connection, end wae very anxious to go
in the shortest possible time by a special
train. It waa a cold, rough afternoon, e
bed day for railroading no the prairiee
in any event, hut particularly so for a
‘special' that had to ‘ make time,’ with
the fierce winds beating and howling
over them, ae I believe they never do
anywhere else where railroad tracks are
laid, except off Lake Michigan. But I
had my imperative orders to pot the
train through with this om fastest en
gine, so that Mias Onahman might be in,
season to fill her engagement that night
in Chicago.
“ The train bad arrived at Logansport
Len minutes behind time, and we started
out with the least delay possible. I bad
carefully inspected my engine, and for
my fireman I selected the very best man
to ‘ make steam’ that oottld be found in
the railroad corps el that city. Bat, in
■pita of these precautions, about 4 o’clock
in the gray November afternoon we came
to a dead halt out on the open praine. I
jumped down from my cab, with oil-can
in hand, but the mighty gusts of wind
that swept against me made me glad to
crawl back into the shelter of my cab.
“ Presently one of the brakemen, with
his cap tied on his head with a stoat
scarf, came forward to tell me that Miaa
Cushman desired to see the engineer in
the passenger car. I sent back word
that I could not leave my engine—that
I would do the best I could with our
train, and that nothing could be said or
suggested, even by the distinguished
passenger, which would make the least
gain in our headway.
“ The brakeman took himself off, and
I was not at all pie*-"'* T confess,
when Jake, my fireman, who was at the
moment looking out of the cab window,
down the track in oar rear, shouted,
above the gale:

that it wa* nothing better than black

The Dutch were wiser men. They ex

they gave three and tori pounds of tea
for each pound of sage, until the Dutch
were unable to provide the material in

demand for tea. For a long time En
glishmen drank sage tea in preference to
the genuine article ; and to this day the
use of sage and other herb teas ia still

wisdom for the elevation of mankind.

Has not the time some for the Govern

to taka some action to diminish the risks
of ocean navigation ? Every municipal
government patrols its streets, and there
ia no good reaaon why the great ocean
highway should not be petroled. 1 Were
England and the ttnited States each to
provide two steamers the route between
New York and Liverpool oould be
thoroughly patrolled. These Govern
ment steamers oould remove sunken
wrecks, warn passenger steamers of the
locality of icebergs, and afford relief to
shipwrecked vessels. A steamer with
her machinery broken down would be

steamer, and would not, aa ia now too

The coet of patroDing the ocean high

A half dosen prospectors camped one
winter's night in the Sierra Nevada, El
dorado county, California. The ground
covered with snow, and when about
midnight a grizzly bear approached the
crunching of his feet aroused the whole
camp. The bear trotted up to within a
few feet uf the fire and seized the near
est thing that oould be reached—a bag
containing a few such articles aa bread
and sugar and a demijohn of the hottest
whisky manufactured on tha Pacific
coast The prospectors fired several
shots at the grizzly, which caused him
to seize the bag and scamper off. Re
lieved of the unwelcome visitor’* pres
ence, the party dropped off to sleep
again, to be aroused about dawn by loud
and long roar* in a neighboring ravine.
The men approached the ravine cau
tiously, and were delighted to seethe
grizzly uproariously drunk and rolling
in the snow. The bear had broken the
demijohn and lapped up the whisky with
an appreciative tongue. His antics wera
very funny, “ as good as a circus” one
of the prospectors says, and they were
kept up until long after sunrise. He
tried hard to climb up the side of the
ravine, and made ferocious dashes at the
men, but every time he rolled down. At
last the spectators shot him and moved
on.
