IUND ON THE TRAINb A MAN WHO FOR FIFfEEN YEARS HAft BEEN PICKING UP THINGS. A f«w I tenia From the Notebook of (few H«--P®opl« Who Forget Partabl* Pmp •rty--Umbrella* Head the List of For­ gotten Belonging*. Whenever during the daytime a New York, New Haven and Hartford trail) rolls into the Grand Central depot a stoop ahotiMered, little man, with keen gray eyes and a beard that doesn't grow with sufficient luxuriance to require frequent trimming, strolls down to the end of the platform. When the train stops and while the most laggard of the passengers are still leisurely alighting, he hops nim­ bly on the rear platform of the last car aad proceeds to literally "go through" the train. Sometimes a much excited passenger who has suddenly recollected that he has forgotten something rushes madly back into the train and discovers his portable property in the hands of the little man. Then, if he is of a suspicious disposition, he glares and scowls at the little man, and sometimes pounces upon him and indignantly demands to be told what he is doing with "that." Then a tired look comes into the little man's face and he mildly explains that he is employed by the company to search incoming trains for articles left behind by passengers, which he conveys to the lost property room, where the owners can always get possession of them again by furnishing presumptive evidence that the things belong to them. * When Charlie--that is what the other employees about the depot call him, al­ though he has another name which ap­ pears on the payrolls of the company-- first began this work, his beard wasn't tinged with gray, and he wasn't a bit stoop shouldered. That was 15 years ago. All these years, from 6:30 in the morning until 6:30 at night each day, he has been picking up things that careless passengers have forgotten to take with them when they left the train. It would make any man stoop shoul­ dered to be continually looking for things that long. But his eyes are as keen as ever, and his honesty is still proof against all temptations. If that were not the case, he could have retired with a snug little capital. From the pocket- books and purses and "wads" that he harf found while pursuing his unique oc­ cupation he could have slipped enough into his own pocket to render him quite independent. There are no blanks in his daily rec­ ords. Never a day goes by that he doesn't find something that somebody has forgotten. He picks up fewer things •on Sundays than on any other days, be­ cause on Sundays travel is comparative­ ly light, and passengers are apt to be less preoccupied with business cares and therefore not so likely to forget things. On some days his list of articles found on the in6oming trains is quite a formi­ dable one. This, for instance, is what he turned into the lost property room on Aug. 17: Thirteen umbrellas, two rings (one plain gold and one with diamonds), one over­ coat, one package of legal papers, one satchel, one lady's jacket, t l e Derby hat, one valise, one cape, one uane, one package of underwear, one mackintosh and one pocketbook. And this is what he found on Aug. 27: Seven umbrellas, one parasol, one shawl, one overcoat, one pair of shoes, one pack­ age containing a suit of clothes, one pair of spectacles, one purse, one flask of whisky and one smelling bottle. When the articles are taken to the lost property room, they are labeled with the date on which they are found and the number of the train. Nearly all the ar­ ticles that have any intrinsic value are redeemed. The rest are simply stored away for the gnawing tooth of time to prey upon. Charlie is of the opinion, and surely he may be regarded as an expert on the aubject, that everybody is liable to for- get something at some time or other. Umbrellas are the articles that are most frequently left behind on the trains by travelers. The man who could devise an infallible system by which the owner of an umbrella would always be sure to remember it would reap a fortune. Charlie has tried his own wits at it, but was forced to give it up. He has come to the conclusion that a state of ecstatic happiness, equally with one of intense preoccupation, is apt to produce forgetfulness of portable prop­ erty. He has discovered that newly married brides and grooms are quite as apt to forget the little things they may be carrying with them as the man who has got so much business on his hands he can't think of anything else. The man who never travels without a flask of whisky seldom forgets it. Perhaps that is because the act of putting it into his pocket immediately after taking a nip has been so often repeated that it belongs to the category of unconscious cerebration. It is not an infrequent thing for a man to leave a stovepipe hat on the rack and walk out of the car with a little skull cap on. But when he gets into the streets the small boys are sure to shout, "Shoot tho hatl" or "Where did you get that hat?" Then he discovers the mis­ take that he has made, but the fact that he is never grateful to the small boys for reminding him of it and never re­ wards them must be regarded as evi­ dence of that perversity inheritent in human nature which so often puzzles the philosopher. ! Charlie is of the opinion that some people would forget their own mothers- in-law if they had half a chance. There is one man whose umbrella he has picked up in the train so often that he has lost track of the number of times. And yet that same man has told him frequently that he never leaves the house with his umbrella that his wife doesn't say to him, "Now, dear, be sure you don't for­ get your umbrella." Women, so Charlie has found, are »ven more apt to leave things behind fcemrnUrnUww. «MB.