Great Alarm and Mnrh Wonder.
The object of greatest interest iu con

walking mountain in Hard, France,
which is moving toward the river of the
same name at the rate of 15 feet a day.
The advance has destroyed the machin
ery in the pits of the Grand Combe col
liery and nearly a mile of the Aim's rail
way. The great thing now is to prepare
new channels for the (Jard and Uardon
rivers, which are sure, when the land
slide comes, to be completely choked up.
Six buudred persons have been obliged
to leave their homes at Grand Combe.
The lower strata of the mountain, which
rises sheer from the valley, are grit and
green marl. Both ha e given way owing
to filtration of rain. Recently fi.000 per
sons went from Nimes to see the mov
ing mountain. The noise it inukea is
frightful, and there are wide cracks in
all directions. Nobody is allowed to go
on the mountain or into the valley on
which it advances. New York Journal

The Baltimore and Ohio is tho oldest
team railroad in this country. The
first stone of its roadbed was laid in
Baltimore on the Fourth of July, IS'JS,
with elaborate ceremony. Over it orig
inal length of nine niili k mules dragged
its cars. Then IVler Ctsiper, a maim-
facturer of Xew York, took to Halt

Tho Baltimore and Ohio becamo the city
of Baltimore and the state of Ohio and

John W. (Iarrett died in 1SH-I, und
bis son, Kobert Garrett, succeeded him
aa president of tho B. and O. Robert
(iarrett Buffered tho diMiilvantiio of
having a Jtreat father. Koliert (iarrett
was a luxuritius millionaire. Tho (iar
rett bidding of B. and O. stis-k wits
then fiT.OdO shares of tho 150,000.
Robert Garrett was the center of the
MOcjul BTlitom f Ualtimore. He wished
1 .... a .a
besides to rival Ins great father as a
railroad man.
There was ono ruilroad between Phil
adolphiuand Ualtimore. Robert Gar
rett wanted it for the Baltimore and
Ohio. Tliomus A. Keott wanted it for
the Pennsylvania railroad.
That railroad was tho Philadelphia,
Wilmington and Baltimore. Just ut that
time it wns naturally the most desira
ble thing in the world to tho Baltimore
and Ohio und to tho Pennsylvania.
Robort Garrett generally got anything
he wanted. Wanting tlio Philadelphia,
Wilmington and Baltimore, he looted
arouud to see how he could get it. Ho
learned thut several of tho largest own
ers of the stock lived in Boston. They
owned almost half tbe stock, and with
thut in his possession Robert Gartett
could easily get control of tho majority.
So ho went to Boston. His negotia
tions were eminently successful. His
oiler for tho stock was accepted. Robert
Gurrett went to New York. Already in
his niiud's cyn lie now the Baltimore
aud Ohio trains rolling into the Phila
delphia, Wilmington und Baltimore de
pot at Broad and Prime streets, Phila
delphia, for all that remained was to
sign some pupers.
Now, bo it remembered, Robert Gar
rett was nover a self contained num. Ho
drank deep. Arrived iu New York, ho
went to a dinner party with some of his
old friends. Some corporation lawyers
were among them.
At thut ilinner tho bottle of chum
pngne that cost millions was opened.
Robert Garrett drunk it. Flushed, ho
could not keep his triumphant secret.
'Congrutulateme,"hocried. "Drink
to the U. aud O. and her nutlet to Phil
adelphia. Iu two (lays I w ill control tho
P., W. aud B."
More corks popped. But ono man,
whose logs wore under tlio mahogany,
did uot drink. Heexcused himself ubout
10 p. m., pleaded a pressing engagement
and left the table. Ho took the first
train he could catch to Philadelphia.
Thero ho was driveu to the house of
Thomas A. Scott, RittenhouHii square
and Eighteenth street It was long aft
er midnight. Ho aroused Mr. Scott, a
plain man. Mr. Scott went down stairs
with his nightgown tucked in his trou
sers and his st king less feet III slippers.
Tho limn wiio hud dine I w ith Kohort
Gurrett told S-ott of Gurtett's tsstst,
"Iu twoduys?" mused Scott aloud
"We'll sen."
Instantly Scott sent for his asislnt,
Captain John P. Green, now vn-o presi
dent of the Pennsylvania railroud, and
for some of the diteeitom. The confer
ence lasted until daylight That morn
ing Captain Green took the first traiu to
Boston. Other men t-ltwe to Scott went
flying in the directions where they knew
P., W. und B. st.s-k was held.
By 2 o'clock the next day the papeil
wero signed that gave the Pennsylvania
control of the Philadelphia, Wilmington
and Baltimore Tho stock was to be de
livered in Xew York thut night. Cap
tain Green went to Philadelphia, and in
stantly returned to New York carrying
a big satchel. The satchel Itsiked aa if
b was going on u long Journey. It was
fut aud heavy. R D- Barkl.y. assistant
to the president of the Pennsylvania,
helped Captain Green carry It.
That sutchel contained more than IV
COO, 000. Captain Green paid it down
on the duiI spot cah, aud the P.. W.
and B. shares were banded over to blm.
When Hubert Garrett awoke ou what be
llrm ly believed was to be tho morning
of his triumph, tho iicwspaHr wero

