A Locomotive Is Almost as Carefully
Groomed as & Race Horse.
Running the Fast Express is the
title of an article by George Ethelbert
Walsh in St.. Nicholas. Mr. Walsh
says;
The engineer comes down to his post
Of duty nearly an hour before his train
is scheduled to leave. All night long
in tho round-house the engine has been
carefully watched; a wiper has spent
the whole night rubbing down the pant
ing, snorting iron horse, until every ros7
and cylinder shines like gold or silver;
the banked fire has been kept going,
SO that little steam has been always
s IN the boxes; and before he left at night
the fireman put every thing in perfect
order inside.thc cab. The fireman ap-
pears first in the morning and inspects
the work of the round-house men; and
II any part not satisfactory, he makes
1T SO. The engineer makes his inspcc-
ton after the fireman, and thoroughly
and carefully examines every part. All
the bearings are them oiled, and the oil.
cups are filed with oil. Next, the en-
CINE is run out Of the round-house
and tested. Fifteen minutes before
the time to start, the engine is coupled
to the train, and the steam and air
brakes are tested.
No race-horse was ever brought to
his post better fitted for running the
course than is the locomotive Of the
fast express. In addition to the tests
already made, a mechanic goes from,
wheel to wheel and upon every one
strikes q sharp, resounding blow, to
ascertain If the wheel, and axle are
sound. Nuts and bolts are examined.
The engineer and fireman are held re-
sponsib1e for the perfect condition OF
the engine and cars before the start
is made, < 49, 81

TITLED LADIES AS FARMERS.
The Sisters of English Peers Who
Are Engaged in Raising
Ponies and Cattle. 81

Lady Dorot heaa ind Lady Estella Hope
are demonstrating that peers sisters
can be successful in the practical bust
ness me- of pony and cattle breeding. Their
farm is at Eienbridge, near Lond on,
Where they work away regardless Of the
fac that they have no chaperon to
guard them, says an exchange.
ga We Started with one pony" said
Lad Dorothea Hope, land showed him
successfully, and so we went on. OF
course, we bought largely from Lord
Londonderry stud farms in the north;
although our first pony did not come
from#him, as a,matter& of fact. We only
go in for Shelties, not at all for Gallo
ways, and we only breed show ponies,
and znot-as does Lord londonderry
pit ponies, although, Of course, we sell
to all buyers: We are very successful
with our ponies, and we. take the great
est possible pleasure in breeding and
showing them. It is very nice, if one is
fond of the country, being able to live
the greater part of the year there, al
though like being in town, too.
AT Edenbridge we have also small
herd OF Jersey cows, which we have
shown rather successfully. Atone time
we went in fer fox terriers But the
fashion in these dogs changes so rapid
~ that we found we could not quite
Keep up with it. So, as we only like to
have the very best, we gave the dogs up.
We take great pleasure in our farming
and are very proud of it, and glad that
people should know how successfully
we have proved that. ladies can make
this sort of thing pay-if they have a

Kills Venomous Black Snake for
g Small Reward.
A road party, comprising the usual
gang Of Kafirs, with q white man as SUI
perintendent, was employed on the con-
struetion OF q road in the Tugela val
ley, Natal, about 30 or more years ago.
In the course Of their work they came
on huge stone which twas necessary
ito remove, but beneath it was the home
Of large black 1namba, well known to
the neighboring inhabitants as being
old, and therefore very venomous. The
nlamba is the most deadly Of the South
African snakes, and the superintend-
lent anticipated some trouble over that
rock. He offered a bride for the snakes
skin, and the gang vowed and sat
down to ''bema gwi'' (take snuff. But
"a slim youth sauntered forward and
anlid the jeers and protestations of the
rest declared himself equal to the task
He took from his neck what looked like
a bit Of shriveled stick, chewed it, swal-
lowed some of it, sspat out the rest on
! lis hands and proceeded to rus his glis-
tening brown body and limbs all over.
Then taking up his stick and chanting
a song of defiance, he advanced to the
bowlder. There he reused the mamba,
who in great fury at being disturbed bit
him in the lip with great venom. The
boy took no notice of the bite, but broke
the snakes back with his stick, and,
bringing him to his master, asked for
. the reward, obtaining which, he went
back to his work, and the bite Of the rep
tile had no effect on him whatever.
No bribe, not even that of a cow (bet-
ter than any gold in the eyes of a KAT
fir), would induce the native,to disclo-,
the nsecret of his antidote, which he
said had been handed down in his fam
lily for generations. The snake was
very long one and so old that it had a
name. 1t is a well-known fact that GER
tain of the Zulus have antidotes for the
more deadly snake poisons, which they
preserve as secret within their own
families.

scording to the New & ork Sun, received

sscription Of the way in which justice
is melted out in the Chilkat pass re-

This is a bad country fora thief.
There were two chaps just tried here
for stealing an outfit from a man on
top Of the summit. They were caught
in the act and brought back to Sleeps
Head, and tried and sentenced4t be
hanged. The younger Of the two, by
the name Of Wellington, put a gun to
his head and finished himself. The
other fellow, named Hanson, wasNtied
10 a tree, all his clothing taken of,
and then dashed with two big ropes
fastened to stick. The man who in
licted the punishment was supposed to
he the ablest man in the camp. | was
CLOSE to the affair; so close, in fact,
that had to hold my face back to
keep clear of the ropes while he, was
swinging them. 1t was a Shard-look-
ing sight. After they had done this,
they painted him with the words Thief.
Pass him along,' and then started him
down the trail,
"He had been examined by a doctor
before the punishment, and they
whipped him until the doctor signalled
for them to stop. In almost every
place the ropes struck him they drew
blood. When man is caught stealing
up here they call a miners meeting,
and, whatever they agree to do they
carry it; out.'' s H 49,.
