K. O. McCOKMICK, Passenger Traffic Manager, "Big Four Route." Cincinnati, (). A Practical Test. Doni Pedro, the last emperor of Bra zil, was a mail of u practical turn of Qilnri, as the following story told of him well Illustrates, says Harper's Round Table. He once gave an audience lo a young engineer who came to show him a new appliance for stopping railway engines. The emperor was pleased with the Idea, but wished to put it to a practical test. "Day after to morrow," said he. "have your engine ready. We will have 1t coupled to my saloon-carriage ind start. When going at full speed 1 will give the signal to stop and then we will fee how your invention works." At the appointed time all was in read iness. The emperor entered his car riage, the young inventor'mounted his engine and on they sped fur several tnfles as fat as they could go. There came no Klgiinl. and the engineer be gan to fiir that the emperor had fallen asUeep. Suddenly the engineer came to a sharp curve around the edge of the cliff, when, to Ills horror, 011 the track directly ahead of them the engineer saw a huge bowlder. He had just sufficient presence of mind to turn the crank of his brake and pull the engine up within a couple of yards of the fatal block. Here the emperor put ills head out of his car window and demanded to know the cause of the sudden stoppage. The engineer pointed to the rock, and, much to his surprise, Dom Pedro began to laugh. "Push It to one side and go on," lie said, calmly. The engineer obeyed and kicking the *ton<* was still further astonished to see it crumble into dust before him. It was nothing more nor less than a block of stnrcli which the emperor had had placed on the rails the night be fore. A Simple Fire Extinguisher. Hand-grenades, the Kim pi est form of Ire-extinguisher, can be made at home rtaeaply and easily. And it is well to lave at hand a simple contrivance for extinguishing a small fire at its start. Take twenty pounds of common salt (UHI ton pounds of sal ammoniac rai rate of aminonlu, to be had of any druggist), and dissolve in seven gal 011s of water. Procure quart bottles f thin glass, such as are ordinarily used by dniggisls, and fill with this, working tightly aiul scaling, to prevent evaporation. In case of fire throw so as to break in or near the fiame. If the fire is in such 11 place as to prevent the bottle from breaking, as in wool or cotton, knock off the neck and scatter the contents. The breaking of the bottle liberates t certain amount of gas. and the heat the fire generates more, thus work ing its own destruction.

FIELDS OF AD VENTURE. THRILLING INCIDENTS AND DARING DEEDS ON LAND AND SEA. A Railroad "Hold-up" Frustrated by the Unexpected Action of the Head ltrake man of the Train—Bravo Action of a United States Consul in Smyrna. "Dr. Depew's suggestion that the wreck of the Buffalo special at Gam sou's the other uight was possibly the work of train wreckers who were after the 8350,000 or more in the safes of the express company ill the express car recalls to me," said an old railroad man who had seen a good deal of ser vice in the West, "a desperate attempt of a gang of road agents to hold up the Overland Flyer, east bound, on the Union Pacific road, near Bawlins, Wyo., in the fall of 1888. This at tempt was frustrated by the unexpect ed action of the head brakeman. "It will he remembered about this wreck at Garrison's that just before the crash came the engineer shut off steam and started to apply the air, at the same time letting go three sharp whistles. It occurs to mo that it is possible that he saw the train robbers ahead of him and thought that they \ were tramps on the track nnd that ho ' was in danger of hitting thom. He mny have shut off nnd whistled and they may have got off the track. Then ; he may have opened the throttle and | gone ahead to the disaster. In that ! case the train wreckers saw the terri ble effect of their use of dynamite and realized that the only thing for them ! to do was to get out of the country as ! quickly as possible, all ehanoe of booty having gone into the river with the : train. i "The affair nenr Rawlins was jnst about as nervy as an attempt to hold up the Buffalo special would have been. It was understood that there ! was §250,000 coming east in the ex ! press car cf the Overland Flyer that I day. Overland Flyer—No. 2, ns she was known on the train schedule of the Union Pacific —was the biggest i train on the road, the only fast through passenger from the Pacific coast. Sho usually oarried from nine to eleven coaches, including the sleepers, and was always hseavily loaded, so that road agents attempt ing to rob her hnd to reckon on litild \ ing up or standing off a'good many men, and in that country, where near ly every man carries a gun, it was u risky piece of work. '■ "Four miles this side of Bawlins there was a tank where No. 2 used to stop every night for water. She reached there about half past 2 in the | morning. The night on which this attempt at robbery was made was a clear starlight night in August. No. 2 pulled up at the tank and the en gineer jumped down to oil around, | while the fireman climbed out on the tender and turned on the water, j There were two baggage and express cars, a smoker, two passenger coaches and four sleepers on the train. As the train stopped the head brakeman dropped tfo, and, with his lantern swinging on his arm, walked over to the engine to gossip with the engineer. Just ns he set his lantern down beside the engineer two men rose out of the ditch"with rifles. One commanded the engineer to throw np his hands and the other covered the fireman, who was standing upon the coal in the i tender. But there was nobody to cover the brakeman. He was the un looked-for chance on which the plans of the train robbers went to pieces. Incidentally it demonstrated the fool ishness of endeavoring to pull off a bold up with rifles instead of revol vers. With a gnn, as Western men call the revolver, one man can cover several others, but with a rifle he can cover only one, because anybody can always tell whether the rifle is pointed at him or not. "As these two men covered the en gineer and fireman the rest of the gang scattered along down the train were beginning preparations for the actual work of robbing the express car. When the brakeman took in the situation he ejaculated softly to him self, 'Well, this is no place for me,' and stooped over as if to pick up his lantern. It happened that right be side the lantern lay a big lump of eoal. The hrakemun saw it, recog nized his opportunity and took it. He picked np the lump of coal instead of the lantern, and, as he straighted up, swung round with all his force, hit the fellow who was covering the engineer