THEY swAPPED WIVES.
Each Man Loved tbe wrong woman
and 40 n Fair Trade was Made.


A swap that was something out Of
the ordinary was made by two farm
ers living near Sidney, Nebraska, a
few days ago, but the details have
Just become public. ]. II. Fox and
/. Schad were neighbors in Cotton
precinct. Both were young married
men and Schad had one child. The
latter was considered by the good peo-
pie OF Cotton an exemplary young
man. He taught the district school,
was the superintendent OF the Sunday
school, an exhorter in the Universal
list church, and, above all, dyed-in-
the wool spiritualist. His wife was
young and pretty.
Fox was simply farmer. He, too,
was the possessor OF an attractive wife.
The two families became intimate, and
it developed in time that Mr.. Schad
and Mrs. Fox had become enamored
of each other and that similar state
of affairs existed between Mr.. Fox
and Mrs. Schad. The four became
acquainted with each others feelings
and finally the two men struck a bar
gain and swapped wives. Schad bade
his wife an affectionate adieu, kissed
his little one good.by, loaded Mrs.
Fox into neighbor's wagon and to-
gether they were driven to Crook, a
station on the Colorado Division of the
Union Pacific, and then took passage
for Denver. Fox and Mrs. Schad and
the latter's child remained at Cotton.

The clever Tvicks OF Napoleon,
who Runs win Engine No. So.

Napoleon is a dog residing at Sal
ida. Colorado, belonging to an en-
gineer Of the Denver and Rio Grande
railroad. He has been engaged with
his master for the past two and hall
wears in running locomotive So. His
apprenticeship commenced at the
early age OF six months. His first
trip was not a success on account
OF fright. This was speedily over
come. He can now go into the round
house, where twentv-eight engines are
domiciled, single out and mount his
own machine, and, in the absence of
his master and the fireman, defend 1t
against all intruders. He rides on the
fireman's side OF the cab, with both
front paws and head hanging out OF
the window, intently watching the
track.
He frequently scents cattle mile or
more distant. When they appear In
sight he becomes greatly excited,
looking first at the cattle and then at
his master, as though trying to make
him comprehend the gravity oil the
situation. On nearer approach he sets
up a cry similar to that Of human
being. n necessary to come to a full
stop he bounds out of the cab, runs
ahead and loses no time in convincing
the trespassers OF the importance OF
finding some other stamping ground.
When necessary to communicate
with help at the pumping stations, fire.
quently at long distances from the
track, a note is written and given to
the dog, who delivers it and speedily
returns with a reply.
Signals to start from his own en-
gine are readily interpreted by him,
but he pays no more attention TO the
whistles and bells OF other engines
than to cattle that may be safely graz
ing on the sides OF the road. His
oliactory powers are so keen that he
has frequently given his master timely
warning against stock, that, if struck,
might have resulted disastrously. He
is well known 10 all railroad employees
between Ogden and Salida. II acci-
dentally left at any of the stations he
returns TO Salida on the first train.--

Queer IBalfefs.

The Tongans have q curious dogma
to account for a day and night
being twenty-iour hours long. 1t used
TO be less; the sun used to 60 down
too quick. So one day a man caught
it with moose, and it had to go slow
thereafter.
The ancient Peruvians believed that
the sun once came down to the earth
and laid two eggs and then went back
again. From these two eggs men
sprung.
The American Indians had dog
ma that the sun was the one supreme
god, and the moon was his wife. One
tribe inhabiting fearfully hot district
worshipped the moon alone, saying
they had no use for the sun.
In the days Of Columbus scientific
dogmas asserted: II ship should
reach India she could never get back
again, because the rotundity of the
globe would present kind OF noun
tain up which it would be impossible
to sail even with a most favorable
wind.-Boston Globe.

The Board Of Health can engage in nc
more laudable occupation than the ex-
animation Of our food supply and the
instruction Of the public as to those ar

and which, therefore, consumers should
use.
There are quantities Of baking pow.
ders in the market to use which is Ger.
tain detriment to the health Of the con-
sumer. They are made from alum, or
improperly compounded from other
chemicals, so that they leave q strong
alkaline residuum in the food. Many
OF these powders, having been piohib-
tied from sale in the East. have been
collected by their manufacturers from
the dealers with whom they were left
on commission, and shipped to the Pa.
ci6c Coast. The public knows nothing
about their quality except what it reads
in the newspaper advertisements. In
the effort to gain foothold in this mar.

as to the brand Of baking powder to be
used to secure the most economical and

The general usefulness OF q baking
powder depends upon the quantity Of
leaveuiug gas it gives off. As these pow
ders are retailed at about the same price.
the most economical is also apparent.
The opinion Of the Board Of Health is
as follows:
We, the members Of the Board Of
Health OF the city and county OF San
Francisco, cordially approve and recon.
mend the Royal Baking Powder. 1t is
absolutely pure and healthiul, composed

In our judgment. it is impossible to
make a purer or stronger baking powder
than the Royal.