--£FEW ¥«rk THE CHjjtfrftV OF TODAY. Ctew tftw Art of tho Karly Ages Baa Devel­ oped Into a Seienoe. Chemistry as an art dates back from the very dawn of civilization itself. Asa science it is barely a couple of centuries old. To the alchemist its pursuit was la the main but the pursuit of wealth. Now and again we find men among them like Thomas Aquinas, Basil Valentine, Libavius and Glauber, who were im­ pelled by a higher motive than the love of gold to seek for the hidden meaning of things, ba> the mystical tendencies of the middle ages were as scales to their eyes, and such devious groping for the light as they were able to make too fre­ quently ended in utter darkness. Even in the therapeutic crudities of Paracelsus, who was sufficiently sincere in his profession as a thaumaturgist to affirm that magic was the culminating point of all human knowledge, what there was of science was summed up in the aphorism, which in fact passed as an axiom among his disciples: Man is a chemical compound. His ailments are due to some alteration in his composition and can only be cured by the influence of other chemical compounds. It may be questioned indeed whether modern therapeutics has advanced much beyond this position. In strict truth, it is only within the present century that men have seriously set themselves to search for the causes and conditions of chemical change. Phlogistonism, it is true, had in it the semblance of a philosophical doctrine, but it was founded on an utterly false basis, and ultimately fell and was crushed by the weight of its own absurdities. The recognition of the real nature of combustion, itself a manifestation of chemical union, paved the way toward a clearer conception of. the essential na­ ture of chemical combination, and this conception acquired a beauty, order and harmony until then unknown to chem­ ical teaching by the application of the atomic hypothesis as an explanation of the fundamental facts of chemical af­ finity. Indeed it has become a truism to say that this conception, the fruit of patient and sustained induction, is to chemistry what the theory of universal gravitation is to astronomy. For the first time in its history chem­ istry was illumined and vivified by a single consistent theory, founded on quantitative relations and making use of definite mathematical expression, and it was at length recognized that the science must ultimately be referred to mathematical laws similar to those which had been established in regard to the mechanical properties of matter.-- Fortnightly Review. _ Ju - A Brave Soldier. "X nundrecl years ago the unfortunate people who came into the hands of the surgeons, generally soldiers or sailors who had been hurt in action, were forced to undergo the operations necessary to the prolongation of life without taking ether or chloroform, as is now adminis­ tered to make the patient unconscious, and so free from pain attendant upon the operation. To secure quiet, often the subject had to be bound by ropes, so that much as he might desire to wince he was utterly unable to do so. Occasionally patients would show re­ markable fortitude at the crisis of their troubles, but none ever showed more than a soldier who, on the morning after the battle of Yorktown, Oct. 19, 1781, was brought into the hospital, having been shot in the knee. It was found necessary to amputate the limb, and the surgeon ordered the nurses to bind the man fast preparatory to the operation. "Never!" protested the soldier. "You may tear my heart from my breast, but you shall not bind me. Can you get me a fiddler His request was complied with, and he proceeded to tune the instrument, after which he said, "So, doctor, now you can begin." And he played during the whole of the operation, which lasted 40 min­ utes, without uttering a single false note or disturbing his features in the slight­ est.--Harper's Young People. ATTACKED BY A COUGAR. They All Saw It Move. Mrs. Burton, with her husband--Sir frichard Burton, the famous traveler-- and two ladies, had driven out of Trieste to a village dance and were sitting in the carriage listening to the band. In telling of it she said: Suddenly, at the top of a roof, Ic&ught sight of a rat, which appeared to me to be spellbound by the music. "Look!" I said. "Don't move, but watch that rat, fascinated by the mu­ sic." So we all sat and watched it, and thought it most interesting that rats should be susceptible to music like liz­ ards and snakes. We all saw it move. We all saw its head turn and its tail move, and we kept still, not to frighten it away. The next day, feeling so much interested in the affair, we sent to inquire about it. The rat, it turned out, was made of painted tin and fixed to the top of the house. So much for imagination.--Youth's Com­ panion. - ..

