CROSSING THE CONTINENT. *
Valley of Kicking Horse—Mount '
Stephen Shooting Antelope— |
The First Glimpse of the Rocke
ies.
|
The ride from Donald, near the topmost |
ridge of the Selkirks, % Winnipeg gives the
traveler an immense variety of sccnery and in
cident. Leaving Donald, and running for an
hour along the shores of the dwindling Colum
bia, its waters white with clay, the train moves
easily over a glcasant intervale between the |
Selkirks and the ranges of the Rockies. We |
soon catch gight of the vast system of the |
Rockies in a chain of snow-clad peaks—large |
.io themselves, but small when compared with |
the gigantic forms of the Selkirks which we
have just left-—set against the southeastern ’
sky like the teeth of a huge saw. Looking
backward from this point, we see, spread out |
in full beauty and impressiveness, t;le superb ’
sierra through whose gorges and defiles we
have but lately passed with so mach difficulty |
—itB base covered with black masses of pines, |
its sides scarred and rent by avalanches, its |
#summits gleaming with innumerable glaciers, |
now flushed in rosy tints under the rays of the |
descending sun, We are in the midst of the |
grandeur and desolation of Nature's closest
sanctuary; there isan awfulness in this environ- |
ment of mountains, this untainted atmosphere I
of the heights, that makes words forgotten and
com}l>els us to look upon the wonderful scene
in silence. There isnot in all the Alps, or in
the barren gorges of the Pyrennees, white with
winter, a scene moie beautiful and imposing—
g:hafis none equally so—than this of the
ikirks from the first western slepes of the |
Rocky Mountains. A turn in the road, which .
brings us at once into a new series of canons
and ravines, shuts out the sight of the Sel- |
kirks, and we plunge into the heart of the |
Ercatest chain of the continent, the Rocky |
ountains, to which even the Selkirks, |
superb as they are, are but secondary. Down |
the canon into whose twilight (here perpetual '
from deep ravine and darkencd grewth of |
pine and cedar) we have been so suddenly
whirled, rolls a swift and narrow stream,
across which we repeatedly cross and re-cross
in the next few miles, the track clinging above
it to a shelf cut out of the cliff, thickly set |
with tunnels, tresties and sharp curves in be- |
wildering succession. ¥or ages the stream
has cut its way down through the layers of |
rock until it has attained such a depth that
the perpendicular cliffs above it slmost hide
it from the sunlight. Above the 3iuu can be
seen the old road, passable only by pack
horses and mules (and to them dangerous),
over which all materials and supplies had to
be brought before the railway could be built.
The stream is the famous Kicking Horse |
River, for its extent the most difficult obstacle |
the railroad encountered in all its distance
{rom sea to sea. The stream rages mightily
as it forces its way through the scant ravine,
into which, to vex it further, the mountains
have cast great boulders, which break it into
masses of foam, and cause it at times to
throw ug huge sheets of gpray into the air.
The grade here, however, iz not immoderate—
when we have passed Field, where supper is
to be taken, we shall find a different state of
affairs,
From the station of Field to that of Hector,
only eight miles above, the run takes an hour
and o quarter, for, short as the distance is, the
difference in altitude of the two places is 1140
feet, making an average grade of about 148
feet to the mile. To overcome so abrupt a
Ibg‘e‘ two engines are attached to the train at
Field, onc in front to pull, the other, a mon
sgter of about 100 tons and equipped with eight
driving wheels, behind, to fmsl]l the weight, as
it were, with its huge shoulders, For the first
few rods above Field the road runs over a tlat
country, when the train abruptly Slungos into
a ravine even more rocky, stern and awe-inspir
ing than any we have before seen. The grade
here began to rise with great abruptness, and
a hint was given of the difficulty and danger
of the place by seeing, here and there, a man
standivg by a switch leading to a stretch of
track whicfi had been built on level ground on
the inward side of the line. The duty of these
switchmen, we discovered, was to watch as
cending or descending traing, and if one
should break loose from the control of the lo
comotives, toturn the switch at once and
send the train upon the safety-level. This
furnished us another instance of the care
which is everywhere taken for the security of
the line; in fact, eternal vigilance is a
necessity on a road which, like this, meets
at almost every mile some new danger.
