WHIRLING THROUGH A DRIFT.

AT this moment train No. 4, which IS
drawn by one of the big Mogus, or con-
solidated engines, came along. The two
locomotives were pulled out of the way
and the track thus left clear. There was
a pretty heavy drift ahead on the track
for distance of about one hundred and
fifty yards, but Mr.. Kipp thought the
Mogui could clear it without damage to
the engine. He ordered the engineer to
pull away back from the drift and 60 at
it with full head of steam on. The
engine took a good ready, the throttle
valve was opened, and she came thunder
ing down the track at rate of thirty
five miles an hour, while Wesley stood
near the drift whirling his lantern as
signal to 'let her rip" She did rip, and
ne says he never saw grander or more
exciting thing in his life than that huge
locomotive, with perfect cloud of big
sparks pouring high up into the cir from
the smoke stack, great sheets of snow
lying from each side of the locomotive,
Ike the white-capped waves from the
PROV of swiftly moving steam cutter,
and the air, for thirty feet around the
engine, filed with cloud of snow that
made it look like a snowslide in motion.
The big locomotive swept every thing
before it, but its speed was slackened by
the resistance of the drift to about fifteen
miles an hour. She came through all
right and stopped, painting, putting, and
trembling, like race horse as he reaches
the goal. .Sedakia Democrat.

One of the most Important results OF
the trip of the schooner Yukon to the
coast of Alaska last autumn, under charge
of commander w. FL. Dali, was the de-
termination ofthe boundary line between
Russia and the United States. Accord
ing to the treaty, this boundary line
should pass between the two Diomede
Islards without touching either. Com
mander Dali made landing on Big Do
mede Island, and had short but salts
factory set of observations. which showed
that the boundary line, as defined in the
treaty, does actually pass between tho
two islands. These islands are granite
domes rising in the centre of Behring's
Strait, their sides almost perpendicular
from the action of the sea, and without
beaches. 4 few gullies III the granite
bluffs give access to broken tableland
on the top. There is a native village OH

NUTRITIOUS FOOD.

The names of Prof. Horsford and the
Rumford Chemical Works providence,
r. [. have become SO identified with the
manufacture and sale of phosphoric acid
and the phosphates, that they are Justly
considered as the highest authorities in
this country, if not in the world, upon
those articles.
The former, Prof. Ell. has made the
subject of wheat and its conversion into
bread, a lie long study, and was the first
to suggest the use of the phosphates as a
cream tartar substitute, whereby the nu-
tritions element which are taken from tue
flour in bolting are restored.
The phosphate preparations of the
above firm have received the hearty re-
concentrations of the highest medical
and chemical authorities in this and 9TH
er countries, so that their healthfulness
and utility are beyond question. They
have been put upon the market in vari-
Gus forms, the latest, and one which will
undoubtedly prove the most popular, be-
ing s'Prof. Horsford's Phosphate Bak
ing Powder" which is packed in tin cans
like the ordinary baking powders, and is
to be used in the same way. 1t is made
from Prof. Horsford's Acid Phosphate in
powdered form. Il contains the same
ingredients, mixed together, as the ia
nous Horsford's Bread Preparation, is
fully equal in strength, If not superior, to
any of the ordinary frst-class baking
powders, and is sold at reasonable prices.
The Works have issued for the present
year, their "Horsford Almanac and Cook

A REToRT ON BYRoN.-I was lately
looking over some letters of my relation,
Madame Sismondi, written from Geneva
in the year 1919, where 1 met with an
anecdote respecting Lord Byron that
seems worth preserving. On some occa-
sion when he was visiting Madame de
Stael at Coppet, he was so unmannerly
as to make violent attack upon Geneva
and the Genevese.
Rocca, the husband of his hostess, re
piled: "C'est bien vrai, MILFORD, mais
qu'est-ce que vous aviez faire dams une
telle caverne d'honnetes gensl" C"Very
true, my lord, but what had you to do il
such den of worthy folks?') Madame
de Stael was much pleased with the neat
ness of the retort, which Madame Sis
mondi had from Dumont, who was pres
ent at the scene.

jumped one side, and, singing the lam
tern over my head, dashed it into the cab.
The engineer saw the lamp as it broke on
the floor, and seeing the red glass and
battered lantern, whistled the danger
signal and tried to check up.
Looking down the track, I almost
screamed from excitement. The last
match had found a dry spot, and the
straw was blazing up brightly. The train
came to stand STILL She was saved;
that's all remember.
The next I knew I was in the baggage
car. They said they had found me lying
by the train, in dead faint, and-excuse
me, we are going to stop now. Sam

The train stopped, and the writer went
home, satisfied that brakeman's life is
an exciting one.

MARVELLOUS DREAMS.

| London News: Most people remem.
Der the terrible railway accident in which
Dickens himself and his proof sheets es-
capped, while SO many victims perished.
In the train there chanced to be gentle
man and lady just landed in England
after their return from India. The lady
said to her husband: 81 see the great
wave rolling on; it is close to u.s." and
then the crash came, and she was dead.
The husband was unhurt, and, at later
time, explained his wife's strange words.
| Ever since they set sail from India she
had been haunted in sleep by the dream
of a vast silyery wave, and always as it
was about to break on her she had wax
ened III terror. This was the phenome-
non which she recognized Immediately
before the accident which killed her.
Less tragic, but quite odd, is the anec-
| dote OF the south-country farmers dream.
The good man wakened from his sleep,
and aroused his wife to tell her about
startling vision. He had dreamed that
he saw favorite COW drowning in a pond
in neighboring common. "There's no
pond there" said the wife, with natural
irritation and double, shotted negatives.
This was undeniably true, but the man
was uneasy. At last he arose, dressed
and walked up the long lane which led to
the common. Everything was quiet, but
Just at the top of the lane the farmer
heard sound as of man digging. Then
hight caught his eye, it glimmered
through hedge that divided the lane
from the fields. The farmer cautiously
drew near till he was just above the
ditch. There he spied country fellow,
with lantern, digging long, straight,
deep hole in the ground. An axe lay be-
side the hole. At this point the farmer
slipped, the hedge rustled, and the delv-
er fled away. The farmer secured the
lantern and made for home. Just at the
entrance of the lane, the time being two
IN the morning, he met one of his servant
wenches hurrying in the direction whence
he had come. "What do you want, NV
lass? No good, fear" said the agricul-
tural moralist; and, in short, he made
the girl tell him her story. She was 60
ing to meet her young man." who had
jilted her and was courting another girl
She had threatened him with an action
for breach of promise of marriage, and
the swain had promised that, if she would
but meet him at in the morning, at the
bend of the lane, he would satisfy her.

