It Ran From Kansas to California In Thirty-five Days. ",Atchison to California in thirty-five days; fare, only $200 in gold." This was the heading of an old hand- bill, yellow with age, which a traveler laid upon the counter in a railway tick. et office the other day. It was au ad- vertisement of a line of stagecoaches that ran from Atchison, Kan., to San Francisco during the gold excitement of years ago, "People seldom stop to think what their poor ancestors had to put up with in the old days," the man said. He was comparing the old time table with a modern railway time table, which told of the luxuries one could have by traveling on that road, no dust, no jar- ring and all other disagreeable fea- tures eliminated. The old time table was a double sheet of paper, torn and yellow with age. It was issued by the Atchison and California stagecoach line in 1857. The inducements it -held forth were in strange contrast with those of the modern railroad advertisement. The stagecoach line advertised that it had receutly refurnished the entire "road" with absolutely new wagonettes, and it told what kind of coaches they were, how the springs were made and of what strength they were. It even said that the coaches were painted iu the "best manner possible." The horses that drew the coaches were described, too, as the best. Au inducement that was held out on the time table to prospective passen- gers was a stop over privilege. "Passengers who had paid their en- tire fare from Atchison or other points to their destivatlon," the paper said, "may register with our agents. .A. stop over privilege is then given for any place on the road." The time of the stop over was un- limited. The time table provided that a passenger might resume the journey whenever there was an empty seat in the stagecoach, "We make quicker time to Califor- nia than any other stagecoach line and at a cheaper rate," the pamphlet stat- ed. It went on to say that for $200 a person could ride all the way from Atchison, Kan., to the gold fields of California. "The distance is 1,013 miles," was stated on the time table, "the longest distance- ever attempted by a stage- - coach line. Atchison to California in thirty-five days. A boast was made that there were twelve telegraph stations on the road to California and that eating places bad been established along the road where good semis could be had at the nominal price of $3. Every passenger was allowed twenty-five pounds of bag- gage, consisting of wearing apparel and other necessary baggage. All over that amount must be paid for at a rate of 50 cents a pound. It was advertised that the risk on the return trip was very great on ac- count of the amount of gold dust ,and nuggets being brought back from Cali- fornia. The company employed only the bravest men, fully armed all the time. But it declined to carry gold dust unless paid for at the rate of $3 a pound. The company refused to be held responsible for the loss of the gold dust by robbers, Indians or other means. The pamphlet also advertised a fast freight line between Atchison and Den- ver. The round trip was made in the short space of twenty days. To ship by this method all merchandise bad to be wrapped hi waterproof packages. A. package weighing ten pounds could be sent by that route for $5. All over that weight was sent at the reduced rate of $2 for five pounds. In its advertisement for passengers to California the pamphlet, as stated before, allowed every passenger twen- ty-five pounds of baggage. However, it advised that as many persons wish- ed to take more baggage than the weight limit it would be safer to send it to California by sea. "And to think that we can get on a train tonight and be in Denver tomor- row," the railroad man said as ho com- pared the tine tables. Mistook Scripture For Science. They were passing one of the Fifth avenue churches when the bulletin board caught her eye. "The Rev. Dr. - wilt speak this evening on Deuter- onomy." She stopped short and care- fully read it a second time. "Well," she snapped, "I wish these preachers would stick to the Bible and let science alone. I don't believe Dr. - knows any more about Deuteronomy or as- tronomy or any other onomy than I do." Used to It. After asking a great many questions of a lady a barrister felt that some aiiology wast necessary, so he remark- ed, "I realty hope I don't annoy you with all these questions?" "Not at a'lI," answered the lady quiet- ly. "I'm used to it. I have a six-year- old son:'•• A Nice Distinction.

