Even in our enlightened age, and amoofr people who ought to know better, the prac- tice of " draining " dishes is less uncommon than it should be. Servarts do it almost ia- variably, unless closely watched. It is a puzzling question wby it should be consider- ed easier to wipe a pile of platea and cups that have all been drawn from the water at ence than to dry each article singly while it ia still so hot that it needs bat a few touches of the towel to make it bright. The towela themselvea sra not the least important of the mt ana to the end of wash- ing dishes properly. They rcqaire cara to prevent their becoming greasy and maloco: ona. While washing soda should never be used in any department of laundry work, the addition of a couple of tablespoonfuls of ammonia to the suds in which dish towth are Ecrubbed does no him, and assists ma- terially in the removal of dirt.

I was in the sadoad years of my appren- tioosUp as fireman on N«. 63. of the Oinoin- nati, mmilton and Daytm Boad, wheni get such a seitback one night as few firemen ever lived through. The inddent happen- ed about fifteen years ago, bnt every feature of it oomes to my mind as olear as 3 the af- fair occurred last night. My engineer was named Bob Ripley. He was a jovial, whole- souled fellow, never going behind a glass of beer, and was known all along the line as a sober and trusty man. Well, all of a sudden, bad luck struck him. He had a little home, which was taken away by a land shark. He left Cincin- nati one night for Toledo on his usual mn, and returned to find his wife dead. She had some heart trouble, and died without a moment's warning. Within a fortitight his boy baby aiokcned and died, and that left Bob without heme er family. I tell yon it made an awful change on him. He was off for two or three weeks, and when he oame back to the oab I oould scarcely recog- nfz3 him. He had a wild, queer look to his eyes, a atrange sound to IUib voice, and he was so sullen and morose tiiat I almost feared to speak to him on matters of busi- ness. I made two or three trips with him, and but for the fear of hurtmg his feelings I should have made applloation to be changed. It was the third or fourth trip after he returned to the read when we left Cincin- nati one November night for the north. It was a wild, stormy n^ht, and as we got out Into the country I caught Bob smiltaig and ohnokling. The wlldness of the night seemed to strike a respcnslve chord in his soul. Old '63 seemed te be in uncommon spirits, too, for she was gliding along with a heavy train, and making ne fuss over it, I made eOme remarks about it, but Bob had no reply. Indeed, he acted as if he was alcne in the oab. I didn't like the situation a bit, for I had a tusploion that he wium'c quite right fn his head, and he was also spnrilng her beyond sohedule time. We were to pass a side tracked acoomucojation about thirty miles out ef CincinratI, She ought te be in eight minutes ahead of our timo, bnt 63 was overreaching schedule time so fast that I feared a colllalon. The ocniuctor had hla eyes open, however, and at a stop about twenty miles out he came forward and cautlGned Bob to slow her down. We had overreached five minutes in that short run. B«b answered surly enough, but as we pulled out again he obey- ed orders and checked her down to lose the extra minutes gained. We had passed the siding all right when I noticed that his [nervcmness increased. He would whistle for crossings where none existed, and ha would toot anppoaltiona cattle off the track, Oaoe, seeming to ignore my presence altogether, he opened the furnace door and piled in the fuel/ al- though we were carrying more steam than I had ever seen on. At Hamilton I wai fully resolved to speak to the conductor if he oame forward and gave me opportunity, bnt he did not. It was when I returned to the oab after oiling up that Bob looked up at me with a atart, as if surprised to see me, and said " Jim, I'm thinking of them." "Yes. Bob, but they ue better off," I soothingly sdd. " You must bear up like a man. it's sad enough, God knowi, bnt yen must meet it bravely." "Did you see " " What I" I asked as he suddenly check- ed himsslf. He did not answer. He looked at his watch signalled me to rinr the bell, and in a moment more we were off. Tee night WAi growing wilder, and we ^ere not ten minnt«8 out of Hamilton when I made up my mind.thatthera wastreuble close at band. B}b tamed te look at me now and then in a way to prove that he meditated evil, and from the way he kept the ii\iiiBtle going the passengers behind must have auppoaed the track to be swarming with Uving obetmo- tions. We were about half way to Diy- ton and I had just replenished the fire, when Bob suddenly gave her all steam. It seemed to me as if old 63 took a clean jump of ten feet as she felt the extra steam, and I shouted my alarm. The words were hardly uttered before he was upon me, " Yen ve got to die with me I' he scream- ed as he clutched my arms, and I'm not ex- aggerating a bit when I (ell you that his eyes looked like ooals of fire. I was by f w the stronger man of the two, but in hk first rush he dashed me about in a dreadful way, and had almoat pulled me to the ateps before I called up my muscle. Then I did my best to save him. He was bound to go off, and I was bound to pre- vent, it and as we pulled and tagged at each other, the train was running so close to a mile a minute that none of the passengers cared to reduce the fraction. I think our struggle lasted about five minutes. I was gradually draiHng him back Into the ten- der, and was wondering how I oould se- cure him, when he (uidenly shut his teeth on my right wr st, and bit and toro like a dog. I had to let go my clutch, aid aa I did 81 he tamed and leaned off, uttering a cry whioh rang in my eara for weeks after.

