ana another carrying the holder to the
second station for ~, IL and 20 cents
for the three tickets, respectively. These
tickets are good between any two con-
tiguous stations. without regard to the
actual distance, and are sold in bulk at
3 and 10 per cent. discount. The zones
are fourteen in number, the circles
being drawn about ten miles apart.
The fourteenth zone includes all dis
tances Of lao miles and over. The rate
of the first zone is very low-less than
seven-tenths OF a cent mile for the
lowest class and 1.6 cents for hrst-class
express-and increases more than in
proportion to the distance through the
different zones until the rate at the
fourteenth ranges from / cent to TX
cents per mile for the 40 miles. Be-
yond this the rate again decreases, ow-
ing to the fact that any additional dis
lance is not charged for. Thus a trip of
several hundred miles may be made for
the same price as one of lao.
This innovation went into effect Au-
gust l of last year, and was introduced
on the State lines-about one-half Of the
total mileage Of the country. Two pri-
vate companies have since adopted the
zone system. During the first month of
the new tariff the number of passengers
carried on the State lines was increased
500, 600, and the passenger receipts we're
increased about 800, 900.
From the report of the Austro-Hun-
garian Minister of Commerce it appears
that the passenger receipts of the Hun
garian railways for 1889 were So 1853, 105
forms, an increase of nearly 1000, 900
forms over those of 1SSS-this in the
face of reduction of rates equal to more
than 80 per cent The new system was
in effect during only five months of
1889. This extraordinary reduction and
extraordinary increase have excited the
amazement of the railway world. Several
foreign railways have sent representa-
tives to Hungary to examine into the
results of the change and report on
them.-San Francisco Argonaut

THE TALKING DEMON.
How He Was at Last BanIshed From HI
FavOrIte Haunts.

How He Was at Last BanIshed From His
FavOrite Haunts.
According to historical accounts VAL
ladolid, in Yucatan, has been the the
ater of remarkable events in days not
very distant. 1t is asserted, on the au-
thority of the church, that the place
was once haunted by a demon OF the
worst character, called "a demonio par
lero," or talking devil, because he held
nightly discourse with any who chose to
question him, answering like a parrot.
Though never visible he seems to have
been merry sort of devil, dancing,
laughing, playing on guitars and casta-
nets After time he took to throwing
stones into houses, pelting people with
eggs, slandering honest folk-in short,
getting the whole town by the ears to
such an extent that the Bishop Of Mer-
Ida was obliged to interfere, and forbid
any one to speak to the demon under
pain of severe spiritual punishment. 1t
is related that when the people alb
stained from any further communica-
ton with him the demonio wept and
walled, and finally took revenge by
burning houses. At this alarming juno
ture the cure was compelled to seek d.
vine assistance, and after a long tussle
succeeded in ousting the devil, who fed
TO the woods. In an official report the
pious DIR. Sanchez de Aguilar says: "An
aunt of mine, one day vexed with
this devil, said to him, Go
out Of my house, thou evil
one And she gave him
blow on the face that left his nose red
der than cochineal. Forty years after
ward, when | was cure Of the same
city, the demonio returned to infest
some Of my annexed villages, especially
that of Yulcoba. He always came at
midnight or at one o'clock a M, with a
great whirlwind, dust and noise as Of
hurricane. Stones swept over the en-
tire pueblo, and though the Indians
promptly put out all the fires in their
kitchens, even this did not avail, for
from the flames with which the devil
himself was tormepted proceeded flashes
like mighty comets or wandering stars,
which did fire two or three houses at
once, and spread so rapidly that there
were not people enough toput them out.
], being sent for to come and drive him
away, conjured the demon with the faith
and zeal that God gave me, and COM
manded him not to enter that village
again, whereupon the fires and the
Whirlwind ceased, to the glory and
honor of the Divine Majesty which has
given such power to the priests" Pc
ing thus banished from Yulcoba, the
demon returned to Valladolid with new
burnings but was finally barred out
altogether by setting up consecrated
crosses on all the surrounding hills.
These he could not pass, and to this day
hundreds of the holy crosses stand guard
around Valladolid. b. Ward, in

NATURES GIGANTIC WORK.
A Region Whsre She Does Every Thing ON
q Big Scale.


. Big Scale.
There must have been q time in the
remote past when the Puget Sound basin
was covered with a growth which for
rank luxur ance would put to blush any
thing that grows here now. The old
mossbackers of the present day, the ad-
venturous spirits of the last three de-
cades who pushed their way through al
most impenetrable wilds to settle here,
point with pride to the giant frs, tower
ing 800 feet high, and from 6 to 10 feet
through at the stumps, to the masses Of
ferns and s feet high to hop vines 40
feet in length, to oats that yield 100
bushels per acre, and ask what other
country on earth can show equal pro-
ductiveness. And yet this growth of
to-day must be as nothing compared with
that which grew here ages ago, and
ginning to be prospected.
These fields are of enormous extent.
In the basin Of the Cowlitz river, which
rises ~ Mount st. Helens, which Win
throp says WAS still an active volcano
when he was WriAng ''Canoe and Sad

are vast deposits still unexplored. In
the Carbon river region there is one
vast bed underlying three whole town
ships, one vein in which IL "a feet thick,

In the Raging River, Snoqualm' e,
Skagit, Nooksas and Wenatchie basins
there are other vast deposits-heW vast

pany now has eighteen men in the field

in most cases is easy, as the beds crop

places, and in same instances can be

General Alger, of Michigan. and his
partners have tract OF $4,000 acres of

reason to believe is generally underlaid
with six-foot vein OF coal of fairly good

A Novel RAT Exterminatnr.