In _the midst of this system of safety
ewitches we come again upon the Kicking
Horse River, and into & region of surpassing
grandeur, Five hundred feet below, raging
aud fuming through immense banks of solid
rock, the swollen stream plunges down the
sieeps in a succession of besutiful waterfalls,
and sheer above the track, rising terrace upon
terrace to a height of 5,000 feet,stand the fan
tastic shapes of the loftiest of the Canadian
Rocky Mountains. U&mn their toPs and sides
ere glaciers of ice and snow 200 feet in thick
ness, and rising above their desolate wastes
are furrets, pinnacles and towers, like the out
look posts of the Titans, We sweep directly
under the measureless mass of Cathedral
Mountain, standing in lone and melancholy
yrandeur abc.e all its fellows, its irregular
form suggesting at once the massive Dom of
Cologne, the fairy pinnacled Duomo of Milan,
and the golden crowned Church of St. Isgac’s
at St. Petersburg—-aptly named if ever moun
tain was. Near by stood an irregular mass
very like in sh?e to Mont Bt. Michael, but
strangely tcpped by a I|]'>erfect pyramid: and
close to this sppeared the counterpart of St.
Basil's bulbous-spired church at Moscow, with
many other mountains whizh wert like noth
ing else than themselves. Every glacier pours
forth its flood, every guich and ravine is filled
with roaring brooks and rivers, the whole conn
try echoes with the sound of many waters, and
throngh the impenetrabie forests the wind
sighs mournfully. The scene, with Mt. Ste
phen 8240 fect above the track, the loftiest
peak on the line, is indescribal ¥ grand. Al
though it was ten o'clock in the evening be
fore we surmounted the divide, the sun still
touched to topmostpeaks and slied a mild re
flection into the valley below, a radiance to
which the fires of the laboring locomotives
added, as the open doors of their furnaces
threw a glare of lurid light into the gloomy
aisles if the woodland. On the front of the
rearmost locomotive a Chinaman had perched
himself at Field, and had accompanied us up
the divide. Ae hud looked up at the impend
mg crags, and down at the roaring river, with
some show of apprehension. Finally, coming
under an imposing pile of rock, the trainstop
ped. The Chinaman regarded the mountair,
and drew a long breath. “I call that plenty
good,” he said, indicating, by a sweep of his
arm, the majestic region that we had passed.
Emerson, who delighted in terseness and sim.
plicity of speech, would have been pleased
with the remark.
The fall of night prevented us from seeing
more of the magnificent scenery of the Rock
ies, which is, in fact, chiefly a repetition of
what I have already attem(yted to describe. I
do not know that we were ispleased at having
a chance to rest our eyes and minds, nor were
we reluctant to think upon what we had seen,
rather than to sce more. The fact is that the
stupenduous scenery of the Western Division
of the Canadian Pacific is as hard to seoas it
is to describe, Its effect upon the mind is to
stupefy, so vast are its dimensions, so great ite
individual features. Months could well be
t&pent in seeing what we passed over in three
ays: indeed, I would advise everyone who
wighes to study to full advantage the wonders
ful country (more grandly }pictureuque thau
any other on the continent) that is now opened
by this line, and upon which but few eyes have
as yet rested, to stop at varions points and
learn the region gradually. The facilities for
doing so are excellent. The company has al
ready erected fine, commodious hotels at many
Fhwea in the mountains—at the Glacier House
ield, Banft, etc.--and is preparing to build
others, 80 that soon tlre tourist can '{m as well

. and forming the station for the Cinadian Na
tional Park, The place abounds in medicinal
springs, and in addition to the coltages and
small hostelries that now cxist, the railway
company is building a very large and well
appointed hotel, which will offer every accom
modation that can be found in first-class houses
in the East. The National Park is several

scenery, and is made accessible by numer
ous roads and bridle (}mths, which have been
constructed by the Government at large ex

upon the eastern plains, towering above all the
other mountains in its neighborhood.
