A three days' siege was agreed to. A room was onpifrfd and office hours ar ranffed. They were to begin playing at one o'clock in the afternoon and quit promptly at ton. Lunch was served In the room, and a new deck was to teased ,7C Z T 7 t .. -. . beyond a doubt by the officers of theAca of the trio to declare the limit oB at any pulcoonthe trip before the last, when a time.

Don't tail to drive the colt the -first time with a fast walking horse. , Don't sit and talk and let the colts take cold. If you can't keep them go ing blanket them. It never pays to offer a hone tor sale in poor condition. It does not pay to keep a horse in poor condition. If a colt is broken to harness when he is full of life and spirit, he will be more reliable than if handled in the same way when weak and half fed. A little drive every day aids the de velopment of young horses. A long BpvU of idleness in the stall and then a sijverc drive are ruinous to good, mut ch's and must be avoided.

"How do yon mne to these conclusions I" was asked. "Well, let me tell you. Row, every sea faring man who has frequented the port of San Jose, at Guatemala, knows that old Ban JoaeJoehss been In and about that port for the last thirty years. Joe is without ex ception one of the largest sharks ever seen in the waters of the ocean. He Is over was ascertained most every officer whose vessel anchors in those waters takes a whack at him whea he runs his sides and belly upwards, but the bullets don't seem to do him anv ham " "Well, about sis reasoning capacity I" . "Oh, yea.

As to his capacity to stow away grub, that was proved on one occasion when the vessel was taking aboard some hogs.

On another occasion we had a lotot mules on board for the government and one of the number died and was thrown overboard. Joe made the acquaintance at the defunct mule, and after the lapse of six hours the mule was safeiv stowed 'thwart ships in Joe's locker, fee, Joe is the largest shark known to us seafaring men. We have tried to kill the monster by all possible means, but so far have miserably faued." EXPENSE OF TRAVEL. The Keasoa We An Obliged to Par Hif h , Railroad tiaras. The first obvious reason for the differ ence in passenger tares Is a difference in the kind of service rendered, says the forum. Continental Europe pays two thirds as muc& as America or England and gets an inferior- article, ludia pays still lessand gets still lc&h.Tbe difference is seen in both quality and in quantity of "service. In India express trains rarely rnn at a greater speed than twenty-five miles an hour. In Oonnany and France their speed ranges from twenty five iies to.-thirty-flve miles an hour, and- iiraly in exceptional instances is more than forty miles an hour made. In the United States and in England the maximum' speed rises as high as fifty, or, in exceptional instances, sixty miles an hour. With regard to the comfort of the cars in different countries, there is more room for difference of opinion; there can be no doubt that the average traveler in the United States, or even in the English third-class car, fares better than he would in the corresponding class on continental railroads, and in finitely better than the bulk of travel ers in British India. Mo rates, however J would induce an American to oe content with Austrian third-class accommoda tion, -or to tolerate that which is fur nished the average Hindoo traveler. There is a second reason ot even greater importance, though it is less ob vious at first sight This is the differ ence in the number of trains. Taking into account density ot population and amount ot travel, Europe has more trains than India, America or England more: than continental Europe. If there are. five hundred travelers daily who wish to use a certain line In India, the authorities give them but one or two trains a day. They are thus able to seenre very large train loads; and as the tram, rather than the passenger, is the-jmit for many' items ot expense, the .sacrifice ot public convenience in the matter ot hours of travel is a source ot economy for the railroad. For a given number ot people who. can use rail--roads,' Austria provides more trains than India, Oermaty more than Aus tria, England more than Germany, and the United States more than Englani Eacli concession to tne public conven ience in HUB ItlULCI jutuivcu U f r.: which must be paid for somewhere. ., , She Sheita Hn Boaes. , a. woman seventy-one years of age, who has twice expoliated or shed many of the bones from her body, and bad new and sound ones grow in their stead, has, throngh the mediumship of Dr. Bull, of ParxottsvBle, Tonn,, set the ast Tennessee lledical society guess- as to bpw and why she does it (She! is iss Sarah Lms,o1 Coneys Branch,!
