Six years ago tho baggage depart ment the Northern 1'acifio road issued and order that no goats could bo trans ported in baggago cars. A peculiat incident brought about the geueral order. A goat had been placed in a baggage car that was bound for th Pueiiie coast. During tho trip the animal had oaten the leather straps fiat hold tho brass checks to the trunk. When Portland was reached tho checka were all on tho floor of the car and there was no way of identify ing tho truuks. It took nearly throe months to straighten out tho tangle and tho general order w&s issued. Tho rule has uever boon disobeyed until tho last few weeks. C. 13. Stone, city ticket ageut of the Northern Pacilio ticket ollico in St. Paul, generally makes contracts with traveling shows that pass ovet tho road. He hud an Uuclo Tom's Cabin company recently, with blood hounds and a donkey, that was booked iu towns along the road. Among tho properties of the show were a ntnall wagon in which were seated two goats that were used to give a parade. Con trary to orders, agent Stouo took tho goats ami had them put iu a baggugo car with the bloodhounds aud the donkey. In the same cur were two bicycles belonging to a mau and his w ife. Dur ing tho ni;;ht the goats dined on veri table wind pudding, for they ate up tho pneiimatio tires of the bicycle anil chewed the cork handles for a dessert. The owiicrsof the bicycles filed a claim with tho company. The claim was re ferred to the baggage department. When it reached agent Stone there wan a copy of the prohibitory order attached to it, with instructions that the ono who was responsible for tho violation of tho rules should pay the, claim of gill). Agent. Stone will "dig up" a portion of his monthly stipend to settle with the claimants. Minne apolis Times. Preserving Wooden I'osls. Posts for telegraph service are pre pared iu Switzerland by a process that commends itself for cheapness and in ventiveness. On a skeleton frame work of wood, standing something like tweuty-tive or thirty feet nbovo the ground, is a tank with a capacity of about two hundred gallons. From this a pipe falls to within two or threo feet of tho ground where it joins a cluster of pipes, each having a cup, to the centre of which the pipu is at tached. The poles ure placed oil nil inclined plane, the larger ends up, then on each is clamped 0110 of these caps, so arranged that no liquid can escape except through the libers of tho wood. Troughs aro placed underneath them to catch drippings, nnd a solution of sulphato of copper descends from the tank through these pi lies. There is sufficient fall to pro duce a pro-suro which drives tho solu tion through tho wood. As it drips out at the smaller and lower ends of the poles it is gathered and roturnod to tho tank. When Huflieietitly satur ated tho poles are dried. Tho chemi cal has so penetrated the wood as to render it much more durable than by any other known process. Lodger. Novel Ilcailacho Cure. Tho latest euro Htiggosted for tho ro lief of headacho is a hair cut. A cor t tin physieiin iu London has met with great success lately iu his treat ment of persistent cases of "nervous" headaches, aud ho has liually disclosed tho secret. In each case, ho says, after tho pa tient had laid bare a long talo of woo of sleepless nights aud miserable iltiys ho prescribed briefly, a simple hair cut. It is not necessary that tho hair should be cropped off short, after tho fashion of convicts. Tho curative property of tho troat mont is based on tho fact that tho tubo which is coutained iu each single hair is severed iu tho process, and tho brain "bleeds," as tho birbers say, thereby opening a safety valvo for tho con gested cranium. A commeutor iu tho London society press, in referring to this cure, says: "Try the euro when next attacked by headache, and, if the result be cot satisfactory, rest assured that is not tho fault of the prescription, but that the head is so wooden that it woodou't act.

A companion and I, on 1111 Au gust day not long sine-, pitched our ,-unip at a spring on the table lauds of !ho ridge d.viding Ojul from Santa 'Jla ra Valley. About the spring stands i large grove of oaks. Iu one of these not far from the tent door a pair of woodpecker had, for years, uo doubt, made their dwelling place. Some what shy of us at first, the birds in a tew days paid little attention to our 'ireseiice. It 1ms frequently amused us of a sultry afternoon ns we lounged upon the buffalo robt s laid oil the shaded grass to observe the birds, with whose labors the warmth appealed to have little to do. We had camped there a week or ten lays when before daylight one morn ing we heard a commotion about the iioino of our staid neighbors. Our at-l.-ulion was attracted by their shrill uutcries and the whirr of their wings iinotig the branches overhead. It had no sooner grown light enough to see than we pushed back the tlap of the tent door, and peered out to ascertain the cause of the disturbance. It soon became apparent thai a little lecoloto or ground owl, at tho ap proach of day had taken lodgings iu the hollow occupied by the woi dpei' v:s, to their Consternation. Hut the return of day brought courago to the rightful owners, nud they resolutely 'jet about liuding means to eject the invader. They tried bluiliing awhile about the only aperture to tho hollow tree, but to little purpose other than to cause tho tecolato to peck at them when they appeared to bo about to thrust themselves iu. At last, liuding that neither throats nor entreaties were likely to bo effective and resolved that if they wcro to bo deprived of their homo it would bo the last of that tyrannical owl, tho woodpeckers brought prescutly from another part of the grove an oak ball of the size of the aperture, and driv ing it tightly into tho hole, withdrew lo another hollow tree, leaving the bird of prey hermetically sealed up. After several days, when we started to return to San lbieuaventurii, the Hull was still 111 tin: hole' and the wood peckers, settled iu their new h.me, were going about their business as il thcro had never been a tecolato. .Buf falo Express.

