TIM HOGAN'S FIREMAN. Bis Remarkable Experience Because Tlui Otyec3ad to His Color. “Yes, siree, ” declared tho railroad in an, “those days that are past are the palmy days. I remember well when I fired engines that burned nothing but wood. I worked with an engineer. Tim Hogan was his name, who was one of j the best on the line. I ain’t going to 1 give the name of the road nor nothing like that in telling you this tale, ’cause Hogan might get in trouble at this late day. “In them days the engim's had .1 j draft through the smokestack which beat the world, and tho engine Hogan run had the strongest draft of any en gine on the road. Many’s the time Ho gan has had to stop his engine when she was puffing hard going up hill tm* til I got and put a piece of sheet iron over the stack. What for? Why, to keep the fire under the boiler. The draft would draw it all out. “Well, about the time I speak of the road wanted to introduce niggers as tire men. Of course we kicked, but it didn’t do much good. Hogan kicked harder than anybody and swore ho would kill any nigger tho road put in his cab, and, not only that, he would throw liis life less body into the firebox. “One day liogon comes to me just before we was goin out on our run and said, ‘Jim, they’ve put a nigger in with me for this run, but I want you to go out with me, anyway. ’ “ ‘What’s the use?’ says I. “ ‘Well, you como on and don’t ask no questions, ’ says Hogan. “Hogan was a powerful and deter mined sort of a man, uud 1 didn't want no trouble witli him, so I climbed into the cab ’lougsideof t he nigger when the train pulled out. “Well, sir, I'll never forget that run. Hogan was mud and sulky, and he run that old engine with all tho cars behind her just like he was way behind time. The nigger heaved wood into the fire box, and Hogan kept cusBin him and tellin him to keep ’er hot. First thing I kuow we’d struck the bottom of the longest and heaviest grade on the line. Hogan’s engine was drawing great chunks of wood from the firebox, and the stack looked like a volcano. “Finally, when the idgger was lean ing over to lift a piece of wood, Hogan hit him on the head with a monkey wrench, and lie foil over just like lie was dead. I was so scared I couldn’t move, but Iiugun got off his seat and chucked the nigger feet first into the firebox. “I looked out of the window. I didn't wont to see such a shocking sight. 1 happened to look at the smokestack, and I Bee the nigger’s boots come out of it, then his socks, then his pants, and then lie come feet first. When he rose from the stack, lie yells, ‘Goodhy, Mr. Hogan. ’ “Wo huw him light on the ground auii jump up and run. I have never seen him since, nor neither lias Hogan, but you can’t get a nigger into Hogan’s call, and that’s n fact. ”—Memphis Scimetiu'. Off null on n l>ouk«jr. When wo wore boys bur first lessons iu riding were taken on (mnl off) the batik of u donkey. He wus u creature ot changeable, but, on tho whole, amiable disposition. When his temper gave way beforo tho trials to which we subjected it, we took tunny lessons in that gentle urt of fulling off which is so useful a supplement to tho science of riding us more generally understood. Wo cun make this uvowul without any sense of shame now, for it happened onoe on u day forever memorable that our donkey kicked off our riding master himself iu all his glory of boots and breeches. Joe, tho coachman's boy, declared ull our theory of donkey riding to be incur rect, ontl it is significant that, though the donkey could kick off tho riding master, boots and breeches and all, it entirely failed to shake Joe from his seat by any of its antics. Hut then Joe’s method was entirely different from that of the riding master’s. It was, indeed, so simple us scarcely to deserve the name of method, being contained iu the single precept that you should sit as near the tail of the animal as possible. Thut was the sum total of his theory of donkey riding, and it worked to perfec tion iu practice. Our uncle, who wus in the navy, explained the mechanics of Joe’s stylo uf riding nauticully.

