DISARMED WITH A WHIPLASH.
How on Old-Time Stage Driver Sur
prised an Agent of the Hoad.
"There is quite a difference between
staging in the early days of the state
and now," said William Miller, the
owner of the Btage line running from
Caxadero to Ukiah, California.
“When I came here from Boston in
11*511 drifted about a bit, and finally
went into the service of Charles Mc
Laughlin, the man who was after
ward killed by Jerome Cox. He was
the owner of the longest stage line
in California at that time. It ran with
relays from San Jose to Los Angeles.
“1 remember once, in a lonely
coast range canyon through which
the road wound, we had a little ex
perience that was thrilling for the mo
ment. It was about 10 o'clock and a
moonlight night. I was just putting
the horses through. The stage was
full of passengers, and there was a
heavy treasure box.
. "Just as I got around a bend in the
road I saw a figure of a man on horse
back standing by the side of the road,
f He yelled to stop, and I saw a gun
barrel gleam in the moonlight. The
' horses were going at a speed that
might be called breakneck, and I just
made up my mind to take the chance
of getting through. I saw the gun
raised to the fellow’s shoulder as we
approached. I had my long whip in
my hand, and, with a desperation
;! born of peril of the moment, I made a
▼ioious swipe at him.
"I don’t know how it occurred, but
the lash wound itself around the gun.
and as we dashed by the whip was
drawn taut and I knew it had caught,
so held fast I was nearly pulled out
of my seat, but the gun was dragged
from the robber’s hand Mid fell to tho
* 4.w* —. • ■' .*• k '■* • >
ground. At the same time it was dis
charged by the shock. It rattled
along the road for quite a distance
before the whiplash unwound itself.
I don’t know what the highwayman
thought,but I’ll bet he was surprised.”
BRITISH PRISONS.
Treatment Awarded to American Con
victs Unknown Across the Water.
“Convicts who are confined in Amer
ican prisons are allowed many more
comforts and privileges than the same
class of unfortunates in England.”
said Howard L. Abbot of London. “A
man in an English prison is almost as
dead to the world as he would be in
his tomb. Nothing in the way of food
or reading matter can be sent him by
his friends and he is never permitted
to see a newspaper. Only at long in
tervals can he write or receive letters
and he is never allowed to speak un
less he is addressed by an official of
the prison. A prisoner sentenced for
three years may see a visitor once in
three months and he is allowed to
write one letter. To men whose
terms are longer such privileges are
granted less often. For the first
month the prisoner’s bed consists sim
ply of a broad board, raised a few
inches above the floor. He has no
mattress and the bed clothing con
sists of a blanket, pillow, and a
couple of sheets. At the end of a
month, if his conduct has been all
that is required, ho is given a mat
tress three nights a week. Later he
has a mattress five nights a week and
still later, if his deportment con
tinues absolutely perfect, he is al
lowed a mattress every night. His
food is also regulated by the length
of time he remains in prison. He
commences with the poorest and most
i&£i&£i&L!fZ.■ lb,'
meager fare at first, which is gradual
ly changed for that a little better if
his conduct is unexceptionable, but
no matter how well he may conduct
himself his diet never equals that
given to the ordinary prisoner iD
America.”
PAPER POLES.
They Are Lighter, Stiller and Stronger
Than Wooden One*.
One of the latest uses to which pa
per has been turned is the making of
telegraph poles. The paper pulp em
ployed is saturated with a mixture of
borax, tallow and other substances.
The mass is cast in a mold with a
cone in the center, forming a hollow
rod of any desired length, the cross
pieces being held by wooden keys
driven in on either side of the pole.
The paper poles are said to be lighter
and stronger than those of wood
and to be unaffected by the many
weather influences which shorten the
life of a wooden pole.
It is doubtful, however,whether the
paper pole will come to be anything
like a rival to the iron pole, which is
now high in favor for the carrying of
all kinds of wire lines. The value of
iron telegraph poles has been well
tested under the most trying
conditions on the lines between
Europe and India, and again across
arid stretches of country in Australia.
Insects that eat out the core of
everything in the shape of wootl,
leaving the shell only, and bird borers
that drill holes in the toughest of
trees, let the iron poles pass, and
even wandering tribes cannot chop it
up for fire-wood, although down in
Australia they have not yet quite got
over their trick of making arrow
heads of the insulators it carries.
lieech Trees.
The common notion that beech
trees are not struck by lightning so
often as other trees is supported by
experiments made by Joneseo Dim
itrie, who passed the spark of a Haltz
machine through blocks of different
kinds of wood. The spark passed
through oak after one or two revolu
tions of the machine, while five were
required for black poplar and willow,
and from twelve to twenty for beech'
It was found that the difference was
due to the richness in fat. Pine
which is rich in fat in winter but
poor in summer, showed a resistance
corresponding to the time at which it

Will V heat Turn to Cheat?
