IN LOVE'S TENDER KEEPING. Hold me a little away from tho world. Dear arms, with your tenderest clinging. The hird with its breast to tho blue singeth sweet, But the stars never answer its singing. The cold lights but lure ns to lead us astray, The thorn's in the red of the rose di the May. Lead me to love, dear, and teach me to pray. Hold me a little away from tho world, Dear arms, with, your firm clasp and tendw, For the lights on the heights stream through desolate nights, A tempest of tears in the splendor. Tis the gleam and tho dream that would lead us astray. The keen thorns have crimsoned the roses of May. Lead me to love, dear, and teach me to pray. -Frank L. Stanton in Ladies' Home Journal A THRILLING RIDE. It was in the smoking room of a hotel that four commercial travelers recently sat in a circle and ex changed stories. One of them was a swarthy, keen eyed westerner of some 40 years of age. A story had just been finished when the dark haired man knocked the ashes off his cigar and remarked, "I guess it's my tran next, boys. " "Yes, go ahead, Jack," said his three companions. ""Well, " commenced Jack, tilting himself back in his chair, with a thoughtful expression, "in 1880 I was in Denver and had to visit Leadville on business. In those days there were two ways of reaching the latter place-one was to take the railroad to Buena Vista and the stage up the Arkansas river, the other was the stage from Denver across the mountains. I had always gone to Leadville by the river route, and on this occasion, for the sake of variety, I resolved to take the all stage road. "We started at daylight ina coach of the old Concord pattern that was almost as large as a Noah's ark. The vehicle was swung on leathern hinges so arranged that it was capa ble of every conceivable form of motion. It would lurch, pitch, roll like a ship in the trough of the sea. It would rear, kick and buck like a mustang and had the solid jolt of a dromedary. "like all the other coaches used for carrying passengers over the mountains, it had a mechanical at tachment within easy reach of the driver by which he could in an in. stant detach the horses from the coach. It was to be used to save the horses in case the vehicle toppled over a precipica "There were three seats inside, each of which had three people, who were so closely packed together that in case of an overturn there was no extrication, but all must go over as one. There were two seats on top of the coach besides the driv er's, all of which were filled, mak ing a total of 18 persons, including the man who held the reins over the four horse team. In the front seat was an Englishman and a young woman, he an agent of some Eng lish capitalists sent to inspect some mines, and she an actress, as I after ward learned, going to Leadville to join some theatrical starring com . pany. "The driver, who is always the most important feature of the out fit, was a mere boy in appearance He was rather slender, very blond as to hair and smoothly shaved save as to a mustache, milky in its white- j ness. He wore an immense som- { brero, and his hair was so long that j the ends lay on his shoulder. "I studied him with curiosity and j mingled anxiety. He seemed to me to be very young for the responsible duty of holding the ribbons over four horses on a route that is re- i gardedas one of the most difficult and dangerous in the Rockies. "I ascertained that this was his. second trip on this line, and that be- j fore coming here he had been driv- ; ing in the San Luis valley. Thia : was not in his favor, as the valley is ? almost a dead level and affords no ? training for mountain driving. "He was very reticent, unlike the I average driver, and hence the pas- j sengers did not cotton to him. We ' tried to establish social relations j with him, but he would only reply ? in surly monosyllables. He spoke 1 only once, to the extent of one or ; two words. We were passing a i shanty on a bit of tableland, beside which stood a dog regarding us with a friendly glance and exhibit- i ing his satisfaction by wagging his tail Suddenly from the seat behind j me a voice was heard: '* 'Say, driver, will your horses fcarei' "The driver as well as the rest looked around and eaw a young man holding out a revolver pointed in the direction of the dog. " 'Put up that gun, you fool!' roared the blond driver. 