EBENSBURG, PA., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20,
KAPII) KAILROADING.
Phenomenal Time Made by
New York Central.
the
Ad Interesting- Incident of Karly Travel
RecaJlexl by a Coincidence of latea
Ulacoverlee of Oree,t Im
portance. The phenomenal time record made by
the New York Central & Hudson Uiver
Kalroail conipaiiy, on the 11th day ot
September, 1SU5, recalls an interest"ui
coincidence of dates of special interest
in the city of Albany.
On the 11th day of September, 1609,
Henry Hudson, after making' several
unsuccessful attempts to discover 4
northeast passape around the conti
nent, under the direction of the Anfflo
Dutch Kast India company, entered the
Hudson river, terminating1 his trip at
the head of the navigable waters in the
vicinity of Albany, which he named
"the New Netherlands."
Hudson did not make the rapid transit
of Cj l-;i miles ier hour, nor is it pos
sible that his sailing record compared
favorably with the speed of the Defend
er or the Valkyrie, but the result of his
discoveries was of vastly more impor
tance, as it indicated the route which
w as destined to be followed in the march
of civilization and the development of
this continent, and has done more for
the advancement of science and the
arts than any section of the earth re
corded in history.
It was here that the first meeting of
the colonial representatives was held,
resulting in the preliminary steps for
the establishment of the present re
publican form of government.
It was here that Clinton and his co
adjutors, taking advantage of the nat
ural topographical route provided by
nature, inaugurated the canal system,
connecting the waters of the Hudson
with the lakes, which was the pioneer
movement for inland transportation,
and was followed by the more rapid
railroad system rendered necessary by
the demands of commerce. It was here,
that the first institute for the develop
ment of science and the arts and the
promotion of agriculture was incor
porated by Stephen Van Kensselaer and
others, wnic-h is still in existence.
It was here that Dr. Nott provided the
first plan in the introduction of the
grate bar, by which coal could be suc
cessfully used as fuel.
It was here tiiat I.ittlefield brought
into use the first self-feeding base-burning
stove.
It was here that Squire Whipple first
reduced to science the art of bridge
building, erecting a trapezoidal truss
bridge of iron, and presenting formulas
for several structures.
It was here that Prof. Henry and Dr.
TenKyck strung miles of wire around
the walls of the Albany academy, dem
ons! ra t i ng the practical use of elec
tricity as a power and in the transmis
sion of messages, which was immedi
ately applied by Prof. Morse by the use
of his alphabet.
And it was here, at the West Albany
s.hops of the railroad eumpany, that
William Iluchanan, superintendent of
motive power, planned and constructed
the celebrated engine 909, and others of
the same style, which have gained an
international reputation, and without
which the success attending the phe
nomenal achievement could not hav
lieen accomplished. It is worthy of
note that our Dutch ancestors of the
Netherlands, to whom we are indebted
for so much, have just launched the
largest steamship now afloat of thetwtn
screw type. May success attend their
enterprise. Peter Hogan, in Ballston
Dailv Journal.
COTTON FROM FIR WOOD.
Chemical I'roee. by Which a Strong.
I'eefnl Mubetltnte Is Made.
Artificial cotton, says a Paris journal,
resi ml les he natural oduet in this,
that lioth are formed of cell ulosf, near
ly pure; and, as nature has prepared
cotton by means of the elements of the
air and soil forming the cellulose in fine
fillers by means of secret forces, and of
fering it in the state of wool to be trans
formed into what is required ot it, so
the chemist in his laboratory takes the
l.atural cellulose of the tree and sep
erates it from the substances with which
it is combined, transforming it into
threads by means of sui table app'iPiiccs.
