Tho New York Graphs informs ns
that “Jesus Waldonado, a ranchman, is
dend fit Vera Cruz,Mexico, at the un

pall bearers nt his funeral were three
sons, aged 140, 120 and 109 years. 1 hey

The Ritiluay Aye »nyn-. "It is probable
that the number of miles of new road
constructed in the United States during
1887 will bo about 12,000. This figure
is the greatest on record. It has never
been approached except in 1882, when
the total was 11,508 miles. Track-laying
for 1887, up to September I, aggregates
0,402 miles. Kansas still continues far
in the lead over the other States in the
work of railway construction.”

’ The Americans living in Paris held a
mcc ing on the evening of the day when
some of them had gone to decorate La
fayette’s grave, and passed resolutions to
the effect that a proper return for the
gift of Bartholdi's stature would be a
statue of Washington, or of Washington
and Lafayette, to be offered to the French
]>eople and to be set up in Paris April
30, 1889, the centennial of the day when,
thanks to the assistance given by France
and Lafayette, our first President took
the oath of oilice.
A speaker before the Association for
the Advancement of Science gave a criti
cism upon American living. He said:
“To the rule that those who most need
to economize buy the cheapest food, the
dietary practices of the people of the
United States evince marked excep
tions, in that."many, "even among those
who desire to economize, use needlessly
expensive kinds of food. They too often
endeavor to make their diet attractive by
paying high prices in the market rather
than by skillful cooking and tasteful
serving at home."
Mr. ('. O’B. Cowardin, the editor of
the Kiehmond (Va.) l>inpate/i, has re
ceived from the United States Govern
ment $3, wages due him as “No. 5.”
The Kiehmond S/afr explains that some
time ago there was a vessel in distress off
Cobb's Island. The captain of the life
station ordered out a life boat, but he
needed one. man to complete the crew.
His call for volunteers was answered by
Mr. Cowardin, wh > performed the duty
of “No. 5,” and was known ns “No 5.”
As “No. 5” knew what he was about,
the ship was reached and saved.