'What do you want to fire at the dog for? What harm has he done you?' "The young man, very much ? abashed, muttered something about : only wanting to have a little fun and scare the brute, and sheepishly returned the pistol to his pocket. The little incident had the effect to raise the driver in my estimation, and the favorable impression was further heightened when the Eng lishman offered him a drink from t? flask of whisky, which he refused in a gruff manner. "The second morning we reached the summit of tho pans. The road was steep, difficult and in places very dangerous Thc driver, how ever, seemed always cool and began to exact the confidence of all the passengers. "It was not quite light when wo reached tho divide and began thc descent on thc farther side. The pass was scarcely a pass in any ?nrnper sense of the term. It was simply a broken, ragge"cl none which cut through the ridge at ? elevation of many thousands of fe above the level of the sea. Tl shadows of night were just sinkii from the mountain tops and tl scene was one of grandeur. "Above us to the left rose a sing I peak clad in snow, and which, cata j ing the earlier rays from the eastei ' horizon, stood in the clear atmo phere clean cut, massive and gli tering with a resplendent opale cence. Just below us extended cloud formed ocean, still dark ar with the shadows of night, whic was as level as a floor, and which e: tended to the distant horizon. Tl high peak, with its brightnes: seemed a huge dome of light, as if giant to illuminate the cloudlan below. As we descended we entere the ocean of clouds, which recede a little way from us, making it seei as if we were dropping down int an enormous welL Through th walls of this cloud shaft we coul see distorted objects. Pines assume fantastic shapes and great fragment of fallen rocks became hideous mor eters. The composition of this ocea: was something wonderful. It wa of two colors, a fleecy white and blue. These two colors were no intermingled except in large masses There was clearly a defined stratur of one and then the other overlyinj it They were like facias of th blue and white, all exhibiting ? superb striation. "Suddenly we passed through tb cloud masses, which left open th' view below. The hollow into whicl we began to descend had sunk rapid ly to a fathomless ravine, and wi were seen to be crawling along j narrow shelf blasted out from thi side of the mountains and whicl was but a few inches wider than tin space required for the wheels of th< coach. We were between wha seemed to be two parallel moun tains. I glanced up. It was like looking out of a deep slit in th< earth. I looked down to the righi and withdrew my eyes with a dizzj feeling of horror. It was on thc very edge of the precipice that wc were moving, and so close was it? outer edge that it seemed that witt my extended hand I could hav>E dropped a pebble directly into thc abyss. In the momentary glance J had caught sight of a border of pines so far down that they seemed like hothouse plants strewn along the walls of the chasm. Not a sound was heard, save the querulous creak ing of the leathern hinges and springs of the coach and the dull grating of th? brakes on the wheels. Even though the latter were so fas tened that the hind wheels no longer revolved, they were not sufficient to control the speed of the coach, and the wheel horses, almost on their haunches, were tugging at their pole straps till they were apparently about to be carried from their feet I glanced along the road in our front with the hope that there might bo some visible termination of the ap palling situation. "At this moment we entered on a comparatively straight line of road, which appeared to run till it was cut off a long distance down by a spur of the mountain, which ex tended across to the track and at which the road seemed to end. We were descending at an angle of not less than 30 degrees, and at each step it looked as if the horses would be carried off their feet by the tre mendous pressure of the coach. The wheels at one moment would sink into the soft wash from the moun tain side and the next strike a de tached fragment of rook, sending the vehicle now to the walls on the left, then over to the right, till the abyss yawned beneath like the rav enous jaws of hell. "We had descended a short dis tance down this straight piece of road, when in the midst of a lurch from which there seemed no possi ble recovery there rang out a sharp crack, like a musket shot. There was a sudden cessation of the grind ing noise on the breaks, the heavy coach plunged forward like an ava lanche, there was a fierce confusion, a clatter of whiffletrees as the coach appeared about. to roll over the horses, and then came the convic tion like a blinding flash that the brakes had given way. " 'God in heaven, jump!' was shrieked by some one behind me. Then I rose to my feet as 1 waited for the driver to detach the plung ing mass of horses from the coach and stood ready to spring. For the millionth part of a second my atten tion was distracted by the cries from the passengers within the coach, who were howling and shrieking like