tinually coughing while in the office
this week? The matter is worthy of
the attention of the Postoff1ce Depart

Mexican residing here, four-pound
package of chilicapinos, and the pack
age bursted open, en- route, and these
little red-hot Mexican peppers left their
pungent dust scattered all through the
mail pouch, and when it was opened
the dust invaded the entire Office. Ev-

raises dust to invade the throat and

In leaving Badashar you ride twelve
Aays between east and northeast, as
cending the river that runs through
land belonging to a brother of the
Prince of Badashan, and containing a
good many towns and villages and
scattered habitations. The people are
Mahommetans and valiant in war. At
the end OF those twelve days you come
to q province of no great size, extend

journey In any direction, and this Is
called Vokhan. The people worship
Mahommet, and they have a peculiar

anu they have a chief whom they call

There are numbers of wild beasts Of
all sorts in this region And when you
leave this little country, and ride three
days northeast, always among noun
tains, you get to such a height that It's
said to be the highest place in the
world! And when you have got to this
height you find great lake between
two mountains. and out of 1t fine river
running through a plain clothed with
the finest pasture in the world; inso-
much that a lean beast there will fatten
to your hearts content In ten days.
There are great numbers of all kinds
of wild beasts; among others, wild
sheep of great size, whose horns are q
good six palms in length. From these
horns the shepherds make great bowls
to cat from, and they use the horns
also to enclose folds for their cattle at
night. Messer Marco was told also
that the wolves were numerous, and
killed many Of those wild sheep. Hence
gu antilles Of their horns and bones
were found, and these were made into
great heaps by the wayside, in order
to guide travellers when snow was on
the ground.
The plain Is called Pamier, and you

habitations or any green thing, so that
travellers are obliged to carry with
them whatever they have need of. The
region Is so lofty and cold that you do
not even see any birds flying. And
must notice also that because of this
great cold, fire does not burn so bright
ly, nor give out so much heat as usual
noe does 1t cook food so effectually.
Now, If we go on with our journey
toward the east-northeast, we travel q
good forty days, continually passing
over mountains and hills, or through
valleys, and crossing many rivers and
tracts of wilderness. And in all this
way you find neither habitation of man,
nor any green thing, but must carry
with you whatever you require. The
country is called Bolor. The people
dwell high up in the mountains, and
are savage Idolaters, living only by
the chase, and clothing themselves in
the skins Of beasts. They are in truth
an evil race.-St Nicholas.

Just across from the depot was the

gage truck on the platform was a
ragged, lonesome man, whom any one
would have spotted at once for tramp.
There were q dozen of us walking up

but for quarter of an hour the tramp

and climbed the graveyard fence.
Half dozen of lis followed him, and
as we reached the fence and looked
over he pointed to three graves which
were so new that grass had not taken
root, and said:
'There's the family-wife and two

room, shouting: Where is he? Where
Is my guardian angelo? Presuming he
meant to congratulate the author, Rey-
holds replied: Here l amv' "Pooh,"
replied Sheridan, 81 don't mean you;

who played In the piece, approached
Sheridan one night, with woeful coun-

In the strictly mechanical work of

conductor are twisted up together or
stranded, when they are passed through
the covering machine, by which the

tinuous envelope Then the core is
served with jute yarns, which are laid
round 1t spirally, forming an elastic soft
bedding for the sheathlng wires, which,
as well as the outer serving and COM

served core passes through the hollow
shaft of a circular skeleton frame work
of iron, on which are mounted bobbins
filled with steel wire or jute yarn, as
the case may be. This framework can
be rotated and, the cable being drawn
along at the same time, the wires or
yarns are wound splrally round the
core. The final coating the bituminous
compound, is applied by passing the
