AN OLD STAGE LINE.
It Ran From Kriiec* to California In
Thirty-fivo Daye.
“Atchison to California In thirty-live
days; faro, only $2u0 In gold.”
This was the heading of an old hand
bill, yellow with age, which n traveler
laid upon the counter In n railway tick
et office the other day. It was an ad
vertisement of a line of stagocoacho.
that ran from Atchison, Kan., to San
Francisco during the gold excitement
of years ago.
“People seldom stop to think what
their poor ancestors had to put up with
In the old days,’’ the man raid. Tie
was comparing the old time table with
n modern railway time table, which
told of the luxuries one could have by
traveling on that road, no dust, no jar
ring and all other disagreeable fea
tures eliminated.
The old time table was a doublo
sheet of paper, torn and yellow with
age. It was issued by the Atchison
and California stagecoach Hue in 1857.
The inducements it held forth wore in
strange contrast with those of the
modern railroad advertisement. The
stagecoach line advertised that it had
recently refurnished the entire “road"
with absolutely new wagonettes, and
it told what kind of conches they were,
how the springs were made and of
what strength they wore. It even said
that the coaches were painted in the
“best manner possible.’’ The horses
that drew the coaches were described,
too, as the host.
An inducement that was held out on
the time table to prospective passen
gers was a stop over priviloge.
“Passengers who hail paid their en
tire fare from Atchison or other points
to their destination." yio paper said,
“may register with our Wonts. A stop
over privilege is then given for any
place on the road.”
The time of the stop over was un
limited. The time table provided that j
a passenger might resume the Journey
whenever there was an empty scat In
the stagecoach.
“We make (pilcker time to Califor
nia than any other stagecoach line and
at a cheaper rate," the pamphlet stat
ed. It went on to say that for 8200 a
person could ride all the way from
Atchison, Kan., to the gold fields of
California.
“The distance Is 1,013 miles," was
etated on the lime table, “the longest
distance over attempted by a stage
coach lino. Atchison to California In
thirty-live days.”
A boast was made that there were
twelve telegraph stations on the road
t » California nnd that eating places
bad been established along the road
where good meals could be lind at the
r. uulnal price of $3. Every passenger
was allowed twenty-five pounds of bag
gage, consisting of wearing apparel
and other necessary baggage. All over
that amount must he paid for at a rilte
of 50 cents a pound.
It was advertised that the risk on
the return trip was very great on ac
count of the . in amt of gold dust and
nuggets being lir light back from Cali
fornia. The company employed only
the brave t men, fully armed all the
time. Tint it declined to carry gold
dust mile s paid for at the rate of .$3
a pound. Tin* company refused to ho
held responsible for the loss of the
gold dust by robbers. Indians or other
means.
The pamphlet also advertised a fast
freight line between Atchison and Den
ver. The round trip was made in the
short space of twenty days. To ship
by this method all merchandise had
to he wrapped in waterproof packages.
A package weighing ton pounds could
be sent by that route for $5. All over
that weight was sent at the reduced
rate of 82 for five pounds.
In its advertisement for passengers
to California the pamphlet, ns stuted
before, allowed every passenger twen
ty-five pounds of baggage. However,
it advised that ns many persons wish
ed to take move baggage than the
weight limit It would be safer to send
it to California by sea.
“And to think that wo can get on a
train tonight and he in Denver tomor
row,” the railroad man said ns he com
pared the time tables.—Kansas City
Star.
Mistook Scripture For Science.
They were passing one of the Fifth
avenue churches when the bulletin
hoard caught her eye. “The Rev. Dr.
will speak this evening on Deuter
onomy.” She stopped short and care
fully road it a second time. “Well,"
she snapped, “I wish these preacher
would stick to the Bible and let science
nlone. I don’t believe Dr. knows
any more about Deuteronomy or as
tronomy or any other onomy than 1
do.”—New York Telegram.
MAKING A BALLOON. jA SPLENDID OFFER
°=* FOR LITTLE EFFORT
Precautions Taken to Keep tho
Bag From Destruction.
It may interest the reader to hear
something ulxnit the construction of a
big modern balloon and Its equipments.
If is made of what Is known as bill
loon cloth, which sometimes Is of silk
and is sewed tn small sections of ub mt
a yard square, so that if one of the sec
tlons should burst the whole balloon
\vould not collapse and destroy the
aeronaut.
At the top of the lmg is the valve to
let the gus out when one wishes to du-
si end. A rope for opening it runs from
this valve through the center of the
balloon to the operator ift tIn* basket.
The balloon Is filled through the neck,
nud this is left always open, so that
when the gas expands from the heat of
the sun or the lesser pressure of high
altitudes the gas may escape and not
burst the envelope.
As soon ns the balloon Is sewed to
gether if is blown full of air and given
three coats of varnish. Each coat must
he allowed to dry thoroughly before
the next Is applied, or else they would
never become perfectly dry, and the
balloon would be likely to be destroyed
I at any minute from spontaneous com
I bustlon. This spontaneous combustion
is not a bursting into flame, but n kind
of exceedingly quick dry rot. I myself
have lost three balloons through It.
Once in my factory we were looking at
n beauty when some one sniffed the
air and remarked, “Thomas’ balloon is
gone." And so it proved to be. Five
minutes saw It destroyed- rotten so
that you cjotild poke your finger through
it
Sometimes the balloon is so affected
in only n few sections, nnd a man may
make an ascension thinking his bal
loon is all right.. Protected by the lino
netting which envelops the balloon it
self, he may even get up to some height
before discovering his danger. In for
mer times there were many fatal acci
dents from this cause.
When a balloon is packed, talcum or
some other powder Is sprinkled over
the folds to keep them from adhering
to each other. If lids is neglected the
balloon will be ruined, especially in hot
weather.
As 1 said, a fine netting covers the
balloon proper both to strengthen it
and to carry the weight of tin* basket
nnd Us contents. AH the strands of
the netting come together In the “con
centrating ring,” just above the basket,
In which the aeronaut stands. The an
chor nnd guide ropes as well as the
bosket are fastened to tills concentrat
ing ring.
All modern balloons, besides tho
valve, have a rip cord fastened to a
long patch sewed in tho envelope, by
means of which the balloon can be cut
in two and brought to earth Instantly.
This is never used except In case of ex
treme emergency and where the basket
is' within ten or fifteen feet of the
ground.—Dr. J. P. Thomas In Apple
ton's.