A novel method of Kidding steam
boats of rodents has been successfully
tested at Pittsburgh. The youngest son
of the captain of river steamer was
some time ago presented with "a pair
of spotted snakes, which. as they were
perfectly harmless, were deposited in
the hull of the boat until they could be
conveniently housed. A few days ago
great commotion was noticed among
the rats, which always infest steamboats,
and barges in great numbers, and hun.
dreds of them were observed scampering
ashore on the handspring and stern
lines. The evacuation continued all
night, and in the morning the captain
found both snakes dead, having been
literally torn to pieces by the Infatuated
animals, but not one of the latter was
found on the boat.

RIDING EXTRAORDINARY.
Remarkable Feat Performed By an English
HOrRemau.


Horseman.
Wagers amounting to many thousand
pounds were laid upon ride undertaken
by Mr.. Cowper. Thornhi1l. keeper of the
Bell Inn, in Huntingdonshire, England,
April 90, 1745. 1t was considered the
greatest feat of Craftsmanship performed
up to that time. contemporary publi-
cation gives this account of it: HE set
out from his home. at Stilton, at four
o'clock in the morning, came to the
Queens Arms against Shoreditch, Lon
don, in three hours and ffty-two min
utes; returned to Stilton again in four
hours and twelve minutes, and then
came back to London again in four hours
and thirteen minutes for wager of 500
guineas He was allowed fifteen hours
to perform it in, which is 213 miles, and
he did it in twelve hours and seventeen
minutes. 1t is reckoned the greatest
performance Of the kind ever yet known.
The roads for many miles were lined
with people to see him pass and re-pass."
Another remarkable ride was that Of
Robert Carey, from London to Edin-
burgh, to inform King James of the
death of Queen Elizabeth. He set out
Thursday forenoon, and by night had
reached Doncaster. 155 miles away.
Next day he arrived at Witherington,
where he attended to various matters of
business. He would have arrived in
Edinburgh by noon of Saturday had he
not been thrown and kicked by his
horse. AS it was. he reached the Scotch
capital in the evening, having accom-
plished ride of fully 400 miles in the
daylight of three days.-Chicago News.

PALACE CAR MANNERS.

How to Enjoy All the Pleasures and Lux
1riSs OF Modern Travel.
Do not rush In and grab the frst seat
YOU see. Enter leisurely and quietly,
as you would if the p2rloT were not on
wheels. Bow pleasantly to the porter
and give him a quarter.
Be not over particular about seats, as
1t will indicate you do not travel often.
Say languidly, "Oh, anywhere on the
shady side" and hand the porter half
dollar. He will give you a good seat,
depend upon it.
Unless you are an experienced trav-
eler, the disposition of your extra wraps
may bother you II you attempt to do it
yourself, besides exhibiting your igno-
rance to a whole car load. Nod at the
porter in a familiar sort of way, slip half
a dollar into his hand, and in a jifRy he
will have every thing out of your roach
and securely fastened On. in and among
all sorts Of oontrivances which you had
not even observed.
II you are so unfortunate as to need
the presence of q euspidor, do not go
hunting around the car for one. That
IS exceedingly ugar. COntrive to drop
= two-dollar bill in the porter'S pocket,
and the cuspidor will be forthcoming.
In all probability the car will be as
hot as an equatorial conservatory. 1t
generally is. II yoa attempt to raise g
window, the chances are you will fail, as
you are not familiarwith the secret spring
which holds it. Recline lazily on your
chair. and watch the porter until you
catch his eye, when. with slight move
ment of your little finger, you sigh with
the rapid flight of five-dollar bill from
your pocket to his, and in few seconds
yon will bo enjoying adelightful breeze
free from dust and cinders.
Should you become thirsty, you can g
20 the water cooler and take little
without extra charge. When nearing
your journeys end, the porter will re
mind you Of the fact, and stand before
YOU, hat in hand. Accompany him t.
the alcove, and add few bills TO hi
purse, If he can find room for them. Thu
VieGr of the brushing you receive viii
depend entirely on the denomination o

purchasers are the poor who buy mended

1t is a rather remarkable fact that no
one has yet devised any means of utiliz-

System on Which Railroad Passenger Rates

Suppose you could go to New York,

A European country has adopted .
similaS plan, and tits spreading through
out the continent A novel system Of
railway charges has been in operation in
Hungary for q little more than six
months The experiment. though radi-
cal, has apparently been sEGcessful.
Passenger rates on q majority OF the
Hungarian roads, are no longer based
upon the cost of service or what the
traffic will bear or even upon the mile
age. The rates are regulated according
TO the "zone system" The State rail-
roads OF Hungary had been doing badly,
under the old systematic earnings fell
from 81, 800 a mile in 1887 to $1,000 In
1883, and the Government felt that mat
ters could not be worse than they were.
The zone system Of charges is based
upon the theory that there. are two
classes OF passenger traffic which can be
increased in Volume-the passengers
travelling short distance and those
going a long distance. The former are
generally provided for on railroads by
Communication rates, the latter have not
received attention heretofore. A further
point advanced by the advocates of the
zone system Is that where the ears are
not occupied to their full capacity an in.
crease of traffic necessitates only an In
finite small increase OF expenses. The
advocates Of the system, therefore, pro
pose three zones--a short zone, long
one and q medium one. The Hungarian
railroads extended the idea somewhat
by issuing two classes of tickets, those
for zones and those for short distances
In the latter class we're two tickets, one
