A Curious LIttle Road.

A curious little railroad train goes
crawling up and down the mountain from
Tres Pinos TO Burt's limekiln in the
Gavilan range, San Benito county, ever
day. 1t is probably the strangest ralroad
that was ever seen. The train moves on q
curious single track and is drawn By an
engine set low on il. Both the engine
wheels and those which support the cans
have single, pivotlike piece Of steel that
sets in the slot track, for il must be borne
in mind that the track has slot in It not
unlike that seen on a cable track.
In addition 10 this each wheel has
fiange ON each side of il, so that il cannot
get off the track. no matter how abrupt
the curves. The road as completed is now
nine miles long. Three men run it. Thesa
consist Of an engineer, fireman and 3
brakeman. In one place there is an Sle
foot grade. mounted at the rate Of six feet
TO the 100, yet the engine putfs right along
with three loaded cars, not in the least
bothered in any way.
There is one grade a quarter OF mle
long, in which an average Of fcur feet :
gained to the REQ. One curious thing about
it is that the wucels are in a sense rollers.
They reach from one side to the other
The flanges hold them on, assisted by the
pivot, past which each bali of the wheel
comes down.-Helena Independent

An account 81 a case OF supposed rabies
in which recovery followed the use OF
eleven subcutaneous injections of pilocar-
pine hydrochloride of a fifth of grain
each in the course of seven days is given
by surgeon in The Indian Medical Ga.
zette. The writer states that in practice
of twenty-five years he has seen at least
twenty cases of rabies. but he has never
before succeeded in curing one. and he adds
that he has never known of recovery
from the disease in India. He had seen
this drug mentioned rs having effected a
cure in two cases out OF four and therefore
tried it. He first excised the cicatrix that
had formed as the result Of the bite, and
kept the sore open for two weeks, with the
effect Of stopping a shooting pain that had
been felt IN the scar.

A chi Among the wolves.

The daughter Of the owner Of the menag-
erie at Landshurg, Prussia, put six wolves
and hyena in a large cage through per
Torrance, when suddenly a large wolf
jumped on the hyena and fastened its teeth
IN its neck as though it would never pull
them out again Immediately the other
animals became greatly excited, refusing
TO obey the girl any longer Her father
seeingthe danger, ran into the cage. With
one powerful grip he pulled the wolf from
the hyena and cast him into corner. He
then bela5ored the brutes with his whip
as vigorously as be was able. and succeeded
in chasing them all back into their soli-
tary cages. Both father and daughter Is

Love and romance play little part in the
marriages in China. The Chinaman who
enters the harbor of matrimony looks upon
the matter as fulfillment of a duty which
he owes TO his ancestors.
The custom of the Chinese TO marry OF
their sons and daughters at an early age
does not seem advisable to the Europeans.
tits also the rule in China that unions only
take place between families of equal social
and financial standing. Disregard OF this
rule would cause subsequent trouble invar
riably. The custom of early marriages is
founded. moreover, on principles incompre-
hensible to the western mind. The by
and girl Joined in wedlock do not form
new family. but rather the youngest branch
of the family tree, upon which they are
henceforth dependent The duty of parents
toward their sons does not end with their
marriage: they are obliged to care for them
after that time also. There is great dis
advantage in this system. The son being
under the eyes Of the parents as long as
they are alive really never becomes indie
pendent
All members of family live, when pos
sible, under one roof, and even after the
death of the parents the SONS continue, as
a rule, to live together in the family home.
When the father dies the Oldest brother
assumes his place as the head Of the fam
lily, and when the mother dies the wife OF
the oldest brother takes her place. But
again the system has many advantages.
As the girls are married very young they
are unacquainted, as a rule with the duties
of housewife. But in entering the house
holds of their fathers-in-law they learn
the needful lessons in family economy

Desiring that these sopve, nirs be distributed as widely as possi- ble among the people, and that all, irrespective of locality, have an equal chance to obtain them, the Exposition authorities have sought to prevent syndicates and others from purchasing large quantities and thus 'cornering'' the sale. On the contrary, they have arranged to supply banks, business houses and individuals in all parts of the country with as many as they may desire to distribute among their pat rohs, customers or friends.

A Bowie dispatch in the Republican of the sth says: Information was re- ceived here on November 9th that a party of seven hostiles crossed the Southern Pacific track between stein's Pass and San Simon, shooting at some cowboys as they wsht along. One had his horse shot from under him and barely escaped with his life. A de tachment of troops under command of Lieut.. Bean struck their trail and fol- lowed it, coming mp with the Indians near Turkey and Cave creeks, on the east side of the Chiricahua mountains and Q skirmish took place, the result being that the Indians horses were captured but the troops were obliged to fortify themselves. Endorsements were sent to Lieut. Bean and hopes are sanguine that the hostiles, among whom is the famous Kid, will be cap tured or entirely annihilated.

COMPULSORY VOTING


 In the Social Economist Mir, Morris s. Wise argues for the adoption of Q compulsory voting system, which he declares is the only real and satisfae- tory cure for the many political evils against which complaint is made Give every voter a credit cheque when he votes; collect that cheque within twenty-four hours after election, and warn the qualified voter who is with out one on his first oifense; fine him twenty-five dollars on his second of fense increase the fine to Sloo on his third ofIense; and should he offend again deprive him by the sentence ofa proper court from ever after exercis- ing the right of suffrage. Brand him as a dereliet, a traitor, and a maa who is devoid of all sense of the obligation and duty he owes his country and the community in which he lives.
 "Of course, sickness and necessary absence from the city, proven in a legal manner, should be a valid excuse. Other valid and sufficient reasons sub mitted to the judge appointed to pass on these excuses could be considered and in his discretion allowed but the grand point to be achieved by the adoption of this system would be to make willful absenteeism from the polls obnoxious and unlawful and, to be perfectly plain and practical, we would iu short give the derelict citizen more trouble for not voting than the trouble to register and vote would cost him.

The election of Cleveland and Ste vensou by such an overwhelming ma jority, as the incomplete returns indi- cate, is surprise to the most sanguine Democrat, as well as to Republicans, It is evident that the dissatisfaction existing among the industrial classes is far moro widespread than was sup posed, and the defeat of the Republi- can party is attributable chiefly to this cause The agitation, precipitated by the Peoples party, of the question of the relations between capital and labor, and the silver question, was far reach ing is is effects Hundreds of thous- ands of voters opposed to the advance of the third party were, nevertheless, alienated from the Republicans by the discussion of social and industrial questions, accelerated by the strike of the iron workers in Pennsylvania.
 The result of the election is the choice of Democratic President and Vice-President, and, in all probability, a Congress Democratic in both branch es. The feeling of many Republicans is one of satisfaction that the Senate will be of the same political complex ion as the House, as public business will be facilitated, and the Democratic party will have full power to inaugu- rate the policy and carry out the re- forms which they assert are panacea for all the evils, real and imaginary, in the United States.
 Ours is a great country, the will of the people is supreme, and political parties arc only the vehicles to make known their wishes. ''Vox populi vox Dei"
