A PHANTOM MULE TRAIN.
A Weird Story that is Believed In the
Rocky Mountain Region.
ron, the Meadyille Her

(From the Meadville Herald.)
The guide told me the story as fcl-
lows: stAbout twelve years ago al old
man by the name of Cearnals was the
proprietor of jack train with which he
used to bring provisions and other COM
modities into that mining camp you see
beneath you there. This was before the
railroads entered the Businesses Of these
mountains and everything was brought
by mule team or by these jack trains
into camp. The treasures which were
found in the hills were carried out the
same way.
"One time the old man, Cearnals, did
not arrive in the camp on time. Twas
in the winter-and the coolest one, too,
ever experienced in these hills. A
searching party was sent out to find him
and his train, as the people who had
goods consigned to him feared that some
accident had befallen him. Near where
We are now is where he and his train
were found frozen to death. And now
each night may be seen the jack train
Just as they were, but in the form OF
spectres, filing along their way to the
camp. Get out and We will go down the
trail piece and see them %
We got out of the buggy, and, fasten-
ing the horse to stunted pine, we de-
scended the other side of the range on
the road to Alma. After most perilous
and tortuous walk of half an hour, on
account of the slippery condition of the
ground, which which was covered with
snow, my companion led me to a point
near the old Leadville trail, which could
be distinctly seen above Us against the
side of the mountain. Looking at his
watch, he remarked that it was almost
time for them to appear. After kicking
the snow from couple of powders we
sat down, and in silence awaited develop
ments. My companion would not say q
word, but simply pufed away at cigar,
his looks being cast in the direction of
the trail.
We waited at least half an hour, but it
seemed week to me, cold wave hav-
ing arisen, and was almost frozen and
wishing myself at home. Suddenly my
companion clutched me nervously by
the arm and pointed to the trail. The
sight that l saw made each individual
hair on my head stand on end, for there
on the trail, coming around sharp
angle caused by bowlder, was jack
train of twenty-three animals. They al
emitted faint phosphorescent glow,
which made them appear all the more
vivid against the side of the hill. They
were loaded with different articles of
merchandise, and the last one, which
the spectral driver was urging on with
his short goad, seemed to be loaded
with -four. Every once in a while, as
the train slowly filed along, this last jack
would lean his load against projecting
rock. as if resting himself. This would
cause the driver to punch it with his
short stick. The weird spectors slowly
passed from view around the hill, and,
more dead than alive from fright, we
made our way to where We had left our
horse and buggy. The guide informed
me while on the way back to the city
that this strange sight could be seen any
dark night.

War Without Bloodshed.

It is well known toat the nitrite Of amyl

very quickly in human being breathing
it's fumes. The effect is equivalent, tenn
porarily, to . paralytic stroke. 1t is very
cheap and plentiful, and Mr.. Edward
Weston, the electrician, proposes to use
shells filed with this chemical instead OF
gunpowder. He argues that few gallons
of this nitric dashed on the deck OF war
ship would soon render her crew helpless.
The most powerful ironclads would be even
more vulner able than the light cruisers,
for they would be sucking down great
draughts of air through their artificial
ventilators, and the odor would thus rapid

crew being rendered helpless for an hour
or two the ship could, of course, be towed

A TIme.PIece With a History.

Across the corridor from the roomy
offices of Secretary Whitney is the com.
pass-testing room Of the Navy Depart
ment. 1 strolled in there today and
saw two very interesting curios. One
was a quaint, high backed chair which
had been used for years by Gideon
Welles, who was the secretary of the
navy in Lincoln's war cabinet. "Sit in
IT." said Lieut.. Denfeld, ''and l will
show you the star attraction of the
room" He unlocked a glass case and
carefully uncovered an ordinary looking
ships chronometer. But its history was
years in an Arctic cairn without receiv-
ing the faintest damage. 1t had been
cached in the Arctic wilds in 1872 by
members of the Inflated Polaris expe-
dition, and in 1876 it was found there
by Her Majesty's ship Discovery. 1t
was taken to London Undue course, and
later returned to tho government of the
United States. The report accompany
ing it states that the London testers
discovered that the chronometer lost
but one-tenth of a second per day,
which was the loss statement in the rate
paper of the American manufacturers.
The officers of the British ship state that
while they were there the mercury of
the thermometer was frozen for forty
seven days, although on one day the
mercury marked 1O4 degrees below
freezing. This is consid cred to be the
severeSt test ever borne by time-mark-
ing instrument.

Origin of Drinking TOasts.

How the word toast should be used at
the same time to name plate of food
and the drinking to the health or well
fare of person, is not without curious
interest. We need go back only about
two hundred years to find the use of tea
and coffee almost unknown in England
and in the colonies. Our ancestors Of
good substantial estate were accustomed
to drink toasts at then meals as a regu-
lar beverage.
Slices of bread or the crusts of the
family loaf were toasted at the fire until
they were quite brown, and were then
put into boiling water. This mada a
drink that was relished even without
sugar.
Rye used to be roasted in the kernel
for this purpose, and it was sold as "do-
nestle coffee" at New England grocer
les not moro than seventy five years ago.

A Girls Wit Defeats the Turks.

Once, when the Turks had begun to
scale the wall of fortified church in
Pennsylvania, girls wit saved the peo-
pie from capture and death. Behind the
church was little garden, and in it a
dozen beehives which it was the girls
duty to care for. Selling hive, she
ran up on the fortress-wall, and hurled it
down among the enemy. Again and
again she repeated the process until ten
or more swarms of maddened bees were
singing the Turks. They were blinded
and dismayed, and unable to cope with
the insect foe, beat hasty retreat.
They had been discounted by girls
