Race for Lilo In a Tunnel.

The story of an unhappy bridegroom,
whose hair grew white in a single
morning, and that the morning of his
marriage, is reported from Zigrad In
Hungary.
Mitru Popa, born in Teregova, son
Of a small farmer, and afianced to a
daughter Of prosperous citizen OF IL
grad, recently started for Zigrad, there
to wed and bring home his bride. The
place can be reached in two hours by
the mountain road. There was, how
ever. a short cut; it led through the
railway tunnel with single line Of
rail. Popa laid ear to the ground and
listened. AS there was not the slight
est vibration, he took courage and
ventured into the dark passage. Here.
the report soes on, he had been stumb-
ling along as best he could, when,
after ten minutes 22ssed in the total
darkness, and being, as he Judged,
near the center of the tunnel, he heard
the distant rumbling of an approach
ing train.
The noise grew louder behind him
and Popa ran; louder still, and Popa
raced. It was a via dolorosa, with
the small point of daylight far of
amid the darkness, and II ne could WIN
it then it meant life, safety and bride,
but the thunder Of the train grew
ever nearer. Fortunately the gradient
was a steep one, and the express was
called express by courtesy only, and
the race between the man and death
terminated at the tunnels outlet, the
man winning by about his own
length.
The mercifully sluggish "schnell-
Eug" passed into the daylight as the
bridegroom fell PROSTATE on the bank.
When he had started he had dark
brown hair; when he arrived at the
brides house it was as white as the
brides veil. The lady, however. ac-
cepted him on the somewhat dubious
grounds that the hair would come all
right in time, and that the injury was
covered by insurance.

utes IA Call for Girl Students.

utes IA Call for Girl students.
The young ladies of the normal
school in Winona were lately thrown
into a furry of excitement, says the St
Paul (Aiinn.) Dispatch. They were
called into one OF the recitation-rooms
and put through q rigid examination
about the number of callers each had
and description of each caller. They
were told that it was highly improper
to receive q caller from out of the city,
and that many of the young men of the
city were not proper persons with
whom to associate.
1t was also considered highly i'm
proper to receive call which was Of
more than 20 minutes duration. In all
over a dozen questions were required t6
be answered, all of which were in regard
to the subject of gentlemen callers.
A number of rules were given to the
young ladies, which they were told they
must obey. Among them was one for
bidding the same young men to call
upon them more than three times q
year, and then the call must be purely
formal and not exceed IS or 20 minutes.
The young ladies were also requested
to furnish q list of their callers and
their characters, and as to the general
subjects of conversation when calling
or riding, and if the landlady where
they boarded approved of the young
men.
Some of the young ladies are indig-
nant, and say they will not submit to
such rules, while others believe they are
all right, and propose to follow them.

IN THE NATURAL GAS DISTRICT,
A Very Unattractive Place Where
Many Accidents Occur

A Very Unattractive Place Where
Many Accidents Occur.
Passing through a gas-belt one will
see near the roadside, in a farm lot,
ud-bespattered, weather beaten der
rick, with the apparently rickety ac-
compartment of crude appliances made
familiar years ago in the oil regions
q small reversing engine, q rusty loco
motive boiler, usually without q stack
and leaking at every seam; the pom
derous wooden walking beam slowly
oscillating night and day, stopping only
to give place to the use of the bull wheel
when the drill is raised and the sand
pump is lowered, or newly dressed bit
is put in service. Crude as the rig and
all Its details may seem at first glance,
every part is soon seen to have its use,
and the journey OF the bit from the
surface 10 the unknown, and perhaps
barren, depths, is always accompanied
by interesting and ever-varying devel-
opments. says Cassier's Magazine.
At night the measured beat and clat-
ter of the rig in the dim light of few
Pickering torches of gas, piped from
some neighboring we'll; the trembling
derrick, its lofty top lost in the dark
ness; the driller carefully manipulate
ing the temper screw after each stroke,
controlling the bit at the end of a rope
perhaps half mile below the surface,
all form q weird sight Accidents are
frequent, and the slightst carelessness
may result in dropping the tools, the
recovery of which requires patience
and often great ingenuity.

cAN BE CUT LIKE CHEESE.
Chis Is the Nature Gf the Building stone
Used i'm Bermuda.

