tumorous Department. JUMPING FOR LIFE. A locomotive engineer, who was recently asked if he had ever jumped from his cab while the traiu was going at full speed, replied: "Yes, three or four times." On being questioned as to what is the sensation in such cases, he said, in a non-committal way : "That's according to how you land." Theu he continued: "One night, three years ago, the train dispatcher got two of us headed for each other on a single track, at a gait of 40 miles an hour. The first thing I saw was a headlight of the other locomotive rounding a curve, 30 rods away. I shut her off, threw over the lever and set the airbrakes, and then made a jump. I'd no time to pick for a spot, and, as I jumped, I realized that I'd have a had time of it, na T irnow puppu font of the irround. "Mv" Vf"V o "It was on a level, covered with a thistlepatch. ?There was a strip of them, 40 rods long, growing up like cornstalks. I expect they broke my fall somewhat, but I don't know that I ever hit the ground until I fetched up for good. It seemed to me that I just swept through that patch about kneehigh from the ground, and when there were no more thistles to knock down, I landed, 'kerchung!' against an old stump and uprooted it. I broke a leg and an arm ; but that wasn't the worst of it. The doctor estimated the number of thistle-points sticking into my body at 1,000,000,000. My wife and I have been picking 'em out ever since they got me home, and we've only finished one side of me. "While I was running freight, they built a side-track to a gravel-pit at a certain point. In excavating at the main line, they dug a hole about 20 feet long by 10 wide and four deep. As a rule, this hole was always full of water, and, as it was on my side of the engine, and always came under my eye, I got to thinking what a snap I'd have if I had to make a jump right there. "There was a little station just a " !? hnlo ond it was a U1..C ttW.B " ? I " sharp upgrade. One day, while we were humping along to make the station, a dozen cars broke loose from a freight side-tracking at that station, and down they came. By the time I had whistled for brakes and reversed my engine, it was time to jump, and I was just where I wanted to be?right at the pond. "I waited to pass the mile post, and then shut my eyes and took a header, feeling sorry at the same instant for my fireman, who'd got to jump among the stumps. Well, I struck." "In the water?" I asked, as he paused and worked a finger in his ear. "Ob, no! There had been a long spell of hot, dry weather, and every pint of water had evaporated out of that poud. The mud was left behind, though. There was three feet of it waiting to catch some unfortunate, and it caught me. I went head first to the bottom. Then I rolled over and floundered around for five minutes, and could never have pulled myself out unassisted. I didn't break an? bones, but?ugh !" A Careful Boy.?The Sundayschool needed money, and Mr. Smith, the superintendent, had a new way of getting it. He proposed to give each boy a dime. At the end of a month the 10 cents, with what it earned, was to be returned to the superintendent. The fourth Sunday found the superintendent ready to audit the profit and loss accounts, and he commenced with Johnnie's class. "How have you done, Johnnie ?" "My dime has earned another one," said Johnnie, with the air of one deserving a halo. "Good !" said the superintendent, "not only is Johnnie a good boy in helping the school, but he shows good business talent. Doubling one's money in a single mouth requires no common talent. Who can tell but what we have a building banker among us. Johnnie, you have done well." "And now, Thomas, how much has your dime earned ?" "It's gone," said Thomas. "What, uot only failed to earn anyting; but actually lost," said Mr. Smith. "How was that?" "I gambled with Johnnie," was the Via tt'nn " JCy.jr, ? Reanimating a Mule.?In one of the streets of Port-du-Prince an old Negro, who was vainly endeavoring to drag a lazy mule by his halter, suddenly stepped up to a doctor who stood outside his surgery, and offered him a silver piaster if he could put a little life into his contrary beast. The doctor went iuto his office and returned with his medicine-case. He selected a small syringe, filled it with morphia, aud inserted the needle iuto the auimals side. The astonished creature reared upon his hind legs, and then, with a tremendous bray, started down the road at break-neck speed. The old darky looked first at the doctor, aud then at the disappearinnr nilllp *"f? ? "Say, sab,'' be suddenly exclaimed, "bow much was dat stuff wuf you jLi, put in that mule?" "Ob, about 10 cents," laughingly answered the doctor. "Well, say, yo'jistfire 20 cents' wuf right into me. Heali am de cash. I'se got to ketch dat ar mule." Easy as Lying.?Woman in the dentist's chair?Ob, those horrid, cruel lookiug forceps! Won't they nearly kill me doctor ? Dentist?Madam, as I am a man of truth and honor, you won't feel them.