IMPORTANT IN BOTH SECULAR AND RELIGIOUS CALENDARS. Why the 25th of Mareli la Venerated In England —What llappena if It Falla on Easter--Secularly Considered It la the Beginning of One of the Year's Quarter*. The 25th of March is au important date both in the secular and religious calendars. It is the first quarter day in the year and us such comes home to ; most of us who have before our eyes the fear of payment of rent or the rarer pleasure of receiving it. The pay dnys in England have been arbitrarily fixed on Lady day, Midsummer day, Michael mas day and Christmas day. Why? No body has been able to expluin, uuless it be that, arriving, as they do, near tho end of each quarter, such important days are better as reminders of our duty to our landlord than any ordinary 80tli or 81st of the month would bo likely to be. But it is, of course, as one of the great festivals dedicated to tho Virgin (as its name, Lady day, or the old term, Our Lady’s day, implies) that it has most importance, being tho anniversary of tho day when tho angel Gabriel an nounced to the Virgin the mystery of the incarnation. Four other dates in the calendar share the honor of this ti tle—immely, I Vu. 2, or tho Purification; July 2, or the Visitation, to commem orate tho visit paid by tho Virgin Mary to her cousin Elizabeth.(instituted by Pope Urban VI in 1883); Sept. 8, or the Nativity, and Dec. 8, or the Con ception. But tho 25th of March, or tho An nunciation, is most regarded, as it is the anniversary, according to St. Au gustine, of the great event to which it owes its origin, and the institution of this festival dates from very early times, since St. Athanasius makes mention of it in one of his sermons. Au order of tho Patriarch Nicephoros having given permission to break tho fast of Lent if tire Annunciation happened to fall on tho Thursday or Friday of Holy week, a council convened at Toledo in (550 to preserve tho complete observance of Lent and ordered the transference of the holiday to tho week preceding Christ mas. Some < f tho eastern churches still follow this decree, but the Syrians have lixed it on Dec. 1 and the Armenians on tho 6th of January, while in the Latin church it has resumed its old place in the ecclesiastical calendar. In tho western church, if it should fall in the Easter fortnight, its celebration is postponed until the second Monday fol lowing tho festival. Lady day <>f March has ulways been very highly observed in England. The synod of Worcester, 1210 A. D., by one of its canons forbade all servile work upon it, and this was afterward con firmed by various provincial and dioc esan councils in all respects except ag ricultural labor. Iu, Rome, in the early part of the cen tury, the tlay used to be celebrated with great pomp and splendor. We read that the windows were hung with crimson and yellow silk draperies and occupied by females iu most gorgeous attire, whilo the churches were patrolled by the pope’s horse guards in their splen did full dress uniforms, all of whom wore in their caps u sprig of myrtle as a sign of rejoicing. Before the service a procession appeared, preceded by anoth er detachment of the guards mounted on black chargers, who rode forward to clear the way to the sound of trumpet and tho beating of drums. This martial array was followed by a bareheaded priest on a white mule, bearing tho host lu a gold cup, at the sight of which ev erybody prostrated himself. The pope used formerly to ride on tho white mule himself, and all the cardinals URed to follow him iu their magnificent robes of state, but as the einineutissimi were for the most part not very eminent horsemen they were generally fastened on lest they should tumble off. It is not to be supposed that iu this country tho day would bo without its tradition or superstition, so we find that it wns considered a public misfortune if Lady day fell on Easter day, and the mediaeval couplet runs: When uur I.tuly fulls in our lord's lup, Then England beware of great mishap. No less than 18 saints figure in the calendar on this day. Of these two were ladies—St. Dula and St Ida; one Irishman, St Carnmin, abbot of Inis keltra, and two Englishmen, St. Alf wolf, bishop of Sherborne, and St Wil liam, tho child martyr, of Norwich. Iu Tho Calendar of the Anglican Church wo find u statement showing how great iu ancient times was the ven eration for the Virgin in this country. Published in 1851, the book states that no fewer than 2,120 churches were named iu her honor alone, besides 102 whero she was associated with some other saint On the authority of the same work, pictorially the Virgin is nearly alwnys shown kneeling or seated at a table reading. Of tho great masters of all countries and ages whose genius has been lavish ed on this theme it will bo sufficient to mention the brothers Van Eyck, Locli ner of Cologne, Albert Duerer, Andrea del Sarto, Vasari, Louis and Annibal Carracci, Ouido, Charles de la Posse, Lesueur and Murillo. Iu connection with the day it is per missible, perhaps, to conclude with a “chestnut” that owes its origin to tho postoffice. It is said that a few years a go a country gentlemun wrote a letter to a lady of rank iu town and sent it through the post with tho following ad dress: "To tho 25th of March, Duke street, London.” Tho postman is said to have delivered it at the house of lat ely Bay, for whom it was intended.