That scheme for state railroad to
run from its northern boundary to the
Gulf is again being agitated in Texas.
Some of the talk is wild, but lots of it
is quite sensible, maintains the New
England Homestead. If New York
state can build and operate the Erie
canal, finally making it free and ap-
propriating an extra 50, 900, 600 for its
improvement, why may not the En-
pire state of the great Southwest have
state railway. The purpose of both
enterprises is regulation of freight
rates. If the Texas scheme should
work as well in this prospect as the
Erie canal has done, it would be more
than vindicated.

wooing and Wedding In Alaska.

Wooing and wedding in Alaska
among the natives are interesting and
peculiar rites. When o young man is
of suitable age to marry, his mother,
his aunt or his sister looks up wife
for him. He seldom marries woman
younger than himself; she is much old
er, and sometimes is double his Age,
and even more. She is selected from
. family whose position equals his, or
is even higher. When q suitable wo.
man is found the young man is asked
how many blankets and animal skins
he is willing to pay for her. When
that important question is settled, Q
feast is arranged in the home of the
bride ind the friends Of both families
are invited. When the company is as
sembled the woman's people extol the
greatness Of their family. The young
mans marriage gifts are spread ont
where they will make fine show, and
then his family sound their praises.
The ceremony lasts from one to two
days, and finally the young man takes
his wife to his own abode.

The Indian mail brings remark
able detective story. The detective
was a professor Hankin. 1t was the
cholera microbe he was after. Thirteen
people had sat at mess in Saugor.
Nine of them got sick. Three had
cholera. One died. The, mierobe
was detected in n waterproof in the
kitchen. But the supply from which
that pot was filed was pure. The
dish cloth, however turned out to have
been dried on an infected sand bank.
Conveyed into the kitchen, the microbe
had not only got into the water-pot,
but into chocolate pudding. There
it yielded 1000 million cholera mi
crobes in eighteen hours. Chocolate
pudding has been off at Saugor since.

A Mercurial Monarch.

To those who are accustomed to
look upon Oriental potentates and dig
nitaries as the approximation Of re-
pose and decorous gravity, most OF
them being so impassive that it is per-
fectly impossible to interpret their
feelings, the King Of Siam is a perfect
revelation, says q correspondent. He
is literally bubbling over with enthus-
iasm, excitement, curiosity and de-
light and impresses everybody that
has met him since his arrival in Eu-
rope as being the jolliest little fellow
imaginable. He is always smiling
when he is not laughing outright,
never bows without a smile of such
broadness that it is almost full
fedged grin, and dashes off his hat
with such a grand and vehement ges-
ture that he almost knocks over the
people nearest him. He can do moth
ing calmly, and managed, by his an
tics, to keep the somber and unhappy
looking King Humbert in altogether
abnormally good spirits throughout his
entire stay at Rome. He made per-
feet show of himself at the capitol.
He ran from statue to statue, looking
at them all round, in front, at the back
and even underneath. When he saw
the capitol Venus his enthusiasm knew
no bounds, and he actually jumped,
shouted and slapped his thighs with
admiration. In fact, he is SO lively
that the stately biased officials Of the
various courts Of Europe, where he is
visiting. are in a great state Of pertur-
baton. He has already been nick
named king Quicksilver" owing to
the rapidity with which he does every
thing, even his speaking Of the Eng
lish language.

Desperate Ride OF a wheclman,

Only desperate necessity could urge
q wheelman to take such chances as
were faced one day recently by Joseph
E. Everett Of Brick Church, N. j.
Mr.. Everett is a lawyer, and having a
most important engagement in neigh.
boring town, determined to take the
morning train to the place in question.
He miscalculated the time, and did
not discover his error until warned by
the train whistle. He is elderly, but
is an expert wheelman, and, jumping
into the saddle, he dashed off TO the
depot. Just as the train started per-
sons on the platform saw him riding
with head down and feet moving like
piston rods down Harrison street to
the railroad. At the crossing the cy.
clist turned on to the gravel track be-
tween the rails and scorohed down the
road after the fsst-receding train. As
the last car passed Evergreen place,
moving at speed which would have
caused an experienced train jumper to
hesitate, the cyclist rode abreast Of
the rear platform. Still pedaling with
one foot and grasping the bar with
one hand, the scorcher reached over
and clutched the railing ON the plat
form. With quick movement he
swung himself clear of the saddle,
drawing his wheel after him by twin
ing his other foot around the frame,
and landed safely on the steps Of the
car The feat was witnessed by at
least twenty persons, and all agreed
that it had beat the record for any
trick riding any Of them had ever
seen. Washington Star.

One of the most promising fields in
the world for the motor car is West.
ern Australia. There are thousands
of miles of fiat country, and into this
auriferous region English capital is
flowing in big blocks. The Western
Australian government is borrowing
all the money it can to open up this
region, and for many years to come
there will be great deal of activity
here in connection with property that
has to be carried long distances. The
camel is the beast of burden now, but
the bicycle is beginning to drive him
out. Miners find that they can pack
fair sized loads on the wheels and get
over the country rapidly. A local
syndicate has been formed in Mel
bourne to manufacture motor cars,
and it is expected that this means of
conveyance will force out all others.

pickle. The size most in demand is
three inches in length. The more
promptly we pick the three-inch size
the more pickles the area will furnish
and therefore the greater the returns
and profits. An experienced grower
says in Michigan Farmer:
''The larger the number grown on
q given territory the more profit, hence
they should be picked very close. The
bulk of the crop should be of the
smallest or medium size. Those over.
looked can be utilized, but the fewer
the better, and none must be allowed
to mature. Care must be taken to dis.
turb the vines as little as possible; in
this regard children with their bare
feet are preferable to grown people
and our experience leads us to believe
that children can, quite as easily as
grown-ups, be taught to pick them
clean"

faro is" Here he stumbled and did
not finish his sentence.
"But Joe, You didn't como home
last Sunday, either, and I git 90 lone
some all alone" and the woman began
to cry. BY this time the two were up
near the tug.
''Oh, come, now, Mrs. Shepherd,
Julia dear, guess you'd better 60 back,
you'll be hinderin' proper navigation
on the canal here"
"Idont care. I won't 90 back, not
now anyway. II you're goin' off I'm
goin' to see you a u,i.ut," and she
fastened resolutely to Jes's arm with
one hand, and wiped her eyes with
the other. Joe was embarrassed and
conscience -smitten. And IL was an
ordeal to appear like this before the
men, some Of whom did not even
know he was married. While the pro.
visions were being put aboard and the
last stragglers collected, Joe sat near
by on stick Of timber, with his wife
holding to his arm. When all was
ready the captain yelled "sll aboard"
and blew the whistle. Joe rose to 60.
"Give me kiss, Joe, please" said
his wife, and he hesitatingly and awk-
wardly kissed her. Then he stepped
on the tug and the woman was alene
by the canal.
Joe was SOLDERING up fast, but he
talked with nobody and during the
run back to the dredge stood by him
self on the bow and let the cool breeze
clear the cobwebs from his brain.
That night the dredge started up again
with Joe running. For several hours
he scarcely spoke, but toward
midnight he turned to the inspector,
who stood near. 'Mr. Hunter, a man
who gets drunk is fool, amt he?"
he asked, half in question, half in
meditation. "Yss," answered the in
spector tersely. "Then I'll quit it,"
said Joe, and he kept his word.