vealed to the Mortified girl the long, deep
and narrow hole and the sharp axe which
had awaited her. Naturally she did not
any longer pursue her lover, and here is
a dream which even Mr.. Proctor will ad-
NIT not to have been purposeless.

RATIONS FOR CALVES.

CalYes digest whole corn better than
older cattle, as We have found by careful
experiment, very little comparatively
passing them undigested. This is prob
ably caused by better mastication, and
also by more active digestive organs; The
best formula out of these three foods for
calves is, to mix shelled corn and bran in
equal proportions by weight, and then
mix one pound of oil meal for each calf
per day. As much of the corn and bran
may be fed as is found to be iudicious. -
Let US suppose the actual ration to be
lbs. of corn and bran mixed, 10. Of oil
meal, and II lbs. of prarie hay. The
ration must be graduated to the weight of
the calf-some might require more than
this, and others less, but this would be
about the average. This ration would
cost, at the prices named, 3o. SIS cents per
week; and if fed 20 weeks, the cost would
| be SIT per head. If the season should
be favorable, Short-horn or Hereford
grades would gain at least 2 lbs. per day,
or go or more lbs. per head. The cost
of this would be, p cents per pound gain.
Decoricated cotton seed meal ought to be
found at Chicago or st. Louis at S15 to
$50 per ton, which would slightly lessen
| the cost.
But the mode of giving the ration is
of considerable consequence. If this
corn, bran, ETC., are mixed with cut hay,
so tina. the bay and corn must be eaten
together, more perfect digestion will
| take place. The grain ration should be
fed in two parts, half in the morning and
| half in the evening. One peck of cut hay
to each calf at feed is sufficient. The
| hay should be distributed in a trough,
and the corn, bran, and oil meal mixed
| with it. They will then eat the hay and
grain together. Long hay may be given
them at noon. A rack, with trough Oh
cash side, is best, the uncut fodder being
| given IN rack. The oil meal will keeE
their stomachs in good condition. If il
Is lmpracticable to cut this small amount
OF hay, the next best way is to spread {
thin layer of hay in the trough and dis
tribute the mixed feed over the top. =
They Will eat more or less of the ha,
with the grain feed, and raise and remas
ticate all together, producing a porou.

JUSTICE In THE PUNJAB.

There is mixture of earnestness and
| yet childish wilfulness, with dash oi
silly stupidity, about the Punjab, which
has its amusing side, and these charac-
teristics are often brought into strong
relief in our law courts. A suitor disap-
pointed of his ''decree" in the Chief
Court once took a novel method of in
forming the public of his sentiments as
to the density and darkness of the Judi
clal mind In that tribunal. He solemnly
lighted vast torch outside the building,
and paraded this up and down as sort
of practical hint that more light was re-
quired within! And II the Indian law
court there are many prototypes of Miss
Elite. Indeed, SO litigious is the native,
that the only wonder is there are not
more persons driven half crazy by their
presumed wrongs. A white bearded Sikh
came to me one day with piteous story
that his son had been murdered. Full
inquiries were made, and it turned out
that the young fellow, who had been long
ailing, had died in a natural manner when
out with his cart conveying goods into
Lahore. The old gentleman now assert
ed that his dead son had been robbed
This also was ascertained to be entirely
incorrect. But the father was not going
to be put off like this. He used to meet
me every day as | drove up to court, and
there he demanded justice. Arguments
and expostalations were useless, and
justice he would have. He was then re-
commended to try civil suit for the re-
covery of the property. This he did, and
his claim was of course thrown out. He
again appeared before me, humbIy in
quiring what he was to do now? He
dogged me in the streets, he sat outside
my house, and he waited to see me enter
the cutcherry, and hung about until I
came out. When I left Lahore I made
my successor over to his kind attentions,
snd perhaps by this time the old gentle
man has had the good sense to return to
his native village.
On another occasion man used per-
sistently to come into court and petition
that some one else's well-rope had been
stolen! 1t was of no use to try and In
duce the man to see that this was no bus
iness of his, for a few days after he would
again present himself with just another
such petition. Apparently this indiyid-
ual was III his right senses, and he GER
tainly was never in any way offensive;
but on the sixth or seventh time of his
urging before me his feelings of annoy
ance at the disappearance of the wretched
rope, I acted on the supposition Of his
being half-crazed, and inquired if L
Knew uue cIYII surgeon Dy sight. On his
replying in the affirmative L confdentially
mentioned to him that if that official were
any day to come into court, and were to
learn what was going on, he would very
probably think the presenter of such
petition q little weak in the head, and
might see fit to send him to the lunatic
asylumn. 'Quite as friend l mention
this, / said, land because personally I
should be sorry to see you in trouble
So [ advise you to drop this petitioning,
or [ can't answer for the consequence"
The man gave furtive look round the
court and slipped away. He never came
again.-BeLgraUia.
