A CURIOUS RAILROAD.
only Twelve Miles Long, But a Regular Sky-Scraper.


 Sky-Scraper.
 In railroad circles there was con siderable interest manifested in the re- gently reported sale of the famous Rainbow" route of Otto Mears. The report serves to draw attention to what is undoubtedly one of the most unique lines of railroads in the world. The road is not more than twelve miles in length, extending from Silverton to Ironton, Col, but as a marvellous result of engineering skill deserves to rank as one of the wonders of the world. No one is quite so near heaven on rail road as when travelling in one of Mear's baby" passenger cars.
 The trip from Silverton to Ironton leaves vivid impression on the mind of the tourist. It skirts the edge of un- fathomable abysses, winds over noun tain peaks, through regions of eternal snow, leaps cataracts, spans s>rges and finally bumps right into the solid wall of the granite mountain. How the ob- struction is overcome is not at first ap- parent, but by the aid of a complicated eat of turn-tables engines and cars are turuc1 around and sail merrily down mn 10 their destination.

FIRING AN OCEAN STEAMER.
Something About the Labor Performed
 by n Stoker.


 A Scottish contemporary thus de- scribes the firing service on board an ocean greyhound; On the City of Paris there are sixty llremen, who feed the fiery maws of fifty-four furnaces, that create steam in nine boilers. Fifty coal passers shovel the fuel from the bunk CTS to the furnace door, and the firemen toss it in. There is something more than mere shoveling in firing. The stolScr must know how to put the coals on so they will not burn too quickly nor dcaden the fire. He must know how to stir or poke the fire so as to get all, or nearly all, the heat out of the coal. Service in the fire room is divided into six watches of four hours each. The fireman works and sleeps alternate four hours. After the first day from port two out of every six furnaces are rabed out to the bare bars during the first hour of each watch. Thus, in a voyage, all the furnaces are cleaned once in twenty four hours. The steam goes down bit in the hour while the cleaning is going on. The stokers shovel into the fur naces fifteen tons of coal every hour, or three hundred tons day. The ship usually takes in two thousand tons at Liverpool or New York, and has be- tween five hundred and eight hundred tons left when she arrives at the other side. The engineers department is en- tirely distinct and separate from the firemen's. In the City of Paris there are twenty-six engineers, including hydraulic and electrical, They are edu- cated in engine shops on shore, and a certain number of them go on ships every year. They are all machinists, so whenever the machinery breaks down they know how to repair the damage. In case the chief engineer should be dis abled any assistant could take his place

An American Woman Abroad.

The Boston Transcript tells of lady from western territory who enter tained her American friends in London very much by her naive descriptions of the places in Europe she had visited that she had never even heard of be- fore. Westminster abbey and Mme, Tussaud's were among them. It was when she was starting for Rome that she astonished a party of people at a dinner-table by saying; "I hear there
 are some of those hecatornbs in Rome, such as they have in Paris; but shall never go to see any of them anywhere.
 l couldn't bear to think that was look ing at the esophaguses of the martyrs''

Old CiIne Lunches

In old times mine host sat at the head of the single large table which was the central object in a New York restaurant of the better class, and when the hour came for the midday meal and the merchants trooped in from their nearby shops the proprietor of the chophouse would with due cere- mony carve the joint and serve his family" Wheregpon the walters would assist the customers to the side dishes and the meal would proceed at a comfortable, leisurely gait. The ''hur- "" lunches of to-day were unknown in those good old times.

DEATHS FINAL CONQUEST.
The glories of our birth and state
Are shadows, not substantial things;
There is no arnor against fate
Death laws his icu hand IN kir,us.


Scepter and crown
Must tumble down,
And In the dust be equal made
With the poor crooked scythe and spade
Some men with swords may reap the field,
And plant fresh laurels where they kill;
But their strong nerves at last must yield
They tame but one another still.
Early or late
They stoop to fate,
And must give up their murmuring breath
When they, pale captives, creep to death.
The garlands wither on your brow
Then boast no more your mighty deeds;
Upon deaths purple altar. now,
See where the victor victim bleeds,
All heads must come
To the cold tomb
Only the actions of the just
Smell sweet and blossom in the dust

was the result of q conspiracy between
q number of desperate stock specuia-

The report of the affair as sent from
Barcelona place no credence on its al

the emeute was the work of stock spec

The Best Light.

The natural stimulus of the eye, and
consequently the one best adapted for
reading, is white sunlight The softest
and most pleasant of all is the diffused
light from northern sky. Good arti-
fetal light is much to be preferred to
insufficient daylight AS regards arti-
fetal lights. there are too sources Of
trouble: First, that they are not pure
white, and secondly, they are unsteady.
The first effect is found to a marked
degree in all artificial light except the
lime, electric and magnesium lights:
the second especially in candles and
gas Gaslight has decided excess of
yellow rays, but answers very we'll if
the gas is of good quality and the
fame is properly regulated. The light
of good coal oil lamp is very grateful
to the eye. If candles are used, wax
and spermaceti are the best Among
the many advantages of the electric
light is the fact that in color. or rather
absence Of color, it more nearly ap-
proaches daylight than any other
