The Names of Moses.

Moses of Scriptural fame is called by eight different names in various places in the Bible. Bathia, the daugh- ter of Pharaoh, called him Moses be cause she drew him out of the water Jochcbed, his mother. called him Jeku- thiel, saying, ''I had hoped for him. '' Miriam. his sister, called him Jared because she had descended after him into the water to see what his end would be. Aaron called his brother Abi Zanuch because his father had de serted their mother. Amram. the fa- ther of Moses, called the boy Chabar because he was again reunited to the mother of tho lad. Kehath. the grand father of Moses. called him Abigdor because God had repaired the breach in the house of Jacob. The nurse of the grandfather of Moses called him Abi SOcho because he was zonce hid. den three months in the Tabernacle. All Israel called him Shemaiah be- cause ''in his days God heard their cries and rescued them from their op. pressors."

THE PONY EXPRESS.

Fearless Riders and the Dangers and
 Hal dshirs They Faced.
 Perhaps tne most picturesque figure on the old trail was the pony express rider The overland stage proved too slow for mail and express in its flight from the Missouri and the Pacific. True, 1t had cut down the months of the old OK team to twenty-five days. and still there was clamor that the east and west be brought closer ta- gether. and it was done. The pony cut the time to ten days.
 Those who were personally acquaint- ed with the famous pony express of those days could never forget the in- trepid rider who braved all peril. for getful of self. intent only on the speedy delivery of his precious mo- chila to the next hardy horseman. Hard and fast he rode over mountain and plain. across scorching desert and icy snow, through sunshine and rain. past friend. away from foe. to the final achievement-the safe delivery of his charge.
 Forty fearless horsemen in saddle riding west. as many more riding east and this novel but useful enterprise was in motion. For two years the pony express carried messages of busi- ness and love across 2,OOO miles of western mountains and plains, over a country peopIed with hostile race, destitute of cultivation or develop ment, through a region wild, desolate and little known.
 It was in 1859 that the pony express was established. The route, briefly stated. was due west from St. Joseph to Fort Kearney. up the Platte to Julesburg. thence, by Fort Laramie and Fort Bridger. to Salt Lake City, thence to Camp Floyd. Ruby valley. the Humboldt. Carson City, Placer vile and Folsom. to Sacramento and San Francisco by boat.
 The intention of the pony express was to carry letters only and not more than ten pounds at a trip. It was de- cided that the safest and easiest mode of carrying the mail was to make four pockets, one in each corner of the mo- chila. a covering made of heavy leath- CT for the saddles and generally used by the expert Mexican and Spanish riders. The mochila was transferred from pony to pony and went through from St. Joseph to San Francisco, the pockets containing the mail being lock- ed and opened only at military posts en route and at Salt Lake City. These precious letters were wrapped in oiled silk to protect them. but even this pre- caution sometimes failed. Rivers had to be crossed: horse and rider swan together.-W, c. Jenkins in National Magazine.