We passed down the eastern slope of the
Rocky mountains in the night, and, when
morning dawned, we were far out upon the
plaing, the only suggestion of the tremendous
system through which we had passed being the
sight of a lofty peak or two resting like clouds
upon the western horizon. The contrast be
tween the mountaing and the plain is most
striking—the prairies are undoubtedly mono
tonous after the immense variety of the Sel
kirks and Rockies, but nevertheless have much
that is mnovel and interesting. Traveling
across the vast stretches of Alberta, Assiniboin
and Manitoba is like a vovage at sea—the
prospect is completely unbroken, and the
silence is profnun{l. T{m tuxuriant soil of the
plains nourishes the mest beautiful flow
ars. At every station we descended to pick
the blooms of delicate blue, yellow, erimson
and salmon tints which filled the landsecape
with thick masses of color. Prairie dogs and
gophers sat at the edge of their burrows to see
us pass, and served, when we stopped, as
marks for the revolvers of the passengers, who
got much sport thereby, and did not harm the
animals at all, as far as could be observed. In
the distance appeared, from time to time,
herds of antelope, and plainly marked path
ways, crossing the track and stretching out of
sight to north end south, showed where a Buf
falo had retreated into still more remote fast
nesses before the presence of their enemy, the
white man. Great herds of cattle were often
met, slowly moving westward, attended by
half-breed drivers and canvass-covered wagons,
their movements directed by a pack of wolfish
looking d gs, which hung %mn the outskirts
of the herd and snapped and snarled at its re
luctant or delaying members. At Medicine
Hat we cross the BSaskatchewan, a broad and
turbid stream, spanned by a steel bridge 1010
feet long. Medicine Hat—named after a once
famous Indian doctor who bore this euphoni
ous title—is a thriving town, the centre of a
vast agricultural and grazing region,
and the headqnarters of a detach
ment of the famous mounted police,
whose efforts, sometimes independent, again
assisted by the forces of the United States
army across the border, have had a salutary
effect in subduning and keeping in order the
native tribes. Members of the force were seen
lounging around the railway station—stalwart
fellows in scarlet coats and huge top-boots
and with the pork-pie caps so much affected
by the British soldiery cocked npon their
beads at the perilous angle which the regula
tions seem to prescribe. Looking at these
troopers, one might fancy himself regarding
a London group of soldiers—they would have
been quite an fzit if set down at once in Pall
Mall or Trafalgar square. Near them were
knots of the Indians whom they are stationed
here to queM~grave-looking savages. with
yellow painted foreheads, red ears, cheeks in
alternate stripes of blue and white, wearing
costumes like a crazy quilt rainbow. They
have abandoned the occupation of taking the
white man’s scalp, and turned their efforts to
acquiring the white man’s money by the sale
of polished buffalo horns and other curiosities.
They are thrifty bargainers, and drive a brisk
trade with the tourists who pass to and fro
over the line.
From Maple Creck, three stations below, to
Secretan. a distance of 265 miles, the country
is alive with wild fowl. Ducks, geese, pelicans,
snipe and curlew are encountered in every lake,
pond and pool of water, and afford the passen
gers plenty ot sport, at no cost to themselves,
in popping at them with revolvers. The flocks
of curlew that were encountered darkened the
shores of the lakes, and although the present
is the breeding season, and most of the birds
are wmstivating further to the North, a hunter
would have here all the sport he conld wish
for. Trom Swift Current to Secretan, some
seventy miles, we essayed the locomotive's
pilot again, and enjoyed until dark the sensa
tion of whirling over the broad prairiec under
the blazing sky of a brilliant sunset. It was
very amuring to watch the antics of the goph
ers and prairie dogs, which build their nests
in the earth thronghont the whole region, and
even burrow in vast numbers between the ties of
the road itself. To these creatures the locomo
tive, and the strange creatures upon it, seem
ed to afford a constant surprise and fascina
tion. They would stand bolt upright
upon their hind legs until the cow-catcher
almost touched them, and then, evi
dently satisfied that the day of judgment was
at hand, would dive into th2ir holes with
langhable precipitation. Occasionally one,
trusting vainly in his powers of foot, would
turn tail and scuttle Hn\\'n the track with
great rapidity, only to be caught up with
almost immediately and overrun by the roar
ing train. They were thick as mice in a gran
ary, and the whole track was alive with them,
jumping over the rails, diving into the earth,
running in everydirection, to escape what must
have appeared to them a most appalling mon
ster. All night and another day we traveled
before we came to Winni{mg, through a most
rich and fertile country, already densely popu
lated in places, and capable of supporting an
immense number of inhabitants. i"(;om Win
pipeg to Port Arthur a ride of about eighteen
hours more is neccssary, when we strike the
rugged and picturesque shores of Lake Supe
rior, and thence travel on through tlie rich
Provinee of Ontario, and on the morning of
the sixth day arrive at Montreal.
