wuen i nwoue it was snowing last and tne
darknejs so Intense that we could not see
a hand before us. I called to Eric ho was
"driving and asked if all was well. To
which the answer came .back halt dead-
ened by tho thick atmosphere 'Wtll' well
but for God's sake try to koen awake."
So I mused inystlf and sat up knowing
that sleep in that bitter night nlr might
mean death. Of any other fear I liad.no
thought when suddenly I heard another
s und come up with tho wind a long-
drawn hollow moan. Twice or thrice It
came at intervals this weird noise each
time nearer and more distinct. The third
thno the ponies nlo heard It for thev
Bprang forward with an Impetus that al-
most shook mo out of tho carriage.
Frightened I said to Eric "What oh 1
what Is that?" And tho answer came
back fhort and stern "The. Salten

Then began that terriblo chase "for dear
life" which though wo should livo for
twice our allotted time wo could never
forget. Swiftly we sped along our stecdi
impelled by a terror as great us our own
until they appeared almost tolly. Breath-

was at best a forlorn hope. Quickly I

tho poor animal galloped off with the
ravenous pack after It. A few strides only

A Yery Curious Fact.
1 Ono of tho objections to tho construction
of a railroad from the Missouri to the Pa-
cific when that project was flist an-
nounced was tho barrenness of a large por-
tion of the country through which tlio
road would pass. Tho "alkali district"
through 'Which tho Unloir Pacific Is lo-
cated was specially mentioned ns beyond
all hope or rendering productive. This
statement was admitted to bo true by the
friends of the enterprise and the va-t ex-
tent of country known as the " alkali dis
trict" was regarded. as utterly worthless.
tor agricultural purposes. it is true tnai
some oxDeriments. made bv nrmv ofllcers
1n 'cultivating this alkali'sbil proved Uiat
rue nrsi crop oi vegctaDles grown upon
such land were so 6trongly flavored with
Salerarus that beets when dried and
ground made a very fair baking-powder
but the second crop oontaincd but a slight
trace of tho alkali while a third crop was
entirely free from it. This was the only
experiment that we have seen which indi-
cated the possibility of converting these
barren alkaline lands into fertile Ileitis.
" But now comes tho astounding discov-
ery that since tho railroad lira been built
and operated these bad lands this soil
impregnated with saleratus arobecoming
ereen with wholesome and nutritious
grasses upon "which thchcrds of J;ho plains
feed and grow fat. The reasonable pros-
pect Is thaf: these desolate plains arc now
undergoing a change which will soon fit
them for all agricultural purposes. There
Seems; as yet. to be no scientific explana
tion 'of tills remarkable transition from ut-
tcn barrenness to exuberant fertility. The
only theory given Is that tho railroad has
produced the ehahsrc I flow the Iron track
and the passing trains have wrought this
wonderful change is not included In tfiis
development theory. No" other or better
reason being ready for.usc the wonderful
phenomenon Is set down to he Influence of
the iron rails and the locomotive. .
But tho. theory 'of change as produced
by the railroad upon sterile land is backed
un by a precedent which it is claimed Is
afforded by the construction of the Hanni-
bal and St. Joseph Itallroad. The lands
alone the lino of that road at thellmcit
was located wero held to bo worthless for
agricultural purposes anu it was only
from the advantages which tho lino pre-
sented in securing n largo through busi-
ness that tho location was considered at
all justifiable. 'The project wits one which
Eastern capitalists indorsed' while- W'cht-
rn men wno Knew the country considered
It destitute of any advantages -so Tar as lo
cal tratlic was concerned. The road'was
built und. after belnar In operation a 'few
years tho character of tho soil along.tho
lino seemed to change and from being

creasing No other reason for this change
In tho character of the soil is given thun
the influenco produced by tho railroad.
There is no explanation of tho process but
the fact is held to be conclusive.
If it be true that a railroad makes fruit-
ful tho barren soil a new Influence not
heretofore realized Is to bo classed among
Its advantages. It would seem that the

