TRAVELLERS in India sometimes have
strange bedfellows. A f~irst-class pas
senger. by a slow passenger train rum
ming between Howrah and Assensole,
was disagreeably surprised to find, on
waking from q sound sleep, that some
thing cold had come in contact with his
hand. On looking at his hand, what
was his horror to find that underneath
it was q cobra. AS the snake was
asleep and had not coiled itself around
the hand, the gentleman sprang up and
managed to evade it's bite. How it got
into the carriage is one of those mys-
tories no one can %unravel. 1t may have
effected an entrance..while the carriage
was in the siding at Howrah, and quiet
ly ensconced itself behind the cushions
of the carriage seat.
The latest version of "The Girl I
Left Behind Me- from Califor-
mia. In this case the young man did
not seem to realize the girls attrac-
tions until he got across the continent,
and then, after IL year or two of hard
work in California and with the pros
pect of wealth before him, lie be-
thought himself of a young lady who
used to be q schoolmate Of his in
| Maine. He wrote to her to see if she
had forgotten him. She hadn't, and
cordially answered the letter. The re-
turn mail brought a proposal of mar
riage, which was accepted. A ticket
for California came next, and though
her friends did not quite approve OF
the journey, the young lady started.
Unlike some who have made similar
trips, she liked both the farm awaiting
her and its possessor even better than
she thought she did before she saw
them. The wedding came next, and
everybody was happy ut last accounts.

SAYS Is railroad man: "a passenger
engine averages GO pounds of coal to
the mile. and travels about SO, 600
miles per year, while a freight engine
averages so pounds of coal to the mile
and makes about $4,000 miles per
year, while yard engines burn less.
Freight engines travel much slower
than passengers, and therefore burn
more coal per mile. The largest mile
age made in 1888 by a passenger en-
CINE was 81, 900 miles, and by a freight
engine $4,000 miles,"

RESPECT FOR AUTHORITY.
A DUTY which the Intelligent Teacher

A Duty Which the Intelligent Teacher
Owes to tho Nation and His Pupils.
Now that instruction in civics is in
the air, may it not be in order to sug-
Eest that good point to begin is by
teachers, parents and all persons con-
nected with the instruction of children
and youth. persistently inculcating the
duty of respect for men in public station,
until proved unworthy, with at least
decent fair play in the Judgment OF the
character and services of public officials?
The standing abomination of our po-
litical press is its vulgar. wicked habit
of holding up political opponents to the
moral condemnation of every body. as
rot only wrong in their political policy
but unworthy of personal respect. No
man in Washington to-day in high Office
is exempt from this foul smirching of
character and conduct by journals of
great influence, widely read, and edited
by men who would resent a reflection of
the same kind on themselves as a deadly
personal insult OF course the well-in-
formed dismiss this wretched twaddle
for what it is worth. but the mischief

mention the name of an eminent
statesman in company of smart young"
sterS without hearing the epithcts SO
freely banded about in the newspapers
applied even in Il more positive way
than by their grown instructors. What
is to be hoped of a generation coming
up to responsible citizenship with this
contempt for public men and unbelief
in official honesty? If it be said that
there is much to justify this feeling, we
reply that the present low tone of public
life is largely the result of this habit of
indiscriminate abuse and uncharitable
Judgment. Thousands of our most capa-
BILE men are kept out of public life by
the unwillingness to face this fire OF
scathing invective. leaving important
places to be filled by the political hack
with hide impervious to assault The
worst of it is that the journals that
assume to represent the higher culture
are often the most cynical, intolerant,
and reckless in their dealing with char
acter and reputation. Let us begin at
at the beginning, and teach children
respect for authority, with charity, JUS
tice and moderation in dealing with the
character, which is the most precious
treasure of every man who serves the

have them in an artificial or attenuated

be subjected to incubation with various
microbes every few months. First,
they will be vaccinated for small poX

igree of the COW.

be kept out of the dairy. If her dainti-

put. If she will not eat neither can she
work. If she can not work neither can
she pay. If she can not pay she must
get out of the way for one that can.

