You know how the road winds around Quertz Holl from Humbug to the Card?—it's a good five mile, mostly uphill. Well, I knew that I couldn't snake it that way, and as it was such a bright. moonlight night I thought that I would chance of d Ashuy's Trail over th'b hill, which isn't over two mile.

"I corned over it break o' day this ntornin', an'—" "Never mind," broke in Hastings. "I thought I could see well enough to keep out of .the holes and make pretty good time, but that old Trill's got an abandon- ed mine every fifty foot, and they run from ten to five hundred feet deep. I don't believe there is a curb or board over the whole blessed lot. Well, I was making good time enough until I came along to where I judged the Bob -tail Extension was—a good six hundred feet deep, if it's a foot— when I noticed that the sky was cloud- ing up. In about five minutes I felt a chilly gust of wind, and then it sudden- ly got blacker than a stack of black cats.

I could see father come in and band her the paper—the one I subscribed to for her when f first came here. I could see her dear old face flush with pleasure at the thought that she was soon to read a 'personal about 'Our gentlemanly and efficient express agent,' like they are always putting in out here. The dear old lady nervously feels about for her spectacles, which she can never find, where she has pushed them up on her forehead. At last she has them safely in front of her eyes, and has smoothed the ruffled gray hairs into Mace. She opens the papers and stares hard at the scare head: 'Stop Thief? Where is Edward Hastings, and whore, old where is tile Stage Co.'s $500?' I could see her read time infernal black letters in a dazed way —then the truth --the lie, the blank lie— gather up her bruised spirit and bear it away while her head is bowed in grief I And—and I could see myself in tbatd—d hole, mangled and bleeding! "I thought all this, and more, too, boys, A man lives a long time when he knows that lie has got to die the next minute. Then I felt my grip slowly relaxing. I commended my soul to God, shut my eyes, let go, and drop- ped!" The interest of his' listeners was in-- tenee now. Even Dan's hand shook a little as he took his pipe from between his lips,and Hastings' voice dropped al- most to a whisper. He paused a mo- ment, and added: "Dropped—just eighteen inches!" There was a dead silence for fully a half a minute; then Grasshopper Jim, "Cut Kansas," got up, slowly wiped his eyes with the back of hie baud, inspect- ed the baud critically for a mo- ment, amid as slowly wiped it down his boot leg, where tit left a long damp streak in its wake. Then he sat down again, looking fixedly at the express agent, and ejaculated amid the approving glances of every miner pre- sent: "Well, I call that timer a —d—d shame I" The S. T. 1860, X., bottle was passed from lip to lip, but mo motion was made to pass it on to Hastings until Dan re- covered enough to explain that time story was true in every particular—that Ink could vouch for the most of it. Hastings, in fact, had fallen into the Bob -tail Shaft, and the only reason he had fallen eighteen inches, instead of six hundred feet, was because in digging the mine the miners had found after going down about six feet' that they were some four feet to the left of the vein, and had simply "shelved" and gone on; and that morning,.as he was coming to work, he had found Hustings "meeting onto that shelf," too weak from fright to help himself out I Missouri Joe evidently had sifted the whole matter through his mind, and was not satisfied with the conclusion. "I sat -ay, Neddie," he drawled; "what did you do when you struck bottom? Did you finish that there prayer?" Ned colored guiltily as he replied : "Naw, you know I didn't finish the prayer. What do you suppose I did ?" "Jest cussed," suggested Joe. "Sure I" answered Ned,—Fred T. Cowles. Keeping Him in Remembrance, In an advertisement column of the Driburg Zeitung, the official organ of the borough of Driburg (Prussian West- phalia), appears the following : "At the commencement of my nine months' incarceration, I take time liberty of wish•. ing all persona living in Driburg and the surrounding district a loving farewell till I ret urn. Farewell ! I take up my residence on the 29th of March, 1894.— B. Meyer, Driburg." An editorial notice in the journal refers to time advertise - Mont as follows : "We learn from an advertisement in our columns to -day that Bernhard Meyor, on the 29th of March, begins his nine months' im- prisonment. On such an occasion, he says, he cannot refrain from wishing the inhabitants of Driburg and neighbor- ing region a hearty farewell. We do not hesitate to say that, in Meyer's thus leaving us for nine months it will be for his benefit, as well as for that of the community at large ; and it is our hope that he may, when he revisits us, be found a fit and proper member of society." A. The Good Roads Question. American people are beginning to real - lee something of the importance of good roads, but Maine, as well as most ether parts of the country, yet neglects one of the most efficient means of keep ing such ways