ON A CUBAN RAILWAY.

Presently an angular mummihed negro,
who has been frequently passing through
the train and making himself generally con-
spicuous, rings a dinner-bell which he holds
in his hand, and this is the signal to leave
You might have imagined that this bell-lnan
was connected with the station, and not q
part of the apparatus of the train but that
Is an error-and at every station thereafter,
when the dinner-bell rang on the platform
at the rear end of the train, the engineer al
ways obeyed the signal.
The train carries three classes OF passen-
gers, the third class in front and the first
class In the rear. The only difference Ia in
the seating of the car, there being no cush-
ions on the second and the third Glass; and
no backs on the seats of the latter
The road Ia a narrow gauge, but IT moves
rapidly enough, and there are no yexatious
delays. Many of the stations are fenced In
with barbed wire, SO that If any one wishing
to defraud the railroad company, passes out
at the wrong station, or having purchased
ticket for certain place to which there Is
chcnp iutei uieA W BeV on Hhere tne rare IL
dear, he can be certainly detected. The
regulation Of the rates, think, depends
perhaps upon the opposition the road may
have, and the rates are strangely unjust. It
is cheaper, for instance. to bny- ticket
through to Havana. than il is TO purchase
one to certain point not quite halfway.
II may be possible, too, that the road dis
eliminates against certain points, as such a
thing as that has been known even in the
States Hacana Correspondence Pitts6arga

THE COWBOY OF FLORIDA.


Visiting the stores for the sake Of pro-
visioning the craft, the principal business
Of Fort Myers was at once discernible from
the array Of saddles and brides, exhibited.
Around this point aud from many q prairie
and jungle in the neighborhood cattle are
brought in for shipment to Punta Rassa, to
be sent from thence to Key West and Cuba.
A good many gaunt lads, lounging around
in high boots, with iingling spurs, showed
the peculiarities OF their calling, for. they
we're the cowboys Of this region. doubt
whether the cowboy Of the West is recruited
entirely from the country where he herds
or drives his cattle, but the Floridian COW
boy is indigenous to the soil. Hard work
and plenty OF it, at times with poor food "a
facilitating climate and many mosquitoes
have made them feshless. Driving cattle
in the West Ia certainly no child's play. hut

Western horses barely stand the hard work,

THE BAY RUM FRAUD.

Please fiji this bottle with bay rum. A
reporter of the Rochester Democyut leaned
over the counter Of drug store in this city,
and spake the above in modest tone. It was
plain, ordinary, everyday transaction in
every way, and was complied with in the
same plain ordinary, everyday manner.
Then with the bottle, filed with the hirsute
appliance, safely in his pocket, the reporter
remained TO have a friendly chat with the
dispenser of calomel and nux yomica.
g How long ago did this bay rum leave the
West Indies ~ ''Well, to be candid with
you, the article never saw the place you
mention II thought all bay rum was
manufactured in the West Indies ?n " Young
man, your Ignorance is truly deplorable.'. I
know that the West Indies is the place
where bay rum is generally supposed to be
made, but between you and me a great guam
tity Of the iuid is concoctedri right hereat home
--.ysas IN this very city, y :. Then there isan
imitation bay rum ?" Most certainly there
Is, and lots OF IT sold. l am not particularly
anxious 10 diyulge the secret, but there are
druggists in plenty, right in this little town,
who make their own biv rum and sell it NJ
the genuine imported article . How is it
mades" Well, will tell you. You know
the genuine is made by digesting bay leaves
In alcohol and distilling the mixture. Now
the imitation is made by using the oil of bay
leaves, oil of cloves, pepper or alspice, and
water. Then you have bay rum which
will deceive anybody" " What is the ini-
tation sold at z" Just the same as the
genuine. or perhaps, at q small discount, It
would give the job away II il WAS sold Of
very small figure. The genuine is sold at
80 cents pint and the imitation at 80 or
sO.n Is there much profit in selling the
imitation ut that figure T 'swell, / should
say so There Is profit OF over 100 per
cent. II can be made for half the money
for which the genuine can be purchased. "
Here the reporter took out his notebook
and j,,t 81 down few memoranda, What's
that you're doing? Great Scott what I

LARGE ARIZONA LIZARDS.

