Down a Tohogsan Slide.
IJ. Annoy Knox in Texas Sif tings. ..n
In the prow of tlio bigcest toboggaa io
Montrc 1 I sat me down. In a row be
hind mo sat three ladles and two gentle
men. - - !
WAU ready?' , : !
"Yes, ready. " . . t
--Stipl . " - '
Wheesh! ssssh! goes the toboggan.
Down, down the ice slope we go at the
rate of a mile and a quarter a minute. In
the second of time that it takes to flash
down the first dip the heart stands still--there
i3 a feeling of faintnega The sensa
tion i3 something like we have all felt in
dreams, where we fell' from a precipice
down through space to a fearful and vague
abyss below.
We flash past other toboggans on paral
lel sides, for ours is heavily loaded and
goes witn more than the usual velocity.
Whiz past the plodding tobogganers going
up. We so so rapidly that they seem a
solid wall, and the Chinese lanterns look
as if one continuous line of flame.
I have promised the party to give them
a specimen of a Texas yell as we go down.
After passing the second dip I disgorge a
shriek of the largest calibre. When we
are beyonf'-the foot of the slide and slow
ing up far out on the plain below, that fa
miliar cowboy "Cooeo" comes along and
overtakes us. We had actually outrun the
sound of my voice. Don't believe me,
you say? All right Maybe you know
more about tobogganing than I da Per
haps you would like to finish this letter
for me.!
Tobogganing is a new pleasure. It Is
the most exhilarating sensation that any
ono will ever experience until be throws
oil this morta body. I used to think that
theeensatioa of going over a fence on a
good hunter, or following the jack rabbit
on a mustang was the acme of pleasurable
sensation, but now I do not think so. If I
wanted to convert, tho men and women
who live in this no?thefti land, I'd preach
to them that heaven was one long, eternal,
never -ending toboggan slide.

Killing the Hen for the Golden Egg.
Alta California.1
The Nevada eold-seekers have discov
ered a new use For fowls. It is a common
shrht there to see men and women carry-

chickens under the other. When they
reach their destination the hens are pick
eted, and, being already hungry, begin to
scratch and cat. After three or four days'
honest toil they arc killed and their craws
examined for gold. As much as f a has

TEXT JIOOKS.A'O. ,V.
' Sonic cno has said "Let mo mako
the songs of a nation, nnJ I care not
who makes its laws," and so do the
text books of a nation exert a formative
influence upon its character, second to
none. "Nowhere is there more need
for regard to tho "eternal fitness of
things," than in the selection of text
books for our common schools. In no
plape are tho proprieties not to say
decencies, more cruelly outraged,
while the price of school books is often
unreasonably high. It does not at all
meet this criticism to assert it is better
to pay a high price for J a good text
book than a low' price for a poor one
This ib to bui only part of thc-truthr
Good text books ought to be sold at a
much lower price than they "are, as
they arc sold in large quantities, and,
except tho cost ot compilation and
arrangement, their cost can be reduced
to a uniform basis, so that the cost
of production is but a small percentage
of the retail price. ; 1
There am two important items' of ex
pense in the introduct'on of school
books One is the maintenance of a
large force of men to introduce hooka
to committees; and the Other, tho pay
ment of mpney to committees to secure
their good offices in introducing books
into the schools. Both items enter in
to the cost of the book to the scholar
who has to pay this outlay, with a prof
it on it to the publisher. At the same
time the profit to the bookseller is
made unreasonably -small for this! rea
son. Often the matter assumes this

not so -much to be blamed for not lik

ill arranged book. The excellent ma