Experience proved that drinking largo quantities of cold water after violent exorcise, especially while cruising iu tho tropics, caused many deaths. The water tanks on thi batteship were designed to prevent such indiscretion. The water tanks on tho vessel aro connected witli innumerable little rubber hoses and on tho end of each hose is a small rubber nipple.

Dtroit Free Press, AN EMERGENCY MAN A Day With the Vice President of the United States. A Great Office Without Influ ence or Patronage. The vice presidency is essentially an oflioo of dignity. No other olliee un der the government, so highly es teemed ns that of tho vice president of the United States, has such lofty pos sibilities for its occupant, while at the same timo being so utterly bereft of influence either to wield patrouago or to affect legislation. Iho vice presidency re quires a man fitted to till tho highest ollico under the government, one whoso broad in formation wiii make him equal to cop ing with any national qae.-tioii that might come before Congic-s, nnd whoso iufonnicioii and position among 111011 would q oiiify him to preside over the conservative brunch of Con gress. He is an emergency man. Should death remove the president, It is he iihu is culled upon to occupy the While Hoti-c. Should there be a tie in the vote of the Senate, he, then, has the deciding vote, but, except iu this emergency, he is without itdleiico to affect legislation. While tho i-poukcr of the House of R present at ives as signs all the representatives to places on committees, nnd iu that way vir tually determines what legislation shall be enacted, the vice president, not being a member of the Senate, hu -nothing to do with the lorur.tioii oi committees, and is not even admitted to the c incus -s uf his party, in which, if that parly has a majority, committee assignments 111 o determined nud the p diey of tho p trty is then mapped out. The patrouago of tho vice president contests in tie- appointment of a sec retary, a messenger, a telegraph oper ator and a telegrapher's p a e. That is all. The j residii g ullic r uf the senate oecupiiM a hu els on ' room, opening 011 the senate lo'ib; , nnd In is accorded all the respect which goes with his high oilie ', the chief function of which is to preside over the de liberations of the United States Sen ate. IJeeauso of the peculiar character of the duties of the vice president, tin daily routine of his lif-i is very dill", r- o:it from that of a Unite. 1 States Suna- tor. His social life iu Washington is just w hat he choosei to make it. His invitations would not be disregarded by any one iu uflidu! or social life here, but whether he entertain much or little is a matter purely within li s own pi asure. Wild.- certain social fundi. ns are a part of tho oflieiul duties of the president, the vice presi dent is free to entertain or Hot, as he sees fit. The duties of the vice president do not require him to burn any midnight oil iu the consideration of public questions. He has ample opportunity to keep himself informed on all mat ters that come before Congress by being a good listener and he has 110 occasion to prepare any speech for de livery iu the S.uate. Ho is relieved from all committee work, of course, Olid even the task of presiding over tho Seuate is rendered an easy one because of the fact that that body is a very docile one to govern, and is not fraught with the perplexing par liamentary problems that are con stantly occurring iu the House of Rep resentatives. The fact that the Sen ate is so largely run by "courtisy" makes it an easy body to preside over. Perhaps no man couuecle.l wiih the United States Seuate is so apt to la bored as is th-.' v. eo president. With out power to intlii 'iie.! legislation, Ida oflieo being such that even any sug gestion from him would be apt to be regarded as au unwarranted interfer ence, bo is yet obliged to attend the sessions of the Sen-it-i daily, and to recogni.o this or that one who hap pens to have a bill lo present or a sug tioti to m nke. From l'i until 2 o'clock is known in tho Senate us "the morning hour,'' and during that time all the business of introducing bills, making reports from committees, presentiii,; petitions and memorials, etc., is done. Tlu- vico president is seldom absent from the chair during the "morning hour," but when that expires the "regular business" is taken up, which practi cally means a continuation of speak ing on tho ponding bill. Then the vico president has an opportunity to leave tho Seuato, which he does if there is not iu prospect sumo very in teresting debate which he wishes to hear. He seeks his private olliee, wh-f-e ho frequently holds a recopl ion, for his friends know the hour when he at leisure nnd can see them. He generally is on hand when the Senate adjourns, und then ho lias nothing iu tho nature of oflieiul duties to occupy bis attention until the day on w hich the Senate is next to meet.

A young lieutenant of the cavalry guards.who has considerable property, was sent w ith six men to ive.. mooter 111 the direction in which Ins regiment was to advance. Arriving at a bridge eros.sing the Stettin highroad, he fas tened a board across, writing upon it with chalk these words, "This bridge ,s blown up," signing il with his name. After this heroic exploit he retired a little ways and treated his command and himself to au excellent breakfast, iu which several bottles of liquor played 1111 important part. Tired from th : ri lo on the hot dayi tho little c .111111 ni l, utter that repast, took a rest along the wall of a cciuc near by, allowing tin. hm-ses to graze. Iu the meantime, however, an in fantry regiment of the enemy h i I ar rived at the bridge, mul its command er wrote aunt her one, which read: "This bridge is built up again." The cavalry patrol w. re discovered and found asleep. The colonel of the reg iment ordered their horses and arms taken away, allowing ill- in to continue n their slumber. Of course, when tlieynwoke, a few hours atterwaid, and niada their way back to their own c unman 1, w ithout being able to give au account of what hid become of iheir horses, subeis nud puns, there was great consternation among them.

A L ike City, Fni., correspondent of tho Jacksonville Times-Union says: John Allen, a farmer iu this county, reports that some six weeks ago a boy in his neighborh ) .d, about, six years of age, stuck an mango thorn iuto his hip, which inflamed until the boy was terribly fevered and swollen from head to foot.
