Oh , these dear , delightful pirates of our youthful readiiip , where hnvo they disappeared to ? They monopolized all of the swift sailing' vessels , and their superior seamanship enabled thorn to safely weather storms to which honest , hard-working ships often succumbed , muses the editor of Texas Sittings. \Vo used to wonder whore the timber prow from winch they constructed these tall , tapering masts , for they could sustain mi amount of canvass that would sand any other craft to the bet tom. You never caught a thorough bred pirate talcing in sail during a storm at least , not in our day. In stead of that he would shako 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 n prize or got away from a dangerous pursuer. The pirates of our youth was dressed in a velvet suit trimmed with gold lace , and his logs we're 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 crossboncs embroidered in the corner by the plrnto's bride , who awaited his return on that beautiful isle of the sea which constituted their homo. Thou ho were above his raven locks , that waved so luxuriantly adown his Apollo-liUo shoulders , n cunning little scarlet cap with tnssol of gold , and a broad barbaric scarf around his waist was a. receptacle for his trusty pistols and clmetcr of 'Damascus stool , when ho could steal ono.

The Nebraska Farmer contains the followinr suggestions on the subject of poultry raising : Keep your chickens out of the "dew o' mornings. " and never place them where they will bo obliged to bo ex posed to the midsummer sun in the miduloof the day. If a hen lays soft shelled eggs , give her plenty of gravel , oyster shells ana crushed bones ( which material she needs to make hard egg shells of ) and this evil will oftentimes bo corrected. Chickens must have plenty of ovor- ciso 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 thotwouty-flj'sl\yhon the chickens nro coming out , lo yoj the hen to her self until they n.rp ( released. Then wait twenty-four hours yet for the lit tle ones to got Upon Hhoir feet before you feed them.

OTHER ROADS IN A QUANDARY. Probable ISffoot of the Keoont Reduc tion In Whom nnd Corn TnrlfT The Burlington's Statement. Thoucht It Wan n Bluff. CnicAoo , July B. [ Special Telegram to TUP BnE.l Since General Manager Kann , of the Chicago , St.Pnul ft ICnnsas City , gave notice that ho would apply the low St. Paul commodity rates to Missouri river points , the other western roads have united in callIng - Ing the notlco n bluff , This imputation seemed to have stirred the management of the Chicago , St. Paul & Kansas City to de cided action , nnd notlco In writing was given to Chairman Mtdgloy. Thereupon the chair man Issued a call for n meeting lioxt Tues day for consideration of the subject. Whether or not the Chicago , St. Paul & , ICnnsas City means business by this notice is not as yet known , but .at least thrco freight agents who have been nt Missouri river points have changed their minds , and now bollovo tbo rules will bo made. General Manager Kgan , of the Chicago , St. Paul , t Kansas City , said as plainly us words ctttild that the rates would bo made to Missouri river points. The main hope of the other western roads noxv Is that it the rates to Missouri river points nro reduced , they will not bo mndu the sumo as these to St. Paul , but materially raised from that tariff. Thn AVlioat und Corn Kntcn. CHICAGO , .luly S. [ Special Telegram to Tun Bin. : ] The Chicago committee of the Central Trafllc association mot to-day to dis cuss the 5 cent reduction on wheat nnd corn to Baltimore nud Philadelphia. The Penn sylvania company gave notlco that it would meet the reduction , while all the other roads fought for delay. It wus Hnalfy resolved by a majority to postpone action until to-mor row. All the roads believe It will bo neces sary to meet the reduction , and uono of thorn give good reason for delay. The real cause for postponing action lies In the fact that n reduction In through rates must cause a cor responding reduction to all local points. Probably nine-tenths of the east bound grain on central truffle roads is for local points. , the vast bulk going by the lalto lines to the trunk line terminals. It 3s conceded on all hands that any rail reduction possible could not com mand much tr.illlc , as the rate would bo still further lowered by lake lines , As a consequence quence , the loss to the alt rail lines by the reduction would bo enormous to local points , while the same amount of through business would bo carried at reduced rates. A flato War Threatened. KANSAS CITY , July G. It was announced to-night that the Wabash has joined with the Alton in a demand that through lines from the west to Chicago break bulk on through business , as per the Intcr-Stato Commerce Hallway association agreement. Both these roads threaten to solicit business on through lines , pay full local rates over them to Kansas City , and carry it from hero to Chicago at any rate that , added to the local , will bring the total down to the through rate on the through litos. The Uock Island refuses to break bulk , nnd has announced that it would make any rate between hero and Chicago that the Alton wanted to make. Unless some agree ment is reached a lively rate war is uxocctod. The I'urllniiton'H Kt.atemnnt. CHICAGO , July 5.

