One day- in tho winter of 1891-2 the dreadful word reached the dty and spread joy or it like wildlife that a Monon piissengor had jumped the Adis just north of town and left in its track death and destruction. The story of tho awful, ghastly procession, with its blanched faces, as it camo i lowly into town on tliat memorable nftomoon, is well remem hered and can never bo forgotten. The sight of thoso wrecked care, smoking ruins, crippled people and dead bodies on tho hillside is frosli in tho memory of all. Since that fatal day a quiet tnclan- h^v tho unfortunate spot. Evon horses and cows slum it. Birds turn their flight as thoy approach it. Only the morbidly curious nave ventured near it One night a leading physician of this dty, who was present a few mo ments after the awful catastrophe and was an eyewitness to tho terrible, hearti-ending scene, was called from his warm bed to see a sick man who resides not far from where the wreck occurred. He told of his mid night trip, which, if it did not turn his raven locks white, gave him a scare that ho will never recover from. He says that just as ho ap proached the foot of tho short hill whoro tho wreck occurred ho heard the distant rumbling of an approach ing train. Cheeking his horse he waited, and in a moment the north bound Monon passenger dashed by on its way to Chicago. Before the bright lights of the many windows had disappeared and tho distant rumbling of the wheels had died away, while tho long lino of lioavy, black smoke still hovered over tlie hill, a sight met his gaze that almost paralyzed him with foar. With the greatest difficulty lie held his horse, wild with fright and plunging mid snorting to break away. Beforo him, oh tho liillsido, where tho fatal conches had rolled down, ho saw two figures clothed in white. Thoy would rise from tho ground, walk about and hold up their white arms in supplication, “I novor," continued the doctor, "believed in glioHts. But tliero were two right before my eyes. I didn’t feel tliut I was exactly scared, hut I was possessed with a sensation thnt is indescribable. It was un awful moment. I can yot see those white robed visions walking about on that liillsido. I only remained a moment, but it seemed to mo I was there an e. My horse fairly flew up the 1, ovor the track and homeward bound, I don’t believo I could get him near that spot again, evon iu daylight.

A Way to Handle Many Lines* A friend of mine has three desks in his office and handles three brandies of ft good business, his dorks, sten ographer, etc., being in an adjoining room. Ho novor allows any work to be placed beforo him during the day that does not pertain to tho particu lar branch on which he is at the time gaged. Tho desk at which he sits indicates that. Ho devotes so much time to each desk—enough to keep the work clear. If you should hap pen to visit him on business I10 will immediately shift seat to tho desk at which this .particular business is transacted. By this method he can transact tho business of two clerkB.

OF Humors of Ignorance. A strange freak of ignoraneff was that recorded of a German fraulein who, on being introduced to an American gentleman, broke forth in uncontrolled astonishmept, “I thought the Americans were all block I"—tho Pompey and Sambo proportion of it constituting in her mind the solo population of the New World. This can only be matched by the opinion of the countryman the Rev.

How to Sco Under Water. A lens for seeing under water is described ns producing an effect which is both astonishing and de lightful. It gives distinct vision to objects from twenty to thirty feet below the surface, and which aro usually out of ordinary oyo range. The eye’s loss of extended vision when under water is owing to the fact that an entirely different focus is required. The spectacles .which can adjust this focus aro made by putting two watch crystals back to back, or with the concavities out ward. Try it and he surprised.—St Louis Republic.