Jones, who lives near Perhama, Crook county, had a rather startling ad­ venture with a cougar. He was speak­ ing of bis experience to some friends aad said: "I mounted a horse aad went on a hunting expedition to a place about 20 miles from Perhama, taking with me an Irish Rtaghouad and an Rnglfeh pointer, 1 brought down a deer and a brown bear, which I left at a farmhouse, and bagged a number of wild pigeons and oiher fowl. While returning home about 10 o'clock at night along a lonely road about five miles from Perhama, I noticed what seemed to be two balls of fire in a tree but a yard ahead of me, and which stood but a foot or two from the road. At the same instant my horse, which is what is known in the *cow counties' as an 'original herder,' drew up with a startled neigh, almost throw­ ing me from the saddle. I took a close look at the thing in the tree and saw that it was a cougar crouched for a spring, "As I tried to unstrap my rifle the an­ imal sprang, but missed its mark and passed just over the horse's neck and about two inches from me. It rolled in the road, but recovered and sprang again, this time at the horse's throat. The horse bucked and threw me to the ground, half stunning me. The cougar then rushed upon me, but the stag- bound, which had been standing by, bay­ ing furiously, corralled it. There was a brief but terrific fight, and the dog*4ay dead not five feet from me. The pointer had disappeared, while the horse stood trembling in every limb. The panther again sprang at him, landing upon his back, and away the horse went. "I recovered my feet in a few minutes, unstrapped my rifle aud started in pur­ suit. Five hundred yards from the scene of the encounter I found the horse stand­ ing still and the cougar lying dead at his feet. The horse bore marks of the cougar's claws upon his back, and his flesh was torn in several places. The cougar's head was smashed, presumably by the horse's heels. I cannot account for the result of the strange encounter except by the theory that a limb of a large oak tree, hanging low and directly over the road, struck the cougar and swept it off the horse's back, and the horse took advantage of the opportunity to trample him to death. Tiie horse is vicious, as all 'original herders' are. These horses have been known to fight for hours until one or the other fell, but this is the first time I have heard of one fighting a cougar. I have the animal's skin and will keep it as a memento of the encounter. The horse was not badly injured and will soon be ready for serv­ ice again."--Portland Oregonian. A Monster Owl Killed In the CatslOlla. Henry E. McKenzie of Port Ewen came up the U. and D. railroad as far as Olive Branch for the purpose of shoot­ ing game. While out in the woods near Brown's Station a large bird flew over his head. McKenzie fired and succeeded in injuring one of his wings, causing it to drop in a woods near by. He quickly ran to where it fell for the purpose of securing it. When he reached the spot, he made an attempt to get it, but it sprang at him in such a furious manner as to cause him some alarm and a great deal of anxiety as to his personal safety. With the aid of his companion, Ed­ ward Davis of Olive, and a long pole they succeeded in turning the bird on its back and tying its feet with a piece of rope, thus rendering it helpless and safe to carry. It turned.out to be a great owl, a bird rarely seen outside of British America, its natural habitation. Its wing measurement is 5 feet, it stands nearly 2i feet high and has a head about 18 inches in circumference, surmounted in two large horns. The only injury done the bird was a slight wound about the left wing, and it was taken to Port Ewen by Mr. McKenzie, where he has it on exhibition. Many people who have visited Central park and seen the many curious owls there say that nothing like it, either as to size or resemblance, is on exhibition.--Pine Hill ~ The Scoundrel. A man who had just finished a com­ fortable meal at a restaurant the other day suddenly rose from his chair, grabbed his hat and umbrella that stood against the wall and rushed out of the building. "Stop him!" exclaimed the cashier. "That fellow went away without pay­ ing!" 'Til stop him," said a determined look­ ing man who rose up hastily from a table near where the other had sat. "He took my gold handled ' umbrella. I'll stop him, and I'll bring him back with a po­ liceman. The scoundrel!" Without a moment's pause he dashed out of the house in hot pursuit of the conscienceless villain. And the cashier, a cold, hard, unsympathetic kind of man, has begun to suspect that^ neither of them will come back.--London Tit- Bits. ? Be Showed Them. Professor Macovius was often annoyed at the conduct of a wealthy student who was extremely vain. One day the latter wore a pair of richly embroidered stockings, with low shoes to set them off to better advantage. As he walked into the lecture room he protruded his foot so as to attract the professor's attention. "What a remarkable stocking!" the professor exclaimed. "Let me look at it." The student raised his foot, and the professor grasped it as if it had been somebody's hand. "See here, gentlemen I" he said aloud, and led the student, who was compelled to hop about on one foot, right through the rooEB.--Familien-Kalender. . ~ X Compromise.

