WILD BILLS WAY.

1T has been good many years since was

over paper from San Francisco his present
place of residence. The last time 1 was in
this city," continued he, Il made the acouaint-
ance Of Wild Bill. whose sudden taking of al
Deadwood is still mentioned in the papers. A
few months after leaving Denver / again met
Wild Bill in Salt Lake City. Ii was rather an
exciting time, for Bill had just killed man in
the streets. The circumstances of the killing
were about as follows:
The night before the affray Bill sat down 70
game OF cards with an old frontiersman
named JACK Williams. Both the men were
good card players, but luck went against Bill
and about O'Clock in the morning he staked
his last cent and lost IT, With some hesitation
he drew out his watch, which was a fine gold
repeater and was the present OF a friend OF
former days. and put the watch up against
goo. At the end Of ten minutes the watch
was gone.
Williams said Bill as he arose from his
seat, put the watch in the hands of the bar
keeper and / will redeem il in tine morning.
"'Oh, guess not, was the reply. The
watch is mine and I'll wear il down town IN
the morning.
"a wicked CLEAN appeared in Bills eyes
He again asked that the watch be left at the
saloon.
{" III wear it, was the reply.
" III you wear that watch You'll die said
Bill with firm tone. What time will you be
on the street,
"'ren o'clock was the laughing reply. Tho
men parted.
True to his word Williams sauntered down
the street at 10 o'clock the next morning. Bill
met him at the principal street corner.

HARD RIDING IN THE EAST.
Some Feats That Have Been Done by

During the last century, when long Journeys,
called riding posts, were much IN vogue in
Europe among the aristocracy and wealthy

was we'll known, however, that distances OF
500 to l 200 or even 1 500 miles had frequently
been covered at the rate Of from 100 to 100 or
even $50 miles per diem, but the knowing ones
thought that the enormous distance Of q 100
miles at 100 per day would be likely 10 break
any horseman down Nevertheless. Mr. John
Moodcock, who was selected TO ride by Mr.
Shafts, performed the feat without any extra
fatigue or punishment He used thirty horses
and rode three or four Of them each day.
In Turkey the sultsn's mails md dispatches
rom outlying provinces used to be carried by
lartars riding post with relays OF horses
changed every 20 or 80 miles. and are now in
some parts of tho country where telegraph has
notsbeen established. The same man in charge
went the whole distance; these couriers would

time the Tartars took to perform the distance
was fortnight, and on urgent occasions il has
been done in twelve days, ard even in eleven
days.
There 10 no doubt whatever about this be-
cause the route through Asia Minor, from the
Persian Gulf. was in former days, before the
Red Sea route was established, often used by
officers and others who did not mind rough
travel and wero in a hurry to get home or to
get out to India, and they often rode with the
Tartars from end to end, besides which the
British resident at Bagdsd, or rather the resi-
dency, was for more than q century in the
habit OF transmitting dispatches from India TO
Constantinople and Europe by these same car
riers. As much as $50 miles per day has often
been done for eight or ten days by the Tsrtars.
They only rested four hours out Of the twenty
four, and pushed on the rest of the time at
rate Of to 10 miles an hour

Hans Makart's Lovely Model,

From the London Daily News
A widow charged at Vienna the other day
with throwing wine bottle at q mans head, to
his serious injury, appealed to the mercy Of
the magistrate on the ground Of her destitute
condition. She told the following story of her
life: She said she had been called .the beau
tiful Emily" and was the famous model who
posed for several of Hans Makarts largest
NEUROLOGICAL pictures Afterward she had mar
ried a well-to-do manufacturer, whom she
taught to be idle and fond Of luxury, SO that
at his death she was left penniless. She had
since lived by writing letters to benevolent
ladies and gentlemen describing her destitute
position, which was such that she had not often
meal or fire and never rag to put upon
her back. She was especially animated in In
forming the court that, while she generally OBJ
tanned some sort Of help, lady had once writ
ten to her that she did not give clothes to peo-

as an insult to her former profession. The

Curiosities Of Sunburn.


