HE SAVED HIS HAT.

But In Doing So He Came Near Sliding OF
the Niagara Ice Mountain.
Two we'll known travelling passenger
agents had an exciting time here the
other day. John E. Burke of the Louis
Vile and Nashville and William Kelly,
Jr., of the Chicago, Milwaukee and ST..
Paul were in the city on business. In
company with Local Passenger Agent
B. B. Dennison of the New York Cen
trail they visited the ice bridge. The
party climbed the ice mountain, and
while on the brink Burke's hat was
blown off and began to roll down the
ice on the side of the mountain toward
the American falls.
Burke, without thinking of his dan
ger, dropped down on his stomach to
lean over and secure the hat. He be-
gan to slip down the side of the ice
mountain toward the whirling water
and certain death. He shouted, "Help
me!''
And Kelly, leaning over, caught his
foot. The ice was slippery, and Kelly
lost his footing, and he, too. began to
slip.
Dennison, who is a big, powerful
man, grabbed Kelly's legs, and thus the
three men formed loop over the top
of the mountain. Burke shouted, For
Gods sake, boys, don't let go!' Den
nison managed to get Kelly over to his
side of the mountain, and then they
pulled Burke up. He brought his hat
with him.-Niagara Falls Cor. New

Rare Presence of Mind.

81 knew sea captain who died some
years ago who displayed great presence
of mind at most critical time" said
Henry S. Roberts of Boston. "His ship
had caught fire, and the passengers and
crew were compelled to take to the boats
in hurry. The captain remained per-
fectly cool throughout all the confusion
and fright of the embarkation, and at
last every one but himself was got safe
ly into the boats. By the time he was
ready to follow the passengers were wild
with fear and excitement. Instead OF
hurrying down the ladder, the captain
called out to the sailors to hold ON a
minute, and taking a cigar from his
pocket coolly bit the end off and lighted
it with piece of the burning rigging.
Then he descended with great delibera-
ton and gave the order to shove off.
How could you stop to light a cigar at
such a moment?' he was afterward ask
ed by one of the passengers. Because,
he answered, Il saw that if / did not dc
something to divert your minds there
would likely be panic and upset the
boats The lighting of a cigar took but
a moment and attracted the attention
of everybody. You all forgot yourselves
in thinking about my curious behavior,
and we got safely away. '"-St Louis

DANGER IN THE BRIDAL TOURS.
She Medical Aspects of the Case Presented
to Those About to Marry.

She Medical Aspects Of the Case Presented
to Those About to Marry.
The custom which obtains so general
Iy of taking fatiguing journey as
part of the nuptials is regarded by high
authority as one Of the barbarisms Of
civilization. Let Us illustrate the inju-
rious physical tendencies by typical
case During extremely cold weather
there occurs a wedding, which, from
the standing of the parties, attracts
some attention. The happy couple, we
are told, are off for their wedding trip
to a still more frigid section Of country.
Though conscious Of danger and dis
comfort, to some extent, which is great
ly increased by their inexperience in
travelling, they cheerfully assume the
risk and responsibility, as to all mar
ried couples a bridal tour seems to be
considered as absolutely essential to give
the marital union an Importance with
out which it would in their opinion, be
unromantic and but partial marriage
The tour causes fatigue, exposure and
excitement, making regularity Of life
impossible-in fact, the act involves the
reverse of all that the rules of health
and physiology require.
Again, it constantly happens in the
case of both sexes that slight indispo-
sition, which passed unnoticed in the
hurry of preparation, is aggravated to
serious and even fatal extent by the ex-
citement, exposure and neglect on
wedding tour No man, for instance,
would think of postponing his marriage
on account of slight cold. If he staid
at home afterward and took care of him
self, it would pass away like other slight
colds, but often on the bridal tour the
malady develops into a chronic disease.
A prominent physician recently said:
MANY cases of brides and bridegrooms
in my professional experience came un
der my observation dying Of typhoid fe-
yer just after a wedding trip, which
had caused the early symptoms to be
misunderstood and neglected. In one
instance that came under my observa-
ton healthy and vigorous young man,
just returned from bridal tour, died of
typhoid fever in Troy, his sickness be-
ing superinduced presumably by the ia
tigue and exposure incident to the jour
ney. 1t will thus be seen that the med
ical aspect of bridal tour is sufficient
ly important and the risk incurred suffi-
GENTLY great to cause the welded pair,
if they wish to be actuated by impulses
of reason and prudence rather than by
the dictates of custom, to pause before
they undergo the trials of wedding
journey. Troy Times

Danish Peasantry.

The Danish peasantry have notable
love of order and symmetry in house
hold arrangement, placing their furni-
ture wherever possible in pairs and in
exactly corresponding positions. One
old peasant who had accumulated a lit
tie money and had been prevailed upon
to buy his daughter a piano seriously
considered buying another to place
against the opposite wall. Their bed
steads consist of great boxes, generally
painted red or green and heaped with
feather beds, between which they in
sinuate themselves winter and summer,
If unable TO afford so many feathers, the
underbed is of straw and receives SO
little attention that mice build their
nests in it and race back and forth
squealing shrilly without disturbing the
stolid peasant slumbers. The bedding is
not washed oftener than once or twice
a year ar-Philadelphia Press.

PROTECTED By HIS DOGS.
How Famous Moonshiner So Long Evaded
Capture by Revenue Officers.

