A Curious Little Railroad.

A curious little railroad train goes
crawling up and down the mountain
from Tree Pines to Burts lime kiln
In the Gavilau range, San Benito
county, every day. 1t is probably
the strangest railroad that was ever
seen; yet thus far, not a word has
ever been printed regarding it. The
train moves ON curious single track
and is drawn by an engine set low on
1t. Both the engine wheels and those
which support the cars have single,
pivot-like piece of steel that sets in
slot track, for 1t must be borne in
mind that the track has a slot in ii
not unlike that seen on a cable track.
In addition 10 this each wheel has
flango on each side of it, SO that it
cannot get off the track no matter how
abrupt the curves. The road as COM
plcted is now nine miles long, but
when pushed through, os intended,
it will be fourteen miles in length.
Three men run it. These
consist of an engineer, fire
man and brakeman. In ono place
there is an s00-foot grade mounted at
tho rate of SIX feet to the 100, yet the
engine puffs right along with three
loaded cars, not in the least bothered
in any way
= There is one grade quarter OF d
mile long in which an average OF four
foot is gained TO the 100. One curl
GUS thing about it is that the wheels
are in a sense rollers. They reach
from one side to the other. The
ln,nges hold then on. assisted by the
pivot, pa,t,which each half of the
wheel comes down. Helena (Mon-
tana) Independent.

Finest of Persian Carpets.

There is now to be seen in London
what is declared 10 be the finest Persian
carpet in the world. This is the Holy
Carpet of the Mosque of Ardebi in
Porsia-s carpet which for size,
beauty, condition and authenticated
age is said TO be unrivalled by any
known example. Its dimensions are
"a feet 6 inches by II feet 6 inches.
The ground of the body of the fabric
is of rich blue, covered with floral
tracery of exquisite delicacy. A centre
medallion Of pale yellow terminates
on its outer edge in sixteen minaret-
shaped poin s, from which spring
sixteen cartouches, four green. four
red and eight cream, anil from two of
these are suspended, in the direction
of the respective ends of the carpet,
two of the sacred lamps of the
| mosque. But the most interesting
detail is the pale cream cartouche
placed within the border at the upper
| end of the carpet, bearing an inter-
woven inscription, which is thus
translated: al have no refuge in the
world other than thy threshold. My
head has no protection other than thy
porchway. The work of the slave OF
A this Holy Place, Maksoud of Kashan,
in the year 942." Now, 942 of the
Higira is 1885 of our era; SO that the
carpet was actually in existence, in the
Mosque of the sacred city of the Suf-
fayivan Dynasty, when Queen Eliza.
Y beth sent Anthony Jenkinson on ar
embassy to Shah Tamasp. Carpets
y thus signed and dated are extremely
s rare and are historically important
. but carpet not only dated ant
signed, but of such size and beauty a
this, is said to be something unheart
of before New York Post.

Needle and Thread Plant.

That there are more wonders on the
earth, in the sea, ''beneath the earth ~
and in the sky above it than ever
Horatio imagined is well known
fact which that worthy's must ardent
admirers will not attempt to deny.
Take, for instance, the famous needle
and-thread free. Imagine such a
luxury and the delights of going out
10 your tree and 9lueking a needle
threaded all ready for use! Odd as it
may seem 10 us, there is, on the Mexi-
can plains, just such forest growth.
The tree may not exactly be a
tree ia the lrno sense of tile word,
partaking as 1t does more Of the
nature aud characteristics of a gigan-
tic species of asparagus. 1t has large,
thick, flcshy leaves, such as would re-
mind one of the cacus, especially Of
the one popularity known as the
"prickly pear"
The "nceGles' of the needIc.and-
thread tree are set along the edges Of
these thick, fleshy leaves. In order to
obtain one fully equipped for sewing
1t is only necessary to push the needle
gently backward into the fleshy sheath
(this 10 loosen it from the tough out
side covering of the lcaf), and then
pull Is gently from the socket. If this
operation is properly carried out one
hundred or more fine flbres adhere to
the thorn like SO many spider webs.
BY twisting the "neede' during the
drawing operation the thread can be
made of any length desired. The
action of the air on the fibres tough
ems them amazingly, thread from it
not larger than common No. 40 being
capable Of sustaining weight of five
pounds, about three times the tensile
strength of common "six-cord" spool

wIaH THE WRONG PASS.


I Troubles and Humors of the Free Ras9
System, by DIR. Depew.
Sew people outside Of railway
circles have any conception Of the
nuisance the demand for free passes
is to railroad officials and to what an
| extent the privilege is abused when
granted" said the Hon. Chauncey NJ.
Depew the other day. ~The inter
state commerce law aimed a blo8 at
the free pass system, but TO great
extent it has been feeble and In
effective one.
Zone great abuse Of the free pass
system lies in the sale of those preciousl
pieces Of paper by those to whom they
are issued. Say, for example, that al
man wishes to go from New York to-
Pittsourg. He will ask for pass to-
Chicago, with the privilege Of stop
ing over in Pittsburg. If this is
granted TO him he can, when he gets
to Pittsburg, sell his pass-good for
the remainder Of the trip to Chicago
to some ticket speculator or 'scafper'
at rate which enables the latter tol
sell it again at handsome margin OF
profit; OF, intending to remain per-
manently in Pittshurg, he will ask
for pass to that city and return, and
on arriving there will sell the remain!
ing portion of said pass. good for the
return trip. OF course, these passes
are not transferable, that fact befng
plainly stated in bold typealp9n both
the back and face of each one, but.
what earthly difference does that

From the look OF calm assurance on
their faces he knew it would be use
less to raise any objection to this
glaring incoDgruity, for he had no
doubt that they would both have

AT another time he was handed a
pass by tall, raw boned, down-East
Yankee accompanied by short, fat
German, who could not have been
more than eight or ten years his
iunior at most, and who was gifted
with a slngularly rich Teutonic ac1

PROPER PLACE FoR LINEN.
Good for Toilet and Table Use, but Not fol
Wear Next tho Skin.

Wear Next tho Skin.
The world, or this part of it at
ieast, is full Of housekeepers who
think that there is no material for
sheets and pillow cases comparable to
linen. They don't always have it, to
be sure, because it is expensive, but
they always covet it and finger the
shining breadths lovingly and wonder
II the time will ever come when all
these things shall be added unto
them But the truth about linen is
that it isn't the ideal dressing for
beds at all. 1t is cold and Slippery
and insuIes sensitive persons the
dream of'sleeping on an iceberg, which
does well enough for an occasional
experience, like seasickness, but
which pals on too frequent repetition.
Besides that, the Pittsburg Dispatch
declares it wrinkles and tumbles in
spite of its heavier body, much more
than cotton does, giving bed, after
one nights use, most slovenly and
uninyiting appearance.
! Nobody recommends linen for body
wear. Its firm texture and hard sur
face make it wholly non-absorbent;l
/ it allows the body to become chilled.
by refusing the perspiration and, so
has been known TO bring on serious
/ illness. For outside wear in SUMNER
linen may be tolerated as clothing,
4 but nowhere else.
Where, however, 1t is at its most use
full and best is in household uses.
For table service, for the toilet, and
for minor ornamental details it is
simply invaluable-its smoothness of
texture, its brilliancy, which launder-
Ing ever increases, its exquisite fresh
ness, make it the one fabric fit to
drape the dining-table and to use in the
toilet, while its suitability for needle-
work decoration makes 1t admirable
for all kinds of fancy work. And
here it is rightfully used, but to wear
next the skin and sleep in-no.