The journey from Wianipeg is quite as well
worth ‘describing s that whose incidents I
have already bricdy noted down, but time per
mite no detailed account of it. In general,
and in closing, it may be said that no railroad
in the world presents such variety, beauty and
randeur of scenery as that of the Canadian
g’acific. I have crossed the continent three
times and should have some criterion for the
judgment, and may say that whether we look
to Ontario and Manitoba for richness of soil
and pracefnl and prosperous homes of men;to
Lake Superior for raggedness of shore, beauty
of expanse of water, or wealth of mine and
quarry; to Assiniboia and Alberta for impres
sive stretch of prairie and wild life of man
bird and beast, or to the Rocky, Selkirk and
‘ Caseade mountaing for sublimity and awful
| nese of precipice, peak and crag—we shall
find them all as they nowhere else exist, even
in America, the land of all lands for natural
resources and wonders. No more delightful
trip can be imagined than that by the Cana
dian Pacific Railway during the months of
summer. For ourselves, uneil near Montreal,
we found neither heat nor dust, and arrived at
our journey’s end with little feeling of fatigue.
One point is especially worthy of remark—
indeed, two, Lnt one above all the
rest. That is, the superior methods of
provisioning the line, a thing in marked con
trast to some roads which I could mention,
where travelers are sure to be fed irregularly
and wretchedly at the eating houses by the
way, and, in congequence of delays, often are
unable to secure any provision at all for eight
or ten honrs. The Canadian Pacific runs din
ing cars over all its line, except through the
mountains, and there the eating houses fur
-1 ih & most excellent meal at moderate cost.
In the dining ears (which are put on in relays
at certain fixed points) meals are served ex
actly on time from day to day, and even in the
wildest regions the passenger may be sure of
dining, supping, or breakfasting as well and
as cheaply as at any first-class hotel. The
second ‘)oint upon whieh comment is permissi
ble is the invariable courtesy of all the rail
way’s servants; I myself am much indebted to
engineers, condnctors, and division officials
for facilities in secing and learning abeut the
country over which we traveled. Wonderful
in its construction, the road is equally admir
able for the spirit and carefulness with which
it is run,—SipNeY DickiNsox in Boston Journal.
We eed the World,
The United States not only continue
their work of feeding the rest of the
world—they steadily increase the amount
of that work. For the ten months end
ing Augnst 31 the exports of beef and
pork exceeded by 82,000,000 the exports
of the same kind in the same period in
1886. The total was $65,500,000, or a
ratio of over $76,000,000 a year. The
wonder of this thing is beyond parallel,
and it may well claim a passing thought
in these days of reflection upon the
greatness, the growth, and the illimit
able future of the republic, Here is the
contribution of the United States to the
dinner table of the world in only two
articles of food consumption. All other
meats than beef and pork go to swell
the enormous total, as do breadstuffs,
froits and vegetables, canned goods,
ete. We not only feed ourselves more
nourishingly and amply than any other
people are fed, but we send these hun
dreds of millions worth of food yearly
to the markets of other nations. No
other country does such & work, nor in
all history has it been done. Who eould
possibly have foretold such a tale, sur
passing any Arabian Night marvel, 100

THE CONVICT-CATCHERS.
Big Yellow Dogs Employed to Chase
Runaway Prisoners in Alabama.
