down a flume.
A Swift Journey Down a
Nevada Mountain.
fuhing Through Space at the Kato of
Two M les a Minute.
V Chicago newspaper man tells in the
SerMof that city an experience he once
& a j riding in a Nevada lumber flume
“ Lumber flumes in the Sierra Nevada.*,”
he said, “are all the way from five to
forty miles long. They arc built on a
regular engineer’s grade. The bed of
the flume is made of two-inch plank in
the form of a V, the sides of the V being
from eighteen to twenty six inches high.
They are built on a grade of about six
teen feet drop to the thousand. They
carry eight inches of water in the acute
jngle, and discharge it at the rate of 400
miner’s inches a minute. In other words,
turn in your water at the head of the
flume, and it will carry a log weighing
400 pounds with a velocity greater than
the fastest engine that was ever made.
The log’s displacement just about fills
the V, without any more friction than
lecessary to keep it in place.
“About nine years ago I was up at
Lake Tahoe with E. W. Smalley and W.
H. Patton of the Mackey & Fair Lumber
Company. Patton was showing us the
sights. We had come up from Carson
City, sixteen miles, by stage, and it was
a hot and tedious ride. About sundown
Patton said: ‘Boys, we’ll go home by
the flume, and we’ll get there a little
quicker, I think.’
“He directed a man to bring out the
yacht, as he called it. This was aV
ahaped canoe about fourteen feet long,
very shallow, and made to fit the flume
and just about till it with the displace
ment of GOO pounds. The yacht had a
brake —two rubber pads on either side,
worked with a lever, and so applied
against the sides of the V flume that on
pressure it would lift the yacht gradually
and allow the lightning current to pass
under her. She also had two small rub
ber wheels, one on cither bow, to keep
her nose from grinding the sides of the
flume as she went by curves.
“‘Now, boys,’said Mr. Patton, ‘but
ton up your coats, tie down your hats,
and hold on. Don’t get scared. Trust
your lives to me for the next half hour.
I’ve sailed in this yacht before, and I
know she’s staunch.’
“There were three seats. Patton took
the front one, to handle the brake.
Smalley took the next one, and I took
the rear and worked the tiller. That
was rigged just like a ship’s rudder, with
a rubber wheel to ease oil her stern against
the side of the flume if she got to yawing.
Patton told his men to put on two inch
es more of water, and then, with a wave
of his hat, we weighed anchor. Great
Scott! how that thing jumped 1 Smalley
got seasick. I jammed my helm hard
down, but Patton yelled through the air,
‘Let her go; I’ve got her!’ And with
one hand on his brake, his hat crushed
down on his head, and his teeth set, he
looked the incarnation of courage. We
plunged down the mountain with a speed
that no steam could give. Trees flew by
like spectres. Looking ahead down the
narrow thread-like flume it seemed like
a plunge to destruction. Several times
the flume carried us over a high trestle.
It seemed like leaping over a precipice.
Smalley held bis breath, but the little
yacht jumped it through the air appar
ently with a swish. Curves would show
themselves ahead. The rudder wheel
would squeak on either side, and the
good ship would round the curve like a
flash. Sometimes an unevenness in the
flume would occur, and then, as the craft
sped over it, the spray would rise fifty
feet in the air.
“ ‘Keep on your hats!’ shouted Patton;
then, as we struck a straight five-mile
stretch, ‘Now hold on to your teeth.’
“I don’t exactly know what the next
sensation was, but I tried to peep out
from under the rim as my hat, and, my
soul, if was all a blur—trees, rocks, land
scape, were all mingled, in an indistin
guishable mass. It was as if one was
blown through the air fi-jm a catapult.
“Well, from the time w e weighed an
chor up at Lake Tahoe un.il Patton put
on his brakes just outside the lumber field
at Carson City it seemed like a minute or
two. We all looked at enr watches.
We had made just sixteen miles in eight
minutes and forty seconds. I never iu
all my life had such an illustration of the
force of water.”

“And are you glad to see me,B >bby?”
asked the bishop, on his semi-annual visit
to the parish.
“Oh, yes,” said Bobby, “be
cause we always have a good dinner
when you coinc. l.ut I didn't expect
you.”
“No.”
“No. I thought you’d go somewhere
else, ’cause ma said yesterday that it was
about time some other member of the
aburch oflered to entertain you. ” —A*. K.

