"Frank L.- . .." _ A THRILLING EIDE. jt was in tho smoking room of a h -cl that four commercial travelers -ently art iu a cirole an(l ex* 'banged stories. Ono of them was ? swarthy, keen oyed westerner of lomo iO years of age. A story had ??st hoon finished when the dark haired man knocked the ashes off hie cigar and remarked, "I guess it's Bvturn next, boys." "Yes, go abend, Jack, " said his tbree companions. .Well, 'commenced Jack, tilting himself hack in his chair, with a thoughtful expression, "in 1880 I was i" Denver and had to visit Leadville on business. In those days there were two ways of reaching the latter place-ono was to take the railroad to Buena Vista and the stage up tho Arkansas river, the other was the stage from Denver across tho mountains. I had always cone to Leadville hy the river route, and ou this occasion, for the sake of variety, I resolved to take the all stace road. -We started at daylight in a 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 (iromedary. "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 tho horses from the coach. It was to bo used to save the horses in caso the vehicle toppled over a precipice. "There were three seats insido, 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 ns one. There were two seats on top of the coach besides the driv ers, all of which were tilled, mak ing a total of 18 persons, including tho 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 Eost important feature of the out fit, was a mere boy in appear anea Hewa8 rather slender, very blond as to hair and smoothly shaved save as to a mustache, milky in its white ness. He wore an immense som brero, and his hair was so long that the ends lay on his shoulder. "1 studied him with curiosity and mingled anxiety. He seemed to me tobe very young for the responsible duty of holding th? ribbons over four horses on a route that is re- ! gardedas one of the most difficult j and dangerous in the Rockies. | "I ascertained that this was his ' Kcond trip on this line, and that be- j fore coming here he had been driv ing in the San Luis valley. This ; 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 average driver, and hence the pas sengers did not cotton to him. We tried to establish social relations j. J with him, but he would only reply j 1 * surly monosyllables. He spoke ! ! ?dy once, to the extent of one orJ? two words. We were passing a tanty on a bit of tableland, beside which stood a dog regarding ns with a friendly glance and exhibit ing bis satisfaction by wagging his Pl Suddenly from the seat behind mea voice was heard: * 'Say, driver, will your horses .cares' "The driver as well aa the rest ?ooked around and saw a yoong man holding out a revolver pointed in too direction of the dog. J " 'Put up that gnn, yon fooll' ' ? ??red the blond driver. 'What do i I** want to fire at the dog for? i What tini^. u__ ?-_ ?o?? j Cuit' j j "The young man, very much ] abashed, muttered something about wanting to have a little fan w ?care tho brate, and sheepishly ^turned tho pistol to his pocket tte little incident had the effect to ^e. the driver in my estimation, the favorable impression was Jrther heightened when the Eng oman offered him a drink froan ? , 1 ^k of whisky, which herofused in 1 .gruff manner. < 'The second morning we reached 1 "?e summit of the pass. The road ' steep, difficult and in places 1 ^dangerous. Tho driver. how- i ^er, seemed always cool and began i 10 exact the confidence of all the i Pangora. .ii ''It was not quite light when wo 1 Joched tho divide and began thc ' r^eent on tho farther side. The 1 J?58 was scarcely a pass in any J ^er sense of the term. It waa 1 muipiy a oroKen, ragged noiiow whioh cut through tho ridge at an elevation of many thousands of feet abovo tho levol of tho sea. Tho shadows of night wero just sinking from tho mountain tops and the scene was one of grandeur. "Abovo us,to tho left rose a single peak clad in snow, and which, catch ing the earlier raya from the eastern horizon, stood in tho clear atmos phere clean cut, inassivo and glit tering with a resplendent opales cence. Just below us extended a cloud formed ocean, still clark and with tho shadows of night, which was as level as a floor, and which ex tended to tho distant horizon. The high peak, with its brightness, seemed a huge dome of light, as if a giant to illuminate tho cloudland below. As we descended we entered tho ocean of clouds, which receded a little way from us, making it seem as if wo were dropping down into an enormous well. Through tho walls of this cloud shaft we could seo distorted objects. Pines assumed fantastic shapes and great fragments of fallen rocks became hideous mon sters. The composition of this ocean was something wonderful. It was of two colors, a fleecy white and a blue. These two colors were not intermingled except in large masses. There was clearly a defined stratum of one and then the other overlying it. They were like facia? of the blue and white, all exhibiting a superb striation. "Suddenly we passed through the cloud masses, which left open the view below. The hollow into which we began to descend had sunk rapid ly tc a fathomless ravine, and we were seen to be crawling along a narrow shelf blastod out from tho eiile of thc mountains and which was but a few inches wider than the space required for the wheels of the coach. We were between what seemed to be two parallel moun tains. I glanced up. It was like looking -nit of a deep slit in the earth, A looked down to the right and withdrew my eyes with a dizzy feeling of horror. It was on the very edge of the precipice that we were moving, and so close was its outer edge that it seemed that with my extended hand I could have dropped a pebble directly into the abyss. In the momentary glance 1 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 the brakes on the wheels. Even though the latter were so fas tened that the hind wheels no longei revolved, they were not sufficient tc control the speed of the coach, anc the wheel horses, almost on theil haunches, were tugging at their pol? straps tih they were apparently about to be carried from their feet I glanced along the road in our fron with the hope that there might bi some visible termination of the ap palling situation. "At this moment we entered on i comparatively straight line of road which appeared to run till it wai out off a long distance down by ? spur of tbs mountain, which ox tended across tc the track and a which the road seemed to end. W< were descending at an angle of no less than 30 degrees, and at eacl step it looked as if the horses wouli be carried off their feet by the tre mondona pressure of the coach. Th wheels at one moment would sin! into the soft wash from the moun tain side and the next strike a dc tached fragment of rook, sendini the vehicle now to the walls on tb left, then over to the right, till th abyss yawned beneath like the ra\ enou? jaws of hell. "We had descended a short dis lance down this straight piece c road, when in the midst of a lure from which there seemed no poss ble recovery there rang out a shar crack, like a mu Bk et shot Thei was a sudden cessation of the g ri nc Lng noise on the breaks, the heav coach plunged forward like an av* lanche, there was a fierce contusioi a clatter of whiffletrees as the coac appeared aboat. to ?ol? over tl horse?, and then came the convi tion like a blinding flash that tb brakes had given way. " 'God in heaven, jump!' wi shrieked by some one behind m rh en I rose to my feet aa I waite For the driver to detach the plunj ing mass of horses from the coac and stood ready to spring.

