I UNITED AT THE LAST. R& PITIFUL TALE. OF AN EMIGRANT FAMILY THAT PERISHED. The Terrible Blizzard of 1S81 Had for ' Som o of Itt Victims a Whole Family " Which Frozo to Death In Dead Mon's Cove-Heroic Efforts of a Mother. "That's Dead Man's cove right before your eyes," said the old man as he point ed to a recess of half an acre in extent in the southern face of the Little Rocky mountains. "That's Dead Man's cove, and you. kin see the iron work of the wagon lyiu about when ye git closer. When I first looked in here thar was five human bodies lying dead in that ragon. Me an my pard we dug a big grave and buried 'em all together back agin that cliff, thar whar the rocks is. - We piled the rocks that way so the wolves couldn't git at the dead." "But there is no headboard - no names,'11 protested as I rode closer to the spot pointed out. "Couldn't be no names, 'cause we couldnV, find any," he replied, "and them rocks is a gravestun as will last forever. We'll git off and sit down fur a smoke, and'I'll gin ye the full particklers. Tve passed here a hundred times in the last three -years, and it allus gives me the heartache. Poor husband-poor wife poor children! "It was this way," he continued after his pipe was alight. "Me and pard had our shanty down the valley about a mile. Plenty of emigrants in the'r Mv ?ered wagons used to come by this trail and turn south into Wyomin, or keep west into Idaho. They'd ?come five or six families at a time, and they'd come singly. Some of 'em would take sich chances of Injuns, sickness, landslides, s starvashun and death as would make your ha'r stand on end to think of. No man kin begin to guess how many graves thar be of men, women and children be tween the Dakota line and the west branch of the Missouri river. Tve counted a hundred in a day's ride. "Waal, one December mornin me and pard woke up to feel that thar was a blizzard makin ready to bust on us. It had been coolish but pleasant up to that time. We could tell by the feel of things what was comin, and began to git ready fur it. It was jest arter noon when a woman walked into our shanty. She was an emigrant. Right here in this covq she had left her husband and four children to try and find some help. He had bin sick fur three weeks and was little better than a dead man, and she had bin drivinthe team an takin keer of things gener'ly. She orter to hev turned back long before, but some fool of a * doctor had told the man he'd get well if they kept on. "They had got separated from the party they started with, and had made the last hundred miles alone. They war out o' grub, hadn't a match left to build a fire, and the woman knowed a chango fur the wuss was blowin up. * She was a frail, leetle woman, and she had gone through with nuff to down a man, but she hadn't lost all her pluck yit As soon as she told us the story we got ready to go back with her an bring in the outfit. We made a s.tart, but we never got thar." - "The blizzard prevented, eh?" "She did. She came swoopin down all of a sudden, like some great bird droppin from the sky. A fine snow begun to fall, the wind started right in to blow a lavin gale, and I behove the thennom ^Sajoi.Tsynt frorn4?" degs.above to 10clegs. . belowlnside ofTErttarrftrrtrr.-- We-kwh/t any with us, but the change was sudden . an amazin. You couldn't face that gale to save your life. It jest stopped us and ~ turned us around before we had got fif teen rods from the house. As to the cold, it jest paralyzed yon. We had to go back, and arter takin a big drink o' whisky all around and puttin on more clothes we tried it ogin. "Me and Sam was as tough us b'ars ">~vTarem days and could hev laid down in a pond of water and let it freeze up with us, but we couldn't buck agin that buz zard. When we made the second start we got about half way up here, the little woman leadin the way all the time. Then we had to stop. You couldn't see three foot from your nose, and all of us was freezin to death by inches." "And you went back?' . "We did. The woman was deter mined to push on, and we jest had to pick her up and carry her back. It was only by the Lord's hand pintin the way that we ever reached ow-eabin agin. We had our ears, noses and fingers friz, and an hoar arter we got back water friz solid in our cabin within five foot of a roarin fire. The woman prayed to God and appealed to us, but we knowed it was no use. " That was .the blizzard of 1881, and I've heard meivsay it was 42 degs. below zero in this valley that night. The woman got nipped wuss than we did, but her mind was on the family back here. She was bound to. come back alone, but we stood her off till about dark. Then she made a bolt fur it and - got away." "And went to her death?" "Jest as sartin as if she had jumped off that cliff. The blizzard shet ns in fur three days. When we got out we found her within twenty rods of the cabin. She had friz to death goin that fur. Cf course we knowed how it would be up here. The horses had. been on hitched and turned out. They lay over by that tree. The folks in the wagon had crowded together and kivered up with all the blankets, but all war stun '? dead and as hard as rocks. They never saw that fust night come down. "Me and pard overhauled the wagon, but we couldn't find anythin givinthe name of the family, and so, like hun dreds of others out in this kentry of mountain and valley, Injun and wolf, we kivered 'em in to sleep till the Lord gits ready to call 'em fur judgment. Seems awful that a hull fam'ly should be wiped out that way, but they ar' sleepin thar together, and I guess the Lord'll know the spot even if thar is no gravesliun to mark it."