A woman mail carrier, Rosa Shelley, carries the mail regularly between Dexter and Goshen, an eighteen mile stretch of lonesome road, in Lane county, Oregon.

An electric freight railroad started business a few days ago in Knox county. Maine. The Rockland, Thom-aston and CamJen Electric railroad, originally built for passenger traffic, and so operated for some little time, has added a freight and express bnsi-ncas, and will run a way-bill freight over its road hereafter. and plain the their The costumes of the Fpanleh'and Mexican ladies during the first half of the present century will, no doubt, be a matter of interest and even curiosity to the American ladles of this, the latter half. There were no dressmakers nor milliners in California. yet the ladies of thia province dressed more stylishly and prettily than they do at present The daughters of the hidalgos the dona nndorstood’ both and fine sewing and art of dres8*fittiag. Some of prettiest gowns were the handiwork of the señoritas, who prided themselves upon their artistic work and originality of design. The evening dress was of green, blue or yellow silk or a white lawn skirt over a red flannel potticout. a beautiful combination, contrasting very prettily with the dark olive tint complexion of the Npanish beauty. The sleeves were very short, if th«*y may be styled pb-eves, and the sbapi ly arms were co\er**d with transpurent lac *. but ^JTO froqui'iitly th«*y were bare, es-I'tcially if full r.iundcil. 'I’ho waists were loose, corsets being unknown to thorn. A sash of n*(l, blue, green or a combination of colors, extended from t .0 riirht .-liouhb'r across the bust to the left wai.-t, whop.* it was looped in a double «*r lover’s knot. »Somo wore the sash around the waist as a bolt Ineir sh«»es xxi ro white sutin, and i-«)ini*tiine- of othi'T color.s.

'J'ho señoras or married ladies wore the hatr rolled up in masses over silver oombs, studded with crosses or stara The ordinary costum# was, . of ooursa^ of plainer material ami* the (diocs were *of do*-r8kin, tanned and made to order by Homo of the Indian slaves attached to the gran casa. They did not use «'Oumetics, but the Californian or Mexican ladies sparingly used a piowder of rice In order to rival the pure white or olive-tinted complexion of the blue blooded Spanish ladies. To heighten the complexion they wore a short white lace veil of the richest texture, gossamer-like, through which could be seen the lire of passion flashing In their dark, lustrous eyoa They tabooed bonn<>t8, but protected the complexion with a man tie,'charitably large enough to dp ax^ay with a sunshade.

Jliey form^ an exclusive set, from which even the children of the Span ard who had intermarried with the Mexican was exoluded. according to the Philadelphia Times. It was not in good fprm for members pf the upper class, the pure Spanish, to Intermarry with the lower or Mexican class. Mexican society was also divided into several grades—thé rich and poor, official, etc. Only a few families of the original Spanish dons now remain in California. They are as exclusive as were their proud and wealthy hidalgo ancestors The wealthy grandees who came over from Spain In colonies to settle in “New Spain” brought with their customs their household goods and elastic charters or grants for lands. The wealthy brought along their old fashioned bedsteads of highly polished brass, which were curtained with bright colored satin. Some of these cost and some $1,000. They were handed down to their descendants of the present, who treAsuro these heirlooms beyond pricex There remain a few specimens of pilloNv-slips, counterpanes, etc., of the day# of the grandees The pillowslips are masses of embroidery of many ^signs—the work of the sen-oritaa, ^h#, wearied of the paseo le caetnpp (picnic;, baile or horseback riding, ply the needle as a pastime.

The needlework in these articles is exquisite, %nd shows to the greatest advantage when placed over a lining of pink or blue cambria The toilet towels were marvels of beauty—they were embroidered at* each «end about a foot in depth and fringed. In the morning an Indian 'slave served coffee, or chocolate, at about 9 o’clock; at 10 breakfast was served; at 2, luncheon; at 5, dinner, and at 9 p. m., tea. , • After dinnér, or after luncheon, it was the custpm for the señoras to indulge in a smpke—not very quiet, but seasoned with a little gossip. Each lady would have In front, within easy reach, a small silver vase filled with coals, from which to light her cigarette, which was invariably highly pierfumod. Unmarried ladies were not permitted to join in these siestas, except in rare cases when they were unusually chio, or were, perhaps relegated to the shelf as old maida They sat on ottomans in the Oriental style. After the siesta, horseback riding. In the evening the guitar—some of the iumily playing, the others dancing. THE MAKING OF A TOUGH. ETolutlon of the Goars*-Mln-leil Youth Into the Str*et Roxvdy.

Two French scientists say that a current of electricity does not always kill when it appears to do .so. Tt simply produces an appearance of death, from which the subject may be restored by artificial respiration The Worcester Gazette suggests this may be the case with the criminals who are executed by electricity, and that they are realjy killed, not by electrie-ity, but by the doctors wlio afterward make an autopsy on them. It seems that rabbits have been revived after receiving a shock of 2,500 volts and twenty amperes, a shock more powerful than is given in the execution of murderers. bo removed very easily by taking off the burrs on two bolts. W'hen tho sail is removed the block does not Interfere with the use of the machine in any manner, nor has it a disxileas-Ing look to the eye. In rigging tho sail the block head Is made of Oregon pine, while the two side clamps are of o.ik a half an Inch thicK. These are soowfoly fastened to the wheel by tw'o iron bolts. Great care should bo exercised in placing this particular part of the attachment in position.