A Singular Story.
Ocorgo fifth Enrl of Wlntoun possessed
excellent abilities but from .nts catly
years ho displayed strange eccentricities of
character. Homo fonijly ml! Understand-
ings caused hhn to leave homo whllo a
mcro youth and to spend several years In
Franco where ho hired himself as bellows-
blower In tho workshop of n blacksmith.
It was n queer whim; but .such oddities
occur In tlio aristocracy. A lato Earl of
Aberdeen It will bo recollected sank his
high rank nnd princely fortuno nnd be-
came an obscuro nnd toiling sailor in a
merchant vessel In which position ho was
unhappily drowned. Young Seton was of
this sort. Ills folblo was a lore of bellows-
blowing In which ho excelled. It Is a
poor art but reaulrcs tact to blow slowly
ftrmly and with regularity. With this
overpowering fancy tho young nobleman
did not disdain to tako a hand nt the ham-
mer and fllo and occasionally wielding
theso Implements under tho instructions
of tho blacksmith ho workcdwlth might
and main as If Ills means of exist-
ence depended on his physical exertions.
Wo expect that eccentricities of this
kind may sometimes arise from 'tho pleas-
ure of baffling tho researches of perplexed
and almost heart broken trclallons. The
family nt home hi their palace at Seton.

hearing nothing of him gavo him up as

On tho death of his father tho'next heir
taking for granted that tho young Earl
was dead was proceeding to take posses-
sion of tho I nhcrltance v. hen ho suddenly
appeared claimed and inudo good his
rights. It was afterward ascertained that
a confidential servant in tho family kept
him acquainted with what was taking
place and had Bent him intelligence of his
father's death. . .
The Seton family had always been noted
for their loyalty and their attachment to
tl.o old Church and George tlio fifth earl
inclined firmly to tho political leanings of
his ancestors. He was living peacefully at
Seton Palace when the rebellion In 1715
broko out. Probably 'ho would In any
circumstances have taken part In the in-
surrection but his doing so was hastened
if not absolutely caused by a body or the
Lothian militia who forcibly entered and
rifled his house ns alleged through pri-
vate plquo and revenge. The most sacred
places as lie said did not cscnpo their fliry
and resentment. Tht-y broko Into ills
chapel defaced the monuments of his an-
cestors desecrated their sepulchres ton
out the remains of the bodies nnd treated
them In u barbarous manner. This un-
provoked brutalltv-.which. met with no
check from tho authorities determined
the earl to to throw himself Into thoxause
of the Insurgents." 'If wKa from the first a
hopeless adienture and badly carried out.
Tho Earl of Wlntoun and other rebel lords
rendered themselves prlsoncrs'at Preston.
and were carried to Loriuon fj?r trial for
iliuu irmisuii. . j.
The trial of tho Earl:of Wmtoun took
place nt the bar of tho Hoyjje of Lords
audi vlfh tedious formalities lasted from
the 15th to tlio lOfh of "March 1710. Ilif
lordship ulcaded not guilty and In his dc-
feuso urged certain extenuating clrcufn-
stances which wero deemed unavailing.
Tho principal witness against him was
tne- Key. "irouert Patten "who as n
chaplain had taken part in the insurrec
tion and lived to write its history.
At the trial of tho Earl' of .Wlntoun he
cut a poor figure as king's evidence. It
was clear from what he stated that al-
though tho earl only took what might be
called n mild part of the rebellion tlio fact
of being present with a drawn sword on
several occasions when tho Pretender was
proclaimed was sufllclcnt to prove his com-
plicity In tho affair. Being found guilty
ho was condemned to return to the Tower
and then taken to the plice of execution
to bo hanged beheaded nnd quartered.
Ho was accordingly removed tdwi apart
ment In. thu Tower with the prospect of
naving oniy a snort time to live.
The period of his contlnement however
limited. was notsppntiniiiienrss. Tiirougn
tho ingenuity of his wife thoEarl of Nlths-
dale was smuggled out of the Tower on
the night previous to the morning as-
signed for his execution. The Earl of
Wlntoun was equally fortunate in escap-
ing his doom through the mechanical skill
which' ho had acquired while working as a
blacksmith in France. '"Being secretly
furnished with files and other instruments
by a trusty servant he sawed through the
Iron bars of his window and dropping td