There is something besides moral
suasion and good treatment on which
the lessees of the convicts at Pratt
Mines rely to maintain the safe keeping
of their 700 prisoners. With onll)y a
high fence between the convicts and the
woods, with all the chances of escaping
the bullets from a single rifle in a break
for liberty, it seems strange that more
attempts are not made. The explana
tion is found in the presence of the big
legged, long-eared yellow hounds which
lie about the stockade. The Pratt Mines
people pride themselves on having the
finest trailers in the State if not in the
entire south. One man’s time is taken
in breeding and training, and the strain
is maintained in all its purity. These
dogs loaf about the stockade yard,
mingling with the convicts. There are
on the %ost terms in the world with
them. Every one of these men in stripes
might walk out of prison and the trailers
would only beat their tails approvingl
upon the ground and look a dog’s good‘t
by. There isn’t anything of the watch
do§ instinet about them. They are ut
terly worthless save forone thing. They
lie in the shade and sléep and eaf.
They do not even fight among them
selves, But let them be called out and
the trail be given them. It matters not
whose trail it is.
In this connection Mr. Simmons tells
some interesting things about following
the hounds. He has had years of ex
perience. ““The only difficulty,” he
says, “isin the first 200 yards of the
chase, It seems to take that distance
for the dogs to get the scent fixed. If
we put the dogs on a trail, and before
they have covered the 200 yards they
come to where somebody has crossed
the course of the one we are following,
there is danger that they will leave the
right trail and go after the wrong per
son. But when the first 200 yards have
been covered the chase is pretty sure.
It doesn’t matter then if many persons
have crossed the path of the prisoner;
the dogs follow the scent without any
doubt. As they run their blood warms
up and they grow surver.”
Mr. Simmons was asked about the
various devices adopted to throw the
dogs off the scent. ‘“Dogs of {mre
breed and good training,” he replied,
“it is almost impossible to throw off.
Dragging a brush behind will not do it.
I have trailed men throngh running
water, and even on horseback. One of
the very few cases I have known of get
ting away was where the prisoner
jumped into a wagon. That threw the
dogs off, We have trailed prisoners
right into ‘and through the streets of
Birmingham, That, of course, is hard.
Hundreds of people may have tramped
over the ground after the convict has
passed. On the dirt roads of the coun
try the trail is easily followed, and in
the woods it is impossible to get away.
We ran a negro into a big swamp one
time. He got on a mule and rode nine
miles, then got off and ran, but the
dogs followed the trail without a break.
“The scent which the dogs follow
must be in the feet.” Mr. Simmouns
said in reply to another question.
“After that negro I have just spoken of
got on the mule the dogs kept his trail
by jumping up and smelling the bushes
where his feet touched as herode along.
Changing shoes dosen’t help a man any.
The dogs are not thrown off by that
trick. The bigger ears they have the
truer they are on the trail. When they
have run a while they get hot and mad.
If they overtake a convict then they
will do him harm.”
““It is claimed in some of the Georgia
camps that the hounds don’t bite—that
they only bay when they come up with
the conviet, was suggested.”
“That isn’t true with the true breed
of trailers. They will take hold if they
come on the man while they are hot,
and will tear him. The bites make bad
wounds; they are very apt to fester.
When we start the dogs out we follow
them just as hard as we can, to see that
they don’t injure the convict. Usually
he takes to a tree. When we come up
we drive the dogs back. As soon as they
cool off a little they are harmless+”
Hanging up in the stockade yard is a
queer-looking object. At a little dis
tance it might be taken for a buundle of
life preservers. It isa heavily padded
suit of clothes. Once a week, or pos
sibly a little oftener, a convict is dressed
in the padded suit and told to go. He
is given a twec-hours start usually.
Then the dogs are led out and shown
the trail. Away they .o, twelve or fif
to be on hand that evening with my
#noe. He was more gracious in his
wwnner, and gave me some money as a
gaarantee of good faith. I did not know
Niat T was to be a party to an elopement
2 I might have objected to doing a
srong action against Col. Taylor, %or
shom I had the highest regard. It
came about, howver, that I was at the
sloungh after the sun went down, and
waited patiently for the young officer.
“ILhad waite({fiomc time when I heard
footsteps, and turning, I saw Jeff Davis
and Col. Taylor's daugh‘cr hurrying to
ward me. Not a word was spoken as he
lifted her tenderly to a geat in the canoe,
and I followed, taking “i my paddle.