Efforts for special education in agri
culture are gaining ground in public
esteem all over the world. We notice in
a London exchange that the Lords ot
the Committee of Council on Education
have directed that the title of the office
of Lecturer in Agriculture, held by Pro
fessor Wrightson, in the Normal School
of Science and Koyal School of Mines,
should lie altered to that of Professor in
Agriculture. This happily raises agri
culture in respect to status among the
other branches of education conducted
under the Committee of Council on Edu
cation.
Between French Guiana ami Brazil is
a region of 100,I'll * square miles, contain
ing 00,000 inhabitants, whose ; o-session
hasbovu contested for two hundred years.
Fnmco claims it on one hand, Br .zd on
the other, and all because of an incom
prehensible clause in the treaty of
Utrecht. Neither Fiance nor B aril has
ever dreamed of taking possession of this
territory, either by force or by arbitra*
tion-of a friendly nation. 'I he principal
ceiiUx-of population in this country is
Counani, which has about 359 inhabi
tants and will soon be the capital of a
uew Republic. A short time ago the
Counanians proclaimed the inde|>cndcnce
of their country, and chose for President,
M. Jules Gros, a venerable Frenchman,
who has explored the banks of the
Amazon. M. Gros lives near Paris, and
there he received the news of his ap
eritif fhich he accepted.
TRAVELING BY CARAVAN
THE PRINCIPAL MODE OF TRANS
PORTATION IN PERSIA.
Camels, Mules and Donkcya Used in
Pilgrimages ami Trade —How
Persians lllde-Tbo “Tsliappar.’ j
For Americans, the most progressive
nation, it must be hard to conceive a
ountry absolutely without progress, a
country where the ways of 4,000 years
ago are the ways of to-day. “Suchacoun
try is Persia," says W. Von Schicr-Brand -
in the New York (,'ommerrial Adeertuter.
The muscles of the quadruped ami the I
muscles of the biped arc the only engines
>f locomotion known there. The caravan,
such as described in the tab s of the one
eyed calendar, is still the all important
means of communication, the caravan
with its chief guide, its camel, mule and .
donkey drivers, its manifold dangers, I
its slowness ami patriarchal habit*.
Caravans in Persia arc of all sizes and
kinds, depending very much on the route
to lie traveled over, and on the sea-on.
The largest caravans arc those made up I
of pilgrims to Mecca and to Meshed. !
The trip to Mohammed's tomb and back ;
is calculated to consume six months, ami
one caravan starts each year to Persia,
varying in size from 10,000 to 70,000. It
is a dangerous journey at the best, ami
there is good ami substantial reason, be
sides religious enthusiasm, to accord
special honors and the honorary cog- ■
nomen “hadjee” to every one who has
braved its perils. Out of every five pil
grims who start out for Mecca not more
than two return. The others have died
by the roadside from heat, disease or
under the daggers of robbers. The pil
grims to Mesbed are, however, much
more numerous than those who
try to win foreigners of their
sins by a visit to the prophet’s
grave. At Meshed, a large town in the
northwestern extremity of Persia, is the
gorgeous silver shrine of Imam Kcz.n, a
saint, ranking next to the prophet him
self in Persian estimation. During good
years the concourse of pious strangers in
Meshed mounts up to a quarter of a mil
lion in numbers. The caravans who go
there arc generally well guarded by an
escort of troops and a couple of mounted
guns, a needful precaution, ns these
thousands of pilgrims carry a good deal
of valuable property ami money with
them, and used to be the prey of roving
bunds of Turcomans from the deserts
adjoining Khornssan, Unit being the
province in which Meshed is located.
Os course, these caravans are excep
tions. For the common purpose of every
day life, such as trade espeei dy,
caravans of all sizes are constantly on
their way between all the principal towns
of the vast monarchy. Os necessity,
these also travel slowly.
While the camel is used exclusively as
a beast of burden, the mule and donkey
are made to serve for riding purposes ns
well, though only for the aged, the
women and the priests. The horse now,
as in the time of Xerxes, is the insepara
ble companion of the well-born Persian.
When a man is very old and feeble he
has a servant trudging beside his steed,
leading him by the reins safely over all
unevenness in the path. Even fin ill
boys of six ride on horseback when they
are away from home. The women ride,
ns ■•aid before, on donkeys, or else either
by ‘‘Kedshaweh” or by “takhterava'i.”
the latter is a species of sedan chair,
carried by two mules, one in front and
one in the rear. It is not. the most
pleasant sort of locomotion, and to those
unaccustomed to it the continued : hak
ing produced by the uneven tread of the
two animals has a similar effect to sea
•sickness. Still, habit is everything, and
the wives of well-to-do Persians almost
invariably choose this method of trans
port rather than any other. The “Ked
shaweh” is an institution affected only
by the wives and daughters of the poor.
It consists of a brace of baskets, one
hanging down from each side of an ass
or mule, large enough for a woman to sit
in a crouching position, with her knees
drawn almost under her chin. The two
baskets are thus evenly balanced, and
the empty one usually serves to hold the
baggage of the female traveler cooped
up in the other.
Besides by caravan there is another
method of traveling in Persia. That is
by “tshaiqiar" or post. The great Ameer
Nizam, the ablest statesman Persia lias
produced during the last century, was
the originator of tshappar. He caused a
network of postal stations, called “tsliap
par khanes,” to be erected along the
principal roads leading to the capital.
These stations are situated at convenient
distances, say an average of twenty miles
from each other, and each is presided
over by an officer, who lias charge of the
dozen or so of tough nng» furnished by
the government, and which can be
hired by travelers at so much per mile.
These postal stations nre always small
ami unpretentious buildings, devoid of
every comfort, and vouchsafing abso
luely nothing but inadequate shelter to
the tired traveler. The horses, too, are
brutes of low degree and devoid of pedi
gree, such mongrels, in fa t, ns are
known in the country as “yaboo” (hick). '
The discomforts to be encountered while
traversing the country by tshappar are j
many and serious, and none but an iron
constitution will bear them without
danger to life and limb. But for all that.
Europeans always prefer to go by tshap
par in Persia, ns being less objectionable
and certainly much more expeditious ;
than caravan travel.
As to thecaravanscrics, those primitive
hostelries erected for the accommodation
of persons traveling by caravan, they
are all more or less in ruins and decay.
The present Shah has not caused to be
built nor replaced a single one of these
structures, scattered liberally over the
vast surface of the co ;ntry. The best
ones extant, even to day, are those which
Abbas the Great erected 300 years ago.
While some of the latter are architect
urally very fine, resembling palaces from
a distance, they have long ago been de
spoiled of every object tending to afford
some comfort to the many travelers,
and are bare of everything like furniture. '
The wells near a great many of them
having dried up in the course of cen
turies, some of the most gorgeous of:
these caravanseries are now practically
u<elcss.

