The Avalanche.

The guide gave the word to leave
the channel of ice and take to the rocks
on the side, for a SNOWFALL or two had
rolled down from above, and he was
afraid more might follow. Scarcely had
we got out of our trough and upon the
crags when down came an avalanche
with vengeance, and we were within
20 feet Of tremendous discharge Of
thousands of tons of snow and ice,
which swept down the track that we
had just assembled, We were perfectly
safe, but somehow the half hiss, half
roar, remained in my ears for some
time, and for many nights afterward,
when indigestible suppers or bad Swiss
beer produced evil dreams, the ava
lanche was sure to figure in them

A NEW JERSEY POKER STORY.
Four Straight Flushes Result In an Equal
Division of the Stakes.


Division of the Stakes.
A straight flush in the great Ameri-
can game of draw poker is such rarity
that the person holding it is regarded as
one of the most fortunate and blessed of
mortals. Devotees of that game will
peruse the following story with incredu-
liy, but its absolute authenticity can
be verified by at least ten thoroughly
reliable witnesses: A party of four play
ers entered place not thousand miles
from Summit one night not long ago
and prepared to enjoy few hours of
recreation at their favorite game. An
other game i'll progress at the time was
full, so the four players were obliged to
start at an adjoining table.
The "jack pot" came around, each of
the four players filled in, and the game
proceeded. The cards, regulation pack,
90 cards, were cut by the player to the
right of the dealer and dealt out in the
regular manner. The first player to the
left of the dealer opened the ''jack pot, T"
and each succeeding player in turn
raised. The limit was 10 cents, and the
players are usually light bettors, SO
that the raising and lively chipping in
before the draw created considerable
surprise. When the dealer prepared to
serve the cards for the draw, each of the
players stood "pat," and the betting
again started.
When each of the players had Clipped
in $40, it was decided to stop the bet
ting, as that amount had never before
been wagered on a game in the place,
and none of the players could afford to
risk greater amount. When the hands
were shown, some of the players almost
succumbed to heart disease, for there
lay four straight flushes, one of each
suit and all running from four to eight.
The pot was divided, and the cards
were carefully put away in case to be
preserved as a reminder of the greatest
poker hands ever held in this section
and probably in the United States.-

A NEW WAY TO PURIFY WATER.
Chemicals Said to Be Superior to Either
Rolling or Filtering.


According to DR.. Dupont, physician
of Paris, writing in Les Annales d'Hy-
giene Publique, safe and effective
method of purifying water by chemical
action has been discovered. Dr.. Dupont
notes that hitherto the methods of puri-
flying drinking water have been by fl
tration and by the action of heat. Fill
tration is the Oldest and least effective
method. Even filtration through porous
porcelain, the most effective substance
known, cannot always be trusted, espe-
cially after the apparatus has been long
in use. DIR. Dupont does not assert that
boiling fails to destroy noxious germs,
but he says that it often leaves in the
water organic matter that might be
dangerous to health, and that boiling
makes water less digestible by robbing
it of it's gases. He instances a case in
which water from the Seine was found
after boiling to contain more microbes
than before.
N. Girar, director of the municipal
laboratory of Paris, and DR.. Bordas,
pupil of Professor Brouardel, have re-
Gently presented to the Academy of
Sciences, through the chemist Friedel,
communication on the publication of
water by chemical action. The chemic-
ais used are permanganate of lime and
binoxide Of manganese. The permanga-
nate of lime, coming in contact with Or
ganic matter and micro organisms, de-
stroys them and decomposes itself into
oxygen, oxide of manganese and lime
Then, to carry off the surplus of per-
manganate and complete the purifica
ton, the water is poured over binoXide
of manganese. Oxygen in the nascent
state is thus freed, and it burns up any
remaining germs. There remain then in
the apparatus inferior oxides of manga
nese, which hasten to reoXidize them
selves and furnish again certain guam
tity of binoxide Of manganese. The wa
ter, as thus finally purified, contains a
little lime i'll the form of bicarbonate
and traces of oxygenated water,
A very small quantity of permanga-
nate of lime is used in this process.
Not more than 1.3 grains troy to
about quart of water taken from the
Seine at a point near Paris resulted in
the production of perfectly pure water
as wholesome as spring water. DR.. Du-
pont says that if the process can be made
successful on large scale the question
of purifying water is settled. Water
containing 100, 900 colonies of microbes
per cubit cantimeter can thus be puri-
fed, and ice placed in water with per-
mangarate of lime is also quickly ster

A Small Business Building.