We vient down the slough to where it
joined the river. The young woman
began to cry softly as we swept into the
stream, and Jeff drew her head over on
his shoulder as he spoke to her ina
soothing voice. Across the river we
drifted, and the sound of my paddle
could not be heard a furlong awuy. Not
a loud word was spoken in that silent
voyage, aud I was at a loss to under
stand the whole affair. We kept on
across the river, and every few moments
I took oceasion to glance around to see
how my passengers were getting along.
The girl had ceased her crying, and by
the way she rested her head on the bos
om of the young Licutenant I somehow
became convinced that she was not alto
gether unhappy. We landed on the op
posite shore below the island, and I
waited with some intorest to see what
would happen next. Presently I saw
three men emerge from the thick under
brush some distance from the river
bank, and Jeff Davis ptt some money in
my hand and told me to return. I
learned afterward that one of these three
men who came up on the river bank was
a })riest, but T never found out who the
others were, and neither did T ascertain
the name ¢f the priest. Before I had
reached the place in the slough where I
moa’ed my canoe I heard the noise of
nver sfteamer com’ng down trom St
Paul. She halted 1::low the island in
the middle of the stream, for I distinet
ly heard the engines rev rse and knew
that Jeff Davis and his bride were about
to pass down the Mississippi to the
South. The next day I watched closely
for a glimpse of Col. Taylor, but the old
soldier was too circumspect in his ac
tions to betray any anxiety. I was in
formed that Davis took the young wo
man from an upper window in the log
cabin, and with the assistance of the
chaplain was enabled to get her beyond
the picket lines unobserved. 'There
was no doubt that the chaplain was on
the other side of the river to witness the
marriage, and that he conveyed to Col,
Taylor the news of the elopement.
“I was away from Fort Crawford for
some time after this episode, and heard
no more about it. ft is, however, a
matter of history that Col. Taylor was
vever wholly reconciled to the marriage.
It is stated that after the battle of Buena
Vista Taylor visited Jeff Davis as he lay
wounded in his tent, and extended his
hand to him, nithough there was no fur
ther reconciliation. %)nvis had undoubt
edly won the battle with the Mississippi
Riges, and Taylor could not fail to ree
ognize such gallantry. Time and time
again I have heard this story of mine
ealled a falsehood, bat it is true, and T
am ready to stand by it.”
WHY DO PEOPLE DROWN?
What a Well-Known Swimmer Has
to Say About It.
[From the Pall Mall Gazette.]
The obvious answer to theabove ques
tion is, because they cannot swim. But
Mzr. Johnson, the well-known swimmer,
in the following interview, goes deeper:
‘T suppose,” I remarked to Mr. John
son, ‘“that such a cork as yourself can
not quite understand how a person
sinks.” ¢‘Oh, yes, but I can. Itisonly
such as myself, who study the science
of floating, that can understaud the
mystery of sinking, A swimmer be
comes a swimmer by endeavoring to
find out not s 6 much how to swim, as
how not to sink. Man or woman can
float—there is no exception. The big
secret is knowing how, and being self
possessed enou%'h—tlmt is, in cases of
emergency—to take advantage of one’s
kuow(fedgn. But directly the boat cap
sizes, or the canal bank subsides, or the
sands shift, or the deep pact of the river
uncomfortably asserts itseli, the igno
rant mortal (ignorant of how to use his
Eowers of bouyancy) sets about to sink
imself.”
*‘Sinks himself, Mr. Johnson {’ I ob
served dubiously. “Yes, sinks himself.
Up go his bands, and down he sinks
like a flagstone. Of the ten thousand
and one frenzied actions in which a
drowning man indulges not one is there
that lengs a tittle of buoyancy. In the
first place he clutches at the proverbial
straw, and there is no surer way of sink
ing one’s self than by thrusting the
hands out of the water. The conse
quent lurch of the body strikes fatal
terror in the man’s heart, he struggles
spasmodically, and then, bereft as he is
of all consciousness, vanishes to his
doom. Take, as an instance, the yacht
ing accident off Ilfracombe the other
day. A jovial party set sail in a crazy
fishing smack, and an extra capful of
wind upset her. Instantly there was
chaos and confusion, as is always the
case, and fourteen luckless souls drown
ed themselves, It is simply suicidal for
a non-swimmer to risk his life in uncer
tain craft.”
