written to a San Francisco paper q
protest against the sending Of Chris

will make US realize, perhaps for the

A Race with Death

A story is told Of sn engineer on
the Union Pacific Railroad, who ran
a race with death at the rate Of forty
miles an hour and won by Eve seconds
He was driving the passenger train
west, and was taken suddenly and
seriously i'll.
He seemed to be aware that death
was near, yet the train must reach
Cheyenne before be could be relieV-
ed. That would end the route. He
increased the speed Of the engine
and ran for life. Forty miles an
hour and saved bis distance.
He reached Cheyenne ahead Of
time, and when the engineer who
was to relieve him stepped aboard
the engine be family gasped, Take
the engine; I'm ready to die now"
In Eve minutes be WAS . corpse.
If death had stepped aboard before
the other engineer what would have
been the consequences to the passen-
gers? But they did not see the
grim specter running the egino like a
phantom train.

Chinese PoIIteness.

Rules of politeness are all regulat-
ed at Pekin by Tribunal of Rites.
In case you wish to pay a visit to q
mandarin, the proper thing 10 do is
to send in your card, on a small
piece Of reG paper, on which is your
name, followed By polite sentence,
as this: The tender and sincere
friend Of your lOrdship, and the per-
pelual disciple Of your doctrine,
thus presents himself 10 pay his re-
spects and to bow before you to the
earth - If the mandarin is willing
to receive you, be asks you to pass
before him. You are expected to
make the humble reply, IL dare mott"
and, after an infnity Of gestures,
which are all arranged, and obligs-
tory phrases, tie master of the house
bows you to a chair, and slightly dusts
it with the corner Of his robe, upon
which you are at length seated The
difficulties are much increased when
ten or a dozen mandaFins call upon
an Englishman at once, and accord
ing to the custom, tea is offered, be-
ginning ct one Of the highest rank.
lie pretends to offer to the next, then
to the third, and so on to the last
All having politely refused, be per-
mits himself to drink it. The see

the others, and thus the farce pro
eeeds until all have gone through the

The Botany orwar.


According 10 the Savannah Rspub-
,tcah' after General Sherman made
MS march to the sea, in his track
there sprung up new and ppknown
grass from the soil, which the fsrn,
ers called sherman clover 7,
would grow up in the most uner.
peeted places, and it is said. would
root out Bermuda grass; and. as a
strange similarity, it is noted that
after the FrancO-Prussian war OF
lS70-Tl, in many districts Of France,
new vegetation sprsng up, evident
ly the result Of the invasion. We
may add to this account that a Paris
professor has arranged a regular cat
alogue Of plants discovered for the
first time in France after the invasion
from abroad. As some Of these
plants were well known to Germany,
it was suggested that the seeds might
have been brought along 10 the for
age bags or with the forage itself
transported from Germany and turn
ed out on French soil. A new plant
is also said to have been introduced
after the march ofthe allies to Paris
in 1915.
The Somerset herald. [volume] (Somerset, Pa.) 1870-1936, 1875-03-10

A curious case Of assumption Of
sex was lately discovered in Paris.
A pensioned officer, named Senkie-
sen, now nearly eighty years old, fell
i'll, and had to be taken to the Neckar
Hospital. There the doctor in charge
discovered that the officer belonged
to the female sex. Her secret being
thus detected, the "Uieille de Ia
rieille' no longer hesitated giving
the story of her life She was four
teen when she lost her father, q Ba-
vsrial colonel Her grandfather, Gen.
Baron Won Senkeisen, had the COM
mand Of a Bavarian army corps.
Bavaria was then the ally Of France.
By some unexplained whim this
grandfather forced her to enlist in
one Of the regiments of his division.
She advanced rapidly in the cam
paigns of Germany and Spain, and
was wounded twice, and severely, at
Waterloo She was then admitted
in the hospital as an officer OF the
second class. In 1880 she took SER
vice again, and went to Algeria in
1888 she obtained French nataraliza-
tiOn and q pension. This woman
has a glorious character to boast Of,
having received letters of congratula-
ton on her Valorods deeds from Mar
sbals Berthier, Augereau, Suchet and
Gen. Dupont, who was sentenced to
death for having eapitulated at Bay
len with 10000 men.

Continuous rows Of stately trees

appearance Of farm or country.
But it is urged that shaded roads re-
main wet and muddy much longer
after heavy rains than those fully e1-
posed to the sun. This is doubtless
true, but as 90 Offset we may claim
that they are less liable to become
dusty, and between The two evils
there is not much choice. Decidu-
Gus trees only should be planted along
roadsides in cold climates, because
they afford shade during the season
when most needed, If at all. Road
side trees may also interfere with The
growth OF crops in the fields adjOin-
ing by shading as well as by the alb
sorption Of moisture by their roots,
but as we can scarcely Eecure any

perhaps the pleasure derived from
passing over a shady road during the
bot weather in summer, as well sa
the beautiful appearance o. Sneh
highways, more than compensate for
the slight losses which they entail

The Hessians were heartily hated
during the war, and not without
cause. Brutalized by their treat
ment, they acted like brutes. France
had let loose red fends upon the
Colonial settlemenst, for years, but
here were white savages. The
Americans regarded them as the
frontiersman does the Indian to-day.
A New Jersey tradition epitomizes
this feeling: A little girl found q
sOreIy wounded Hessian lying in a
Geld the day after a skirmish. He
begged for water. She ran into the
house, took her fathers gun without
being seen, slipped slyly out of the
room, ran to the dying man, put the
muzzle to his head and pulled the
trigger Another Hessiau dead. and
William, Hereditary Prince of Hesse,
was entitled to draw more thalers
from the Trearury of England.
