When the &, R & K. railroad was Opened through the^ietuTock wilder­ ness of Northern ami Northwestern Pennsylvania, some years ago, I was engineer of the .first, train that made tliv i uuuu iuu," said Joe Carrol, now on the Erie divisions,, "and it was attended with «uch unusual and peculiarly lively exper­ iences that 1 resigned my place after that first trip. If I had l»een in the menagerie business it 'might have been a big thing for me to lurve rc- luarned on the road for a few trips longer, for I think I'd have had enough material in that time to start a zoological exhibition, liut I was simply wanting a job as an engineer, and not as a collector of natural his­ tory specimens. A job on a railroad where you are ex­ pected to stop every little while to either capture a bear or kill a cata­ mount, and where you are apt to be attacked right in your cab by some fierce denizen of that cheerful region, wasn't just the kind of a job I was looking for, and one trip was enough for me. That trip only covered a dis­ tance of about thirty miles, but we gathered in three bears, one of them alive, two catamounts, and the biggest bald eaele that was ever seen in.that locality. Besides that, we had a race with a catamount, saw two more Wbars, and chased a big buck for more than a mile before it escaped by a tre­ mendous Iqap across a ravine. "That first train over the B., B. & K. wasn't an excursion t;ain, but a train for business. It wuij/a mixed train, and I remember very well that there was a car-load of calves in it on the down trip. We hadn't gone more than three miles into the woods when mv fireman touched me on the. arm and pointed toward a big hemlock tree at one side of the road. Peering out from behind it was a tremendous big bear, with only his head and shoulders visible] 'As tjie train passed by the tree the bear came out from behind it, and looking back, we saw him in the middle of the track, stand­ ing upon his haunches and gazing after us. We had hardly got over the excitement of tbe bear's survey of us when a big catamount came bounding through the trees from somewhere in the woods, and raced along * the train, leaping from tree to tree, and sometimes get­ ting several rods ahead of us, al­ though we were running twenty-flve miles an hour. Whenever the wild­ cat got ahead of us it would stop and crouch on a limb, and glare at us as we came along, as if it intended to spring upon us. It kept along with us for more than a mile ..and then bounded away again and disappeared. Whether it was the same catamount that met us two or three miles further on, in company with a mate, and boldly boarded the train, I can't say, but it is likely that it was. Whether it was or not, when we were going up a very steep grade known as Snow's Mountain, and nec­ essarily running slow, I suddenly .heard a great bleating among the calves in the cattle car, which was only the second car behind the en­ gine. I leaned out of the cab win­ dow and saw & catamount clinging to the side of the cattle car and trying to push himself into the car between slats, but the opening was too small. I grabbed the long iron poker used by the fireman, and jumping from the engine, ran back and dealt the wild cat a blow that knocked it par­ tially loose from the car. My attack on the ca-tamount turned its atten­ tion from the calves to me, and it sprang from the car at me. Another blow stunned the cat, and another one broke its back. "My fireman had by this time stopped the train, and the conductor, and a brakeman came running to­ ward the cattle car. Before they reached it I made the discovery that a second wildcat, which/being smaller than the one I had killed, had squeezed between the slats of the car, and had already killed a calf, and was making a meal from it in one corner, the other calves being hud- dlea in a trembling, bleating group at the other end of the car. The con­ ductor of the train had a revolver, and he put the weapon through an opening in the car, close to the cata­ mount, and fired. The fierce animal sprang to its feet, and seeing me and the brakeman close to the car, on the opposite side, he leaped, toward us, striking the side of the car with such force that the animal fell back to the floor. The conductor fired a second ball into the cat, and the tough beast got up again and leaped toward the 'conductor, striking the side of the car and clingiug to it this time, and endeavoring to get out at one of the narrow openings. The . conductor shot (the animal in the throat, and it fell back and died. "The conductor carried the two dead wildcats back to the express car, and we started on up the hilL Just at the summit, perched in "the crotch of a big chestnut tree, and not twenty feet from the track, we came in sight of our Recond bear. I gave a sharp toot with my whistle and the bear tumbled out of the tree as if he had teen shot, m m mmmm ' -T *. «• ̂ called the Long Gravel Cut, a narro# pass a mile long, with high, steep banks on either side, out of the bushes at the side of the track, arid perhajpe a hundred feet ahead of my eftgihe, bounded a big buck right on to the side of the track. The deer stopped in frightened uncertainty, gazed for a second or two in big-eyed astonish­ ment at the, approaching train, and then turned and entered the cuU "That settles his hash!" exclaimed my firemen. "Half-mile trestle starts right from the end of this cut, and unless thatdeercan run a half mile of open railroad tiesor jump aforvy-foot gully, he might as well stand still and let us run over him." "The road was down grade through the cut, and I made up my mind to see how much