Tho lizard family attajns great perfection
in the Southwest, climaaing in the horrible
creature called the gila monster OF Arizona.
This is a big black lizard from foot to
four feet in length. He has pair Of villain

meath couple of horny eyebrows that give
his face an uncommonly ferocious express
sion. Around his neck is broad band of
beautiful yellow, and am convinced that

slider himself in the presence OF the devil
himself, wearing the colors of the Prince Of
Orange The Arizona prospectors tell the
widest tales about the poisonous qualities
Of the gila monster, some even claiming
chat the reptile kills its prey by breathing
on It. Its poison is contained In minute
cells at the base Of a number Of saw-like
teeth. Though naturally sluggish brute,
it at times exhibits the most frightfui quick
ness, darting like fash upon its prey and
selling the game between its jaws, which it
shuts and keeps closed with the strength
and tenacity Of swapping turtle, Mean
while, the poison slowly exudes and peue-
trates the wounds made by the teeth, and

local effects of serious nature.

TEMPERIN0 THE WIND.

Some one tells a story of London cock.
ney, who, while out shooting in India, came
upon large tiger, and thereupon began
loudly vociferating for q cab. Another sort
of species is the wife of a settler on the line
OF the Southern Pacific, whose house was
submerged by the recent foods. Her hus-
band was absent at the time, and for FIVE
days the plucky woman lived upon the roof
with her five small children, and subsisted
upon a few potatoes she had carried up from
below in the confusion. When rescued by
relief boat last Saturday, she was asked by
q reporter whether she had not suffered Q
great deal.
I" Well, yes" she replied; g it was pretty
rough, that's a fact The nights were awful
cold and we only had one blanket between
us, and that was wet. After the third day
the children kept crying all the time for
something to eat, and when divided the
last potato most gave up all hope. On the
fourth night tree came floating by with q
big wildcat on it, and the creature jumped
on our roof, too"

KILLING GOPHERS.

A big gopher hunt is reported as having
heen participated in by the officials, passen.
gers and hands of the Los Gatos train of the
South Pacific Coast Railroad last Sunday,
IN the up trip. A little distance from Halls
Station, in consequence of the storm, the
track, with the exception of the tops of the
rails, was covered with water, and the train
had to make but slow progress FOR some
thing like three miles. Finally reaching
certain point, engineer Badly could see
but one rail above the water, and to insure
the safety of the train stopped his engine,
put ON pair of rubber boots and waded
ahead to make certain that the track was all
right. He noticed on the rail in sight nun
erous little animals, and closer inyestiga
ton showed them TO be gothers that had
been driven out of their holes by the high
water, and their only places Of refuge were
on the higher ground ON the rails and the
fence alongside the road. One of the little
animals, not liking the near approach of the
engineer, reyenged itself by biting him in
the calf of the leg. The latter was not
pleased and got even by kicking the gophers
into the water. The train hands and pas
sengers, observing the peculiar antics of
Badly, sailed out, and with clubs, sticks.
pieces of coal and all manner of weapons,
made il lively for the little animals Arriy-
ing at Alyarado, the train hands informed
the citizens of the fun they had had, and
the latter went back and succeeded in kill
ing from 400 to 500 of the gophers At
Newark the rain Ind driven out many OF
the animals, and some 200 were killed.
These gophers, with squirrels and field mice,
are regular pests throughout the southern
counties, and it is thought that the late
storms have caused the death of millions oil

lation in consequence of not having Judges
enough. The lawyers IRE preparing TO leave
certain towns because for months past they
have had no term Of court, and for months
to come there is no prospect of a trial Of
their causes. Four judges are expected to
try the litigation of 200, 900 people scatter
ed oyer 1900 square miles. The task is
simply berculean, and already Judge Hud-
son, of the Fargo district, hos broken down
and gone home to Wisconsin to recover his
health. new country has q litigious class
of people that breed lawsuits wonderfully.
Lawyers in Illinois, Wisconsin, and Mime
sofa nowadays lament the changed times.
Thirty years ago they had long-dockets, fill

table suits, from dog and horse cases to
hbels and divorces, with constant run of
assault and battery business. Now there Is
very poor picking, for the stirring, combat
i've tendencies of the people have softened
with age. But Dakota Is in the heyday of
the lawyers harvest, and to be without
judges is like the farmer who should have