Inexoressibly mortitled, chagrined be

his own to l'liil.tilelpliia. First it was
ntw-M-ary to gM legislative permission
to enter Philadelphia. That seemed dif

adclpliiu city councils. The re mis .
ilia fought tiainit w ith all its strength.
Hut Kobert (iarrett, on his mettle,
got permission for his torn I to outer
Philadelphia iu -40 days. It cost him

well; he advertised lils-rally; ho ex
pended largo sums iu fees to counsel.
There wero those who insitcil that
it should be sh-I1c1 c o n n o i I.
The Pennsylvania road, (hiding that
Robert (iarrett could get iuto Philadel
phia, determined to patch up a truce
with him. They ngrotd to pay him all
the liabilities ho bad incurred looking
to the construction of tho road to Phil- !

And it is said Stephen Little, tlio ex

to examine the Baltimore mid Ohio's
books, found the books doctored. There
are hints of Journal entries that bear the

of the responsibility.

C.hioH,o, May 88. Mr. W. V. Wat
son's reputation throughout the West
for unerring Judgment in the valuation
of land has made him foremnat among
the most conservative, careful class of
investors iu Chios go.
Unlike many hard driven business
men, the owuer of "Alpine Hotghts."
that splondid suburb of Chicago, has
oot neglected his health on account of
his exacting business. Tbe following
uurequested statement from Mr. Wat
s in shows how consistent with his life
long, careful, conscientious aud success
ful business habits has been his atten
tion to getting well. He states In the
Times-Ueiald:
"Upon the recommendation of a
frieud, I used Paine's oelery compound
for headaches, constipation, Indigestion
And loss of sleep, and found It all it
was reoouimondod to be. I suffer no
uvire from headaches, sleep soundly at
night, and am now in perfect health.
Tnis ts the only niedioine that I have
ever taken for these complaints, whtoh
has benefited me at all.
"W.W.WATSON, 835 Dearborn at-"
Busy men and women are apt to
think there is always time to get well
The fact that only one person In a hun
dred dies of old age shows bow reck
lossly men and women postpone at
tending to their health and allow it to
go to pieces while they devote them
selves heart and soul to affairs that are
.ritliiig in comparison. Wives and
m Uliers have no greater duty than to
o that those dear to thera do not be.
CHiie so absorbed in the work of provid
ing for the household as to lose their
hoitlth and ihortev. their days.
'-No more thoughtful step could be
taken during the apting days that are
now here than to urge snob tired and
often irritable home providers to take
('sine's celery compound. Theie are
thousands of homes where overwork has
Ornamrnta la India,
In India, for the mass of the people,
the purchase of ornaments is almost the
ono form of Indulgence to which a 'muu
who lias made a little money treuts him
self. Ordinurlly tho man who has saved
a few rnpoea does not change the nature
of his fixMl or the style of his clothing,
nor does be invest in articles of furni
ture. What lie does if he is cf a cautious
aud laving nature is to put his rupees
In a hiding place, but if ho Is Inclined
for show he indulges his fancy by put
ting gold or silver ornaments on the per
son t of his wife and children.
Ihese ornaments are the vory lust
things to bo parted with on a reverse of
fortune, and even in the lowest social
deptiis they are not pnt on the market
until tho lust piece of coined money bus
vauishod and no household utensil rf
brass or copper are left with which to
obtain a coin.

This most valuable nervn and brain

demonstrates the lifelong oonvlatlnn of
its eminent discoverer. Professor
Phelps, M. D., LL D , of Dartmouth

long time oonviuoed that sound nutri

and that where there were signs of
poorly nourished nerve tissues, and ot
thin, pale-oolored blood, some means
must be dovlaed to supply these defici
encies briskly and rapidly. Professor
I'helps prepared Paine's oelery oom
pound on this basis. It has proved an

spring purifier, such as the world has
never enjoyed before our day.
