Len Henri, well known pioneer,
relates an adventure that is out OF the
usual order. lie was travelling on a mar
row trail above the raging Grande Bonde
river when he came 10 landslide about
90 feet across that left no trail or even
a niche in the smooth, precipitous rock.
The trail was SO narrow that the horse
could not turn back. He was trapped.
Above the ~ foot break in the trail was
a sharp crag of overhanging rock. On
his sad e bow was a strong RATA 60
feet long and Henry is an expert in the
ase of it, He steadied himself upon the
saddle swung the rope over his head
and hurled it high into the air. 1t set
tied firmly over the crag. He tried it
carefully. Ii was firm. His saddle was
new and strong one, with double
cinches. Around the horn he wound the
rope. He urged the horse on to the edge
of the precipice.
The faithful beast stood firm. He
would not step over, but the rider drew
up the slack and pulled with all his
power. Inch by inch he drew the strain
ing horse forward till his feet slipped,
and he swung over the chasm. The
rider held his breath as he locked at the
river below and the slender rope above,
but he was across the gap. He sprang
up the trail and tugged at the reins to
aid the horse i'll gaining his feet. He
pulled, and the horse lunged up into the
trail with the chasm behind -Anacon-

A Great Yacht Race.

The emperor of Germany is to pre-
sent a cup, valued at some hundreds of
pounds, for all ocean match between
yachts from Dover to Heligoland, off
the mouth of the Elbe. This match is
to be confined to yachts over 40 rating
"built" in England, which Of course
must include the Clyde, and, il may be
inferred, British owned. The trophy is
said TO be three feet high and has been
designed by the emperor, who includes
the jewelers. craft among his many ac-
complishments. On the arrival of the
racers at Heligoland they are to be tow
ed through the Kiel canal to Kiel, where
the German emperor is to provide re-
gatta on great scale and a magnificent
fete for the visitors The occasion is the
jubilee of Queen Victoria on the COM
pletion of her reign of go years. OF
course American built yachts are out of
the contest as we'll as European rivals.

Substantial 8 o'clock Teas.

Attention is called in the New York
Times to the substantial 8 O'Clock
teas INDUCED in by the English. Light
wines and delicate vegetable salad,
with mayonnaise, are now frequently
served at them. This is possibly because
bicyclists often drop in, and it is hun
cry work pedaling, as every body knows.
Some new sandwiches evolved for the
function, when it really becomes BIZ

ed and pressed between thin slices Of
white or brown bread and butter. Some
times salad of tomatoes, cucumbers
and bananas sliced and dressed with
cream and lemon juice is also seen on

THE HOUSEHOLD.
csremonious Dinner diving-substantial
O'Clock Teas-The Old Fash
toned Apple Pie.

The servants of course do all the
waiting, without comment or help from
their master or mistress They fill the
glasses Of the guests and offer the prop
en- wines with their proper courses.
When dessert is on the table and the
guests have been helped to wine, the
servants Withdraw from the dining
room, and any further passing of wine
is done by the host, who begins his at
him. Ladies are not expected to take
more than one glass of wine at dessert,
and, where English form is followed,
about ten minutes after the servants
have left the room the hostess gives
the signal for the ladies to retire by
bowling to the lady guest of honor, who
has been taken into dinner by the host
She then rises from her seat, an exam
pie which is followed by every lady pres
emit and by all the gentlemen. The host
or the gentleman who chances to be
nearest the door steps forward and opens
il. All the other gentlemen remain
standing in their places till the ladies
have left the room, which they do in
the order in which they came in to din
ner, the hostess going out last of all.
On reaching the drawing room the la
dies are served with coffee at once.
This is served in small cups on tray,
with milk and sugar for those who take
il. A few minutes later it is taken TO
the dining room and either handed
round to each gentleman or placed on
the table that they may help themselves.
Cigarettes are frequently smoked before
the ladies are rejoined, and after coffee
is finished, a general adjournment takes
place to the drawing room on the part
Of the host and his guests. Not more
than 90 minutes at the outside should
elapse before this adjournment, and the
time is sometimes much shorter. With
the French, however, it is not the GUS
tom for the gentlemen to linger behind
at all. They accompany the ladies back
to the drawing room.
Half past 10 is the usual hour for or
dering carriages, and these are an
nounced at the drawing room door by
the servant as they arrive. Wraps are
either put on in the hall or the cloak
room. 1t should be altogether needless
to hint that no gratuities whatever are
offered to servants on these occasions.
Each guest on leaving shakes hands
with the host and hostess. The latter
invariably rises, if she happens TO be
seated, in order to bid her guest good
night. In going to the door, acquaint-
ances wish each other good night, but
do not cross the room for the purpose,
except on special occasions.
Dinner calls should be made within a
week or ten days. The caller should ask
if the hostess is at home, and, if not, the
usual routine of card leaving should be
followed. Among intimate friends who
give many dinners the custom of call
ing after each of these entertainments is
greatly relaxed, and no offense is given
, if the call is altogether omitted.

