AN ARKANSAS PASTEL.
A Word Picture with a Very Pa-
thetic Toning:.
He sat on a backless wooden chair
in front of his little cabin idly cutting
a “yailer” pine stick with his big jack-
knife. The poorly-cultivated corn was
dry and yellow but he had evidently
not touched it. He was a characteristic
specimen of the men of the section
tall gaunt ragged and yellow.
Eight or ten hounds lay around on
the dusty soil near him.
I drew up my horse.
"Hello!” I said; "we need rain.”
“Mebby” he said.
“You have a pretty good stand of
corn there” I said.
“Yep” he said languidly.
“Abcut time you were getting it in
don’t you think?” 1 asked.
“Mebby.”
“When do you think you will harvest
it? Y’ou couldn’t have better weather.”
“Dunno.”
“Now look here” 1 said. “You have
a fair crop of corn there. Why don’t
you get to work and take it in. 1 sup-
pose like all the rest of you you will
let your wife do it?”
“Nope.”
“Well it is a wonder. And you don’t
know when you will go to work at it?”
“Nope.”
“And you are not going to make your
wife do it?”
“Nope.”
“Well I’m glad to hear that anyway.
I never saw people who were as will-
ing to let their wives do all the hard
work as you men out here. You make
their lives one long worry and sor-
row—”
He got up and came over to the fence
and leaned his arms on it. The eight
or ten dogs followed him.
“Miss” he said slowly “yer mean
all right. 1 calkerlate 1 know what
yeY drivin’ at an’ 1 reckon I desarve
it but jest don’t go on ter day. I
feel kinder played out ter-day.”
He pointed to the cabin with bis open
knife. “Yer see” he said “my old
woman is in there dead!”
When I looked back at the turn of
the road he was sitting on the broken
chair and one of the hounds had its
head in his lap and he had his face
buried in the soft hide of the hound's
neck. —Ellis Parker Butler in the Yel-
low Book.

—lt is estimated that the nerves with
branches and minute ramifications con-
necting with the brain exceed 10000-
000.
—lt is said that in the sandy deserts
of Arabia whirling winds Bometimeß
excavate pits 200 feet In depth and ex-
tending down to the harder stratum on
which the great bed of sand rests.
—ln a communication to the Paris
academy of science M. Grehant says
that the surface of cast iron kept at a
red heat is capable of transforming car-
bonic acid into carbonic oxide —that is
into a poisonous gas.
—lt has been demonstrated that
while there Is no especial difficulty in
using petroleum as a fuel for locomo-
tives there would be trouble in obtain-
ing a supply of the fuel. It has been
estimated that the entire petroleum
supply of the country would not fur-
nish fuel enough for the use of the loco-
motives employed on the Pennsylvania
and New York Central systems alone.
The Baltimore & Ohio South Western
Railway company has changed its din-
ing car system from table d'hote to a
la carte with the result it is said of in-
creased profits better service and great-
er satisfaction on the part of the
patrons. The cars are open for busi-
ness during the entire time they are on
the train and the innovation seems to
have met with the approval of the pas-
sengers.
There are large tracts of coal lands
near Meyersdale Pa. on the Baltimore
& Ohio railroad which capitalists are
beginuiug to develop. A new road
about five miles long has been pushed
into this region and will soon be ready
for operation. It is one of a number of
small lines that are being built by out-
side parties to develop hitherto inac-
cessible tracts of both coal and timber
lands in Pennsylvania and West Vir-
ginia.
DOWN THE CHILKAT PASS.
Tuck Up Your Clothes Sit Down on the
Snow and Slide—Time One Mlnnte.
In a letter from E. C. Patterson dated
at Canyon City Alaska January 21
1898 he says:
“This is a great country and I am
glad I came but the living is more than
tough. I was under the impression
that I knew something of camp life
but this is an entirely new experience.
I am located at what it is charity to
call Canyon City—a camp where the
Taiya-Klondike Transportation com-
pany boards the men who are working
on its tramway. This is the first day
since my arrival (10th inst.) that I have
seen the sun. It is not extremely cold
(the mercury ranges from zero to 30
degrees above) but it is nearly always
cloudy and the wind blows hard most
of the time.
“A few days ago I went to the summit
of Chilkat pass. From this place (six
miles north of Taiya) it is seven miles
to what is called the foot of the sum-
mit and it seems like 40 when you walk
it; but after so much has been accom-
plished one's troubles have just begun.
The ascent is say 500 feet and almost
straight up. It would be impossible
to make the climb but for the snow
which is on an average 40 feet deep;
this provides a footing and it required
more than an hour for me to make the
summit where a level stretch of about
100 yards intervened before the second
climb much steeper was made which
landed me on the real summit of Chilkat
pass.
“When ready to leave and it was not
long the Indian guide said: ‘Do as I
do’ and proceeded to tuck his clothes
under him seated himself in the snow
on the edge of the slope and away he
went down the side of the mountain.
I followed. The experience was excit-
ing and after crossing the level
plateau took another slide reaching the
bottom in less than a minute while it
had required more than an hour to
mount. In watching a man descend it
looks for all the world like a cloud of
snow shooting down the mountain and
the victim lands at your feet; such is
the Chilkat pass. Two men were frozen
to death on the summit last week.” —
N. Y. Sun.
Don’t.
Don’t think it is disgraceful to tumble
to your faults.
Don't think that every man who asks
your advice really wants it.
Don't put on too many airs as you
float down life’s stream; your little boat
may capsize.
Don’t get the idea into your head that
you can pull yourself out of trouble
with a corkscrew.
Don’t rely on the promise of a toper
simply because he has the reputation of
being a full filler.
Don’t be hasty in jumping at a conclu-
sion. You may not be able to collect
your accident policy. .
Don’t imagine that the man in the
orchestra chair gets a better show for
his money than the boy in the gallery.
—Chicago Evening News.
Flakes Like.
It is not unusual at the Aquarium to
see in a tank the fishes all together side
by side and heads in line like a platoon
or section of men. They remain thus
for a considerable time. Most fishes are
gregarious they keep together in
schools in the water and here they
seem to keep together for company's
sake. Sometimes all the fishes in a
tank but one will be lined up in this
way side by side and headed in one di-
rection while the single fish will be
back of the others and headed the
other way. Then the suggestion of
soldiers conveyed to the mind by the
fishes in line is strengthened. For the
single fish seems to be a rear guard
looking out for the enemy in that di-
rection.—N. Y. Sun.
