‘‘Did I ever lmvo a lively ride? 1
think 1 am sufo in saying yes, al-
tb-iugh I cannot say that I traveled at
the rate of sixty or soventy miles, per
haps not more than forty. But we
wont fast enough, and few of us in
the car wore sure enough of being
alive the next day to put off thinking
of those things tnat a man will dwell
on "when ho heliovos his life in danger.
I know that tho pooploon tho car wero
glud when it stopped, although we
were out of all danger when it did
stop,
you ever travel to Alta, a min
ing camp high in the Wahsatch
mountains, in Utah territory, you will
make part of the trip on u horse tram
way, for no railroad could climb tho
mountains to tho head' of Little Cot-
tamVood canyon, whore Alta sits up
amopg tho clouds. Tho tramway is
o’lto&inoiy narrow and hangs by letlges
(thit (Drags and peaks, as it seems, wind
ing its way till you are at the very
head of the canyon. From first to lust
you are in a snowshod, tho root of
which Incline!* at uu angle with tho
mountain's slue, ana ovoi* this snow-
and down its steep pitched roof
^pnow tdides and masses of ice,
which ;«ap far out whon they lenvO
the :shed altfl go tliving to the bot
tom of tho canyon, down so fur below
thtywken you locffiat u man follow-
inoNho trnifdown thereon }iisbroncho
he Iboks like a doll on the hack of a
sinafl dog. In the sides of tho shed
there are little square holes which let
in light.enough to eimbln you to see tho
stripg of mules stretched out beforo
you m single lino tugging away at
your narrow cur.
“But while mules pull your light
car’on tho upward trip you comedown
with 11 rush. The mules uro sent down
the canon to Wahsatch station. When
you are nicely tucked in tho ear tho
map silting in the front seat gently
loosens a couple of brukes und tho cur
isolf with an easy roll. In a moment
you aro spinning along, tho light car
swinging swiftly around tho sharp
curves and bits of white Hashing past
you whero tho holes aro cut for light.
Tho brakomun has gone over the road
in this way so often that ho cun tell hy
the resistance on tho brakes how fast
tho car is going. His deft hand les
sens or tightens its grip ns tho grado
rises or falls, and so uniform is tho
rate of speed that at uny time he can
toll you the exact minute of tho hour
by the distunco ho has traveled.
“We were rolling swiftly down tho
naffow, ill lighted snowshod one sum
mer*-when in a strook of light from
ono of tho holes ahead wo saw stand
ing ti cow. Instantly there was a
grating sound of tho brakes, followed
by the shock of decreased spood. But
thoro came a loud snap and tho car
bounded uway. I sut behind tho
brakemuu and could see his fuco. I
liuvo often thought sinco that ho was
more frightened twin I, but ho seemed
ns cool as a veteran soldier under Are.
lie released one bruko entirely, tho
ono which had snapped, and pressed
all his farce on tho other. IIo gave
out u loud yell, which frightened tho
cow und sturted it on u run. The fast
er the cow ran tho louder and wilder
ho cried until tho mad cow went
plunging ahead like a mud engine.
Racing after tho terrified animal, we
rapidly drew near it. Oncol caught
sight through an opening of tho green
grass fur below in tho canon, and oven
wondered if a man could livo till ho
reached tho bottom. It seemed that
we caught tho cow with ono long leap
after that. It was just at ono of tho
windows that wo struck her. Tho ter
rific shock drove her crushing through
tho side of tho shed over the side of
the mountain, but tho cur kept tho
track and went spinning ulong, the
wheels snupping loudly, and tho ono
remaining brake grinding away until
wo raced out to the open grade, and
the speed slackened on tho level
stretch us we rolled into tho little
station. An I recall the experience,
not ono word was spoken after tho cow
was hurled through the side of the
shed."—Now York Tribune.
Origin of Different Hami,
M. Do Quatrefages, tho French eth
nologist, has made public his conclu
sions with regard to the origin and dis
tribution of tfio human race. Ilcsays
all mankind cumo from a central muss
in northern Asia, and that there were
three fundamental types—black, white
and yellow. These three types scat
tered over the world and intermingled,
forming in time, seventy-two distinct
races, which is the number now repre
sented on tlio globe.
Do Quatref rages believes that tho
American Indian came from “a blend
ing of tho white and yellow races with
a local quartenary race.”—.St. Louis
Republic.
The government of India has been
compelled by law to purchase three
copies of each new book issued in the
country, and it has been discovered
that a practice lias grown up of print
ing new books simply f<p* the sale of
these three copies, fot'which any price
within reason could ho charged. A
change is iibout to bo made in the
law, and Jioreaftcr the publishers will
have to present the copies to the gov
ernment.
The Boston >>oard of health have
ordered the i’ublic Library card in each
family to he stamped, so as to indicate
the,presence of such a disease there.
The library will thereafter decline to
allow other books to be taken out on
this card until there is no longer dan
ger of contagion, When bookS-aro re
turned from such a locality they will
be disinfected.—Herald of Health.

