Morgan* the English engraver of the
standard or “bc^ard” dollar, animated
doubtless by an ambl'ion similar to that of
the yoatn who fired tho Epbeaiai dome,
smuggled into his work In two places the
initial letter of bis surname. Although
croscoplc In size these “Ms” are plainly
discernible on the coin even to the naked
eye after a careful learch. An eagle ejed

when his attention was called to the mat

They were, of course, cat in the die by
Morgan.” The chief of the secret service
acknowledged that thty bad not

who bad placed them on the falsa

HOW TOWNS SPRINQ UP.

markable Crowth.
Providence New*.
The following story of *n engineer on a
Western railway show* how fast the conn-'
try is growing. Wo do not hold ourselves
responsible for the troth of Ibe story, but
do not hesitate to say that it is “not much
of a stt ry," compared with that told by
the Western man who makes an effort:
Ona day I was driving my engine over
the prairie at the rale of forty miles an
hour, without a house in sight, and sup
posing the nearest town to bo thirty miles
distant. Bat as I glanced ahead I was as
tonished to *ce that I was approaching a
Urge city. I rubboa my eyes, thinking it
was a mirage.
“Jim,” save I to the fireman, "what’a
this place?”
‘ Blamed if I know!” says Jim, starting
ant of the cab. “1 decla*e, if there ain’t a
new town grown np hero since we went
over the line yesterday.”
"X believe you are right, Jim. Iting the
bell or we shell run ever somebody 1 ,T

large depot where inore'n 500 people were
waiting to see the first train come into the
place. The conductor learned the name
of the town, pat ft down on the schedule,
and we went on.
“'Jim,'says 1, as we palled oat,‘keep
yoar eye* open for new towns. First thing
you know we'll be rannln’ by same strange
place.’
“That's so?’says Jin. 'And hadn I
we better git one ol the brakemen to watch

nnd Fireman on a C.inaolan Railroad DrcWCr S
A Yale, B. C., special seye: A frightful
accident occurred on the western division
of tbe Canadian Pacific railroad, fitly miles
above Yale, on the night of February 25tb
no acconnt of which has hitherto been
printed. An engine drawing twenty lam
her laden cars end acsboose was bowling
rapidly down the winding track along th
Fraser river. On one side wer. ellfls
reaching to a bright of 3,000 feet,occa
sionally cut through by frowning canyons
spanned by high trestles. A huge boulder,
loosened by the storm, bad dropped from
!li heigula at tha entrance of one ol theie
ire-ili-., and Engineer Avans did not le
ft in time to prevent a collision. Tbe
engine, alter striking tho boulder, shot
from the trealle, followed by tbe tender and
four rsre. The engine described a great
arc, landing scro*t the gorge, 100 feet away,
and then slipping 150feeltlowu tbe siopioa
cron ite wall to the brink ol the river, where
it stopped. '
Engineer Evans remained In Ibo engine
and, strange to esy, wu nnlnjnred, thongb
both tbe cylinders were broken and me
engine was otherwise badly wrecked. Fire
men Gascoigne leaped from the tender
down Ibe side Of tbe gorge end was serp
oasly injured, though he Is now fast recov

rocks below, while tea rtrseuge.-s in the

in his way. But the capacities of the goose are limited,
and two geese, as compagnons du voyage, would hardly be
desirable. Poor geese ! T-»e cold day brought about by

SPEAKING OF FABLES,
Re minds us of the old story of one of those unfortunate^
animals, endowed by heaven with more ears than brains.
This animal, l<nown in natural history as the KEN
TUCKY MOCKING BIRD, happening one day ona
lion’s skin, dinned it and went masquerading through the
country BLEEDING and CAJOLING the unsuspecting.
He raised such a racket that it is charitable to suppose he
thought he was a lion. Had he been satisfied to deceive
himself alone/the delusion might have been prolonged.
But attempting to deceive others his unseemly bray gave
him dead away. ' *

Kidney Diseatet.
Few people ere aware of the alarming pre
▼alcnce of kidney diseases, especially among
those who hare arrived at,or are past the mid-
dlesge. It is declared on good authority that
fully one-half the deaths In this country aro
either directly or Indirectly th© result of kid
ney disease of some sort.
A great majority of the men above forty years
a«t ara afflicted with some sortof aff etton
of the kidneya or bladder and these diseases
are on the lncreaie. Persona are often seri
ously affected before they know of it them
selves, and thus these Insidious disorders get
a good footpold before anything lsdono to dis-
lodge thenL •
Dropsy, gravel, diabetes, Bright's disease,
incontinence, debility, catarrh of the bladder,
albumcnurla, etc., are among the many forms
icse diseases. Most of these are very dlfll
to core, defying the poweiaoftentimes of
the best physicians obtainable, and are pro
nounced by many to be incurable.
Physicians state that many forms of kidney
disease are very difficult to detect, as, in die-
eases of this form, oftentimes there are
symptoms of a marked nature. This Is one of
the reasons why they are so difficult to cure,