For this purjiose fir wood is employed,
this lieing submitted to a series of me
chanical and chemical operations, nnd
the threads are drawn out, afterward
lieing rolled on tiobbins; the material
when manufactured resembles oidi
nary cotton, though having a sKght de
fect, which can be easily corrected
that is, it is a little less solid than
natural cotton. On the other hand,
however, the new substance is worked
and woven easily, it can be dyed as
readily as natural cotton, and when
passed through a weak solution of t'.n
nin and certain other reagents, it will
take every shade of artificial colors, and
can lie dressed and printed on just as
are the tissues of natural cotton.
THE ELEPHANT KNOWS.

Olaulaya Remarkable latelllceae In

Much interest has been taken lately
in jierforming elephants. It is certain
ly interesting to see such huge, clumsy
animals ride bicycles or play seesaw
w ith apparent enjoyment. In the wild
state elephants display remarkable in
telligence. Sir Samuel Baker, whose
delightful books on Ceylon should be
read by every boy w ho likes tales of ad
venture, says that in spite of the great
weight of the elephant and the fact
that they live in countries where human
life and the lives of domestic animals
are frequently lost in marshes, no ele
phant was ever found stuck in the mud.
liven the youngest know enough to
avoid such places. In view of the many
stories told in his books of the sagacity
of these animals, the following from an
old iiaperdoes not seem improbable:
A train of artillery going to Seringapa
tam had to cross the shingly bed of a
river. A man who was sitting on a gun
carriage fell; in another second the
wheel would have jiassed over his body.
An elephant, walking by the side of
the carriage, saw the danger, and in-
etantlv. without any order from his
keeper, lifted the wheel from the
ground, leaving the fallen man uninjured.

In 1335 gold pen manufacturing be

scale in America, being inaugurated in
New York by Levi llrown.
When hat making was introduced
into "America is not certainly known,
but in 1732 the industry had lecome so
extensive that English hat makers com
plained bitterly that not only could
they not sell their hats in America, but
that American hats were actually sold
in England.
The enormous extent of the for
ests, and also of the lumlier industries,
of the northwest is indicated by the
fact that this year Washington will
make shipments of lumlier aggregating
400,(M0.oH) feet. Oregon lM),0O0.lH0 feet
and Iiritish Columbia 40,000.(K)0 feet.
And there is no danger of the supply

nnd 447,000 gallons of wine and brandy.
During the same time Fresno shiped
east 40 car loads of raisins, making
about 550 car loads of this fruit sent
eastward this season. San Jose also
sent east 53.2S0 pounds of garden seeds
during last week.
Of the human heart Dr. Ephraim
Cutter writes: "I have listened to the
heart sounds of one woman anil one
man, both over 99 years of age, with"
feelings of awe, and have thought how
vonderful it was that these hearts hail
pulsated so long, projielling blood
through vessels which if jx.ssil.le to
be ranged in one line would on a very
modcrate estimate reach twice around
the earth, or 43.000 miles, w ith a leeway
for the average red disc of oue-forty-eight-thousandth
of an inch!"
The antitoxin discoveries have in
fused the greatest amount of activity
into the lalxrs of the bacteriologists of
Euroiie, and a corresjiondent of the
Sun writes to warn young Americans
that, for the present, they hail best stay
at home, for the eminent men of the oM
country are too much engrossed with
their own "original investigations" to
have time for imparting instructions to
others. He concludes by saying that
"the scientific men of to-day w ho are
making investigations in bacteriology
are as feverish as were the prospectors
for gold iu California half a century
ago."
Ether is preferred as an anaesthetic
in northern countries and chloroform
in the south, although ether tends to
cause secretion in the air passages and
bronchial trouble. One cause is un
doubtedly the difficulty of keeping
ether in hot climates. But Dr. Lan
der r.riintoii suggests that the gen
eral abstention from meat may be.
another reason for the successful use
of chloroform. He is led to this from
the increased number of fatalities un
der chloroform in Edinburgh since the
introduction of American and Austra
lian meats, which has made meat eating
more common among all classes in
Scotland.
