cipht or ni no i::i!es away. The moun
tains here are covered with tall pine
trees which spring from tlio proimd
covered with iuimou.xA: granite bowl
ders. Kcstinp ourselves at the spring tho
colonel pointed to a trail loading1 up tho
side of tho opposite mountain, and said:
"A pood many yours since I think it
was in 1W5 and when 1 felt muoiiyounp
or than now I came vory noar hcinp
taken in by tho Indians i:p on the trail
where it passos over tho divide. I'll toll
you how it was.
"I had loon down to IYcseott for a
month or two, having a pood time with
a lot of the hoys until I had become
tirod of so muoh hilarity, and I made up
my mind to strike out for camp, which
at that time was at the mouth of tho
Grand wash, whioh leads Mown into the
Ilassuyauipa, four or live miles below
Copior basin.
I started out from I'rescott and was
coming up the trail on the other side
of that ridge over there, all the time
keeping my eyes op.-n for Indians, for
in those days a person was always on
the lookout for Indians and always had
his pun ready for instant use.
"As I came up the hill I noticed a
movement of the Ikiu'Iis in the top of a
tall pinon pine tree. Not liehip able
from my position to di.-niover the com
motion in the pine tree-top, I carefully
made my way up the hi'.l until I had a
l?nod view of the tree, and, what do you
think I saw? Well, an Indian had
shinned up the pine tree. and with a lonp,
lipht rib of a saphnar:i, was knocking
oft the pine cones, which hold the sweet
pinon pine nuts.
"I felt very comfortable when I saw
the Indian up that tree, for I imagined
the result if he caupht nii up the
tree. I made up my mind that he was
my Indian, for the Apaches had made
thirds particularly hot for me on more
than oue occasion. Without :v.y retrard
as to whether he would f;:ll OA a soft
spot or not, I took good aha and then
didn't shoot."
"No? What was the matter?'' I
asked.
"I'll tell you why," continued the
colonel. "Hearing a slight noi.-e I
looked down the trail on the other side
of the hill, and there, not more
than one hundred yard; away, were
coming seven or eight Indians in
single file, and all were armed. They
had not seen mo. I suddenly concluded
I hadn't lost any Indian that day, and I
lay Hat down in the brush while they
passed along tho trail in full viewc? my
hilling place and disappeared over too
hill.
r "AsT didn't care to call a band of the
red fiends upon me lv sho . iflng, I iust
crawled away lmm tne.u w.nioat lot

FIRST CHIMESE LOCOMOTIVE.
Made Out of SVrnp Iron ly Native- Work
men In 18X1.
In lTS coal mining was legnn at
Tonrrsan. about eighty miles northeast
of Tien-Tsin, says "hallways in North
China." It was arranged to build a
railroad twenty-nine miles long from
the mines t the no:; rest navigable
water that is, to Lutai. on the IVh
Tang Ho. It was then, in lsT.s, that
Mr. Kinder went out as a resident en
gineer. I Wore the railroad work could
le U'gun the authorities hail decided
to operate a canal twenty-one miles
long to a point within seven miles of
the colliery, and to connect the canal
and colliery by a tramway tole worked
by mules; this was done.
fortunately, the pan go of four feet
eight and one-half inches was. after
much dilheiil'y, sanctioned, but it was
stipulated that no locomotives should
be used, but In-tore the track was com
pleted this had virtually Kcomo r. dead
letter. The country was c"iy, but
several sharp curves wore introduced
to avoid graves. Subsequently the
owners of these graves objecting to
the noise so near the bones of their an
cestors, allowed the remains to Ik' re
moved and the line was rectified. This
track was laid with thirty-pound steel
rails, flange section, and ballasted with
broken limest me.
Ihiring the winter of lsvi-m Mr.
Kinder built a locomotive in the t-hops
of the company. It wa-s built cntirclv
of tnlds and ends which could !c pro
cured without attra.-tiiigattontioii. The
boiler ln-lonped to a port able winding
machine. The wheels wore thirtv-incli
Whitney chilled wheels, which" had
been bought us scrap c.tst ir.;-s. and the
frames were made of channel iron. Ile
fore this was finished its preparation
became known and orders wore issued
that it should Ik- stoj ,1.
Eventually, however, throu ;h the of
fices of Li Hung ("hang. Mr. Kinder
was allowed to finish the locomotive,
'which was christened the "I'oeU.-t of
China." just one hundred years after
the birth of George Sti-plu-ns. n. No
vember 8, iv-ci. this cifi:t t-ok a pnrtv
ofoflioials over the iiae at a speed of
twenty miies nn hour, and af't. r that
the objections to locomotives were
virtually abandoned. Mr. Kinder snvs
there is little doe bt that if this or-ine
had not been built as it was. in China
and by natu-e workmen, it v. o;i!d n, vor

BRASS BEDSTEADS.
Curious Frsn of the 1'eoplo Who ITse
That lilnil of Furniture.
