The coach was being driven up a
steep mountain road, and at one side
the Cliff ran straight down for 100
feet. A youth seated ON the back
seat next to loquacious damsel of
uncertain age was in a state of mis-
cry. The one being he loved most
of all the world was in the front
with his hated rival, and nothing
could dispel lis gloom.
"Oh, Mr.. Foster" Uttered the
young woman next to him, break
ing in upon his meditations, "sup-
pose the coach should upset or |
should fall out, would you try to
save me?"

one, you don't know really what

aroused, "if you doubt me, why,
I'll show you just what"
How can you show mel" she
whispered. "Can you truly give me
some proof?'
Yes, he returned. "All you have
to do is to proceed to tumble out,

An Emperor's Wardrobe.

The EmperorWilliam has 12valets,
whose sole duty it is to take care of
his uniforms and costumes, the
value of which is estimated at $780,
600. The London Globe correspond
ent says that his uniforms of the
German army and navy, including
helmets, caps, shakos, rifles, swords
and sabers, are kept in cupboards.
Next to these come the uniforms OF
the Saxons, Bavarians, Hessians
and others. Separated in other large
cupboards are the Austrian, Rus
sian, Swedish, English and Italian
uniforms, all ready to- accompany
the kaiser ii his journeys or to be
used on the occasion of princely
visits. Finally must be mentioned
his hunting and shooting costumes,
his court dresses, his yachting and
lawn tennis uniforms and his pri-
vate dresses. When the emperor
travels, lis uniforms and costumes
fill two or three carriages. His
majesty is very fond of jewelry and
curios. He wears half a dozen
rings, large watch and chain and
a bracelet on his right arm.

According to William C. Ussery,
NJ. D., of St Louis the banana is the
very best food obtainable for ty-
phoid fever patients. In this disease,
he explains, the lining membrane
of the small intestines becomes in
tensely infamed and engorged.
Eventually it begins sloughing away
in spots, leaving well defined ulcers.
At these places the intestinal walls
become dangerously thin. A solid
food, if taken into the stomach, is
likely to produce perforation Of the
intestines, and dire results will fol-

THE, TALLEST RAILROAD.
It Is In Peru. and Its Building Required
Serious Engineering

It Is In Peru. and Its Building Required
| Serious Engineering.
The Peruvian Central, Transar-
dine or Oroya railroad begins six
feet above tide water at Callao.
From Lima, eight miles ahead and
900 feet higher, it winds up the mar
/ rowing valley of the Ri1nac, past
great haciendas and forgotten ruins
AT Choslca, 33 miles from the sea,
1t has gained but $500 feet in eleva-
ton, but within the yard limits of
that station begins the 4 per cent
grade, which is steadily maintained
for 70 miles. The Rimac's gorge be-
comes deeper and more contracted,
the little bays and benches of cult
vable land rarer. At the hamlet of
San Bartolome serious engineering
begins. The overhanging hillside
on the right displays the first "V''
the characteristic device SO fire.
quently necessary to overcome the
headlong valley.
The maximum gradient allowed
by contract of 211 feet to the mile
has in many places been stretched,
and the actual gradient is sometimes
nearer 5 per cent. But even this
was insufficient to meet the exigen-
cles of the quebrada, whose floor
often greatly exceeds that slope.
The only way to get ahead was to
run back few furlongs or miles at
full grade and then to shoot for
ward on the upper arm of the zig
gag. Some of the "V's" run back
and forth like sloping shelves in
the high walls of the main gorge
some double and twist far up lateral
valleys. Not to confine the matter to
single points, where the road has to
give five miles to gain one, the total
percentage is astonishing. From
Callao to Oroya the length of the
track is 221 1-2 kilometers; of these.
76 1-2 Gone mile in every three) are
consumed in overcoming the rise,
and this besides the unprecedented
maintaining of such a maximum
grade.
Four miles above San Bartolome
and its tropic side valley is the great
bridge of the Aqua de Verrugas, or
water Of warts. This noble canta-
lever, built in New Jersey, has a
length Of 500 feet and height of
260. The old bridge was in it's day
the highest in existence and was
meant to be. To that end the center
pier was sunk in IL foot pit. This
pier was washed out by cloudburst
in 1889, and for year traffic was
maintained by cage swinging on
cables across the gap. The present
structure has been left far behind
as to height by the bridge over the
river Loa, on the 600 mile Antofa-
gasta line in Chile, the longest of
narrow gauge railroads, and, with
its 80 inch track, the tipsiest.
The Aqua de Verrugas is not to be
laughed down as a superstition. OF
the grim reality in these poisonous
