A Verified story.

A group of railroad men in New Or leans were talking about the fastest rides they ever experienced, says the Times Democrat. One man in relating hls experiences said: Across bayous and through marshes we rushed like mad. When we reached the Rigolets, the most remarkable thing | ever saw took place. The train was travelling so fast it sucked the water up behind it as 1t rushed across the trestle, and l could hear the fishes groan as we flew over this neck of the gulf. Most re- markable thing I ever saw in the way of fast runs" And he lapscd into si- lence.
 "I am glad you reminded me of that run" said another member of the group. "I had forgotten the incident. l can vouch for all you say, for was on the back end of the last coach, and the water which was sucked in behind the train by the vacuum almost wash ed me overheard, but held on all right. and when we made the crossing and the waters had receded l picked up on the platform of thc rear coach the finest bunch of fish l ever saw. They were no doubt the fish you heard groaning."

The first accurate description of the nature and ravages of smallpox Is that Of Rhases. an Arabian physician, who iourished in the tenth century and was the author of books on medicine and alchemy.
 This terrible scourge was also de- scrlbed in most of the ancient Chinese and Indian books. In China it was known as the "boan disoasc' and traced back to the times of thc Em poror Kwang Wu, who rcigucd A. D. 25.2S.
 The earliest Chinese treatise on smallpox was published in 1923, and from this it appears that iuoculltion has been known and practiccd in tho far east since the Sung dynasty. A. D. 0GO-1l27.

The Processes of Nature by Which
 They Are Formed.
 Volcanic action has in most cases prl. marlly determined the conhguration of ,be crust of the earth. but the chief agents in the formation Of tortuous val lcys have been streams flowing above ground or below the surface. These naturally take the course of least re- slstance. dlslodging the softcst soil, and thus gradually enlarge their channels and are fanked by rising ground.
 It has been asccrtaincd by well known expert that the scrpeutine course of the valley of the Chcddar gorge is caused by the jointIng in the limestone. The rock, he tells us, is traverscd by two systems of joints, which appear to be vertical or nearly so, iutcrsccting ap- proximately at a right angle. The Joint surfaces form salient and rc-cutrant an- Eles. the former opposite to the latter, SO that if the two sides of the glen were brought together they would seem to lnterlock. Water above or below the surface would soak along these open Joints and widen them into Assures and this movement, sometimes Co the right and sometimes to the lcft would follow zigzag lines. SO that the natural course of the current would by its continuous action excavatc a valley Of this unusual haracter.-London Answers.

swinburne', Estimate Of King Lear.

swinburne'S Estimate of KinE Lear.
 "If nothing were left of Shakespeare but the single tragedy ot King Lear '" wrote Algernon Charles SwInburne in Harper's. "it would still be as plain as it Is now that he was the greatest man that ever lived As poet the author or thls play can only be compared with Eschylus. The Hebrew prophets and the creator of Job are sometimes as sublime in imagination and in passion, but always quite lncomparably inferior in imaginative intelligence.
 That ShaSespeare's judgment was As great and almost as wonderful as his genius has been commonplace of criticism ever since the days of Cole ridge, questionable only by such dirty and dwardsh creatures Of simian intel lect and facetious idiocy as mistake it for e sign Of wit instead of dullness and of distinction instead of degreda' ton to deny the sun in heaven and af- firm the fragrance of a sewer.'

Hindoo Women.

HindOo women are very beautiful, and. Ike most other women, they Ike to set oti their charms by the wearing of Jewels. Those of the rich are often exceedingly valuable, and any amount of them are worn. A HlndoO lady wears a large nose ring. number Of rings in her ears. bangles galore on her wrists and arms. anklets of silver or gold and a ring on every toe. These or nalnents are very becoming Co her dark beauty. and naturally they are a great source of pleasure but unfortunately one which. together with the wearing of colors. Is denied to widows. whose lot is a particularly hard one,
 Anyhow a Hindoo woman has not a particularly cheerful life for as she must never look upon the face of any man but her husband lt is spent entire ly in her hsmc. which, even if she be rich. is not in the least pretty. The rooms are small and dIngy, have bare walls. very little furniture. and their only outlook Is upon the interior court yard. which Is not made bright and pretty. but Is usually without a vestige of tree or flower

When Willard II. F%unkhouser and
three other democrats were elected tc
the school board on "the w~ell-defned
rumors" issue the popocratic organ con.
graduated the city of Omaha upon the
smashing of the machine.
When the supreme court issued its
mandamus for the bull fighter. from
Custer to appoint a new fire and
police board for the city of Omaha there
was great jubilation among the popo-
cratic reformers over the smashing of
the machine.
When Mercer and the Iowa graders
captured the republican primaries, dis.
franchised half of Omaha and all of
South Omaha and installed an out and
out anti-machine county committee il
was proclaimed from the housetops that
the machine was smashed to smither-
Gems and dumped onto the political scrap
heap.
When MERGERS glorious victory over
the machine was followed up by the re-
organization Of the republican city com
mittee without a solitary machine man.
the new machine was pronounced abso-
lutely perfect and in running condition.
And now an alarm has been sounded
for the 'steenth time that the dreadful
machine, with all it's cogs and wheels
knocked out and it's cylinders and gear
Ing full Of holes, is again moving over
the political track and threatens to crush
everything in its way. What an awful
spectacle that smashed machine pre-
sents. Compared with that machine,
Victor Hugo's devil fish is not a circum-
stance. Like a cat, it has nine lives.
Well-defined rumors do not seem to af-
feet its health, it puffs, snorts and re-
wolves without a police commission vote
catcher, and swings its trip hammers
without the county and city committee
fi~y-wheels.
Dreadful machine, what is to be done
to head 1t off? Ring the town bells, call
out the fire department, rally the police
force, let the ''siren' sing it's doleful
dirge, muster the home guards, reuuisi-
ton the governor for two regiments Of
militia, lombard the legislature with
petitions to saw the city from destrnc-
ton by special act which will choke
the breath out of that horrible machine.
invoke congress to dam the Missouri
river and submerge the town for a few
days.
If after all these energetic efforts for
It's suppression the machine still sur
wives, all patriots who f~ervently hope
to secure a seat at the municipal pie
tables may as well give it up and lool,
for other jobs.
