I decided to play -a joke on him, so I closed the shut­ ters and when he got through I sat down at my piano and played the same thing. Then I peeped through the blinds and saw Verdi hanging half-way out of bis.- window, looking In all directions. I l>eard no more from his piano. "That evening, as we were walking together, he was much preoccupied, and I asked him what was the matter.

Poullaln, who was aged flfty-one| Uved with his wife and another family' in a Bmall cottage close to his signal box, at Pierrefitte, about 15 miles from Paris, and both of the Poullalns were certified servants of the com­ pany. These boxes are only entrusted to tried employes, as the express service by day and night Is almost "perpetual, requiring unceasing vigilance. The work was shared between Pool- lain and his wife, and soon after S in Che morning the woman hearing a cry, ran down and found her husband lying on the threshold just able to say: "Help! I am being murdered." Shouting aloud, she began to attend Poullain, when she heard the sema­ phore bell giving warning of the a^? proaching 3:09 train, and, leaving her dying husband, she rushed to save the lives of the passengers by working the points, which she alone now under­ stood. The whole time she continued cr^ ing at the top of her voice, and she saw first their son and then the neigh* bors come out and pick up the wounded man, but though half heart­ broken and shaken with sobs, she re­ mained at her post for the passage of the Calais boat train, due at 3:30. This she stopped, and Poullaln, un­ conscious but stll breathing, was placed on board and conveyed to. Faris, while his heroic wife refused to quit the levers'till 6 in the morning, when finally she was relieved by an­ other signalman. It was only then that the poor creature broke down in a long fainting fit, and as soon as she recovered she took train to see her husband, whom she found dead^, LEVITATED TRAIN IS SPEEDY Children Cry For Emile Bachelet's Invention, at Present Designed for the Transmission of Mail Matter. The "levitated" train, the invention of M. Emile Bachelet, a model Of which is now on exhibition in London, Is designed tor th* transmission of letters and mail packages, in the carriage of which, it is suggested, a speed as high as 300 miles an hour might be attained. Briefly, the novelty of the invention is that the train or vehicle is lifted into the air, clear of contact with the ground or rails--e. g., what may be shortly termed magnetic repulsion, and by magnetic attraction is pulled forward when thus suspended in the air. This action has been known as a scientific fact for a good many years. A well-known demonstration of a cop­ per ring held over an alternating cur­ rent magnet, when the ring floats sus­ pended in the air, is commonly asso­ ciated with the name of Prof. Elihu Thomson. ^ The railroad line consists of a pair of rails about 35 feet long laid over a series of coils or bobbins. The ve­ hicle, weighing 45 pounds, consists of an iron car or tube fastened to an aluminum bed plate. This repulsive force acting on the aluminum lifts it instantaneously, as soon as .the cir­ cuit is closed, about half an inch into the air and holds it there. But at intervals the track is spanned archwise by other electric magnets. The iron of the superstructure of the car responds so that the vehicle is im­ mediately pulled toward them. The electro magnet, as soon as the car reaches it, is automatically de-ener- glzed and ceases to exert any Infiu ence on the vehicle, wklch passes on, being pulled forward by the next mag­ net beyond it. Thus it travels on, from one magnet to the next, the speed being in proportion to their number and strength. The coils or bobbins in the roadway which lift the vehicle into the air are excited in groups by the moving ve­ hicle through brushes affixed to the nil!minum plate and kept in contact with the live rail by springs, so that the vehicle carries its magnetic field with It, each group h£ing energized as the car arrives at it and de-ener­ gised as the ear leaves it Oldest Railroader Still Works, George Washington Smoot, who is a foil cousin of United States Senator Smoot of Utah, is the oldest man in the employ of the Baltimpre & Ohio Railroad company, if not the oldest train man in the United States. He was born at Ellicott's Mills, Maryland, in 1838, and is now ticket agent at Mariner's Harbor, Staten Island. In 1857 he was brakeman on the Mar- tlnsburg division of the B. ft O. In 1858 Smoot was known U(' the fraternity and to patrons of the B. ft O. as "The Boy Conductor." He was at Harper's Ferry, east-bound, when John Brown made his famous raid, and Smoot's brakeman, E. L. Dorsey, was seriously wounded by one of Brown's "minie" balls. When the Civil war broke out and the B. ft O. railroad was blockaded, Smoot went to Alexandria as conductor on. the United States military railroad, and at the close of the war was honorably discharged. Then he returned to thq, B. & O. as conductor on a construc­ tion train on the Philadelphia division. In 1889 he went to Staten Island.

Shabby-looking man and a thfti little ahaver of a boy were standing with their backs against a wall along the public way.

Queen Helena was visiting the town, to attend the unveiling of a statue of Victor Emanuel. After the mayor of the town had made an elaborate speech of welcome, he handed the queen a glass of cham> pagne, and asked to be allowed to drink her health. As their glasses clinked, a drop of champagne fell up­ on the queen's gown. She opened her pocketbook to take out her handker­ chief, but the gallant mayor was not to be caught on any point of etiquette. '"Your majesty," he exclaimed, grand­ ly, "there is no need of that! Every­ thing is already paid for."--Youth's Companion. **.&• s >4 •-i •P m The Guilty One. "Marriage is a lottery."

Now, lent This 8o? ,, A traveling sales agent visiting a large factory made a bet with the manager that he would pick out all the married men among the employes. Accordingly he stationed himself at the door as they came back from din­ ner and mentioned all those who' he believed to be married, and In almost every case he was right. "How do you do It?" asked the manager la amazement. "Oh, it's quite simple," said the traveler, "quite simple. The married men all wine their feet on the mat; the single men don't" It doesn't pay to stick too closely to old notions of things. New ideas often lead to better health, success and happiness. A Wis. couple examined an Idea new to them and stepped up several rounds on the health ladder. The husband writes: "Several years ago we suffered from Coffee drinking, were sleepless, nerv­ ous, sallow, weak and irritable. My wife and I both loved coffee and thought It was a bracer." (Delusion.) "Finally; after years of suffering, we lead of Postum and the harmfulness >f coffee, and believing that to grow We should give some attention to new Ideas, we decided to test Postum. When we made it right we liked It and were free of Ills caused by coffee. Our friends noticed the change--fresher skin, sturdier nerves* better temper, etc. "These changes were not sudden, but increased as we continued to drink and enjoy Postum, and wa lost the desire for coffee. "Many of our friends did not like Postum at first, because they did not make it right. But when they made Postum according to directions on pkg., they liked it better than coffee and were benefited by the change." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Just outside Stockport on the Great Central railway, England, is a station named Hyde. The other day an Irishman was somewhat startled on arriving at this station by hearing the guard shout "Hyde!" The stationmaster, in a raucous voice, also shouted "Hyde!" and several porters took up the re­ frain, "Hyde! Hyde!"