in good repair—that of requiring heavy vehicles to use broad tires and axles of different length. thus converting ouch wagons into most effici- ent rolling machines. - They do these things better in many parts of Europe. Austria requires a2-ho'ee wagon to have tires four and one-half inches wide• France demands tires from three to ten inches wide for freighting and market wagons, the usual width being from four to six inches, and time rear axles are fourteen inches longer than the forward axles ; thus two feet of the road it roll- ed wherever time vehicle as used. The law of Germany says that wagons draw- ing heavy loads must have tires four and one-eighth inches wide, though gener- ally they are five inches, and is Switzer- land heavily -loaded wagons, to comply with the law, use tires six inotmes wide. In enlightened America, en the con- trary, we usually build up and grade dirt roads and then lot •narrow•tired freight wagons immediately cut them to pieces,—Lewiaton Journal. a4�1 ,E4RVPEi IN u +UR , HOW W4.1.-KNOWN6OCIETIf WO- MEN CROSS THE OCEAN, Every Known /Device It Ewployed and Thousands of Dollars Are Lavlahed to Deprive the Atlantic Trip of Old -Time Hardships—As Easy as Staying at Home.. Going to Europe nowadays for a soca- ety woman means nothing at all tire- some or troublesome. Mrs, Wiiliaut Astor has gone over twice a year for 20 years. Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt has crossed every spring, except the last two, for more than 15 years, and Mrs. Willy K. has been over so many times that she has stopped counting, and has to look in her journals to see, Mrs. Bradiey.Martire Mrs. Pierre Lorillard, Mrs. Orme Wilson, Mrs. Whitelaw Reid. Mrs. Ogden Mills, Mrs. Burke -Roche and Mrs, Cavendish Bentinck are among the 40 odd women of American society who take their yearly run over to the "other side" as regularly as they order their spring dresses, or occupy a box at the grand opera. Many American women prefer the opera in Loudon and Paris to that in New York, and are willing to "run over" just for the pleasure of a few nights of song. Dozens go over to at- tend wedding ceremonies, and it is far from an uncommon thing fur a party of several people to get together and cross the Atlantic for the purpose of a few day's shooting, or a coaching trip to some remembered or storied spot. The society women are willing to give up the luxury of a home boudoir and the ease of a home bed for so many trips over the ocean, speaks well for steamship management, and for the pos- sibility of comfortable life abroad, for without this there is nothing under heaven which would induce the pets of society to remain one night away from the comforts of home. Going to Japan used to have the ele- mentof hardship connected with it, and so nu society people ' went to Japan. Aud only recently has going to Egypt been made luxurious, while the trip to Palestine is yet fraught with enough that is uncomfortable to keep society people from attempting it very often. Now, these pets of society, Mrs. T. Suffern Tailer and the Willy Vunder- bilts, are in Japan and Egypt respective- ly. But simply going to Europe is so easily accomplished that, as I said, it means nothing at all—except money. And with American society even that is nothing at all. When a society woman goes to Europe she engages, or has some one else to engage, long in advance, a set of state- rooms. One of these is for her maid, and another is for a maid's assistant, who looks after the dresses and is sup- posed to stay well in case the maid her- self succumbs to sea sickness. All trunks are stored with them. The other staterooms are for the society lady's sleeping room, her dressing room and her parlor. Five staterooms will curry her through nicely ; or it they are large, four will uo, for the maids can sleep in the same room and trunks can be stack- ed a little. Before sailing a little army of people visit the steamer with all sorts of timings for my lady's comfort. • On the last day at the minute of sailing a dozen bottles of the freshest milk are brought .aboard and put away in the coldest spot where, every morning until it sours, time cream will be dipped off in a glass and taken to the stateroom as a morning tonic. It is recorded as quite a triumph of bot- tling and cooling that on a recent trip of an ocean greyhound the cream remain- ed sweet during the five days of the trip. About the morning bath, without which a society lady finds it difficult to be beautiful and comfortable, there are special arrangements made with tae ,stewardess, who keeps one of the doors leading to the ship's numerous bath- rooms locked until after it has suited the .convenience of her rich patroness to enter ; ur, upon call, there is a quantity of hot water taken to time lady s state- room and poured,into one of the port- able bath -tubs, without which few ven- ture away from home. These tubs are of rubber, and can be rolled up like a gossamer ; and, when filled, they are exactly like a tuo of metal, Arrange- ments for the bath are made before sail- ing, so that all is like clockwork after the voyage has begun ; and the lady of