The ccnoral ailptiKU of hrnss and
iron Ix-i'.sti-a.ls has hnmsrht axntt many
curious wUiai and theories oj the
Upholsterer.
Not lon apo a woman called at a
New York retailer's for "aa electric
nonconductor." The salesman assured
her he didn't know of any such thinjr,
unless she tacked up a lihtninff rod,
but she insisted she had seen them in
use among friend in Washington
She described them rather vaguely as
a cup like a soup-bowl, which stands in
one of the corners of the bedsteads
though exactly how this would be a
nonconductor she was not in a position
to explain.
"We have," said the dealer, when the
lady, with a sense of superiority and
contempt for a man so slow in his busi
ness had departed "we have," said
the dealer, throwing lightly to the
winds a few hot epithets "we have all
sorts of cranks come in here since brass
bedsteads have prevailed. One woman
is afraid that brass ledsteads will make
her nervous, that they will rob her of all
her electricity; while another will insist
upon having- them because she under
stands that they charge the led with
just that vital force, and then they
kick if our charge is too high ha a
joke.
"Most women seem to agree that they
attract li.rhtaing, and it is ditlicult for
me to explain that they don't. Some
few think that they tarnish easily;
others rather mistily fear that they need
the same polishing that you put on the
handle of the big front door, but with
all the many fears and prejudices the
goods are selling steadily more and
more every day. Now, how do you ac
count for that?
"Regarding this glass enp scheme, a
woman called here lately and, instead
of wishing the cup at the top of the bed,
she asked for cups in which to rest the
casters. I told her we sometimes sold
such things, bnt the people that tiought
them filled them with vinegar to keep
rwaches from climbing up. I will never
forget the look she gave me.
"Yon would le surprised to know
hoy inanjr demand glass casters. How
these ideas originated, heaven knows
but it's a fact that nine people out of
ten who buy a brass bedstead buy it
contingent upon certain modifications
which they think are needed, but which
the manufacturer, strange to say, never
thought at nil necessary to put u them.
The structure thut meets all prejudices
all demands has not been made."
A BAD BARGAIN.
How a Old Man Paid
for Ilia
Indeolnion.
A miserly old man one day went to
a blacksmith's shop, says the Liewiston
Journal, and asked the workman to
weld the handle on the blade of uu old
fashioned, brick "oven shovel.
"You jest mend it while I go down to
the corner," saidhe, "an' 111 g-t it
when I come back-er-long."
The smith mended the shovel, and left
it standing near his anviL Presently
the owner returned.
"Wal," said be, "how much is there to
pay on that 'ere little job?"
"Six cents" was the reply. The old
man stood for a moment with his head
dropped forward, and his eyes on the
floor. Then he spoke:
"I'm sorry I had it done!"
"All right," said the blacksmith.
"That's easily remedied." lie raised his
hammer, struck the iron a blow, and
unwelded it. "There," he continued,
'it's all right now."
This time the old gentleman dropped
his head and looked at the floor for full
five minutes. At the end of that time
he said solemnly:
"I'm sorry you done that.
"Well, you were sorry it waa done,
and now it's jubt as it was when you
brought it here," was the reply.
"I can't kerry it home that way,"
said the owner of the article. "The
folks want to use it. I guess you'll hev
to weld it again."
"All rfght," said the cheerful black
smith, and in two minutes the work
was finished.
"Wal, what's to pay on it now?"
"Eighteen cents. Six for mending it
the first time, six for unwelding, and
six for mending it again."
The bill was paid without a word,
and the shovel carried home to the
"women folks."
TRIUMPHS OF SURGERY.
Skillful Scientific Operations AVhrreby
Stupid People Acquire More Siia.a.
The surgical operation reported in a
paragraph from the l'all Mall azette
finds is. parallel runninir in the other di
reetion, so to speak, in a 2Sew YorRcase,
says the Evening Post of that city. The
Paris surgeon opened a child's skull
which had closed too earlj', hindering
thereby the proper development of the
brain, und by this means secured proper
brain enlargement with a corresponding
increase of intelligence. In the New
York case the skull (of an adult) never
had closed, and the brain without nor
mal protection was affected to the point
of clearly deficient intelligence. The
subject was a young woman, a house
servant of good character and disposi
tion, but stupid and inetticient, despite
her evident desire to do well. Upon be
ing discharged from the service for this
cause she was for a time with her 6ister,
then employed in a hospital. While
there engaged in such work as she could
perform her liability to headaches of
great severity and the pain occa
sioned by any work requiring
a stamping psture were noticed
by one of the house physicians,
who in a leisure time thought fit one
day to examine her head. This resulted
in the discovery of a persisting fontanal
or aperture between the cranial bones
a thing not unheard of in adults but
rare enough to excite the attention of
the hospital physicians to whom there
upon the girl lecame an object of bud
den interest. They worked upon her
with enthusiasm and succeeded in ef
fecting the proper closure. Now the
IKiint of the story is that thus furnished
she assumed her proper brightness and
returned to her former service, where
she became one of the most accom
plished of housemaids uniting to her
old conscientiousness and willing effort
a retentive memory, power of prevision,
great capacity for quick learning in
short, a remarkable degree of general
intelligence. We do not give the name
of the hospital for fear lest the physi
cians may le overrun by processions of
dull servant coming to be made over,
but we cite the ease, together with the
Paris operation, as a curious instance of
like effects produced by means vohichin
form were precis ly opposite.