Within and withe the coach a paralysis possessed i rho only sound was the rici pounding of the iron hoofs on 1 rock faced road, the roar of t wheels and the frantic crea kine tho loather springo*! couch ns it rocked liku a tempest tossed vessel. "On neither sido did anything toko definite shape Wo moved, ns .t were, between two great walls, of darkness, somewhat as in n swift railway train when passing through a narrow gorge. There was no difference between the wall of rock on one side and the abyss on tho other. 1 continued standing, clinging to tho stanchions with a deadly clnsp, possessed by a vogue impression that a jump must be made at some approaching crisis. 1 have nn indistinct impression that the woninn in the driver's sent had both her arms about the waist of tho Englishman and that he stood with his fnce to the wall to the left and clung to the miling of the seat like a drowning man to a storm tossed spar. "I recall that wo seemed scaroely 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 mot by a wave. "The air pushed agaiust my face as if it wore 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 wns the fato which menaced us. It was a black wall against which we would break and then-annihilation. "1 have no idea of the time. It might have beon a minute; it might have been 20 for aught that I com prehended during our descent I only recall that wo went rocking, thundering down the steep grade and then-unconsciousness." Here the dark man stopped his narration, as if there were no moro 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, and 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. Tho driver was sitting in hiB seat, his el bows on his knees, his chin resting on his hands and himself as impas sive as if cut in murblo. " "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 we 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 vhich 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 hurtt" "Not a bair of oso 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 bim as much more. That's all. I'm off. Good night I"-Washington Star. Moller and Macaulay. Professor Max Muller tells a char acteristic story of Lord Macaulay in his "Literary Recollections" in COB mopoiis. The advisability of pro aid 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 hood of arguments against bis posi tion which poured from the histo rian's lips. When the harangue was ended, he was dismissed with thanks for the valuable information be had imparted. Aa Unfair Advantage. Dr. Lasher, the great chess player, when in London is in the habit of occasionally visiting a certain res taurant in . the city well known to many chess devotees. On one of these occasions, just prior to his de parture for St Petersburg to play Dr. Steinitz for the championship, a Cassy old gentleman offered to play him for a box of cigars if he would concede him the odds of a queen. The offer was good naturedly ac cepted, and on Lasker's winning he became the recipient of a box of doubtful looking cigars, which, Luwovtu, Luu ?uiioT averred were ox good quality. On visiting the same restaurant after easily defeating Steinitz Las* ker happened to meet his late oppo nent, who asked him what he had thought of the cigars. "First rate," replied the cham pion; "in fact, I might almost say they won me the match. " "Indeedl I ara delighted to hear lt," returned the old gentleman, much pleased.

A big rat that mado its home un der the carn?vora houso in Central park was caught in a large wiro trap. To kill the rat a ferret was turned into tho cage. Tho battle that onsued stirred all the sporting blood in the veins of thoso who watched it. The rat was 8 inches long and in tho pink of condition. The ferret was fat and beefy. Tho 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 clinohed and struggling vigorously. The ferrot scored first blood, biting the rat bo 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. Tho ferret became desperate and rushed his enemy all over the ring. A clinch followed with tho 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.

