An Eneincor,s Race for Life.

at Pantano Wednesday afternoon the
brakes OF flat car loaded Ith ties be-
came loosened in som, 1nexplicable
manner and the car began to- move
down the steep grade toward Oienega.
A bystander jumped aboard and en-
deavored to tighten the brakes. He,
however, found them unmanageable.
Another tried and fliled. A regular
brakeman then boarded the car and
quickly discovered that the brakes were
out of order. The car by that time
had increased its speed to fully twenty
miles an hour, and to remain upon it
would be almost sure death when the
first washout was reached. He there
fore called to the other two men on the
car to jump and this they did. Engineer
Frank Shaw at this time was sitting on
his engine at Patano and attached to
his locomotive was car filed with
Cinnamon. He at once realized the ter
rible result if this runaway flat car was
allowed to proceed unchecked on its
way, for a score or more of laborers
were engaged .ar down deep gulch il,
the Cienega pass strengthening the
braces of broken bridge that spanned
it. They would not be able to hear the
approaching Car and it would soon
crash through the weakened timbers
and probably crush many beneath
its weight. As these thoughts
flashed through his mind he pulled
wide open the Unbelievable and start
ed in pursuit of the fast-receding car.
1t was a race for life, and Shaw was
soon laundering down the track at
sixty miles an hour, with the carload
of terrified Cinnamon behind him. The
fiat car ahead was increasing in speed
at every turn Of the wheels, and the
grade there is very steep. The locomo-
tive, however, kept gaining, and finally
Shaw, placing the lever in charge of his
J fireman, crawled to the cow catcher,
and, taking the heavy coupling-rod in
his hand, stood in that perilous posi-
tion until the car was reached. The
chasm where the men were working
came in sight, and still the fugitive car
was two hundred yards away. He
called to his fireman to open wider the
valve, and the laboring engine made 8
lurch that showed she had felt the in.
creased volume of steam. They sped
on with lightning rapidity. The space
between them gradually lessened
Shaw stood with the rod in one hand
and the coupling-pin in the other
Finally the few feet disappeared, and
with dexterity that comes from prac
tice and cool brain the coupling was
made. The locomotive was reversed
and the train came to a standstill with
in fifty feet of the bridge. This is the
way one man saved many lives INcso,

A True Home,

The following beautiful gem is float
ing around the press as waif:
The most perfect home ever saw wa
little home into the sweet incense Of
whose altar fires went no costly things.
A thousand dollars year served as q
living for father, mother and three chill
dren. But the mother was the creator
of the home. Her relations with her
children were the most beautiful have
ever seen. Even the dull and common
place man was lifted up and enabled to
work for souls by the atmosphere which
this woman created. Every inmate Of
her house involuntarily looked into her
face for the keynote of the day, and it
always rang clear. From the rosebud
or clover leaf, which in spite of her hard
housework she always found time to
put beside our plates at breakfast, down
to the story she had on hand to be read
in the evening there was no interrup-
tion of her influence. She has been,
and always will be, my ideal of wife,
m other and home maker. If to her
quick brain, loving heart and exquisite
face had heen added the appliances OF
wealth and the enlargement of wide
culture, hers would have been the ideal
of home. AS it was, it was the best
have ever seen.

Cheese Made from Potatoes.

A German paper says that cheese is
made from potatoes in Thuringia and
Saxony in the manner below: After
having collected a quantity of potatoes
of good quality, giving the preference
to a large white kind, they are boiled in
a caldron, and becoming cool, they are
peeled and reduced to pulp, either
by means of CRATER or mortar. To five
pounds of the pulp, which ought to be
as equal as possible, is added one
pound of sour milk and the necessary
quantity of salt. The whole is kneaded
together and the mixture covered up
and allowed to lie for three or four days,
according to the season. at the end Of
this time it is kneaded anew, and the
cheeses are placed in little baskets,
when the superAuouo moisture escapes.
They are then allowed to dry in the
shade, and placed in layers in large
vessels, where they must remain for fif-
teen days. The older these cheeses are
the more their quality improves. Three
kinds are made. The first and most
common is made as detailed above; the
second, with four parts of potatoes and
two parts of curdled milk; the third
with two parts of potatoes and four
parts of COW or eve milk. These
cheeses have this advantage over other
kinds, that they do not engender worms,
and keep fresh for a number of years,
provided they are placed in dry situa-
tion and in well-closed vessels.

RELIGIONS News md Notes,

The Rev. DIR. Diedrich Willers, pas

ShreWd Pike,

The California pike seem to be as
shrewd in regard to their own interests
as the human inhabitants of the State
have the reputation of being. Not long
since they formed barricade of their
own bodies in the Sacramento river,
resting just below the surface with their
noses up stream, and were rewarded
for their ingenuity with bounteous
feast of the small fish in the river.
These, coming in contact with the bar
rier, were frightened, and tried to get
away but few of them could. The
pike were very nimble they snapped
up the little fellows by the thousand,
despite the efforts of many to swim
over their heads. The barricade con-
tinued three days. Boys were out in
boats and captured many of the pike,
which Immediately reformed the line.

