SUCH IS THE GREAT RIO GRANDE, WITH ITS VAGARIES. It b Kivcr of Freakish Habite and Must Be Seen More Than Once to Be Un derstoodFlows Mainly Underground, but at Times There Is a Torrent on Top. "It's a river 1,500 miles long, meas ured in its windings,'? said the man from New Mexico, speaking of the Rio GrandeJ "For a few miles, at its month, light draft steamers ran np irom the gulf of Mexico. Above that it doesn't float a craft except at ferries. In the old days, when New Mexico was a, province of Spain, the people along "the river didn't even have ferryboats, 'and the only way they had of getting across was hy fording. For this purpose a special breed of large horses was reared to be kept at the fords. When the river was too high for these horses to wade across, travelers camped on the bank and wait ed for the waters to subside. Now there are bridges over the river at the larger Rio Grande towns, and in other places , rope ferries and rowboats are the means of crossing. ! , -: ? "In times of low water a stranger seemg its (Current for the first time would be apt to think slightingly of the Rio Bravo del Norte, as the New Mexi cans love toall the great river. Mean dering in a small part of a very wide channel he would see only a little muddy stream, for ordinarily nine-tenths of the Rio Grande is underground, thewater, soaking along toward the gulf , through the'sands beneath its channel. The val ley, bounded everywhere to left and right by mountains or foothills, is sandy,, and the water, percolating .the sands down to hard pan, spreads out on each Bide so that it may always be found anywhere in the valley by digging down to the level of the river's surface. For the greater part of the year, the river above ground flows swift and muddy, narrowing as it swirls round a sand bar and widening over shallows. But the thing' that strikes the stranger most queerly is its" disappearance altogether for reaches," many miles in ; length, of its channel, which, except, it may be, for a water hole here and there, is as dry as Sahara. The river is keeping right along about its business, however, and where a rock reef or clay bed blocks its subterranean current it emerges to the surface and takes a fresh start above ground, running as a big stream which, farther down, may lose itself in the sands again. "It is when the floods come down that the Rio Grande shows why it re quires so big a channel for its all the year round use and demonstrates that if the waterway were even wider it would be an advantage to residents along its banks. It is fed by a watershed of vast area and steep descent, which in times of rain and melting snows pre cipitates the waters rapidly into the channel. In June, when the snow melts on the peaks about it3 headwaters in Colorado and northern New Mexico, and later in the summer, when heavy show ers and cloudbursts are the order of the day," the Rio Grande oversows its banks, deluging wide tracts of valley and sonie times carving a new channel for itself, changing its course for miles.' Where the valley is unusually wide and sandy, . as below Isleta and in the Merilla val ley, the old channels in which the river used to flow are plainly indicated in the landscape. - " 'Np one who has seen the great river in flood is likely to forget the positive ferocity it seems to display as its waters sweep all before them, and woe to the man or beast who is overtaken by them! The flood arrives without warning. The sky may be clear above when the travel er, leisurely jogging across the wide channel, hears his wagon wheels grate upon the sand with a' peculiar sound. It means that the waters are stirring the sands beneath him, and then, if he. knows the river, he lashes his horse, making at all speed for the nearest bank, and lucky he is if he reaches it safe. The chances are that before he gets there' he hears the roaring of waters- up the channel and seesthem coming down toward "him with a front like a wall, rolling forward and downward as if over a f all, with a rising flood behind. ManV a man and 'whole waimn frniTia , have been overwhelmedin this way, and, buried in sands ' or cast away on desert banks, no human eye has ever seen then again. "The great river has its pleasing and romantic aspect, so fascinating that it is a saying among people who live in its' valley that 'whosoever drinks of its wa ters and departs will come again to seek them. Like the Nile, the Rio Grande enriches the soil of its valley to the point of inexhaustible fertility. Along its banks in New Mexico are fields that for two centuries have been cultivated yearly, yielding great crops, and they are as productive today as when they first were tilled. Irrigating canals, call ed acequias madras (mother ditches), convey water from the river to be dis tributed through little gates to the fields of the valley, which it both waters and enriches. A trip along the river reveals a succession of pictures of a primitive civilization of the old Spanish-American type. Adobe villages,' with small, flat roofed houses built about antique churches, and the spacious houses of the vices, or great men; orchards, vineyards, wheatfields and grazing cattle are all features of the scenery of" the Rio Grande, the American Nile.-' New 3f or Jc Sun.

