The Terrible Experience OF Two Miners
In Colorado.

During the great storm recently two
sturdy miners started to ascend one of our
neighboring mountains with the intention
of working claim that lay near its crest.
They made the trip on Norwegian snow
shoes, on which they worked their way up
narrow gulch leading to their property.
As they journeyed on, one of them got TO
be some two hundred yards in advance of
the other, and 1t was while this distance
separated them that the leader by an I'M
happy step overturned p-heavy mass OF
snow and started dreadful slide. He
seized hold OF convenient tree and called
to his companion to Look outl" The
tree was small and bent over under the
weight Of moving snow. He let go and
started with the snow. The long shoes by
this time were firmly anchored in the NOV
ing mass, and he was hurried along with
no power to stop himself by Selling the
trees which he passed. Fortunately, he
was on the toll end Of the avalanche, and
thus rode it in safety, with nothing coming
behind TO cover him up.
When he found he had thus to be en- un-
willing passenger upon tho terrible train he
looked ahead to see what had become of his
partner The Inter, seeing that there was
no escape on either side, turned heels to
the roaring mass and started on o life-and-
death run right down thesgulch. Then
followed wild and thrilling chase. The
man who was anchored on top of the snow
yelled at the man in front TO run, while he
who was pursued strained every muscle to
keep out of the jaws of the death that was
close at his beols. The sight wonld have
been amusing il ii had not been OF such q
serious nature. The race was kept up for
more than mile, and during the entire
distance the fellow who was on top kept
yelling, Run, you ---; run" and the
hair OF the fellow who was running held
his hat poised four inches from his head
while he headed for the valley. Often the
rolling snow struck the heels of his shoes,
but II did not quito get him. More quickly
than it takes to tell it the hunted man
dashed out into the valley, and what he
thought was safety. The valley, however,
was more dangerous than the mountain, as
an unseen gulch crossed it, into which the
hunted man fell Providence, though, was
kind to him, for the slide had spent ito
force and the snow piled up on the bank
over which he had fallen.
When the two were able to look around
one was lying at tho bottom Of the gulch,
while the other was seated upon the crust
OF the snow bank that looked over its edge.

The Expires. Business Makes Elm All Rich

The Express Business Makes Elm All Rich.
The vast system Of expressing, which Is
one Of the greatest business interests OF the
day, originated in Boston. w. +. Harm
den was the originator, in 1889, yet he was
not permitted to live long enough to realize
its subsequent magnitude. In 1910 two
Boston men started, in the little shop No.
Court street, an express which has been
world famed. They were Alvin Adams and
William b. Dinsmore. For few years 1t
was hard work for these persevering gen.
tlemen, but their New York agency, under
the management Of the plucky Dinsmore,
was their salvation. The enterprise made
vast fortunes, not only for the projectors,
but for those associated with them. The
great business of the Boston house is super
intended by Waldo Adams, assisted by d.
Lowering, Jr. About the year 1841 Benja.
min p. Cheney started at No. Court street
IN express to Manchester and Concord, N.
II. Previous to undertaking this enterprise
be was On agent for several New Hampshire
stage lines. He Is now millionaire, and
is regarded as one Of the best business men
in Boston. In 1841 John h. Hall, at 8
Court street, formed the nucleus Of an ex-
press business which for years was known
as the Eastern Express Company, but which
was few years since merged into the
Amer lean Express Company, one OF the
most extensive companies Of this country.

Religious Liberty.

"There was very sad case in the police
court this morning." said lawyer to his
wife. " A girl WAS arrested for stealing
fine lace veil. The woman who owned the
veil came to court, and, with heartlessness,
persisted in prosecuting the poor girl. The
judge, however, would not allow himself to
be influenced, SO he released the girl"
:" She did not prove that she was innocent,
did she n "Oh, no." "Then why did the
judge release her ~ Well, he said that
he had no right to interfere in religious
matters" " Religious matters n Yes,
he said that the laws Of the land grant to
every woman the right to take the veil"
The woman did not reply for several min
utes. Then she said ~ know woman
who married fool. Pm the woman"

Secrets or Baker's Bread.

