The Freaks of Ayalanches,
From Harper,s Weekly.l

Avalanches play strange pranks
sometimes, In 1906 an avalanche at
Calancathal, in the Grisons, carried a
wood bodily from one side of the val
ley to the other, and left it standing
there; pine tree was planted on the
roof of the parsonage; and the villagers
were provided with firewood for many
year without the trouble of fetching
it. In 1923, fifty-two sledges, while
iourneying through the Scaletta pass
to Davos, were buried under a schnees-
child, and the wind OF it sent the driv-
ers and passengers spinning through
the air as if they had been shot from
mortar. The snow being fortunately
loose and powdery, and the alighting
soft, nobody was much hurt. In March,
1924, house in Aloerthal, in which
were twelve children, was overwhelmed
by an avalanche, and turned over on it's

Our Leisure Glasses.
from the Boston Journal

CAV, well, don't you know" said the
distinguished titled Englshman who was
being entertained at a prominent club
the other afternoon, "What miss here
in this country is the existence of peo-
pie who are not in business and money
making have no leisure class here,
don't you know" And his friend told
him he was altogether mistaken; and,
when they went out for stroll on the
street, pointed out to him an organ
grinder, who was playing dolefuily up
on his lugubrious instrument, and pilot
ing a monkey up the sides of a house
after pennies, while crowd of several
hundred lined both sidewalks and filed
the roadway, and when the performer
and his companion moved on accom-
panied them in body. And later the
pair observed ninty-seven persons
watching five men who hoisted a safe
into fore-story window, and eighty
six others who killed time by inspecting
dozen Irishmen engaged in digging a
cellar. And the Englishman expressed
himself as having gained new notion
of American society, and learned that
the leisure class fourished in this coun-
try to most extraordinary degree.

In 1885 two goatherds of Churwald-
en-, going home after milking their
goats with their milk tins on
their backs, were struck down by an
avalanche. The tin of one of them

Red Water from the Depths.

In the tunnel of the Daniel Webster
Mine, northeast of this city, beyond the
Wells-Fargo Mine, at a point over 800
feet beneath the surface, flow of water
of strange character has been encoun-
tered. The water boiis up through the
floor of the tunnel, and in the light of
the candles presents an almost blood
red appearance. 1t smells like creosote,
and has pungent, disagreeable taste.
When bottled and brought out to the
light of day, the water has a rich,
burned sienna color. After standing
for time, a grapish powder is thrown
down, but the color of the water re-
mains the same. Two or three gallons
OF the water have been brought to town
and distributed among such persons as
take an interest in things OF the kind.
Some OF the water has been sent to San
francisco for analysis, and assays will
be made of the sediment deposited by
it. A bottle of the water kept in the
sun for several days shows no altera-
ton in color and presents clear. bright
appearance of some tincture.

A New Tricycle..

lFrom the ST. Louis Post-Dispatch.I
There is in course of construction in
this city new patented tricycle., which,
if it accomplishes all the designer and
manufacturer claims for it, will prove a
decided innovation in this class of loco
motion. The machine, of course, has
three wheels, as the name itself inn
plies, like all other tricycles, but in sew
eral very essential features it's makeup
is new one to the public. It has a
body like that of dog-cart or lady's
phaeton. The seat is raised and placed
upon the frame similar. in design to one
of the above spoken of carriages. The
front of the body is protected by dash
board and the sides are of agood height
The machine is propelled like that of
rowing machine, with the appurte-
nances similar to those used in gym
nasium. The motion is like that of
rowing in a boat, with the motive
power directly in front of the rider,
who bends forward and recovering each
movement sends the tricycle. along at
rapid rate. The machine has an auto
matte movement on the small side
wheel consisting of lever with handle
attached, which works up and down on
a circular notched plate. This arrange
ment enables the rider to remain in
natural position going along the side of
hill, or up and down grade. It is
an excellent feature, and will prove of
great advantage to ladies who are fear
full of going too fast down hill, or of an
upset on side Of road. The motive
power is manipulated by ratchet pull
ley, upon which a link belt chain
passes. Something new in the nature
of a rolling spring, which can be at
tached and detached going over rough
places, in order to regulate the speed, is
also part of the new-fangled tricycle..
The large or driving wheel will be thir-
ty-eight inches, the front will be TWEEN
ty inches, while the side-wheel will be
twenty-eight inches. The driving
wheel has an excellent idea in the nat
ure of covering, protection which
the ladies particularly will appreciate,
as it keeps the dust, dirt and mud from
entering their domain. The driving
wheel carries two-thirds of the weight,
and upon it depends the degree of
speed which can be attained.