madmen, and then 1 was re called to my own clanger as 1 clung with difficulty to the seat and braced myself for a leap the moment op portunity offered. "Just then the driver rose to his ; feet His long whip described a swift circle and fell across the backs of the leaders. They sprang for ward like a shot from a cannon, ; dragging the wheel horses with tho ; coach. As the lash struck tho load- i ers tho driver tightened tho reins 1 and gave a yell of encouragement to ; his team, and then, leaning far ' back, guided them with taut lines directly down tho narrow road. Tho : four horses at once leaped into a : wild run, and then I comprehended that he intended to keop in the road instead of abandoning the coach to j its fate. ?So far as 1 can recul 1, there j was no sound uttered after the shout : cf the driver. Within and without ; tho coach a paralysis possessed all. ! The only sound was the iicree pounding of the iron hoofs on the | rock faced road, the roar of thu wheels and tho frantic crea kine of tho leather springe?? coach as it rocked like a tempest tossed vessel. "On neither side did anything take definite shape. Wo moved, as >t were, between two great walls of darkness, somewhat as in a I swift railway train when passing j through a narrow gorge. There was no difference between the wall of rock on one side and the abyss on the other. 1 continued standing, clinging to tho stanchions with a deadly clasp, possessed by a vague impression that a jump must be made at some approaching crisis. 1 have an indistinct impression that the woman in the driver's seat had both her arms about the waist of the Englishman and that he stood with his face to the wall to the left and clung to the railing of the seat like a drowning man to a storm tossed spar. "I recall that we seemed scarcely to touch the ground ; that we flew ; that our movement was one of vast leaps, in which we struck the ground with a resounding clash, like a ves sel in a storm when its bow is met by a wave. "The air pushed against my face as if it were some demoni acal energy trying to wrench me from the coach. All the time, in my hazy consciousness, lying appar ently across the road was impend ing death. I felt it was the fate which menaced us. It was a black wall against which we would break and then-annihilation. "I have no idea of the time. It might have been a minute; it might have been 20 for aught that I com prehended during our descent. I only recall that we went rocking, thundering down the steep grade and then-unconsciousness. " Here the dark man stopped his narration, as if there were no more to say. "You were not killed evidently, " said one of the listeners. "What else happened?" "Nothing much. When I came to myself, we were in front of a ranch used for a station. The coach had stopped, arid several men were run ning toward \us from the stables. The four white horses stood with drooping heads in front of the coach and were hardly visible through the dense cloud of steam which rose from their heaving bodies. The driver was sitting in his seat, his el bows on his knees, his chin resting on his hands and himself as impas sive as if cut in marble. " "How about the rock you were going to smash up against? That's what I'd like to know. " "That's what I'd like to know myself,," replied the dark man. "I believe, however, that just where wo rounded the rock there was a deep impression in the road on the side next to the wall, and it was the dip of the wheels in this hollow which prevented the coach swinging outward, so that as it righted we had passed in the open place just a few feet from the gulch. It was the tremendous shock as the wheels plunged into the depression and the thought we had struck the rock and I was killed which made me insen sible. " "Anybody hurt?" "Not a hair of one of our heads. The driver landed us in as good con dition as we are this minute in this room. We made up a purse for him of $100, and the company gave him as much more. That's alL I'm off. Good night J"-Washington Star. Moller and Macaulay. Professor Max Muller tells a char acteristic story of Lord Macaulay in his ''literary Recollections" in Cos mop?lis. The advisability cf provid ing for the instruction in Sanskrit of English youths destined for serv ice in india was a debated question, and Macaulay sent for Professor Muller, who was an advocate of such instruction, in order to hear what he had to say in its support. The in terview lasted an hour, during which the professor found it impossible to get in a word edgewise against the flood of arguments against his posi tion which poured from the histo rian's lips. When the harangue was ended, he was dismissed with thanks for the valuable information he had imparted. An Unfair Advantage.