Capture by Revenue Omcers.
The most noted mountaineer in West
Virginia and perhaps in Kentucky and
North Carolina, Jim Day, has at last
been captured. The government Off
GERS have been trying to arrest Day for
over Is years, but failed on every occa-
sion. Day, who is tall, muscular,
shrewd looking fellow, has been run
ming illicit stilIs for over 10 years. Dur
ing this time he had sometimes as many
as a dozen stills running at one time.
The stills were located in the depths
of the primitive forests or In caves in
the mountain sides long distance from
roadways and trails. The stills are al
ways located near some prominent
height or at point from which guard
or spy, constantly on the alert, could
overlook all approaches and advise his
companions Of the vicinity of suspi-
cious looking strangers. Time and again
revenue officers have attempted TO way
lay and ambush Day. They found roads
and trails over which it was known he
would be forced TO travel, and they
then placed squads in ambush, but al
though Day had been seen CT traced
along the road he always slipped through
their fingers without a scratch.
At last the secret Of his success in
evading the officers became known.
Day had number of thoroughbred dogs
which he had trained to scent out rev.
enue officers or strangers and to notify
him of their presence long before they
could come in sight. When travelling
over the routes or trails leading to and
from any of his stills, two of Days
dogs always trotted along in front sew
eral hundred yards, taking opposite
sides of the road. Two would fall back
in the rear, and one would advance like
a scout on each side.
In case of an ambuscade the dogs in
front would scent the presence of the
deputy marshals before they got within
hundred yards of them. They would
return quickly TO their master and in.
form him by their actions of the pres
ence of the enemy. Day would then
take to the woods to the right or left,
with dog In advance, and pass around
an ambuscade without being seen. In
case pursuers should come up behind,
Days dogs, which had been trailing
along, would quickly hear or scent them
and then would hurry forward to their
master, who, knowing by their actions
how close the enemy was, could easily
evade them.-St. Louis Republic.

The Paris Bomb Wagon.

The activity of the anarchists in Paris
is attracting much attention to the new
institution which causes people to flee
in all directions whenever it appears on
the street, as it does now, several times
daily. 1t is the official homb chariot.
1t consists of light frame, including a
hooded iron seat, which protects the
driver. The body of the vehicle is hung
with delicate sets of springs. The ap-
pliance for holding the bombs is muffed
india rubber. An old ambling horse
draws it always at slow pace. The
coachman is an artilleryman, whose
salary was raised this week. The sus-
pected bombs are taken to a spot near
the Notifications Letter.

Wire Shafting.

From recently published estimate OF
the strength of the proposed wire shafts
for steamships it appears that in this i'm
portant respect the most satisfactory re-
suit is realized. When made in five Sec
tions, with total length of 100 feet and
Is inches diameter, the shaft will have
$4,000 No. steel wires, each % feet long,
with $4,000 fastenings, and as each wire
and each fastening will sustain load OF
500 pounds without rupture or injury
there is thus exhibited total inherent
strength of some 81, 10000 pounds, or an
amount % times greater than the con.
tinuous force of an engine of 5000 horse
power, which is indeed significant show.

Professor Horsley's Discovery.

Not only the medical world, but the
laity also, have been highly interested
by the evidence adduced by Professor
Horsley in lecture the other day, prov
ing that prehistoric man in the stone
age frequently performed the dangerous
and delicate operation of trepanning.
He had found 60 skulls in collections of
these relics on which the operation had
undoubtedly been performed. In one
case it had been done by drilling series
of small holes probably with a bone i'm
plement and then breaking small parti-
tions and. so releasing piece of bone.
Another operation seems to have been
performed with a flint saw. A third
method was scraping. This discovery
is the most important proof yet discov-
cred of the high intelligence of the un-
recorded ces.-London News.

Obed Thornton Of Arcade, N. Y, has
got his two sap buckets ready for use in
the maple sugar making season of 1894,
says correspondent. There would be
nothing particularly noticeable in that
fact, because scores of other people in
sugar regions are getting their sap buck
cts ready in the same way, but these
two buckets of Obed Thornton were
made by him in 1919, and he has used
them every season since. More than
that-he was % years old when he made
the buckets and three weeks ago cele-
brated the one hundredth anniversary
of his birth.
Mr.. Thornton came to Wyoming coun-
ty from New Hampshire in 1918. He
drove an OK team all the way. He set
tied on the farm where he has lived
ever since. He has been back to his old
New Hampshire home three times and
made the journey each time ON foot. In
1874 one Of his teeth began to ache.
Some one told him that if he applied
tobacco smoke to the tooth it would
stop the aching. He began smoking q
pipe. The tooth quit aching. He has
smoked almost constantly ever since
and has the same tooth yet. Mr.. Thorn

hearing is as good as it ever was. He is

REFUSES To TREAT WITH STRIKERS
After They Return TO Work Pullman
VIII Listen to Them.

CHICAGO, June 16.-At the American
Railway Union convention today the Pull
man strike committee reported that the
company refused to treat with representa-
tives of the union, but Second Vice Presi.
dent Wicks said he would treat
with the employees. The matter was
referred TO the Pullman delegation with
instructions TO appoint q committee to
confer with the officials and report TO the
American Railway Union. A proposition
was made to establish labor trust COM
pany in every stats. to create perpetual
fund TO carry on strikes. 1t is thought
the plan will be adopted with modifea-
tions.
Vice President Wicks refused to treat
with the Pullman committee. He In
formed the members that If they desired
TO submit proposition they must again
become employees Of the company. After
they had reported to the manager 1t the
works he would treat with them, and not
before.
When the committee reported 20 the
invention that Second Vice Pres dent
Weeks had declined TO treat with them ex-
cept as actual employees. the committee
decided 70 leave the whole matter 10 the
directors and general officers Of tfae union.