Dr. Heubner, professor of the dis
eases of children iu the I'niversity of
Berlin, has published an iniix.rtant re
port on the results of the serum treat
ment of diphtheria. The number of
deaths this year in Berlin, 434, was 2O0
less than the average and 100 less than
in the most favorable year on record,
while the number of cast's has in
creased. The same observation has
lxen made in Ixindon and Paris. The
treatment unquestionably facilitates
the casting otT of exudations in the
pharynx and influences ery favorably
the course of the fever. The serum is
erfectly innocuous. The probal.ility
of the complete success of the treat
ment is increasing every month.
f or the MiMliKli Matron.
A fabric resembling rich riblied ori
ental silk recommends itself to the no
tice of matrons, who, while they have
a good dress now and then, consider
that it is wiser to have a handsome one
which will not easily show wear. For
that object nothing can surpass it, as
it will stand legitimate wear for a long
time, and a youthful variety of this

of color in rose, green, blue, plum and
old gold. The crepe mohair, shot with
black, is appropriate for making sleeves
and vests when satin or silk are not de
sirable, the elasticity of the stutT mak
ing the sleeves set out just where they
ought. Tweeds and cheviots, which,
when tailor made, have so long been
a part of every lady's trousseau, are now
likely to be relegated to the cyclist and
sportswoman. St. Louis Republic.
Locomotives Have to Ho Trained.
It may not be generally known that
locomotives intended for express trains
require as much training, in their way,
for fast running as do race horses.
When an engine intended for express
purposes is taken out of the shops to
be placed on the line, instead of putting
it to the work it is intended for at once,
it is run for two or three weeks on some
one of the local branches, in order to
train it, so to speak, for fast running.
By this means all the various bearings
and delicate machinery connected with
therunning gear become settled to their
work; for, should anything about the
new machine not work harmoniously,
the're is ample time to adjust the de
fect. Usually the new engine proves
troublesome on account of its projien
sity to make-fast time, and at almost
every station the train is found to lie a
little ahead of schedule time and must
wait for from ten seconds to a minute.
CHURCH HISTORY.
Tui Franciscans, or Gray Friars, took
that name from St. Francis, the founder
of the order.
The Jesuits, or better, "The Society
of Jesus," was so called by Ignacius
Loyola, who died in 1534.
Tdk Gallican church was the church
of the Uauls, or French. It was found
ed by Pere Hyacinthe.
Turn Muggletouians took their name
from Muggleton. a self-styled prophet
of the seventeenth century.
The Jansenists were the followers of
Jansenius, the bishop of Ypres. born in
1585; died in 1638.
The Church of England was so called
because its jurisdiction did not extend
outside of that kingdom.
TilK Nonsectarians are thus denomi

I SMUGGLING THAT PAYS.
How Chinamen and Opium Are
Spirited Into This Country.
A Large Number of Persona Actively
Encased In lirlnsjlna; (iooda Over
from Canada Without ray
lac Dutlea.
Smuggling is an offense of great an
tiquity and one that many of the revo
lutionary fathers and early settlers of
the country, prior to the historic 1 lost. 11
tea party, were wont to commit as fre
quently as the opjwrtunity presented
itself, and the excessive duties made it
profitable. As late as the latter part
of the eighteenth century the smug
gling' of wine, liquor, tobacco and bul
lion was so generally practiced iu
( treat Britain as to become a kind of
"national failing," and the smuggler
was often regarded as a opulur hero.
The maximum enalty for bringing
into the United States dutiable articles,
with intent to defraud the revenue,
is five thousand dollars fine or two
years' imprisonment, or both, in the
discretion of the court, and for aiding
und aliening the importation of a Chi
naman one thousand dollars, or one
year's imprisonment. The degree of
punishment an offender gets depends
ujKjn the circumstances of the case. The
smuggler also forfeits his goods.