To remove a porous plaster quickly and painlessly use an application of al- cohol. To cleanse linoleum first wash in cold tea, then polish with linseed oil. To slip the rod of a freshly starched curtain into place dampen the hem. In sewing on buttons put a pin across the top and allow the thread to pass over it each time, after which remove the pin, pull the button toward you and wind the thread under It a few times, then end the thread. To remove shine from black cloth rub with a piece of flannel dipped in tur- pentine. If cooked meat is ready for the table before it is required, place in a dish and set over a pan of boiling water placed on the back of the range and cover with a cloth. The steam will keep the meat hot without drying it or drawing the juices out. A white kitchen floor is obtained only by the use of cold water and soap. Hot water and washing powders tend to yellow the boards. Robber corset laces used in place of tape or elastic in boy's blouses arc much cheaper and stronger than the common elastic. Rub stain on hands made from vege- tables with tomato. If out of season, use a little canned tomato. This is bet- ter than lemon. The tender leaves and small ends of celery should never be thrown away. It dried they are found excellent for flavoringsoups. In making a meringue for pie if pow- dered sugar is used In place of granu- lated the meringue will not be watery. ON HOME NURSING. Cleanliness and Pure Air of Prime Im- portance to Invalids. The first rule in nursing, the first es- sential to the patient, without which all else you do is as nothing, is to keep the air he breathes as pure as the ex- ternal air without chilling him. Always have the window of your pa- tient's room open, but not a window on a passage just outside, The best betiding is an iron bedstead, n hair mattress, no curtains or val- ance, very light blankets for a cover- ing, as weak patients are always dis- tressed by weight of bedclothes. Cleanliness of the skin in almost all diseases is of the utmost importance. Care should be taken in sponging or washing not to expose too great a sur- fface at once so as to check perspira- tion. Never allow a patient to be waked out of sleep either intentionally or ac- cidentally, as this does serious harm. Do not whisper or walk on tiptoe, as this Is peculiarly painful to the sick. Remember never to lean against, sit upon, shake or even touch the bed up- on which your patient lies. This is al- ways an annoynnce. Do not talk to your patient while he is taking his meal. Weak Women To weak and ailing women, there is it least one way to help, But with that way. two treatments, must be combined. One U local, one is constitu• Vonal. but both are Important, both essential. Dr. shooD's Night Cure is the Local. Dr. Shoop's Restorative, the Constitutional The former -Dr. Elhoop's Night Cure-isa topical glaucous membrane suppository remedy. while Dr: Bhobp's Reiterative is wholly an internal treat - bent. The Restorative reaches throughout the entire system seeking the repair of all nerve, 011 tiaue, and all blood ailments. The Night Cure". as Its name hnplies, does its work while you sleep. It soothes sore and intim. ed mucous surfaces. heals local weaknesses and Atscharges, while the Restorative, eases nervous excitement, gives renewed vigor and ambition builds up wasted tissues, bringing about renewed It,ength, Tiley. and energy.

As ladies are among the most enthu- siastic devotees of the new pursuit of ballooning, it is interesting to learn that fashionsobtaiu even soaring In the clouds. One Is Informed that lady balloon- ists' dresses should be made of gaber- dine, slimber or loden cloth; that the fashionable color is green and that the coat, which is lined with fleece or silk, should be short, with two breast pock- ets, two cross pockets and two hand rests for keeping the hands warm. The skirt Is adjustable -that Is, can be drawn up or let down by cords. A. ballooning cap, a slip-on waterproof, Canadian mitts and dark brown boots complete the outfit. Darning Table Linen. To darn table damask use a raveling from the cloth. If there Is an actual hole, put under it a piece of the same damask, matching the pattern to a thread. Then darn backward and for- ward with the raveling. If the work is done right, the patch will not show after laundering except by careful scrutiny. In the past skin in such needlecraft was considered a neces- sary accomplishment for the "finished young lady." Veal Fricadellen. Chop finely some cold veal and a lit- tle cooked ham, mix with it a few breadcrupabs, a little lemon peel and season with pepper, salt, mace and a small quantity of chopped parsley. Moisten with milk and then form in- to little balls. Dip in egg, roll in breadcrumbs and fry till brown. Heat a little gravy saved from joint, pour around balls and serve garnlehed with parsley and lemon. Learned by Experience.