Nature has made It easy to build
houses in Bermuda The entire group
Of islands is made up of coral rock,
so that every man can have a quarry
IN his back yard if he cares to dig
deep enough. This stone when first
cut is soft and white, 80 that 1t ''cuts
ike cheese" like the wood of the
famous "one-hoss shay and can be
got out in square blocks with an ordi-
nary handsaw. On exposure to the
air, however, it soon becomes dark and
hard enough to break the teeth out OF
he saw that cuts It so easily from its
bed
AS there is no lumber in Bermuda
except that which is brought from
Canada at considerable expense, stone
Is used for nearly the entire house.
The walls are laid of blocks about
eight inches by six, and two feet in
length. Window sills and door jambs
are also sawed out Of stone in the prop
or shape, and even the roof is covered
with stone shingles. which are made
by simply setting a block OF soft, fresh
stone on edge and saving 1t into thin
slabs. Both roof AID walls have to be
kept whitewashed, or the stone would
crumble away, hard as 1t finally be-
comes; but with this precaution 1t
lasts a long time. There is an old
coral-stone house on Harrington
Sound which is considerably over two
hundred years old.
Coral islands are formed by the
coral pOlyps, or insects, which build
up reefs to about the level of the sea
ard then die. On the rough surface
Of these reefs seaweed clings. The
wind and the waves work together to
grind up their substance and pile 1t
in heaps of sand, which finally solidi-
fes into the rock which can be cut SO
easily.
The freshly broken stone makes ad-
mirable road material. Even the rub
Der tire of bicycle will crush piece
of it fiat, and the rain soon solidifles
ii in that shape, so that the whole
roadbed, new stono and old together,
becomes like a sr,ooth track cut in
solid rock-Philadslp slphia Times.

A FIGHTING DIET.
Such Is Said to BE That of the yege-
tartan.


/ regret to say that vegetarianism is
q fighting diet, writes G.. B. Shaw in the
London Vegetarian. Ninety-nine per
cent. of the worlds fighting has been
done on farinaceous food. In Trafalgar
square l found it impossible to run
away as fast as the meat eaters did.
Panic is carnivorous speciality. If the
army were fed ON a hardy, healthy,
ficshless diet we should hear no more Of
the disgust of our colored troops and of
the Afridis and Fuzzywuzzies at the
cowardice of Tommy Atkins. I am my
self congenitally timid, but as vege-
tartan I can generally conceal my
tremors; whereas in my unregenerate
days, when 1 ate my fellow-creatures, J.
was as patient coward as Peter the
Great. The recent spread of fire-eating
fiction and lingo war worship-a sort
of thing that only interests the pusil-
lanimous-is due TO the spread of meat
eating. Compare the Tipperary peasant
to the potatoes-and-buttermill days
with the modern gentleman who gorges
himself with murdered COW. The Tip
perary man never read bloody-minded
novels or cheered patriotic music hall
tableaus, but he fought recklessly and
wantonly. Your carnivorous gentle
man is afraid of everything-including
doctors, dogs, disease, death and truth

DANGERS to Life in India.

India is the only country that makes
deaths by the attacks Of serpents and
wild beasts a feature of its annual sta
tistics. That 1t has good reason for
doing so is shown by the impressive
figures of last years mortality, ,13S
deaths from snake bites and POI peo-
pie killed by tigers and other wild ami
mails. Although India is one of the
most densely populated countries on
the globe, the increase of human in
habitants does not have the effect OF
decreasing the number of wild beasts,
as IL does elsewhere, because the re-
ligion of the natives-or a great pro-
portion of them-forbids them to take
the life, even of dangerous beasts and
serpents; hence they let these destroy
ers thrive and multiply in the midst
Of their communities. One OF the
best works of the British in India is
their reduction of the number OF wild
beasts, and especially tigers, as re-
suit of their passion for hunting big
game.-Philadelphia Ledger.

ANCIENT GLOVES.
Made of Chicken Skin and Worn mt
Night I'm the Sixteenth Century,


Night In the Sixteenth Century.
The wearing of gloves is a more an
cient custom than 1t is generally
thought to be. Homer speaks of gloves
and tells of one who wore them to pro-
tect his hands while working in his gar
den, says the New York Tribune. The
use of some coverings for the hands
was known to the ancient Persians and
Old Testament writer's also mention
them. They were in such common use
among the Romans that they were worn
even in the wild country by the Britons.
ST. Anne, the mother of the Virgin
Mary, was, it has been said, a knitter
and manufacturer of gloves, for which
reason the glove-makers of France long
ago made her their patron saint. AT
one time gloves had a certain meaning
attached to them, and were chosen to
show the character or occupation of tho
wearer. There are records of gloves
being ordered for grave and spiritual
men" About this time, the sixteenth
century, gloves made of chickens skins
were used by both men and women for
whitening the hands and were worn at
