JEFFERSON, TEX May 22-This morn
ing about daybreak there was frightful
collision Of two freight trains at Lodi.
The north bound train was loaded with
cattle, aud the south-bound WAS made up
Of empty stock cars. In attempting to
clear the main track it was discovered
that the switch was not long enough to
receive all the cars, thereby leaving four
cars on the main track. The north bound
WAS going down grsde at rapid
speed when the engineer discovered the
cars on the main track ahead Of him. He
and the ffeman jumped from the train
for their lives, but in doing so received
supposed fatal injuries. There were be.
tween fifty and seyenty-fv cattle killed
Immediately, and several cars were COM
pletely wrecked, the cars being knocked
almost into kindling wood. Most of the
crew except the engineer were seriously
hurt.

RIDING IN MEXICO.
Lighting a Cigarette While sitting on a
Bueking Horse-The secret Of It.

Lighting Cigarette While sitting Oh a
Bueling Horse--The secret Of It.
The great feature of all Mexican riding is
looseness Of their seat 1t is oil done by
balance. And when say "alln it means
wonderful deal l have seen Mexican
named Louis-to be sure he was accredited
to be the best rider out there, and for my
own part / cannot conceive that there can
be better in the world have seen that
man cross his legs over the horn Of the big
Mexican saddle, and, throwing the reins on
the neck Of the horse, calmly roll a cigarette
while the horse bucked up and down with
him.
know it is asking great deal to expect
eredence for such feat as this, but yet,
when we consider the pitch OF perfection
reached by circus riders among our own
countrymen, tho very much higher degree Of
excellence attained by one remarkable mAn
out Of a nation whose members we may also
say arc born ON horseback, is not so alto
gether beyond tho prospect OF belief though
there is of course an enormous difference be-
tween riding the trained things in a circus
and the mustangs caught wild upon the
praries. The Mexican saddle with its great
stirrups and tho horn on which the lassO
hangs, gives, Of course, very many good
points d'appui; but tho performances Of these
Mexicans on bare back arc wonderful enough.
You sec herd Of wild horses driven
through the narrow pass Of the corral Your
Mexican, with hair rope in his hand, will
drop from the beam above upon the back OF
the horse 1t is wished to reclaim to domestic
uses.
In an instant he is away, snorting, below
ing, positively shrieking with terror, in the
midst Of the laundering stampede OF his fel-
lows, who are scarce less terrified than hinl-
self. He cannot buck, while the herd presses
closely upon him. Tho Mexican leans for
ward with the rope in both hand, passes it
over the horses head into tho wide open
mouth, and forces it behind his teeth. Then
he takes a turn with it under the lower jaw,
and there he has him bitted and bridled.
After little over bali an hour be comes
back with him-broken; not $50 that a child
could ride him. but so that Mexican can.
or course they are small horses. Icannot
say how the Mexicans would fare with one Of
those big Australian buclers. They main-
tain, however, that this loose seat OF theirs
does not irritate horse IN the way grip
with the knees does; and this fully believe.

The supposition that an ostrich lays but
one egg annually, and drops that careleSsly
in the sand, is nonsense. So also is the fam
liar story that the bird is In the habit Of
polzing his head in the sand, thinking that it
may thus escape the observation Of its pur-
suer. The ostrich is no such fool The 70
male lays as many eggs annually as any
goose or hen, and all the birds i'll the flock
use the same nest, which is n hole dug in the
sand in some secluded place where they are
safe from disturbance. When there are
twenty or thirty eggs the male bird matches
them, sitting upon the nest continually for
thirty days, and is fed meantime by the fe-
males. During tho period Of incubation the
male bird is in an ugly mood and attacks
fiercely with his bill and feet any man or
animal that approaches him. As the chicks
are Matched their mothers take care Of them,
the brood being divided among the flock by
some instinct, and the cock is free to attend
to his own affairs again. Very often eggs
are found on the pampas, but such have been
dropped in the chase or by hens that have
been unable to reach the nest.-Philadelphia

Waters Of the Dend sea.

A decidedly picturesque range Of hills, Of
no mean proportion, stretches along each
side of the sea, which averages six to ten
miles in width and is about fUrty-sx miles in
its length north and south. The waters
closely bathe the foot Of those hills and
stretch towards the south in a beautiful,
mirror-like sheet, clear as crystal and be-
witchingly blue in color. The scene is by no
means one Of desolation, although no busy
city or handsome villas line its shores, no
white winged messengers Of commerce sail
its placid waters. The consciousness of the
fact that this is the Dead sea, whose waters
no living thing inhabits, and that stately
buildings are not upon its borders, nor grace
full ships upon its bosom, these precOnceived
reflections, and not its visible self, give rise
to the endless descriptions Of the unspeakablo
Loneliness OF the Dead sea.
We put of our clothing and most heartily
enjoy swim in the Dead sea. It is n most
peculiar and indescribably pleasing sensation,
not to be able TO sink. Going in feet fore
most, that is walking, we could not duck our
heads. Lying on our backs with arms
folded across the breast, or hands forming
sort Of pillow for the head, We floated, like
90 many logs, upon the surface Of the water.

Simple Tests That Can he Applied b,

The board of health has not interfered
often with the manufacture Of candy in New
York city, though the fact that candy is very
frequently adulterated is well known, and
there can be no doubt that occasional inter
ference would be Wholesome. It would be
doing injustice TO many confectioners 70 say
that the practice is almost universal, and yet
one is tempted to sly it, for the proportion
OF adulterated confectionery that is sold is
very large compared with the pure. The
subject has not escaped notice. and Dr. Ed.
son has recently given some points of inter
est to every candy eater, and has described
some simple tests that may be easily and I'D
vantageously applied before eating any sus-
pected candy. He describes the adultera-
tions as being Of three kinds; those for bulk,
those for color and those for flavor.