on the head and staved in his skull. The man fell with a groan, and the other bandit let go nt the fireman standing up on the tender. "The engineer took in the situation in an instant. He dropped his oil can and jumped into his cab, and, with his heavy torch, smashed his cab lights. The fellow who had bpen covering the fireman shot once at the engineer and then turned to the brakeman, who, in stead of following the engineer into the cab, had started to run back to the front platform of the first baggage car. Jnst ns the brakeman climbed np on the car a bullet from the train robber's rifle caught him in the hip, but he hung on. "At the first shot from the man at the engine the other fellows along down the train opened up indiscrim inately, shooting through the car win dows. The engineer wasted not a second. As soon as his lights were out, so that he gave the robbers no mark, he tipped over his reversed lever and opened the throttle. He realized that it was possible that the robbers had placed some sort of ob struction on the track ahead of him, and the best thing for him to do was to go back; besides it was nearer to Bawlins than the station ahead. So back he went as hard as he could go, with the train robbers firing as long as they thought they hod any ohauce of hitting anybody. "When the train pulled into Baw lins the brakeman was found hanging to the first platform of the baggage car. The fireman had crawled down over the coal into the cab before they got to Rawlins. His right wrist was broken, and the brakeman's right hip was broken. That was practically all the damage that was done, except some bullet holes in the cars. It just happened that not a passenger was hit. They were a mighty frightened lot that got to Rawlins. If it hadn't been for the coolness and quickness of the brakeman the probability is that the thieves would have got the money in the express car, as well as the valua bles of the passengers. That was just about as nervy as it would have been to try to wrock and rob the Buffalo special."—New York Sun. Brave Action of an American Conoul. Since Mr. Carl Decker's good right, guided by his cool, courageous head, and backed by the Journal, accom plished what diplomacy and humani ty failed to do, stories of valorous deeds of rescue are being revived everywhere. One of them is the story of Colonel Madden, Consul to Smyrna. ; It was about this time last year, and the Turks and Kurds and Druses ! were murdering the Christians in all directions. While the storm was still brewing the Rev. J. H. Wiley and other American missionaries stationed in Smyrna were watched by the Turks, but having a fear of the United States j frigate Marblehead, lying in the har bor, they left the missionaries alone and confined their attentions to their ' neophytes and catachumeus. Finally they arrested a number of these, de spite the protests of Mr. Wiley and his friends, and lodged them in jail. The missionaries declared that the catachumeus were either American citizens or their children and were un der the protection of the United States. The proper, time-honored thing to do, of course, would in the first in stance have been to go and pay down so many sequins as ransom; but the missionaries were not wealthy enough for this, and even if they had been their democratic instincts forbade them. Nevertheless, time was moving on, and the Moslems gathered in greater force in front of the jail each day. They were simply thirsting for blood. "Colonel Madden," said the Rev. Mr. Wiley, in desperation, "the situ ation is horrible! Our Minister in Constantinople does not seem to liavfc any say in the matter. What shall we do?" "I think I know what's to be done," replied the Consul, who is a Grand Army man and six feet two in his stocking feet, and, so saying, he went to the nearest hardware store and pur chased an ax for an American dollar. Throwing the ax over his shoulder he moved toward the jail, followed by a crowd composed of men of all nation alities, who wondered what was going to happen. "Open the door," demanded the American Consul of the jailer, "and release Nazarauo Demetros and others claiming protection of the United States Government." The jailer grinned behind his bars, when lo! the ax descended, and the front of the wooden building was soon in splinters. "Good!" cried Missionary Wiley, with tears in his eyes. "Here's a war veteran with a nerve and a backbone!" And now the missionary element all over Asia Minor wants Colonel Mad den kept in his place, though ho is a Democrat and an appointee of Grover Cleveland. CußtnwAyft in tlio South Sen*. Second Mate Olssen, of the Norwe gian hark Seladon, Captain Jaeger, from Newcastle, N. S. W., July 13, 1893, for Honolulu, which was wrecked in the South Seas, iu August, 1896, has arrived in London with a dozen of the survivors and tolls a terrible story of their experience. The Seladon struck the reefs off Starbuck Island on August 7, 1896. The crew were obliged to take to the boats, and the vessel filled so rapidly that there was no time to save cloth ing, while they barely got a few pro visions, the ship's compass and a chart. They forgot the sextant. Eight men manned each of the two boats and made for Maiden Island, as there was no refuge at Starbuck Island. Failing to find Maiden Island, they tried to find Christmas Island. After eleven days the first mate's boat was capsized and the mate drowned. His companions entered the other boat, which was already disabled, and drifted, dangerously overloaded. The heat of the sun peeled their faces and bodies; their lips blackened and swelled from waut of food and water. The only food they had in ad dition to the small quantity of pro visions which they carried away from the vessel was a few small flying fish. Finally the captain and the carpen ter became ill. Still there was no glimpse of Christmas Island. Then they tried a course they thought per haps would bring thorn to Samoa on Fiji Islands. Finally Captain Jaeger died. After twenty-three days, when food and water were exhausted, they caught a little rain in tarpaulins. The party drifted without food for six days and finally, on September 6, they were cast on a coral island and their boat was smashed by a big wave. The island upon whioh they were thrown proved to be Sophia Island, inhabited by ten persons and belong ing to an American subject living in Samoa. They lived there for ten months on turtles, birds and bananas. The carpenter died soon after they landed. A few steamships passed their island, and they tried to attrnct their attention by the waving of sig nals, but failed. Finally they put off in a small boat and hailed a steamship, which took them to Suva, nnd from that place they traveled to Sydney.