There is a large body of men system
atically engaged in smuggling China
men and opium on the Pacific coast and
the Canadian frontier. The men who
successfully engage in this business
must lie peculiarly adapted to it. The
first qualification is ingenuity enough
to invent ways and means; second, dis
honesty to the degree of defrauding
ths government, yer with sufficient in
tegrity ami honor to justify the imriort
ers in intrusting to their care hundreds
and sometimes thousands of dollars
worth of opium. It is a opuhir fal
lacy that any man who is dishonest
enough and will assume the risk can
make money at smuggling. If he has
sufficient capital he can buy opium in
Canada and iossibly get it across the
border, but it is practically iuqiossible
to sell it without detection. The deal
ers in the United States will not buy it.
nor receive it, from anyone save their
trusted agents.
According to statistics there are
about one million human beings in the
United States, principally Mongolians,
addicted to the habit of smoking
opium. It is prepared in Hong Kong
by a sjadicate under the surveillance
of the Chinese government. Prepared
opium has the appearance of black
molasses. It sells in China for about
seven dollars per pound, and the duty
under the present tariff law is six dol
lars per pound. Formerly the duty
was twelve dollars per pound; it was
then that the smuggler reaped a
harvest.
The methods of smugglers are too
numerous to relate, but suffice it to
say that the government has to main
tain an army of detectives and spotters
to suppress them. The detectives who
render the most valuable service ar
those stationed at the places from
whence the goods are imported. They
speed the parting guest and give the
"tip" to the detectives at the object
ive point, who welcome the smuggler
whenever the opportunity presents it
self. Conviction secdily follows, as
the United States statutes place the
burden of proof on the smuggler to
show that the opium was not illegally
imjiorted. The Detroit river is one of
the most favorable points for smug
gling on the frontier, but. thanks to
the efficiency of Special Agent Wood,
one of the cleverst officials in the serv
ice, it is practically broken up. The
smuggler usually crosses the river in
a row boat and drives by conveyance
to some small station near Detroit,
where he boards the train for New
York or Chicago.
The smuggling of Chinamen is very
profitable, but difficult. The Chinaman
will gladly ay one hundred dollars
to be safely landed. Chinamen were
for some time successfully imjiorted
by bringing them over in the state
rooms of sleeping cars; woman's at
tire and black faces have been resorted
to. but the pigtail usually discloses the
Chinaman's identity, and this he will
not jwirt with, owing to the supersti
tious belief in it as a means to get him
intoa better world. Detroit Free Press.
ABOUT THE HOME.
A tablespoonful of flour to a table
spoonful of butter is a cooking rule for
all sauces.
Fish should never be turned while
broiling. Put the inside next the coals
or gas jets and let it cook through.
An easy way to prepare croutons or
crusts for tomato or bean soup is to but
ter one or two slices of bread on both
sides, cut in small squares and brown
in the oven.
For cleaning faucets: Use equal
parts of fine sand and salt mixed w ith
vinegar to polish, and when thoroughly
dry rub a lemon over it to keep from
tarnishing. This will be found an ex
cellent remedy for cleaning all kinds of
copper pans, etc., that are used on stoves
for cooking purposes.
It is worth while to recall, with the
trying w inds of autumn uinvn Us, that a
baked lemon is an excellent remedy for
hoarseness, and one often resorted to
by singers aud public Seakers. The
lemon is baked like an apple, and a little

NEARLY SPOILED THE BANQUET
Mlafortuao to a Printer C nsed Confusion
nt a lilnner tilven to fitanlry.
Mention of the present visit of Ht-nry
M. Stanley to this country brought
alxnit the narration of an amusing,
though somcw hat annoying, incident in
connection with the "American dinner
that was given to the explorer in Igni
tion on his return from the Em in
Pasha relief ex'edition. The incident
also serves to show- how a wry slight
accident may precipitate confusion in a
dinner arty. The American dinner to
Stanley was the idea of Henry S. Well
come, an American business man of
Ixudon, who was not only a jx rsoiial
fiiend of Stanley, but a memlier of the
firm of druggists who fitted out the
Einiii Pasha rt-Iief cxjieditioti. Through
Mr. Wellcoiuc's energy almost every
American in Loudon subscrUK"d lor
tickets to the dinner, and on the night it
came off covers for over three bundled
people were laid in Evans assembly
rooms. One table, on a dais, w as re
served for Stanley and the more dis
tinguished guests, and there were a
dozen other long tables facing thisone.
