ON THE RANGE. Pecullarities of Cattle That Grow Up in a Wild State. From the Independent. The cowboys on guard took the usual course in such cases; they kept out of the way of the cHarging mass, and galloped on the flanks, mpving toward the head of the column, hoping to “point them off,” as they call it, and start them moving in a circle. The boys whe formed the guard, in galloping along the front of the stampede, saw the eyes of the terrified beeves emit- ting fire, and their tongues protruding. They uttered those low notes of terror so familiar on the plains, and galloped madly along, suffering from a panic for which no real cause existed on earth. “What's the matter with the cattle?” asked a tenderfoot, as he galloped beside an old cowb “They've seen the devil, I expect,” the cowboy replied; ‘and we will catch it be- fore we get through with this thing.” As the herd rushed on their horns rattled together, and all the horns of fifteen thou- sand head of cattle rattling together sounded like an immense concert of casta- nets Cattle are not able to sustain a long run, and this the cowboys know. For instance, @ mad speed of five miles is enough to break down almost any steer; and the cat- tlemen knew how the country lay beyond them, and in this respect they had the ad- vantage. The reinforcement of the cowboys who were oft duty, and who had hastily mount- ed and joined those on watch at the time, gave them a strong advantage in the ef- forts being made to stop the stampede. The plan was to get the cattle to “milling,” or running in a circle. The elder of the Wi son brothers had been a cowboy from childhood. He was riding a cream-colored stallion, and as he passed me he had his Colt’s ‘revolver in his hand. One of the cowboys on a gray horse was able to keep up with him. These two distanced all the s. They rode across the front of the stampede, which is a feat attended with terrific danger; for when a rider is in front of the ruShing Grove of mad cattle, if his horse should stumble and fall, he may be put down as a thing of the past.

Funny Questions That Have to Be Endured and Answered. An amusing account of a dinner in Buda- pest is given In What To Eat for Novem- ber. An American physician was invited to dine at the house of a prominent jour- nalist. He was introduced to an Austrian who, the host whispered proudly, spoke English fluently. “I saw that Mr. ehevary was not at his ease, for his English and reputation were at stake,” ys the doctor. “Our Magyar friends immediately wished us to speak English to each other, and a circle was formed around us, as if we were e fighters ready for the fray. I iow do you dg, Mr. Fehevary?’ ‘Most’ vell, Ab answered bravely. ‘Where did you study English?’ ‘In myself,’ he said with great effort.” The young woman the doctor took out to dinner had come in from the country es- pecially to meet him.

The gentlemen were going to the coffee house to read the papers, and the la- dies would follow in an hour, I was told. Mr. Fehevary kept at a safe distance from me all the time. I saw him handling a pocket dictionary, and knew he was getting loaded with something, for he looked very studious and his lips were moving inces- santly. At last he seemed to have it, for a look of triumph came over his face. We were ready to go. The servants all stood in a row, waiting for a fee. Mr. Fehevary couldn't go to the coffee house—he was too busy—but he followed me to the door, anu in hearing of all the Estetys, the whole newspaper staff and the servant8—male and female—he said triumphantly, as he shook m:; hand: ‘I been enthused to make your gonnec- tions.’ "” <——— A SHARK CRIPPLES A DIVER. Thrilling Experience in Harbor. From the New York World. Andrew Cameron, a deep sea diver, for- merly employed by the English govern- ment, was a Pass¢nger on the steamer Yu- catan which ,arriyed yesterday from Ha- vana and Vera Crug. Cameron was sent to Vera Cruz three ‘mcenths ago by Pearson & Co., an English firm of dock builders who had a contract to build a buikhead in Vera Cruz harbor. While makigg a,submarine examination he had an adventure eighty feet below the surface of the wajer with a ten-foot man- eating shark, as a result of which he will be a cripple for life, being partly paralyzed in his right leg. — “I arrived in Veta Cruz,” he said, “and went to work immediately. Before making my first d@@scent ‘§ asked some Mexican fishermen if there were any sharks in the harbor and Wag told there were a few small ores, hut that they were not man- eaters. No bne had ever heard of any deep-sea sharks cdmning into the harbor. “Satisfied with this information I began my work of diving regularly every day, and tad been working for about six weeks, curefully examining the work on the bulk- heads. During that time I saw a few small sharks, which I frightened away by striking my hammer against the columns. “J made a @ive October 16 and had been working about an hour at a depth of about eighty feet, when I saw a dark shadow over my helmet. Surely, I thought, that cannot be the shadow of my boat at this depth? Then 1 saw the object move and saw I was within two feet of a large man- eating shark. I reached for my knife, which has a blade elghteen inches long. and as the shark ‘sw: over me, almost touching my helmet, I stabbed him in the throat, cutting a deep gash. “For a moment the big fish remained perfectly still, as if stunned, then he began to lash furiously, and the water became crimson with his:bleod. I hugged the piles of the bulkhead as closely as I could to get away from the-fish, I could not move, owing to the heavy weight attached to my shoes. . The shark swam straight for me and rammed me, head on in the right leg. Luckily, it was a glancing blow, and Vera Cruz IF If you wish to learn the state of the weather, you must consult a bar- ometer. If you wish to know the state of your health, your body is a natural barometer. = If you seem to lack energy, and feel tired, there is something the matter with your circulation. If you. are bilous, constipated, dyspeptic, nervous, you need some- thing to tone ‘up your digestive organs. If you feel a sudden cold or chill, bear in mind it may lead to pneu- monia. If you feel any or all of these symptoms, remember that Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is the safest and best thing you can take to get rid of them. There is no other whiskey like it, and nothing else that can possibly take its place. although the shock tore away the heavy ‘ircelsion’ cloth of which my diving cos- tume was made, and almost wrenched my leg off, there were no bones broken. “The shark turned on his back and again came at me with wide-open mouth. I managed to move aside and stabbed him in the belly, and