How a Mountaineer Convinced a Traveller

At rare intervals along the mountain
roads of West Virginia and Kentucky
the traveller may come upon black
smith shop, but he is much safer in the
shoeing of his horse if he will carry
few nails and tools in the bottom of his
buggy. On trip by Pound Gap ON one
occasion found blacksmith shop at
the forks of the road and as usual,
half dozen or more men sitting around
it in the shade My turnout needed
some repairs, and as the smith was pot
tering about it inside made talk with
the men outside One of them wanted
to sell me mule which he had hung
up on the fence, and started in for

perhaps quarter of an hour the smith
asked me to step inside and show him
something about the work he was do.

A very curious man engine is employ
ed at mine in Cornwall, England, a
mine which is 1900 feet deep.
This engine has been constructed for
lifting the miners and lowering them
to their work, which is at depth OF
l,400 feet. 1t has two parallel vertical
rods provided with stages or platforms,
which are reciprocated past each other,
the stages being two fathoms apart
Each rod receives motion through the
same distance.
A man stepping on to lower plat
form is raised by the lifting of the rod,
which brings him to the level Of the
next on the other rod, which is then at
its lowest position.
On to this he steps So he continues
stepping from one to another, rising IL
feet between each step. The platforms
are opposite to each other at the dead
points of the engine crank, and slight
pause is made while the miners step of
and on. Thus strings Of men can ascend
with the slight labor of stepping from
one platform to another.

get tne.l Ia 30 away?
Fer hu best Of reasons, since this arid
nook AZ tAo kills gives them a better
living than their brother Indians get on
eke most fc-,Ile reservation in the state.
Their very name explains it all, for they
are known as the Hot Springs Indians.
Yes, out Of the rocky hillside gushes a
hot sulphur spring, which flows, as it
has flowed for hundreds of years,
through a narrow ravine, ON the banks
of which their little mud village is built.
The water is so hot as it pours forth
and flows down the gulch that it will
blister the hand if thrust into it, and it
is SO highly charged with sulphur and
other medicinal elements that it has a
reputation second to none in the country
for the cure of rheumatism and like
complaints And so, having perceived
the virtues of this wonderful spring
many years ago and knowing from the
traditions of their ancestors that its wa
tiers have cured many afflicted people,
the present Indians have erected rude
lighthouses, which they furnished with
wooden tubs and which they rent out to
patients who come from far and near.
That is why it has been said that they
live in, or rather by, hot water for their
lighthouses yield them fine annual in

harm that came to them through the
necessary appropriation of their lands
and are treating them according to the
precepts of the golden rule. There are
now and then exceptions which cannot
be avoided, for the present generation
of red men will cling to their savagery,
and selfish white men are always to be

tients, and when these are all filled they
quarter upon each other and give up
their own dwellings to the sick ones.
They do not do this from any inclina-
ton of hospitality, however, but charge
"four bits, +" or 80 cents, for a lodging
and "two bits" or 20 cents, for each
meal, the latter being furnished in a
small board shanty run by an enterpris-
ing red man.

that the whole business is in the hands

The whole community shares in the
benefits derived from the spring, and the
receipts are equally divided. And these
receipts are not small by any means,
for, though they charge only 1.-TWO bits
for bath, yet they have many visitors
and the tubs are kept filled from morn

people rent huts and set up housekeep
