yet il makes the following pertinent OBJ
seryation on saloons which, no doubt will
meet the approval OF nine-tenths OF our
Ireaedrs: 1.-THE Journal is opposed to
the saloon because it believes it to be the
embodiment OF wrong. This paper re-
fuses to be placed in the attitude OF a
friend. One must stand upon one side
or the other and the Journal deliberately
takes its place. All the influences OF the
saloon are evil Influences. It never builds
on the sides OF strength. II contributes
nothing but misery to the sum OF human
experiences. It 10 an agency through
which the innocent suffer for the guilty.
II is the tempter Of the weak. the robber
of the poor, q dagger to the heart OF
women and children. The saloon viii
ates all morals, intimidates good pur-
poses and paralyzes strong hands. Ita
influence seeps through all the arteries
Of the community. To be it's friend ie
to be everybody's enemy. To fight ite
battles is to fight the sunlight. To be
an agent Of it's security is to be an agent
of insecurity. The great opposing
forces Of life are toward life and toward
death.'

AN INGENIOUS DEVICE.

Chosp But Useful Hand-Barrow for Car
rying Berry Crates.
What is known in Ohio as the Barnes
vile bushel berry crate is q very sub.
stantial and convenient package, but
extremely hard to carry any distance
when filled, as it has to be carried at
arms length in front of the knees. It
is also unhandy for two persons, and
even If regular trunk handles were
furnished for greater convenience In
carrying a crate between two persons
there still would be the objections
that 1t needs two persons to carry
one crate, and these two persons walk
ing abreast would require five feet of
width to walk comfortably. AS in
strawberries the path is less than two
feet wide and in raspberries and black
berries scarcely three: it is easy to see
that any continuance that will permit
walking in single file is much superior.
In carrying the empties to the field
the children run a long stick through
the handle holes and carry it walking
tandem, as the pictures represent the
lsraelite spies carrying grapes. In this
case the boxes are nested in the bot
tom out of the way.

The horrified opposers of the move
ment for women's riding en- cavalier
may be interested in learning that had
1t not been for an accident of fashion
the gentler sex would be striding their
horses still, and that the side-saddle is
not an invention due to the advanced
modesty of civilization. It appears
that one Anna of Bohemia, eldest
daughter of German emperor and wife
of IN English king, introduced the Gus
tom, not from delicate repulsion to the
old method, but simply because she was
afflicted with some sort of deformity
that rendered it impossible for her to
ride upon the saddles in common use.
In those days it was imperative that q
woman should ride; accordingly the
first side-saddle was invented. Royalty
had then, as now, snobbish followers
ever on the alert to adopt fashions
honored by its patronage, and in few
months every woman of place inEngland
possessed side-saddle, and the custom
was established.-Chicago News

When the down grade was struck,

that they were not under control, with
the heavy stage rushing upon them, be-

When the driver first awolze and re-

having been violently thrown from his

about his hands and wrists, and, hold
ing fast unconsciously, he was being
jerked forward in the furious leaps Of
the team. Yet it was but a moment or
two until he struck the ragged ledge
below the roadway, and I discovered
my situation as heard him utter a hor-
rible shrek and then low moan as of
one in the death agony.
BY this time the lower wheels of the
stage were off the roadway: the stage
itself was on the edge of the fearful
precipice and the axle of the vehicle
being dragged along over the stone
wall that supported the lower side of
the road bed.
The scream of horror piercing my
ears emphasized the frightful situation,
for the driver was not only being dashed
to his death, as ! supposed, in the dark
ness below, but there was an awful pos
sibility that in the next moment the
stage and the horses would go over the
brink and land in the dismal unknown
abyss of the canyon beneath. The
driver was pulling with all his weight
in the direction of that abyss.