Tlio Awful Hovongo Which » New Yurfr
Woman Xnlllotml U 1*011 Her Kuemy.
Two fashionably attired women en
tered anelcvated train and began talk
ing about a third person, who was evi
dently rather obnoxious to them both.
The conversation, which was conduct
ed in tones loud enough to be heard
some distance away, discovered a spe
cies of revenge which no one hut a
woman could think of, much less put
into practice.
“She’s a hateful thing,” quoth sho
of the shiny black hilt.
“Yerv,” assented tho ono in the now
spring bonnet. “I never could un
derstand how you over asked her to
your house."
"I had an object in doing so, you
may bo sure. You remember those
lovely portieres my uncle brought mo
from Persia f Well, sho foil dead in
love with them at first sight. I know
sho would, because, of course, slio
never owned anything half so nice. I
know then that my moment of revenge
was ul lianu. I pretended that l didn’t
care very iupeh for the portieres, ox-
copt because they Wore a present, and
I asked hor if sho would tako care of
thorn until I needed them, which I
probably never should. At firslfsho
wouldirt jistofi to such ft proposition,
although I saw sho TTiiS just tickled lb
death with tho idea, hut wlidii J con
vinced hor that she would bo doing
mo tho greatest favor in the world she
consented.
“They were hung in hor drawing
roont, and wore as pretty a pair as the
city could hoobt. All her friends from
far and near were invited to see them,
und everybody went into raptures over
them, I saw my plans were working
famously, bat I waited and hided my
timo, knowing well that I should ho
fully repaid for my putieiico. After u
while, from hearing tho portieres prais
ed by every tongue, she began fairly
to idolize them. Kven hor love for
her children begun to wane. und she
would sit for lioura in mute admiration
of the swaying folds. My time for ac
tion had come. It was awfully cruel
I know, but I hud intended to do it ill I
along, so lhy conscience didn’t trouble
me very much at the critical moment.
“I sent my servants to tuko-tho por
tieres away from her. Bho never said
a word to mo when wo mot, but I shall
never forgot the look of reproach in
her eyes until my dying day. That’s
a mouth ugo, and she has been fretting
so much over her loss that she Inis be
come n perfect fright.”—Now York
Hvouing Bun.
Why rimv«iH Simp.
That ilowers sleep is evident to Lite
most casual observer. Tho daisy opens
at sunrise and closes at sunset, lienee
its iiunio—“duy’s eye." The,morning
glory opens with the duv, but never
lives to see another sunrise. The
“Jolin-gn-to-bed-ut-noon” awakes at -1
o’clock in the morning, but closes its
eyes during the middle of the duv;
the dandelion ii in full bloom only
during strong light. This habit of
some flowers is certainly very curious,
and furnishes ono of the many in
stances which prove tho singular udup
lability of everything in nature. The
reason is found in the method by
which this class of (lowers is fertilized.
It is obvious that flowers fertilized by
night flying insects would derive no
advantage by being open during the
day; und, on tlio other hand, that
those which uro fertilized by bees
would gain nothing by remaining
open at night. Why may wo not sup
pose, then, tlmt the closing of flowers
may have reference to tho habits of in
sects? In support of this theory wo
observe that wind fertilized flowers
never sleep.--St. J^ouis Republic.
Smoking on tlio Htrunt,
Cigars were never made to be
smoked on the street, ears or on the
broud boulevards of a city whon a gen
tleman is with u ludy. Yet it is a
common occurrence to see u man
walking with a well dressed woman
and puffing smoko from tho weed into
tlio faces of other pedestrians. After
dinner und in the house is the proper
time and place to smoke und really en
joy a good cigar. A gentleman of this
city, who had been in the hubitof buy
ing expensive cigars und smoking
them in tho open air, discovered tlmt
he did not appreciate them so much as
ho did the post prandial smoke. He
turned over a new leaf and bought u
quantity of cheap cigurs to smoke
while in the street, ana saved his good
and expensive brand for homo con
sumption. According to bis exper
ience there is no appreciable difference
in the street between a tliree-for-flve-
cent cigar and onrnof three-for-a-dol-
lar.—Washington Post.

It seems very probable that the day
is not fur distunt when brine, cooleil
below the freezing point of water, will
be curried under the streets in pipes, as
steam iH now, supplying from central
stations a very convenient substitute
for ice in the domestic household. By
freezing in our own houses water
which has been previously boiled, it
will then he possible for us to avoid
contagion from diseased germs con
taincu in ice gathered from impure
sources. The maintenance of dwoll

the summer will then be us much a
matter of course as tho warming of a

of good in so fur tlmt it ussures very-
poor people against being put to ex
