i face* and hashed
i were gathered In a room in
’a boose on Fort street east. For
two Tear* a poor old woman had
lived there, not exactly a beggar
nor an object of charity, but cer
tainly in want. She had a husbind
When she first moved there—a poor
old man whose days coold not lie
long; but one day be was missing.
Be may have fallen into the river,
or be may have wandered out into
the country and died. This.lcft the
old woman alone, and there were
day* and days in which no one
-went near her or addressed her.
The other day when she felt the
chill of death approaching she
wanted some one with her. She
had lived alone, bnt she could not
die ihat way. She wept as tender
bands elapsed hers and kind voice,
addressed her. Death had already
placcd its mark on ber face,and the
women eould do nothing. While
their tears fell upon her wrinkled
bands she passed away as a child
sleeps.
There was bnt iittlcjn the room be
yond an old blue chest—battered
and brnised and splintered, but yet
bolding together. It had seen
strange times, that old blue chest.
It bad held silks and broadcloths—
. it bad surely held rags, it had
been moved "from house to house
and from town to town. It had
listened to laughter, and had heard
sobs and moans. It had grown old
no taster than the woman whose
hands had so often lifted its lid. Il
bad doubtless kept the company of
good 'carpets and furniture and
crockery. ami_ laughing romping
children had climbed over it or
hidden in it. It,had faded, and it*
hinges were rusiy and weak, but it
had out-lived it* owner.
The women looked about for gar
ments in which to cn.hroud the
dead. Nothing was in sight. One
Of them lifted . he I id of the old hi in
chest, and called the others to help
drag it out from its dark corner, it
held treasure—such treasure as men
coaid uot buy nor poverty steal
away. There was a dress of fine
material, cut after a fashion of long
years ago. For twenty years thi
ckest bad been it* guardim. It
would have sold for a tew dollars.
; but though the gnawings of hunger
had come often and the cold had
fonght its way *o her marrow- that
poor old woman would not pan
with that relic of better days. It
may have been a link to eonneetber
with wealth and love. Beneath it
was treasure still more priceless.—
Carefully wrapped in pa’-er was a
•silver dime more than fifty years
old. A week's fast would not have
aentherto the baker's with that ;
relic. A child, dead in its long i
years, hadworn that dime around ;
its neck as a gift or talisman. There ,
was a child's mitten, stained and '
worn, but a mitten knit by a proud
.young mother for her child. It
could not speak to tell 'he dint past,
but it had power. As the. women
saw it they covered their faces with
their aprons and wept.
There wasa boy’s cap and agirl’s
hat, both so old and faded and time-
eaten tba.t hey had to be tenderly
handdled. The women looked from
them to the poor old while face on
the bed and whispered -
“None but a good mother would
have treasured these relics. Site
was old find poor, bnt her heart was
pure.”
Deeper down, ns if to bnfBc the
search of Time itself. » »*» familiar
toy—a child's dumb watch. Hands |
were broken and gone, face scratch
ed and ease battered, but the wo
men handled it a, if a touch would
shiver it. There was a dolls head,
a boy's fish line, some toy chairs, a
yarn" bail ;and other things to show
that in the long ago that dead wo
man bad felt the soft kisses of cliil- !
dren, heard their “good nights”
and thanked God that she was
blessed. Each relic was wept over
—each was replaced will* fresh tear
stain*. They asked the old blue
chest no questions. Its relics might
here been voiceless to a man, but to
a woman and mother each one had
a tale in words as plain as print.
They shed more tears as they bent
again over the poor old dead, and
they said to each otbsr:

Rtasty Slllcs «■ Hoar.
. There was tnrned out from the
Grant Locomotive Works in Peter
son, X. J., last week, a new locorno-
-Jive of peculiar construction, in
tended for the Pittsburgh, ■ Fort
Wayne and Chicago Railroad. 1
Bjme Fontaine, the iuventer, [
claims that this locomotive can be |
made to go ninety miles an hour,
1 while the machinery is run no fasi-
'. er than that of an ordinary Income-
•tive traveling at the rate of sixty
miles an hour. The machinery is
fill on top of the boiler instead of
nuder il. The driving wheels rests
on another wheel, which in turn
rests on the track. This lower i
wheel has two rims, one a tool small
er than the other. The outer rim 1
touci.es the track, ntid the inner or
smaller rim supports the driving
1The*l. The motion of the driving
Wheel thus communicated is uiagni- |
fled by this arrangement so that j
ths lower wheel turns one-third :
faster than the driving wheel, and
so the speed is increased. The i
Smaller rim of the lower wiicci I
bears to the targer rim a relation
similar to Jhijt of ;► very large hub
is grc-atiy magnified at the periphe
ry of the wheel. In the same way
the .notion of the driving wheel in
thU.ea*e is magnified by the pecti- j
liar .arrangement of the wheel it j
rests upon. Mr. Fontaine believes '
that bis locomotive, if it were not i
for the increased resistance of the
•it, could be tun at the rate of one
hundred and seven miles an hour,
ile exjK-eU vkjo make ninety miles -
an hour easily. ' TPl* 'ftiachinery of