Man Mast Ilavst m Cook.
Man always needs a cook. A college
professor, bereft of his wife, who had
done his housework for years engaged
a cook at greater wages than had been
the allowance he gave his wife. lie
bargained for punctuality. "I must
have my dinner at 12, he stated. "I
can't get it ready till 1 o'clock." she an
swered. He yielded and changed the
hour of his college recitation. The
next week she demanded a new stove,
as the old one was too low. "It costs
too much," he expostulated. "I can't
afford to hurt my back," hhe replied.
He knew it was not easy to find anoth
er good cook, and btiught the stove. A
week later she desired him to send for
the carpenter that the back staircase
might be changed. Then be dismissed
her and became a boarder. Which was
the cheaper thing to do?

What He Iid fr the f irst Moaey lie
Mrurtl Alire.
A reporter fr the X-w York N'v-h
called upon "an oll Russian cx-soatnan"
who is ail to le the most export "ri
per" iu that city. Tho reporter wished
an interview f..r his pajwr, on the sub
ject of steeple-elimVinfr and the like,
lie found his ma,n pacing the flr of a
loft on West htreet, and quite willing
to talk.
I remember well my first climb on
land. It was when I was a younjr fel
low, just arrived iu New York. I was
walking down Broadway, when I
noticed a crowd fctandinp in front of a
church. As I afterw ards loarnrL the
church, with its fixtures, was being1
sold.
I mixed with the crowd, and pretty
soon I heard a man near me say:
lf I was fcure that cross on the
Kteepie was bras, I would make a good
bid for it."
I looked up to the top of the steeple,
which was alnmt a hundred feet high,
and saw a big1 cross glitterinir in the
sun. I noticed, also, a lightning-rod
running from the cross. I was just
reckless enough to determine to shin
up that rod. and find out for myself
what the cross was made of.
Before anyone could stop me I was
out of reach. The rod was pretty rough
on my hands, and I did not reach the
end of my climb without risking my
neck; but I got to the enss at last,
whipped out my jackknife and scraped
away. Having satisfied myself that the
cross was made of wood, I slid to the
ground, amid loud cheers frm the
crowd, and pushed my way back to my
old itosition. Presently the man who
wanted to bid for the cross came up to
me.
"Tell me, young man, said he. "is
that cross made of wood or of metal'.'"
"What would you give to know?"
said I.
He slipped a five-dollar bill into my
hand, und remarked: "1 jues. that will
pay you."
"Thank you, said I. "The cross is
made of wood rotten wood at that."
That was the first money I ever
earned ashore.
HOW CAVIARE IS MADE.
The floe of th Murtron avs It Is Ire
Mml for Market.
The Allgemeine Sport Zeitung, in an
article on Caviare, says: "This delicacy
has only lecome generally known in
the last sixty or eighty years, but dur
ing that time it has acquired a distin
guished place in the estimation of every
gourmet. Every one is aware that
caviare is the salted roe of the sturgeon,
a fish which is caught in great rmmlers
off the south coast of Russia. The
large grained caviare, made from the
roe of the largest species of that rish, is
considered the lcst.
"Some of the sturgeons weigh as
much as three thousand pounds, meas
ure from eighteen to twenty-seven
feet in length and yield a roe weighing
eight hundred pounds. The fish should
lie caught some months 1m fore spawn
ing time, while the roe is hard and li-ht
gray in color. As it gets softer and
dartcer it tecomes less and less suitable
for preparing caviar": and when it is
quite ripe it is completely useless for
the purpose. The process is a simpl
one. The roes, cut into large pieces,
are put into a horse-hair or metal sieve,
the coarseness of which is regulated by
the cojirse:iess of the roe, which is then
rubled urefully through, so that it
falls out i utiiujured as possible, while
the skin utt ached to ii remains in the
sieve.
"The finer sort of caviare Ls rubled
into an empty dish; it is then strewn
with dry, finely-powdered salt: the
whole mass is then well stirred with a
wooden fork and immediately put up in
little wooden barrels, ready for export.
The inferior sorts are rubled through
the sieve into strong brine, where they
are allowed to remain untouched until
thoroughly salted through; the brine is
then pressed out and the caviare packed
tightly in cases. The fresher and more
lightly-salted caviare is the better. In
lWJfl caviare to the worth of twenty-one
thousand pounds sterling was exported
from the Caspian sea; since then the
amount annually exported, and espe
cially its value (for the price is now
much higher than it used to be), have
greatly increased-