Sunburn on the snow has been the subject Of
an interesting investigation by DIR. Robert L.
Bowlea Alpine climbers concede the curious
fact that sun on snow burns more quickly than
on rocks or in heated valleys at low elevation
and DR.. Bowles remarks that sunlight reflected
from freshly fallen snow acts much more en-
SPECIFICALLY on the skin than that reflected from
older snow. DR.. Bowles one brilliant day
painted his face brown and assembled the Cor
ner Graf, where there was much snow. There
were about eighty others making the ascent

A Good Census Yarn,

From the PaII MAI UaZette
Apropos Of the coming census, contempo-
rary is reminded of an old story which went
the round Of the last census period. During
the taking Of the census in India in 1881, in
district in the Central Provinces. some of the
tribes took fright and ran away. The district
officer finally induced their head men to listen
to explanations. Relying on the fact that
wagers of various kinds figure extensively in
Indian folklore, he solemnly assured them that
the queen OF England and the empress OF Rus
STA, having quarreled as to which ruled over
the most subjects, had laid big bet on the
point. He went ON to explain that the census
was being taken in order to settle the bet. and
he warned his hearers in q spirited peroration
that, il they stand in the jungle and refused to
be counted the queen would lose her money,
and they would be disgraced forever, as
nimak-haram, or traitors to their salt The
story served its purpose and the tribes came In.

An Organ Of ElImInAtion Like the Lungs
and tho Kidneys.

and tho Kidneys.
Nature has expended much labor on
the perspiratory system-has constructed
for each Of us many miles OF tubing and
millions of seoretinR glands, each
regulated by its microscopic nerve.
Not only does this system perform an
essential service in keeping the bodily
temperature down to the normal point o
safety, ninety7eight degrees Fahrenheit,
by the evaporation of the perspired fluid,
but it is also an organ Of elimination
like the kidneys and the lungs.
An adult excretes full pound Of sweat
daily, and this may be increased tothree
or four pounds From this fact may be
understood both the danger Of suddenly
checking the outflow of the poisonous
material, and the advantage, when one
has taken cold, of the Russian bath.
The quantity and character. of the fiuid
render a frequent change Of clothing q
matter of no small Importance. = .
Some diseases, as acute rheuma tism,
phthisis, general debility, are aeoompa-
MED by excessive perspiration, which is
also sometimes purposely induced by
the use Of certain drugs called di-
aphoTetics. As we are all aware, the
amount of Precipitation is abnormal in
hot weather. The heat Of a muggy day
is aggravated and made more oppressive
by the slow evaporation from the sur
face OF the body. The atmosphere is
too fully charged with moisture to
vapoTize the sweat.
Excessive sweating is sometimes par
tial, being limited to the soles. palms,
or to one-half OF the face, head or body,
and that, too, without any discoverable
cause The touching of one side Of the
tongue with salt will sometimes cause o
profuse .perspiration. upon the corre-
spending side of the body.
Precipitation may also be- deficient
This is generally the case in diseases Of
the kidneys, In the early stages Of fever,
and in certain skin diseases. When the
sebaceous or oil secretion is deficient,
there is apt to be a like deficiency in
the perspiratiOn, rendering the skin
dry and rough. I4.;r...r,..t
Precipitation may have an offensive
Odor, especially that which is secreted
sweat and the sebaceous secretion
undergo chemical change into the fat
ty acids. some Of which are like those
found In rancid butter. This condition
is sometimes due to lowered vitality OF
the system. The affected parts should
be repeatedly washed with tar soap, and
the linen frequently changed. The
soles Of the stockings should be daily
disinfeeted with a saturated. solution of
boraoic acid. Cork soles should be worn
in the Shoes, and be similarly disin-
fected.-Youth's Companion.