Tho San Francisco Call thus treats of a
subject which has n digtcridf Interest In
these hard times when thieves have so
multiplied :
Nearly every day wo.takq up our morn-
ing paper now wo read of somo itnfortu-
nato having been burglarized.1 Crlmo is n
disease and like many other diseases ap-
pears to be epidemical. To any ono ac-
quainted with tho skill and audacity of tho
class of men who tako to houso-brcaklng
for a living it is a matter of surprise not
that so many ' burglaries nro committed
but that many moro aro not attempted. In
our out districts tho houses' seem to be
actually built with tho Intention of aiding
to the utmost tho cfforts'of ahy person de-
Birous of effecting nn entrance. Verandas
that servo no earthly use run along- tho
front of hundreds of olir houses nnd it
Is quite easy having gained .tho veranda"1
to lift up a wlndow-sash aiutpUttt effect nn
entrance. The locks on thcumajorltyof
those doors aro pf tho poorest description
anuV offer llttlo or no resistance to tho bur-
glar. Many people when they lock their
door nt night liavo a hrtbit 'deleaving
the key in tho lock under the Impression
that It will prevent nny person using a
pick or skeleton Iter to oncn lho door and
so it will. But In this caso the thief uses
neither ol tho instruments no intro
duces into tho key-holo a very strong
thotin-li lhrht. forr.ena. and seizin? tho ex
tremity of tho key opens tho' door with a
slnsrle turn of his wrist. .Then. If you
leave n key in th- lock let It bo ono that
uoes not open tne uoor.
TUB BUROLAn'S TOOLS. '.
There Is but little difference between tho
tools of a first-class burglar and thoso of
an honest locksmith for tho latter Is often
called upon to pick looks and to open
safes when keys aro lost and
tlmo is pressing. There aro somo
instruments of course such ns a
dark-lantern nnd a revolver-pistol not re-
quired by tho honest tradesman In his
business that arc all Importnntto the pro-
fessional burglar. A first-class outfit
comprises a dark-lantern silent-matches
wax-taper revolver a largo -prunlng-knife
useful for cutting outdoor panels;
a pallettc-knlfe thin and pliant for open-
ing windows (by Insertion between tho
sashes so as to push back the spring-fastening)
a jimmy or small crowbar about n
foot In length nnd splayed of crow-footed
at one end ; skeleton-keys with wards at
each end called "double-cnders ;" wires
to lift lock-tumblers nnd a center-bit.
This is a complete sctof ordinary tools
and may bo carried with ease In a small
carpet-bag. Hall-door locks aro large
massive und usually tako a very largo and
apparently cpmplex-worded key ; but tho
burglar is well aware that many of these
wards are superfluous. If ho wants to
make a key for such a lock' he cuts out a
blank key in tin ono side .o which ho
covers with wax. Wards being simple ob-
structions fixed In the locks ho has only
to carefully Insert tho blank: and turn ft
gently to receive anlmpresstfftof them on
tho wax. From this imnresMon a key Is

