A certain man laboured in the division terminal of a great rail- And the duty which was way. assigned unto this man was this, that he should begin at the head of || the train, and walk the length of it, and stoop down and strike every car wheel with a hammer. Andhe did precisely as he was told. For he walked the length of every train, and struck every wheel on the right side thereof, and then turned himself about and walked back upon the other side of the train, and the wheels upon that side this he did quickly, so that he had it done by the time other men had put ice in the coolers and waste and done in the boxes of the axles.

Last year an eminent veterinary surgeon in the North of England was asked to ex- amine a kilten for traces of skin disease. He could find none. But three weeks later he, the kitten's owners, and five persons in the household of the friends to whom it was given, developed ringworm. There could be no doubt that the germs of the infection had been carried by the kitten's fur. Even- tually fifteen people were affected But the kitten never developed the disease.

Now, when I heard this tale I said, That man is not so infre- quent as some men might suppose.

Yea, there might even be such men as make speeches for a living, and there are such in many another vocation.

'And I prayed my God for all men, that they may labour, not only to strike the wheels, but-to listen for the ring.

"For there are those who strike the wheels and go on, and if the train run through they say it is the result of careful supervision, and if the wheel crack and the train land in the ditch they say it is a mys- terious Providence.

A chance reference in a temporary to Kilwarlin's Leger in 1887, has (writes "T. B.") brought back the details of the race to my meniory, though I did not see it, nor in fact have I ever seen a race for the St Leger But the school I was at was only a few miles from Doncaster. Kilwarlin was a bad-tempered brute, and there was a false start. Being brought back seemed to upset him, for when the real start took place he point blank refused to budge. This had been anticipated, for a stable lad was stationed behind with a whip, hut even with his ' efforts added to those of the jockey, the rest of the field was well over 200 yards down the course before Kilwarlin could be made to start. Yet the fact remains that the horse won. I don't know the full pedigree of the horse-he was a half-brother to Bendigo-but I have always been told that he was not quite thoroughbred-at any rate the fact was that he had hoofs like plates of meat. It was a very wet day and the course was soft slushy mud. The big feet of Kilwarlin enabled him to plough through it whilst the other horses with their smaller hoofs were handicapped by While lovely-eyed signora, she go sinking.
