a Cool Yankee.

Sir Daniel Lyons says that MANY
years ago, travelling in Canda and
tho United States, he came to a good
sized river which he had to GROSS by
q ferry-a large soow with a rough
deck, which had some poles dashed
along tho far side to prevent the
coach and horses from going over
board whom they embarked.
There was high bank on the side
of the river. Tho boat was made
fast underneath it, but there was no
way down nor any wharf.
Our driver, tall, hard looking
Yankee, gave US no time to think,
but drove straight up to the edge OF
tho bank, hauled in his leaders along.

sit fast, gents!'
The ground gave way and down
we went with a tremendous clatteI
and crash-oarth, coach, horses, pas
sengors and all-on to the deck OF
tho crazy craft.
We rolled and swung about most
alarmingly for few minutes, Broad

till at length the boat became more
tranquil. Then he quietly remarked
well, stranger, l guess we've

How TO PREVENT PNEUMONIA
AT this time of the year a cold is very
easily contracted, and if left to run its
course without the aid of some reliable
cough medicine is liable to result in
that dread disease, pneumonia. We
know of no better remedy to cure a
cough or cold than Chamberlain s Cough
Remedy. We have used it quite exten.
sively and it has always given entire
satisfaction OiGgdh, Ind Ter Chief.
This is the only remedy that is known
to be certain preventive of pneumonia.
Among the many thousands who have
used it for colds and la grippe, we have
never yet learned of sidgle case hav-

who have weak lungs or have reason to
fear an attack of pneumonia, should

An Awful Sight to Behold.

Colley Quarles is son of Mr. and
Mrs. A. M. Quarles, of Agnes. Lincoln
county, Ga. In November, 1894, he
had been out to buy his brother three
morphine pills. The brother took one
of the, pills and Colley took the other
two and fell asleep in front of the fire
and was burned. AS result Of his in
juries he has no nose, no eyes, no lips,
no scalp and his right ear is complete
ly gone. He has no bone on the top of
his head except the inner bone of the
skull. Yet the boy is lively, witty,
robust and healthy. According to the
Augusta Morning News, the little fel
low can discern light from darkness
through what is left of his left eye, but
he cannot distinguish any object. He
was twice given up for dead, but recov-
cred after months of suffering under
careful treatment. The boy has pull
ed out his chin and both cheek bones
which were parched by the flames. He
can hear distinctly; he sleeps we'll, he
eats heartily while laying on his back
and never complains from suffering
from any pains. 1t is, indeed, a miracle
how the lad has survived his injuries.
He is such an awful sight to behold
that when taken on the streets, in or
der not to frighten or sicken the peo-
pie, the unfortunate lads head Is en-
tirely concealed with linen covering.

a Deadly Occupation.
Bringing Out Borax From the Riffs In
Death Valley.

Death Valley.
The deadliest occupation for men or
horses is teaming in the borax fields of
Death valley of the great American
desert. There the longest teams in the
world are employed. Scientists declare
that the fierce heat in this narrow rent
in the cracked surface of the earth is
not equaled elsewhere in the world.
Where the therm ometer often regis
ters 140 degrees of heat unrelieved by
even breath of air, where men sleep
at night in hollow bitches filed with
water in order to avoid dying from col
lapse, the necessity for the longest
teams of mules and horses ever har-
messed to draw the great borax laden
wagons is apparent.
The desert team is the longest in the
world, and the percentage of deaths
among the horses is greater than tEat
of domestic animals used in any other
calling. Forty to go horses are often
hitched to one of the numbering vehi-
cles in which the borax is slowly drag,
ged across the sun baked alkali plains.
The average life of even the sturdiest
horses used in this work is six months,
for in this length of time they either
become broken winded, consumptive
from inhaling the deadly dust of the
desert or are driven crazy by the fright
full heat.
A man there, though protected by
the wagon swingings from the SUMS
rays. cannot go an hour without water
without danger of death. When team
breaks down and the water supply be-
comes deplected, the men ride on at
top speed for the nearest source of sup
ply, and often when they return they
find that the remaining horses, made
mad by thirst, have broken from the
harness and dashed off only to find
death in the desert.
The borax wagons weigh 5000 pounds
and carry 10000 pounds at load. Be
hind each wagon is a tank containing
hundreds of gallons of water. The
horses are harnessed in pairs, the train
ed ones in the lead, and the next in in
telligence just ahead of the tongue,
while the unruly and the youngsters
are hitched between. The nigh leader
has bride with the strap from the
left jaw shorter than the other, and
from the bride runs braided rope,
which the driver, perched on the wa
gon seat, holds in his right hand.
The rope is called the ''jerk line"
and is little longer than the team,
which stretches out several hundred
feet in front of the wagon. During the
busy season the borax wagons make an
almost continuous train, and the horses
alone, if placed in single file, would
make a team more than 100 miles long.
Besides a little food and water the
poor animals get no care. They curry
themselves by rolling in the burning
sand. After few months of the kill
ing labor the poor creatures become
unfit for service A kindly rifle bali
then ends their agony, and their ema-
ciated carcasses are left alongside the
trial to furnish scant picking for the
lowering vultures.-California Letter.
