and other mountain districts of the
western Carolinas, where the people and
their roads are both poor, and a journey
of twenty miles seems like n trip to the
worlds end. horses are scarce. Their
place is partly taken by bulls and oxen
that are trained to the saddle as well
as to the plow.

cold weather at Allentown, Pa, was
the freezing fast to the wet rails OF
three long and heavy coal trains. One
of them suffered an accident, compel.
ling it to stop, and when it was ready tc
move its 125 cars We're frozen fast and
could not be moved. One train after
another came along on the same track
and, on stopping for those in front to
move, suffered the same fate. 1t was
several hours before the blockade was
raised.

sells many daggers to women. They
are not ornaments but serious weapons.
They are just large enough to slip
easily inside a womans gown. Some
women have these made to order, when
they are lavishly adorned and incrusted
with precious stones. They are fre.
quently carried in travelling, when they
are intended as weapons of defense.
They are preferred to revolvers, which
are likely to go off summarily and in
the wrong direction.

is that an absent-minded attendant can
not easily make the mistake of using ;
poison for a harmless drug, and the
