A VETERAN CONDUCTOR.

He Has Been Punching Tickets Ever
 Since the Year 1SAO.
 Nathan T. Swan, of Bangor, is the oldest railroad conductor in the United States in point of actual service. He began railroading in 1840 as conductor on the Bangor, Oldtown & Milford road, which was the second railroad built in this country. and has been punching tickets ever since. He is now conductor of the principal passen- ger train on the Bangor & Piscataquis road, running from Bangor to Moose head Lake and return, distance of 175 miles. every day. and he is known by all the tourists and fishermen who have travelled that way for years past. There have been great changes in railroading since Conductor Swan be- gan his career on wheels. The Ban- gor, Oldtown & Milford. better known as the Veazie railroad, from It's pro- iector and principal owner, General Samuel Veazie, was great institution in its time, but would be curiosity to- day. It was built about the year 1886, and extended across the back country from Bangor to Milford, distance of twelve miles. being intended, princi- pally, as 8 means for the transporta- tion of lumber sawn at the up-river mills to Bangor, although a consider able passenger traffic was also devel- oped There were no curves. the line running straight as an arrow from one end to the other, big lodges having been blasted out and hills cut through to make way for the roadbed, while at places great hollows were filled ID to avoid any thing like grade

The Indian ryot, or farmer, is dependent
for his crops on irrigation. and small
canals intersect the field. 1t is when three
of these running parallel are met with the
rider has to negotiate "a gridiron." An ''in
and out" is not an uncommon obstacle to
meet with when hunting in England. It
consists of ditch, bank, and ditch
beyond. It wants a clever horse and a
steady rider to come "out'' all right, for, as
the animal lands on the bank, it must i'm
mediately leap again to clear the further
ditch. In ''the gridiron' there is the extra
jump. for there are three bitches and the
two inner banks. that only allow of enough
room for the spring. The least mishap in
landing sends horse aud rider into the
further canal.
Ponies and galloways only are used in
India for hunting purposes. The former
either Arabs or Australian "Walers," with
occasionally polo ponies imported from
England. The galloways are Indian bred.
Of these undoubtedly the Arabs are the
best, as is shown by their winning most of
the sporting prizes. These useful COLBY

soon learn how to get in and out of grid

Hunting the Jackal In India.

1.-THE gridiron jump Is one of the many
expressions that have been incorporated in
to the English sporting vocabulary by those
whom duty, business, or pleasure has caused
them, for time at least, to make their
home in India. The fox-hunter who knows
Leicestershlre, Cheshire and Ireland, is i'm
pressed with the idea that he has topped or
jumped every obstacle in the chase. The
generality have not attempted chalk pit.
though some unwillinely have, and landed
safely, 1t Is on the plains of India that his
experience is enlarged.
In most of the large garrison towns there
are packs of hounds imported from England
that give the sport-loying Briton a not bad
substitute for the chase he loved SO well in
the old country. There are no foxes GER
family, but the jackal is brought into requis-
ltion, and right good run he gives. II is
only after rainy season is over that the
hunting begins. The large paddy fields ha, e
been cleared Of their rice crops and the corn

generally a large field" Soon the hounds

Regarding slavery the chancellor said:

Killing the slave dealers you can never
abolish slavery" The colonial movement,
ne said, had its origin in the same idealism,
or romanticism, that unified the empire.
There was surplus of this after war, and
it was directed toward colonizing. The
movement was iniudicious, as if one had
only to raise his head to conjure forth

was begun with little practical knowledge
or prudence. An atlas was taken and half

was the invariable beginning of such

the hope that East Africa would become a

Reverdy johnson and Lord Brouebam,


Reverdy johnson was one of the few mer
that ever made Lord Brougham listen with
any degree of genuine interest. His lord
ships companions have complained that
whenever he was not talking he was think.
ing of something to talk about.
1t was at dinner given by the great
Marylander in London that he caught the
elusive attention of the self absorbed earl
brought from the far-away home of the
host and the JOY of the guests was exqui-
site.
Brougham vowed that not another dish in
the world should ever be thought of in the
same moment with canvas back ducks from
Chesapeake bay. He yentured to say to
johnson that he doubted not that they were
now enjoying the fairest products Of the

"What might that be?''

johnson.
He saw then that he had stirred the curl
oslty of his company. and so he proceeded
to crafty it under the rare inspiration of
Lord Brougham's effectiveness. In graphic

alternating quadruped, washed its shell
and then boiled it.
He pictured with blood-curdling vivid
ness the way the terrapin would respond to
the constantly increasing temperature of
the water by stretching forth its long, ugly
head and searching seemingly for some
means of escape. Next the listening guests
saw the shell float off and the scalding pro-
cess begin in deadly earnest.
Then the cook i'll the lively picture deftly
removed the claws and the gall, which dis.
posed of half the bulk in the pot, The
precious remainder next entered upon the
stewing process in another vessel. At last
the terrapin, reduced to sweet strings and
juicy particles, was turned into great

The little lamp beneath the dish was then
lighted. In few moments the guardian

About this time the English lips

consciousness. They are SO eager to
get ahead and escape from the old-time
conventional restraints that they need
rather to be curbed than spurred." It
is clear that if the young women are to
compete with the other sex in college
studies, they must also compete with
them to degree in physical training.
Even in the case of the college young
man it was discovered many years ago
that the too steady pursuit of study
tended to impair his physical health,
and then came the rebound to the side
OF excessive physical development. No
young woman should enter upon a col
lege course unless she is compelled also
to go through vigorous system of gym
nastic exercises.
