They monopolized all of the swift ling vessels, and their superior seamanship enabled them to safely weather storms to which honest, hurd-working ships often succumbed, muses the editor of Texas Siftings. We used to wonder where the timber grow from which they constructed those tall, tapering masts, for they could sustain an amount of canvass that would send any other craft to the bot- tom. You never caught a thorough- bred pirate taking in sail during a storm—at least, not in our day. In- stead of that he would shake out every reef there was, from the main yard to the main royal, It is wonderful how much sail an industrious pirate could make in trying to overhaul a prize or get away from a dangerous pursuer. The pirates of our youth was dressed in a velvet suit trimmed with gold lace, and his legs were incased in high-top patent-leather boots, surmounted by gold tassels, His broad, immaculate shirt collar, frilled at the edge, rolled over his jacket, with the significant skull and crosshones embroidered in the cornet by the pir bride, who awaited his return on that beautiful isle of the sea which constituted their bome. Then he wore above his raven locks, that waved so luxuriantly adown his Apolio-like shoulders, a cunnin little scarlet eap with tassel of gold, and a broad barbaric scarf avound his waist was a recoptacle for his trusty pistols and cimeter of ‘Damascus steel, when he could steal one.

If a hen lays soft shelled eggs, give her plenty of gravel. oyster shells ana rushed hones (wh material she needs to make hard egg shells of) and this evil will oftentimes be correctea. Chickens must have plenty of ever- cise or they will not thrive well, If you are compelled to keep your poultry in a small yard you should contrive some plan by which you can keep them at work. On the twenty-fivst,when the chickens are coming out, lgave, the hen to her- self until they ave released. Then wait twenty-four hours yet for the lit- tle ones to get upon ‘their feet before you feed them, « Feed the chickens well, a little at a time and often, and .do not let them stop growing; keep them steadily at it, and you wilt have large, healthy fowls, able to stand the cold by next winter. The most critigal “time for young chicks is the time they drop their downy conts and Before they put on a full dress of feathers. ;At this time they must have the very best of care or they will sometimes drbp dff with but little notice of their 'departure. After the young chicks are fully feathered they are strong enough ‘to"help themselves, and will get along if they have plenty of good food and are kept well sheltered. A breeder must be with his fowls, and attention to detail 18 the work that pays best. As a xule, feed each day resh vegetables aud grain in some form, leaving no want unsupplied. Such food as is rich in albumen will produce the most eggs. It is said in western New York that -a bushel of buckwheat and a bushel of oats will produce a bushel of eggs. If you add fish or animal food in some form, and green stufl every day, the estimate is a sensible one, e The ginuine Angostura Bitters of Dr. 8. G. B.

OTHER ROADS IN A QUANDARY. Probable Effect of the Recent Reduoc- tion in Wheat and Corn Tariff—-The Burlington's Statement. Thought it Was a Bianff. Cricaco, July 5.—[Special Telegram to Tnr Bre.|—Since General Manager Egan, of the Chicago, St.Paul & Kansas City, gave notice that he would apply the low St. Paul commodity rates to Missourl rivor points, the other western roads have united in call- ing the notice a bluff, This imputation seemed to have sticred the management of the Chicago, St. Paul & Kansas City to de- cided action, and notice in writing was give to Chairman Midgley, Thereupon the chair- man issued a call for a meeting next Tues- day for consideration of the subject. Whether or not the Chicagg, St. Paul & Kansas City means business by this notice is not as yet known, but at least three freight agents whe have been at Missouri river points have chunged their minds, and now believe the rates will be made, General Managor Egan, of the Chicago, St. Paul & Kansas City, said as plainly as words cfuld that the rates would be made to Missouri river points, The main hope of the other western roads now is that if tho rates to Missouri river points are reduced, they will not be made the samo as thosoto St. Paul, but materially raised from that tariff. The Wheat and Corn Rates. Cn1oaco, July 5.—[Special Telegram to T Bee.)—The Chicago committee of the Central Trafic association met to-day to dis- cuss the 5 cont reduction on wheat and corn to Baltimore aud Phiiadelphia. Tho Penn- sylvania company gave notice thav it would meet the reduction, while all tho other roads fought for delay. It was finally resolved by a majority to postponio_action until to-mor- row. All the roads believe it will bo nec sary to meet the reduction, and none of them © good reason for delay. The real cause for postponing action lies in the fact that a reduction in through rates must cause a cor- responding reduction to all local points, Probably nine-tenths of the cast bound rain on central trafic roads is for ocal points, ,the vast bulk golng by the lake lihes to the trunk line terminals. Tt is conceded on all hands that any rail reduction posible could not com- mand much traflic, as the rato would be still further lowered by luke lines, "As a conse- quence, the 1oss to the all rail lines by the reduction would be enormous to local points, while the same amount of through business would be carried at reduced rates. A Rate War Threatened. Kaxsas Ciry, July 5.—It was announced to-night that the Wabash has joined with the Alton in a demand that throuch lines from the west to Chicago break bulk on through business, as per the Inter-State Commerce Railway association agreement. Both these roads threaten to solicit busincss on through lines, pay full local rates over them to Kansas City, and carry it from here to Chicago at any rate that, added to the local, will bring t| total down to tho through rate on the through lices. The Rock Island refuses to break bulk, and had announced that it would make any rate between here and Chi that the Alton wanted to make. Unless some agree- ment is reached a lively rate war is exoected. The Burlington's Statemant.

