Westinghouse Of Pittsburg. Pa, the
inventor OF the air brake, and principal
owner Of the Electric Company bearing

Co. OF New York as Joint trustee for the
purchaser and seller, and ten days time
allowed for the delivery OF the deeds, at
which time the second payment OF
SIS 900 will be deposited with the
trustee, and thereafter every three
months payments are to be made, which
are to be distributed to the bondholders
OF the Mining Company until the pur-
chasing price is paid.

verdant, But obedient

I'VE see lots OF strange things" said
the talkative hotel clerk. but one of
the strangest that ever happened along
this way came in one day last March
an old man with carpet bag and an
old umbrella who wanted to know il
this was a tavern. | assured him it
was, and he said he guessed he would
hang up with us bit If we didn't
mind. He looked so green and inno-
cent that | congratulated myself that
the house used electricity for lighting
purposes and that there was no gas for
him to blow out.
Il handed him over to bellboy with
instructions to see him safely to his
room and to carefully explain all the
mysteries of modern hotel. 1t wasn't
two hours before a chambermaid sent
down word that the old man was gath
ering up all the fire buckets on the floor
and burning them up in the CRATE in his
room.
Il charged up to his room to find cut
what he meant by such conduct. l
found him in his room calmly smashing
up the buckets by bringing his No. IA
cowhide boots upon them. The buckets
were some that we had placed in the
halls a number of years ago to be used
in case of fire. But as we had lately
placed five hydrants on every floor
with reels of hose at every point, we
had allowed the buckets to go into dis
use.
.''See herei' / yelled as took in the
situation. What in the name of
heaven do you mean by burning up
those buckets?'
why answered the innocent old
codger. as he picked up one of the
buckets. doesn't it say right here on
them, To be used for fire only?'
Il wilted and told him to go ahead.
They were not worth much, anyway,
and / was afraid if l didn't allow him
to go ahead that he might break out at
some other spot that would cost US
more"

He WORKED HIS PASSAGE.
Carlisle MOI wood of Million
aires Row. New York.
Becomes a Stoker.
TELLS HIS EXPERIENCE.
First Days Work Made Him Wish
He Was Quietly Starving on
Shore Temperature at 40.

Stokers Worked Almost Naked In the
Glare of Furnaces Sliding Around
With Fearful Energy Looked Like
Demons But They Had Kind and
Tender Hearts.
Young Carlisle Norwood, one Of New
York's aristocrats relates his expert
ence in working his way from cape
Town TO London i'll the capacity Of
stoker. TO the Journal, as follows:
Il believe it was the hardest expert
ence man ever had. 1t was hades.
/, who had never done a stroke of real
hard work in my life, had To do the
toughest and dfrtiest kind of work
that is known. and had To do 1t in u
temperature of 10 degrees. famed by
air red hot OF the equator.
First il failed TO kill me and then il
made me stronger than l ever was
before. l was never in such tine con-
diti0n. l am as hard as iron and
have magnificent thirst and appetite,
both of which am going TO taKe care
of.
Last year / left New York for South
Africa, believing, as did my family,
that change of air and scene would
be good for me.
l had generous allowance from my
father and was able to travel comfort
ably enough. | went to England and
started Immediately for South Africa.
l travelled through Cape Colony and
then through the Transvaal visiting
the gold and diamond mines. | had
many exciting experiences, in the
course of which / spent all my money.
| returned to Cape Town and there
spent my last cent. | had no credit
and living is very expensive there.
Starvation stared me in the face. An
instalment of my allowance was then
nearly due. but it would be payable in
London and il would take me long
time to get it. considering that |
should have nothing to eat in the
meanwhile. My pride would not let
me ask my father for more money.
Besides, did not feel sure that l
would get it.
| made up my mind that the only
thing to do was to sail for London at
once and get my money there. | sign
ed articles to serve as stoker of the
lowest class. and the next day | was
happy TO sail away from Cape Colony.
My first day in the stokehole made me
wish | was quietly starving on shore.
The temperature down below was
about 120 degrees. The weather was
very hot. and the air driven in by the
fans did us no good.
The stokers worked almost naked in
the glare of the furnace. and blacken-
ed with coal and sweat from head to
foot, sliding around with fearful
energy and growing in hardly compre-
hensible language, they seemed more
like demons than men.
But was soon to find out that there
were kind hearts among those appar-
ent demons.

before | tainted away. ! was carried
up on deck again for a SPELL and as

A hairy demon, with broken nose
and battered face, who was alongside
of me, looked at me with a mixture
of pity and contempt and remarked:

You're a darned good fellow |

We worked four hours at a stretch.

Mahogany as Common In the Philip
pines as Ordinary Lumber Here.
Cuba and the Philippines are des-
tined to cut considerable figure In the
lumber trade as soon as American
methods Of push and enterprise are
adopted. Cuba possesses some OF the
best mahogany and Spanish cedar in
the world, and the Philippine Islands
are covered with mahogany, ebony,
canphor wood and other valuable hard
wood forests. J. q. Hinkle. a practi-
cal furniture maker, recently wrote TO
Charles X. Sigh. OF Spokane, from
Manila, as follows:
There are half dozen hard woods
here that take high polish. They are
somewhat lighter than mahogany IN
appearance. | know the name of only
one, camphor wood. l think the Others

tive names would not enlighteD you in

ance, lumber is high here. The ma
tives work almost for song. but when

1t is just as easy to drift into danger
as to drive into it. The progress is slower
but the end is equally sure. II is the
gradual progress of drifting which blinds
TO the danger. Men and women drift into
ill-health in such a way There is a
little feeling of oppression after eating.
Alter a time II passes away. Some day
it returns and brings another symptom
headache, perhaps. Something is done
to relieve the headache, but nothing To
relieve the cause. So one more victim
goes drifting on to the rocks of disease.
Young women who are teaching or
studying are very apt to become victims
of disease of the stomach. They eat in
judiciously, IN some cases, and in gen
eral the brain is too occupied to allow
the stomach the blood necessary TO carry
on its functions. Hence in time the
organs of digestion and nutrition are
totally deranged. and the young gradu-
ate goes home Q chronic invalid.
The timely use of Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery will avert such con-
dition the faithful use of it in chronic
cases will effect complete cure.
