Lyndon, Newnan, Ga, Shooting Dunn a Mountain lload Behind h Fleeing Cow and a Weak Brake. ‘‘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.

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.
