A Curious LittIe Fond.

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, every
day. 1t is probably the strangest railroad
that was ever seen. The train moves Oh a
curious single track and is drawn by an
engine set low on it. Both the engine
wheels and those which support the cars
have single, pivotlike piece of steel that
sets in the slot track, for it must be borne
in mind that the track has slot in it not
unlike that seen on cable track.
In addition to this each wheel has q
flange on each side of it, so that it cannot
get off the track, no matter how abrupt
the curves. The road as completed is now
nine miles long. Three men run it. These
consist of an engineer, a fireman and a
brakeman. In one place there is an 500
foot grade, mounted at the 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 mile
long, in which an average of four feet is
gained to the 100. One curious thing about
it is that the wheels are in q sense rollers
They reach from one side to the other.
The flanges hold them on, assisted by the
pivot, past which each half of the wheel
comes down.-Helena Independent

Kindergarten Missions,

There are now good training schools for
kindergartners, where all that can be i'm
parted by teaching. to supplement natural
ability can be learned; and we venture to
declare that the most promising missionary
field in the world is to be found on the outer
fringe of our large cities, where in Il mar
row tenement the mother has her creche on
her lap and her Kindergarten" and her
primary" and secondary" pupils at her
side, all under the age to be admitted in
the public school. What more natural,
when the smallest goes to sleep, than to
send the others into the street, where they
must perforce learn its evil lessons? In the
city of New York there are many thousands
of these children.
Suppose that 1000 young women well in
structed in the art of teaching should each
gather about her score of these undis-
ciplined waits, teach them till they were
six, and then pass them on to school
where manual training is mixed with
"book learning" in the measures expert
ence has demonstrated is wisest, to be
taught till twelve-it would result in the
greatest salvation from evil, and in tie
greatest addition to the working capacity
of the generation that could be made

A Lesson on Milk Drinking.

Few people know that there is good
and bad way of drinking milk. The bad
way is that which they generally follow,
viz, to swallow large quantity at once.
When milk goes into the stomach it is in
stantly curdled, and if it is curdled into
one big mass, the juices Of the stomach
can work on only the outside of it. This
is the reason that many people who like
milk, and to whom it should be of the ut
most benefit, cannot drink it. They say it
gives them indigestion and they are right.
Let them give it another chance.
But this time they must sip it slowly,
not taking more than q good teaspoonful
at one sip, and taking at least four minutes
to finish the glassful. Each little sip thus
becomes curled up by itself when passed
into the stomach and the digestive juices
percolate freely around it and it speedily
becomes assimilated. One of the best re-
storatives known after excessive fatigue
is glass of hot milk The heat seems to
tighten it and to deprive it Of much of the
sweetness which is so cloying to some
tastes.-New York Commercial Adver-

Tim Is u Dog, but Wide Awake.

Billy Campbell, of Rockaway, is the
owner of very knowing dog called Tim.
Campbell had occasion to take train to
Hammel's. Tim went with him. The
dog began to doze on the train, and when
his master aighted he was fast asleep.
The train started up and began to move
faster and faster, but Tim slept on. When
the train reached momentum of fifteen
miles an hour the dog awoke. He looked
around and, failing to find his master, ran
to the platform of the car and perched on
the lower step, where he remained until
the train reached the trestle over Jamaica
bay. He then gave great leap, cleasing
telegraph wires and landing safely in the
water. He swan ashore and started on a
trot back to Eammel's station, where he
located Campbell, who was just sending a
message over the wire to the trainmen t.
look out for the dog.-New York Com

Origin of the Steamboat Texas

Every few people know the origin of the
word texas, as applied to certain part of
steamboat" said an old river captain
"All modern boats don't have the texas,
though it was an essential CT the old sys-
TEN in the halcyon days of steamboating
The texas, you know, is that apartment Of
the upper deck just beneath the pilot
house where the crew shifts sleep. The
word was first applied in the troublous
times of the '30s and '40s, when Texas was
fighting for liberation from the despotic
rule of Mexico, and afterward when the
United States was plunged into war wi: Il
the Aztecs to maintain the rights TIE
brave Texans had wrung from Santa Ana
Recruits from the United States were car
ried down the Mississippi to New Orleans
and thence across the gulf to Texas to help
the Lone Star men in their war.
''The boats that took them down the
river were the first to construct the apart
ment for the crew, and that supports the
pilot house. This innovation in boat build
ing made it possible for travellers to peer
through the little windows from an eleva-
tion that enabled them to see Il greater
scope of country on both banks than they
had before been accustomed to sweep with
their vision. The innovation coming on
just at the time that Texas was causing
such commotion all over the world, pas
sengers and boatmen with one accord al
ways referred to the apartment as the
texas. The name has stuck to it ever
SINCE and is about as good as any other,
though often hear people wonder at its
origin. ."-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Marriage and Home Life In China,

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 duty which
he owes to his ancestors.
The custom Of the Chinese to marry off
their SONS and daughters at an early age
does not seem advisable to the Europeans
1t is 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 inva-
riably. The custom Of early marriages is
founded, moreover, on principles incompre-
hensible to the western mind. The boy
and girl Joined in wedlock do not form a
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 rule, with the duties
Of a housewife. But in entering the house
holds of their fathers-in-law they learn
the needful lessons in family economy