HORSE TALK
Every man who owns a horse or mule should
keep on hand at all times without fail a bottle of
Walker’s Dead Shot Colic Cure. Cures the
worse cases of colic—it cures the kind of colic that ^
kills when you fool with trifling remedies. If you 4
lose a horse or mule with the colic, then you have ^
lost about one hundred and fifty dollars. There J
is no danger of your animal dying with the colic if W
you give Walker’s Dead Shot Colic Cure, w
for it cures the worst kind of colic—it cures the ^
kind that kills when you don’t give Walker’s
Dead Shot Colic Cure. No cure no pay is
the way we sell it; if you say it did not cure, we
will refund the money. It is the cheapest medi
cine on earth for colic, because it cures—and cures
BAD CASES. The price is $1.00 per bottle, four
to five doses to the bottle. Is it not a good idea
to keep ready prepared, useful valuable medicine
like this on hand? It is what the horse calls com
mon sense.
Every farmer should buy half a dozen bottles
and keep it on hand. Your stock will not die of
colic if you give them Walker’s Dead Shot
Colic Cure.

A Nice Distinction.
I wonder if any of these purists

ought to be cleared up.—London Tatler.
The Old Bedlam.
Bethlehem (pronounced Bedlam) Is
the London lunatic asylum. It was
originally founded ia 1247 as a priory,
hut is spoken of as a hospital for lu-
nutics in 1472, and when the church
was despoiled it was grantel to the
city of Loudon as such an asylum. At
one time the wretched inmates were
exhibited to the public like so many
wild beasts, as Pepys notes In his din
ry and Hogarth shows In one of his
sketches. Patients that were harmless
or hall’ cured were given badges and
released to beg In the streets. Edgar
la “King Lear” impersonates one of
these wandering Tom-o’-Bedlams.
What Chance Had He?
A physician tells of two young
friends in Ills city who entered simul
taneously upon their respective careers
of physician and lawyer. Late one
afternoon the newly made medico
dashed • into tho room of his lognl
friend, exclaiming;
“Great luck, old man! Congratulate
me! Got a patient at last! On my
way to see hint now!”
Whereupon the legal light to be clap
ped his friend on the back saying, “De
lighted, old chap!” Then, after a slight
puase, he added, with a sly grin:
“Say, let me go with you. Perhaps
lie hasn’t made his will."
The Opposite.
“Did he go to the dogs when you re

“No, quite the opposite.”
“Quite the opposite?”
“Yes. He went and got himself en

Dent istry a specialty. For the rapid
development of Veterinary dentistry,
the science of this branch of Veteri
nary proves its importance and
demonstrates the necessity of the
practice of it by qualified Surgeons.
The causes of numerous diseases and disagreeable'habits,
heretofore ascribed as constitutional, have been traced directly
to the teeth : blindness, drolling, stopping short, starting sud
denly. frothing, loss of llesh, weak eves, driving on one rein
and pulling are very often due to diseased and irregular teeth.
Rough edges and sharp corners of the teeth lacerate the
mouth nop produce nervousness and irritability. Uneven and
elongated molars and incisors prevent the proper mastication
of the food, producing indigestion and general debility.
Decayed molars cause necrosis of the bone, abscesses, nasal
gleet. Fistula of the jaw. etc. These causes should be removed.
Decayed teeth should be removed by extracting or tre-
phaning; sharp corners nnd rough edges should be smoothed
doan, and elongated and uneven molars and incisors cut of!.
'J’hc ci.>mmon limit or tile, heretofore deemed sullicient to
accomplish this, will not suffice, but special instruments,
devised for the purpose are necessary.