Some who read this headline will
say “yes" and swear to it, while oth
ers, equally as well acquainted with
the mysterious in agricultural lore,
will declare that “like produce, like”'
and that one species of grain never
sprung from another. There is but
one instance on record in all the
annals of agriculture where a spike
of cheat has been found in a bed of
wheat. This curiosity is. or was quite
recently at least, preserved in the
agricultural museum in Springfield,Ili

A prominent Milwaukee lawyer tvho
has a few peculiarities of his own,
.employs as his stenographer a young
lawyer who has even more peculiari
ties, and some great stories are told
about the:r doings. It is said that
when the employer takes his stenog
rapher into his private offiee to dic
tate a brief they frequently fall into
hot disputes as to the law, and occa
sionally the young lawyer declines to
take down such nonsense as he deems
his employer's utterances to be.
NOT SUPERSTITIOUS.
Bat Queer Things Happened to Him Jnit
the Same.
There is a St Louis gentleman of
uncertain age but with quite an amia
ble disposition, residing {out on a
suburban road, who has a grievance
and he does not cure who knows it
As the story goes this particular West
Ender has a wife and three or four
children, and incidentally everything
else to make him happy. There is
only one fault iu the family—the wife
is very superstitious. She believes in
dreams and signs and omens to the
utter disgust of the head of the family.
The disgusted husband started out
the other night to convince his better
half that there was nothing in dreams
and omens. He turned over the salt
box at the table and did not get
mad; he walked under a stepladder
and was not assassinated; he looked
at a cross-eyed man in a street car
and carried out none of the instruc
tions that would prevent a horrible
disaster; and he did many other
things that caused his wife to believe
that he would certainly die before
morning. He didn’t die, however,but
awoke the next morning with a regu
lar Mr. Bowser smile on his face. He
did not forget to call his wife’s atten
tion to the fact, either, and reminded
her that hereafter he did not want to
hear any more silly talk about "thus
and so” being a sure sign of "such
and such.” The head of the house
left home in a happy frame of mind
that morning; firmly believing that
he had convinced his wife.
He alighted from a car at Locust
and Sixth streets, and, after walking
half a block north on Sixth street,
fell into a cellar. Only one finger
was broken, but he was jolted up in
such a manner as to cause grave un
easiness. While returning home in a
car the car jumped the track, and he
narrowly escaped death. Upon reach
ing his residence he accidentally
tumbled over a baby carriage and re
broke his finger. The following day
he was at hcJme in bed, and while the
ever-comforting wife ministered to
his wants, he never mentioned any
thing about her superstition.
NOT WISE.
The Clergyman Who Invested In a Foil
Parrot.
Poll parrots are very curious birds.
Their powers of mimicry are undis
puted, and he who thinks he can
swear at the bird with impunity and
yet not be made to suffer by Mr. Poll
is not the wisest man in the world, as
is shown by the experience of a cler
gyman who invested in a parrot that
was formerly in the house of a man
known to be not particularly choice
in his language. The story probably
is true, for the bird played
many pranks. This minister
was entertaining some friends
atdinner, whenthe bird de
veloped an unexpected fondness for
insulting the guests and referred in a
sarcastic manner to the large amount
of food the3' were devouring. Finally
the parson was nettled extremely.
He grasped the sinful bird by the
neck and whirled him around and
around.
“There, shut up,” exclaimed the
clergyman.
The bird, once more in the cage,
shook itself until all the feathers
came back into their usual places.
The poll looked at the clergyman
rather frowningly and shouted: “My,
how the wind blew through my whis
kers!”
There is another poll in Philadel
phia that should be placed in the
same class with the minister's. There
are five cats in the house, and Polly
does not like any one of them. Sever
al mornings ago the occupants of the
domicile were aroused by the loud
‘meows” of one of the cats. Going
down stairs they found that Polly had
hold of the cat’s tail. The feline ani
mal was suffering, and at the same
time making strenuous efforts to
scratch out the bird’s eyes.
“Polly, polly, let go and you’ll get
a cracker,” exclaimed the sweet-faced
matron.
The bird gurgled out, still holding
on to the tail: “Don’t want crackers,
want this pussy’s tail, and I am going
to have it.” °
MARRIED CURATES RULED OUT.
Sad State of Affairs in the Established
Church in England#
Marriage seems a great failure in
the case of curates in the church of
England. One of them writes of the
sad lot of his class as follows: “When
vicars in charge of fashionable sub
urban parishes insist on having only
young and unmarried curates it mat
in the opinion of mere worldly men,’
be very nice for the girls, but is it
very good for the church? Why do
married vicars invariably advertise
for unmarried curates? Are their
own marriages all failures?
My case is a common one. I
am a curate and want work. Hut I
am too old, being no less than thirty
seven years, and am married, so, of
course, must stand aside. That I have
enough income to live on is lucky for
me, but does not alter the case. My
father served as a curate nearly all
his life and I thought I might at least
be permitted to do the same, but the
action of the bishops in ordaining men
wholesale during the past twenty-five
years has enabled the majority of
vicars to reject all who, like myself,
are old or married, and so we are left
in the sad position of your humble
servant, who signs himself ‘Out of
work.’”