THE BREATHING CAVE.
One of the Most Extraordinary Phenomena
of Nature.

In the range of mountains in Western
North Carolina, known as the Fork
Range" most singular phenomenon
exists. 1t is the breathing Cave" in
the summer months a current of air
comes from it so strongly that person
can not walk against it, while in the
winter the rush of air inward is just as
great
The cool air from the cave in summer
is felt sometimes for miles in direct
line from the mouth of the cave. At
times most unpl easant odor is emitted
upon the current from dead animals
sucked in and killed by coming in vio-
lent contact with the walls The loss
of cattle and other stock in that section
during the winter months is always
great, and is accounted for in this way:
They range too near the mouth of the
cave, and the current carries them in.
AT times, when the change from in
halation to exhalation begins, the air IL
filled with hairs of the various animals;
not infrequently small dry bones have
been carried for over mile from the
mouth of the cave as though shot from
an air-gun. The air has been known
to change quite suddenly during exha-
lation from cold to quite hot, accom-
panied by terrible roaring and gur-
Cling sound.
Many scientific men have visited the
place, but the phenomen on still remains
unexplained; the residents of that sec
tion fear volcanic eruption. Some
thing IL wrong, sure Nashville Ameri-

CORN AS HUMAN FOOD.
Efforts to be Made to Introduce Maize In
European Markets.


1t will bs difficult for the people of
this country, where corn is such popu-
lar article of diet, to understand how
limited its consumption is in the old
world. Indeed, it is stated that during
the famine in Ireland, when America
sent to the distressed island ship-loads
of supplies, nothing but the pangs of
extreme hunger overcame the prejudice
which existed in Ireland against corn as
n source of nutrition for the human
stomach 1t is still held by the better
class in Europe that corn is unfit for
food, and its wholesomeness is gravely
disputed. 1t would seem that, by a
proper effort, this misapprehensionc could
be removed. The lectures and writings
of scientific experts have failed to ac-
complish this result, and more con-
vincing method must be employed. If
the people of the Old World knew how
palatable and wholesome Indian corn
is in all of the shapes in which it
is prepared for human consumption,
the foreign demand for that cereal
would increase to IA degree that would
quite remove all danger of oyer-produc-
of cheapness, it contains a very large
percentage of nutrimert, and being
proof against the process of decay which
renders other food commodities perish
able, it can be transported to the utter
most parts of the earth and preserved
for any length of time. A comparison
of the stalwart, corn-fed American with
the undersized Mongolian, who feeds on
rice, and with the degenerate Romans,
who subsist upon macaroni, furnishes
proof of its health-giving properties. All
that is required to popularize it is to
enforce its claims in manner which
will compel recognition. The moment
is ripe for such an undertaking, and the
Edinburgh fair furnishes the oppor-
tunity
But there must be departure from
the usual plan of display. The stomach
as we'll as the eye must be enlisted. The
proof of the pudding is in the taste. In
connection with the corn exhibit at
Edinburgh there should be facilities for
cooking it in its various popular forms,
and thus it would be presented in u new
light to the European public. The mere
preparation of it in such shape would
constitute u strong attraction, and cause
it to be talked about far and wide. With
the seductive fap-iap, the toothsome
pone-not to speak of mush and maize
plead for 1t, Indian corn
would soon be able to make its way In
the markets of Europe.
The time is coming when America
will find in lands beyond the sea an out
let for its surplus of corn, and that day
may be fastened by a well-dirccted
stroke of the enterprise and ingenuity
for which the people of this country arc
noted. IL the toiling millions of the
old world can be impressed by practical
with the merits of In
dian corn AZ food, and can be taught to
cat it. it will soon cease to be an arti-
Gle OF fuel in this country, and will pay
a handsome profit to the producer. The
experiment on tho plan suggested i.
worthy OF a trial, and it is believed that
it would insure satisfactory and success
ful results. Kansas City Stan
