The COOK HAD NERVE.

With the Aid of This and Two Revofv@ru
He Soon Became a Chef
. Not SO very long ago a large band of
cattle were resting up 4 few miles from
Vinita, in the Indian Territory, before
being driven acrcss the line to Kansas.
The boys belonging to the outfit were a
particularly hard lot, and in six weeks
no less than FIVE cooks had left the camp
in disgust, as no matter what they did
or how we'll the food was prepared the
men were sure to growl. The head boss
was in a quandary when the fifth man
left, as he knew he would have q hard
job to find another.
To his surprise, however, soon after
sunrise next morning a short, sinewy
son Of Erin walked into camp, and, after
lighting his pipe, sat down on a dilapi-
dated gripsack and inquired if a cook
was wanted. 1t did not take the boss
long to make a bargain with the man,
who said his name was Macmillan. He
was soon installed in his position, slowed
his grip away, and after a wash in the
creek began the operation of getting
dinner. The boys sized up the new ar

said nothing.
Next morning, however, the fun be-
gan. One man asked Mac where he
learned to fry pork, another remarked
that he forgot to put the coffee in the
pot, but he was deaf to all until Joe
Taylor, the biggest man in the camp,
said he would be hanged if he could eat
such biscuit as those, and if there was
no improvement in the grub at noon the
cook would hear something drop.
At the first mention of the biscuit the
pipe fell from Macs mouth, and he
stood listening until Taylor had finished.
Then, walking quietly over to the wag-
On he fshed out a pair of Colts revolv-
ers, and marching up to the growler
shouted, "You amt got no appetite,
but you sit down and eat them biscuit,
or TIL plug you before you can wink!'
There was a wicked look in Macs eyes
as he spoke, and Taylor saw the cook
meant business. He had a pistol in his
belt, but he also knew that before he
could draw it he would be q dead man.
Cat them biscuits" came the order
again, while the rest Of the crowd sat
around with a grin, taking in the fun.
There was no help for it, so Taylor sat
down, and before Mao let him go he had
eaten every biscuit in the pan, and was
stuffed SO full he could hardly breathe.
Il thought you would soon find your
appetite" said Mac. Then turning to
the rest of the boys, he asked, CLOVIS
the ~coffee?" Every one replied that it
was fine, and all agreed that the pork
was cooked to a turn. Mac staid with
the outfit several months, and when he
left the boys swore ne was the best cook
west of the Mississippi river.-San Fran

Terrible Experience I a Pleasure Party.
A small fishing sc.-eo1er has just re-
turned from a trip L oag the coast, and
brought with it a party of father, SON
and daughter. who had an experience
winch rarely falls to the lot of any one.
The party is William Buchanan, his
son Tom, and his daughter Nellie. Five
weeks ago they started on a cruise along
the coast in a small yacht, taking a
pleasure trip. They were provided with
guns, ammunition and fishing tackle,
and expected to have a fortnight's sport
and then return east. Miss Nellie was
as expert with the gun and rod as either
her father or brother, and all three were
good sailors. About sixty miles south a
squall drove their yacht out to sea and
wrecked the vessel on one of the small
islands about twenty miles off the coast.
Mr.. Buchanan was badly bruised by
being dashed against the rocks, and Tom
had his right arm broken in a similar
way. Miss Nellie was the only n of
the party who received no injury, and it
is to this fact alone that any of them are
alive. The guns, ammunition and fishing
tackle were all saved, and Miss Nellie
cared for her wouQded relatives and
then started out to get them something
to eat. The island is ont of the way of
travel, and in consequence not a vessel
was seen for two weeks. During all this
time the young lady hunted and fished,
and was so successful that they did not
pass one day without food.
The-island is so fat and barren that
unless a vessel gets close to it the people
on board cannot see it. They could not
use the little wood they found for signal
fires, for they were afraid there would
not be enough to serve for cooking their
food. A storm had sent them on the
island, and a similar occurrence saved
them, for the fishing schooner had been
driven off the shore and out of her course,
and when the captain saw the island he
sent a boat ashore to see if he could get
water.
MI. Buchanan had by this time fully
recovered, but the son was still suffering
from his broken arm. They were taken
off and brought to this city, and are now
feeling one the worse for their expert
ence, except Tom, whose arm is in bad
condition from neglect of proper treat
ment during the two weeks of suffering.

