pENvER's FIRST STAGE.
Uslpomed by the Early Miners with
an Enthusiasts and Noisy
Celebration.

On the 18th of May, 1859, Don.
ger turned out to welcome the
airKa through coach of what was
destined to grow into the "Over-
land Mail" an enterprise, says
Outing Magazine, which for sheer
American pluck and daring must
Be forever linked with the fame
Of the ''pony express"
Red shirts drifted to the out
skirts of the hamlet and dotted
the hills around. Hasd-faced
bartenders made ready for the
hottest night that ever tore the
camp loose" The artillery Of
hnsster and saddle-b0Ot was un-
Numbered for an ecstatic fusillade.
There was lively betting in dust
aud nuggets that the first through
stage had been gathered in by In
disUs, with takers as eager to
stwke their faith that the scalps
% drfver and guard would come
kkrough intact.
AZ length swirl of dust
showed far down the trail. 1t
grew into a yellow cloud that
crypt toward the eager hamlet.
THEN six mules stretched out on
the gallOp emerged from this cur.
9EIn, and behind them was the
3Glwbering, swaying stage, come
Esfely through on time, and Dem
Wer was in touch with the world
where men wore white shirts and
lived in real houses. The cheers
that roared a welcome to this he
E1ic enterprise were echoed in
every western town which hoped
and lOnged for a link of its own
with the home country SWAY back

Singing Is Beneficial.

It is asserted that singing is
n corrective of the too common
tendency to lung complaint. An
eminent physician has observed
that Germans are seldom afriict-
I'd with consumption, and this he
PARTLY attributes to the strength
ahat their lungs acquire by exer-
Else in vocal music, which consti-
sUtes an essential branch of their

Proceeding That ~ Gone Through
with Very Carefully Every
Morning.

Nobody who has ever watcneu
a cabby shire up his hanson coulu
have the heart to think two dol'
lars an exorbitant price for a hal'
mile ride.
First, to keep his horseperfectly
satisfied and happy, he blankets
him we'll from the chill OF the
morning and fits his Fe snugy
into a well-filled nosebag. Then
he takes out the bright yellow rug
that goes at your feet and throws
IT over the dashboard to await
shaking. Then he sweeps the
hanson thoroughly with a little
stiff broom, washes the small
round windows, poIishes up the
window in the back of the cab,
rubs down the dashboard with a
piece of chamois and polishes the
high seat. Then he taxed a long,
sweeping, lavish feather buster
and goes over the entire cab again
as if he had never touched it.
When this is over he shakes the
bright yellow rug again and puts
it back for your feet, dusts him
self from head to foot, twists his
mustache, takes the blanket Off
the horse, sweeps offhis horse with
the same little broom, climbs to
his seat, swishes his long, 1.-THE
whip and is ready for his fare.
1t has taken all in all about an
hour to accomplish this superb
degree of cleanliness.

A prominent Japanese public
man visiting this country recently
remarked that English was rapid
ly becoming the most popular Ian
guage in Japan. He predicts that
it will very soon become the ma
tional language of his country and
ultimately the language of the
whole world. The Japanese is
wise in hie generation. The mar
yelOus progress made by Japan
in the last 90 years has been
achieved by the ability OTIS PEG
pie to seize and appropriate what
ever is most efficient in western
civilization. This attitude is now
again demonstrated in their,
shrewdness in moving to appro-
pirate the most efficient language
of modern times, and in the TORE
sight OF their public men ia per|
ceiying that English is likely to
become the universal language.

Elevated Road Hangs In AZ.


To relieve Che congested traffic
.rsaditions in Berlin, Germany it
iEs proposed TO erect a monOrail
suspended electric railway, such
an has been for some time in sue
zEsgful operation between Eber-
JpAd and Bremen, Germany, writes
IDr. Alfred Gradenwitz ia Tech
nleal World Magazine. The pas
AEHger cars in this system hang
asWn from single overhead rail
and have no support whatever I'M
aerneath. Advantages Of the
EEsfem are its perfect safety, the
faet that the superstructure is
comparatively simple and does
Eur shlA out the light or air as
dses an ordinary elevated struc-
tWre, and the further fact that in
operation the monorail cars are
attnOst completely nOiseless. 1t
seems probable that the mOnOrail
suspended system will be adopted
sin the German capital.

vostok, it would seem that there should
be much better future for a prac-
tically discarded port. 1t Is also argued
by those who are interested in Vladi-
vostok that it is naturally the port
for American Manchurian commerce,
being closer and easier of access in
every way.
Heretofore Shanghai has benefited
largely by the Manchurian carrying
trade, but if there is the outcome in
dictated in the foregoing, China's great
est port will suffer. American cargo
will be handled at Yokohama, Kobe,
Moii or Nagasaki, or it will go direct.
And there will be a great curtainment
of the cargo at Shanghai which is
Ian here for trans-shipment to
Europe via the Suez canal, so with
less expense it will go to the north
direct, rather than trans-ship.
ut is already announced that the
Chinese Eastern railway will institute
a system by which all charges at fixed
rates can be paid in America for ship
ments to any point in Manchuria
reached by the line.
IF half of the optimistic views of
those who talk from the Russian
standpoint concerning northern Man.
churia and the Chinese Eastern rail-
way come through. the world will
speedily see that as matter of fact
Russia has suffered very little by the
outcome of the war as far as it relates
to her development projects in the far
east"