THE SORGHUM QUESTION. Every once in a while some one writes about sorghum killing his cow. Now this sounds amusing to anyone who has been feeding sorghum unstintedly in all of its stages of ripeness for 25 years, but such statements are calculated to deter the new comers from planting the most valuable and economical crop that we can possibly raise in Texas. If sorghum at any stage of growth would kill cows, horses, hogs, sheep, children or chickens, then there would not be a living thing to breathe on my place except my wife and myself; we have never learned to like it. I am not a stickler for cured sorghum?have never been able to cure any that my 9tock liked; but to use as green soiling from the first of August till Christmas, the world can't beat it. A man can feed more stock through the dry summer months on one acre of sorghum than he could on 10 acres of turf, and his stock be in a * ? ? " - I T 1 great cieai oeuer snape. 1 reuitrmuer some years ago I had some hogs that I feared were too fat to go through'the summer, so I cut off all the coru aud carried them through ou sorghum alone till fatteuing time, and they were the finest I ever raised. Now I am ready to admit that it would uot be wise to give au overfeed of sorghum to a cow that bad been on dry rations a long time; it might kill her. So would clover. Neither would it do to turn a poor, half-starved auimal in a patch of sorghum ; but what excuse has a farmer, for owning such an animal ? If I did not have but one acre of ground I would put one half of it in sorghum, for then I would feel safe as far as nice butter and milk were concerned. Many of our farmers are now kicking about the price that bacon is taking. When they wear their heels out till they can't kick any longer, I would like to suggest sorghum, green oats, and a little corn for cure. A few of us take our cabbage, onions, turnips, etc., to market, and the grocer impresses us that the bulk of it will find its way back to the country to raise 5-cent cotton on.?The Southern Farm. Hog Cholera Symptoms.?The Iowa State board of health gives the following symptoms of hog cholera. The presence of the disease is indicated by a cold shivering lasting from a few seconds to several hours ; frequent sneezing, followed by a loss of appetite ; rough appearance of the hair, drooping of the ears, stupidness, attempts to vomit, tendency to root the bedding, to lie down in dark and quiet places, dullness of the eye, often dim ; sometimes swelling of the head, eruption of the ears and other parts of the body, dizziness, laborious breathing, vitiated appetite for dung, dirt and 1 i-- nAniimnlntSAn Af" mil swiij' suusmuuca, av^uiuuiau^u ui uu cus in the inner corners of the eyes, discharge from the nose, fetid and offensive odor of discharges from the bowels, offensive exhalations; diarrhceul discharges are semi-fluid, of grayish green color, and are often mixed with blood. In many cases the skin on the belly, between the hind legs, behind the ears, and even on the nose, has numerous red spots, which toward the fatal termination turn purple. As the disease progresses the animal becomes sluggish, the head droops with the nose near the ground, but usually will be found lying down with the nose hid in the bedding. If there has been costiveuess, about two days before death there will be offensive, fetid discharge; the voice becomes faint and hoarse ; the animal is stupid ; emaciation increases rapidly ; the skin becomes dry, hard and very unclean ; there is cold, clammy sweat, and death soon follows, with convulsions, or orrfldnnllv bv exhaustion, without a D" ?