CHAMPAGNE.-Tha red wine Of the
Champagne sparkled on the boards OF
mouarchs in the middle ages. Tits re-
lated that King Wenceslaus Of Behemi ia ,
a mighty topper. got so royalty drunk day
alter day upon the vintages of the cham>
pagne that he forgot all about the treaty
with Charles VI that had formed the
pretext Of his visit to France, and wou Id
probable have fingered, goblet in hand,
the old cathedral city till the day OF his
death, but for the presentation of n bill
for wine consumed which sebered HIM
and led to this abrupt departure.
This was for red wine, whereas the
champagne of to>day is white as il ha,
been since the close OF the seventeenth
century. The change WAS brought by q
monk named Perigon, one of the breth.
rem of the Benedictines, who lived on the
slopes of the NJ ernc, near Epernay. This
monk was a heaven born csliarman, with
a strong head and q discriminating pa
late, and be it was who luckily discover,
ed the way Of making an offervescent
wine. 1t was at one of the famous sup
pers at the Palais Royal that the Marquis
de Silery first introduced the sparkling
wine bearing his name, and why it
sparkled so was mystery even to the
very makers themselves.

THERE was never a more heroic de-
votion to duty than that displayed by
Albert Lyman, who had charge Of the
As during the great fire in Reno. While
the FIRE was spreading in the direction Of
his house. where his wife and two little
children we're alone. he stood at his post
working the pumps as carefully as II he
had no other care. With tears in his
eyes he told a man near by that he dian't
know but his house was burning and his
loved ones in it, but he could not leave
TO attend to them. He stood in the very
FIRE itself, near Judge Marshall's house,
until his cap began to burn and he was
forced to give up the fight. Such an act
stemps the man hero and his name
should 90 the rounds. True to the spirit
of poetic justice, his house was spared
through all its neigbors went.-Reno

The Boss LocoMoTIvE.-Uncle Dick
weighes sixty.fve tons, and he is sixty
feet long from his head light to the rear
end Of his tender. He is tho biggest To-
comotivs in the world. and has just been
turned out OF the Baldwin Locomotive
Words FOR duty on the precipitous in
clines Of the Atchison, TopsSr and Santa
Fe Railroad. A boiler 81 feet long sup
plies steam for cylinders 20 inches %, and
gives motion to oight 42inch drivers,
while large tank su:moun:ing the en>
tire structure not only carries water
supply. but helps to give Uncle Dick a
tighter grip on the rails. His driver will
have control of three Independent sys-
TENS Of air-brakers, and can bring to
bear at once upon his wheels a restrain
ing force of rs tons, which is mona too
large inasmuch as a "shoe pressure" OF
so 900 pounds IS required to keep him,
when standing still and alone on the
steep road over the Ruton Pass, from
surrendering to gravitation and rushing
down hill by his own weight. How
heavy these grades are can be understood
when it is noted that one end of Uncle
Dick will often stand more than three
feet higher than the other, go that in
travelling his own length he will do the
work of lifting about $50 tons perpendi-
cular foot. And let this monster, res
jolcng in bis strength. will rush up the
flank of tho Rocky Mountains with ten
loaded cars behind him.