A barrel of good -four should make from
270 to $50 fve-cent loaves. Many bakers
blend four brands, say two Minnesota
springs and two Indiana winters, before
they get the right alloy. Others use only
one grade Of spring and two Of wheat win
ter wheat. These makes the best brands
Of fancy bread Formerly yeast was made
of malt, potatoes and hops, and this is yet ex-
tensively used. Fancy bread bakers, how
ever, use patent yellow compressed yeast.
II is popularity supposed that bakers use
alum extensively in order to whiten theiz
bread. Such is not the fact. There is no
necessity for the use of alum, and it is not
used in the trade. There are about twenty
large steam bakeries in the city which give
employment to several hundred men. One
of theae noted Broadway establishment
makes specially Of Vienna bread and does
nm immense business. Vienna bread Is
made in alright ovens, of the best grade

generated settles back on tho bread instead

cnIEF ENGrNERR MELvILLE,s TALK.
rso Tells OF Bitter Experiences In snu AFes
tic and Wants 90 Fad the Pole.


It's a terrible thing to be cold,n said
Chief Engineer Melville, of the United
States navy, at the rooms Of the United Ser
vice Club, the other evening. +" But
1t is more terrible to suffer the pangs
of hunger, to crawl on hands and knees on
the ice, as have done, that my comrades
might be saved. It was not for myself,
but for my country and my fellow-man.
When l returned from Siberia prom
Used myself and the whole world that
would never lecture on the trials and suf-
ferings of Arctic explorations--tha would
never coin money out OF the blood and
bones OF my dead companions" Continu-
ing he said: "For more than three hum
bred years some of the best blood and
brains OF the world have been devoted to
solving the problem Of the far North. II
was for grand and noble purpose-tha
benefit Of man, that we have knowledge,
which Is wealth, power and happiness"
Mr.. Melville spoke of the peculiar alb
sence of scurvy in the later American expe-
ditions, particularly those of the Polaris,
Jeanette and Greedy party while Sir
George Mares exploring party were terri
bly, afflicted. He thought i. was mntter
OF food, clothing and well-ventilated quar-.
ters. He had frequently been asked how
he hoped to escape the fate of those who
had gone before him II he attempted to
reach the Pole. His answer was that the
bitter school Of experience led him to be-
lieve that the Pole could be reached safely
and that the proper route was by Franz
Josef Land, the southern end Of which was
accessible every year.
Mr.. Melville then described the Arctic
outfits necessary for explorers and the mis-
takes made in making them too heavy. He
said 81 have slept comfortable on top of
sled in sleeping bag, the thermometer
100 degrees below the freezing point Of
water"
The Arctic sleeping-bags, he explained,
were worn with the hair inside thus re-
versing nature. 1t was the only fur cloth
ing worn TINT way. He thought the very
idea Of unlimited appropriations by Com
gress caused the Arctic expedition to be
loaded down with the worthless rubbage Of
every crank in the land. His sleeping-bag
weighed eleven pounds. The Greedy expe-
dition bags weighed twenty-five pounds
elegant things to sleep in, but death to
those who attempted to carry them.n In
conclusi,L, the Chief Engineer said that
with his knowledge, born Of experience, he
expected ut seine future day to conduct q
party in safety to the Arctic regions, and to
find grand, public-spirited citizen, Of vast
means, who would aid him in solving the
problem Of commercial pole. The road
was one Of trial and tribulation, but the OBJ
ject was attainable and the scientific world
uould not ba aafiafiad until n was raach.J

the estimation OF the amusement

itself nothing but what is good can be
said. Refinement marks its every fea-
ture. 1t is brimful Of innocent fun
from beginning to end. The company
is a strong one, each member being well
