Fourteen Trains Each Day.

This is what it means. On and
after March IL, 1899. the Northern
Pacific railway will start two trains
each day flying westward from its east
ern terminals. At the same tine--not
at exactly the same honrs-two trains
will also leave its western terminals tor
the east. There will then be, each day,
moving over the 1900 miles of main
track between st. Paul. Minneapolis
and Duluth at the east, and Seattle.
Tacoma and Portland on the Pacific
coast, fourteen of these trains-in both
directions going at the same time, and
1 this in country where twenty years
ago the buffalo were roaming. These
/ trains will be known as No, (the
Pugent Sound Limited), No. 3 (the
Oregon Limited), going west, and No. 2
(the Twin City MaiD, No. 4 (the Twin
City Exrress), going east. and will
i contain in the aggregate more than 100
cars Of various sorts. Each train will
have a mail car, a baggage and express
car, first and second class coaches, a
free colonist sleeping car, Pullman
tourist sleeping car, a dining car and
one or more Pullman first-class sleeping
cars. SO that everybody and everybody s
pocketbook can be accommodated. The
dining cars are part Of the solid
through trains and no one need there
fore go hungry.
Train No. will leave st. Paul at
8:55.a IN. train No 8 at 10: :45 p. III.
after all trains have arrived from the
east and south, morning and evening
Train No. 2 will leave Portland at
II 80 a. IN. and train No at II D.
M, arriving at St. Paul at p. IN. and
1880 a. M, respectively, in time for all
departing trains eastward. One train
goes via Helena, Mont, and one via
Butte, IN each direction. These trains
run through the most important cities
Of the northwest and are hauled by new
aud enormous Schenectady locomotives,
making. when necessary, seventy-five
or eighty miles an hour.
These diurnal trains will amply ac-
immediate the large immigration and
tourist travel that seems probable this
year.
During the Yellowstone park season
one train in each direction will carry a
Pullman first-class sleeping car, es-
pecially for Park travel.
Inquiries regarding this new train
service may be addressed to any North
ern Pacific agent, or to Chas. S. Fee,

once more, and it was played to the
limit That time black showed. "

A DEADLY CANE.
An Innocent Looking Instrum nj
Which Would Destroy Life.

Anarchists of the physical force
school find it now and again irresistible
to brag Of the powerful things they
have used or are going to use. says'a
writer in The Ludgate 1--WE will sup
pose that some aristocratic person has
been chosen as victim. The exact pat
tern of his favorite walking stick would
be noted as occasion arose and fac
simile of it prepared-that is to say. so
far as mere outward appearances were
concerned.
1.-The interior would really be an in
fernal machine. Inside the hollow of
the stick would be metal flask con.
tanning liquid which could emerge
only from small orifce at the top of
the flask The flask would be imbedded
within substance which would ex-
plode the instant that the liquid re-
ferred to came into contact with it.
''When an opportunity occurred for
the stick to be substituted for it's inno-
cent counterpart the handle would be
unscrewed to slight extent thus allow
ing space for the liquid to flow out.
which it would do when the stick was
held in a horizontal position. Most men
occasionally carry their sticks in this
way. So. when the victim took his sup
posed usual stick from the corner in
which it had been placed upright, he
might walk about with it for long
period without encountering actual
harm. but once let him hold it horizon
tally or twirl it in the air there would
be-well. you can imagine the result.

As defensive weapon the value of
the machete is small Even its offensive
effect depends less on the weapon itself
than on the continual and skillful
usage made of it by the Cuban peasant
from his earlier age, which imparts a
peculiar training to the muscles of the
wrist and arm of the operator. The
consequence of this skill is that when
ever quarrel occurs between two
''guajiros' or "monetros" they settle
the matter with their machetes as cour-
ageously and tenaciously as two game
cocks, and generally both parties are
seriously injured for life or are killed
on the spot
Owing to this fact and to the natu-
raj kindly disposition of the Cuban
peasants they are not quarrelsome
people and respect everybody, to be
equally respected. With the machete a
few curious accessories are used. The
principal are thin strip of leather
closely tied to the right wrist, small
round piece of grinding stone to sharpen
the edge OF the tool, and whenever the
machete is employed to cut down the
thorny heath of tropical vegetation a
small branch Of special shape, called
the 'garabato, is used to bold the
heath and do rapid work without be-
ing injured by thorns. - Island of Cuba
