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

tion like a blinding flash that tb
brakes had given way.
" 'God in heaven, jump!' wi

Four horses at once leaped into

Instead of abandoning the coach
its fata So far as I can recall, th?
cvas no sound ut toted ofter tho she
af the driver. 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.
"Yes, " continued Lasker, with a
merry twinkle in his eye, "I gavo

Bat and Ferret.
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. The rat squealed

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 aro obsolete today aro to "savo

how to prevent a pump handle from

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. Low
blackberry tea is prescribed for calo
mel soro mouth. Ono suggestion
may bo of value to the modern moth

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. " Altogether tho "Frugal
Housewife" is an illuminating bit of
retrospectivo literature.-New York

Dad Clarke*? Order.
Ball players thrive on good food
when they aro traveling. Sume of
them go through the hill of faro at
the big hotels like hungry tramps
at a cottage door. Sovoral years
ago the New Yorks were in Louis
ville. Dad Clarke and Eddie Burke
were sitting at the table together,
and Eddio said to Dad:
"You give tho order."
Dad picked up the "programmo"
and was confronted with a long list
of French dishes which Dad would
not have attempted to pronounce
for big money.
"Come here," yelled Dad to tho
waiter, "and don't bo swelling up
in that dress suit!" Then Dad put
his forefinger on tho bill of fare and
let it slide slowly down past the
various names.
"Gimme some o' that.
"Bring me a lot o' that.
"I want plenty o' that.
"Lug along a dish o' this.
"Gimme a pilo o' that stuff and
have it good. See?"
"WeeI Wee!" said the waiter,
who turned inquiringly to Burke.
Eddio waved him off with tho im
perious request:
"Bring mo the same."-Now York
