IN THE WAKE OF THE SWALLOWS. Continued from First Page.

Yellowstone could in many respects claim advantages, and which, instead of being 2,500 miles at least from the "Hub of the Universe," or a little less from New York, could be reached from that latter city in twenty-four hours. For a letter posted me at Madison Square yes. torday, at 2 o'clock, reached me at this botel at 2 o'clock today!,

Asheville, a congregation of 12,000 inbabliants, nestles In a sort of cup a mile or two away and presents some as- tonishing features to the traveler. It re- minds me somewhat of my feelings when I arrived at Golden, Colorado, which af- ter a series of similar loops and whirls, filghts and bird like liftings of the rail. way came into sight-acity in the hollow of buge bills, out of sight and bearing of the world, a nnu, a novice, an innocent village malden, one world suppose-but no! Bless me! Exquisite costumes, fine equipagea, tigers and footmen, dainty and elegant women, very finelv tailored men, shops that would not look out of place on Broadway, and here, for inatance, a window full of gems!

These prove to be native North Caro- lina gems, mined in Mount Mitchell, and wn new, so rare in color and quality that they are pronounced hardly inferior to the superb green demantoids of siberia, They are garnets, but of a true rose or rhododendron hue, so different from the ordinary garnet that they have been given the scientific name of rhodolite, and are an utterly new variety, brilliant, hard and of so rich shades that I can see on preference between them and the roby.

Here we find very substantial and wholly modern business buildings and many public buildings wholly up to date, while the trolley, electrics and the other necessities of our life of today are all provided. Probably the great attraction to many will always be the drive to Bilt- more, the Vanderbilt estate, and the in- spection of Its 125,000 acres, containing not only the splendid residence su often described, but forty miles of the most perfect driveways, a dairy with cattle whose pedigrees are longer than many a lord who carries off a rich American girl as a prize and who have themselves won | unnumbered prizes; the stables where apeed and breeding, beauty and intelli- gence have won the approval of the master of horse to thia American esquire, Again, the piggeries are by no means to be neglected, since here is the proof that pigs do not love dirt and are as self-re- specting an animal as any and as fond of a bath as a dock. The guests of thia bouse are aupplied with fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes, peas and early strawberries from the truck farm and bot bouees of the Vanderbilt estate, while the rich cream, poultry and many other supplies have proved a really lucra- tive iavestment for this "fancy farmer."

Magnificent stretches of acenery are over present from any point in this princely domain, and around it ls grow. ing up the village of Biltmore, arranged in cottages that may be had at a very reasonable price, or in villas, chalets or more expensive residences for the "better to do." These are the uxtural extension of the great enterprises which are emanating from a wise young head and a free hand, and from the kindly and admiring expression of people about I fancy they are deeply appreciated.

We find the amusements here, for both in and out of doors, of the most varied character. Every nue seems in gay spirits. Every one seema buay. The golf links are extremely interesting and call for clever play as they run around the billa and give a new inspiration at every tee. Horseback riding ia ideal and the young ladies with their escorts or grooms canter away every morning. The abort skirt and alpen atock are in evi- dence, as mountain climbing is In great favor, for there are twenty-five points to gain from thia center.

But to return to a atill higber flight- up to the thought of the grandenr and greatness to be seen here, there and everywhere in our noble country. If Americana wish to see the world let them view It from the top of an Ameri- can mountain first. There is no foreign peak that will invoke nobler memories Dr lift them to more exalted aspirations than those which rise above the splendid landacapes of thelr native land. CORA LINN DANIELS

"He That Any Good Would Win"

Should have good health. Pure, rich blood is the first requisite. Hood's Sarsa- parila, by giving good blood and good health, has helped many a man to success. besides giving strength and courage to women who, before taking it, could not ever see any good in I'fe to win. Hood's Sarsaparilla Never Disappoints

We try to get as near as possible to the man who drinks the Coffee.

To find the best coffee in this country a woman needs only two qualties. She can use a dozen, but she can do it on only two. They are Intelligence and Courage,

Ten women have intelligence and no courage where one has courage and no intelligence. Cour- age is really what the average woman needs if she wants coffee way up in G.

Now it doesn't require much courage to buy a pound of Chase & Sanborn's High Grade Coffee if you set about it right. The grocer will give it to you in a parchment-lined bag with our seal and signature attesting its high quality. You have really only to drink it.

Even here you run no risk. The man who ate the first oyster took terrible chances. But the only chance you will take is the probability that never again will you be willing to drink any other kind of coffee.

Even then, you will thank us. Ask your grocer for a pound of this coffee to-day.

CYANIDE'S ATTRACTION.

Those Who Handle The Deadly Drag Are Drawn Almost irrealallbly to Swallow 11.

