GREAT MOUNTAIN OF MUD.
Costa Rica's Lending Railway Us En-
gagged In the Lab Dor of WASH
=
- ing 1t Away.

The principal railroad of Costa Rica,
now but III miles long, is just being
extended to reach from San Jose to the
Pacific coast. The general manager Of
the road in speaking of the enterprise
recently said:
There is one place on the road which
has given the engineers great deal
of trouble, and which has cost many
thousands of dollars every year since
the road was built. This place is about
IS miles from Port Limon, and is called
Bluemud. For about 600 feet the track
runs along ledge on the side of a
mountain, with the river Reventa Zon
below. The mountain is composed of
blush clay, which turns into mud
during the rainy season and keeps con-
stantly sliding down on the tracks.
We have to keep a big gang of men
at work day and night cleaning the
road of this blue mud, and when the
=t t'.'1'e, are very heavy traffic has to be
suspended -.Inly-sn much of the
mud Slid down over the roadbed that
we could not run trains there for three
weeks. y
ITO add to the difficulty there is a
lake back of the mountain and the wa
ter from this lake percolates through
the mountain and keeps it constantly
wet. The lake was drained by the en-
gineers, but they discovered that it was
fed by springs, and still the mountain
was kept in wet state and the mud
kept sliding down over the tracks.
At last they obtained what is known
in California as a hydraulic giant, and
which throws very powerful stream
OF water with great force. They rugged
up this hydraulic giant, and when I
left Costa Rica they were actually
washing the mountain away with it
into the river"

WANTED TO FIGHT OLD NICK.
Pat Thought He Was in Fit Con dltfn,,
to Lick His Satanic
Majesty.

Pat Brophy was one of the charac-
ters Of the county some IS years ago,
says the Maysville Ledger. He be-
longed to family of six stalwart
brothers, immigrants from the Emer-
aid Isle, who seemed to have an in
herent love of the, 'tcrathur.''
On one occasion Pat had been To
church, and hadn't forgotten to get Els
jug filled for the week.
Now, among other virtues claimed
by the Brophys was one that they could
whip anything between the river and
the North Fork, and frequent brawls
We're the consequence. D.
On this particular occasion, Pat be-
ing alone, no fisticuffs had come off.
and the blithe son of Erin had nearly
reached his home, when he was seized
with-a desire for wee drop.
The jug was in his sack across his
saddle, and, in dismounting, every
thing went to the ground together.
The CONSERVATION depicted on Pats
countenance at the untoward state of
affairs as the Jug gave way was some
thing to behold, but it was soon super
seeded by one of anger.
Pat couldn't do the subject justice,
butA according to "a gentleman who hap
pened to be near "unbeknownst,n he is

SEVENTY CENTURIES AGO.
Beautiful Testimonials When Egyp-
ttan$ Monarchs Were Laid
Away by the ARctents,

The center of interest for us to-day
in Egypt is the first dynasty time, and
how far advanced in the arts of life
were the men Of that age may be seen
by the beauty Of shape ofthe stone and
ala baster vases that are here to view,
and the exquisite workmanship of a
little toilet nard or eye paint box
carved out of a single block of ivory,
and made in the shape Of a couple of
ducks whose tails are twisted together
to form, as it were, the hinge of the
box. The great gentleman who owned
this was buried with 80 jars of offer
ings in his brick tomb, while 16 stone
vases were near his body. He had as
yellowstone sandstone block for corn
grinding and beautiful shaped taxa
of slate had been apparently placed at
his head, says Atlantic. These among
his vases had lain when Prof. Finder
Petrie and John Garstang brought his
skull bones and his funeral furniture
to the light of day.
But the table in the eenter of the
room--it is to this we turn, for here
are placed contemporary carvings in
wood and ivory, weapons and pieces OF
the royal drinking bowls and furniture
of seven Of the eight kings Of the first
dynasty, and the work of two that pre-
coded Aha-Mena. Here is.a fra GIN ent
of slate bowl that the lips of Zeser

turned the great Nile food, seemed tc
