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.” Agreeably I) sappointod. “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. Sun. The city of Mexico has fifty bakeries and 1,598 places for the sale of intoxi ta-'its, including 817 shops where the popular pulque is sold. This beverage ras about the same potency as lager beer, “u u regarded as a tonic and blood •taker. 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.— Popular Science Monthly. 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?” Innocent Childhood. “Tain’t so,” triumphantly exclaimed Bobbie from his perch on top of a chair, j gazing down on Algernon’s head. “What is not true,” doubtfully asked ■ his sister Maud.

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 the blood, and a hundred other hymptorns su pervene. which indicate unmiM akably the baneful general influence of dyspepsia. The disappearance of ail these symptoms through th-use of the Bitters, show with what thor * it removes their cause. Juvenile Jokes. The time to take an unruly lot of chil dren out on a sail—when there is a - breeze. “ Papa," said a little sick girl whose father had brought her a drink—“papa, can't you get some fresh water? This tastes withered.” 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 all; I'm quite new 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.” Chicago Ledger. I .... . 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. The only cough mixture before the people that contains no opiates or narcotics is Red Star Cough Cure.
