tiplying and increasing with danger-
.oas rapidity. You can searcey throw
a stone at a dog witnout running tne
risk of accidentally hitting a colonel.
.Colonels in mufti, which may be broad-
xjloth or corduroy, in stable frocks or
barkeepers' aprons, taking orders for
books or rubber stamps or selling pat
ent medicines or plasters, are as com
mon as straight whisky in Kentucky
or as new theories of government in a
populist mass-meeting. It was once
proposed to raise a regiment composed
entirely of colonels. The troubles now
adays jvouid be not to get the regiment,
but to select from enough applicants for
an army corps, Fargo alone could prob
ably furnish more colonels than tttere
are in the active list of the army and
some of Fargo's colonels are men who
really have served in the army, which
distinguishes them from the colonels
of most communities. The "captain
Jhe "jedge and the "major" are not
to be mentioned in the same day with
the colonels. These oldrelicsof south
ern barrooms are vastly in the minor
ity, and the day .of the colonels is at
hand.
I4ke the lilies of Egypt they throng;
like the grasshoppers of Missouri they
congregate. From every station in
life, from everv prof ession, of every
age and condition, there are colonels
to the right and left, colonels ad lib
itum and ad nauseam. From whence
this great aggregation of colonelistic
talent? Where have been bred the
eagles that have swooped down and
roosted upon all these shoulders? Some
of them were infants in arms when the
late war closed, some of them were
manipulators of hotel registers and
eoncocters of the tittilating cocktail
while the war raged, and some have
been tenders of equestrian steeds since
they have been high enough to reach a
stirrup. How come these to be dubbed
"colonel?"
Faithful and persistent inquiry
among the colonels themselves throws
little light upon the subject, come
cannot claim anything bettor than
that their wives' people kept a hotel
where the soldiers boarded. They do
pot rfavm, even, that they themselves
kept the hotels- There would seem to
be a shadow of reason why the mi-

Several Llltelj to Bo Useful Introduced In
This Country.
In bulletin 07, just issued by the
Cornell agricultural experiment sta
tion, Prof. Bailey gives some account
of several garden vegetables which
have boon introduced into this country
by the Chinese. The most valuable
for American gardens, says Garden and
Forest, is the so-called Chinese cab
bage, po-tsai. It is a plant with a loose,
lettuce-like head of crisp leaves, which
may be used in all the ways in which
cabbaTO is served. It is an autumn
vegetable, and requires a cool and
jmoist soil. The same cultivation and
attention are dcrjanded for the Chinese
mustard, which is an excellent plant
for greens, and produces an enormous I
amount ot neruujre.. v-itiiioriuu. ivupcr
grass, which was brought prominently
into notice by John Lewis I'hilds in
1S90, seems- to be a finely cut leaved
form of a mustard which has been long
known in old gardens in tliis country,
but has not been described cither in
American botanies or gardening books.
It is one of tho best of all plants for
early spring greens. It is not known
how or when the plant iirst came to
this country, for, although it is culti
vated in China and Japan, it does not
appear to have been independently in
troduced from either of these couutries
in reeent years. There are other mus
tard-like plants which have been intro
duced from China which possess loss
merit thun the foregoing species for
American gardens. Among them are
the pak-ehoi. used as greens and for
the" thick white leaf-stulk; and the
tuberous-rooted mustard, grown for its
small turnip-like root. Of the cueur
bitaeeous plants introduced by the Chi
nese the best is the wax gourd, zit-kwa,
the fruit of which is excellent for con
serves. It is easily cultivated, but re
quires a long season. The lakwa. or
Momordica charantia. is not new to
the American city trade, but has more
merit as a curiosity and an ornamental
vine than as an esculent for our taste.
The lufTas. or dish-cloth gourds, are of
two species, which differ chiefly in the
contour of their fruits. The one best
known has ribfess cylindrical fruits,
but the one chiefly cultivated by the
Chinese in the ncighl-orhood of New
York has club-shaped ribbed fruit.
These fruits ore chiefly interesting be
cause they yield a sponge-like fiber
which is useful for household pur
pases. The tau-kok is a bean of some
merit for late home use. but the Chi
nese pea has little to recommend it,
and the other vegetables named have
hardly any value for our gardens.

The raising of a bridge in Switzer
land upon the line of the International
railway from Paris to Vienna has at
tracted considerable attention from the
methods pursued. The occasion for the
change, says Locomotive Engineering,
was that the river crossed the Rhine
had lost in the sectional area of the
passage between the piers about 25 per
cent, in thirteen vears. owinir to the
deposition of gravel and sediment,
while the highwater level had risen to
such an extent as to pile floating de
bris six feet deep on the bridge floor in
times of llooiU The alterations in
cluded some reinforcements, besides
the raising of the whole structure
about five feet. The bridge was con
tinuous over a center plor. and had two
main vertical posts there and four ver
tical end posts. To each of these posts
an inclined strut was attached in a
transverse vertical plane, presenting a
surface for the top cf a hydraulic jack

11. C. Deskin, then living atorne:.r
the mouth of Bear creek, was the
owner of several large teams and
did considerable teaming into Rogue
river valley from different points,
such as Crescent City, Rose
burg, Redding and various other
places, and he employed stveral
men as teamsters. I was one who
made application, and was accepted
and enrolled as a mule driver. Our
first trip was somewhat burden
some, but after that teaming became
a second nature; but when the rainy
season set in and the roads became
impassable and the teamsters were
shut up on the farm, it was like a
wild beast shut up in a cage, until
the freighting season again opened
I up, and this was immediately after
gram seeding in the spring, when
the roads would again be lined
with teams. The teamster, as one
of the types of the frontier, is sel

teamsters started for RoseLurg.
after freight for Fort Klamath.
Among the teamsters was a youth
ful boy, with modest, feminine
graces. The modest training of his

was soon to be initialed into that it

of such frail constitution. The
second day out from home this
vouth met with an accident that
almost proved fatal to him. He
was driving in the lead, and reached
the summit of a mountain, when
his team became unmanageable
and started at full speed down the
slope on -the other side and was
soon lost to view, but not long, how
ever. Soon as the dust cleared