“Suppose, then, Mr. Johnson, that
you and I ara cruising. The boat has
capsized; we are in the water. What
am I, a non-swimmer, to do?”’ “If
there is anything floating catch at it
steadily. 'The least particle will sup
port you. This beading (which was
no more than an inch square) would
keep your head above water. But if
there is nothing at all within reach this
is what yol should do.” At this junc
ture Mr. Johnson sprang to his feet,
Throwing back his }hcad, and placing
both hands in the small of his back, his
form assumed a slanting position. “So
long as you remained as I am now, so
long would you float.”
“Then it 1s not necessary for the re
quirments of floating that one’s toes
should be level with his nose?” ¢Not
in the least. The mode of floating in a
moment of emergency is as I have just
illustrated—or, at least, my expetrience
tells me that it is the safest and easiest.
It would be an inconsiderable matter
for people to familiarize themselves with
the principles of floating, and a simple
acquaintance with the subject might
prove to be of life long service. 'To be
of any real service, swimming must be
studied to perfection. A manor woman
is termed a good swimmer (and the wo
man and man comes to think so too)
who can manage, asay, a score lengths
of a bath 200 yards long. Here the
water is tepid and smooth, but it is dif
ferent at sea. How many yards would
that same swimmer traverse in troub
lous waters? Butthe chances are that he
could float till rescued, which is a always
the end sought after,
An Officer’s Claim,
Capt. George Mitchell, of the Second
Artilfiery, has filed a claim for longevity
pay, which if allowed will involve the
Government to the extent of at least
$1.100,000 in the payment of similar
claims. Capt. Mitchell claims that he
vlenld be credited with service as a
volui . ot officer of the army in comput
ing his longevity pay. The Supreme
Court has decided in the Morton case
that service at the Military and Naval
Academies is service in the army o 1
navy, and should, therefore, be reckoned
in computing longevity. Under this
ruling a large amount of money has
been paid out. Tt is held by lawyers
generally that if the years spent at the
Academies as students are to be counted
as years spent in actua service, then
volunteer service, in time cf war, should
certainly be taken into consideration in
the computing of longevity. It is the
general opinion that Capt. Mitchell has
a good claim and that he will secure its
allowance. As soon as it is allowed
there will, without doubt, be a similar
claim filed by some naval officer.
Another class of longevity cluims is soon
to comwe before the Court of Claims,
There are not a few officers in the army
who entered the service as enlisted men.
They naturally consider, under the
terms of the law upon which the deci
sion in the Morton ease was based, that
they are more clearly entitled to credit
for service as enlisted men than the
West Point g.aduates are for service as
students. Their service was put in on
the field and is considered to be more
clearly actual service than that of the
cadets by such officers of the Govern
ment as lymw been consulted about the
matter, .
For several years inmates of the par
ish prison, of New Orleans, La, have
been suffering from a peculiar disease
frequently terminating in death. Thir
ty-nine cases of the discase and five
deaths have occurred since January. The
disease has generally been attributed to
the damp condition of the prison. A
physician of the state board of health
made a thorough examination of the
matter and his report does away entirely
with the dampness theory, and states
that the sic'iness is caused by insuflicient
food. The rations consist of a cup of
tea and a picce of bread in the moraing
and soup during the day. The meat for
soup is provided by contract at a very
low rate and has several times been con
demned by the resideuts. The surgeon
says this food is wholly insufficient. "the
inspecting physician deelaves that several

UNIQUE HOSPITALITY. |
A Bsston Woman who Compelled a
. Caller to Take a Bath. |
[From the Providenee Journal.]
Mzs. Y. is a brilliant Boston woman of
abundant executive ability, shrewd wit,
and delightful hospitality. The exigen
cies of her husband’s led to the keeping
up an establishment in the West, where
Murs. Y. passes some monthsof the year,
and where she entertains a great many
people. One day there was brought to
Mrs. Y. the card of an English gentle
man, accompanied by a letter of intro
duction from friends of the Y.’s abroad.
The hostess went down stairs and
greeted the guest cordially.
“We are so accustomed to travellers
here,” she said, ‘“that we know just
what to do with them. We expect every
body to arrive travel-stained and ex
hausted, and we let everybody take a
bath the first thing. I spoke to the ser
vant before I came down, and everything
is all ready.”
