Journalism in the Rockies.

journalism in the broad bosom of the
Rockies in midwinter is arduous. At
this time, when the boulevards are
wrapped in the plastic embrace of the
snowslide, and the march of communi-
cation with the outer world is imagi-
nary and irrepressive, the constituency
unite in wishing that winter was gone
gone with her laughter and love. The
country scribe seeks the snowy wreaths
of truth in silence and with uncertain
step, as a search warrant parades the
realms of somnambulistic slumbers in
quest of hundred typos to cope with
the rush of business at the Office, which
is left in charge of his satanic majesty.
Now, what seems death is change,
when we look deeper down in the worlds
beautiful, and the blazoned optic sees
not fruition but an altar in coercion of
the tribute of nature. However, no one
can deprive hibernated vitality of this
sphere of the felicity that across the
vista of winter, with its fathoms of
SHOWS and frosts, April smiles, and the
atmosphere ripens with fragrance and
crocus blooms, just as over the gulf of
death Faith sees the glow of the jeweled
walls of heaven. N. B.-Only lie in this
issue.-Rico News.

In the carriage room may be arranged a
washing stand, which should have connec-
tion with sewer or vault. Thus the water
from carriage washing is readily disposed
of. The receptacle for the water should be
cemented and carried in close drain to
its proper outside receptacle. The hay is
put in racks from above. These racks, as
well as the sides of the stalls, should be
made of maple. Maple, be it known, a
horse will not bite or chew. The writer
has in mind stable in which he made the
stats of very slender strips of maple, which
horse could easily break with slight
pressure from his nose or head. 1t has not
been damaged in the least during use Of
more than three years. The small grain
food comes from bins above to box at the
foot of the stairway This stairway goes to
the hay loft and living room for hostler
above.
We hear great deal about stables being
set on fire by boys. In cities where frame
stables are built confagrations are very
frequent. However. where there is one
lost by fire through incendiarism, I believe
there are fifty losses which originate in
spontaneous combustion - spontaneous
combustion which! is the result of filth
and grease about these structures.
This building is covered with drop or
German barn siding on the first story, and
shingles on the second story and roof
The two dormers on each side give it a
picturesque appearance, and altogether it
would make a comfortable cheap stable.

Novelty of Window Dressing.

A window was recently shown in a
neighboring city, which, from its novel
and pretty arrangement, attracted a
good amount of attention. A frame
work making drawbridge partly open
was built. The floor of the bridge was
made of striped dress goods, which made
a good plank effect. The sides and the
girders were made of fancy hosiery, the
legs only showing, the foot being car
ried under and hidden by the floor Of
the bridge. A wagon heavily laden
with boxes of hosiery, marked - &
Co., was on the open draw waiting to
get across. Lamp posts with red ma
terial for glass made pretty effect at
night when lighted. A wax policeman
preserved order among the half dozen
pedestrians. Finger posts directed the
public to the great hosiery sale at - g.

A Chinese Opinion.

1t is impossible to understand these
barbarous people. One thing is certain;
If they do a thing they do it with all
their might. Thirty years ago they had
big civil war. The whole country was
turned into military camps and battle
fields, and everybody, even to the wom-
en- folk, were engaged in the war in one
way or another, and one army numbered
2,0OO,000 men. And now there are
young men, old enough 10 vote, who had
never seen a company of soldiers in their
life.
In fact these people seem to think
that another war will never break out,
especially in their part Of the world.
A person can travel clear across the
American continent without seeing q
soldier, and follow the main lines Of
travel too. In fact, at the present time,
there is only about one soldier for every
1000 persons, while Russia has one sol
dier to every ninety. Picking Gazette.

In one of the city's large dry goods
shops last week little cash girl brought
to one Of the heads of departments in the
course Of the early afternoon hours of
Tuesday woman's purse. She had Just
picked it up, she said, on the floor, near
.le counter, and she remarked as she
passed it over that she guessed it was
''stuffed full" The hoorwalker opened
it and saw at a glance that her opinion
was justified. Carrying it to the super
intendent's Office, he, with that person
age, counted the money. The purse con-
tanned $5,066. There were ten five hun
dred dollar bills, check for forty dol
lars and some small bills and change.
Within half an hour a pale faced
woman appeared at the Office, asking
breathlessly if purse had been recently
found in the shop. The well stocked
pocketbook was hers. She had not left
the shop before missing it, discovering
her loss at an up stairs department to
which she had gone from the one where
the purse escaped her. Her identified
ton of the money, including drawer and
drawee of the check, was complete, and
it was promptly delivered to her.
She thanked the superintendent warm
ly, and was about to leave the Office
when that gentleman suggested that she
owed the recovery of her money to the
honesty of the little cash girl. "Do you
think, madam, +" he said pointedly, "such
honesty ought to go unrewarded% The
woman stopped. mo, of course not, !"
she said hastily, and opening the just re-
covered purse she produced silver dol
lar, which she gave to the girl. Then
she departed with the fortune of whose
keeping she was SO careless, and of whose
finding she was SO unappreciative.-Her

Booths Fortune.

