Fast Horses Did It.

A correspondent writes the New York Tribune /:
On railroad train far up in Vermont fell in
with J. P. Atkinson, wealthy farmer of that
State. Inquiring the price of improved farm
land, was surprised to hear him quote such low
figures as SIS to $50 per acre. He told me that
the same land that could now be bought for this
price formerly brought as high as $40. His ex-
PLANTATION of this reduction in value was given in
this language: "The young fellows won't work /;
the old men can't. Those who will work have
gone off to the West. Those who remain care more
about fast horses and other fast things than about
farming. Look about at any of the railroad sta
tions and you will see scores of sulkies standing
around When farmer or farmers boy gets
fast horse the farm goes to the dogs pretty quick
You can't hire farm help even at big prices. Men
have got above it, want to live by their wits or
on what their fathers accumulated. When David
Hill took the famous old Black Hawk stallion into
Addison county he caused loss in the value Of
farm property there equal to million dollars
He found Black Hawk in dray at Lowell, Mass.
1t would have been better for the State of YER
mont if he had never found him. Why, it literal
ly demoralized the farmers all over the State"

Engines Made to Run With Soda.

There are being constructed at the Baldwin
Locomotive Works, Philadelphia, four locomo-
tives which are to be run by soda, which takes
the place of fire. Soda has much the same power
as coal without any of the offensive gases. The
engines are nearly finished, and are to be shipped
to Minneapolis, MIMI, and run in the streets of
that city where steam engines are forbidden
The engines look like ordinary passenger cars
Inside the boiler is placed five tons of soda which
upon being dampened by steam produces an in
tense heat. When the soda is thoroughly satura-
ted, the action ceases and then it is necessary to
restore it by driving the moisture from it when it
is again ready for use. These engines are the
first of their kind built in this country They
have about the same power as those of the New
York Elevated roads, and will readily draw four
light cars. Soda engines are used in Berlin and
other European cities successfully and traverse
the st. Gothard tunnel under the Alps, where
steam engines cannot be used because the length
of the tunnel renders it impossible to devise
system of ventilation which will carry off the foul
gases generated by locomotive.

Flies sometimes Poisonous.

Flies are great pests in summer, and one of the
luxuries of winter is the perfect freedom from
their presence. But they are not only trouble
some, they may do great mischief. They car
communicate the poison from open sores, and
carry disease from one person or locality to anoth
er. scientific chapter in one of our popular
magazines says: "It has been popular opinion
that certain diseases, such as carbuncle and it,
allies, may be transmitted from one animal to
another, or from animals to man, by means of flies
lighting on the diseased spot, and thence passing
to healthy subject. Although this has been
scarcely credited by many persons, it has been
proved by direct experiment during the last sum-
mer to be not simply possible but an actual fact
This is not done by the ordinary blow or meat
fly, but by the common house fly, which, after
coming in contact with sore, and thence passing
to healthy animal imparts the infection to the
latter"

An Ingenious Swindle.

The torn check is being worked in some parts
of the East, greatly to the sorrow of the victims
of the scheme. This is the way the thing is done
-, :. W oAaUJIy IKE the
flled-in check is secured. The two checks laid
one upon the other, so that the edges are exactly
even. Both checks are then torn irregularly
across, and in such a way that the signature on
the filled check appears on one piece and the
amount and name of payee ON the other. The
checks have been held together while being torn,
of course one piece of the blank check will exact
ly fit the other pieces of the filled check. The
swinder then fills in one piece of the blank check
with the name of the payee and the amount to
suit himself. takes it with the piece of genuine
check containing the signature Of the bank, and
explains that the check was accidentally torn.
The teller can put the pieces together, and as they
fit exactly the chances are that he will think that
the pieces are parts of the same check and become
q victim of the swindle.

The Meaning Of Bonanza,
Db;JudoI,ab:o TaJo,x

In an English magazine an attempt is made to
give series of Americanisms; that is to say,
words coined or invented in America. Under
the word Bonanza the definition is given "Spanish,
a big scheme by which, honestly or otherwise,
much money is made" Upon this critic pounces
and says that bonanza means "good fortune or
good luck" Bonanza is indeed Spanish word,
and very naturally came into use in California OF
Nevada. But it does not mean ga big scheme
or "good luck" 1t is nautical-a seagoing-
word, ard means fair weather at sea. If the
reader will refer to St. Matthew, viii, 26, he will
read that, after the Lord rebuked the wind and
the sea, "there was great calm" And if refer
ence is next had to the Spanish version of the
New Testament he will find the phrase there
given, "una grande bonanza" 1t is easy to un.
derstand how the word came into its fgurative
use-as meaning happy, calm and good hope
after weary search.

spring, it suddenly sunk out of sight. Men have

new outlet, but no traces have been found of it,
and it looks now as If it had gone to stay.