-New York Her ald. A VICTIM OF A CORPORATION. How a President and General Manager Was Frozen Oat by His Companions. "Speaking of corporations," said a prominent St. Louis banker, "I recall with painful reminiscence tho first one of which I had tho honor to be a stock holder. It happened in 18C5, and I was just fii'teen years of age. Of course I had no idea that it was really a corpora tion in. which I had invested, but as I look back upon the incident the realiza tioa*ru3hes upon me that I was a victim of corporation methods. "It happened in this way. At a very early age my tendency for mercantile pursuits developed. At school I noticed a very general demand for candy and cakes and an exceedingly limited supply in the markbt. Many of the children possessed coppers and nickels, but it was nearly a milo from the school house to the country town, and tho boys were compelled to forage upon the neighbor ing sugar cane fields and orchards to sat isfy the youthful stomach. After a care ful survey of the market I decided that tho school was confronted by a condi tion, not a theory. "In a few days I had secured the co operation of half a dozen boys, with a capital of thirty cents, in which I held ten cents of the stock, and was conse quently named arf-Jp? i?d'eht aha man ager of the candy fitore which we pro posed to open on the grounds. We found an enormous dead and fallen tree, whose hutt end offered little resistance to om penknives. At noon one day I notified the stockholders that a meeting would he held immediately after school, and at that meeting I, as president and man ager, cut an opening into the dead tree, fashioned a shelf therein and attached a door, while the stockholders looked on in admiration. I then proposed that early in the morning each stockholder should bring with him five cents' worth of candy wherewith to stock the juvenile store. "To my astonishment it was moved and seconded and carried that the candy should be purchased and delivered at once, so that the store might have an early and perfect opening. Tired as 1 was I repaired to the town, invested my ten cents in cheap candy, returned to the school grounds, where already the twilight was making ghostly figures among the trees, and deposited my treas ure in the store. It was quite dark when I reached home, and being unable to ac count for my whereabouts the presi dent and manager went to bed supper less and with a back stinging from the effects of a s%itch liberally applied. Next morning I hastened to the school grounds in order to be first at the cere monies. Imagine my surprise when I found the?e,. seated in a row, all the stockholders. I congratulated them on their interest in the enterprise, and then threw open the door of the candy store. It was empty! "For a moment I was speechless. The stockholders bent their heads and said nothing. They looked suspiciously con tented, and when I intimated that Eome good man among us had gone wrong they were all prepared to prove that a daring burglar had, in the midnight hour, deprived the corporation of its as sets. "Ten years later one of the stockhold ers admitted that he had helped his brethren in disposing of the stock."-St. Louis Republic. Shaving the Beard in Kassia. Peter the Great thought to civilize his savages by making them shave and im posed a tax of 100 rubles on the wealthy and middle classes and a copeck on peasants and laborers. Now it was a superstition among the poorer people that no beardless son of Adam could ever enter he wen, and being obliged to part with their beards the great ma jority treasured np their hairs to be buried with their bodies, In dealing with his soldiers the great Peter enlisted the aid of the priests, who cunningly pointed ont the fact that they were go ing to fight the bearded Turk and that their patron, St. Nicholas, would be un able to distinguish them from their ene mies unless they sacrificed their beards. This was all right, and the beards of the heloved Russians went down before the razor in deference to St. Nicholas. But, unluckily for the priests, the next little war happened to be with the Swedes, who wore no beards, and thus it was that the Russian soldiers de manded to be allowed to abjure the razor, so that the holy Nicholas might have no difficulty in arranging for their protection.-English Illustrated Maga zine. Recent Applications of Paper. The year 1891 was certainly one of those in w'^ch new industrial applica tions 'of paper were most numerous. The idea of using paper in place of stone in the construction of houses is already old, but paper to take the place of glass in windows, of clay in flowerpots, of iron in railway rails, wagon wheels and horseshoes, of porcelain in laboratory ware, of wood in barrels, it having al ready taken the place of that material in small boats, paper in pulleys, are ap plications as novel au bold. The manu facture of window panes of paper was first tried in the United States. The panes have the appearance of milky glass, and the property of inter cepting the light rays while letting the heat rays through, which makes them suitable for greenhouses. It is estimated that a paper windowpane ninety-four by sixty-three centimeters in dimensions in a wooden Bash with iron appliances, will cost about eighty-five cents, and last on an average four years.-E. Ratoin in Popular Science Monthly. Douglas Jerrold in Behool. Douglas Jerrold wrote "Black Eyed Busan" when he waa twenty-one, and contributed to Punch, the immensely popular "Caudle Lectures" not long aft erward. But at nine years of age young Jerrold had been scarcely able to read, and it was not until he was apprenticed to a printer, after serving for some time as a midshipman at sea that he showed either desire or capacity for intellectual improvement.-London Standard. A Clever Reply from s Cracker. A big passenger train full of northern people was temporarily halted in a dreary sand plain where the only object in sight was a woebegone looking cracker sitting on a sand dune busily en gaged in doing nothing. In the train was a "smart Aleck," who thought that he would have some fun. with the cracker. So he put his head out of the window and called out, '-'My friend, this appears to be a pretty fine country you have here." "I reckon," replied the native without looking up. "How much of a population have you in this town?" continued the smart Aleck as he winked at his friends in the car. "Waal," replied the cracker, " "bout 10,000,1 reckon, and nary a fool among them. We did send for one last w?ek as a specimen, but denied ef we thought he'd come so soon."-New York Tribune. Chess in Japan. Not only are there a great number of pieces and moves in Japanese chess, but their value changes; for instance, on reaching the enemy's camp promotion ensues and captured pieces are re-en tered under various conditions. In fact, the game demands, if that were possi ble, more undivided attention than Eu ropean chess, and in its provisions and contingencies, especially the last, is strictly military. The pieces, agreeable to the enrolling of prisoners, are all of one color. Chess has always held considerable position in Japan. It flourished during the shogun ate, and again after the r?volution is being revived. A grand tourney was held not very long ago at Tokio.-Lon j._ * J _ -i_j_ TT ir O routes.