— Pall Mall Gazette. The Noisy New Boarder. Here is some Trucadero fun: “What was that awful uoiso in the l oom next to mine last night?” “Oh, tliut was only the new boarder falling asleep. ” A GREAT SHOT. But He learned That Cold “Pleeu” Had Best the Guu. It was on a California ranch in early tpringtime. John, the cook, aged about 17 years, had offered to slay several thousands of the myriads of blackbirds which were swarming around the ranch if Brown, the boss, would furnish pow der and shot. The birds were so numer ous th •: the wheat had to be covered as soon ,ts possible after sowing. If this v—. not dene, the ground would bo *tcelled as free of the seed in a very short time as if it had never been seed ed. Under these conditions Brown was not slow in furnishing the necessary ammunition. The next morning after the breakfast diBhes were cleared up John made bis appearance in the field, armed with the old muzzle loading, double barreled shotgun. After stowing away a liberal amount i f ammunition in the old gun lie tools deliberate aim at a place where the blackbirds seemed to be most nu merous on the newly seeded ground. With u tremendous report the old gun belched forth its deadly charge. When John recovered from the recoil and (ho smoke had cleared up, he was surprised and delighted at the havoc lie had caused in the swarm of birds. Perhaps 40 or 50 lay dead on tho ground, and others dropped every few yards us the birds flew toward a clump of trees about 150 yards distant. Loading iiiu barrel which liud been discharged, John proceeded toward the trees, intent on securing another shot, but as he drew nearer he was surprised to see the birds still dropping to the ground. When within about 80 yards of tho trees, he stopped, undecided us to whether ho had better fire ugain or not, for it seemitl as though he must have wounded all of tho birds, so continuous ly wore they falling. As the birds did not seem to be alarmed by his presence, he concluded to count the dead ones, and find out how many he had killed with one lmul. Cautiously making his way under the trees, lie commenced counting, and the birds kept falling. After counting about 800 dead birds, and seeing that they were still falling, ho eommenceU to feel a little suspi cious, and noticed that the birds were ueting in a very unusual manner up in the tree. ‘‘Ha, ha, ha!” yelled Brown, who had been taking it all in at a short dis tance, unseen by John. Laughing until he could scarcely walk, Brown approach ed, and John, who was sure something was wrong, demanded an explanation. “Well,” said Brown, “1 hud just sown about a pi ck of poisoned wheat when yon came out, and the poison com menced talong effect just after you fired." Tho boys all call him “Blackbird John. ”—Forest and Stream. Tho Ben«Acent Crow. If fanners would make a study of nat ural history and its bearing on their property—the relation of hawks to llieir hencoops, f r instance—there would he better paying crops Tho “Year Book” of the department of agriculture tells about crow black birds and what they eat. * Altont 2,800 of their stomachs have been examined, and of these 2,258 contained food. The birds were killed in 2(1 states. Forty eight per cent of tho food wa i animal, 48 per cent vegetable and 4 per cent was mineral. The blackbird bus a variety of things it eats. “The animal food,” says tho report, “consisted of insects, spiders, myria pods (thousand legs), erawflsli, earth worms, sowhugs, hair snakes, snails, flshes, tree toads, salamanders (newts), lizards, snakes, birds’ eggs and mice. ” To these might have been added young birds, Ash cast up liy tho tide, minnows caught while swimming in shallow water and probably meat and carrion of various kinds. Most of the animal food is, of course, insects. These constitute 40 per cent of the total, the other 2 per cent being the larger things, like mice. The nninial food is taken mostly in the summer. In winter tho food is mostly vegetable matter. Tho insects the bird kills more than make up tho damage he does, especially as his nest robbing ap pears to be only an incidental habit not often indulged in. A largo flock of the birds would, of course, destroy a lot of grain. Some 50,000 would eat about 8,000 pounds a day, hut they would consume as many insects, which would more thnn destroy the amount the bird does.—New York Sun. Ill ue Blood. The “American physician” who makes some umnzing medical or scien tiAc discovery about oneo a week with uudeviuting regularity, and lias long since become an established journalistio institution, shows signs of a tendency to abuse the hospitality bo lavishly ac corded him by the newsp. . of two continents. His story of lne. eg found actual blue blood in his own , ins, for instance, which was cablid lroiu Phila delphia, is only tit to he told to the ul tramarines. If bine blood is over found anywhere, it will probably lie elsewhere than in the United States.—London World.___ Troublesome Oronk’s New Womau.
