ATOP THE FREIGHT TRAIN.
Walking ths Cars a Hair Raising Ex
perience For a Novics.
There came over me as I^sat In th*
caboose that evening a wild desire to*
ride with the engineer in the calj.
Planning to slip ahead along the halt
mile or so of train at the first stop, I
made known my desire to our con
ductor over that part of the run.
"They'll be glad to see you." he told
me. "You won't, have any trouble get
tin' there. It's a mild evenin'." Ho
swung open the window of the lookout
and called to his rear brakeman. "Jim.
mie, run along with this here party.**
Jimmie pulled me through the window
of the lookout before I clearly realised
the entire plan.
It was a slippery path over the roofs
of sixty cars to the big engine that
was pulling us. and the wind that
swept in from the shores of the ico*
bound lake, along which the tracks (an
for many miles, snapped sharply ove?
those car roofs. Jimmie hung on In
his lantern with one hand, to his con
voy with the other. Long miles over
those slippery car roofs had taught
him to regard it as no very serious
business.
"This ain't nothin'," was his assur
ance. "It sometimes gets nasty when
we get down to zero an' a blizzard
comes a-rippin' from off over the lake.
Sometimes you have to get down an*
crawl on all fours. It wouldn't be
mucn fun to be swept off the tops of
those cars."
There was no disputing that, nor
that the three lengthwise planks at
the gable of the car roofs were not
wide promenades. You jump from one
to another to cross from car to car,
and a man has got to have something
of a gymnastic training and some cir
cus as well as railroad blood in his
veins to do it many times without
dropping into one of the hideous dart
abysses between them.
A hand out of the dark slapped me
in the face. "Drop," said Jimmie. and,
fearing portsibly that I might not obey.
he pulled me flat down upon the cm
roof.
"That was a 'telltale,'" he explained*
and before 1 could ask further we
were in a short reach of a tunnel, and
I understood. We were whirled
through that^tunnel like a package in
a tube, and if we had raised our arms
we could have touched the flying root
of the bore. The smoke lay heavy in
the place. It filled our eyes and nos
trils.
"Not real nice," said Jimmie cheerily.
"But no danger in the holes, save now
and then an icicle gets a crack at your
nut You see, there ain't much use in
arguin' the matter after that telltale*
strikes you."—Edward Hungerford in
Harper's.
PARIS RAGPICKERS.
An Occupation That Is Passed Along,
From Father to Son.
The ragpickers of Paris are born to
their work, the occupation being pass*
ed from father to son for generations.
Each ragpicker family has its own dis
trict, which is inherited by the chil
dren and grandchildren.
In spite of all the progress made- in,
modern and elegant Paris barrels of
waste are piled up on the streets u\
front of many buildings on beautiful
boulevards in ttap-early morning boors,
and it is the privilege and in fact the
mission of the ragpickers to examine
this refuse.
They have use for everything, and
but little is left after they have passed*
their thoroughness being one reason:
why the system is still allowed. Et«
ery scrap of paper" has its market
rags are gathered for paper manufac
turers shoes go back to leather deal
ers.
Old sardine and preserved meat tins
are used for making playthings, old
bones produce gelatin and glue, lem
ons and orange peels are greatly
sought after and sold at the rate of a.
cent a pound to perfume and sirup
manufacturers, old metals are highly
prized, cigan stubs go to tobacco fac
tories, and even stale vegetables are
carted away.
The quarters of the ragpickers ©I
Paris are just outside the coudues «t
the city—sections carefully avoided by
most people who do not belong to the
guild. Every member of the family,
from the oldest to the three-year-old,
takes part in the sorting of the spoils,
and it ofteu happens that members of
a family die either from poisoning
from stale food or from a cut from,
one of the tins.—Popular Mechanics.
"A Nine Days' Wonder."
The memorable reign of Lady Jane
Grey is said to have given rise to the
phrase "A uine days' wonder." Lady
Jane was proclaimed queeu of Eng
land July lu. 1553. four days after the
death of Edward VI. After the lapse
of a period of nine days, on July 1&
•be relinquished her title to the crown*,
thus terminating ber reign hi the short
•pace of a week and a half. A noted.
English historian says. "Thus we come
to the end of the diary of that short
and troubled reign "that from its
length is said to have given rise to the
now (1620) popular phrase, *A nine
days' wonder.'"