^ "J / struggle. Iu chronic diseases, or those of long duration, the auimal becomes weak, lies down most of the time, eats hut little, aud has diarrhoea. These cases may linger for weeks, scattering the poison of the disease in the discharge wherever they go. Choked Cow.?When a cow becomes choked she tries to remove the obstruction by swallowing; but by so doing she forces air past the apple, which acts like the valve of a pump, and death ensues from bloating. To prevent this, take a piece of wood a foot long and something like two inches in diameter, fasten a cord to each end of it and put the stick in the cow's mouth. The ends of the cord should then be tied together on the top of the cow's head, and thus the stick will be held in the mouth, as a horse's bit is held. This arrangement prevents the cow from closing her mouth and hence from swallowing, since in order to swallow, her mouth must be closed, or she she cannot press air past the obstruction. Let the stick remain in the cow's mouth's an hour or two, and the apple will be softened and digested as it were in the stomach. As soon as the apple is partially digested its size will be reduced so that it will pass easily down the food passage. After a time, remove the stick and your cow is well. Insects in Peas.?To destroy bugs in seed peas put the peas in water, and the bugs aud injured peas will rise to the surface. Skim them off and destroy them. Pour ofT the water aud spread the peas to dry. Peas that have been attacked by weevil should not be used for seed, not only because such seed may not germinate, but also because more weevil will be produced to attack the crop. Household Hints.?By adding a teaspoouful of pulverized alum to half a package of good stove polish, wet up with a little water, much time and labor will be saved. A stove polished with this mixture will rernaiu bright a long time, and it requires very little lubor to produce a shine. It should be applied when the stove is nearly cold. Bread keeps better in a wooden box than one of tin. <Thc J^toni actlcr. AFTER A MEXICAN BANDIT. An Exciting and Fatal Duel on the lload. I For many years after the American ' occupation of California, the Mexicans continued their guerrilla warfare upon I American settlers, actuated by the < double motives of race hatred and ' robbery. This caused the formation f of committees of vigilance in almost I every section of the country, and the pistol, bowie knife and halter composed the California code. One afternoon, i while I was at the Dominguez ranch, i about 20 miles south of Los Angeles < (which was one of the battle grounds i of the revolution after the conquest), I noticed an American ride by with 1 a Mexican attendant. I thought the i circumstance unusual, considering the ' race hatred then existing. I knew the I mtfn was a stranger to that vicinity, I and I did not like the looks of the i Mexican. I concluded that he was a 1 cattle buyer from the northern part of i the country, engaged in supplying the < mines with meat. It wus the custom ' for travelers to have guides; also guards. Acting upon a presentment, | rather than judgment, I hastily followed, knowing the road to Los Angeles ' was lonely and dangerous, as the coast < range was honeycombed with small 1 bands of robbers and cut-throats. When within about 10 miles of Los Angeles the road lay through a grove of live oak trees, whose shade was so i deuse as to almost shut out the light of day. I approached, expecting what I dreaded. I had wrought my imagination to such a point that when I saw at the base of a large tree on the side of the .road the corpse of a traveler I could not for some time realize whether it was the result of an optical delusion resulting from my imagination, or was really a dead man. I examined the corpse and found that the man had been stabbed in the back. The murderer had takcu all I valuables from the body, the disar- ] ranged clothing showing that the man ' carried his gold ir his belt around his person. There were no papers by which to identify him. I rode rapidly to the pueblo to notify the authorities. There were no horse tracks on the road. The Mexican trtiidfi- who was evidently the ? 