The Telltale Tracks on the Tapestry Ee trayed Hiin. j Four or fivo Washington pastors wer having a pleasant little meeting the other afternoon at the study of one oi them, and they were having compara tively as much fun out of it as that many rounders would have had at a sa loon knee deep in 47 varieties of tipple. They were telling Sunday school stories, as a rule, but " they swung 'around after awhile to temperance. ; i 1 "In my youth in Virginia," said the host, "we had, what is rare-nowadays to wit, a lot of more or less seedy and shabby genteel old fellows 'who went about the country delivering lectures on temperaice and getting out of it only about so much as would clothe and feed them. Some of them were no doubt good and conscientious men, but among them were many who, notwithstanding their profebns, dearly loved to take a glass of something warming to the inner man. . ' 'Most of these tipplers were very par ticular not to have the rumor get abroad jthat they ever tasted the vile stuff, and ,when they took their drinks they ob served great secrecy. I remember there was one whom we thought to be a most abstemious old fellow, and jno one thought he ever tasted a drop, particu larly a maiden aunt of mine who lived with my mother and waa as ; rigid a temperance woman - as ever came out of New England. My mother was much more liberal and wanted always to en tertain these workers in the good cause, but my aunt had become so suspicious of all of them except this particular one that he was the only one who could find a night's lodging at our place. I "One night this old chap tame to stay all night, and he had such a severe cold that my motlTer prescribed a rubbing of goose grea.se on his feet and toasting it in by the fire before he went to bed. Now,, as it happened, in the room where he slept tnere was a new carpet which my aunt had presented to my mother as a birthday gift, and there was ;an old fashioned sideboard in the same room, with a two gallon jug of good whisky on it, whieh somebody had forpotteu to put inside and lork up. At 8 o'clock the black boy carried in the goose grease to our guest and left him sitting before the fire. i "Just what happened after that no body knows, but after the guest had de parted next morning and the servants went to straighten up the room they found tracks innumerable between the fireplace and the sideboard, and in seme way it was discovered that the old fel low, afraid of taking cold, had greased his-socks and toasted the grease into hia feet through them, and "while the toast ing was going on he made-regular and frequent trips to the jug. Of course, if the tracks on the carpet had not betrayed him, no one would have ever noticed by the jug that he had been drinking out of it. He never came back again, and I don't know whether my aunt was more pained over the ruined carpet or over the ruined idoL for she had the greatest confidence in the old man." Washing ton Star. . I DETECTED THE REPEATERS - " w. i Innocent Fishhooks Which Caused Whole, sale Arrest of Voters. : -During the reconstruction times in Alabama, just after the late civil war, all of the state and county offices were administered by the Republicans. .1 This was from 1866 to 1874, when the Dem ocrats again securAl control of the! gov ernment and have held it ever since. The election of George S. Houston, a Democrat, as governor in 1874 was one of the hottest ever held in the state, and many were the tricks practiced on both sides in that election. Possibly the most novel was a device put into operation at Mobile. Repeaters, were common in those days, and this device was used by the Democrats to catch the negroes,-who had learned the repeating trick. All of the negroes voted the Republican ticket then. - i On the election day mentioned the polling places were opened, and the vot ing commenced. The Democratic elec tion officers at the boxes had secured a stock of small fishhooks with which to carry out their new plan. ' Whenever a negro voted, an officer stuck a hook in the voter's vest front, where it could be plainly seen. After having exercised his constitutional right of voting, "CmTy'' proceeded to another polling place and sought to vote a second time. He' was thereupon arrested and put in jail upon a charge of fraud. The scheme worked like a charm. By noon 175 negroes had been arrested and jailed. The whole sale arrests so frightened the negroes who had not voted that they refrained from going to the polls that- day, and the Democrats won the election. Chi cago Times-Herald, i The Whipping Post In Boston. ' Alice Morse Earlei in an article on '.'Punishments of Bygone Days," found in The Chapbook, after giving John Tay lor the Water Poet's rhymed descrip tions of corporal punishment in London, explains how rapidly flogging came into use in Boston: . ; The whipping post was speedily in full force in Boston. At the session of the court held Nov. 80, 1C30, one man was sentenced to be whipped for steal ing a loaf of bread, another for shooting fowl on the Sabbath, another for swear iDg, another for leaving a boat "with out a pylott.'.' Then we read of John Pease that for "stryking his mother and dexyding her he shalbe whipt." Liying,, swearing, taking false toll, perjury, selling rum to the Indians all were punished by whipping. Pions re gard for the Sabbath was fiercely upheld by the support of the whipping post. In 1643, Roger Scott, for "repeated sleep ing on the Lord's day," and for strik ing the person whe waked him from his godiess slumber, was sentenced to be se verely '. whipped. Women were not spared :in public chastisement.