Opinions never change the weather. Honesty has never foqnd a substi tute. Gold loses its shine when it is got ten by guilt. The best safe for your money is a prudent wife. A giant among giants is not aware of his own size. The ass might sing better if he didn't pitch his tune so high. The mau robs others who does not make the best of himself. No man ever gets discouraged in trying to live without working. Woman is a lovely dream—and dreams always go by contraries. Everybody says "Go up higher" to the mau who is "gettingthere." Call a little man great and other lit tle people will throw up their hats. Absence sometimes makes the heart grow louder—of some other person. To get the good out of the years we I must learn how to live each hour well. A shallow man may always see tlio face of a fool by looking into a deep well. Love may bo blind, but it can smell the cloves on a man's breath just the same. 9 pPatience may roost on monuments, but truth seldom finds a place on tomb stouts. When a man freely admits that his wife is not stubborn, he can afford to | stop praying. The man who figures on marrying an heiress often finds he isn't well up in mathematics. Some men arc like a bass drum— ! they make lots of noise, but there's I uothiug iu them. Kite* to IS© I.lfo Silver*, j Kites have been culled upon to do I many things of late, and now they are expected to suvo life at sea. With a vessel hard aground on a lee shore, ' all her boats either smashed or car | ried away, and a gale of wind blowing I so hard that neither lifeboats nor life ' lines can reach her, the usual ending \ of such a marine disaster is the loss i of the entire ship's company, i But Br. F. W. Riehl, of San Fran- I cisco, thinks he can prevent such j fatalities in the future by calling kites I to the aid of the storm-beset mariners, j He recently gave an exhibition of the i practical working of his idea from the I deck of the battleship Oregon iu Sun ' Francisco bay. j At the time of the testa good breeze was blowing, which speedily carried j the kite well up in the air and awuy from the vessel. Donning a bathing I suit, Dr. Riehl wrapped his clothing in a waterproof cloth and threw the bundle overboard. As it floated down ; wind ho hauled iu 011 the kite line, I throwing the slack overboard. He I then jumped overboard, took a turn of the line around his body, and, pulled along by the kite, went to lee -1 ward after his bundle of clothing. A 1 twenty-minute test of the device seemed to prove that the inventor's | claims were well founded. A report of the experiment will be forwarded to Washington by the officers of the I Oregon. Dr. Riehl asserts that his kite would take a man or a rope ashore through breakers in which a boat could not live. Of course if the wind was oft* shore the kite would be of no use, but statistics prove, he asserts, that, iu ninety cases out of one hun dred in the event of shipwrecks the i directiou of the wind has been toward the land.—New York Press.

The most wonderful temple In the world is built ou a rocking stone on the 1 summit of a mountain in Northern In dia. It is impossible to imagine a more wonderful situation than that of this temple. The rocking stone is situated on a mountain over twenty thousand feet high. It weighs many thousands of t-ons, but is balanced on so fine a point that n comparatively light pres sure is sufficient to make it sway. Whether or not the great rock was raised to its present position by human hands is a mystery to scientific minds. If it was. the labor was one to which no modern engineering feat can be compared. The Hindu priests teach their followers that the rock was placed in position by the help of the gods. In this way they add considera bly to the feeling of awe which they desire to create. The worshippers at this shrine must first make the ascent of the mountain, n matter of great dif ficulty. Then they spend seven days of preparation in a temple built on the solid mountain before they are permit ted to make the filial passage to the mysterious rocking stone. To reach the stone it is necessary to cross a bridge over a great chasm. Nature and man had combined to make this Hindu shrine awe-dnsiriring to the devout. Af ter crossing the bridge the pilgrim | mounts a ladder, to which lie clings iu terror for Ills life here and In the here after. The temple on the rock is nee- essarily a small place. Three priests , officiate in it. Tho mysteries which take place there no man Is permitted to reveal. Europeans have seen it from a distance. HOW? I ' ißy soothing and subduing the' < i , pain.
