tho Alpino passes in Switzerland, and hns
i pent i!e::ily a month each in the citi-'S of
lxiulon and Paris, tho cst is found to
have be n little more than it would have
'-:-( ii to have continued in tho dull routine
of home life. To be sure, there is the lost
time of 1 ho o who have only salaried ia
cor.ies. Once over here, whilo tho traveler
by ordinary means .f conveyance is do
ba" i::g v. bet her to go second or third class
cr to buy t'ook'u tourist's tickets or tho
i'-gi:l.ir ones, tho wheelman selects an in

ep';:i the manner of going, goes. Besides,
tlu going, instead of ln ing a matter of
great exjK-iise, as it sometimes is by steam
i r horse power, on tho contrary, over tho
perfect roads of Europe, is a means of cn
; r.Uu c:crriso that not only does not

the : ;!; i.f I hysir:.l health. After nearly

liut as to the cost, so far, in dollars and
cents. While t he English hotels are, as
a rule, I think, more expensive than those
on the continent, yet iu either case, my
expenses did not average over $3 a day.
Iu fact, through Belgium and Germany
they were but $1 a day. A wheelman
travels so independently that ho is not al
ways obliged to stop over night at the
larger cities, and 1 often couid avoid
them by riding eight or ten miles further
to some email inn. 1 found plenty of good
food and a comfortable bed for half tho
money. - Such a nunlo of traveling does
not ailow of tho putting on of any great
amount of style, but my chief ambition
was to see rather than to be seen of men.
In Londou there are plenty of good, re
spectable, private boarding places to be
f.:nd for 1 or 5:1.23 a day. To Cud
th.-ni one needs only to inquire of some
friend who has made an extended stay in
London, or tu apply to sonio American
living there. I found a good place on
Euston road, within n mile and a half, or
a four cent omnibus ride, of Elect street,
for $7.CU a week. That included tho
room and attendance, a meat breakfast tit
8:olJ and a f jar or livo tourso dinner at
G:20. The luncheon r.t 12, if had, was ex
tra, but it was usually more convenient
to take a light luncheon wherever I hap
pened to be.
It is proveihial that Frenchmen like
Americans better than almost any other

At a meeting of tho bust congiess of
German scientists this subject was dis
cussed, and Ir. II. Frr.nk mentioned that
there are but two ways' to stunulato the
heart electricity and mechanical concus
sion of the heart. Tho lirst is considered
dacgerous by him as it may easily destroy
the last power of contraction remaining
in tho organ. But what is termed "pec
toral concussion" is decidedly preferable.
Dr. Frank's method is as follows: He
flexes the hands on the wrist to an obtuse
angla, places theia both near each other
in the ileoaec.il region, aud makes vigor
ous strokes ia the direction, of the heat
and of the diaphragm. Theso strokes are
repeated from fifteen to twenty times, and
are succeeded by a pause, daring which
he strikes tho chest over the heart re
peatedly with the palm of his Laud. In
favorabla cases this meihod is early suc
cessful, and sometimes a twitching of to
lids cr the angles cf the mouth appears
with surprising rapidity as the Crst sign
of returning life. As soon as these symp
toms are noted, the simple manipulations
above described must be earnestly con
tinued and persevered in from a half to
one hour, for, with their cessation, ' tho
phenomena indicating beginning of return
of life also cease. Generally, the face as
sumes a slight reddish tint, and at tho
same time a faint pulsation may be' felt in
the carotids. By this method Dr. I rank
has seen lifo return in fourteen cases,
among whom were such as had hung them