7 murderer, had taken to the woods in order to "cover up his tracks," or, rather, not to make any. The town marshal gave it as his opinion that the guide was the notorious robber and assassin. Juan Guiterrez, who operated alone, as a pretended guide to strangers visiting this section. "He is a fast rider, a good, lougrange shot, a reckless daredevil, and all of the Mexicans fear him as they do Satan," added the marshal. A posse of 10 was organized and we stated out in thedirectiou of San Diego, after the somewhat crude ceremonial of burying the murdered man by the < roadside where he fell. We believed s that the murderer would naturally 3 make for the frontier, or the Mexican raucheria of Augua Callentas, where he would be practically safe among his own people. We had no evidence, only circumstantial. In fact, we did not know that ne was tne man. We were mounted on California mustangs, aud the mustangs of those days were capable of enduring the most exacting work. They were trained to hard service. We rode rupidiy all night, and the next morning as we entered the mission town of San Luis Rey our suspicions were aroused bjr seeing a Mexican ride rapidly out of town. We naturally concluded that this was the murderer, or some other crimiual, so we gave pursuit. Seeing that he was pursued he put spurs to his mustang and sped swiftly over the plains. The pursuit continued for about five miles, when he halted at a ranch, and in an instant was off again, having procured a fresh horse. Three _r ?!iloi>o A1 it (tio curna thiniT nn U1 UUI irtai uucio um iuv wumv s arriving at the ranch, much against the wishes of the Mexicau ranchero, but we had no time to stand on ceremony. Myself and the two others of the advance guard now steadily gained upon the fleeing Mexican, and when within distance we begau to fire upon him. At every shot the desperado would turn in his saddle, facing us, howl back, "Carajo !" and return the shot. Finally, one of our party sped ahead and there was a running fight for about five miles, each dodging to the opposite side of his horse as the other fired. Excited men with their horses at full speed are not liable to do-good execution, though both may be dead shots otherwise. Hopewell soon reached the side of the Mexican ; both had exhausted their ammunitiou and were tryiog to brain each other with their revolvers. Their horses were staggering, reeling, foaming at the mouth and covered with foam, trembling from exhaustion and almost ready to fall to the ground. "Surreuder !" shouted Hopewell, as he seized the bridle of Mexican's horse. With glaring eyeballs, and bated breath the Mexican hissed "C'arajo, Gringo!" and, drawing his bowie kuife, made a lunge at Hopewell, but only cut the bridle rein that Hopewell held, and driving his long, sharp-pointed spurs into the horse's flank the Mexican was soon beyond reach. Hopewell urged his horse onward, but the horse soon reeled and fell dead. The Mexican looked back in triumph hissing "Carajo, Gringos!" Myself and companion now continued the chase, the other members of the party being distanced in the race for life. We saw hiin entering a canon and he was soon out of sight. We followed, but could fiud no trail, the Mexican taking to the stream so that his horse would make no tracks. A few miles further and the canou ended abruptly. It was one of those short, transverse canons, jutting out from the coast range. At some points it was about 50 feet wide. When the Mexican saw that he had got to the end of rope, or soon would be, he dismounted and offered to fight us single?as men jf houor, iu duello style, but when he saw the remainder of our party ride up he surrendered and demanded to be taken back to Los Angeles. He was securely bound, aud while two of us were guarding him, the athers, having organized into a court, were trying him. The court sat under a huge tree about 20 yards distant, but I could not hear its deliberations. They knew the facts of the case, or what I had related of finding the dead man in the road. We could understand very little Spanish, the Mexican could not talk English, and, besides, refused to make any statement. Most committees of vigilance are like military courts-martial?organized to convict. The committee brought in a verdict of guilty. When the Mexican was made to understand his doom, he said calmly and with an attempt at bravado, "Muy bueno!" [very well)! He was blindfolded, and I after finishing his cigarette was placed I on a horse and led to the tree. He looked up and saw a rope dangling from a limb, and asked if it "was t;ood," meaning doubtless whether it would perform its work quickly and surely. "Adios, senors !" he exclaimed, and the horse was given a sharp lash. I "With a "Carajo, Gringos!" the Mexican soon breathed his last. ! The missing gold was not found upon his person. He may have left it at the ranch where he changed horses. He may not have been the murderer; no evidence was found to that effect, and it was afterward learned that he was not the assassin Guiterrcz whom the marshal accused. \ Who he was we never knew, nor of what crime he was guilty, if at all. ^ -i 1 L!
