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.

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.

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.

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.

Rough edges and sharp corners of the teeth lacerate the mouth nop produce nervousness and irritability.
