A CATTLEMAN'S NAItrtOW MCAPK PIMM A
TKUium.K riiAiim: hur.
A few evening ngo, wiys tho St.
Print Globe, n party of Northwestern
cnttlcmvti woro crroitpecl together in tho
rotumln of tho Merchants' Hotel, when
ono of tho gcntlcinn Haul t
"A nraiiio firo with a strong winil ia
n turrimo thing. I hnvo seen several,
but. fortunately was no or close to but
one, niul it was only by n, streak of
good luck or, uerhapa, l'rovidonco
that I escaped alive."
When tho gtoup had settled back for
tho story tho cattleman told this inci
dent, which has lomauco enough in it
for tho foundation of a novel :
"It wns '75 or '70. I don't remember
which," said the man. "I was in part
nership in the cattlo business with n
man whoso namo is immaterial with our
ranch m Indian Territory, below Modi
cino Lodge. Wo had shipped n drovo
of cattlo to Kansas City, driving them
from tho Territory to Wichita, Kan.,
which w;is then tho terminus of a
branch of the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Vo road. Tho drivo to Wichita
was rather disastrous to '.he slock, tho
grass along tlio route being poor and
water scarce. On the way homo from
Kansas City it was decided that wo
should continue on tho main lino of tho
road to Hutchison, from which place I
would take a horso and rido down to
tho Territory, white my partner was to
go on to Dodga City, and also tako a
horso for homo. Tho object was to
find a moro desirable routo on which
to drivo our next herd of cattlo in order
to reach a shinning point. Accordine,
ly I stopped at Hutchison, and before
going to bed was in possession of as
hno a piece ot uorseliesh as you over
laid your eyes on. Tho distance from
Hutchison to Medicine Lodge was
about ninety miles, which could bo
readied by a bard day s ride, ily day.
light tho next morning I was in tho
saddle and riding south. It will bo ro
membcred that at that time Kansas
was little settled west of tbo central
portion, especially off tho lino of two
railroads running cast and west through
tho Slate. Consequently my rido was
a rather lonely one, tho majority of tho
living things to be seen being praino
dogs, which would scamper to their
holes on my approach. Occasionally I
would happen on a 'dugout,' but
throughout tbo day I did not see a
solitary houso. These dug-outs aro
strange looking objects to persons un
accustomed to them. Usually- they are
simply a hole dug in tho ground, a fow
poles laid across and pralrio grass and
dirt thrown over the top. Tho only
redeeming feature about them is that
thev aro cyclone-proof. In some cases
a hole is cut in tho sido of a hill, but
owine to the naturo of the country
this form of habitation is scarce. Tho
day had been unusually warm, and I
had been riding rather slowly with a
view 01 pushing on taster when it bad
becomo cooler. A breeze sprang up
from the south, and 1 gave my horso a
tap to urgo him on ; but not minding

Tho sun had cone down, and tho wind
was increasing, bringing with it a faint
odor of burning grass. As it grow
dark I could see a flickering of light at
a distance, but thought nothing of it.
It was not long, however, before I dis
covered tho cause of the horso's uneasi
ness. Stretching from tho right to left
apparently in a semi-circle, was a streak
of fire, and I at once realized that I
was in a dangerous position.
There was no way to escape except
to turn back, and I was loath to do
that. I stood still somo time, unde
cided what to do. It would be foolish
to think of trying to break through
this sweeping wall of fire. Turning
tho horse's head in tho direction from
which wo came I let him have tho
reins. Ho needed no urging and cov
ered the ground in fine style. I looked
back and was dismayed to Beo that
oven as fast as wo were going tho firo
wos gaining on us. Giving the horse
a sharp cut with the whip, he gave a
lungo forward, but fell, throwing me
over his head. He had stepped into a
praino-dons holo and broken a leg,
Seeing that ho could go no further I
drew my revolver and ended his life.
Tho fire was now less than a milo from
me, coming before a terrible wind, the
flames leaping high in the air. By the
light I could see a small hill a lew nun
dred yards away, and my only hope
was to reach that, perhaps finding
shelter on tho opposite side. I put
forth my best efforts, but before cov
ering half the distance I could hear tho
roar of the flames and ieol the heat,
while tho smoke was suffocating. Mak
ing a terrible effort I kept to my feet
lor a few seconds more, and then con
sciousness left me. When I awoke it
was morning, and bending over me was
a young woman. Remembering what
I had passed through my lirat impress.
ion was that I was dead and in well,
where wo all want to go sometime,
Hut 1 soon found mv mistake, and dis-
covered that I was in a cavo dug in
the sido of a hill. In flying from the
fire my last step had brought mo to
the door, and falling, had forced it
open. The young womn'i was in great
distress, and told mo that sbo 1 eared
her husband had been caught in tho
prairie fire. Sho told me her history
very briefly, saying that sho was an
orphan, had been married but a short
lime, and came from tho East with her
husband to makoahomo. Her husband
had left her alone two days before.
having cone to the nearest town, and
sho had expected him to return the
evening before. Hastily eating what
sho had prepared we started in search
of tho missing man. Tho sccno was a
desoiato one, as lar as tho cvo could
reach being a sea of ashes. We had
gone alittlo over a milo when wo found
the charred remains of the woman s
husband. I left her watching over
him while I hunted up a habitation
mid, securing assistance, we buried him
near whero ho died. I hired a man to
tako mo to my ranch, whoro I found
mv partner had arrived all right.
Shortly after that Isold out and came
North, but I think I shall not forget
that part of tho country soon.
Just as the narrator had ceased
(peaking a bright little boy came run
ning up to him saying :
"Papa, mamma wants to see you."
"Hut what became of tho young
woman 7 was asked by tho rest ot the
party as tho gentleman arose.
"Well,'' said lie, after a smile, "sho
has just sent our boy after me.''