faster a frightened deer could travel than a railroad tfain, so I pulled her opjjn and'let her slide, f 11 bet we weren't a lainute going through that mile cut, hut the deer kept a good ten sards' spate be­ tween himself and the engine with ease. The road takes the long, high trestle at the end of the cut by quite a stiff curve, and at the left is Kane's gulley, forty feet wide at the ton if It is a foot, and eighty feet deep. If th<i buck attempted to cross the trestle he was sure to fall between the ties to the bottom of the ravine, and for him to leap the gulley seemed utterly impossible. The deer knew his-capacity, however, and Quitting the track at the end of the cut he gathered himself oh the edge of the gulley and shot across that forty feet of chasm as lightly as if he were jumping a six foot ditch, clearing it with a foot or more to, spare.and bounded away into the forest. "Whatever happeiis on this road now won't surprise me!" exclaimed my fireman, as he gazed with bulging eyes after the fleeing deer." "I thought the same then, but I changed my mind afterward. The rest of the down trip was quiet enough, but coming back we had plenty to keep us awake. We werq passing through a part of the hemlock vsoed?: where there had been a big slash- rhg made by the tannery bark-peelers, andhappening to glance back over the train I saw one of the brakemen struggling desperately on the top of a freight car with the biggest bird I had ever seen. The brakeman had his stout brake stick and was ham­ mering the bird, which was a bald eagle, wherever be could get a blow, while the eagle was pitching into the brakeman with beak and claws and striking him with its immense wings. The tojj of the freight car, with the train running twenty-five miles an hour, is not a particularly desirable place for one to have a desperate fight on his hands and I was about to stop the train and give some aid to the brakeman wheu the eagle came running and screeching over the tops of the cars, jumping from one to the other, toward the engine. One wing was dragging, showing that it was broken. The eagle came right on to­ ward the engine, and the first thing my fireman and myself knew it had jumped • into the tender and dashed into the cab, where, being unable to get any further, it con­ tinued with us the fight it had begun with the brakeman. The eagle fought so desperately with the terri­ ble weapons at its command that in a very short time my greasy engine clothes were hanging in strips about me. My fireman retreated through the cab window to the guard-rail at the side of the boiler, and but for the arrival on the scene of the brakeman and the flagman I would have either had to desert my post or been roundly whipped by the eagle. The two men succeeded in overpowering t^e .fierce bird, and we tied him down. The brakeman said the eagle had swooped down on him from somewhere in the bark slashing and almost knocked him from the car at the first assault. It was his lucky blow in breaking the eagle's wing with his brake stick that turned the fight in his favor, for the eagle beat a retreat, and being unable to fly had endeavored to escape by running, which brought it In close quarters in the cab." "It's good this road isn't any longer." I said to my fireman, after we had got over the effects of the eagle fight. "If it had much more of such a country to run through they would have to send a company of soldiers with each train to protect it." "We were within five miles of the end of the trip, and had just rounded Balcom's curve, when we came in sight of three bears, one a very large one and the other two smaller ones, standing right in the.middle of the track, not five rods ahead. We were running fast and I sounded the whistle, thinking to scare the bears off the track, but the sound had no effect on them, except to fetch the big bear to his haunches, where he stood with open jaws and fore paws raised, awaiting what she supposed was an attack, a small bear on each side of her. The engine swept into the foolish bear family at the rate of twenty-flve miles an hour, and when the train was stopped the old bear was found lodged against the fore part of the boiler, dead, and one of the small bears lay twenty feet up in the woods, also dead, while the other was on the cow-catcher, uninjured, but holding on to the bars like grim death. "I never said a word about that bear episode until we got in. I jumped off my engine and gagged as 1 was from the eagle's claws, went .straight to the Superintendent'soffice and told him my place on that rail­ road was at his disposal. " 'The road I learned to be an en­ gineer on,' I said, 'somehow neglected to include bear fighting, catamount killing, deer chasing, and the like in its instructions, and I can't fill the bill on the B., B. K." "And so I quit."--New York Sun. 'S.-e&l'ailft* $© lw a 'Stodtsnstc^ A practical mechanic, who can write as well as work, furnishes the following hints, among others, in re­ gard to learning to be a mechanic: The skill necessary to draw a file straight Is not easily acquired. Many a weary half-hour at noonings and early mornings I have spent in prac­ tice with a block of cast iron and a testing straight edge; but the trained muscles at last responded to the de­ sire for straight lines and perfect levels, both in draw filing and cross filing. , Pertinacious practice gradually taught how to hit the head of a cold chisel when swinginga hammer from the end of an eighteen-mch handle. The Issson was thorough, adds the writer in the Mechanical World, and was not forgotten after the black and blue bruises on the left hand had disappeared. Indeed, nothing that a man learns by this method of in­ struction --experience -- ever leaves him; it is a part of himself. That is one reason why old mechanics, even after they have their physical ability impaired by age, are valuable in the •shop.