A big rat that made its home un der the carn?vora house in Central park was caught in a large wire trap. To kill the rat a ferret was turned into the cage. The battle that ensued stirred all the sporting blood in the veins of thoso who watched it The rat was 8 inches long and in the pink of condition. The ferret was fat and beefy. The antagonists eyed each other warily. Then the rat attacked the ferret. His teeth were cleverly evaded, and he was chased into his corner. Some close infighting followed, the animals being clinched and struggling vigorously. The ferret scored first blood, biting the rat be tween the eyes. But the ferret's fat had begun to tell, and his wind was almost gone. The rat did not give him a chance to rest and soon had the blood streaming from a wound in his side. The ferret became desperate and rushed his enemy all over the ring. A clinch followed with the animals rolling all over each other, fighting for death. The ferret suddenly saw an opening and sank his long inci sors in his antagonist's throat, shak ing him in fury. The rat squealed in agony and fell dead as the ferret threw him across the trap and lay down panting and weak from loss of blood.-New York World. His Plan.

"Yer see," continued the man, "I had one of yer almanicks last year and every time the almanick said one thing I knew it would be tho other way, so I raised a powerful good crop. What I calculate on is to distribute tho almanicks through the country so the people will raise their crops by them, and I'll put in a whopper of a crop and go ag'in the almanick. Then them folks will fail in their crops and I'll have a good crop and sell it at my own price. " The agent came near collapsing then, but sold the almanacs and heard the farmer say: "Much obleeged.

RAILROAD BURDENS. ! Not the Stocks Nor the Jiomlg, hut tue Car Weights. Ail ordinary passenger car on a steam railroad costs from ?4,000 to $5,000 and weighs 38,000 pounds, or 19 tons. A mail car, which costs from ?2,000 to ?2,500 and is shorter by about one-quarter than tho ordi nary passenger coach, weighs 32,000 pounds, or 16 tons. A baggage car without the baggage in it weighs 28,000 pounds, or 14 tons, and costs about as much as a mail car. A sleeping car is more expensive than any of the others, and it weighs a good deal more too. A plain, simple but durable sleeping car costs any where from ?6,000 to ?10,000, and an ornate,elaborate, luxurious sleep ing car with observation attach ments, literary annex and culinary department costs anywhere from $10,000 to $20,000. The average weight of a sleeping car is from 40, 000 to 44,000 pounds, or from 20 to 22 tons. A full train in motion, as a little figuring will show, is no light affair. The ordinary weight of the railroad locomotive for passenger service, inclusive of tender, but not of fuel in the tender, is 40 tons. One bag gage car weighs 14 tons, and one mail car 16 tons, bringing up tho weight of the locomotive and the baggage and mail cars to 70 tons. Six passenger cars at an average of 19 tons each weigh 114 tons, so that the total weight of a train made up of a locomotive and eight cars would be 184 tons, or 368,000 pounds, ex^ olusive of the weight of baggage, of the fuel carried, passengers and mail matter. Pulling 184 tons along rails at the rate of 50 miles an hour or more is an achievement which has not been easily brought about, and the more the problem is studied tho more clearly it is understood how far the mechanical work on railroads has been pushed. There were, by the last figures reported, 36,000 locomo tives in use on American railroads, 26,000 passenger cars and 8,000 mail and baggage cars. These figures seem large until compared with the number of freight cars on American railroads, and then they seem insig nificant, for the number of freight cars in use is 1,250,000. Freight cars, among railroad men, are divided into four classes-fiat cars, such as are used for the trans portation of stone, machinery and lumber; box cars, such as aro used for the transportation of grain, fruit and ordinary merchandise; stock cars, such as are used for cattle, and coal cars, such as are used for the transportation of coal and oil-those used for oil being supplied with tanks. The average weight of a flat or gondola car is seven tons. The car costs from $300 to $400. Box cars weigh a ton more and cost $100 more each. Stock cars weigh eight tons each on the average. Coal cars weigh three tons each. It costs about $200 to build coal or oil cars, and they are designed to carry five tons apiece. The weight of 50 coal cars is 150 tons, and of their contents, if all filled, 250 tons, which, with locomotive and caboose added, make 420 tons as the weight of a train. It may be said roughly that the weight of loaded trains, passenger, coal or freight, ranges from 200 to 550 tons. The lighter the train the greater the speed. That's the railroad rule.-New York Sun. _ Why He Was Courageous. "I think," she said hesitatingly and with downcast eyes, "that you'd better speak to papa. " "Sure," he replied promptly. "That's dead easy. The only thing that troubled me was the interview with you." "You're not afraid of papa?" she said inquiringly, opening her eyes in astonishment. "Afraid!" he exclaimed. "Why should I he?" "Really, I don't know," she an swered, "but it's usual, you know." "Oh, I suppose sol" he answered in the offhand way of the man of the world. "With inexperienced men there would be nothing surpris ing in it, but I have taken the pre caution to loan him money, which is still unpaid."

