The Greater New York will begil

The Greater New York will begin
business as a municipality, SO to speak,
on January 1, 1898, with municipal
debt in excess of $500, 900, 900, debt
larger than that of any four other
cities of the country. There is 8
general opinion, for which, however,
there is no real warrant, that the debt
of American municipalities is based
upon their population, area, age and
resources; but the fact Is that while
these elements regulate the running
expenses of American cities, the debt
is fixed rather by the form OF govern
ment they have enjoyed or suferS'
from in the past. Boston and st.
Louis are cities of the same size very
nearly (the difference in population
between the two was less than 3, 900
BY the last census), yet the municipal
debt of Boston is three times greater
than that of st. Louis, while, on the
other hand, the tax rate in St Louis
is fifty per cent greater per $1,000 OF
valuation than it is in Boston.

Swapping Horses.

General Horace Porter, in his "Cam-
paipning with Grant" in the Century.
tells the following anecdote OF his
chief during a ride from Petersburg to
City Point:
Owing to the heat and dust, the long
ride was exceedingly uncomfortable.
Ny best horse had been hurt, and l
was mounted on bay cob that had q
trot which necessitated no end OF
s'saddle-pounding" on the part OF the
rider; and if distances are to be meas
ured by the amount of fatigue en-
dured, this exertion added many miles
to the trip. The general was riding
his black pony "Jeff Davis" This
smooth little PAGER shuAied along at .
gait which was too fast for walk and
not fast enough for gallop, so that
all the other horses had to move at a
brisk trot to keep up with him.
When we were about five miles from
headquarters the general said to me in
q joking way: ''You don't look com.
Portable on that horse. Now I feel
about as fresh as when we started
out"
replied: "It makes all the differ.
ence in the world, general, what kind
of horse one rides"
He remarked: ''Oh, all horses are
pretty much alike as far as the comfort
Of their gait is concerned"
"In the present instance" I an.
swered, 'I don't think you would like
to swap with me, general"
He said at once, "Why, yes; I'd
Just as lief swap with you as not;" and
threw himself off his pony and mount.
ed my uncomfortable beast, while ]
put myself astride of "Jeff." The
general had always been a famous
rider, even when caiet at West
Point. When he rode or drove q
strange horse, not many minutes
elapsed before he and the animal
seemed to understand each other per-
fectIy. In my experience have never
seen better rider, OF one who had a
more steady seat, no matter what sort
of horse he rode; but on this occasion
it soon became evident that his body
and that of the animal were not al
ways in touch, and he saw that all the
party were considerably amused at the
Jogging to which he was subjected. In
the meantime "Jeff Davis" was pacing
along with a smoothness which made
me feel as if I were seated in rock.
ing chair. When we reached head
quarters the general dismounted in
manner which showed that he was
pretty stiff from the ride. AS he
touched the ground he turned and
said with a quizzical look, "Well, ]
must acknowledge that animal is pretty
rough"

to Europe from japan. 1t combines
the flavors of the artichoke and tht
asparagus, and is as easily cultivated
as the potato. The French, who are
responsible for its introduction, cal

A Brakeman's Fearful Peril.


The terrible experience of Mike Ma
loney, Cincinnati Southern freight
brakeman, at Highbridge, was not ex.
aggerated by first accounts. Maloney
was running or standing upon the top
of freight car as the train was cross
ing the bridge. When about midway
of the structure his foot slipped, and
he shot over the edge Of the car
and started on his journey Of 2S6 feet
to the river or rocks below. Persons
who witnessed the accident say that
Maloney grabbed wildly in all direc.
tions, but could secure no hold upon
the roof of the car. As luck would
have it, however, he fell to the side
along which the telegraph wires run.
and, Just as his body was about to
clear the bridge, he grabbed tele.
graph wire with death.like grip and
hung there. -,
This saved him from a terrible
death. A number OF persons fastened
to his assistance and found him too
weak to do anything for himself. He
was deadly pale. and big drops OF
sweat stood out all over his face. He
tainted after being removed from his
perilous position, and it was some
time after he reached his home at
Georgetown until he began to recover
from the shook upon his nervous sys-
tenn. It was one Of the closest calls
any man ever had. Maloney will
hereafter cross Highbridge in a ca.
boose. (Ky.) Advocate.

No Healthy Baby Cries.

A favorite assertion of the modern
trained child's nurse is that no healthy
baby cries. If he is well, as he should
be, and properly clothed and looked
after, he will not cry. But on the
other hand. some medical autt critics
assert that crying is the chief and best
exercise for young children, and one
hospital superintendent says that a
healthy baby should cry three or four
times day at least, and from ten to
fifteen minutes at time. This world
would be dull, indeed, if ell mankind
agreed.