- * My apprenticeship in a machine chnn TJipr?or ^ jjooc! v,*"or!^ni«n a poor Instructor. During the tem­ porary absence of the oroprietor the chart for the only screw-cuttang lathe was lost It was on a paper, tacked to a shingle or thin board, and one breezy sunamer day was blown out of the window and into the river, on the bank of^fhich the shop stood. It was required to cut some screws in the lathe, eight threads to the Inch; the pitch of the leading screw was six threads. Reasoning and thought Anally brought about the result that the leading screw should be retarded in its revolutions so that it would travel on its bearing only six-eighths as fast as the blank screws on their centers. Six-eighths is three-fourths; so if a wheel can be put on the spindle of the lathe--the blank screw --that is, three-fourths the power ol that on the leading screw, the thing is done. It was ahc-adj known that an intermediate gear, which was re­ quired to drive tbe blank screw and the leading screw in the same direc­ tion, gave only "tooth for tooth," and therefore did not count An overhaul of the gears was made to find two that bore the relation of six to eight or three to four, (iears rel­ atively with the 45 teeth and 60 teeth would do, these numbers being multiples of 15 by three and four; 60 and 80, multiples of 20 by three and four, would fill the bill, so would the multiples of 30 as»90 and 120. One of these pairs was selected and the screws cut. Never after did the writer care for a lathe chart? given the pitch of the leading screw, and that can be counted by a pocket rule and a collection of gears, and the combination can readily be made. There is one other item in learning to be a mechanic that the apprentice should know and remember, and that is that the end of his apprenticeship is only the end of his apprenticeship; he has not "learned his trade," as many claim. The mechanic who "knows it all" is n6t generally worth shop-room. The practice of mechan­ ics, or science, applied to the useful arts, cannot be fully comprehended and appropriated by any man in the period of his mortal life. He is the best mechanic who has never fully learned his trade. --Mechanical News. How Antra*!* SLIRD MAIN . There is a curious difference be- tween the way a horse or cow sheds hair and the way shedding is done by the deer, says an observant writer. Horse hair, or the hair of the com­ mon cow comes out by the roots, and may be curried off without much difficulty, but the coat comes off by degrees. The hair of the deer, on the contrary, breaks off above the root, and sometimes large patches of to­ tally bare skin will be seen upon the animal's body. It sheds its whole coat almost at once, and at the proper season by taking hold of the long hair underneath the throat, the entire raiment of the beast mav be stripped off. leaving the animal quite bare. and went snufflng away at race-horse speed, nevi ing back at the obj frightened him.

A single horse power, in me­ chanical calculations, is equivalent to raising a weight of 33,000 pounds one foot high in a minute. The force of lightning, therefore, has been proved to be equal to the raising of 403,260,000 pounds one foot high in a minute. This is about equal to the united power of twelve steamships, having collectively twenty-four en­ gines of 500 horse power each.

Grundy wae a civil engineer in England at a time when traveling by rail a comnatantiveiy new thing, and many persons had exag­ gerated ideas as to the danger of it. He was upon an engine whleh hfd just run into a station on the Midland' road, and with the driver and vtoker was leaning over tlw hand-rail, watching for the sig­ nal to start again, which signal seemed long In roming. They were already be­ hind time and somewhat impatient. A middle-aged lady stood "trembling on the brink," evidently afraid to enter the train. She looked on as her various belongings were bundled into the lug­ gage van, and was then conducted to a first-class carriage, where an obsequious porter stood with open door. "Will you please get in?" said the sta­ tion agent, but she got not in. Then up bustled the guard. "Now, ma'am, time's mope .than np; take your seat, please." Stqi she Shrank away. The engine! whistled impatiently; the lad^ started back. "Well, ma"am," said the guard, *w« can't wait all day." He held up his hand, and off started the train.

An authority tells how to. make the oatmeal bags, which, used in the bath, give a velvety softness and whiteness to the skin. Take Ave pounds of oat­ meal, ground Hue, a half pound of pure castile soap reduced to powder, and a pound of powdered Italian orris root. Cut a yard of thin cheese cloth into bags about four inches square, sewing them on the machine, and taking care not to leave any untied threads Where a break may let the contents ooze out. Mix the soap, oatmeal, and orris root thoroughly and fill the bags loosely. Sew up the opening in each and lay them away to use as required. They are used as a sponge, dipped in warm water, making a thick, velvety lather and wonderfully softening the skin, while the orris im­ parts a lasting fragrance. It wili be remembered that all soap applications, even thn purest, should be entirely rinsed from the skin. ^Hospital nurses are trained to wash patients first in soap and water, then in clear, very hot water to take off the soap.