Mr. Wellcome attended icrsonaiy to
the arrangement of the seats, and each
111.111 who had subscrilnnl to the plate
that was to lie presented to the guest
of the evening was given a place at tne
end of one of the subsidiary tables, and
others were given seats near each other
who had expressed preference. Mr.
YVellconie gave minute attention to
these details, and. the first thingon the
morning of the night of the dinner, he
took his completed plan of the tables
anil seats to a printer in order to have
the usual diagrams ready for the guid
ance of the diners in taking their places.
When the hour of 8:30, which had
lieen fixed for dinner, had arrived, the
'-OO hundred guests were assembled in
the reception-room. Stanley was there,
nnd so was Consul tleneral John C.
New, who was to preside, aiwl so were
some of the most distinguished men in
England. But there was no diagrams
of the dining-room, and the reception
committe were anxiously waiting f..r
Mr. Wellcome to arrive with them. At
S:35 o'clock Mr. Wellcome flew in, in his
business clothes, with a smudge of
printer's ink 011 his nose and more 011
his hands. He agonizinly informed t he
reception committee that the printers
hail pied the tyjie or the diagrams of the
tables at the last moment, and that
tney would le compelled to do w ithout
t hem.
It may seem an easy matter for 3'mi
men to find their places at tables, w hen
their names are at their plates, but it
brought alx.ut so much confusion that
everyliody was turned from the dining
room back to the ri-cepti.m-nioni arid a
brilliant scheme w as suggested. There
was the original list of the namesof the
timers, with their respective places,
thi.t Mr. Wellcome had rescued from
the printer, in the itosscssit.u of the re
ception committee. The toastmastcr
was stationed on a chair at the door of
the dining-room and instructed to read
the list of names, each man to pa,-s out
end take his place at the table wlu-n
his name was called. The toast master
w:is a fine, big Englishman, with a
stentorian voice. He did as he w as told.
"New Consul General John C" he
shouted, aud Mr. New went through
the door. "Stanley Henry M.." Ib-I-
owed the toastmaster next. There
a-s a roar of laughter and that schi-nie
for seating the guests was dropjied.
Finally evervlodv went in acain .and
searched for his place and found it or
itherwise. as liest he might. Several
of the guests designed for the princirial
table were rescued from inferior posi
tions lielow, and some ambitious ones
were degraded from the table of rank;
but the dinner went 011 merrily and
ended similarly, though itiicganan hour
later than the time it had lieen set for.
and all liecause of the accident to the
diagrams. N. Y. Telegram.

"When Mount Talxir. N. J was first
taken possession of by the Newark in
ference of the Methodist Lpis-ojial
t-Jiurch." said a clergyman of that de
nomination recently, "we had little
money with which to clear up the
grounds and erect the first buildings
necessary. After putting up a sort of
ojicn air jtvilion in w hich t lie preach
ing services could lie held, we Ix-gau to
east around for some 1. nil. ling where
transient guests might be accommo
dated. "The structure resulting from this
necessity was a long frame building,
which was christened the Taior
house.' In constructing the house on
as economical a lwisis as possible, the
iKirtitions were not run all the way up
to the rafters and the room was not
ceiled.
"I shall never forget." contnued the
minister, "one of my first nights in this
rather crude hotel. After ! had retired
i was suddenly aruuscil with a start by
Theiiiost unearthly shriek.
"'Murder! Thieves! Kobl.ers!
Help! Help!' a woman was shouting at
the top of her lungs.
"I hustled out into the narrow hall
in my night roW and found others in
the same attire loth men and women
running around in a distracted way.
We all stopped lefore a door from w ith
in which the sounds proceeded.
