One of the. most rcmatkable in- stancg of animal ugacity that ever camefinli‘h fin this section is re- lated by Engine“ James Parrott and Conductor Frank King. When the 'southbound passenger train was neat Hallsburg a mare and- denly dashed up the tack right to- ward the train, running swiftly. It looked as ii'sbe would fun right into the engine. and the air brakes were applied. slowing the train down to six or seven miles an hour. Engineer Par- rott thought the mate 'as blinded by the headlight. but the train was no Iooner slowed. down than the mate turned about and vent from the train, keeping right (loin the tracks and making it impossible to run {an lest the animal be struck. The mare went straight to a bridge over a creek, and when within a short distance of the bridge of the railway it was discovered that the colt of the mare had fallen with all of its feet through the bridge, placing it where it would have been killed had not the mare literally flagged the'train. The mare stopped and began whinnying and the train stopped also. Engineer Parrott the firernan and Some of the passengers got off and, relieving the colt, left the mare to trot 05 with her young as proud as a peacock. Those who witnessed the occurrence say it was wonderfulâ€"Homtpn"Chronicle.

There is a slab of black stone in the British Museum, which. if you could wall: away with-it, and could esâ€" tablish-your claim as the owner. you could sell any day for a quarter of a million, and find half a dozen money ; kings in England and America ready‘ to buy it. There is nothing very strik- ing about this stone, it might be a piece of black marble with some pe- culiar hieroglyphics upon it. But it is just these hieroglyphic: whichntalre it so valuable, because they are the key to all the ancient writings of the Egyptians, and without this stone, called the Rosetta stone. we should be unable to read the Egyptian writings which have been discovered (tom time .to time, Some French tourism: found the Rosetta stone in Egypt and trans- portgd it to Paris, where an English- man tool: a fancy to it for a garden ornament. He paid £5 for it, five sovereigns, and got_ a. treasure. which you could cover with gold and yet not represent its value 'Till the day of his death, however, he did not know 'what that bit of stone was worth.â€" Daylight; The Future of the emphatic.

In an important crim- inal court the evidence in all the cases heard after being ‘taken 'down by the court reporters is talked into a graph- ophone, the records being handed to typists. The ecOnomy in time and labor is immense. Instead of a re porter having to sit and read his notes slowly to the typist, he dictates to the machine at the rate of'lsolwords a minute and then departs to resume his work in the court, In a famous case, for a record of the evidence in‘ which President Roosevelt was impatiently waiting, re'lays of expert stenograâ€" phers took the evidence in shorthand, dictated it to the graphophones, and then‘rushed hack to resume their re- porting So rapidly Was the task ac- complished that in thirty minutes after-the close of the case the whole of the proceedings were all neatly type- written, ready for dispatch to the presidentâ€"From Daylight. “Political parties do not nominate their greatest men for the presidency of the United States,” admonishes the Denver Post.
