age, was recently seized with bronchitis,

the coroner was consulted on the pro.
priety of holding an inquest. Some un.

reigned in the mind of the me dical man
whohad been called in, but at any rate, the
railway porter lay in his coffin two days,
at the expiration of which he quietly

Iron Cross Ties.

The greats and increasing cost ofwooden
railway cross,ties is directing the atten-
tion OF managers in two directions.-.to
the cultivation of more durable timber,
and to the use of iron. We have alluded
to the fact that iron ties are being tried
on the Central Pacific Railway. A
treatise has Just been published in Eng
land, setting forth the great advantages
of wrought.iron in the construction of
the permanent way for railways, The
author argues its superiority over timber
and points out the collateral advantage
that its adoption would be the signal tor
a revival of activity in the iron districts,
whose stagnation has seriously affected
the railway interest. He recommends
Hill system, which is already adopted
on a thousand miles of rail, and he states
that the sleepers have been contracted
for in Germany at about f6 per ton.
The system, it is further claimed, is sim
pie, exact and economical. Its main
tenance costs about one third that of the
ordinary permanent way. The guage is
maintained under violent strains, and all
It's parts are Of unlimited durability,
with the exception of the rail itself
Another recommendation is increased
security of traffic, ne perishable parts
being used in construction. The system
has found great faver on the continent,
where many of the great lines adopt it

Cont. Milk and SIeeve-MIIk.

In the southern portion of Italy goats
milk is very generally used by the poorer
classes, who cannot afford the milk Of
cows. This kind of milk is frequently
required also by worthy people, as it is
said to be eficacious in the cure of
various diseases. Difficulties, however,
often attend even the procuring of goats
milk, although the vendors drive the
little animals about from door to door,
and deliver the article done up in its
original package. A case in point oc-

driven up each morning, three flights of

morning a member of his family stepped
suddenly into the hall when the process
of goat-milking was going on, and her
eye caught a glimpse of two streams OF
fluid gently Aowing--one from ths ma
tural source and the other from asyringe

A Primitive Piute Funeral,

An old piute Indian departed for
the happy hunting-ground, by way
Of old age and general debility,
from the camp on the hill back of the
city hall last night. Itis not the cuctom
with the Plutes to bury their dead, and
in this instance they merely carried the
corpse few rods from the camp and de-
posted it on the ground. City Marshal
Brennan, learning this morning that the
corpse was lying on the hillside, com.
manded Capt. Sam to have it properly
buried. Sam is an intelligent native and
made no objections to complying with
the marshars orders; but five other In.
dians standing by, whom he asked to as
sist in the burial, positively refused to
have anything to do with it, Upon this
the officer threatened that unless
they proceeded to bury the dead Indian
forthwith, he would arrest them and
have them fined $4,000,000 each. This
threat had the desired effect on the In
dians, and the funeral commenced. They
wrapped the corpse in robe of rabbit
skins and tied it up with ropes, making
bundle in the shape of a ball. This
they dragged over the hill to an old shaft,
into which they dumped it without cere-
mony. In reply to a question as to the
cause of the Indians death, dusky
maiden who was an interested spectator

idly delivered blows of his razorlike
sword he cleaves through the shoulder