wealth who has to send metsnges here and messages there upon the first day of her trip in order to secure the comforts she desires is lighly disgusted with the management of affairs. A very comfortable couch is always placed in time little boudoir of a ship's suite, and it is draped with time steamer rugs which my lady carries, for it would be highly uncomfortable to re- cline upon a couch which many others had rested for many voyages. And, be- sides, all who have been on the sea will testify to the "dankiness" of everything which has Leen long in the sea air. This, while not unhealthful, gives one a very uncomfortable feeling ; and, as it can be avoided by the use of plenty of steamer rugs, it is never suffered by society people. who travel regardless of expense. Mrs. Bradley -Martin, who is said to be the most luxurious traveler who ever crosses time ocean, has always with her at least forty rugs of the heaviest and most closely -woven kind, so that when a rug becomes damp with the spray it can be put aside and a new one shaken out. It is a teal privation for a society wo- man to be deprived of her room decora- tions and not to have her daily bouquet. So, as money does all things for wealthy American ladies, this difficulty has beau nearly overcome. And there are flowers for time journey. A New York florist has obtained a kind of vase which is quite inexpensive, very light and highly decorative. It is just the thing for Stateroom decorations, because it can be thrown away at Queenstown without feeling that a work of art has been sacrificed, When this florist—who, by the way, has all the orders of swelldom —gets an order to trim a stateroom par- lor, he places many of these vases in the corners, and even wires them on the wall with green brackets under them, covering the wires with vines, which are thrust out of the port -holes as if they had grown that way themselves. The vase, having non -odorous flowers in then, can remain in the little parlor several days, and it orchids and non- acentei flowers grow in them, they can be left in place throughout the trip ; while the vines, not haeing the roots in water, dry a little, and do net become dieagreeabie in time closeness. So, after the start has been made time portholes are cleared a little by my lady's maid and the flow ere of the scented sort—such as friends always send—having been thruwn'.nwayy, trta atut recut ' a4ol• .re ' mains very » nt}iitul, Mise Iw,ritiard aimwhye traveled Wali, affil niDty ;.,blit she "iq Mrs. 1, Sufiarn '.faller, Idle has Many pretty and luxuri- ous ways •of traveling which ahm las in- vented during the almost a year of wed- ding fuminthesg;, Otte of e is to have a little outfit of things—rugs, Pictures, tables and chairs-- exactly like her boudoir at home, This she takes with her, as it is all foldable and easily portable, and as soon as aboard ship her maid arranges things. apd there is at once an at-home appeerence. A little ice chest, a chafing -dish out- fit, a writing table that can be opened out into orthodox shape, and a hamper of afternoon tea cakes, fine tea, extra coffee and preserved and spiced fruit make a snug culinary and luncheon equipment. Many society ladies of New York go to Europe with precisely these timings. Frequently ladies, despite their fre- quent trips across, are poor sailors, and for the voyage they have finely -woven woolen suits, which are thrown away or given to time stewardess at time close of the voyage, as nothing that has odors of the salt water is agreeable afterward. For each crossing there is a now woolen suit, and fine sets of all -wool undergarments are ape:Reny provided and ruthlessly sacrificed in the same w Many ladies suffer to such an extent from mal -de mer that they are willing to do anything to avoid the uncomfor- table sickness. These have hammocks swung ' in their great staterooms, and with arrangements at head and foot for keeping the hammock inosition, so that no matter what the rollinglof the ship,, there will only be time swing of the hammock and a slight rising and falling. The Carnegie-Blaine-Damroech parties always travel with plenty of these com- fortable equipments ; and they have be- sides very large steamer chairs that fold flat, and French bed arrangements that yield easily to the spriug of the boat. Several of the ladies have wheel chairs. All the ladies of the party are bad sailors, and so there goes a great deal of "medi- cine" along to ward off the terrors of an unusually bad night. Neurly.all the ladies of the Four Hun- dred travel abroad with a case or two of champagne, which is taken as mnediciue, and is specially cooling and soutuiug to those not accustomed to its use. The steward cures for the wine, and has it cooled to exactly the non-irritant tem- perature. Ts.ere are many restrictions to ordi- nary passengers aboard ship, but those who.lmate the golden key can unlock all doors lending to absolute comfort and do-as-you-wantivenees. The entire ship's stuff, from the captain down, are tipped veru well, and all nice things aro pro- vided. The steamer which brought over the body of William Astor two years ago was filled