He Held All the Offices For One W Intel and Bather Enjoyed the Experience Though It Is Presumed That He Wai Sometimes a IJttle Loneeome. ' , There is a man in this town' who wai the supreme ruler of the whole county for almost six months. He was a Pool Bah with a vengeance. His name is E. J. Fox, and he is fond of telling how he ran Cavalier county in the'first win ter of its existence. It came about in this way: i 1 Cavalier county had been named, but unorganized, for several years up tc 1884. It consisted of a large strip oJ land, all owned by the government, ly ing west' of the western boundary Imt of Pembina county. About that time P. McHugh of Bathgate was elected at a representative of Pembina county in the legislature, and it occurred to him and to Attorney W. J. Mooney of the same village that it would be well tc organize Cavalier county and add to it the threo ranges in the western part oi Pembina county. Thi3 western part oi Pembina county was very much higher than the rest : of the county, and wat situated, the people said, and say yet, "on the mountain. " So McHugh got o bill through the legislature , defining Cavalier county as it is today. That was in the winter of 1884-5. A courthouse was built at Langdon, which was designated as the county seat, and at the .election in November various coiijity officers were elected. But none of the county officers came tc Langdon to live. It was already a bad winter, and they could see no reason why they should come if there was some one the re to take charge of the records. So they united in asking E. J. Fox, a young man just from Canada, to take charge of tho offices until sum mer. Fox accepted the position, or posi tions, and in December took charge oi the affairs of tho county. The court house was then a large building in fact, too large for use. . Fox decided that it would be better to leave it va--cant until spring, and he took up his abode in a one room "claim shack, " the only other building in town. This wa about 15 by 20 feet in dimensions, and there he lived and did business that winter. He wau- deputy clerk of the courts, county judge, county treasurer, county auditor tad register of deeds. The sheriff lived iu the country and the superintendent of schools lived just across the Manitoba line. The sheriff did not serve out his term, for he was put in jail for shooting a man in a fight There was not another living soul with in two miles. ' Fox lived entirely alone, and did his own cooking, except the bread baking, which was done by a neighbor three miles away. Langdon, though the coun ty scat, was net yet a posteJIice. The postmaster of Olga, in the eastern part of the county, ued to send over a large package of letters and papers about twice a week to the people whom he knew lived near Langdon, and Fox would give to these people their mail when they called for it There was not one settler 40 miles to the west but about 40 and 50 miles northwest, near the Mauitcba line, there were several settlers, and some of these used to drive that great distance to "file" on a home stead or a tree claim. When they did that, Fox had to give them their meals and lodgings, and, in fact, he had often to keep a sort of hoteL ' The winter of 1884-5 was very cold, and at night Fox used often to lie awake and listen to the blizzards howl around his little shack. He was kept busy, however, . for there were many filings,! registering! of mortgages and a few deeds. An average of two or three men would come to see him daily on business, but he seldom saw a woman. Nearly all the settlers near him at that time were bachelors, who afterward went back to Canada to get married; and indeed Fox did the Banie. Every body wa3 poor, and yet they all seemed to enjoy themselves, though they had to haul their wheat from 50 to 75 miles to market ' . The winter passed very swiftly, and in the summer Mooney and McHugh came with their families. Then other settlers began to pour in. Buildings went up, as if by magic, and in a few months there were a postoffice and a dozen dwellings. Talk of a railroad be gan to be heard, and in a few months it came. Then indeed Pooh-Bah Fox had to surrender his glory. He chose to take up the humble position of superin tendent of tho schools of the county and he still retains the place. He is dis posed to think that, in spite of the com forts and conveniences of the present mode of life here, he enjoyed himself more that winter when he was monarch of all the government offices of Cavalier county.