he floated rapidly to the surface. : “I had signaled to my attendant on the beat to be pulled up, but the attendants afterward told me they were busily en- gaged at the time in adjusting the appar- atus and did not notice my signal. I prob- ably owe my life to that fact, for if while fighting the shark I had been pulled away from my position I would surely have lost my legs. “The occupants of the boat saw the shark come to the surface dead, and immediately pulled me up. That saved my life, for I Was too weak to send a signal, and my clothes were full of water, which came through the rent made by the shark. I am now going to England for an opera- tion. ~ Cameyon claims to hold the world’s record for deep-sea diving, having gone 20) feet belcw the surface at Loch Craig, in land, on April 16, to rescue an enginee nd ‘fireman, who were drowned in an accident similar to the recent one on the New York Central at Garrisons. Se ‘AR PATRONAGE. Travel Increases in Facilities, From the Boston Herald. The West End Street Railway Company has carried this year on its various lines 200,000,000 people. What this gain repre- sents may best be judged by taking into acccunt that in the year 1877 the num- ber of people carried by all of the street railway lines now under the West End control was less than 50,000,000, In 1887 the number had increased to over 90,000,000, while new, in 1897, we have over 200,000,000 passengers carried by this railway system. From 1879, when the great gains began, up to 1891, the course of progress was fair- ly constant, and when plotted out,as it was in the report of the rapid transit com- missiun of 1802, it was assumed that the same rate of progress would bring for the year 1897 a carrying capacity of 150,000,- 000, ard that the 200,000,000 point would not be reached until after the year We refer to this plotted chart of prob- able increase of passenger traffic in the future, by following out the lines of pas- senger traffic in the past, as affording an Milustra*ion of the responsive character of this form of business. If the facilities needed are provided, the business appears to grow at almost a geometrical ratio, or, as one good authority has said, it seems, as it were, to spring out of the ground. There is a definite limit that can be placed upon the duty of providing the community with certain classes of service. For ex- ample, the amount of food that a com- munity will consume will increase with the increase in numbers of the community; but even under improved industrial and social conditions, the rate of growth in quantity will rot greatly exceed the rate of growth in added numbers. But with transportation there is no such limitation. Taking the number of people that may be said to be within the range of the service of the West End Company, the gross num- r of annual trips would appear to indi- cate that those so circumstanced had made at least one trip a day. With improved facilities, the average might be a trip and a half or two trips a day; that is, the point has not yet been determined where this form of traffic ceases to grow when in- ducements to growth are offered. +o PRINCETON INN. the Ratio of How the Famous Grill Room Impress- ed an Impartial Visitor. From the Philadelphia Press, So much has been lately said and writ- ten upon the propriety of granting a license to the Princeton Inn, that, upon my receiving an invitation to attend a meeting of the Right Wing Club, in the far-famed grill room, I accepted it grate- fully that I might®pbserve the practical workings of the system upon the students. Upon the evening in question the room was crowded with young men, with now and then the head of a graduate in which gray hairs were beginning to gleam. Some of these older men were called upon to speak during the evening, while college songs were followed with music by the banjo club. I had expected only amusement from the remarks of the speakers, but while they were never heavy, I was pleased to note solid instruction in all. Mr. Lawrence Hutton was the principal speaker of the evening, and upon rising to his feet was heartily cheered by the stu- cent body. His remarks, attentively lis- tened to, were, as befitted the occasion, vather discursive, touching upon the woes of the gentleman farmer and creating not a little amusement by his remarks upon goats as an article of commerce. Mr. Burr MacIntosh, a former Princeton student, made an address largely ethnolog- ical in its trend, and some of the peculiari- ties of the Scotch were deftly- described. During the course of the evening, in re- sponse to repeated calls, he recited most graphically a poem which had sacerdotal celibacy for its theme. The serious mien of the speaker, with his melodious voice, gave unalloyed pleasure to his hearers. A Mr. Dickson was introduced as from Yale, and three hearty Princeton cheers were given, with “Yale, Yale, Yale,” at the end, thus testifying to the good feeling be- tween the universities. This gentleman fol- lowed somewhat the same line taken by Mr. Hutton, giving some of the experiences of the Maine farmer, while at the same time his address was rather literary in tone. with some happy illustrations of the difference between poetry and prose. A light lunch was served, and during the evening there was beer in plenty for ail, but no stronger beverage was served. While all present seemed to have enough to eai and to drink, there was absolutely no intemperance whatever, and these young men could not have behaved more sedately had they been in their own homes. While the party was called together at 8 o'clock, by 11 all were on their way to bed. Surely this is better than the secret drinking which used to obtain in Princeton during the days of prohibition. The oppo- nents of license must not forget that beer is bulky, and that if liquor is to be smug- gled into the town stronger spirits, such as whisky, are much more likely to be chosen. Woerefora, from ‘personal experience, 1 cordially commend the present system, as far better for the student than the old, and, if it 1s the right thing to do, it seems to me that it is right for all good men to aid in the doing of ft. Wheel for ‘the Mikndo’s Son. From the New York Times. In the window of a furniture establish- ment in Reading, Pa., there is a handsome bicycle, made by a local company, by. spe- cial order from the Japanese minister at Washington for the mikado’s son, Crown Prince of Japan. It is elaborately - and beautifully decorated, contains all the lat- est improvements, and, with the heir to the Japanese throne astride, expected to create a sensation in that country. It will shortly be sent to Japan. eeeooreece Seenes ceeee exces Barber & Ross. Defy the Cold Keep the house warm!
