A wHEELLEss, HoRsELEss TOWN
Funchal, in Madeira Island, Peculiar
Place.

New York-The town of Funchal, In
the Mad EZRA Islands, is town with no
horses and no wheeled vehicles. In
travelling about one either drives in a
sledge or is carried in a hammock.
The streets and adjacent roads are
paved with small and curiously smooth
cobblestones, and from the first it was
found that runners were better than
wheels, both for speed and comfort.
For instance, when you come to hill
the oxen draw your sled to the top
and are then unhitched; your driver

Druggists Have An outing.

Appleton, Wis, Aug. 10.-Business
was laid aside by the druggists in con-
vention here while all of the 400 del
egates and their wives took trolley
cars and boats for the Neenah park,
where an afternoon of outdoor sport
was enjoyed. They returned to APP
pleton in the evening and at $50
they appeared for the second of a
series of three parties scheduled for
the new armory of Co. G. Fully SOC

then proceeds to toboggan your con-
veyance gently down the other side,
while the team trots on behind. Horses
are not available in Funchal, as the
nature of the cobblestone roads would
soon ruin their feet. This is why the
OK, with his flexible hoof, is the
draught animal of Funchal.
For expeditions into the country the
hammock is used. This is slung on a
pole, carried on the shoulders of two
men, and is perhaps the most comfort
able conveyance in the world-no jar
and no need to guide it.

panions had already dropped back to
work, and signaled to the engineer at
the hoist, who was in plain view, to
lower him. The latter John Pugh by
name started to comply. He had re-
leased the brake, and the big drum
about which the cable was cOiled had
already made several revolutions
when Richard Perry walked into the
hOisthOuse.
Stop that bucket" he said.
Pugh, his eyes glued to the paying
out cable, paid no attention. Perry,
the former engineer at the hoist, had
been fired several weeks before for
drunkenness, and ever since he had
been lounging in harmless drunken
befuddlement about the works.
Stop that bucket" repeated Perry.
"Wait a minute till l get Jack
down" said Pugh, with a conciiatory
manner.
stop that bucket" said Perry.
There was something so insistive in
the command that this time Pugh
looked up. He glanced up into the
muzzle of a IS Colts. behind which
two eyes, out of their sockets with
maniacal frenzy, glared.
Wait a minute" Pugh started to
say. trying to gain time.
Perry. CRASHED his teeth. placed the
cold muzzIe upon Pugh's temple, and
cooked the gun. Pugh put on the
brakes, turned on his heel, jumped out
of the rear window, and went down
the hill to get help.
Perry calmly established himself
upon the vacated stool. his cooked six.
shooter conveniently at hand. He re-
leased the brake. The drum began
to revOlve. slowly at first. then faster,
till it hummed Then. just as the eX.
tremity of the cable was almost
reached. Perry damned on the brakes,
released them, damned them on again
and brought the thing to a stop at
the place on the cable where a piece
of Irvine showed the reaching of the
lowest level Immediately, however
he threw the electric controller for
ward a notch, then another, then full
the other direction. Up wound the
cable. the drum fairly buzzing. Perry
kept his eyes on the shaft. Suddenly
the bucket whiZZed out of the opening
up into the sunlight. Perry threw off
the controller, snapped on the brakes,
and the bucket stopped, a bare six
inches from the top of the gallows
frame. Then off came the brakes, and
down swooped the bucket into the
shaft again. WhehSTt got down, it
came up again; when it was up, 1t
went down again-all at vertfginous
speed. And this is the game that for
two hours, alone upon the top of Gold
Hill, the mad engineer played.
As for Wright, meanwhile. he was
not having a nice time. When Pugh
had made his discreet exit he had
found himself in motionless bucket,
swinging idly between two levels. He
was just reaching over to ring two
bells for further descent when the
bucket started down. His satisfac-
ton was of short duration. however.
Down dropped the bucket at a speed
that jumped Wrights heart into his
mouth. There were big drops of
perspiration upon his honest brow
when the thing clambering down,
when-"z-z-z-z-z-z' bucket began
to slide upward The speed increased
to mad one. This time he was sure
there was something wrong, and so,
very wisely, he dropped to the bot
tom of the bucket, making himself as
small as possible, and anchoring him

fOrmity which renders his hands use
less he is obliged to do, and actually
does, all the clerical work of his of

Ernest G. Moon and he is in charge

He uses an indelible pencil in his
official work. with which he writes
clearly and legibly. He is 81 years
of age and has been in charge of the
postoffice at TIE Uku for eleven years.
The official reports of the inspectors
of the New Zealand postal depart

every satisfaction in the discharge of
his duties. He makes out money
orders, postal notes and the periodi-
cal official statements by using his
feet. In the same way he applies
the date stamps to letters with won
derful rapidity. Mr.. Moon can also
use a hammer, saw anG other car

REVENUE INCREASES.

City.
Minneapolis, Aug. 10.-The predic-
ton that the revenues of the city
would be materially reduced by the
hard and fast enforcement of the
Sunday closing ordinances is not
borne out by the facts. The reve-
nue. from liquor licenses for the first
six months of 1905, before the lid was
put on, was $685. 900, and the rebates
for licenses revoked were $56,S00,
making a net revenue of about $212,-
900. For the first six months of
1906 the revenues were 1891 900 aud
no rebates, a difference in favor of
the present year of nearly $4,000
Hence, instead of losing 100000, as
predicted by some, the city is likely
to gain $4,000 in hard cash.
