Tho old Kmperor Ferdinand of Aus

GALLANTS OF FORMER DAYS.
How lli'iiux Sought to nuzzle Knrl-
oiin Kytfi in EiikIIhIi Court.
At the present time, when so much
is said about ostentntlous display, when
tho luxnry of tho country Is compared
with tho luxury of Rome In bor decline,
we may bo partly reassnred by looking
back only one or two or three hundred
yeors. It Is but a century since the
time of Beau Brummol, the exquisite
ness of whose toilet could hardly be
the aim of a modern gentleman. And
the glories of the Pump Room at Bath
lii tho eighteenth century, when Bpou
Nash held sway over social Dngland,
would not be emulated by modern
dressers. Looking a little farther back,
wo seo gallants In whoso effulgence

Sir Walter Raleigh wore a white sat
in pinked vest, close sleeved to the

LOCATING MEN IN SNOWSLIDE.

111 tllC M OlllllllllIN,
Kll Smith is credited with having
saved the liven of twenty-live men ut
Sheep Camp In tho spring of 18!)8 at
the time of the great snowslldc on the
Pyen trail, says the Seattlo I'ost-Intel-llgencer.
It will ho recalled that
sixty-three men were killed by the
slide, most of them suffocating before
rescuers could reach them. Smith was
on the trail several miles below tho
slide. He enmo up three-quarters of
an hour after the tragedy nnd found
the survivors frantically trying to dig
the victims out.
"Give ine that stick," saltl Smith to
a man who had a flat lath-like piece of
wood In his hand.
The stick was turned over to Smith,
who Immediately whittled the end so
that he could Insert It in his mouth nnd
grasp it firmly with his back teeth.
riien he thrust the stick In the snow
nnd held the end In his mouth, appar-
ntly listening. lie repeated the oper
ation at several poInLs In the slide.
Finally he shouted:
"Come! Dig here, quick !"
At a depth of nine feet the rescuers
took out three men, unconscious, hut
allw. Those three men recovered" nnd
were all right by morning.
In the same mnnner Smith pointed
out otlK?r plaecs, which resulted In the
locating of many bodies and tho un
covering In all of twenty-five men
wlKe lives were snred.
"Where did you learn that trick?"
Smith was asked the other day.
"I karned that In Idaho, at Wood
River," said he. "The Indians know
that trick. I guess a wire would Im
hettr than a stick, but they don't keep
wire In stock out In the wilds, so In
dians always use a stick. Ton see, If a
feller is alive you can sort of hear, him
brvatlw1, or I miess It's more like feeling
him breathe. If he Is kicking or mov
ing around you can hear him plain.
You just put tle stick down into the
snow two or three feet and you can
hear a feller breathing, even rf he's
twenty feet fartlHr down."
All IlecoHiilxed Hor.
Tho four old captains of Salt Marsh,
after carefully studying tho attractions
offered by the mind-reader who was
to hold forth in tho town hall, decided
to attend the entertainment
"We can go right from tho postofheo

most adventurous of tho four, "nnd

know. Most likely we sha'n't stay

They were all agreed as to the ad
visability of this plan, and tho next
evening saw them sooted In the hist