P MOUNTAIN COJIMKRCE.
STREAMS ARE THE PRINCIPAL HIGH
WAYS IN EASTERN KENTUCKY.
J How the Jlotmtuliieer Gets III Supplies.
J Tiio "IMisti Itoat" anl the Method vt
Nbvigatins It Triv;liiis l"l fctreaui on
tho ms Sandy?
Among tho many novelties which the
stranger finds among the mountains of
eastern Kentucky few will interest a man
of a practical turn of mind more than tho
public highways. The mountain roads,
except where a mountain gap is to bo
crossed, are tho mountain streams. In
consequence thcro is scarcely a cross road
or four corners in this county outsido of
this, the only village in tho county, but
wherever a creek forks or a brook enters
a creek tho road forks.
Under Kentucky law tho county judge
decides where and how new roads shall
be laid out. Tho ordinary mountain road
is laid out six foot wide, and the roadway
proper must bo graded not less than two
feet wide. But Judgo Wagner, of this
county, is an enterprising citizen, who j
desires to improve the country, and in ,
consequence ho has refused to issue anv i
order for a year past for roads loss than
nino feet wide. This may seem narrow to
northern farmers, who lay out privato i
lanes at least a rod wide, but in a country !
where traveling is done on horsehaek, and '
whero tho vehicles for transporting goods j
of pny sort, even in summer, are narrow j
sleds, the niuo foot road is a novelty
which lias set the county to talking.
THE CHEEK BED KOAltS.
Of course there aro necessarih' wagons
wherever logging is done, but tho log
wagon sticks to beds of the st renins,
which aro invariably wide and hollow,
whilo tho public highway winds along the
bank of the stream and runs in tho actual
bed of the stream only where the con
figuration of tho mountain sides on each
bank of the stream makes it necessary.
When tho logging is done no effort i3
mado to keep open the highway formed.
These creek bed roads aro excellent ia
warm weather and low water; iu winter
and spring they aro impassable for weeks.
The creek beds were originally selected
for highways because very little labor was
needed to make a highway out of a creek
bed. There is not such a thing in Pike
county as a big nigger head rock. The
bed3 of tho streams are of sand or sand
stone, and there is never a rapid or water
fall of 6uch descent as to bother a team.
Another very good reason for utilizing
tho creeks as roads was tho fact that all
tho imports and exports of tho mountains
have been necessarily carried ia and out
on tho i ivcrs. Tho mountaineer's supplies
have been brought up from the Ohio river
ever since there was any one on the Ohio
to sell them. As all creeks run by the
easiest and generally tho shortest route to
the rivers, it was natural for tho mount
aineer to follow tho creek down to its
mouth to get his supplies at the stores
which were located aloug tho river.
the "rcsn EOAT."
Tho rivers are not very trustworthy
highways. The steamboats on tho Big
Sandy very often get started up for Pike
ville'iho head of navigation, only to get
stranded on a bar. or to find themselves
left in a pocket between bars uy th sud
den fall of tho water. Out of this uncer
tainty regarding tho length of a steam
boat's journey to and from the headwaters
of ties rivers has grown the craft, very
novel to northern eyes, called the push
bout. Xo better craf t for tho water could
be imagined.
The push boat is a scow 7 feet wide, CO
feet hu:g and 13 inches deep. At one end
is a wkidowlcss houso high enough for a
man to stand upright iu and o'xS feet ia
area. This is the cabin. There is a sort
of a 'jnnrte.'' deck abaft tho houso, and
above 'this sweeps the tiller end of a long
steering oar, which the pilot wields b
walking to and fro on a shelf built half
way up on the stern.
Tho merchandise is piled on three wide
p!ank3 that run, like keels, the length of
the boat, so as to cover a large part of the
boat's bottom; ouc a clear gangway of at
least fifteen inches in width is left aloug
on each side of the merchandise, no mat
ter how groat the load. These gangways
are also floored by jdanks laid bilge-keelson
fashion.
A boat like this will carry twelve to
fifteen tons dead weight of goods on a
draught of eight inches. There aro over
100 oi' them regularly employed on the
Big Sandy, and tho cargoes carried up
consist chiefly of tho goods kept in the
country stores. At certain seasons, par
ticularly in tho fall, down cargoes can bo
had.
SnOVIXQ A HOAT.
When the boat is loaded the skipper
limbs to his shelf and grasps tho tiller.
The crew of four men cast off the ropes
and pick up their push poles. These
poles are about tea feet long and from an
inch and a half thick at kt upper end
6well to two inches thick at the bottom,
where they are shod with a short pike.
Two of the crew stand on the starboard
bow and two on the port, One behind the
other, and facing aft, place the lower ends
of the push poles on t ho bottom of tho
stream, tho upper ends against their out
board shoulders, and then, throwing their
weight against the poles, they walk aft.
As the poles cannot slip along the bottom,
the boat js forced forward. Tho push
boat is a horizontally acting treadmill.
Of course, the men walk aft on the bilge
planks, which are left clear of merchan
dise, so that they can walk there freely.
It is distressing to a. stranger it makes
him feel as if his own back was about to
break merely to look at the men as they
shove tho boat along; but the Big Sandy
boatmen are a hardy and cheerful' race,
and not only do not fret and chafe over
their toil, but even walk away to the
tune of somo rollicking love song or ditty
which they kayo learned from the favorite
artist of a traveling theatrical troupe at
Catlettsburg.
Tho men get $1 a day each and board.
The day runs from sunrise to sunset, and
ia that timo four men will shovo a boat
from thirteen to fourteen miies up stream
on the Big Sandy. The pilot is usually
the owner of tho boat. Ho gets seventy
five cents a hundred pounds for general
merchandise brought from Catlettsburg
to Pikeville. a distance of 100 miles.
Flour he brings at $1 a barrel. It is only ,
when tho boat has a full cargo and a pros
perous passage, tho boatmen say, that
the push boat owner gets any return on
hi3 investment, which, however, is not
great, for a good boat costs but if 6v or 70.