with the member -e of the Astor family and rich friends, and the chance passengers assert that never did they enjoy a voyage more, de- spite time sadness of some of the voya- gers. it is pleasant to watch the vagaries of people who are tryitmg to spend the interest on $60,000,000 a year; and no one complains at loss. attention. A ship devoid of millionaires is as unin- teresting as a town with only co tuition folk n it, Thereims as much rivalry among those who cross often to invent new ideas for making time trip pleasant as there is to get up new entertainments on land. It is hard enough to sail iu a comnmom ves- sel when there are others who are yacht- ing in their own yachts across the At- lantic without stoking to rho common- place by falling into ruts of monotony for the five yr six days out. In short, going to Europe for the so- ciety women means only a few drays away from their horses,u few days away from ball-roomns. a few days w hen there are no formalities of society to be eta served, but iu no other fray need she realize that she is away from terra firma and her palace home. Au ocean greyhound is a palace afloat for arose who have the fortune to command the best it contains.—AUOUSTA PRESCOTT. Arrriculture in Britain. British agricultural returns for 1893 show time remarkable fact that during last year some 150,000 acres of land in Great Britain were withdrawn from cultivation and turned into pasture. This is spoken of as an "actual abandon- ment of cultivation" of this area. The main point deducted is that Great Britain is rapidly•ceasnng to be a wheat - producing country. Comparing the pre- sent wheat area with that of 1873 the decline is 1,800,000 acres. The returns also show that fruit farming and marlcet gardening are largely increasing. In 1893 there were 65,487 acres in this kind of cultivation as against 62,148 acres in 1892. Argument has been largely made of late that if English farmers would give timely attention to truck -farming and fruit raising they might retrieve their almost muined fortunes. They can- not compete with America and India in wheat -growing, and they lose more money every year. At the same time immense quantities of fruit, vegetables, butter, cheese, eggs, and even milk are imI orted from abroad. Butter and eggs come•in shiploads even front as far as Australia. Last year butter, cheese, and eggs alone to time value of £25,820,- 000 were imported into Great Britain. The economists aro seeking to learn why this splendid income cannot be secured for English pockets.—New York Sun. Mrs. (tooth ou Woman Suffrage. Mrs. Ballingtou Booth's opinions on woman suffrage are interesting for she knows quite as muco about women, good anti bad together, as anybody in time country. She believes that even the lowest class of women would bring a certain salutary influence to the ballot. for among the worst there is a certaiu sense of justice, a respect for time right which is not common in the same class of men. In the matter of punishment for crime, Mrs. Booth spoke very strongly of the influence she believes woman's vote will exercise—not to lighten her proud ties, but to inflict equal retribution upon the man for the same transgression. She was, however, emphatic against much of the suffrage talk which belittles man. It is, she declares, against all progress, it de- grades the idea of womanhood, for the noblest, highest type seeks only to stand side by side with time noblest, highest manhood. It is not a strife for prece- dence. Mrs. Bootle also said that while she felt sure in many ways it would be an advantage to women to have the bal- lot, it would also involve a greit waste of time, since they will be obliged to .;omrsider so many subjects and give their attention to ma) many purely political is- sues that only in a remote way concern women. "But in spite of all tliis," sh® said, "I hold for woman's suffrage. It will counteract the saloon vote; women will not put immoral men into positions of power."—Buffalo Express.

Not long ago there was a farmer who used to come to town every week. This man had two dogs, one a big potiter'ful mastive who used to guard the premises while the farmer was away, and the other a bright little terrier that always rode to market on the seat with his master.,One day when the farmer stopped aa house on the way to deliver some vegetables a large dog rushed out of the yard and seized the little terrier by the neck and would have killed him but for the timely interference of his master. The nest day, when a mile or so on l y, his wary to town, the farmer discovered that his big dog. was following the the wagon. He ordered him back, but the dog would not obey ; he cut him with his whip, but still the dog re- mained resolute. Finally the farmer gave ;t up and continued on his way. Wilda they came to the scene of the conflict of ,the previous day, the same large dog flew out again to attack the little one. Whereupon the big.. dog, who had concealed himself under the wagon to await develo ernents, fell upon the enemy with such fury that it was with difficulty he could be restrain- ed from putting an end to him alto- gether.
