattled over the Juniata at a* mile a minute, not even slowing down for Spruce creek tunnel. "At that hour of the night we nearly always got the white light from the towers. Now and then the green would be given and we had to reduce speed, but raftly the red. Well, thi3 thing of running a train like four with a clear track, no stops and nothing to see but the ballast and trees alongside of the rails makes a fellow grow indifferent, and I won't say a little nervous. It is wearing on a man to speed along through those mountains hour after hour in the middle of the night, never seeing alight except in the tower, and feeling the cold air blow in on him from those hills rising hundreds of feet overhead.- An engineer cannot tell what instant he's going to crash into a landslide. I tell you a night run is enough to make a man feel mighty solemn when passing through Jack's Narrows, or half a dozen other barren rocky spots, such as can be found between here and the Susquehanna, all of which yon boys know well.

and on we went, past little til*

la're* and farm houses, shooting over the road crossings and crashing by empty stations, all of which I knew by instinct, for there were no lights to tell us. "As we drew near the Susquehanna the air became clearer, and when we came within sight of Duncannon the great flaming stacks of the iron works shone ahead of us like immense torches. We were again on schedule time when we passed through the town, and as we ran along the bank of the Susquehanna I slowed down a little. Away across the water I could see the tall switch frignnla on the Northern Central tracks. By and by I caught a glimpse of a headlight and then the faint glow of car windows, although so far distant that the train was scarcely visible through the slight mist rising off the river. I called the fireman's attention to the train, remarking that the Northern Central connection of 'four' was late, and that no doubt we would get the red at Rockville tower, as the other train should clear us at least seven minutes, but Jimmy, after taking along look, said he couldn't see across the river on account of the fog. "As you all know, the old Northern Central bridge was then standing, and the tracks of that road cut right through ours at Marysville and entered the bridge just after crossing our west bound rails. The bridge, now torn down, was even then considered unsafe, and was rarely used, the through passenger trains on the Northern Central being run on the east bank of the river to Rockville, then on our tracks to Harrisburg, and then over the Cumberland Valley bridge to their own road again. Well, as drew near Marysville I kept my eye on the other train, which I could see dis tinctly, thinking that we would let it have a good start, so as not to get blocked when we crossed the river. We were not running more than twenty-five miles an hour, and when finally the Northern Central train was hidden by the long covered bridge I concluded she would reach Rockville before we got to the west bank of the river. "The bridge crossed the river diagonally, and we had not yet reached its mouth when my frame stiffened with horror and my eyes fairly burned in their sock ets. Right in front I could see the head light of an engine flashing through the bridge, and almost at the same instant 1 caught a glimpse of a well filled passenger train coming over the crazy old structure at full speed. I knew instinctively that it would reach the crossing but a moment before us, and that no power on earth could avert a collision. Absolutely paralyzed with fright, I can still remember seeing Jimmj* leaning out of the cab and pulling the bell rope as unconcernedly as though there were no such thing as danger. I closed my eyes in horrible suspense. In an instant the crash came. I felt the engine reel and shake I heard the grinding of the timbers and the roar of escaping steam, while on the air rose such a wail as never before or since met my ears. "The next thing I knew was when felt some one shaking me and heard the fireman shout: 'Shut her off, Johnny shut her off. Do you want to get us both laid off?' With an effort I brought back my senses and grasped the levers in front of me. When I looked around we were nnder the shed at Harrisburg. I heard a passenger ask a brakeman: 'Has the N. C. train come ifi?' and the reply dazed me: 'Yes, sir, come in ten minutes ago.' "I resigned the next day, boys, and I wouldn't run the risk of going tlrrough that experience again for the whole road." The old man's hist words were drowned in the roar of an incoming train, and ere he had finished first section of No. 4 had come rumbling into the station from the west.—Philadelphia Times.

A Room in Mrs. Logan's Home.

Mrs. Gen. Logan has a room in her Washington house known as "memorial hall," in which the mementos, souvenirs and books of the late general are preserved. The furniture is of black walnut and prune leather, which was brought from the Prairie avenue home in Chicago. The walls are decorated with portraits of and battle pictures in which the soldier participated. On a pedestal is a life size marble bnst, before which fresh flowers are placed every day.

One quaint piece of furniture i« an old easy chair once owned by Andrew Jackeon, and a small tea table that belonged to Henry Clay. Dozens of beautifully engrossed resolutions cover the lower walls and brackets the medals, decorations and official documents fill a large cabinet, and a second contains thirty walking sticks that were presented to the general white in office. Mrs. Logan has a valuable collection of china, including Hungarian, Chinese, French, Japanese, Viennese and old English ware, besides a Mayflower tea set and a cabinet filled with historical glassware.—Washington Letter.

Saccharine in Frnita.

The discovery of that substance known as saccharine has almost revolutionized the business of canning fruits. This new "sweetener," which the French government has already prohibited* owing to what it calls a dangerous element which enters in its formation, does entirely away with the use of sogae. It co3ts almost nothing.