length to bo discarded from b inks and
money-houses in favor of tlio lever or
tumbler-lock and the thlePs skeleton keys
found themselves bent to no effect In' en-
deavoring to open them. So the lock-
smith had to bo circumvented bv. fresh
means and tho jack-in-tho box was Invent
ed its odjccd was to lorce tne loetc on or
to rend the caso so that the bolts might
be drawn back. This was accom
plished by inserting a T shaped bolt of
iron in tne locic anu tnen uy menns ot tlio
jack (an adaptation of the principle of tne
lever and screw) rending open tho lock.
This plan was prevented by Introducing
very small keys and piscine: the tumblers.
etc. above tho key-hole naving been
defeated for a' long whllo nt the safe-lock
they nt length discovered a new plan
which was to attack the hlngos pressing
them off by means of powerful lovers.
In this manner (lie Bafts 'of a largo firm In
London was' opened and an immense
quantity of valuables stolen. Tho firm
.brought an action against the safe-makers
who had sold them the safe as thief-proof
.to recover damages ; and for the defense
.the burglar who ' had been captured and
sentenced was'piaccu on wo stana ana
deposed that there was no safe made that
rould resist an attack properly made on
its hinges. After tlii trial tho safe-makers
counter-sunk their hinces. and at the pre
sent time .ve may safely say that the thief
nas tno worst ot tne name.
THE rANEL-CDTTER.
After tiio lock has been overcome the
burglar has often to remove door-bolts
To do this it is sometimes necessary to cut
out ono of tho panels. This used to be
effected by men ns of n fine 6aw. No w an
Instrument called a panel-cutter Is used
A strong stem with a giinlo point is
thrust Into tho center of tho panel.
Through'this stem slides a cross-bar car
rying atone extremity a snarp-cuiiiog
tool which can ue adjusted to movo an any
required radius. At the head of the stem
is a doublcd-ormed lover which works tho
whole machine. This instrument will
mako a hole in a few minutes largo enough
to admit tlio burglar's arm or tho body of
a small boy. nnd the door Is quickly un-
fastened. Tho only safeguards aro to have
tho door lined with sheet-Iron or studded
with nails irregularly disposed.

Tho Man With a Horn.
Jacob G rasher n man about thirty years
old has been missing from Jils boarding-
houso on Catharine Street for a week p"ust.
Ho may bo In tho river; ho mny.be hang-
ing to a tree In the "outskirts no ono
knows. About three months ago ha
joined a brass band and took bis horn
homo and practiced .Uh It. Thonelgli-
ttors dldnlt say nnyi hlug nt first but ns
tho "toots" began td thicken people be-
gan to grow ugly. Jacob wa8lnahurry
to learn and ho made n regular business
of blowing that horn from seven o'clock
ln'the morning until ten nt night resting
not moro than two hours. Men nnd wom-
en remonstrated with him. but ho said if
they didn't llko Ids tooting they could
raovonway. The police wcro consulted
but they replied that brass bands wero a
public necessity! Boys throw brickbats
through Jacob's window but ho hitched
his chnlr.around out of range and made
tho old horn scream llko a locomotive'.
Letters threatening his life wcro sent to
him but ho thrust the horn but of tho
window and tooted defiance at tho senders
A few nlorlits niro he started tnrmrn Ar.
belter Hall and that Is tho last seen of
mm. At midnight that night n watchman
at ono of tho saw-mills heard whispers be
hind n lumber pile n splash in the water
and all was still. Catharine Street pre-
serves a quiet blissful peace unbroken by
a toot and Jacob G rasher Is probably
better off no matter what his fitto. De-

Bismarck Aroused.
A corresnondent of tho .London Tele-
graph gives the following picture of BIs-
uiurcK wiiuo speuKiug in ino recent ex-
citing debate In tho German Parliament :
" Never did hunted Hon turn moro savage-
lyI venture to soy tho Impression of
what I saw and heard being still strong
upon me moro terribly than Prlnco Bis-
marck turned on his assailants whom lie
may figuratively bi said to have rendered
into a thousand pieces. His gigantic
frame absolutely trembled with passion ;
his gray eye flashed and his heavy mous-
tache bristled ; a paper ho took up during
his first speech for purpose of reference
vibrated visibly In the passionate grasp of
his slnowy hands and ever and anon his
closely-buttoned uniform became tense
almost to splitting across his huge chest
as he set back his shoulders und threw up
his head regarding his foes with that Im-
placable glance which never falls to shake
the strongest nerves when ho darts It nt
an object of his hatred or contempt. In