Major General Miles' ThrOllns; Kncoustei With Lsune Deer. Probably the closest call General Miles ever had. in all his experience at an Indian fighter was that in his en counter with Lame Deer. It was in 1877, when he was still a colonel, dur ing his campaign against the Sioux and other hostile tribes in the northwest Lame Deer and his outlaws had been making trouble in Dakota, and Colonel Miles raided their village. He tells the rest of the story in his personal recollec tions thus: j "In the surprise and excitement of the wild onset of the charge a group oi warriors was forced away from the rest Before making the attack I had ordered our Sioux and Cheyenne Indians to call out to the Lame Deer Indians that if they threw down their arms and sur rendered we would spare their lives. As we galloped up to this group of warriors they apparently recognized the purport of the demand and dropped their arms on the ground. In order to assure them of our good will I called out "How how-kola (meaning friend), and ex tended my hand to the chief, Lame Deer, which he grasped, anU in a few seconds more I would have secured him and the others, as, although was wild and trembling with excitement, my adju tant George W. Baird, was doing the same with the head warrior, Iron Star. "Unfortunately just at that time one of our white scouts rode up and joined the group of officers and soldiers with me. He had more enthusiasm than dis cretion and, I presume, desired to insure my safety, as he drew up his rifie and covered the Indian with it. Lame Deer saw this and evidently thought the young scout was going to shoot him. J know of no other motive for his subse quent act than the belkf that he was to be killed whe ther he surreulrred or not As quick as thought, with one des perate, powerful effort, he wrenched hit hand from mine, although I tried tc hold it, and gra.ped his rifle from the ground, ran backward a few steps, rais ed his rifle to hia eye and fired. Seeing his determined face, his sot jaw, wild eye and the open muzzle of his rifle, I realized my danger and instantly whirl ed my horse from him, and in this quick movement the horse slightly settled back upon his haunches. At that moment the rifle flashed within ten feet of me, the bullet whizzed past my breast leaving me unhannCd, but unfortunately killing a brave soldier near my side." Naturally the whole scattered band -of Indians was instantly wiped out by a close and deadly fire from the soldiers. The incident is typical . of the whole series of Indian campaigns in which General Miles figured in the last quarter of a century. The desire to treat the redskins as fellow men,' constantly thwarted by the natural suspicions of the savages themselves, is apparent all through the Look. ORIGIN OF "RESTAURANT." Am Interesting Philological Fact Front France. The French author, Maurice Cabs, re cently published in La Republique Franc aise an essay about the restaurant and caring houses of, Paris, relating many interesting details. His Btory ol how the term "restaurant" was first used is well worth repeating. Fcr a long time inns and eatiug houses iu France were only intende-d fcr the ; benefit of traveling people, for the pec-pie took their meals at home, and restaurant were unknown. The firt enterprise ol the kind was founded in Paris in 1765. A citizen by the name cf Boulangei opened in tho Rue dew I'uulies an eating house where Boup, meat, fowl aiid eggs were sorted. A chronicler relates that meals were served there oa small, round, marble tables, and everything was scru pulously clean. ' j . Over tho entry to this first eating house the proprietor had hung a sign, upon which were the Latin words, "Ve nite ad me omnes quas stomacho labora tis, et ego restaurabo voa" (Come unto mo all ye whose stomachs need at tent ion, and I will restore them). This is a par ody on the well known Biblical quota tion, "Come unto me all ye who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest," only in place of labor and heavy laden he said, "whose stomachs need at r tent ion. The word ' restaurabo, ' from the Latin "restaurare" (restore or re fresh), was the main characteristic of the new establishment and gave it its name. Boulanger amassed a large fortune, for his enterprise proved eminently success ful, but he was soon imitated, sdme of his .imitators becoming more famous than he, like Borel, at whose place 120 years ago meals could be had for 150 francs ($30) per cover. I j Grant and Hancock at a Night Alarm. v When' Hancock's headquarters wore reached, the party remained with him for some time, await in the arrival of the head of Warren's troops. Hancock's wound received at Gettysburg had not thoroughly healed, and he suffered such