The distinction of being the smallest
business establishment in this city is
claimed for diminutiye Georgia pine
building at Saja East Houston street,
where is located candy, fruit and soda
water business. The structure is fitted
tightly between two towering brick
walls and covers an alleyway surface
which had not hitherto been considered
susceptible of utilization. The cost Of
the tiny place was $3.50, and it rents
for $500 a year. Its actual measure

AS TolLsoME ! WANDERED.

To the music of rustling leaves kicked by my
feet, for twas autumn,
marked Mt the foot of tree the grave of q
soldier.
Mortally wounded he, and buried on the re-
treat easily all could understand),
The halt of q midday hour, when up! no time
to lose, yet this sign left,
On tablet scrawled and nailed on the tree by
the grave,
Bold, cautious, true, and my loving comrade
Long, long muse, then on my way go wan
dering,
Many changeful season to follow, and many
a scene of life,
Yet at times through changeful season and
scene, abrupt, alone, or in the crowded
street,
Comes before me the unknown soldiers grave,
comes the inscription rude in Virginia's
woods,
Bold, cautious, true, and my loving coinrade.

OLD "JIM CROW"
How Rice introduced This Unique Char
acter to the Stage.

acter to the Stage.
In the early twenties Thomas Dart
mouth Rice first entered upon his theat-
rical career by doing little negro bits, "
between the acts of plays, says the
writer in the Boston Herald. While in
Louisville the theater at which he per-
formed looked out back upon an old
stable yard, around which there was
constantly lounging an old, decrepit
slave named Jim Grow, who was SO
frightfully deformed as to appear inhu-
man. His left shoulder sloped off from
the neck in way that would indicate
that the bone had been inverted. His
lower limbs were dreadfully distorted,
the left knee being huge bony knot
larger than his head, which caused him
to move about with a pitiful, yet ludi-
crous, hobble.
This forlorn darky was in the habit
Of grooming a queer old tune, and desig-
mated the close of each verse by taking
a peculiar step rockin de heel" Rice
closely watched this unconscious per-
former, and conceived the idea of pro-
ducing similar stage character, which,
he felt assured, would "take" wonder
fully. Accordingly, he made up precise
ly as the original and appeared upon a
Louisville stage singing a score of hu-
morous verses to the air-~slightly
changed and quickened-of the poor,
wretched cripple. The audience received
this innovation with bursts of applause,
encoring him dozen times the first
night And thus "Jim Grow" jumped
into fame and Immortality.

Rubinstein and Bulow.

Rubinstein was undoubtedly inaeen-
rate at times People who held scores
through those long programmes could
easily find that out. He not only en-
broidered even Beethoven, but he would
invent Bach, What he invented was
probably quite as coed as what he hap
pened TO forget and always extremely
interesting. Still, it was not note for
note, and that is what the dullards
gloated over. Bulow was more accu-
rate, but even Bulow forgot or manu-
factured q bar or two occasionally. Rut
these, il spots, were spots i'll the sun,
and certainly all Rubinstein did or left
undone serve but to accentuate his in
dividuality and display his genius in
new and startling lights.-FortnightlF

Homers and Carrier Pigeons.

The homer and the carrier are both
brilliant f1iers, but the homer is the
speedier bird and better fitted for long
distances. lhe homer has the widest
spread wings Of all pigeons, and can
sail for an enormous distance through
midair. 1t is also considerably lighter
than the carrier and is possessed Of
more phenomenal powers of endurance,
having been known to fly 800 miles
without alighting. On a clear day, with
a good sky and favorable wind, 400
miles is an admirable record, although
500 miles day is the goal of every pi-
geon fiier's ambition. A bird that can
perform this remarkable feat is worth at
least 500, and may be valued at $500
if it is capable of a better record. The
birds gameness, stamina and speed
reach their highest point of excellence
at 3 and 4 years of age, which is the
natural prime Of life for f1ier. After
they have passed their prime they de-
teriorate in a scarcely mott ceable degree
and at 10 or 10 years of age are still
good for the shorter distances. es.-Chicago