“But,” stammered the stranger, *I
cannot thing of putting you to so much
trouble. I—"
“Oh, I know just how you feel,” in
terrupted Mrs. Y. “‘A bath is the only
thing that restores me te my nornral
condition when I've been travelling, and
you have come right through from Bos
ton.”
The guest demurred, but Mrs. Y. was
too executive, and too truly hospitable
to allow his seruples to prevent the car
rying out of her kindly intent. The
Englishman was shown up stairs to the
bathroom, where it is to be presumed
he combined with the progress of his
toilet reflections upon the originalit
and practicality of American hospitn-iy
ity.
In due time the guest decended again
gt the parlor, where Mrs. Y. awaited
im,
“I hope you have found everything
to your mind,” she said.
“Oh, yes,” he replied, ‘I have had a
delightful bath; and now I'must bid you
good afternoon, as I have to catch a
train.”
“What?” cried his host aghast,
“You are not going?”
‘Unfortunately I must. I only stop
ped over a train to call on you.” |
“Mercy |” she exclaimed, in dismay.
“T thought you had come to remain.
You certainly cannot go away when I
havn’t seen you at all ¢”
“I really must,” was thereply, “but
I assure you I have had a most refresh
ing bath, and I shall always remember
with sincere pleasure your mrique hos
pitality.”
The story was too good to keep, and
Mrs. Y. told it at her own expense,
greatly to the entertainment of her
friends, who declared that this fashion
of entertaining visitors was one which de
served to be widely introduced, as it
would solve many a perplexing question
of the proper method of disposing of
guests who were not easy to amuse.
A youxe lady whose home fs on
Grand Isle, La., has been muki:g 2 col
iection of the bright-plumaged birds
found on the island. The theory is that
these birds have been blown out into the
Guif during gales and driven on the
Louisiana shore. A box contain ing four
teen specimens, which were trapped and
{wrepnred for mounting by this young
ady, revealed when opened a most gor
geous spectacle, the colors ranginfirom
the brightest scarlet—a scarlet beside
which that of the cardinal or red bird
seems quite dull—down to the palest
of pinks and blues, Some of the speci
mens were of a Jovely shade of yellow,

Paid in Gold Coin,
In Dee., 1888, I. R, Johnson & €O., 22 Custom
House St., Boston, Mass,, offered eight premi
ums payable in gold coin, which they say crea
ted & great interest among people who kept
hens, so much so, in fact, that they anthorize
us to say that they shall offer Nov. Ist, 1887,
another list of premiums for the bests results
from the use of Sheridan’s Powder to Make
Hens Lay. Of course all who compete canust
get one of the premiums, but some of the last
year’s rel’)lm'ts sent us show that ihe parties
ought to have been well satisfied if they had
not received any other benefit than the in
crease of egus they got while making the trial.
For example the first premium was twenty
five dollars taken by C. A. French, Washing
ton, N. H.,who fed thirty hens the Sheridan’s
Powder for eight weeks. The first week he got
only ten eggs; the third week the hens laid 201
egas, and the eighith week 208 eggs. During the
cight weeks trial he got 1398 eggs which, at the
Frlco of eggs in_Boston or New York markets
n mid-winter, ®ould have vielded $46.60, or
$1.55f0r each hen in eight week’s time. Con
sidering the small expense of keeping a hen no
animalon a_ farm will pay like that. The
fourth premium, which was ten dollars, went
to Mrs. E. B. Carlin, Conklin Centre, N. Y.,
who in the eight weeks reccived from forty
hens 1707 eggs. The first week she only got
86 eggs, but the last week 217 eggs.
This clearly demonstrates that the use of
Sheridan’s Powder to Make Hens Lay will in
crease the profit several hundred per cent.
Johnson & Co. will send two 25 cent gacks of
Sheridan’s Powder postpaid to any address for
50 cents in poetage smmzss: ora I:\r§e 24 pound
can of Powder for $1.2). To eac h ‘person or
dering a large can as abhove the;’ will send free
one copy of the “Farmei’s Poultry Guide"
(price, 25 cents),