Prince Henri d’Orleans, in his new boolk, describing his adventures in India, gives some interesting descrip- tions of tiger hunting on the back of elephants. In Nepaul, where the tigers abound, nobody hunts them, he says. “*The English let them alone b an expedition of the necessary size is very costly and difficult to organize, and, above all, because they can not obtain permission to enter this inde- pendent state, he natives live on ood terms with the felines, to whom they pay, without protest, an impost levied upon their flocks. Far from an- noying the tigers, they even protect them.” Nati owing perfectly the lniv of u tiger, rofuse to disclose it. They have a superstitious fear of ven- ght be wreaked upon geance which m them t of Nepaul, however, waived local sentiment for a time, and sent the prince a body of native hunters phants in charge of one of the jah's officers, whom the prince s faultless, excopt that he was lized and was too intimately ac- quainted with whisky. The start was made from the border, where a line of pickets was the cnly in- dication of the change of rulers. The spectucle of the troup of elephants in march alfected the prince strongly. His reflections were interrupied by Colonel Parseval, “*Suddenly he said to me with admir- able coolness, ‘There is a tiger before !’ T made as if I had not heard, and, without anyone noticing it, obliqued gently to the right, 50 as to get ahead of the others, 'Que voulez-vous! En chasse, on est egoiste!’ *Soon my elephant gave a blast of his trumpet and in front of the colonal ap- peared an enormous tiger. Nothing could be handsomer than this super! animal, his skin striped with black on a reddish ground, freeing himself with a single bound {rom the grass tufts throe or four metres high. “We expressed our admiration of him by & car aimed sulvo. It merely urged him to a gentle trot. Then I saw nothing but five, for after the discharge of our three rifles the line turned abruptly to the right and a general dis- charge ensued, The smoke raises, A tiger is there. Is1t the same, or isitanother? I have never been able to clear the matter, and I remain per- suaded that the tigers have diabolical relationships. “However this may be,a tiger is there, moving freely, only 150 meters from us, The pace of the elephant is quickened, For my part I become angry because I cannot hurry my own. He is a large elephant, who continues obsti- nately to maintain his regular step in spite of the blows administered to him from the rear by a mahout detached for this purpose. (Observe alitile the com- plication—oné elephant to carry me and another elephant to carry the man who goads mine!) Fortunately this does not prevent me from again saluting the tiger, but - I am obliged to aim at 200 meters instead of 150, *Itfell, finally, butI was unable to explain how, for, fired at by every one in the line, he had scemed to escape all, It was now necossary, though, to believe otherwise and that the last hour of the animal had sounded. STt was a largo tigress, moasuring 8 foot 9 inches, that we had s\ln'l'm‘«hufln killing. Naturally, comments bogan at once. Some seid thore had been two animals, for we had first fired at a male; others snid there had been but one. M. de Boissy said only thatit was his tiger; ho was suro of it. he doctor examined tho game to find the fatal ball. As for my cousin he had seen the animal roll over - after his shot. I remaned quiet. I do not like discussions, particularly such nas theso. I was singularly compensatod for my silence, for aftora long examina- tion the doctor shouted: “*Who fired the 45-calibre ball?’ ““All remained silent but I, for T had fired four of them. Hurrah! The fatal ball was mino; the tiger was awarded ——— A CAMP IN PARADISE, ful Sights Witnessod by a Party Sxploring Mount Tacoma, Allen C. Mason, the leading business wan of Tacoma, with two other well known merchants, recently ascended Mount Tacoma. Upon their return Mr. Mason was asked what he had seen. Evergthing that is beautiful, grand and sublime in nature,” said he. *‘Be- tween Tacoma and the mountain, fifty five miles distant, miles of as fine codar and fur as grow anywhere in the terri- The timber 11 run from 75,000 ,000 foet to tho acre. Some of the trecs are ns much as twelve feet in diameter, and as straight as it is possi- ble for vegetation to grow. “The underbrushyis primoval in its luxuriance. We stood alongside tho trees on horses and you could see the trunks of them on each side of the horse. In other places the underbrush is 80 thick as to hide the horses, and all that could be seen of the rider would be his head. *Paradise Valley is beautiful almost beyond description. It has been most appropriately numed “There you see the most beautiful varietios of flowers blooming in unlim- ited profusion: and such flowel The are infinitely more beautiful than those seen in the other valleys, which are a sort of species, he trees 1n the valley are flr, cedar 1ce and onk, and other hardy vari- ies above the mountain continue to o up. There are waterfalls and brooks and grand old logs which have been lying there for centuries, I sup- pose, from whose sides other trees, and, of course, smaller trees, are growing. Roots of some of them grow down in each side of tho log and seem to em- _race it. “Weo camped in a charming spot. We sat down where we could toss the matches from our cigar on one side in- to a bank of pure white snow, on the other into a patch of the most gorgeous- ly colo flow We called that Paradise Camp. Tt 18 sometimes calied the Camp in the Clouds. When we reached that height our clothes became birdensome and we stripped off everything except our pants shirts, hats and sho We discarded our guns before that. “The snow is a glittering, glistening white, and very hard on the eyes. Be- fore we began to climb into the snow belt we blackened our faces with cork and put on black caps, which we pulled down over our eyes. Had we not done this we would have been blinded by the brightness of the sun on the snow, and probably ruined our sight.” “Did you get to the summit?”’ “No. Between the Cowlitz and Mes- qually glaciers, which feed these two rivers, is a perpendicular wall of rock. 1t is an impassable barrier. It goes straight up. It is impossible to scale 1t. Jatound on' the outer side, between the glaciers is a narrow path, through which it is possible te malke the ascent, but a man takes his life in his own hands when he makes the attempt. Above is a mass of towering, crumbling rock. It is awful to look at that point and think what might happen, but you can- not help but_admire the grandeur of the sight. The only way to make that ascent with anything like safety is for some sure-footed climber to go ahead and malze a rope fast, then one could pull himself up aiong the side of the rock. We went through to a point from which steam couid be seen issuing from the top.” “How high did vou ascend?” *To a height of 13,050 fect. That is what the aneroid registered. The at mosphere at that height was so thin that we panted for breath. “The altitude at which we shed our surplus clothing was 10,000 feot. I took quite a number of photographs of cones in Paradise Valleyand upthe mountain. Mount Tacoma is, I think, the only mountain in this country which has five 3lac! & From those glaciors water rushes fovover. I have taken pictures of some of the waterfalls, We did not see T coma and commencement bay or Puget sound, bocause wo went up on the other side of the mountain, but we saw the Cascade range strotching v 10 tho southwest as far as the eyc could react and the Columbia river and Olympian range as it runs along the coast. We reached within a quarter of a mile of the top by actual measurement.” Opium and Crime. The statement that of the 338 pris- oners now confined at the House of Cor- rection nearly a hundred ave ‘‘oprum fiends” indicates a close connection be- tween opium and crime. A fow months ago Judge Murphy, in sentencing a iminal, remarked that opium had wrgely taken the place of whisky as the incentive to crime in this city. Such facts show the need of some better restriction on the sale of opium than exists, The trouble secms to be thot the opium, morphine and cocaine busi- ness is too profitable to be given up, and the public interest must suffer, v Prot. Sylvester, who came from Eng- land to be professor of mathematics at Johns Hopkins university, is absent- minded. Calling on friends in Balti- more, he inspected the pictures on the parlor walls, and, coming to two strik- ing-looking ones, asked who they werc “George and Martha Washington. “Ah, friends of the family, I suppos Afterward he remembered that there was a Pather of His Country, and apol- gized, SICK HEADACH Positively Cured b these Little Pills, ‘They alsoreliove D Hearty Eatiog. £ el tect remedy Lo 1 ness, Nausea.

A HUNDRED FAMILIES HOMELESS Fourth of Jaly Fireworks Snpposed to Be the Oause of the Disaster—Holp Needed. Nearly a Olean Sweep. wwro, W, T, July 5.-—Ten blocks of tho best portion of this city are in ashes, Nearly a hundrod famlies aro homeless, and what was yosterday a thriving business cen ter is now a mass of ruins, Owing to the excitement and confusion prevailing it is im- possible to ascertain how the firo originated, but it is presumed it is the result of the col- ebration of tre national holiday. The flames started on the north side of the about 10 o'clock in the oven- and with tho very strong wind blowiag the fire department could do nothing to check their rapid advance. Holp was telegraphed for to noighboring towns, but long before it could roach the scone the flames had literally swept out the heart of the city and commenced to spread among the residences on the south side. It was not until the main portion of the food for the fire had been consumed that there were any signs of abatement, and it was morning beforo the firemen secured any result from thewr efforts. It is estimated the loss will run ub to many hundred thousand dollars. All of the leading hotels, tho Nash opera house block, tho city hall, tho board of trade building, Snipe & Co.’s bank, i fact all the business blocks on Pine and Pearl and Third, Fourth and Fifth stroets were consumed, ex- cepting only the Iirs Nutional bank build- g, Bloomer & O'Connor’s dry goods house, H. Gotzein’s boot and shoe store, oue saloon and ono general store, The number of rosie dences destroyed cannot now be ostimated, but it 18 known thut over n hundred famitios are home and with nothing left save the fow clothes with which they escaped in fiy ing from the advancing flames. Holp has been asked and is badly needed. Later—The loss, so far as can be ascor- tained, is $2,000,000, §750,000 in boildings. and §1,250,000 in goods. There are about one hun- dred and fifty people destitute. The mayor has called a meeting of the citizens to take action for reliof.