The Popolo Romano relates the fol­ lowing authentic fact, without giving more than the initial of the person tc whom it occurred, a distinguished young lawyer of literary reputation, who stated that he could not give the most remote explanation of it: "Some years since, on a hot summer afternoon, the Awocatc A. , together with his wife and two children, left their house in Via Gaeta at 6 o'clock precisely for an evening walk. He was in good health and spirits, but just as they crossed the street he w$a suddenly seized with a shock through hia whole body, which caused all the blood to leave his face and obliged him to sup­ port himself against the wall. His wife in alarm assisted him to steady anxiously asking what was the matter. "He recovered himself speedily and was able to continue the walk, only describ­ ing an unaccountable perturbation and humming in. his ears. The evening breeze and exercise gradually calmed and revived him, and he completely re­ gained his usual frame. They went to visit some friends and then rested at a cafe, when toward half past 11 o'clock a storm which had been gathering began the first blasts of wind, and they hurried home. Scarcely arrived indoors, the Awocato A hurried to remove some flowerpots from a balcony over the street, taking a lamp with him. The wind extinguished the light, so he had to continue his operations in the dark, anly illuminated now and then by the lightning flashes. He was "'just lifting the last flower vase, an ornamental one, given him by his mother, when he was startled by seeing a kind of black veil waving upward close in front of him, which, as it rose, assumed a human form. "Very much disturbed, he immediately related the strange appearance to his wife, and the perturbation before expe­ rienced again overcame him, leaving him unable to sleep all night. Early ii\ the morning came a telegram from his brother at Ferrara stating that their mother had been suddenly seized with cerebral syncope the previous evening at 6 o'clock aud had expired at midnight just as the Awocato A had seen the blftpk veil vanish into space." A Tender Handed Tramp. ifobCTt James Gordon, a casual, de­ clined to break stone in return for food and shelter at the Newcastle workhouse, and doubtless much to the surprise of the workhouse authorities successfully resisted the proceedings taken against him for that act of insubordination. Be­ ing called on in the Newcastle police court to explain his refusal, Mr. Gordon, who appears to be an educated man and is described as speaking "logically and fluently," asked the bench to consider what such work meant to a man like him. His hands would, he said, become quite lacerated, and were he a clerk or a tailor the result would be that in search­ ing for employment afterward he would be unable to follow it. In the case of a shorthand writer, too, he asked how he would be able to write 130 words per minute if his hands were mangled in the way they assuredly would be after break­ ing a ton of stone. His chances of gain ing work were thus minimized, and he "submitted respectfully" that accord ing to law the master of the workhouse did not use any of the discretion which the regulations directed him to use. After the magistrates had consulted together for some time, the chairman stated that the bench could not agree upon a decision, and that the defendant would thus get the benefit of the circum­ stance. Personally, he added, he should certainly have punished him, but his col­ league being of a different opinion they had concluded to dismiss the case.--Lon­ don News. One Consolation. On the dock at Tripoli may be seen a curious collection of articles. They rep­ resent import and export taxes and are sold by the customs officials. The im­ port tax is 8 per cent of the value, and the export tax is 1 per cent. If any one refuses to pay the tax, the officials take possession of one-eighth of the merchan­ dise. Some time ago a European foreign minister visited Tripoli in the service of his country. He had with him 800 visit­ ing cards. When a tax was demanded ou these, he was angry and refused to pay it. A high official of the govern­ ment was summoned to settle the matter. He solemnly confiscated 8 per cent of the merchandise in question, 24 visiting cards. "Very well, keep them," cried the irate embassador, "keep them. 1 resign my- »self. I shall not be obliged to pay you a visit of ceremony for 84 years."-- Youth's Companion. He Picked His Men. A prominent Methodist clergyman, who now resides in San Francisco, tells this incident, which occurred in a Pull­ man sleeper while riding through Iowa. As the train passed over the state line into Iowa a seal was put on the liquor sideboard in the buffet, and the clergy­ man, wishing to test the enforcement of the prohibition law, called the porter and asked him if he could get a little whisky. "Oh, yes, sah," said the porter. "And how about a little wine?" queried the minister. "I think I can fix you, sah," was the prompt aud whispered reply. "But," Continued the reverend gentle­ man, "how about prohibition in Iowa?" "Oh," said the porter, with a knowing wink, "we always pick our men, sah." --San Francisco Argonaut. How He Died.
