STORM MANUFACTURING CO., NEWARK, N. J. Kipling'* Karly Start. Mew York Mall and Kkpreas. * Kudvard Kipling comes of a literary and artietic family. He lea nephew of Bdward Burne-Jonee, the well-known ariist. His father, who is of Dutch descent, an artist and a man of varied attainments, went from England to India many years apo. and became the heed of the Mayo bchooi of art at Lahore. On his mother's side the young author can trace his connection with three nationalities. En* glish. Irish and. Scottish. He was born in India twenty-foiir years a*o. Five years letet he was taken to England to. be'edu- cated, and remained in that country until be was 16, & pending most of the time at school at Westward Ho. in North Devon, where most of bis school- fellows were sons of Anglo-Indians and destined for the armv. Rudyard Kipling took to literature early In life. While yet a boy he edited a school paper, end the first money he earned with his pen he received for a sonnet written for the London . World. When he was 10 years old he went back to India and took a position as sub-editor of the Civil and Military Gazette. A little .volume ot parodies, entitled "Echoes." which he pub- lished on his own account, had so large a sale that he was not a loser by the venture ?an uncommon experience for a young writer of verse.

Accident* willhappen occasionally on the beet managed railroads, and sometimes bad wrecks happen, the cause of which frequency is a mystery, and the tracks era blocked for hours. For erery minute the track remains blocked money and time are lost and passenger and freight traffic are interrupted. Bo the railroads are always prepared, and within thirty minutes after a wreck has happened a wreaking train is onthe way withe trained crew of men, and if the telegram announcing the wreck says that passengers or employes are in- jured, the wrecking train comes along with its physicians, bandages and cots. A wrecking outfit is about the homeliest thing owned by a railroad company, but when they are needed they are needed badly. VESTIBULE# TRAIN SERVICE Over the Bortnezn pacific railroad; dining ears and sleeping ears erery day in the yeat Seattle to Cbicago at miles the soonest route. Second- ciaas passengers, too, are aJiurded excellent so- The wrecking ears are k*pt at the end of a division, and are directly under the con- trol of the superintendent of that division. The wrecking train is composed of three cars and a powerful locomotive, and all the cars are fitted with air brakes. The first car is what Is known as the track car. The body of the ear Is very low, and upon it are carried two extra pairs of trucks, rails, cross ties and spikee, for sometime* the track is torn up in a wreck. The sec- ond car is the wrecking car. It is built of the heaviest timber and Is mounted on two pair of small, heavy trucks. Half of the car is coverbd over and the other half Is a ? mete platform, but arising from tt e center is a powerful derrick with a twenty-eight foot beam.