A Young Lady'S Enterprise.

From the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.J
It requires bright mind and big
pocket-book for the average young man
of Cincinnati to keep even with his
lady friends in society, as is instanced
in the following experience of a we'll
known gentleman who fell victim to
the wiles of dashing young lady
who had made up her mind that her
lady guest from abroad should have
share in all the good things a-geing.
"My dear friend" began the note
which set his heart in futter one day
last week, "Miss-- is visiting me and
mamma has given us tickets to the
theater tomorrow evening. Ii con-
venient to you we would be delighted
to have the pleasure of your company.
We will expect to see you at o'clock.
Yours truly"
Arrayed in his Sunday best, their
"dear friend" arrived at the house
promptly on time, and found the young
ladies with hats and smiles on, but just
as the trio were about to start, "yours
truly" remembered the tickets. Then
began search for them, high and low,
but Cincinnati detective could not
have found those tickets in that house
with a search warrant. "How provok-
ingl Mamma has put them away some
where and I can't find them. It's
getting late, too. Oh, what shall we
do?" "Why that don't NATTER" said
the young man, bravely swallowing his
emotion. "There are plenty more
tickets at the box Office" Smiles re-
turn once more to the faces of his
ladies, and SO they tripped down the
aisle with hearts as light as his purse.
The play went on, villains cursed and
ranted and lovers wooed, and the cur
tain went down on the third act, when
the lady guest leaned in front of their
escort and whispered to yours truly"
where do you generally 60 for supper
after the theater, dear?"
ooh, to the ST. Nicholas, of course.
l wouldn't go any place else.''
And SO they went to the st. Nicholas,
and that young man sat by and saw
them devour frogs legs, and straw
berries and ice cream, until the bill had
climbed way up into weeks wages.
Then he felt sick and went out ito see
a friend" of whom he borrowed enough
to enable him to settle the bill.
The next evening these same young
ladies received caller, who happened
to be the friend who had helped to pay
the bill at the ST. Nicholas, and dur
ing the course of pleasant evening he
entertained them with "a good joke"
on his friend, and told what "a mean
trick" two ladies played on him. cts
the meanest trick ever heard of and
wish I could find out who those ladies
are, but he won't tell me-" said the call
er, and he didn't appear to notice their
confusion as they turned the subject to
ga new way to pay old debts"
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1884-06-25

Two main points in a good farm wag-
on are lowness, to save lifting; and a
cut under for convenience in turning.
The latter, however, calls for very low
fore wheels, and the low wheels call for
springs, to modify the suddenness of
the lift over obstacles.
A GERMAN paper states that the pene-
tration of roots in drain tile, which
sometimes occasions much trouble, may
be prevented by covering the joints in
the vicinity of trees and shrubs and red
clover with earth in which little coal
tar has been distributed.
The best and only way to grow
cheap corn is to increase the yield per
acre. There is fixed cost in growing
an acre of grain, let the yield be what
it may, and every bushel that can be
added to the yield per acre reduces the
cost per bushel in the same ratio.
IF an iron kettle has hole in the
bottom of it drive in plug of lead and
hammer down on both sides. IF kept
covered with water it will not melt.
Far better make cement with six parts
of dry clay and one Of iron filings,
made into paste with boiled hnseed
oil.
In answer to question as to what is
the best grain food for mich COWS,
Prof. Arnold recommends four parts
of bran, two parts of cornmeal aud one
part of linseed meal as having given
him the best results in proportion to
cost of any dry food that he had ever
used.
VIoK's MAGAZINE says that the best
preyentives of mildew on roses are
good drainage, high manuring, selec-
ton of strong varieties, proper pruning
and busting with sulphur as soon as it
appears. 1t is contagious, and some
varieties are more subject to it than
others ,s.f.a .,.zz..s4
A CORRESPONDENT of the Prairie
Farmer says that in cutting up some
dead and decaying apple trees he dis
lodged scores of borers which had
found lodgment in the trunks and roots,
and is now convinced that such trees
ought not to be left IL the orchard to
serve as breeding places for insects, but
Immediately consigned to the fire.