The SPORTING WORLD.

When a bicycle rider has the first sus-
eicion Of puncture or OF anything
wrong with tire, it is wise to dis
mount at once and make an examina-
ton. If, for instance, tack has been
picked up" il is possible, nay, even
probable that few revolutions of the
wheel may cause the point to penetrate
the inner side of the tire and be the
cause of additional trouble.
Not long ago man found his rear
tire going down. but rode on several
rods until it was too fat to use longer
He found the cause OF the trouble was
piece of wire about an inch long,
driven in almost its entire length. He
was able to repair the puncture so that
not particle of air escaped around the
plug he had inserted, but still the tire
would not "stay up" After pumping it
as hard as possible, he was able to ride
only little way.
Fortunately there was repair shop
within half "a mile, and when the tire
was put in water, bubbles of air came
out freely from the side next the rim.
The point of the wire had, in fact, been
jammed against the inner side UNI
Der Of times and given spongy charac-
ter to an area of appreciable size
1t took all the plugs there were in
the shop and all the rider carried in his
kit to make that spot whole, and piece
of tire tape had to be used in addition,
SO that the wheelman could ride the &c
miles that lay between him and his
home. philadelphia Press.

A Very Strong Boy.

The latest aspirant for Sandow's hon.
ors is Henry Singer. He was born in
New York city and has been everything
from longshoreman to swinger of
an immense hammer in a foundry
1t was while he was mechanic that
he developed remarkable strength. He
is now only 10 years Of age and weighs
100 pounds.
He can lift 200 pound man over his
head with one hand as easily as an ordi-
nary person would baby. He claims
to have placed ring of chain in his
mouth and then pulled against five men
successfully. He has lifted an iron post
weighing 1880 pounds and held up a
100 pound dumbbell with five men
hanging on it.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Hints About Picking.

Kettles of block tin or lined with
porcelain are the best for picking. Iron
discolors the acid, and the verdigris
produced by the vinegar on brass, cop.
per or bell metal is extremely poison
GUS. If, after keeping the pickles any
time you discern any symptoms of their
not keeping well, boil them over again
with fresh vinegar and spice. The jars
in which pickles are kept should always
be full enough of vinegar to cover the
pickles themselves. Vinegar for pickles
should only boil five or six minutes,
says Standard Designer.

witnesses Who See Through Glass.

1T is curious, says Maine lawyer,
'how prevalent the notion Is that per-
son cannot testify as witness in court
to anything seen through glass What
would you do with all the folks that
wear spectacles and see everything
through glass; asked Maine judge
not long ago, referring to this notion.
If the glass through which an action or
event was seen was wavy, SO as TO dis
tort the appearance of objects, that fact
might nowadays raise a doubt as TO the
reliability of the evidence, but could not
exclude it. The prevailing notion doubt
less had its rise III very ancient days,
when all the glass i'll use for windows
was very much warped and blurred.
Such glass may be seen-a single pane
of tin the Office Of the little hotel in
Cambridge village, framed and kept as
a relic Where such material was in
use il is little wonder that witness
was prevented from testifying as to
what he saw through it, twas in COM
mon use in England ut the time of the
settlement of New England, and natu-
rally in the early homes of this continent
it was the best that could be had. But
such rule where modern glass is in
common use would be nonsense. -