Working Po li tiona in tho Tarions Departments of the National Capital "Without Losing Their Social Standing. Washington is getting to be wom an's paradise. There is no other place in the wide, wide world where women earn as much money, are as independ ent and are as deferentially treated by men as they are in Washington. The influence of women in the affairs of this mighty nation has been a subject of fre quent comment. Many interesting and highly imaginative stories have been told of the woman lobbyist until the discreet wives of most of our migratory states men have taken to traveling around with them, and never under any circum stances let them remain alone amid the temptations of the capital. This is a palpable injustice to the lawgivers, and involves an unnecessary hardship upon the anxious matrons. Li the place of an in^ginaryand ro mantic influence upon the lawmaking of this free for all government there has thus grown up the real and substan tial influence exercised by the ever pres ent and zealous guardian of her hus band's morals. Meanwhile, from being the mender of her lord's socks and torn trousers, the wife of the statesman has some to realize that she can occupy an other and higher sphere in life, and feel ing her power has begun by making all around her feel'it, who in turn emu late her independence. So it comes that from a combination of politics, so ciety bobbing and female domination the women of Washington have estab lished a status for themselves. Should all the men be suddenly called away from the capital for a journey across the Styx there is no legitimate business that would be left without a votary and no profession would fall into decline. Beyond the closing of a few charitable institutions things would re main as they are. Lawsuits would be no fewer or less skillfully conducted; doctors and druggists would still get in their daily work; butchers and bakers and candlestick makers would still be sufficiently numerous; preachers and merchants .would equal the demand; barbers would be more plenty than beards; real estate agents would still be forming pools and combinations and speculating in city and suburban prop erty. An undertaker is about the only thing of importance which would not be found. Thus far the men have that business to themselves. When Spinner opened the departments for the emplyment of women he gave them an opportunity for advancement. The thing has worked itself out now and the female clerk is an established insti tution, so to speak, in good standing, with a fair income-and sometimes a fair face as well-recognized and ap proved of by good society, and in a measure fashionable. Her social stand ing as a class comes perhaps from the fact that she is more often the friend of the wives of statesmen than of the statesmen themselves, those watchful guardians exercising some discretion in the matter of favors to their own sex. Out of this has come the recognition of woman as a self supporting creature, without loss of standing, and not all being able to get into the departments or to always hold places once secured they have invaded other occupations and professions once sacred to the wearers of trousers. Of course female teachers, doctors and lawyers areno longer a nov elty, and a great many have gone into a small private brokerage business. One woman has gone regularly into the real estate, loan, trust and insurances busi ness, and has turned out to be one of the best "businessmen" of the thousand and one who keep their eyes on every foot of ground in and about Washington. She has opened up new subdivisions, formed syndicates and done booming with the best of them. The girls have almost driven young men out of the stenogra phy and typewriting business, and even around the political headquarters, where men only used to be employed, women now outnumber men two to one. The best of it all is that with all this the social status of the xomen remains unchanged; they are still treated with the greatest deference and courtesy, and a "strong minded" woman is a rarity. What would you think to see a shop girl in a tailor made riding habit gallop ing through Central park on a stylish horse? It would not be a common sight. It is not at all uncommon to see parties of shopgirls-salesladies-well dressed and well mounted, riding along the most fashionable drives, looking as stylish and pretty and enjoying themselves as much as the richest daughter of fashion whom they may pass on the road. The girls in some of the larger stores belong to riding clubs and have riding masters who take them out two or three times a week.-Baltimore News. The Old PoUce Tax. The chief authorities of towns in past ages incurred much responsibility. At Ripon we have & good example of their liabilities. Here formerly, after the blowing of a horn at 9 o'clock at night, and until sunrise next morning, if a house were robbed, and the owner and his servants had taken proper precau tions for its safety, the wakeman had to ?lake good the loss sustained. Each hpuseholder paid an annual tax of two pence if he had one door, and fourpence if he had two doora to his dwelling, for maintaining a watch over the city. The tax,has long since been discontinued, but the horn is still blown at night. London Tit-Bits. On the Grand Tour. Stranger-What is the fare to Inter laken? Driver-Twenty francs.