RAILROAD BURDENS. Not thu Stocks Xor tho Hoads, hat tho Car WVlKhtn. Au ordinary passenger oar on a steam railroad costs from $ 1,000 to $5,000 and weighs 38,000 pounds, or 19 tons. A mail car, which et;sts from $2,000 to $?.?,500 and is shorter by about one-quarter than tho ordi nary passenger coach, weighs 32,000 pounds, or Iii tons, A baggage ear without tho 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 tho others, and it weighs a good deal moro too. A plain, simple i but durablo Bleeping car costs tiny, j wbero from $0,000 to $10,000, and I anornato.elahorate, luxurious sleep ing car with observation attach ments, literary annex and culinary department costs anywhoro 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, ns a little figuring will show, is no light affair. The ordinary weight of tho railroad locomotive for xmssenger servico, inclusivo of tender, but not of fuel in the tender, is 40 tons. Ono bag gage car weighs 14 tons, and ono mail car 16 tons, bringing up tho weight of tho locomotivo and tho baggage and mail cars to 70 tons. Six passengor cars at an average of 19 touB each weigh 114 tons, BO that the total weight of a train made up of a locomotive and eight cars would bo 184 tons, or 308,000 pounds, ex clusivo of tho weight of baggage, of tho fuel carried, passengers and mail matter. Pulling 184 tons along rails at the rate of 50 miles nn hour or moro is an achievement which has not been easily brought about, and the more tho problem is studied tho moro clearly it is understood how far tho mechanical work on railroads bas been pushed. There were, by tho 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 comparod with tho number of freight cars on American railroads, and thon they seem insig nificant, for the number of freight cars iu use is 1,250,000. Freight cars, among railroadmen, aro divided into four classes-flat 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 uro used for cattle, and coal cars, such os 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 und caboose added, make 420 tons as the weight of a train. It muy be said roughly that the weight of loaded trains, passenger, coal or freight, ranges from 200 to 650 tons Tho lighter the train the greater the speed. That's the railroad rule.-New York Sun. _ Why He Waa Courageous. "I think," she said hesitatingly and with downcast eyes, "that you'd better speak to papa." "Sure," he replied promptly.

HOUSEHOLD ECONOMICS. Blethod? That Obtained In the Karly l'art of tin? Century. An old cookbook, px vu tod in the year 1835 and hearing tfco title "Tho American Frugal Housewife," with a dedication "to those wu? aro not ashamed of economy," is tull of in teresting reading ns a comparativo study in household economics. Many I things woro necessary to tho house keeper of 50 years ago that aro un known nc wadi ya or have complete ly outlived .heir usefulness, lt is Greek almost to the modern woman to bo told that "tho coverings of oil Husks, 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 ten, then press on tho wrong sido, and it will look liko a now leghorn. " Other cautions that aro obsolete today aro to "savo vials and bottles," "preservo tho j backs of old letters to write upon," ; elaborate directions for making over mattresses and pillows at home?, how to prevent a pump handle from freezing set in cold weather and tcoros of similar directions. Tho compiler advises, for example, that it is wiso to have always tho tinder box and lantern ready on going to bed, in caso of sudden alarm, and, af tor much considering, decides that "in tho city it is better to exchango ashcB and greaso for soap, but in tho country it is by tar tho best econ omy to make ono's own soap," and pa?es of minute directions follow. So on with scores of similar direc tions concerning a lifo that has ceased to bo. Tho ohnpter devoted to simple remedies would causo tho hair of tho modern practitioner, steeped in tho germ theory of disease, to riso up right. To prevent lockjaw, lyo, a rind of pork, strong Hoft soap, spir its of turpentine and pulverized chalk aro iecommended. For throat distemper, the old name for diph theria, a poultico of roasted apple mixed with an ounce of tobacco, tho whole wet with spirits of wino and spread on a linen rag, to bo bound about the throat, is a ;,nnacea. To stop the blood from a wound apply scrapings of sole leather. A spoon ful of ashes stirred in cider is sug gested to relievo nausea in cholera morbus. A salvo to reduce inflamma tion in wounds is mudo from lard melted and cooled five times in suc cession, then simmorcd with sliced onions and onco moro cooled.

To administer a doso of castor oil to children so that they will never H usp cot its pres on co-will even love tho decootion-it should be boiled with an equal quantity of sweetened milk, and, when cold, given as a drink. The actual food recipes of the book are held in a dozen pages, but there is much space devoted to herb lore, tho prepara tions for keeping meats, tho mak ing of dyestuffs, homemade wines, boers 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.