The branch to Tlumen has not yet baen made, and the Ufa Zlatoust seotfea to Eketorinburg has only lately beoi dcolded upon, after years of dispute over the con- flicting claims of different towns. Yet the almost ohlmerioal Idea of a Russian Paoifio railroad is already talked of and written about as an undertaking of early and easy aocompUshment. The other day a meeting of the society for furthering Russian trade and commerce, under the preaidenoy of Count Ignatieff, was enlightened on the sub- ject by a discussion of several projects for the great work, among them being a onrions one tendered by an enterprising exile living In Siberian banlahment. All diffioultias were very satisfactorily diapoaed of except one, wtiioh was quite left out of oalcnlation. and that was the souroe ef Che 150.000.

The addition of the Cana- dian Pacific railway to that oi the United States naturally makes the Russians feel more keenly than ever the diaadvantoges of their isolated position on the Amoor and the Pacific coast. Tiie Value of Salt. Severe pains in the bowels and stomach are often speedily relieved by the applica- tion of a bag of hot salt. A weak solution of salt and water is recommended by good physiolana aa a remedy for Imperfect diges- tion, and for a cold In the head it is a com- plete cure snnffad from the hollow of the hand. We have known severe cases of catorrh entirely cozed by persistent nte of thia aimple remedy every night and morn- ing for aeveral montfaa, when the best of efforte of the beat physicians failed te do any good, It should bo used milkwarm. A good handful of reck salt added to the bath is the next best thing after an "ocean dip," and a gargle of a weak solution ia a good and ever-ready remedy for a sore throat. As a dentifrice, salt and water is very cleansing, and also hardens the gums. It will also prevent the hair from falling out. When broiling ateak, throw a little salt on the coals, and the blaze frem the dripping fat will not annoy, A little in starcn, boiled or raw, will prevent the Irons from sticking. If the Irons are rough, put a little salt on a thick brown paper, lay a piece of thin muslin over It, and rub the iron over it till perfectly amooth. lak attdns are entirely removed by the immediate ap- plication of dry salt before the ink has dried. When the salt becom a discolored by ab- sorbing the Ink, brush it off and apply mors; wet slightly. Continue this till the ink ia all removed. If new caliooea are allowed to lie in atrong aalt water for an hour before the first washing, the colors are less likel y to fade. Damp salt will remove the discol- oration of cups and saucers caused by tea and careless washing. A teavpaonful of salt in each kerosene lamp makes the oil give a much clearer, better light. A Royal Piinter. It Is not generally known that Prinoe Lnd- wig of Battenberg, son of Prhioe Alexander of Hesse, is a practical printer. Like most of the princes of the Prussian Royal House, who have been taught either art or a trade. Prince Ludwig of Battenberg was early called upon to choose a calling, and his choice fell upoa the art of Gattenberg, In the palace ot his father the Prince has a printing office completely fiited np for or- dinary printing and book-work. Prince Ludwig prides Umself on his ability to com- pote with compositors and printers who fol- low typography fera livelihood. What is atlll more interesting is that the Princess, tte oldest daughter of the Grand Dake of Heaio. Is a prictor, too, and that, tha high- born pair work regularly together at the case.