Persons suffering from rheumatism are naturally anxious to try every pro posed remedy. John Raymond, of north am Iowa, had tried without relief nearly avery alleged cure suggested hy friends. Then he read this in a medical journal: "There is more benefit in a good laugh than in the hotwater remedies, the faith cures, the electrio, and all other new treatments in the world, and it costs nothing. If you know of nothing else to laugh at, laugh at your noighbor." Thia was a new idea to poor Mr. Rayr mond. But what should he laugh at? In the house was nothing amusing. However, the medical journal said, "Laugh at your neighbor." He went out on the front porch, and sitting in a chair; watched the people on the streets. Fora time he saw nothing funny. Then a big German walked by, muttering aloud to himself. "Ha, ha, ha!" went Mr. Raymond. The big German stopped and looked. "Vot's dot?" "Ha, ha, ha!" "Vot vor yoiihaw, haw, haw, mit me?' "Ha, ha, hal" Over the fence leaped the big German, his fists uplifted. "Oh!" cried Raymond," "I-I-meant QO harm. I was laughing for my health." "TJnd den you leetle sick Yankees laugh mit big Dutchmen! Dot ish all right. Dot ish von goot shoke on me. Fa, ya, ya!" But Mr. Raymond, who really had not meant to be rudo in the least, gave np the laugh cure, believing that the "shoke" was on himself rather than on the good German.-Youth's Companion. Music as Medicine The one discovery above all others that has made Ambroise Pare famous for all time was the plan, which he waa the first to suggest, of tying tho arteries after the surgical removal of a limb. In one part if his writings ho gives a curious ac count of a case of successful amputa don, in which ho appears to have antici pated one of the latest of modern fads md to have used music as medicine, rho patient had been wounded in battle, rhe famous surgeon took him in hand, mccessfully amputated the limb, using lip new plan of tying the arteries, and :vhen the sufferer began to mend pre icribed what the quain!; English of the translation describes as "a consort of violins and a jester to make him merry.'' [n a month the patient was able to hold Himself up in a chair and was carried lown to the gate of his castle to see the people pass by. A successful issue to such an operation nust have been of .rare occurrence, for ?ve are told that "the country people"~of" .wo or three leagues about, knowing ?hey could see him, came the first day, nale and female, to sing and dance pen nell in joy of his amendment, all being rery glad to see him, which was not done ivithout good laughing and drinking." "The camp being broken up," con ?ludes Pare, "I returned to Paris with ny gentleman, whose leg I had cut off. ! dressed him and God cured him. I lent him to his house merry with his vooden leg, and was content, saying hat he had escaped good cheap not tc lave been miserably burned."-All the fear Round. Water Clocks in China. In the history of the Tang dynasty It s stated that in Persia at the same period here was a clepsydra on a terrace near he palace, formed of abalance contain ng twelve metal balls, one of which fell ; very hour on a bell and thus struck the lours correctly. It is deemed not un ikely that this instrument was identical vi th the celebrated one which the king it Persia sent in the year 807 to Charle nagne. In 898 the astronomer Tsiang produced in improvement on all former instru nents-a machine arranged on a sort of niniature terrace, ten feet high and ch ided into three stories, the works being n the middle. Twelve images of men, ?ne for every hour, appeared in turn bo oro an opening in the terrace. Another et of automata struck the hours and sighths of hours. These figures occupied he lowest story. The upper story was devoted to ag ronomy, containing an orrery in mo ion. Very complex machinery must lave been required. As to the nature if the mechanism nothing is known ex :ept that it was kept going by falling vater. Inasmuch as the Arabs had reached Thina by sea at the close of the Eighth century, some assistance may have been lerived from them in the construction if this complicated instrument, but in ill probability it was wholly Chinese.
