HIS OWN BUSINESS.

eff a man wants to drink whisky,
that is his business" says the saloon
apologist.
Let's see. When Bob Poland and
Coon Parker were drinking in Hefan,
Ala, last Saturday night, and in their
spree ran q car of the Southern rail-
road off the switch and out on the
main track down the grade, until it
stopped on high trestle, it became
the Southern railroads "business.
And when loaded freight train
came along and rushed into the car,
causing a 100000 wreck, destroying
much valuable merchandise, it became
the business of great many mer-
chants and shippers, as we'll as the
railroad.
And when three bodies were dug
out from under the wreck, it became
the business of some wives and or
phans.
And when the taxpayers are called
upon to support the families whose
natural providers have thus been sud
denly taken away, it will become the
business of several other people.
One mans drinking often becomes
the business of several hundreds or
thousands of people, and the man who
cannot perceive this fact ought to be
sent at once to an institution for the
education of the feeble-minded.

DISCOVERY OF LETTERs.-Early in
the Fifteenth century there was an OBJ
scure young man living at Haarlem,
Holland, whose sentimental affection
for an equally obscure girl led to re.
suits which revolutionized the ideas of
the world.
This love struck youth was sacristan,
or sexton, as we should say, of the
Haarlem Cathedral. 1t was his habit
to wander, in dreamy moods, outside
of the city, and to sit beneath the will
lows on the banks of the canals,
musing on the charms of his beloved.
Having some skill in the use of his
knife, he was in the habit of engraving,
in raised letters, the initials of his mis-
tress, blended with his own, not on
the bark of trees, as many foolish
lovers do, but on little blocks cut from
the beech or willow-trees. These
blocks, thus engraved, he used to car
ry to his lady-love as pledges of his
affectionate remembrances.
One day he happened to wrap some
of these letters in a bit of parchment.
The next day on opening the parcel to
look at his work he was astonished to
see the letters perfectly reproduced on
the parchment. The oozing sap from
the green willow or beech block had
made perfect impression of the let
tiers. This discovery pleased him,
though he had no conception of its
vast importance to mankind. He
made other letters on an old wooden
platter, covered them with black
| LIQUID, and obtained the first proof
ever seen by mortal eye. Thus Law
renee Roster, the sacristan, while
dreaming love and marriage, had
stumbled blindly upon the principle OF
the art of printing.-Dr. Wise's Ro'
mantle Realities.

which they made ready for the attack
made us wild with anger and impa-
thence. We could have poured volley
into them at any moment during the
forenoon, but Captain Clark did not
wish to be the first to shed blood,
though he would have been fully justi-
fed in sweeping the decks I believe he
hoped, as I did, that something might
occur to stop the trouble before any one
was laid low. When it. became evident
that they meant to rush, he turned to
us and said:
"Iwant every one of you to shoot to
kill. Do not be satisfied with killing
one man, but kill two or three, if you
can. IF we give them good dose at
the start, it will take the fight out OF
them. Every one to his post. :"
Thirty seconds later the full gang OF
villains, York and johnson leading,
came rushing at US, and the yells they
uttered would have done credit to a war
party. of savages. Eight of them carried
q spare yard to be used as q battering
ram, while the others had axes, oapstan

hit two men, which was not at all un-
likely in such crowd. Some of them
reached the cabin, and one burly, big
ruffian lived long enough to strike one
blow with his ak, but the rapid fire so
astonished them and the slaughter
among them was so appalling that they
broke back like a flock OF frightened
sheep. We kept peppering them until

