DOWN A MOUNTAIN SHOOT.
The Fastest Time That Was Ever
Made In the Saddle.

II once took an Involuntary hair rails
ing ride, " said a western man. "It was
In Colorado a number of years ago. |
was in the lumber business at the time
and had Sawnill in u valley at the foot
of an enormous mountain spur, covered
with pine The place where the best tim
Ter was cut was perhaps n mile away,
and to save roundabout hauling we built
what we called log shoots. They were
simply V shaped troughS, as near straight
as possible, running down the mountain
side to the mllyard
"Whcn n tree was follcd, it was trimmed
up. dumped into the nearest shoot and
went down like 10 inch she'll. In the
course of time the friction wore all the
troughS as smooth as glass and also drove
them into the ground, so they were mostly
flush with the surface. One winter day l
was out inspecting, riding n tough mus
tang pony, and concluded to visit tract
that had been worked over and abandon
ed. The ground was thickly covered with
snow, and the pony was cautiously pick
ing his way when suddenly he lurched
forward and fell l stuck in the saddle,
and the next thing knew we were whiz-
Zing through space like rocket
"You see, he had accidentally stepped
into an abandoned log shoot, and as his
legs were doubled under his body it was
impossible for him to get out, but l dis
covered all that afterward. 1t happened
so quickly l had no time to think, and all
remember of the ride is that swift swoop
of perhaps five seconds and then sail
through the air. Some obstruction had
jolted me off and lit in a snow bank 30
feet away The horse, poor brute, was
carried on about a quarter of mile to a
break in the trough and dashed against a
pile of powders dead rs n doornail. l
was comparatively unhurt but so stunned
and shaken up that it took me several
hours to crawl back to the mill The dis
tance actually travcrscd in the shoot was
about 800 yards, and am prepared to bet
it was the fastest time ever made in the
saddle New Orleans Times-Democrat.

nUNeY FOR CHILDREN.
Better Than Butter and Natures Cure
For the Candy Habit.

II would be greatly for the health of the
present generation if honey could at least
be partially restored to its former place as
q common article of diet, says What to
Eat.
In many cases it may be matter of real
economy to lessen the butter bill by let
ting honey in part take its place. A
pound of honey will go about as far as a
pound of butter, but ii both articles he of
the best quality honey will cost the less of
the two. Often prime article of extract
ed honey equal TO comb honey in every
respect except appearance can be obtained
for half the price of butter or less.
We all know how children long for
candy. This longing voices a need and is
another evidence of the necessity of sugar
in our diet.
Children should have all the honey at
each mealtimc that they will eat. 1t is
safer and will largely do away with the
inordinate longing for candy and other
sweets.
At the present day honey is placed on
the market in two forms-in the comb and
extracted Strained" honey, obtained
by mashing or melting combs containing
bees, pollen and honey, has rightly gone
out of use. Extracted honey is simply
honey thrown out of the comb in a ma
chine called honey extractor
The silly stories seen from time to time
in the papers about artificial combs being
filled with glucose and deity sealed over
with hot iron have not the slightest
foundation in fact. For years there has
been a standing offer by one whose flnan-
cial standing is unqucstioned Of 81 900 foI
a single pound of comb honey made with.
out the intervention of the bees. The Offer
remains untaken and will probably always
remain so, for the highest art of man can
never compass such delicate workmanship
as the skill OF the bee accomplishcs.

DANCER Of Piano Practice.

Dr. Waetzold, says lie journal d'Hy-
giene, thinks that the chloroscs and neu-
roses from which so many young girls
suffer may be largely attributed to the
abuse of the piano 1t is necessary, says
the author, to abandon the deadly habit Of
compelling young girls to hammer on the
Keyboard before they are 10 or 16 years Of
age. Even ut this age the exercise should
be permitted only to those who are really
talonted and are possessed of a robust
temperament
DIR. Waetzold shows that out of 1000
young girls studying the piano before the
age of II years 600 were afflicted with
nervous troubles later ON, while the num-
ber having affections Of this kind was only
200 for those who commenced the study OF
the piano at later age, and only 10C
were affected among those who had never
touched this instrument. The study OF
the violin produces even more disastrous
results than those attributed to the piano

Her Iden of Worth.

A Canadian minister had just married
a couple The registers were signed, and
nothing remained but the giving and tax
ing of the fee The bridegroom, a strap
ping young fellow, asked, ''How much is
it?'
The parson glanced at the smiling bride
and slyly answered, Whatever you think
it's worth "
Now, it should have been worth good
deal, for the girl was young and pretty.
81 reckon it's worth about 80 cents" said
the swain, holding out two quarters.
The Clergyman looked blankly at the
coins, then turned to the fair one. "I'n
leave it to you, madam" he said. "What
do you think it's WORTH"
What did this young and blushing bride
do? She reached out, took the coins, hand
ed one quarter to the minister and put the
other into her pocket.

Hare hunting is undoubtedly n more
antique sport than the chase of the fox
Xenophon pursued it with delight in an
cicnt Greece and in Britain the hare was
for centuries looked upon as a far more
worthy quarry than the fox, which, until
the time of Queen Elizabeth and even
later, was regarded as mere vermin.
Nicholas Cox, author of 1.-THE Gentleman
Recreation, u work on sport, published
in 1877, writes thus enthusiastically: "As
Of all chases the hare makes the greatest
pastme, so it is great delight and salts
faction to see the craft Of this little poor
beast in her own self preservation. And
it is TO be admitted that in those shifts
and expedients which afford to lovers Of
hounds the true delights of hunting the
timid hare is at least as fertile as any
known beast Of chase in any part of the
