A Wet Country.

The railroad which with its branches
connects Colombo, the capital Of Cey-
lon, with the interior Of the island, is
remarkable for the engineering skill
shown in its construction and for its
prosperity. It makes on ascent Of 8, 500
feet by a succession Of loops and curves,
with here and there tunnel. The chief
difficulty in running the railroad is due
to the way in which the rain comes
down. A recent book of travel, ga Run
Round the Empire, describes what the
rain did to train crawling up the
mountain side.
On Dec. 81, 1896, 11%inches Of rain
fell in "a hours. The engineer Of a
train saw that beyond certain tunnel
the line was washed away. He stopped
the train, and the passengers got out.
One of them, seeing stones rolling down
the mountainside above them, advised
the engineer to push for the tunnel.
Just as the train entered the tunnel
down came huge mass of rock, which
carried away the embankment as we'll
as the last car of the train-a goods van
fortunately Close behind the tunnel
the ends of the rail were hanging free
over a precipice and similar condition
existed not far ahead.
A messenger came down from a plant
er's bungalow above the tunnel to say
that water was accommodating in the
cutting in front, and that if it broke
through the debris which served as a
dam it would wash the train out Of
the tunnel. The passengers fastened to
leave the cars, and in walking through
the water in the cutting found it up to
their breasts.

Sinecures In Brazil.

"Some time ago." saysa San Paolo
tBrazil paper, "a general was sent to
one of the northern states to Investigate
the management of government rail
road. He belonged to the set Of men
who had made themselves obnoxious by
their endeavors in the service Of reform,
and here are some Of his experiences:
The very first day he found in one OF
the rooms of a railroad station a strong
young man who was doing nothing.
Thinking the young fellow had come
to see him, he asked, DO you wish any
thing, my friend?' No, sir; am en-
ployed here So? What are your du-
ties?' L have to fill the water jugs in
the Office every day
"The general was little astonished.
In the next room he discovered another
ablebodied young man smoking ciga-
rette. Are you an Employed" he asked.
yes, sir; am the assistant Of the gen.
tleman in the next ROOM
"But that was nothing to what was
to come. The general had already been
informed that the road employed 10 en-
gineers, while only eight were working.
He ordered that in future these men
should at least take turn about. The
next day one of these engineers,
beardless youth, came to him and told
him that he could not run locomotive
to save his life. Then how did you get
on the nav roll?' well, you see, gen.
eral, It's this way: My family are poor,
but wanted to study law. We've got
some pull, so I managed to get an ap-
pointment as honorary engineer, to
make living while I pursue my
studies. -

TRAINING A WARHORSE.
low uc Is Taught to Stand the Blaze
Iyaf

Eow Hc Is Taught to Stand the Blaze
and Thunder of Battle.
A warhorse is broken to be steady
under fire by tying ropes to his legs.
While the animal is down on the ground
the officer takes pistol and fires it
close to his ear. Then in rapid order ne
fires the weapon over his back, under
his neck, between his legs, anywhere
that an opening presents itself during
the horses futile struggles. Not until
he sinks back exhausted, all a-tremble
and showing the whites of his eyes, does
the pistol practice cease.
After two or three lessons of this kind
it is considered safe to mount him with
a bride furnished with curb bit. Up
to this time the horse has never felt
curb. The light snaffie is still retained,
and the curb bride is only given gen.
tie pressure at first, just enough to let
him know that it is there. Gradually
the strength of the pull is increased
and with this safeguard the horse Is
taught to stand fire from his riders PTS
tol or carbine.
In carbine practice the horse must be
thoroughly broken, as both hands are
required in using this weapon, whereas
with the pistol the rider may retain the
bride with one hand
Then comes saber practice, and that
is another trial to the horse. Again is
he thrown to the ground, and he proba-
bly, can't understand why he should
have to suffer this indignity all over
again, for he has learned that lesson
very we'll. But when the bright blade
of the saber, with quick thrusts fash
ing before his eyes and cutting the air
in close proximity to his cars, appears
to him he is again terror stricken.
But the lesson he has learned from
the smell of gunpowder stands him in
good stead, and he soon gets over his
fear. And even with man on his back
and another mounted upon a seasoned
horse coming at him with saber raised
in the air or slashing left and right be
knows that it is all part of his educa-
ton and something to be expected. So
he stands his ground or cavorts about
the other horse while the two troopers
indulge in their saber practice

studying the Bible with pretty Ameri-

Of Mrs. B. IS guests.

that now and then a Chinaman fell
hopelessly in love with his teacher and
embarrassed her by presents of live
ducks and other tokens of his affection?
Well, I promised my Washington