Agriculture In Mexico.
Although the main business of the
country is agriculture, this branch of in
i dustry is earned on under exceptionally
I disadvantageous , ireumstances. One of
its greatest drawbacks is that the whole
country is divided up into emmer.se ha
cienda*, or landed estates; small farms
iK-ing rsrely known; and out of a popu a
tion of ten million or more, t!io title to
the soil is said to vest in not more than
six thousand persons. Some of these es
tates comprise square leagues instead of
I square acres in extent, and are said to
< have irrigating ditches font forty to fifty
I miles in length. Most of the land of
such estates are uncultivated, and the
water is waisted upon the remainder in
the most reckless manner. The titles by
which such properties are held are ex
ceedingly varied, and probably to a con
, siderable extent uncertain. Some canw
j from the old Spanish Government,
| through its viceroys; some from Mexico,
through its governors or political chiefs;
whi c over a not inconsiderable part of
all the good land of the country, the ti
tles of the Church, although not recog
nized by the Government, arc still, to a
certa n extent, respected. Added to all
this, there is a marked indisposition on
the part of the large owners of real estate
in Mexico to divest themselves of such
property; and this for various reasons.
Thus, in the heretofore almost perma
nently revolutionary condition of the
country, the tenure of movable or personal
property was the subject to embarrass
ments from which real estate, or immova
ble property, was exempt. Under the
system of taxation which has long pre
vailed in Mexico, land also is very light
ly burdened. And, finally, from what is
probably an inherited tradition from Old
Spain, the wealthy Mexican seems to be
prejudiced against investing in co-opera
tive (stock) or financial enterprises—the
railways, banks, and mines, in both Old
Spain and Mexico, for example, being to
day mainly owned and controlled by
English or other foreign capitalists.—

Teaching Deaf Mutes to Road.
Instruction is conveyed to deaf mutes
in most instances by the use of sign lan
guage, or the manual alphabet. The
foundation maxim of the methods used
is “first ideas, then words.” The mind
must be roused to activity, and, as the
foundation of knowledge which other
children acquire by the aid of hearing
are here wanting, progress is, of course,
very slow at first. Usually, instruction
is begun by the word method, words be
ing connected with the object they rep
resent. For instance, the child is shown
some common object, or a picture of an
animal, and the printed name of the ob
ject or animal is shown him at the same
time. He is thus taught to connect
names with their objects and to recog
nize printed words. When a few words
have been learned, sentences are framed,
and the child is taught to recognize
these as units embodying a complete
idea. The printed and the sign alpha
bets are taught together, and, when
those are mastered, instruction in spell
ing is not difficult. After names of ob
jects, their obvious properties, with nu
merals and verbs of action, are next
taught. The adjectives first brought
forward are those of size and color, then
prepositions of locality. The simple
tenses are exemplified by calling atten
tion to a series of actions. Much use is
made of contrast of ideas. A child of
10 or 12 years of age, if possessed of or
dinary intelligence, can usually, at the
end of a year, construct for himself sim
ple sentences about every-day affairs.
‘ During the first two or three years text
books prepared especially for deaf-mutes
are used, after that any text-books will
serve.— lnter Ocean.
Place to Pray.
The sudden disposition to stoop low
while seeking to avoid a shower of bul
lets is well understood by those who
have experienced the sensation. A West
ern Colonel, whose regiment at the time
| mentioned was well to the front acting
i as reserve and support to the picket line,
! found one evening upoft returning to his
j tent his new Chaplain, just come down
■ from the North. It being night, and no
other place at hand, the Colonel offered
his guest such hosp tali ties us his limited
quarters afforded, at the same time in
forming him that the position was not
without danger. The Chaplain accepted.
At early dawn the picket line was driven
in with a rush, the first notice being a
tornado of bullets crashing through and
splintering up things generally in the
tent. The Colonel involuntarily crawled
out, and as he did so shouted back to his
reverend officer, “Get down on your
knees, Chaplain!” That gentleman, not
; understanding the protection intended
by this suggestion, answered, “My God,
Colonel, you don’t expect me to pray
here, do you?”