The cost complete is about $10, if the work is perforraejJ by the individual himself. Almost anyone can make a sail and place it on the wheel. With a few hours’ practice a good wheelman can easily manipulate it and enjoy a ride without any fatigue whatever. For the benefit of those who will try the labor-savingxlevice Mf. White gives the following advice on the subject: After making or buying tho sail and placing it in position keep the same furled until outside of the city on a quiet and lonely road. Be careful when approaching a horse, as the animal will take fright when a fourth of a mile away if the sail is in position. On arriving at a secluded spot hoist the sail and allow it to swing loosely in the wind. Mount tho machine the same as usual and pedal while the wind is filling the sail gradually and the regular rate of speed is being acquired. Then the sail will come under perfect control. Tho best position is to keep one hand on the handle bars and the other OIL the boom, should it be close enougli to the rider. When the sail swings away'from the reách control it by the cord running through the pulley under the seat. Be sure the cord will slip through the pulley eafily.or a'sudden squall will unseat ^op instantlyi V Keep the feet on tho p^edals, which should be racing or “rat traps,” as they will tíold the feet in position best, Tbl? v^ill assist materially in keeping balance. The coasters qan be used, but hot so well as the first mentioned. * W* Sailing before the wind you will go just, twice as fast as ih nrdina.-y bicycle riding, while the greatest J velocity is gained while ’ riding at right angle to the wind- With good handling a speed of from twenty to thirty miles can be obtained. Beating against the wind is very hard, as it is almost impossible to tack in the’ narrow roads. . On* approaching a team, and while yet at some distance, loosen the sail and come to a standstill. Push the' wheel out to one side of the road and lay it down on the side till the fractious animal has passed or you may be called upon to pay damages or repair a btoken vehicle. USED COINS AS SHOT. % How -a Hanter In Cerlon Saved Bimselg From a BaiTxlo. The buffalo in Ceylon carries hla head in a peculiar manner, his horns thrown back and his nose projecting on a level with his forehead, thus securing him from a fatal front sLoL Thle renders him a ‘dangerous enemy, as he will receive any number Of bails from a small gun in the throat and chest without showing the least distress. In "The Rifle and Hound in Ceylon,” an account of « dangerous encounter with this animal is given. The writer had fired without killing the buffalo and had not a single ball left. With a stealthy step and a short grunt the 'bull advanced upon the man, seemingly awfBTe of his helplessness. ♦^Suddenly a bright thought flashed through my mind. W^ithout 1 takiqg my eyes off the animal, I put ' a double charge of powder down tho right hand barrel, and, tearing off a piece of my shirt, I took all thei money from my pou'ch, six shillings in six-penny pieces, and two anna pieces. • '¡Quickly making them into a roll with the piece of a rag, I rammed them down the barrel. They wera hardly well home before the bull sprang forward. I had no time even to replace the ramrod, and 1 threw I it in the water, bringing my gun on full cock at the same instant. “I now had a charge in my gun which, if reserved till ho was within a few feet of the muzzle, would certainly floor him. The horns were lowered, their points were on either side of me, and the muzzle of the gun barely touched his forehead when I pulled the trigger, and three shillings worth of small change rattled into his hard head. "Down ho went, and rolled over with the suddenly-checked momentum of his charge. Away went B- and I as fast as our heels would carry us through the water and over tha plain, knowing that he was not dead, only stunned. "'rhere was a large fallen treo about a half a mile from us, whoso whitened branches, rising high abovo the ground, offered a tempting asylum. To this wo directed our steps, and after a run of lOJ yards we turned and looked behind us. The buffalo, had regained his feet and was follovr-ing us slowly. We now experienced the difference of feeling between, hunting and being hunted. "By degrees the bull’s pace slackened and he fell. Wo were only too glad to be able to reduce our spieed, but we had no sooner stopped to breathe than he was up again and after lis. At length, however, we gained the tree and beheld him stretched, powerless upon the ground within. 200 yards of us.” , A Queer Rainbow Superstition.. The Kurds and Armenians, whoso •'many folklore stories and tales of superstitious fancies far'exceed those of the gypsies, have some rainbow beliefs which are, perhaps, not duplicated in the popular notions of any others among the laces of mankind. They hoot at the idea of its being a witness to God’s covenant with man that the earth will no more undergo the ordeal of flood, and declare that it was made for the express purpose of letting the first Tnan and . woman down from heaven, the man eecurély fastened to one end of the groat variegated band, the woman at tho other. The end of time, according to tho Kurds, will be ushered in by the appearance of four rainbows, which will cross at the zenith, furnishing eight passageways for God and his hosta William Had Presence of Mind. William the Fourth of England seemed in a momentary dilemma ono day when, at the table with several officers, he ordered the waiter to "Take away that marine there,’* pointing to an empty bottle. “Your majesty,” inquired a colonel of marines, “do you compare an empty bottle to a member of our branch of the service?” “Y'es,” replied the monarch as if a sudden thought had struck him, “I mean it has done ita duty once and it is ready to do it again. ”—Argonaut. |Only One Ovcr-»iiflit.