Bixty Skeletons Found.
THE 11KMA1NS Of MEN WHO WERE MUll-
DEtlEI) MANY YEAIW AUO AND
THROWN IN A WKU-
Tho peoplo of Nashvlllo aro oxclted
over n gliaatly disoovcry made near
Cookvillo, situated on what wos known
many years ago as tho Kentucky Stock
Road. This was at tho timo tho prin
cipal highway for traders between
Kentucky and Ucorgia or south Caro
lina. Stepping places on tho road wcro
fow and far between, and many men
returning after selling tholr stock novcr
rcachod homo.
Some years ngo a skeleton was found
nt tho entrance to a cavo near Cook
villo and a few days ago a party con
cluded to explore tho cavo. Hack on
tho mountain side, about ono halt muo
from ono of tho notorious stopping
plaoes on tho old road, tho entrance to
tho cavo was found. A holo something
like a well going straight down somo
thirly.fivo feet was first passed through
and then tho cavo opened into largo ca
vorns with a downward oourBO under
the mountain.
At tho bottom of tho shaft the party
found human bones and with a littlo
digging in tho debris that had accum
ulated at this point unearthed about
Bixty skeletons of men who had beon
murdered and throwu down this hole.
Somo skulls wcro found with bullet
holes through them, others being
smashed with an axe or an instrument
of than kind.
Old citizens now living in tho vioin-
ity say that tho keopers of these dens
would keep track of tho travelers when
they passed through with stock and on
their return they would bo almost cer
tain to disappear. There is another
cavo twenty miles from Cookvillo near
one of tho ancient inns and an explora
tion of it will bo mado also.
Longevity.
When mankind receives tho wiso
raising and training that is expended
on horses and cattle, tho Scriptural
limit of threo score and ten will bo re
moved to at least fivo score It has
been estimated that the normal
longevity of an animal is fivo times its
period of growth. This rule gives a
lion twenty, a dog ten, a camel forty,
and a horso twenty-fivo years. Man's
twenty years of growth, by this calcu
lation entitles him to ono hundred.
The French chonjist Chovreul, of Paris,
has reached his hundredth year, with
a vigor and clearness of intellect un
dimmcd, and in a world comparatively
ignorant of the highest laws ot lite,
and while he is at present an extreme,
it is indicative of what is possiblo to
all, under better training and a greater
degreo of enlightenment. Other ex
tremes have gono many years beyond
this. Noah Habv, ot Jflainheld, Mow
Jersey, is 114, and supports himself by
his work in tho Summer, and looks
like a man of eighty.
Liougevity has its basis in tno mgnor
faculties. women, having ieeoior
bodies, but stronger moral natures,
rank higher in longevity than men.
Of sudden deaths there are seven times
moro of men than of women. Tho
life forco organizes a body in accord
ance with lis own character, and this
vital force is affected by its environ
ments, in the nature of education, air,
food and motives. Tho human body
is a tenement, of which life is the
builder. Wo shall not easily bo re
leased from tbo influence of auv false
opinion into which we have been ed
ucated, but wo can continuo to mako
heroio and noble struggles, and thereby
enjoy increasing hopes.
What Sort of Girls are Lovable.
"What kind of girls aro lovablo T"
asks an old bachelor sternly. "That,
good sir, depends a great deal upon
what person is going to lovo them."
Hero is a rather pretty summing up
from the thoughts and experience
of a person who has prido in being
in some sort a connoisseur of lovabil
ity. "The girJs that aro lovable," says
he, "are these: Girls without an un
desirable love of liberty and crazo for
individualism; girls who will let them
selves bo guided, girls who have the
filial sentiment well developed, and who
feel tho lovo of a daughter for tho wo
man who acts as their mother; girls who
know that every day and all day long
cannot bo devoted to holiday-making
without the intervention of duties moro
or less irksome; girls who, when they
can gather them, accept their roses
with frank and girlish sincerity of
pleasure, and, when they are denied,
submit without repining to tho inevit
able hardships of circumstances these
are the girls whose companionship glad
dens and does not oppress or distract
the old, whose sweet and ready sub
mission to reasonable control of author
ity mako life so pleasant and their
charge so light to whoso caro they are.