The Health of New York's Wealthy Men.
With Jay Gould sick with the neural
gia, G. P. Huntington out Of sorts with
malaria and rheumatism, and John D.
Rockefeller under treatment for nervous
prOstration, it is not to be marveled at
that Wall street men ask, care our great
fnanciers breaking down. Within the
past six months the respective presidents
of two big trust companies have been
advised that they must either abstain
from business cares + retire from all as
ISOLATION with common humanity. The
past year has indeed been a trying
period for the nerves of great fnanciers.
They have had to battle theoretically
with adverse circumstances, and very
few have come out of the struggle with
unimpaired health.
Cornelius Vanderbilt, D. .. Mills and
Russell Sage are conspicuous exceptions
to the general physical Generalization of
rich men. Mr.. Vanderbilt is not only a
very m~ethodical man, but he. has so
many competent li%eutenants in the man
agement of his vast property that he does
not feel the wear and tear Of the ordi-
nary man of millions. Besides, Mr.. Van
derbilt probably gives himself more rest
and recreation than any other million
aire in this country. He never bothers
about details. Mr.. Depew relieves him
of those, and Mr.. Depew has well
trained assistants who relieve him from
worry. D. O. Mills retains good health
because he has a rugged constitution
and a placid disposition. Russell Sage
is seldom sick, because he cannot afford
to spare the time.-New York Times.

My daughter had a slow fever for several

usual remedies for several days with but little
if any benefit. We then tried the Royal Ger
metuer and nothing else. The second day
after its use there was a clear remission of the
fever, md on the third day she was able to sit
up. After that she continued to improve
steadily and now is entirely restored. We at
tribute these happy results to the use of

The Uplands Of the vIrginias

AshS ~ StAttAS vi ttiS VII StuIdSs
We publish below brief extract
from one of a series of papers by
Prof. n. S. Shaler..t to Scribner's Nag
aaine, as disinterested testimony of a
distinguished scientist to the un-
equalled resources of the Virginia
Group of States" Virginia and the
Carolinas and the adjacent terri
tory, including West Virginia. His
remarks upon the "uplands' are
specially applicable to this great
Shenandoah valley-to which Jefser-
son is the entree land the best con-
ditions referred to the resident here:
sIn the mountainous portion OF
these States of the Virginia group we
have an abundance of mineral wealth,
the search for which has but begun.
Gold, iron, copper, zinc and various
other substances of economic import
ance abound in the upland portion of
this area, while the lowland parts
have as yet afforded but small sup
plies of such materials, pliosphates
being. the only geologic element Of
any Importance. Itis.eVident, there
fore, that the plainland region OF this
district is to develop purely agricuI-
tural industries, while the upland
section, by its admirable combination
of soil, noble forests and mineral re+
sources, is to have more varied Ia.
dustries, and therefore more diver
sified life. 81 q
s'Although within the above men,
toned States the resources of fossil
fuel are limited, we find, imtnediate-
lY on the west of the district, and
everywhere convenient to 1t, the vast
coal measures of Tennessee, Ken
tucky and West Virginia fields, which
afford bituminous Goals quite equal
to those which have been the founda-
tions of the commercial industries Of
Great Britain. Thus, this region OF
southern uplands has in its soil, its
forests, and its mineral resources, a
combination of, advantages perhaps
greater tEan those of any other eqaal
area in the world. In addition to
these favoring conditions the region
possesses an admirable climate, In
winter the temperature falls low
enough to insure the preservation of
bodily vigor; in sumner the heat is
less ardent than in the Iower-lying
regions of the New England and New
York group of States. In the YiF-
ginia section We find climate. re-
sembling in its range of Temperatures
those which characteTize the most fa-
vored regions of the Old World, and
it is there perhaps We may look for
the preservation OF our races best

The B. & O. r. r. ca, will run
another excursion to Washington on
February 18th similar to that of jan
uary 22nd, when hundreds OF per-
sons all along the route took adyan-
tage of the reduced rates to visit the
National Capital. They returned
with glowing accounts of the trip
the many mid-wintet attractions at
Washington and the excellence of the
B. sc, train service. More oppor-
tunities are afforded in Washingtoni
at this season than at any other for
amusement, enjoyment, instruction
and sight seeing. At Che theatres
are the best. miraculous, while public
and private receptions are the rule OF
the hour. Congress is In session
daily with its galleries open to visi-
tors, as are also the public libraries,
the museums and the art galleries.
Besides these places OF perennial in-
tefest, there are the imposing public
buildings, the countless handsome
private residences, the White House,
the broad boulevards; and pretty
parks, Altogether Washington pre-
se1ts its brightest slide at this sea-
son, and the patriotic American re-
turns to his home, after aSisit, proud
of his National Capital and enthusi-
astic in his praise of its grandeur
and its material elegance.
