hear the sound of a species OF bagpipe
coming up the grand staircase. The dis
cordant sounds were found toproceed from

in accordance with the custom Of his coun-
try, was blowing his hardest, in order to
bring luck to the bride anc bridegroom.

driving down st. James street, one of the

and thereby upset the nervous equilibrium
of its compauion The two then bolted
down the street and could not be stopped
until they upset the carriage and made a
general spill Lord Salisbury was lifted
out of the overturned vehicle, shaken but
uuiujured. His hat, however, was smashed.

would have made!

The Maine centra1,s Growth.


twas only few years ago that Mr.. Pilsbury
left the important Office of superintendent of To-
connective power on the Eastern road, for SINH
larzplace on the Maine Central. Every
body said that it was strange Mr.. Tucker could
influence a man to leave a big road for small
one, but evidently Mr.. Tucker and Mr.. Piisbury
knew what they were about. Since then the
Maine Central has outgrown the line once
known as the Eastern railroad. Names road
earns more money. does more business, has
more cars, locomotives, men and more mileage.
Mr.. Piisbury has added A ew engines to the
road and is fast doing away with all the smaller
machines 1t was only very few years ago the
chime engines came out and they were the
cream then. The best one on the road three
years ago hauled President Harrison across the
state and took him and Senator Hale from Ban
gor to Watervil1e, "a miles, in 45 minutes But
they won't do for the main line nowadays, nor
for the faster trains. Some of the flyers of
1850 are on the Bar Harbor and Dexter
branches; some run the route to Skowhegan.
while the schenectady machines haul the day
Pullmans, and the big six-wheelers run by
night. There are no faster machines in the
world than at present are arriving and leaving
Portland each noon with IL and IS cars, the
longest trains for local long distance runs in
this country. Big moguls haul the freights and
the end is not yet. 1t is an open question
whether the Maine Central management can
postpone the summer time table until June 81

Day:
Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1892-09-30

The ancient Turkish couriers always ran
with bare feet, which grew so hard and
destitute of feeling that they are said to
have had themselves shod, like horses, with
light iron shoes. To render the resem-
blance more complete, they carried in their
mouths balls of silver pierced with holes,
and champed these as a horse does his bit.
Further. their belts and carriers were fur
nished with little bells, which tinkled
wherever they went.
Besides their pay they received two full
suits of clothes every year. Their costume
consisted of an Albanian cassock of dam
ask or striped satin and a belt of silk en-
riched with gold, in which they carried
their poniard. Later they began to wear
coverings upon their feet-long stockings
as well as a rude kind of shoe. Upon their
heads they wore high bonnets covered with
silver, from which waved enormous plumes
of ostrich feathers. In one hand each man
carried his Ratchet and in the other a bag
full of comfits, with which they kept their
mouths moist while running.
In this costume they accompanied their
noble master and conveyed his messages
as far as he pleased to send them. As soon
as they had received his orders away they
went, leaping and capering among the
crowd with the agility of a deer, crying,
SAUL, saulil" ('Take care, take care!")
On they rushed, night and day, with aston
fishing swiftness, taking no repose until
they had delivered the message intrusted
to them.-Harper's Young People.