HOUSEHOLD ECONOMICS. Methods That Obtained in thc Early Part of til? Century. An old cookbook, printed in the year 1S35 and bearing tfce title "The American Frugal Housewife," with a dedication "to those xvbr> are not ashamed of economy," is full of in teresting reading as a comparative study in household economics. Many things wero necessary to the house keeper of 50 years ago that are un known nowadays or have complete ly outlived their usefulness. It is Greek almost to the modern woman to be told that "the coverings of oil flasks, neatly sewed together with strong thread, make useful table mats," or "when a white navarino bonnet gets soiled, rip it in pieces and wash it with soft water and, while damp, sponge it with strong, strained saffron tea, then press on the wrong side, and it will look like a new leghorn." Other cautions that are obsolete today are to "save vials and bottles," "preserve the backs of old letters to write upon, " elaborate directions for making over mattresses and pillows at home, how to pi event a pump handle from freezing set in cold weather and scores of similar directions. The compiler advises, for example, that it is wise to have always the tinder box and lantern ready on going to bed, in case of sudden alarm, and, after much considering, decides that "in the city it is better to exchange ashes and grease for soap, but in the country it is by far the best econ omy to make one's own soap, " and pages of minute directions follow. So on with scores of similar direc tions concerning a life that has ceased to be. The chapter devoted to simple remedies would cause the hair of the modern practitioner, steeped in the germ theory of disease, to rise up right. To prevent lockjaw, lye, a rind pf pork, strong soft soap, spir its of turpentine and pulverized chalk are recommended. For throat distemper, the old name for diph theria, a poultice of roasted apple mixed with an ounce of tobacco, the whole wet with spirits of wine and spread on a linen rag, to be bound about the throat, is a panacea. To stop the blood from a wound apply scrapings of sole leather. A spoon ful of ashes stirred in cider is sug gested to relieve nausea in cholera morbus. A salve to reduce inflamma tion in wounds is made from lard melted and cooled five times in suc cession, then simmered with sliced onions and once more cooled. Low blackberry tea is prescribed for calo mel sore mouth. One suggestion may be of value to the modern moth er. To administer a dose of castor oil to children so that they will never suspeot its presence-will even love the decoction-it should be boiled with an equal quantity o? sweetened milk, and, when cold, given as a drink. The actual food recipes of the book are held ina dozen pages, but there is much space devoted to herb lore, the prepara tions for keeping meats, the mak ing of dyestuffs, homemade wines, beers and the like. Preserves are dismissed in a page with the laconic introduction: "Economical people will seldom use preserves except for sickness They are unhealthy, expensive and useless to those who are well. " Altogether the "Frugal Housewife" is an illuminating bit of retrospective literature. -New York Post. Dad Clarke's Order.