inconvenience from it when in the sad dle that he had applied for permission to ride in a spring ambulance while on the march and when his troops were not in action. He was reclining upon one of tho seats of the ambulance, convers ing with General Grant who had dis mounted and waa sitting, on the ground with his back against a tree, whittling a stick, when the sound of firing broke forth directly in front Hancock sprang up, seized his sword, which was lying near him, buckled it around his waist and cried, "My horse, my horse 1" The scene was intensely dramatic and re called vividly to the bystanders the cry of Richard HI on the field of Bosworth. Grant listened a moment without chang ing his position or ceasing his whittling : and then remarked: ' They are not fight ing. The firing is all on one side. It takes two sides to start a fight V In a few minutes the firing died away, and it was found that the enemy was not advancing. The incident fairly illus trates the contrast in the temperaments of these two distinguished soldiers. General Horace Porter in Century. Simon S. Hartman, of Tunnel ton, WeBt Va., has been subject to attacks of colic about once a year, and would have to call a doctor and then suffer for about twelve hours as much as some do when they die. He was taken re cently just the same as at other times, and conoluded to try Chamberlain's Cblio, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. He says: "I took one dose of it and it gave me reliefin five minutes, i That is more than any thing, else has ever done for me." For sale by W. A. Les lie & Co.

They go not by thousilnds, but by millions, to rear their young on the tundra. The cause which artracte them is because nowhere in the world does nature provide at the same time and in the same place "such a lavish prodigality of food." That the barren swamp of the tundra should yield a food supply so great as to tempt birds to make journeys of thousands of mile to rear their young in a land of plenty, only to be found beyond the arctic cir cle, seems incredible. The vegetation consists of cranberry, cloudberry and crpwberry bushes. Forced by the per petual sunshine of the arctic summer these bear enormous crops of fruit But the crop is not ripe until the middle and end of the arctic summer, and if the fruit eating birds had to wait until it was ripe they would starve, for they arrive on the very day of the melting of the snow. But each year the snow de scends on its immense crop of ripe fruit before the birds have time to gather it It is then preserved beneath the snow, perfectly fresh and pure," and the melt ing of the snow discloses the bushes with the unconsumed last year's crop hanging pn them or lying, ready, to be eaten, on the ground. The frozen meal stretches across the breadth of Asia. Il never decays and is accessible the mo ment the snow melts. Ages have taught tho birds that they have only to fly to tho arctic circle to find such a store of "-crystallized foods" as will last them till the Lashes are once more forced into bearing by the perpetual sunlight The same heat which frees the fruit bripgf into being the most prolific insect life in the world. The mosquito swarms on the tundra. No European can live there without a veil after the snow melts. - The gun barrels are black with them, and the cloud often obscures the sight Thus the insect eating birds have only to open their mouths to fill them with mosqui toes, and the presence of swarms of ten der warblers, of cliff chaffs, pipits and wagtails in this arctic region is ac counted for. New York Evangelist Prince and Peasant. Prince Christian of Denmark, bad he been only a kingnstead of a prince, would certainly outrival the story of Alfred of old and the cakes. One day he bad to review some troops at Bierre, a country town of small dimensions. Riding home, tired and thirstyhe stop ped at a farmhouse to beg a drink. The old farmer's wife bade him welcome and enter. As the was at the moment pan cake making, the asked him if he would like some. "Very much, indeed," re plied the prince, 'and soon be waa com fortably seated, enjoying his humble fare at the kitchen table. Having finished his meal, he asked tb9 old dame how much he owed her. "Nothing at all," waa the answer. On his persisting that he would prefer pay ing, she patted his shoulder affection ately, saying: 'SYou are a soldier, my son, and soldiers are always 'hard up.! I never take anything from them." He suggested he was not quite so "bard up" as the generality of them. "Ob, I know better!" and with a knowing wink aud a nod she turned to ber pan cake making. "It is quite true, good mother," said the prince, laughing heartily, "fcr, you aee, my grandfather happens to be the king."