Home.
BY ANNIE E. MYERS.
The home governs the world.
All social and moral laws of our com
mon civilization revolve around the home.
It is the school of social progress: Pub
lic opinion is the collective opinions of
ourhome.
Clear sighted reformers aim to direct
the power that rules the home. In acer-
I tain sense we are all reformers, we all
try to make the world better; some are
trying in one way, some in another; but
we should all begin at home.
Let the home be a cheerful, sunshiny
place. There let us find neatness anil
comfort. Above all, let us have always
good nature and means for improve
ment.
Home is the place for all the Ivcst
things; therefore don’t keep all your
cheerfulness for society, nor shut out all
the sunshine except when you have visi
tors. Cheerfulness and sunshine do not
cost anything, but withhold them and
you are a heavy loser.
It is not alone the housekeeper’s duty
to keep the home rooms neat and tidy;
each member of the family should assist
in it. There are a thousand ways of
keeping clean that saves a vast amount
of making clean. Anyone of refined feel
ing regards all labor to secure neatness a
labor of love and duty.
Did you ever hear that little fable of
the chairs? For fear you haven’t I’ll tell
it to you.
“Well,” said a straight-backed,
straight-legged chair to a cosy rocking
chair by whose side it chanced to be
placed, “before I would be such a drudge
as you are, I would be a stool; or, if
possible, something more insignificant.
People are not content with making you
nurse everyone, be they big or little, but
you must be continually rocking them to
and fro.”
“To be sure,” answered the little
rocking-chair, “ I am always busy and on
the go for the gratification of others;
but thereby have 1 won many friends,
and appear to be a great favorite with all.
j This pays me for all my trouble.”
The moral of this pretty fable is, that
; all who cheerfully and willingly do for
' others are the ones who gain most for
j themselves.
This is a most beautiful lesson to
utilize for home life.
One of the pleasantest and noblest
duties of the family is to furnish its mem
bers with good reading. In times that
are past, it was considered enough to
clothe, feed and shelter a family. But
now it is recognized as a fact that we all
have hungry minds to be satisfied.
They must be fed a healthy diet; they
want to be sheltered from the pitliess
storm of error and vice. An ignorant
family is a dark spot on our modern in
telligence.
Let good reading go into a home and
the very atmosphere changes. The boys
| begin to talk of men, principles, the
1 past and the future. The girls find open
j ing before them a new life of knowledge,
duty and love.
Out from that family will go intelli
gent men and women to fill useful and
honorable places in society.
| Let the torch of improvement be lit in
I every household. Let the young and the
■ old vie with one another in introducing
I new and useful topics of investigation
i and in cherishing a love for study and
advancement.
Such a home implants memories in the
heart that can never die. The rough
rubs of the world can never obliterate
them. Lives so formed arc the timbers
tiiat uphold the world.— Chicago Ledger.
Ohl Whimsicalities.
Dream of snakes sign of enemies.
Dreaming of muddy or rushing water,
brings trouble.
Finding a horseshoe or a four-leaved
I clover brings good luck.
If you cut your nails or sneeze on
; Saturday you do it “for evil.”
She who takes the last stitch at a
' quilting will be the first to marry.
If you cannot make up a handsome bed
; your husband will have an ugly nose.
If you spill the salt some one wilt be
! “mad” with you unless you put some in
■ the fire,
j Stub your right toe, you arc going
where you are wanted; your left, where
you are not wanted.
If the rooster crows on the fence, the
weather will be fair; if on the doorstep,
■ he will bring company.
If the first Sunday in the month is un
! pleasant, there will be but one pleasant
Sunday during the month.
If your right ear burns, some one is
praising you; if your left, your friends
are raking you over the coals.
Returning to the house for a moment
after having once started out will bring
i bad luck unless you sit down.
! When, in dropping a fork, it strikes
the floor ami stands upright, it will bring
I a gentleman visitor; if a knife, a lady.
While at the washboard, if the suds
\ splashes and wets the clothes you arc
I wearing, you will have a drunken hus
! band.
If a baby sees his face in the glass it
I will be the death of him. If his nails
are cut he will be a thief. If he tumbles
out of bed it will save his being a fool.
Break a mirror, sign of death. Death
, is also foretold by a dog howling under
a window; hearing a mourning dove, a
strange dove hovering about, or dreaning
of a white horse.
If you see the new moon through the
glass you will have sorrow as long as it
lasts. If you see it fair in the face you
will have a fall. Over the left shoulder
i bad luck—over the right good luck.
MileMoncs cn the Rond to Health.
The recovery of digestion, and the reHump
tion of activity by the liver, bowels and kid
' neys, are milestones which mark our progress
on the road to health. They speedily become
perceptible when Hostet ter’s Stomach Bitters
is used by the invalid. Nothing «o surely and
expeditiously consumes the distance to the de
aired goal. As no bodily function can suffer
interruption without pairing the the general
health of the system, so the syelem can never
acquire perfect vigor, health's synonym, until
that fund ion be actively resumed. Take, for
Instance, digestion, a suspension of which is
invariably rectifi *4 by the Bitters, if the or
gansupon which it devolve'- grow weak, bil
iousness, constipation, headache, poverty of

baneful general influence of dyspepsia. The

“ Papa," said a little sick girl whose
father had brought her a drink—“papa,
can't you get some fresh water? This

