WESTERN EXPERIENCES.

Stories Of the Frontiersman and the Ten.
derfoot Soldier from the East.
The western frontiersman often
seems to hold in slight esteem the
soldiers who are sent for the protection
of the border. Having learned Indian
methods by many hard knocks. he
doubtless fails to exercise proper
charity toward those whose experiences
have been less extended. His ordinary
state of mind may be illustrated by
some extracts from "An Historical
Rocky Mountain Outpost" An Indian
fighter, speaking of newly arrived
soldiers, said: They be the greenest
set, and the sight of an Injun jest
about scarcs 'em to death. / never saw
any of 'em was afraid of, if had any
sort of a show.
'Why, back in 80 I undertook to
take young man back to the states,
and we started in buggy: a buggy, do
you mind! When he got down the
Arkansas piece we heard the red
skins was pretty thick, but we went
right on, only keeping more of look
out, you know.
but along in the afternoon we saw
we got ready to give 'em reception.
We had hard chase, but at last they
got pretty sick of the way handled
my rifle, and concluded to let us alone
for awhile. They kept watch of us,
though, and meant. to get square with
us that night.
"Well, we travelled till dark. stopped
just long enough to build big fire,
and then lit out. When those Injurs
came for us that night we were in
some other place, and they lost their
grip on that little scalping bee.
They didn't trouble us any more,
that's sure. And when we got to the
teams, six stages and two companies
of soldiers, all shivering for fear of the
Injuns. 1t rather took the wind out of
'em to see US come in with that buggy;
and they didn't want to believe we had
come through. But we were there, and
they couldn't get out of it,

than others the frontiersman is free to
admit. Among the few matters he
would have otherwise, he gives the
first place to the tough range" or
''snow-fed" beef upon which he must
needs subsist.
Il heard story once" said he,
''about a young man, tenderfoot. who
after long wondering what made the
beef SO fearfully tough, at length ar
rived at the solution, as he thought,
and that quite by accident. He was
riding out with friend, an old resi-
dent, when they chanced to come upon
bunch of cattle.
THE young man seemed to be study
ing over something, and finally he
pointed to an animal which bore the
brand b. c. As
"'Look at that he exclaimed. How
can you expect those antediluvians to
be anything but tough? Why don't
you kill your cattle before they get to
be two or three times as old as Me-
thuselah?'"

CoDjectures to the Future of . Race OF
Nervous Men.
The young man of the day, says the
London Graphic, rs poor creature-a
mere bundle of nerves, hypochondria
cal. hysterical, and the wretched
victim of an eve-increasing neuras-
thenia. That is what DIR. Erb has to
say of him, and DIR. Erb is one of the
most eminent psychologists in Ger
many. 'NeurastheIia," he says, sis a
disease peculiar to the educated
classes, originating in overexertion OF
the brain. Cverburdening the mind
begins at school Youth en-.
joys too easily the excitement of So
ciety life. Poetry has deteriorated into
gross materizlism, music has become
too loud, even painting shows us the
ugly side of things" And the conse-
quence is that the race Of men is slow
condition of hysterical women. Mr..
Grant Allen takes up the fattering
tale. and asserts that the modern
young man is so poor a creature that
he dare not even ask a woman to
marry him. Wherein, if he is con-
scious of his defects. he acts with more
prudence and chivalry than Mr.. Grant
Allen gives him credit for. Is the in.
dictment true? 1t is difficult to DENY
it q certain measure Of truth. 1t is
our modern custom to overwork the
brains of the young, to surround their
body with overmuch luxury, giving no
chance to the development of endur-
ance; and it is our fate to live in an
age when railways, telegraphs and fifty
other inventions have added immeas
urably to the wear and tear of the
individual and separate units of So
ciety. But to this much of truth
there has surely been added a vast
deal of exaggeration. We are more
nervous; perhaps, but we are not less
strong, less valiant or less long-lived
than our forefathers were. Where's
for es ante Agamemnona. and strong
men will live again though Agamem-
non he dead. The complaint is a very
old one. No doubt the old stagers at
the siege of Troy shook their heads
gravely over the degenerate fighting
qualities of their grandsons.

CHASING A SWIFT cunARoER.

What the Cruiser Columbia Nigh. Hava
to Do in Case Of War.
A comparison of the speed merits of
the cruiser Columbia with the two
fastest ships ahoat in case OF war is
made by the New York Tribune. The
two vessels which the Columbia might
have difficulty in catching are the Cam
pania and Lucania. The Campanis
has made the highest average hourly
speed ever attained by vessel in a
transatlantic voyage. She did it re-
Gently when she made an average Of
2i2s knots from Queenstown to New
York. The highest average speed for
one day was made recently by the Lu-
cania, which ran at an average of 22.74
knots for "a hours so minutes nauti-
cal day-coming west. Now, suppose
there was war between England and
America, and the Columbia was look
ing for one of the two big ships, which,
under those circumstances, would be
either in use as transports or trans
formed into light-armed commerce de.
stroyers themselves. A sharp lockout
would be kept from the crows nest for
the swift and terrific Columbia. As
her four smokestacks would make her
more readily distinguishablet than an
ordinary ship, she could be recognized
for certainty with glass, say fifteen
miles under ordinary circumstances, or
say approximately eighteen miles un.
der the most favorable circumstance.
The Columbia would also recognize
the Cunarder and the race would be-
gin.
If the Columbia made the time she
made on her trial race of 22s knots
and the Lucania made the best time
she ever made of 2a.74 knots an hour.
the Columbia would have gained on
the Lueania at the end of an hour .07
of knot. But the Lucania has the
advantage of an 1s-mile start. Eight
cen miles is equal to about 15s knots.
The fraction is tri1e larger, but two
thirds is near enough for practical pur-
poses. Now, if the Columbia gains
OF of knot in one hour, it would take
her little over nine days to overtake
the Lucania. In that time the Lucania
could easily make British fortified
port. no matter where the chase should
take place. England has chain of
Notifications around the world. In
the case of the Campania, taking her
best average speed for transatlantic
voyage of 21.2S knots, the Columbia
would have difference in her
favor of 153 knots If she
gained 153 knots an hour on the
Campania it would take her to over
come the 1873 knots which the Cam
pania had the start about 10 hours and
25 minutes 1t would therefore seem
as if the Liicania were the only ship
which the Columbia could not catch.
In a long stern chase. such as the Co.
lumbia would have after the Lucania,
she would probably hotget within fight
ing range until days enough had passed
for the Cunarder to make port or for
the chase to be given up.

1t Pays Better to BE q Maker OF War
Than q Preacher of Peace.
It has been said that the world pays
most to those who kill, generals and
great lords; next most to those who
amuse, singers and actors; while those
who preach, teach and write for the
papers come along somewhere near the
bottom of the list. There's a good
deal to bear out the theory, remarks
the New York Recorder. Marlbor-
ough, for his victories, got the mag
nifcent estate of Blenheim and lots
besides. Wellington became extremely
wealthy. Napoleons generals were
rewarded with crowns. Won Moltke
was made rich, and might have had
much more money if he had cared for
it. Even little Lord Wolseley has made
a heap of money-second class wars.
The number of actors and singers
who have accumulated half million,
besides living expensively, is quite
large. Sir Walter Scott made as much
as that by his pen. Mr.. Gunter has
made nearly as much by lightweight
novels. Mark Twain has made more
than that on his copyrights, and some
from investment. Bronson Howard
must soon reach the half-million mark.
Zola, Sardou and perhaps Daudet long
since passed it.