INCANDESCENT LAMPS. How the Burned Out Filament Hay lie Replaced and Renewed. It has been generally suppocd to be a fruitless task to attempt the renewal of a burnt out incandescent electric lamp, although there appears to be some eco nomic fallacy involved, in the destruc tion of what is except in one small if important particular a perfect piece cf apparatus. It is not intended, as a rule, to give in this column dejcript.ons cf American devices or achievements drawn from foreign publications. This subject has, however, been taken up by the English journal, Industries anil Iron, and, although it state- that an American -process for rene.jg these lamps after the filament L:is been bro ken has been developed, it does not give the name of inventors nor slate that the process has come into anything like gen eral application. Its deaeription of the operation is therefore given for what it is worth. . It states that a commercial success has been made cf a process for renewing burned out lamps which renders possible the use of the old bulb at a very slight expense. By the new method the collar, or bare end, of the lamp ii not disturb ed, the old filament being removed and the new one placed through a small hole ia the lamp bulb made by removing the tip. The small hole is subsequently clos ed exactly in the same manner as in the case of the new lamp, leaving nothing to indicate in the finished, repaired lamp that it had ever been opened. It is stated that some 400,000 lamps have been repaired by this method, the filament being inserted through the small hole referred to by a skillful twist of the hand and secured in position by a special carbon paste. The black depotdt on the inside of the bulb is removed by fitting the lamp to the holder and re moving it in a gas. furnace, while im mediately following this operation a small glass tube is fused to the opening made in the bulb, through w hie h the lamp is exhausted. When this has been done and the List trace of air and gas absorbed, a blowpipe fLimo i directed upon the throat cf the tube, which is melted into the point exactly in every respect a counterpart cf the original lamp. -Provide nce Journal. The Well Dressed Man. There is a certain prcfessror'in a cer tain university cf tbo United States who once, et the beginning cf one of his lec tures on Cue arts, got on the subject cf the kind of pins worn in the neckties ot young college men. He was a good lec turer and was always interesting, but this lecture -was the most interesting of his course to the 800 boys who. heard him, and the whole hour was fpent on necktie pins, their use and misuse and what they suggested. The gist of what he said was that there was no more reason why. a boy should wear a horse shoe with a whip across it all in gold than that houses should have sieves for roofs, and that as it was extremely foolish to put a big sieve on your houte for a roof so it was quite as fooluh to wear horseshoes on your neckties. The principle of this is that you should have a reason in what yoa wear as well as in other things aud that aenseleaa decora tions, like horseshoes on neck lie ot neckties on horsashoes, are silly and un becoming to a self respecting person. This particular example was only one to illustrate a principle, which is that nothing nnnscal, queer, cnt cf the or dinary, is in itself a good thing that, in fact, most things that are queer anei out of the ordinary are likely, in the question of dress, to be in bad taste. A man 'a dress ought to be quiet but It must be clean and well taken care.cf in every instance. The best dressed man ia the man who, in whatever company he finda himself, ia inconspicuous;-who, yoa realize in an indefinite way, is well appointed, though you cannot well tell why.