1 am glad to say that SO far as money
is concerned Edwin Booth has enough to
keep him in comfort the rest of his life.
He was able to give $3.50, 900 to the Play
ers' club, and if current reports are true
he has invested in one of our large in
surance companies a sum of money
which insures to him an annuity of $15,-
900 a year for life. He did this when
some of his friends rather protested
against his lavish gift to the club. I
suppose that, Notwithstanding the can
ceiling of the Booth engagement here,
the great actors name will remain for
some years to come potent attraction
to audiences, for Booth, even in his de-
cadence, is still a man worth seeing

People who strive TO elevate certain
classes in the social fabric often find, TO
their surprise, that these very persons
jealously guard the barriers of class dis
tinctions. The following illustration of
that fact is given by the author of -Four
Years in Rebel Capitals"
A Richmond lady had maid who,
devoted and constant to her mistress,
still burned with curiosity for sight of
everything pertaining to MARS Lin
kum's men," and especially for "de
skule."
For swift, indeed, had newcomers been
to preach the gospel of Alphabet, and
negro schools seemed to have been
brought in by every army ambulance,
so numerously did they spring up in the
captured capital So early one day
Clarissa Sophia donned her very best,
and with shining face hied her like any
thing but snail to school.
Very brief was her absence; her return
reticent, but pouting and with unduly
tip tilted nose.
It soon came out that the teacher had
begun by impressing the children with
the fact that all present were born "free
and equal" and that each of them was
quite as good as she was.
"Ws dat yo's sayin' nowT interrupted
Clarissa Sophia. "Yo' say Use jes' ekal

"Yes, said so, and will prove it tc
you"
"Hol faint noneed," was the response
"Reck'n is, sho' huff. But does yo' say

Chose to Die with His Sweetheart.

Andrew Moore, aged twenty-one, and
Miss Ollie Cox, aged sixteen, were
drowned in the Luxapalia river, at Ken
nedy, Ala, recently. This couple, to-
gether with Joe Kennedy and Miss Floy
Cook, all pupils of the Kennedy high
school, were out boating. The boat cap
sized, and Mr.. Kennedy barely succeeded
in bringing Miss Cook to the shore, but
Mr.. Moore was unable to swim through
the strong current with Miss Cox, and
gave up his life rather than swim out
alone. The young lady was the daugh-
ter Of Representative Cox, Of Pickens
county. Mr.. Moore and Miss Cox were
to have been married shortly.--Cor.

London's Easter Customs.

Good Friday and Easter customs in
this old country are numerous and Curl
GUS. For instance. in London, Friday,
sixty of the youngest boys of Christ's
hospital school attended divine service
at church in Lombard street, in the
midst of great banks, and afterward re-
ceived each bag of raisins, one new
penny and one bun at the old priory
church in West Smithfeld. Twenty
one widows each picked up new six
pence from a tomb in the churchyard,
just as the same number of widows have
done for 500 years. London Letter.

Prima facie, Ireland has not only a
good claim, but really the best claim to
be the Tlapallan Of the Mexicans. 1t is
the most western part of Europe; it is
insular, and in the earlier centuries of
the Christian era was known as the
"Holy Island" Between A. D. 500 and
A. D. 800 it was the most active center
of missionary enterprise in Europe, and
its missionaries were conspicuous above
all others for their daring maritime ad-
ventures. It is natural, therefore, to
suspect that Ireland may have been the
home of Quetzatcoatl, and, if that were
SO, to expect that early Irish records
would contain some references to him
and his extraordinary voyage.
Upon this the inquiry suggests itself,
Do the early Irish chronicles, which are
voluminous and minute, contain any
thing relating to a missionary voyage
across the Atlantic at all corresponding
to that which Quetzatcoatl must have
taken from some part Of western Europe?
To one who, step by step, had arrived
at this stage Of the present inquiry, it
was not little startling to come across
an obscure and almost forgotten record,
which is, in all its main features, in
most striking conformity with the Mex
ican legend of Quetzacoatl. This is the
curious account of transatlantic voy-
age of certain Irish ecclesiastic named
st Brendan in the middle of the Sixth
century-about A. D. $50. The nara
tive appears to have attracted little OF
no attention in modern times, but it was
widely diffused through the middle ages.

One on Barnum,


When Senator Malone, of Virginia,
came here in March, 1881, to take his
seat in the United States senate the
whole country was excited as to his
party affiliation. The senate was close.
On the little Virginian everything
depended. The Democrats hoped to
capture him. So did the Republicans.
The attentions which the new senator
was shown were very amusing, and he
enjoyed them so much that he delayed
the declarations of his political position
for some weeks. While things were in
this uncertain condition and the whole
country was wondering, Mr.. Malone,
sitting in his room one evening, received
a card.
''Show the gentleman up" he said.
The man, who was perfect stranger to
the senator, entered, put his hat on a
table, shook hands and sat down and