been expected to labor under excitement
of tho most vehement description; but.I
havo never yet witnessed the consclou's-
ness of unbounded power expressed in the
physique and bearing of a human being as
1 saw It In Prince Bismarck. As he stood
forward faclncr tho house tho natural
sternness of bis aspect accented by tho
natural rigidity of his military tenue he
looked to me like the incarnation of an
ungovcrnablo will ; llko a Colossus un-
questionably capable of bearing upon his
mighty shoulders cares and responsibili-
ties that would crush common mortals
into powder."
A Hermit who Abhors Women.
Two miles south of Albion says tho
.Rochester (N. Y.) Express lives a very
singular person named Anthony Tripp
an old man bctwren seventy and elchty
years of aire. He lives within a mile and a
half of tho Niagara Falls Railroad yet he
has never seen it nor tho locomotive whoso
whistle he dally hears. For over half a
century he has dwelt by himself doing
all his own household work. Durlnir all
that time no woman has crossed his thresh
old and. Indeed few men. If a woman
approached his premises ho would bar
the doors and tako refuge In the cellar.
With men he would hold no Intercourse
except when absolutely ncceesary or un-
avoidable. Latterly ho seems to havo
taken even a stronger antipathy to his fel-
low creatures hiding himself upon tho ap-
proach of any person. When Anthony
Tripp was about twenty years of ago as tho
story runs bo fell in love with a pretty
neighbor-girl and was engaged to bo mar-
ried to her. But sho was fickle and jilted
him. From that tlmo his life was embit-
tered and ho forswore womankind. .He
was not ono of those who think there arc
as good fish In tho sea as ever wcro caught.
The falseness of this girl partially crazed
him and he has since dwelt apart from
humankind. This should be a warning to
young women never to jilt a lover

A Cnro-for Typhoid Firor.

viz.: Whether tho treatment of fever nl-
most universally adopted throughout
England Is tho most efficacious means of
arresting eradicating' nnd 'curing thoTlls-
caso? Thati thero Is; another .system
worthy of serious .consideration nt tho
hands of tho medical profession at Irirgftj
tho following facts clearly provo :
On my being taken suddenly 111 lastycar
nt Lucerne nndaculu symptoms of-'R
threatened' foyer sotting lnrmy 'frlehas
forthwith called-in Dr. Stolgernvho cn-
joj s a considerable reputation throughout
Switzerland. Ho'ordered mb'ttt'oncoto'
bo what Is called " packed'.' nndion.. my
oxnrcsslnir surprise ho'sald. "I inn thank
ful to tell volt thnt tho doctors In Swltzer-
Jand nnd Germany have at last learned tho
vaiuo oi sitnpio remedial measures. wncn
Bourbakl's array entered Switzerland I
had charge ibf tho fovcr hospital for this
district and out of twenty-lour patients
suffiirlng from typhoid fovcr (two1 Wcro
orougut m aying) i cured twenty-two en
tlrclv bv nnillicatlou of tho wot -heot. J
used neither medicines nor stimulants nnd
tho soldiers cempletcly recovered .their
health in a Very snort tlmo. During tho
Inst eight years this system lias been car-
ried on In tho Basle Hospital with signal
success reducing In a surprising manner
tho death rata In tho fever wards. In pri-
vate practlco I Invariably adopt thlssyB-'
tem. and rarely lose a patient whom I have
treated from tho commencement of tho
fovor. 1 have been particularly successful
In'pucrpcral and scarlet fevers. This sys
tem is now inmost universally nuoptca
throughout Switzerland and Germany."
Through Dr. Steigcr's assiduous attention
nnd packing treatment I .was ablo to re-
sume mv lonrnov In two dnvs.
Now If not trespassing too much on your
vniuauio space may i do auowca to explain
the process nnd the principle?
The Process Ablunket is spread out on
the bed and a sheet wrung out in cold
water placed on tho blanket; tho patient
Is then wrapped up In the sheet nnd tho
blanket tightly packed around tiio.body ;
other blankets aro finally placed brer tlio
patient. In lieu of tho sheet; a towel or
towels may be used depending entirely
on tho oxtcnt.pf fever and the probnblo
rcnctlonary powers of tho patient. Tho
sheet Is renewed every ten. minutes or
quarter of an hour.accordingto tho tem-
perature of the body which Is ascertained
from time to time by placing a thcrraomo-
tcr In tho arm-pit of tho patient. It will
bo found that each shcot will rcduco the
fever from three to Boven degrees This
process is continued f6r about an hour af-
ter which tlio patient Is quickly washed
over for a couplo of minutes either on tho
bed or In a tepid bath; and put back Into
bed. It Is renewed nt lutervals of four 'or
llvo hours until the fever Is 'entirely "sub-
dued which crisis is usually j5ho.TOi by. a
spontaneous outbreak of natural perspira-
tion. By menus of' tho thernioiuotcr tho