Prince Henri d'Orleans , in his new book , describing nis adventures in India , gives some interesting descrip tions of tiger hunting on the back of elephants. In Nopaui , whore the tigers abound , nobody hunts them , ho says. ' The English lot them ulono because an expedition of the necessary size is very costly and ditllcult to organize , nnd , above till , because they can not obtain permission to enter this inde pendent suite. The natives live on good terms with the felines , to whom they pay , without protest , an impost levied upon their Hook * . Fur from an noying the tigers , they oven protect them. Natives , knowing perfectly the lah'ofa tiger , refuse to disclose it. They have a superstitious fear of ven geance which might bo wreaked upon them. " The government of Nopaui , however , waived local sentiment for a time , and sent the prince a body of native hunters on elephants in charge of one of the maharajah's olllcors , whom the prince said wus faultless , except that ho was too civilized and was too intimately ac quainted with whisky. The start was made from the border , where a line of pickets was the only in dication of the change of rulers. The spectacle of the troup of elephants in march affected the prince strongly. His rollections were interrupted by Colonel Parsoval , "Suddenly ho said to mo with ail mi r- , able coolness , 'Thoro is a tiger before us ! ' I made as if I had not heard , und , without anyone noticing it , obliqued gently to the right , so us to got ahead of the others. 'Quo vouloz-vousl En chasse , on nst ogolstol' "Soon my elephant gave a blast of his trumpet nnd in front of the colonal ap peared an enormous tiger. Nothing could bo handsomer than this superb animal , his skin striped with black on a reddish ground , freeing himself with n single bound from the grass tufts throe or four metres high. " 'Wo expressed our admiration of him by a carefully aimed sulvo. It merely urged him to a gentle trot. Then I saw nothing but fire , for after the discharge of our throa rifles the line turned abruptly to the right and a general dis charge ensued. The smoke raises. "A tiger is thoro. Is it the same , or is it unothorV I have never boon able to clear the matter , and I remain per suaded that the tigers have diabolical relationships. "However this may bo , a tiger is there , moving freely , only 150 motors from us , Tbo pace ot the elephant is quickened , For my part I become angry because I cannot hurry my own. Ho is a largo elephant , who continues obsti nately to maintain his regular step in spite of the blows administered to him from the roar by a mahout detached for this purpose. ' ( Observe a little the com plication ono elephant to carry mo and another elephant to carry the man who goads mine ! ) Fortunately this does not prevent mo from again saluting the tiger , but I am obliged to aim at 200 motors instead of 150. "It foil , llnally , but I was unable to explain how , for , fired at by every ono In the line , ho had seemed to cscauo nil , It was now necessary , though , to believe otherwise nnd that the last hour of the animal hud sounded , "It was n largo tigress , measuring 8 foot 0 Inches , tlmt wo had Buccoodouln hilling. Naturally , comments began nt once. Some said there had boon two animals , for wo had first fired nt n male ; others said there had boon but ono. M. do Bolssy said only that It was his tiger ; ho waa euro of it. "Tho doctor examined the game to find the fatal ball. As for my cousin ho had soon the animal roll over-after his shot. I remained quiot. I do netlike like discussions , particularly such as these. I wan singularly compensated for my silence , for after a long examina tion the doctor Bhoutod : " 'Who fired -15-cnltbro ball1 "All remained silent but I , for I had fired four of thorn. Hurrah 1 The fatal ball was mine ; the tiger was awarded mo. " * A CAMP IN PARADISE. Beautiful Splits Witnessed by n 1'nrty KxplorliiK Mount Tnuonin , Alton C. Tslason , the leading business man of Tacoma , with two other well known merchants , recently ascended Mount Tnoomn. Upon their return Mr. Mason was nskcd wtiat ho had soon. "Everything that is beautiful , grand and sublime in nature , " said ho. "Bo- tweon Tacoma and the mountain , fifty- five miles distant , miles of as flue cedar and fur as grow anywhere in the terri tory. Tlio timber will run from 7o,000 to 125,001) ) foot to the acre. Some ot the trees are as much ns twelve feet in diameter , and as straight as it is possi ble for vegetation to grow. "Tho uiulorbrush'is primeval in its luxuriance. Wo stood alongside the trees on horses and you could see the trunks of them on each side of the horse. In other places the underbrush is so thick as to hide the horses , and all that could bo soon of the rider would bo his head. "Paradise Valley is beautiful almost beyond description. It has boon most appropriately named. ' There you see the most beautiful varieties of llowcrs blooming in unlim ited profusion : and such lloworsl They are infinitely moro beautiful than these scon in the other valleys , which are a sort of species * "The trees in the valley are fir , cedar , spruce and oak , and other hardy vari eties nbovo the mountain continue to rife up. There nro waterfalls and brooks and grand old logs which have boon lying there for centurion , 1 sup pose , from whoso sides other trees , and , of course , smaller trees , nro growing. Roots of some of them grow down in each side of the log and seem to cm- _ , race it. "Wo camped In a charming spot. Wo sat down whore wo could toss the matches from our oigar on one side in to a bank of pure white snow , on the other into a patch of the most gorgeous ly colored flowers. "Wo called that Paradise Camp. It is sometimes called the Camp in the Clouds. When we reached that height our clothes became burdensome nnd wo stripped off everything except our pants , shirts , hats and shoes. Wo discarded our guns before that. "Tho snow is a glittering , glisteninc white , and very hard on the eyes. Before fore wo began to climb into the snow bolt wo blackened our faces with cork and put on black caps , which wo pulled down over our eyes. Had wo not done this wo 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 G'owlitz and Mos- qually glaciers , which feed these two rivera , is a perpendicular wall of rock. It is an impassable barrier. It goes straight up. It is impossible to scale it. "Around on the outer side , between the glaciers is a narrow path , through which it is possible to make the ascent , but a man takes his life in his own hands when ho 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 thu 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 malio n rope fast , then one could pull himself up along the side of the rock. Wo went through to a point from which steam could' bo soon issuing from the top. " "How high did you ascend ? " "To a height of 13,050 foot. That is what the aneroid registered. The atmosphere _ mosphore nt that height was so thin that wo panted for breath. 'The altitude at which wo shed our surplus'clotliiiig was 10,000 foot. I took quite 11 number of photographs of cones in Paradise Valloy.aud up the mountain. Mount Tacoma in , I think , the only mountain in this country which has five glaciers. "From those glaciers water rushes forever. I have taken pictures of borne of the waterfalls. We did not bee Ta coma and commencement bay or Puget sound , because wo wont up on the other side of the mountain , but wo saw the Cascade range stretching away to the south west ns far as the eye could reach , and the Columbia river and Olympian range as it runs along the coast. Wo reached within a quarter of a mile of the top by actual measurement. " Opium nnd Crime , The statement that of the 338 pris oners now confined at the House of Cor rection'nearly a hundred are "opium fiends" indicates a close connection be tween opium and crime. A few months ago Judge Murphy , in sentencing a criminal , remarked that opium had largely taken the place of whisky as the incentive to crime in this city. Such facts show the need of some hotter restriction on the sale of opium than exists. The trouble scorns to bo that the opium , morphine and cocaine busi ness is too prolltablo to bo given up , and the public interest must suitor. Proi. Sylvester , who came from Eng land to bo professor of mathematics nt Johns Hopkins university , is absent- minded. Calling on friends in Haiti- moro , ho inspected the pictures on the parlor wnlln , and , coming to two strik ing-looking ones , asked who they woro. "Goorgo and Martha Washington.

A HUNDRED FAMILIES HOMELESS fourth oT July Fireworks Supposed to Ho thn Cause of the Disaster Help Ncoilcd. Ncnrly n Glunn Sweep. Ei.uNsnuno , W. T. , July 6. Ton blocki of the best portion of this city are In nshoa. Nearly n hundro'd families are homeless , and what was yesterday n thriving business cen ter Is now n mass of ruins. Owing to the excitement and confusion provnlhnglt is Im posslblo to ascertain how the fire originated , but It Is presumed It Is the result of the celebration - obration of tro national holiday. The llamos started on the north Mdo of the city about 10 o'cloelr In the evenIng - Ing , nud with the very strong wind blowing the flro department could do nothing to check their rapid advance. Help was telegraphed for to neighboring towns , but long before It could ro.icn the ncoiio the fiaiucs had literally swept out the heart of the city and commenced to spread among the residences on the south sldo. It was not until the main portion of the food for the llro had been consumed that there were any signs of abatement , and It was morning before the flromon secured any result from their efforts. It is estimated the loss will run un to many hundred thousand dollars. All of the leading hotels , the Nash opera house block , the city hall , the board of trade building , Snipe ft Co.'s bank , in fact all the business blocks on Pine and Pearl and Third , Fourth and Fifth streets were consumed , ex cepting only the First National bank build ing. Bloomer & O'Connor's dry goods house , H. Ootzoin'a boot imd shoo store , nuo saloon and oiio general store. The number of resi dences destroyed cannot now bo estimated , but It is known Unit over a hundred families are homeless mid with nothing loft save the few clothes with which they escaped in ( ly ing from the advancing flames. Help has been nskcd and la badly needed. Later The loss , so far as can bo ascer tained , is fcJ.OOO.OJU , (750,000 In buildings , and $1,350,000 in goods. There are about one hun dred and ilfty people destitute. The mayor nan called a mooting of the citizens to take action for relief. The city is undet patrol and order prevails.