seen to be sinking. His mind wan
dered at intervals, and, like Stonewall
Jackson, in his last moments, he called
the name of the great lieutenant of
the Third corps, saying, "Tell A. 2.
Hill to prepare for action" his thoughts
reverting to the troublous times when
he was at the head of the army. Be-
tween 9 and 10 o'clock Wednesday
morning, October 12, 1870, surrounded
by his family, the Christian hero
breathed his last. The funeral SER
vices were of the most impressive
character, large crowds attended, and
weeping friends and admirers bore
him to the tomb. Memorial services
were held all over the south and ap.
propriate sermons preached, addresses
made and resolutions passed. The
southern press was filled with glowing
eulogies, the northern press generally
was exceedingly kindly in its tone, and
some of the papers highly eulogistic ;
and the foreign press generally echoed
the sentiment of the London Standard,
which said: ga country which has
given birth to men like him and those
who followed him may look the chiv.
airy of Europe in the face without
shame, for the fatherlands of Sidney
and of Bayard never produced nobler
soldier, gentleman and Christian than
Robert Edward Lee"
On the 2Sth of June, 1883, Valen-
tines marble recumbent figure of Lee,
which decks his grave at Lexington,
and is one of the finest works of art
on this continent, was unveiled in the
presence of large crowd of enthusi-
astic admirers, the address being made
by Senator John W. Daniel of Virginia.
A handsome monument was erected in
New Orleans. But, perhaps, the grand
est occasion of the kind was the un-
yelling of Mercie's Equestrian Statue
of Lee in Richmond on May 20, 1890,
when an immense crowd went in pro-
cession to the spot. Colonel Archer
Anderson made the address, and there
was an enthusiasm rarely equaled,
never excelled, when Lees old soldiers
gathered around and General Joseph
E. johnson pulled the cord which un-
yelled to their eyes the bronze repres-
entation of their idolized commander.
And so he lives in the hearts of his
own people and of the world, and will
be handed down in history as one OF
whom America will ever be proud.

RAILROADING In The ROCKIES.

'It makes me wonder when think
of the'progress that has been made by
the railroads of this country" said
John Hambel, an old locomotive en-
gineer. "It was only few years after
I had been given an engine that I was
running out of Denver. 1t was at the
time that new enterprise had inau-
gurated line across the Divide, and
in consequence there was considerable
work carrying out to the camps the
supplies intended for construction pur-
poses. The line had been carried, af-
ter almost impossible tasks and the
overcoming of obstacles, well over the
crest. of the Rockies, and stringer
bridge had been placed over canyon
several hundred feet deep.
"It was in February, and already
there had been lots of snow. One day
I was sent out with my engine to the
end of the line to bring back lot Of
men, as a storm was beginning, and
work would have to stop for the time
being. When my engine was almost
over the stringer bridge I mentioned,
there came dull crash and rending
of timbers, and the next instant I felt
myself being thrown out of the cab.
When came to myself, I was lying on
the other side of the canyon. The
bridge was gone, and my engine and
fireman nowhere insight-gone down
in the canyon. Well, / managed to
reach the camp, and with the men
started for the bottom of the ravine to
look for engine and fireman, but there
was nothing to be found of either.
Nothing but big hole in the snow.
We sounded, and found that the snow
was over hundred feet deep, having
drifted in by the winds, so we gave up
the quest, feeling that the fireman
must have been killed by the fall.
"The storm lasted three weeks. and
by that time the canyon was brim full.
Work progressed, when it could, until
the following month. One fine day,
just when the snow had begun to melt,
who should walk into the camp but
my old fireman, looking as well as
ever. You can imagine how the boys
were knocked out when he told the
story. Don't you know that he had
gone down in the snow. which acted
as cushion, without injury. The en-
gine fell some distance away from him.
Realizing that he couldn't get out, yet
breathing through the soft particles,
he set to work to get comfortable.
Got his coats from the engine, after
tunnelling, and then found an Indians
cache we'll stocked with dried deer
meat and hard corncakes right where
he had dropped. He roomed in the
cab of the engine. made fires with the
coal, ate the Indians provender, and
when he got tired of 1t all, cut his way
up the side of the canyon, and came
to camp as though nothing had hap
pened. Life in the Rockies those days
was different from what it is now"

How to "Favor" Tired Feet.

For those who must stand on their

the feet have tendency to swell, much
relief will be found by using cushions
in front of the table where they stand.
These may be made with several thick
nesses of old cloth, bagging, carpet lin
ing or horse blanket, stitched together
and covered with old carpet or drugget,
the edges turned in and overhanded, and

How to Iron Napkins without Starch.

In France, instead Of using starch on
table napkins, after they are washed and
dried and ready to be ironed, they are
dipped in boiling water and partially
wrung out between clothes. They are
rapidly ironed with as hot fiat iron as
possible without burning them. They
will be beautifully stiff and glossy.