" 'You Wast! Help! Help! Mur
der!" still came the cries.
"There was a sound of scuffling from
within and suddenly the door o pencil
and a woman, excited, jiauting. with
w ild and disheveled looks, apiieared at
the door clutching a boy. who was more
frightened even than was the woman.
"tine glance settled it. The loy was
the son of a woman occupying the ad
joining room. The little fellow, out of
curiosity, had climlied to the top of the
partition and. losing his lialance, had
fallen over into the next room, landing
on the ix-d of a rather elderly spinster.
"The ridiculousness of the whole af
fair seemed to dawn upon all at the
same time, and everyone joined in a
good, hearty laugh. The boy was pun
ished and the old maid left the next

GRIZZLY AND SILVER TIP.
Three Types In California of Immense
si- and Stn-nth.
The grizzly Wars found all through
the canyons of the I.ocky and Cist
mountains and spurs of the Sierra Ne
vada ran ire s.-l.loin descend from lofty
altitudes, where they lnai:airc year ill
and year out to eke out a subsistence
near the peretual snow line. An old
and ex riet:ced hunter has said that
"any man's a fool to go in arti-r lx-ar
alone." The bruins of the cast and the
bruins of the west are almost totally
different animals. " The Ursa Majors of
the Sierras are monstrous in sic, en
dowed with ngly dispositions and pro
digious strength, and as for grit. 1 hey
dispute ami very often successfully,
too the sovereignty of the mountains
and forests with the king of American
Wasts, the mountain lion.
Hunters disagree ujx.n the point of
how many different ppecics of the War
triW we have in the southwest. There
are at least t hree dist inct tyjiesofthe
family in California and Lower Califor
nia namely, the grizzly, brown an.l
Hack War. Besides these there are
also gray bears, cinnamon Wars and
the Sierra trrayback. The true gray is
seldom, if ever, seen now as far north
as the 45th jmrallcl. and as far east as
the main divide; the cinnamon is sim
ply a cross Wtween the brow 11 and
black Wars, and the mighty silver tip
is neither more nor less than a mongrel
of the brown and grizzly, jiartaking
strongly of the natures of the two, but
articularly of the latter. All the mem
Wrs of the sjiecies intermarry, and the
silver tip is the kingof the family.
This bic fellow, springing from the
srrizzly and the brow n. combines all the
ferocity and tough strength of the for
mer with the agility and st ubbornnesu
of the latter, each distinctive trait be
ing more prominent in him and os
scssed to a greater degree than by the
very animals from whom he liorrows
them. The silver tip is unquestionably
the ruler of the family by reas -n of his
greater size and Wlligerent disxisi
tion. Lewis and Clarke, in their nar
rative of their journey to the Pacific
coast nearly a hundred years ago, siieak
of meeting not only brown and black
Wars, but also numerous white Wars,
that made it eriious traveling at times
for various meniWrs of that bold pio
neer party. N. Y. Times.
Don't Write When An (cry.
Never write a letter to a man, wom
an or chili! when you are angry with
the irson in question, or -icrhaps. I
had Wtler qualify my advii-e by Wg
ging you. one and all. never to send an
angry letter for 4S hours after you have
written it, and then 1 would su trgi-st
reading it. carefully, and. as the Irish
man said,"burnittr it Wfore sending it."
We have many of us exhausted all our
rage in the fire of the letter-writing',
and have felt all the delightsof a battle
won by the prowess of our ix-ns w ithout
the hackneyed formality of iostingthe
epistle. Who is there who has not
written his anger out in this wholesome
aj ! Do not, 1 pray, send a cruel let
ter to anyone you have ever loved. You
will but live to regret the act. and pos
sibly with the pallid silence of death
Wtween you and the wouiided one. If
mortals were, in these prosaic days,
giftiwl with invisible ixwvers, 1 would
wish to W that spirit endowed with a
force which would arrest every augry
wonl at the tip of each sharp-iKjinted.