It is the poor children here that
most move me to pity and mako mo
loso sight of the wonderfully varied
and picturesque scores of Cairo, writes
a Detroit IVibune correspondent from
Egypt. Tho poor little things, borne
astride the shoulder of their mothers,
often seem moro dead than alive, and
the little hand clutohing so feeblv, yet
confidently, to her headgear is a sight
most pitiful. It is said that soventy
eight per cent, of tho children dio here
in infancy. I havo seen several funer
als of children. They aro borno along
the streets in an open wooden box with
a gray palUhrown over it, a motley
crowd bearing the box and others fol
lowing chanting a song with not tho
least degreo of solemnity. Neither tho
mother nor any woman is over allowed
to follow, and at tho gravo the child
is taken out of tho box, and, scarcely
wrapped at all, is dropped into tho
sand.

STUDYINO MEN S CHARACTER IIY THE WAY
THEY USE TOOTHPICKS.
'Talk nbout phrenology." said the
cashier of a woll-known restaurant, "I
can get nt n man s character without
feeling of his bumps. Just keep your
oyo on this man."
As he spoko a portly, dignified gen
tleraau walked leisurely to tho desk
and laid down a check wrapped in a
S-r noto. Then ho drew a toothpick
from a tumbler on tho desk, inserted it
between his double teeth, looked tho
cashier calmly in tho eve, struck an
ensy attitude,' and waited fnrhis chnngu.
When it was passed over ho put it in
to his waistcoat pocket and left tho
restaurant with the toothpick still pro
truding from his mouth.
"Tint," said tho cashier, "is a man
of business. Did you nntlco how con
fidently ho picked his teeth t That is
n sure Bign that ho is in no danger of
failure. Ho is a man whom you may
trust, and ono who will always count
tho change you givo him. Now observo
this ono."
Tho next customer grabbed a tooth,
pick and jabbed it between his teeth in
a nervous manner. Ho gouged away
hero and thero until thn toothpick
broke in half. Throwing the fragments
on tho floor, ho gathered up tho chango
for a fifty cent picco and dashed from
tho place as though a detective wcro
on his trnck.
'A bad man thai," commented tho
cashier, "and ono who is treacherous
withal. Any man who stabs nt his
gums as that man did would uso a
knifo in a quarrel. Tho mannor in
which he cast tho useless toothpick on
tho ground is significant of how he
would treat a friend who had gone
broke to servo him.
"Lord," continued the cashier, "I'vo
studied this subject so much that I
could keep talking nil day on it. I am
willing to bet that I am right nearly
every timo. You sec, no ono suspects
that ho is being judged according to
tho way ho uses a toothpick, and ho
acts perfectly natural. A man can
chango tho expression of his face, and
tho hair of most met: covers their
bumps, but tho innocent toothpick is
what gives them away."

"Can it bo done 1" she asked of tho
landscape gardner who had undertaken
to mako hor domains what they ought
to be iu tho matter of trees and shrubs.
She referred to the transplanting.
The landscape gardner was astonish
ed. "Pray,raadara,"said he, hesitatingly,
"have you considered tho enormous
expense of carrying out such u whim ?
It would cost at least "
His questioner broke in impatiently :
"That has nothing to do with it," she
said. "I did not ask you what it
cost, but if it could bo done. I repeat,
is it possible !"
Yes," answered tho landscape-maker,
"It is poiBible."
"Do it then," ordered tho lady, "and

Tho Sensations of tho Dying.
It is doubtless tho ca-o that in many
instances and perhaps they aro tho
majority dying persons lapse grad
ually into an unconsciousness that ends
their bodily pain, and saves them from
tho anguish of tho final parting with
thoso they loavo behind. It is not un
common, howover, for clearness of
comprehension to persist to tho last,
and perhaps it is still moro common for
somo of Iho special scutes to preservo
their activity. Wo think it was Er
nest Wngntr, who in his "General
Pathology," dwell particularly on tho
preservation of tho senso of hearing in
many cases long after tho npparont
occurrence of unconsciousness, nnd
who tenderly cautiono'l his readers that
this possibility should bo borno in mind.

