A QUEER COACH ROAD.


Passengers Pay Their Fare and
Work Their Way an Well.
In the old days Of canal voyaging
captains of boats were not infrequently
asked to give a wayfarer a lift. The
man was asked II he was willing to
work his passage. If he said Yes" he
was put to work driving the horses. In
Europe. it seems, a similar custom is
practiced on paying coach passengers.
In the Pyrenees there is a coach road
between two villages, one on each side
Of a mountain 10000 feet high. After
the coach has proceeded a little dis
tance and reached the steep part Of the
ascent the conductor begs the passen-
gers TO get out so as 10 ease the horses.
They are even requested a push be
hind and help the poor animals to drag
the huge vehicle uphill.
When at last the summit is reached
the traveller wiping from his forehead
drops of sweat as big as kidney beans
congratulates himself on the breezy
ride down the steep slopes of the de
scent which awaits him.
There is where he makes n mistake
for the conductor, with sweet smile
begs the gentlemen to be kind enough
to hang on TO the coach behind and act
the part OF a Westinghouse air brake
or else the horses may be injured.
In this manner the terminus OF the
line is reached, the passengers having
pushed the coach all the way up on,
side Of the mountain and held it bacl
all the way down the other.
In spite of this there is n rush FOL
places on the coach daily, as there hai
been for half century.-Spare Mo

There Are Several Species OF These
Radiant Tropical Birds.
There are about seven species Of
hamingoes inhabiting the tropical parts
OF both hemispheres. three Of which
are in America, frequenting the BAHIA
mas, Florida and Cuba. In height the
bird averages about five feet, and II its
curved neck were stretched TO its full
length il would tower above the head
of an ordinary man. Flnmingoes breed
In May and June. At this period their
bright colored plumage is faded. 1t as