2. The PnncivU It is always difficult
to explain In slmplo language n system do-
penuing upon anu inai ougiuw dosiuuicu
by tho laws of science but In plain words
tno wct-sncct-pacic is simpry a cooling
poultice. As Is well-known tho" rationale
of all diseases Is tho determination of blood
In excess to tho Interior of tho body and
tho foundation of all curative processes
ouirht to bo the withdrawal of such blood
for healthy redistribution throughout tho
body. This Is tlio prlnclplo of a poultice and
of tho wet sheet-pack. It withdraws the
heat of fever as generated by accumulated
nioou and it is continuously repeated tm
tho body regains its normal temperature
through a restored equilibrium of circula-
tion. Furthermore tho poison which is
tno cause or an spcciuc iovcrs is mus
made to expend Itself harmlessly without
Involving the body In tho destructive con-
sequences of prolonged febrilo excite-
ment. It has been proved without
doubt that the disease by this system can'
bo arrested and eradicated in the courso of
a few days without rUniiliig-what Is con-
sidered the usual courso of seven fourteen
twenty-one and forty-two days. The sub-
sequent period also of a long convalcs-
ence Is entirely avoided.
It Is at tho urgent request of many
friends that I now venture to mako pub
lic tneso statements ; ana i truer mo med-
ical profession at large toward whom we
nil. owe a ueep uculoi jrruuiuuc win kiuu-
ly accept these suggestions In tho spirit in
which they aro offered.
As a layman I am unable to enter Into
tho medical .and scientific part of' tho
question: but Dr. Stehrcr. of Lucerne.
with whom I have lately been in corres-
pondence has kindly given mo permis
sion rouse nis name anu nny letters ad-
dressed to him on this sub)ect.wUl.lam
sure receive his best attention.
The only apology I can now offer for
this letter Is tlio deep interest 1 havo long
taken In hospital work and thd conviction
that a system so simple in; its application'
and so effective In Its cure when adopted
in such countriWos Germany and Swit-
zerland Is not unworthy tlio. practical
consideration of tho medlcak profession in
England. Miavo tlio honor to 'be jslr

Fences
Tho question of farm fences is becoming
a serious question in other States as well
as In lows In' Maine whero nearly one-
half the State is covered by a pine forest
they aro figuring up tlio annual cost of
fences and Inquiring If there Is'not a bet-
ter way. Mr. I'riucu estimates tbat.iuve
aro 03.050 furms In that Btute which aver-
age COO rods of fence on cadi furmthoTo-
palrs of which average ten cents per rod
per year or $3807000. And lids Is con-
stantly Increasing with tho advance In the
price of wood nnd timber and thoy con-
tend that soon it will become too burden-
some to bear.
Other States ore also looking seriously
to this 'question and it is evident tho. day
Is not distant when a man will not have to
do with his farm as they did frith their
residences in feudal tiroes mako every

and tho law compelling a man to fence