Alden'a Manifold Cyclopedia of Knowledge
and LiBguaco.
Ono of the most extraordinary liter
ary enterprises of the age is the work
which bears tho abovo title.
Tho specimen pages which tho pub
lisher sends freo to nny applicant, show
tho typo whiuh is used a good cloar
fnced brovior; also tbo form "Ideal"
for convenience, easy for tho eye, handy
to hold. Tho volumes will average
about CIO pages each, and thero will
probably bo about thirty of them tho
"manifold" number will not bo incon
venicnl; whon you consult a Cyclopedia
you aro supposed to know what "titlo"
you aro looking for; tho lettering on
the back of each volumo tells you at a
glance what titles will bo found with
in, so you do not look in the wrong
one and the volumes aro so "handy"
you quickly turn to tho sought-for
pace.
Thero will bo several thousand illus
trations no "moro pictures," but
everything of importance that will serve
to illustrate.
Tho Manifold Cylnpcdia is to bo
much moro than a "Cyclopedia of Uni
versal Knowlodgc;" it will embody also
a Dictionary of the English langungo
including overy word which lias nny
claim to a place in tho language. How
often you havo nonsuited Applcton's
or Chamber's, or Johnson's Cyclopedia
and failed to find tho titlo you wcro
looking for then consulted Webster's
Unabridged and wcro successful; tho
word belonged to tho Dictionary rath
er than to tho Cyclopedia. Or yon
havo consulted Webster, and found
little moro than a mero definition of
tho word you must go to tho Cynlo
pedia for details of knowledge. Or,
moro probablo than either of tho fore
going suppositions, you do not own
either a first-class Cyclopedia or a first
class dictionary, or only ono of the
two, becauso of their prohibitory cost,
so you "consult your imagination" and
"go hungry" for lack of tho few lines
of print that would satisfy you! In
tho Manifold Cyclopedia you will find
a survey of all knowledge which is
illustrated by tho English language
and its cost is within your reach, only
50 cents a voluo for clolh binding, 65
cent for half morocco!
In this ngo of tho world, no general
Cyclopedia or dictionary can bo in any
proper sense "original" each new com
plication, if it has merit, is based upon
tho knowledge found embodied in all
its predecessors. "Knowledge" as set
set forth in books can not be monopoliz
ed by "patent" or "copyright" only
tho form of embodiment can bo thus
covered. The latest discoveries (or
imaginings) of the scientists, tho latest
"finds" (or frauds) of tho arobfuologists,
tho latest theories of tho political econo
mists all aro subject to tho "sight
drafts" of tho latest fMicvclopedist.
Alden's Manifold Cyclopedia under
takes to combine in tho most conven
ient and conciso (and yet full) and
economical form possible, tho results of
tho scholarship of tho world, up to the
timo of its publication. Availing it
self of most of tho labors of its predes
sors who have accomplished the best
results, the Manifold Cyclopedia draws
moro largely from Chamber's than from
any other o'f tho family of Cyclopedias,
and more largely from Storraontli than
from any other of tho family of diction
aries tho Chambers is an acknowledg
ed model for a Cyclopedia, but it is
adapted particularly to England rather
man to America; oiormomo is mu ac
knowledged peer of Webster, Worces
ter, tho Imperial, and Murray, as an
authority, but without a peer in tho
combined qualities of consciousness,
clearness, and accuracy of learning.
No authorities, howover, aro blindly
followed, but effort is carofully made
to bring all matters to the generally
accepted standard of tho most eminent
Amaiienn, rather than foreign scholar
ship. Editorial talent second to nono in
America, in experience and skill is en
gaged in tho conduct of tho work; tho
publisher's past experience in Ctclo
pudia making (notably in Tho Library
of Universal Knowledge, now known
trebled in prico as tho Internation
al Cvclonedia) is good basis for tho
pledge ho makes to his patrons that
tho Manifold shall bo in inferior to
no ether Cyclopedia in any of tho im
portant qualities of a popular guido to
knowledge. Specimen pages free, or
a specimen volume may bo ordered and
returned if nat warned. John B. Al