quickly each time; but, seeing that she
could not get at this cat, which was
always too quick for her, she placed her
self at the edge Of the mirror, and looking
alternately on one side and the other, she
made quite sure that the cat which she
had just seen neither was nor had beer
behind the mirror. Then she arrived at
the conclusion that the cat was inside it.
But how did she proceed to test this con-
clusion, the last that remained to her?
Keeping her place at the edge of the
mirror, she rose on her hind feet and
stretched out her fore paws to feel the
thickness of the glass; then, aware that
it did not afford sufficient space to contain
a cat, she withdrew dejectedly. Being con-
WINGED that the matter in question was
phenomenon impossible for her to discover
because it was outside the circle of her
ideas, she never again looked in any
glass, but at once renounced an object
which had vainly excited her curiosity"

in presaging for him an unusual career.
He had read every book he could find
and could spell down" the whole county
at their photographed contests. By dint
OF constant practice he had acquired an
admirably clear and serviceable hand
writing. He occasionally astounded bis
companions by such glimpses of occult
science as that the world is round and
that the sun is relatively stationary. He
wrote for his own amusement and edit
cation, essays on politics, of which gen.
tlemen of standing who had been favored
with a perusal, said with authority, at
the crossroads grocery, The world
can't beat it." One or two of these COM
positions got into print and vastly in
creased the authors local fame. He was
also magnanimous boy, with larger
and kindlier spirit than common. His
generosity, courage and capability of dis
corning two sides to dispute, were re-
markable even then, and won him the
admiration of those to whom such quail
tiles were unknown. But, perhaps, after
all, the thing which gained and fixed his
mastery over his fellows was to a great
degree his gigantic stature and strength.
He attained his full growth, six feet and
four inches, two years before he came of
age He rarely met with man he could
not easily handle. His strength is still
a tradition in Spencer county. One aged
man says that he has seen him pick up
and carry away chicken house weighing
six hundred pounds" At another time,
seeing some men preparing continuance
for lifting some large posts, Abe quickly
shouldered the posts and took them
where they were needed. One of his
employers says: He could sink an ak
deeper into wood than any man I ever
saw" With strength like this and brain
to direct it, man was a born leader in
that country and at that time.

For THE UNIvERSALIsT.
UP HELVELLYN.
BY REV. J. W. HANSON, D. D.

The one thought that has always been
uppermoet with me when viewing
mountain was to reach the top of it. In
early days-thirty years ago-when Ka-
tahdin in Maine, Moosehillock in New
Hampshire, and the various peaks of the
White Mountains, were but rarely as
cended-the two former, indeed, only
by "blazed" trails through the wilder
ness-and Ascutney in Vermont, Holyoke
in Massachusetts, ETC., only had visitors
at rare intervals, among the few who
climbed their azure sleeps, was young
fellow, city bred, who had never seen
tolerable hill until he was twenty-one
Since then, save the inaccessible Alps,
twice visited--whose chief passes have
been surmounted-no considerable emil
hence has been seen but the Unsuitable de-
sire to surmount has seized the mind; and
the wish has been realized indeed, even to
Pixies Peak, which has been assembled
twice by me, and once through nine miles
of snow. To see HelvellyD, was, there
fore, to stand on it's top. What Ameri-
can or English school-boy has not become
familiar with that historical summit?
Since the melancholy incident in 1905,
chronicled by Scott and Wordsworth in
the lines:
81 climbed the dark brow of the mighty Hell
vellyn,"
and
"A barking sound the shepherd hears,
AS cry of dog or fox"
the name and locality have been familiar
to millions who have never seen the peak.
How could a mountain lover and mount
ain-climber see without overcoming?
The route to the base of the elevation
is one of the pleasantest the European
tourist can take. Fresh from Switzer-
land it can be called mountain only by
courtesy, and even to one who had been
all among the Scotch Highlands and
stood on the top of 'the lofty Ben-Lo-
mond," the scenery was not imposing. But
though not to be compared with the Alps,
or even our own White Northumberland
less the Rockies or the Sierras-the mount
aims of the English Lake District pos
sess a unique beauty, none the less in
teresting because entirely unlike those
grander SUBMITS
The locality Is remarkable one. In
the northwestern part of England, on the
borders Of the sea, which is plainly in
sight from several Of the peaks, are
grouped some thirty or more lakes and
tarns ranging from few acres to twenty
square miles each. Of which the principal
are Windermere, Ullswater, Bassenthwaite,

GEOHGE WASHINGTON'S
HORSES.

Washington never lost his liking for
good horse, and he knew what a
good horse was. He had servant who
had been General Braddock's servant
and had been with Washington ever
since the battle of the Monongahela.
Bishop, as he was named, was terrible
disciplinarian, and devoted to his mas
ter's interests. At sunrise every day, he
would go to the stables, where the boys
had been at work since dawn grooming
the Generals horses. Woe to them if
they had been careless! Bishop marched
in with muslin handkerchief in his hand
and passed it over the coats of the horses;
if a single stain appeared on the muslin,
the boy who groomed the horse had to
take thrashing. 1t was no light mat
ter to groom horse in those days, for
Just as the heads of the gentlemen we're
plastered and bewigged, so the horses
we're made to undergo what would seem
to us now rather absurd practice. The
night before a horse was to be ridden, he
was covered from head to foot with a
paste made of whiting and other ingredi-
ents; then he was we'll wrapped in cloth
and laid to sleep on clean straw. By the
next morning the paste had hardened,
and it was then vigorously rubbed in,
and the horse curried and brushed. The
result was a glossy and satiny coat. The
hoofs we're blackened and polished, the
mouth washed, the teeth picked and clean
ed, and the horse was then ready to be,sad-

"My mother dear. my mother dear,

my mother DEAR my mother dear,
My gentle. gentle mother"
I thought l was singing my boy to sleep
with the little ballad of which the above
is the chorus; but the blue eyes opened,
and quiet voice said: Mamma, you
amt always gentle" In self-justifcatiou
/ replied, "But you know, darling, man.
ma has to scold you when you're nangh-
ty." "Yes'm." The argument dropped;