The Bray Of the Mexican Donkey.

The New Orleans Democrat recounts
the many good qualities of the Mexican
burro that has lately been introduced
into that city as a cbild's horse. who, it
seems, can banquet on splinters and
scraps, carry immense loads, and is
faithful, accomplishing, docile and tire
less hut. eve regret to say" continues
the Democrat, "the burro brays. Amaz-
ing as is his strength, his stamina, his
amiability, his courage, these things are
as nothing compared to his bray. That
such a tremendous and far-reachlng
sound should emanate from such q
small a source constitutes the eighth
wonder of the world.
"When the little blue burro-they are
nearly all blue-concludes to celebrate
his scanty period of relaxation by good,
healthy, whole-souled bray-when he
humps his little back, and shuts his
appealing little eyes, and lets his ears
lie along his back, and then gathers
himself into one ecstatic note, it is
enough to make one envy the sainted
dead and long for the cold and silent
grave. The sleepers for a mile around
start up with the sweat of terror on their
furrowed brows, children fall down in
fits, the sick believe they have heard
GabriePs horn, and the very atmosphere
shudders like human creature. Burros
don't often bray, because they haven't
much time for braying but they bray
sometimes, and that is what keeps them
so low in the scale of animated nature.
Without his bray the burro would be
little short of an angel. As he is, how
ever, he is an animal to be admired at Il
distance and in the abstract"

The-Pathor oi1Life.

The pathos of life lies but little be-
low the surface; the loving heart feels
it all.
While 1 was in college l was i'm
pressed very deeply by an incident
illustrating the pathos of these facts,
which need only to be known to be
felt. 1 had observed large Newfound-
land deg about the dormitories for
nearly a week. One cloudy afternoon
an old man came YEARLY into the yard
and inquired for the dog. The wild
ones saw chance for little diversion
and so the dog was allowed to look be-
nignly down from the attic windows
upon his master. The old man trudged
up the long flights of steps, but when
he reached the room he saw the dog
playing leap-frog with the boys on the
campus. Again he patiently descended
and the chase was kept up until the old
man saw it was of no use. 1t afforded
great sport for the thoughtless, but
there were some among the scores look
ing on whose hearts and tongues pro-
tested.
"Boys," said the old man, "this
looks like sport to you, but if you only
understood the circumstances you'd feel
more like crying than laughing. My
wife and 1 had little granddaughter e
week ago, but we haven't now. She
died last Saturday. This dog was a
great favorite with her. He stayed i'll
her room all through her sickness, and
she would stroke him with great ten
derness when she was almost too feeble
to raise her hand. Whils she was
dying she said: Grandma, you'll keep
Rover to remember me by, won't you,
grandma? Be good to Rover and we'll
all meet in heaven;' and now grandma
is very lonesome without her little girl,
and she wants the dog. He ran away

His voice choked while tears started in
many eyes. Quickly the dog was given
up; hat was passed and substantial
tokens of the boys repentance were
presented the old man, and while he
trudged away, followed closely by his
dog, the sun broke through the clouds

food of golden rays upon the college

Rev. @. A. Harvey, D. D., is the popular fnan-

specially fitted to judge of merit and demerit.
In a recent letter from Washington to friend
he said: "I have for two years past been ac-
quainted with the remedy known as Warmers
Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, and with its re-
markable curative efficiency in obstinate and
SO called incurable cases of Bright's disease in
this city. In some of these cases, which seemed
to be in the last stages and which had been
given up by practitioners of both schools, the
speedy change wrought by this remedy seemed

No part of the human body is so muc

No part of the human body is so much
neglected as the feet. Possibly not
over ten in each hundred, of even the
educated classes, properly cleanse the
feet and nails. Battle the feet every
night and morning with little borax
in the water. Ammonia and bay rum,
though cleansing, have a tendency to
dry the skin and close the pores. Fre-
quent change of hosiery is more neces
sary than changing any other part OF
the clothing. After physical exercise
renovate the stockings, bathe the feet
and annoint them, the ankles and the
calves of the legs, with healing oil or
salve. Exchange the socks worn through
the day for clean ones at early evening,
and the brain will quickly respond to
the restoring influence. 1t would be
much better to neglect to wash the face
an entire month than neglect to bathe
the feet a single day. Pare the nails
once a week, and, only after softening
by bathing, remove the quick, which
gathers under the nail, every third day
before it putrifes. Never use cheap OF
highly-perfumed soap, as it has ten
dency to dry and parch the skin, and sc
close the pores as to prove very lnJu,
rious to health. CASTLE, olive oil and
other vegetable oil soaps are the best
for the flesh.

1t is said that the presence of glucose

It is said that the presence of glucose
in sugar can be detected in this way :
Take handful of the mixture and drop
it into glass of cold water. Stir it a
few minutes, and you will note that the
cane sugar is entirely dissolved, leaving
the grape sugar undissolved at the
bottom of the glass, in the form OF a
white, sticky substance not at all unlike
starch in looks, and quite bitter to the
taste. 1t won't do to use hot water in
your test, however, for if you do the
whole thing will dissolve"