"Just now we are engaged in the mak ing of tons of cyanide of potassium," said a member of a firm of manufactur- ing chemists, "and of all poisons, this, to my miad, is the most dangerous, be- cause of a singular quality it possesses. It is in appearance so very attractive to those who handle it that they are often seized with an almost overwhelming de- sire to eat it. To one maa it probably suggests sugar, if he have a fondness for saccharine substances, and to an- other snow newly fallen; but to both it is so alluring that they may only over- come the temptation to put it in their months by great force of will power. "The very men who make it aad who are most familiar with Its deadly prop- erties are pursued by an unreasonable desire to eat the poison, and as long as they remaia in its vicinity this extraor- dinary craving endures. They know that to give way to the craving means death almost instant and horrible, and as a consequence are usually able to re- sist the strange temptation, but during the last ten years we have been en- gaged in the manufacture of the drug four of our most intelligent and steady workmen have committed suicide ia

this way."

"Ever feel like eating it yourself?" usked tbe reporter.

"Yes," the mannfacturer replied. "Many times when in contact with the cyanide fumes, aad have bad to leave work precipitately in consequence. So well is this curious fact kaown ja all works where cyanide of potassium is made that there are alway's two men at work together, and a jar of ammoaja, which is the antidote to the poison, is kept at baad.

"Potassium is one of the most inter- esting substances known to chemical workers. The metal itself is scarcely used at all in the arts, but its many salts are of immense practical value, being nsed largely in the production of gua- powder, fertilizers, medicines and dye- ing compounds. Cyanide is a compound of cyanogen with a metallic agent. Cyanogen is a colorless, poisonous liquefiable gas which bas the odor of almonds and burns with a purple flame. Cyanide of potassium is made by burn- Ing potassium, an alkali metal, in cyanogen gas, and is really a prussiate of potash. It Is produced also in blast furnaces in which ore is smelted, with coke or coal, and is permanent wher. kept dry, but decomposes readily in molst air. It crystallizes in dry, oc- tagonal blocks, and Is extremely solu- ble in water. It has the odor of prussic acid and kindred bitterness of taste. Cyanide of potassium is also used in electro-metallurgy and photography to a considerable extent. It will remove metallic oxidea, the juices of fruits and Indelible Ink."_X. Y. Sun.

ON THE MISSISSIPPI

Quaint $1ghis and Incidents of Travel and Tramo Along the Great River.

Passenger service on the Mississippi river is in a fairly satisfactory condi- tion. Between St. Paul and St. Louis, and from there to New Orleans, there are large and well-built craft, with comfortable staterooms equipped with running water and spring matresses. Each steamer has n long cabin extead- ing from stem to stern, where the tables are set for meals, and where the passengers dance in the evening. There is n piano and sundry ensy chnlrs. It costs about as much oa the boat per day ns It does at a good lakeside hotel, so that a passenger virtually has the pleasure of travel for nothing. The chief difference between the life on a boat and that at n summer hotel is that, instead of viewing the same prospect day after day from a piazza, you have a new view from the boat every mo- mint. The boat stops at every town. so that the passeagers may become familiar with the urban as well as the country life of the valley. The freight of the river is always taken to and from the boat on the backs of negro ronstabonts. There has been no ad- vnncement in the manner of handling it since the steamboats first plowed the river. As soon as the boat's nose touchies the shore the gangplnak is Inwered, and a seemingly endless pro- cession of negroes begius to move back and forth carrying on board the lags of flour, which, on the northern portlon nf the river, often makes the bulk of are tbe cargo. Plows, boxes, lumber and merchandise are the other products. River Ilves are much the same every- where. The cargoes, however, varied. They all present a pleture of a hundred years ago, At Memphis, from the bluffs to the water's edge, is an im- mense inclined plane of granite par- iag stones. In the center, about 200 feet from the bluffs, runs a wide road the entire length of the levee, and dis- appears among the compress factories and oil mills, whose great bulk and tall chimneys appear in the distance, Between this road and the bluffs the levee is nearly level; from here to the river there is a steep desceat. Above the road come and go continually a swift stream of cottoa loads aad empty drays, and great piles of small cargoes to sad from local jobbing houses; he- low it there are, during busy hours, a conglomerate mass of drays, mules. cotton bales, aacks of cottonseed. dark- ies, and all sorts of freight. Beyond is the long row nf steamers that line the shore, and in the background sweep the waters of the Mississippi. The center of netivity may be one boat, such as the Big Sandy, of the Memphis & Cincinnati line, just arrived, bringing a cargo of 2.000 cotton bales that have been picked up along the river mouth. The buge cottonseed are being enrried, one piece at a time, by a long stream of lazy darkies, over the gangplank into the bowels of the big boat. There some la- borers, returning by way of the stage plank at the prow, roll out before them the cotton balea and file them In rows some distance up the levee. Above the din of wheels rambling over the rough pavement, drivers shont to their stu- pid mules. There are picturesque oatbs and snatchbea of melody. Escaping

steam, shrill wbistlea, the creaking of loading and unloading freight, and the bellowing of overseers, who are, as a rule, active darkies, with monstrons lungs and an iaexhaustible supply of big words, mingle in busy confusion .- Ainslee'a Magazine.

"Is he what you would call a cul- tored person ?"

"Cultured! Well, I should say 50. He knows twice as much about the history of ancient Greece as he does about the history of the L'niteo States. And he can do a problem in trigom- etry ia one-third the time it would take him to calculate the interest on a 90-day note. Cultured! Well, guess!"-Washington Star.

"Then wait a minute," he said, "and [ will turn up my trousers."-Chicago Tribune.