WINE ’JORDS.
Rebuke with soft words and hard v
gumcDts.
The friendship of the artful is mere
self hit' rest.
Never think that you can make your
self great by making another less.
Let him who regrets the loss of time
make prop" uscol that which is to come
in the future.
Many lose the opportunity of saying a
kind thing l y wailing to weigh the
matter too long.
What men want is not talent, it is
ptirpo-c; not the power to achieve, but
tlie will to labor.
Ideas gciiciate ideas; like a potato,
which, cut in pieces, reproduces itself in
a mutilated form.
No fountain is so small but that
heaven may be imaged in its bosom.—
N'lthaniil Il'tvthorne.
Opportunities arc very sensitive things.
If you slight them on their first visit
they seldom come again.
Feelings come and go like light troops
following the victory of the present; but
principles, like troops of the line, arc un
disturbed and stand fast.
Our affections arc like our teeth; they
make us sutler while they are coming,
after they have come, and when we lose
them. They arc not the less the simile
of life.
Bull vs. Bicycle.
There arc many instances on record
where men's lives have been saved by
speedy horses, but, possibly, the first in
stance in which the treacherous looking
bicycle has figured as a life saver oc
cuired at Stanford, Ky., the past week.
Dr. W. B. I’enny, of that place, is a
typical Kentuckian, over six feet tall,
and built in proportion. The Doctor
makes a specialty of pulling teeth, and
uses his wheel—a fifty-six-inch sky
semper—in making his visits. Onecven
ing recently he made a call several miles
fb in town, and was delayed until nearly
dark. He started home, however, after
lighting his hub lantern. He hud pedaled
along serenely two or three miles over
the smooth Stanford pike, thinking of
supper, wiien suddenly he heard a com
motion in his rear. Glancing back, 1/
was startled to see a mad bull, with he®
down and tail erect, charging at hit”
with full speed. The red side lights f
the lantern ba I roused the bovine's iizj|
anil he had determined to annihilate it,
There was no time to think Grasping
his handles firmly the 1 oetor bent hi.iv.-
scif to business, and pedaled as he nc'Atr
pedaled I efore. Faster and faster went
the light m thine, but closer came the
infuriated i nil. Straining every neijm
the Doctor pulled himself up u hf*
knowing that once up he could gain upth
his bloodthirsty pursuer, and possilU
escape. A slipped pedal or a heaitor
meant death, ai d he knew it. I’ut strut
legs an 1 a s out machine gained the v’;-
tory, and the hill top was reached w*.i.
the bull not over thirty feet behind. ]mt
the Doctor knew he could quickly const
away from his enemy on the declivity
before him, and throwing his tired legs
over the bundle bars, he rapidly drew
away and left his pursuer. The race was
only three-quarters of a mile, and did
not last much more than two minutes,
but it seemed miles and hours long to
the man on the wheel. Courier-Jourii I.
Saratoga Chips.
“Do Saratoga chips come from Sara
toga?" inquired a Mail mid Express re
porter of a New York grocer.
"Not much,'’ said the grocer. "They
arc made in this city, and many are'
shipped to Saratoga. But if you want
to know all about them just go up to the
b akery and see how they nre made.”
At the bakery it was learned that the
concern has a monopoly of the business
in this city, and that there are only three
makers of Saratoga chips in the counf.y.
( hips are an Ameriian institution, and
nre not known aboad save fur some sn: ill
lots that have bi cn exported. The pro
cessor manufacturing is in part a secret.
The potatoes are peeled and slued by
machinery. They arc washed and dried
bi tween muslin clothes. If they were
now fried the amount of starch that they
contain would make them brown, and
the secret of the business is to remove all
of tlie starch, so that the ehips will be
perfectly white. When this is done they
are put into tlie hot grease, andcoiueout
curled and crisp and with the delicious
flavor that has made them famous the
world over. Said the manager:
"We use seventy-five barrels of pota
toes a week, keep seven bakers at work,
and have three wagons out deliv ring.
Hotels take them by the barrel,
restaurants take them in twenty-tive
pound boxes, and for grocers to serve to
private families we put them up in one
pound cartons. The dining cars on
nearly all the railroads use them, and we
have sent some to England. Cities as
far away as Jacksonville, Florida, and
San Francisco send to us for Saratoga
chips. They will keep for three months.
A few minutes in a hot oven makes them
as crisp as though they were just
fried.”

When Giris Should Ride.
A well known riding master insists
that girls should not be taught to ride
until they are ten years old, because
they are weak in the spine when weak at
all. But stout, active boys can bi* put
into the saddle ns soon as they are strong
enough to hold on.— lbn-per't Bittar.

Mu Men Cholera Cure.
Eiitht rears of careful experiment and pains
-1 skinit research have resulted in the discovery
ofan infallible specific for the cure and pre
vention of that most fatal and dreaded enemy
of the feathered tribe -Cholera. After the
fullest and fairest tests possil; c, in which even
claim for the remedy was fullv substantiated,
fio remedy was placed upon the market, and
everywhere a single trial Ims been all that wa«
required to prove it a complete success. -Iho
directions for its use are plain and simple, and
tlie cost of the remedy so small that the saving
of a single fowl will repay the expense. Its
effect is almost magical. If the remedy is
elven as directed, the course of the disease is
stopped at once. Given occasionally as a pre
ventive, there need be no fear of Cholera,
which annually kills more fowls than all other
lUscasescombined. It is true to name, a Cer
tain Cure lor Chicken Cholera. No ponltry
raiser or farmer can afford to be without it. It j
will do all that is claimed for it. Head the fol
lowing testimonial :
STATE OF GEORGIA,
DEPAtITStEX-T OF AoIUCULTVBE,
Atlanta, Ga.. March 19, 1887
To the Public : The high character of the
testimonials produced by Mr. Dodge, together
with his well known reputation for truth ana
veracity, afford convincing evidence of the
high value of the Chicken Cholera Cure ho is
now offering upon the market. If I were en
gaged in the business, I would procure a bot
tle of his medicine, little doubting the success
that would atteud its administration.