This blood rod stone has a peculiar slg

gathered here in peace, to worship, dig
the stone and smoke tho calumet Belies
of camps may be traced in great numbers,
by tho stones fdaeed in circles, now nearly
buried from sight, except when prairie
fires sweep over them. Ijcgends say that
a remnant of red men were driven from a
deluge to the top of this rocky crest,
where an eagle bad built her nest, and
that the rising waters swallowed all but
ono maiden, who clung to the eagle for
safety. When the waters receded, tho
Great Spirit found a cliff of rocky warriors
turned into shining jasper I In solemn
wrath ho vowed that henceforth tho tribes
should meet here only in peace, that no
wur whoop should bo heard, no bow and
arrow or tomahawk should bo seen at this
rendezvous, but hereafter the tribes
should assemble hero each .year to wash
oil their war paint iu the hike, bury tho
hatchet and smoke the peace pipe, iu
teken of which tho maiden and war eagle
should sacrifice a milk white biou a rare

Does More Injury Than Ticneflt.
We aro partly bamboozled by tradition.
From our youth up wo aro deafened on all
sides by advice to "read and improve our
minds." Tho inferenco is that tho mind
is improved by reading. But that infer
enco is open to the most serious question.
Tor my part, I should bo willing to hazard
tho statement that twice as many minds
have been injured than have been bene
fited by it, and not a small proportion of
tho former have been made entirely
worthless by tho practice. It is just like
dram drinking it is intellect nal dram
drinking, and "intellectual" is scarcely
tho word to use in that connection.
One reason is, no doubt, that tho drams
in question are, for the most part, of very
inferior stuff. But even if it were of the
be-st stuff imaginable, tho detrimental ef
feet would remain. Tho finest Madeira,
if swallowed in sufficiently copious doses,
will produce delirium tremens; and the
most unexceptional books, if they are
also too numerous, will bring on mental
dyspepsia. The mind becomes a mere
sack to hold other people's ideas, instead
of a machine to generate ideas of its own.
And the ideas thus acquired aro of no use
to it. The mind has lost tho power to
work them into the flesh and blood l
wisdom. They remain a heterogeneous
and incongruous mass. Foreign uu'.toih? i,
whether physical or intellectual, should
ho taken in with discrimination and mod
eration, and thoroughly assimilated.
Unless you need and liko it, you cannot
make t yours; whether you swallow it or
not, it 'really stays outside of you.
Julian Hawthorne jn America.
Tho Mews of London.
A peculiar feature ef London, to b? jhi
with, are the so called mews. The name
ra-.ws originally applied to tho roy:;!
stables, though whether on ac:t!tnt of
the characteristic melody cf tho cats that
congregate around such cstabilslui:exitp.
cr for some more classical cause, has never
been explained. It gradually came to he
adopted for the alleys in the rear of fash
ionable mansions oa which the stables
open, and, in fact, for any sre"t of
stables. Tho Views of London aro s ti net s
stii generis They cut in half the blocks
on which swell residences make a pompous
frontage, and their aspect is as much mere
picturesque and homelike, as it is less im
posing than that of the grimly grand
palaces, of which they are adjuncts.
In the quarters of London in which
aristocracy still lingers, tho mews sttli
preserve much of their old character, and
are the abiding places of stable helpers and
genteel poverty. In the deteriorated parts
of the town they are squalid pud reeking
nests of misery 'and want," whero human
beings harbor like rats and probably of ten
do not see the light of day for years. I
can imagine nothing more horrible uuder
tho sun'than the Whitcchapcl inews, u:i
less it be tho dreadful inner courts and
n i thoroughfares which still further com
plicate tho ramifications of theso n:a;:es cf
misfoi tuiio and yicj?. Ail'rcd Ti-unible in

Carving ItCataurs-nt Steak.
Two young gentlemen a iittl.' tho worse
for wear dropped ia ono Sal nrday eve i::u j
at a ceitaia Clark street restaurant. i.vA,
after consulting tho bill of fare rather
hesitatingly, "ach ordered a birloiu steak
In due course of time the steaks were de
livered to the consignees, and they pro
ceeded to carve them. One of tho young
men angered ihc waiter, aiier repeated
onslaughts on his steak, by calling for ca
ax. Tlie other young mau was calm and
unmoved. After vainly endeavoring to
cut his steak while in a sitting posture
lie sirose, roiled hts '.rtnfc r.n.l feu-; s:id
uddicsssed hid friend 'as follows: "You
just keep your eye on me now. Years ago
1 used to elissect" remains over in a homeo
pathic medical college on tho West Side,
ar.d I'll 'do' this steak if it kills mo. I
am tho great prodissecter. Watch me
and wait foe fka big show!" and the
young physician cleverly separated tho
component parts of both steaks ia a mas
terly manner, although it was plain to be
seen that his incidental remarks had ex
ercised a rather depressing effect upon
tho appetite of his'young friend. Chicago

Why Slio Took Lessons.
Julius Eictiterg, the well known Boston
musician; tells this story of an early ex
perience: ' One day a lady somewhat
advanced in years come to make arrange
ments for taking private lessons ia sing
bug At the end of the second lesson the
teacher felt constrained to tell her that
her ear was not true. She received the
remark very coolly, and at tho next lessoa
Eang as ba'dly as before. "I am afraid,"
said Mr. Eichberg, "that you caa never
learn to 6ing in tune." "Oh, it doesn't
mniter,' was tha' surprising answer.
"Doesn't matter!" said the astonished
teacher.- "No," said the pupil. "Idcn't
care anything about music, but my doctor
said that singing would be tho best thing
for my dyspepsia, and so I decided to take
lessons." New York Sua.
