Fast Trains.

The Harrisburg State Journal, in
some wellconsidered remarks upon the
through trains on railroads, recon-
mends all who are obliged to travel to
say their prayers and prepare for eter-
nifty. 1t says;
It's all for money. We are so used to
these murders that no one is now dis
turhed by their occurrence, unless he
loses friend or relative, when again
the money greed comes in, and before
word of sorrow is expressed at soul
being hurried into eternity, the issue is
at once Joined in a suit for damages, for
money TO replace a human life. With
all our boasted civilization, there 10 a
brutality in all this which we fail to dis
cover in the organic law of barbarians.
And we are going from bad to worse.
Defective machinery, ignorant manage
ment, cupidity, greed and foul corrup-
tion, joined to fast lines, are doing their
work. And there, is no power strong
enough to regulate the evil. Railroad
have passed beyond the
reach of the people, They are conducted
on the through, fast lightning principle,
with which ordinary government cannot
keep pace and against which mere COM
munities have not the power to offer re-
sistance. The only way for people todo
is to make up their minds to be murdered
when they travel, and as they insure
their bodies, so prepare their souls to
die.

Sea Air-who Is Benented by II.

~
Sea air oftentimes exercises most bene-
fetal effects, where sea bathing would
be equally injurious lis3 4 A9 NJ
That residence at the seaside is
generally healthy can not be doubted,
from the fact that, even during the most
sultry heat of summer, the air is con-
stantly in motion. 1t is, moreover, free
from fogs and yapor, and the particles
OF salt with which the air is impreg-
mated greatly tend to lend tone to the
system. 1t is particularly beneficial in
cases Of disposition to consumption and
scrofula, intense nervous susceptibility
evinced by hysteria, and such like ner-
vous affections, disarrangement Of the
BRONCHIAL organs, dyspepsia and like
complaints, which are much more rare
on the sea coast than in the inland parts
Of the country. The exhilarating inhu-
ence of the sea air is proved by the fact
that those who indulge in extra quanti-
ties of wine and spirits for the purpose
OF maintaining comfortable condition
of constitutional force for the discharge
OF business, are able to dispense with
the same when at the sea side, the ex-
citement produced by fermented liquors
being compensated by increased appe-
tite, induced by the extra amount of air
and exercise taken. The rosy, healthy
appearance of the face after sea SC
journ is greatly attributable to particles
of salt adhering to the skin and exciting
to action the capillary blood vessels and |
cutaneous nerves. In word, feebleness
of the constitution and an impaired state
of health are generally indicated by |
pallor and fabbiness, upon which con-
dition the action of the salt water eyer
cises more influence than even change
OF temperature, as it acts powerfully |
upon the muscular fiber.

John put ball through the Indian s
head, and then turned and fed. He
had good pony, but quick pursuit was

Japanese God.

Brooks, of the New York Express,
thus writes of the Japanese god, Dai-
boOtz:
We went inside of him, after running
all around him on the outside. His in
side is full of gilt Buddhist saints, with
crozlerS, glories round the head, etc.
We threw tempos (cents) up into his
head to hear them rattle The priests
liked it, for we did not pick them up,
though they were frightened lest the
heavy copper tempos, falling back, might
hit on their shaven heads. We skirted
on the outside again, the better to COM
prehend this huge mass of bronze, fifty
feet high and thirty feet wide at its base,
which rests on pile of masonry six
feet high. We ran again into the inside
to see how the bronze joints were put.to-
gether, and these joints were almost i'm
perceptible. We got up to the old FED
lows arms. Six of us sat on his thumbs.
We looked into his face, and saw there
the mournful repose, the lips closed.
the eyes downcast and the head slightly
bent upon the breast Great is Dai-
bootz. / don't think much of him as a
god; but as mighty work of bronze
art, as Colossus, in that way worship
him as did the Sphynx, near the Egypt
ian pyramids. and wish / had week to

A Newport correspondent is respon-
sible for the following: 1915
They tell an excellent story about a
clever Boston belle at Newport She is,
like many fashionable Bostonians, con-
ceited, self-eonseious and self-esteemed.
In conversation she appears to take in-
finite delight in asserting her knowledge,
and corrects others frequently as to
their grammatical language and mode of
expression. She had oftentimes morti-
fed New York banker in company in
this manner. and he, piqued and an
noySd, determined to retaliate. One
afternoon she was handed his card
upon which was written an invitation to
ride with him in new "dog cart" The
invitation was graciously accepted, and
at the appointed hour Miss -- appeared
on the hotel piazza, elaborately dressed
for the ride on the beach. She was met
by Mr.. 49,, who apologized for the late
arrival of his turnout. She waited full
half an hour, and was just expressing
impatience, when miniature box-wagon
drawn by two dogs, with white harnesses,
was led up to the door by colored
groom in handsome livery. This,
madam said the gentleman, is my
dog.cart; pray allow me to assist you
in" 1t is needless to say that Miss
----- declined and withdrew to her room
in great rage, followed by the audible
litter of the numerous company assem-
bled on the piazza.

stranee story.

From the Jefferson City Times.l
A refugee from the wild Indians of the
plains, calling himself John Brooks, ar
rived last Saturday, and left the same
night en- route for Illinois. He walked
from Fort Leavenworth and was accom-
panied across the country by a couple Of
young gentlemen Of the Gordon family
who learned his story and becoming in
terested aided him to town. Here they
took steps to enable him to prosecute his
journey to Illinois, where he supposes
his family formerly lived. ln
He tells strange story. When he was
six years old, as he supposes he is now
twenty-two), his father with the family
left Illinois to cross the plains to Cali
fornia. There we're four of them-fsther
mother, sister two years old, and himself
They Joined train, and had arrived at
point beyond Salt Lake. Here, while
the train was parked, his father went out
TO bring in mule. He was fred on by
the Indians and fell. His mother, hold
ing his little sister, witnessed it. She
ran out to her husband, followed by the
little John. The Indians seized the in
fant sister, dashing out her brains against
a tree, and catching up John turned and
fed. .GaHfE aalFCIc
The Indians proved to be band of
Sioux under Red Cloud. They took
him to their village, where be was
adopted and raised by Red Cloud. The
Indians had six other white prisoners
FIVE boys and one girl. By conversing
with each other, they preserved their
knowledge OF the English language.
John was badly treated until he be-
came large enough to take care Of him
self. Red Clouds boys especially de.
lighted in beating him and otherwise
abusing him, so with the Indian who
boasted of killing his father He taunted
John with the possession Of his fathers
scalp. Little John treasured the matter |
up, and swore, when old enough, to re-
venge his fathers murder on this Indian.
John grew up and was a skillful hunter.
He wanted to marry the white girl, but
Red Cloud desired another wife and took |
her himself. Soon after, about three
months ago, he returned one day from
hunt, and riding by the lodge Of the 1