A little child was addressed by a gen
tleman the other day. "How old are
you my, dear? ”he asked. “Old,” said
the child, indignantly; “I'm not old nt

Said a parent to his little son who had
committed some net of indiscretion:
Do you know that 1 am going to whip
you?” "Yes,” said the boy, “I suppose
you are, because you are bigger than 1
am.”
A little boy asked his mother to talk
to him, and say something funny. "How
can I?” she asked. “Don’t you see lam
busy making these cakes? ” Well, you
might say,” answered young hopeful,
“ ‘Charley, won't you have a cake? ’
That would be funny for you.”
“Pa, what is ensilage?”—“Why—hem
—ensilage, my son, is—urn—ensilage is—
oh, something like mucelage; used to
stick things together, you know. There,
run away to play and don’t disturb me
now.” And that boy thinks his pa is a
very encycloptcdia of wisdom.
“Go into the room and bring that cake
off the table,” said a mother to her son.
“It’s too daik ; I’m afraid to go into the
room.” “Go into the room this instant
or I'll go in and bring out the strap.”
“If you bring out the strap,” replied the
boy, sobbing, “bring—the cake too.”
A little boy, on returning home from
church, was asked by his mother to give
the text. After a thoughtful pause, the
little fellow replied: “I don’t quite re
member, it but was something about a
hawk between to pigeons.” The text
was, “Why halt ye between two op
inions?”
A picture of happiness that, to out
ward appearances, leaves nothing to be
desired, is a small boy on roller skates,
and with a return-ball in his hands; yet
if the outside world could look into his
innermost heart, it is probable that a
yawning void about the size of a veloci
pede would be found.
The little fellow’ had been in the habit,
of going out with his nurse, and she had
a beau who was a ear driver. Naturally
she was generally carefid to take that
car, and the child knew her beau and all
about him. When they would pass that
car he always bowed and smiled, and the
maid would throw a kiss to him.
One day the boy was out with his mother
in the carriage, and suddenly he began
kissing his hand to somebody and smil
ing all over his face. “Whoisit, child?”
asked the mother. “Mamma, don’t you
see him? It’s Wilson. Why don’t you
kiss your hand to him ? Maggie does.”

A Practical Joke.
A writer in the Chicago Ledger, com
menting on his war experiences, relates
the following practical joke which was
turned to good account:
The weather was fearfully hot in Au
gust, 1802, w hen we w ere inarching from
Rolla to Springfield a green regiment,
never in battle. Now, after years of
| service, lam persuaded that there is no
[ man ever invented a better way to disci
pline a troop, and get them over the
“stage fright” of first onset, than our
good Colonel.
On going into camp one night upon
that march, the order was given “to sleep
upon our arms.” That wc understood to
mean an enemy in the neighborhood. It
did not promote sleep, 1 can assure you.
All sorts of imaginings were in our heads.
I We were going to be attacked.
Many of our boys had professed to
be very anxious to meet the enemy.
We noted that this anxiety was not near
so apparent that night. Indeed we
heard nothing of it. >
Wc slept by our guns. Wc were con
fident that in case of an attack wc could
literally “spring to arms.”
Sure enough about midnight the drums
beat to arms. The entire brigade was
ordered out.
What a scene ensued. Every man was
upon his feet in an instant. But there
were none eager for the fight. Here one
called; “Where is my cartridge box?”
Another: “Where are my shoes?”
“Strike a match boys, so 1 can find my
hat.” And so it went until we heard
the command, “Fall in line,” and we
obeyed, half scared out of our wits; and
there we stood ami quaked and wondered
how soon the enemy would begin firing,
expecting the leaden compliments every
moment. Had the enemy appeared then
we would have been powerless. But
drere was no enemy. This was a practical
drill put upon us to accustom us to just
such scenes, and it did what it was de
signed for. In a little time we sprang
from our beds(?) ready for the enemy and
trained to our work.
