Any one who travels through the country
west of the Rocky Mountains. will find
cause for wondeI at seeing. in places most
diflcult of access. towns of substantial
buildings. of which the materiel could not
lltve come from anywhere in the neighboh
hood. And yet they may be hundreds of
miles from a railroad. These towns do not
filer in appearance or in their interior
equipments from those in the East. except
by the natural distinctions resulting from s
dilcreut sort of inhabitants. Of course.
nearer the Atlantic. we do not meet with
the ponderous mining machinery so fre-
quently seen in the mountains. but in the
mountain hotels will be found the same
furniture. heavy and light. which is used
in thb East ; in the. saloons the same billiard
tables on which the tournaments are played
in New York. Indeed. everything that is
.provided in places having easy communion.
tion with IIll manufacturing centres. can be
found up In the mountains. where it would
seem that only a practised climber could
go. or an animal entirely free from burdens.
And yet the whole of that town has been
carried there. and most of it on the backs
of horses and mules. In what are called
packItrnins they have carried the bricks
that made the houses and all that the houses
’ contain. over journeys that may have taken
weeks to make. and through places where
the chances were that. before the train got
M. some of the animals would go over a
precipice. Pack trains are of course gradu-
ally retreating before the introduction Ii
railioads. but it will be many years before
they goentirely out of use. and in some
parts of the country they are likely to re-
main the only means of transporting freight.
For many years there have been large com-
mics which have owned and managed
freight routes by means of pack trains. in
the same manner that other companies have
controlled the various stage lines.
A regular freight train will sometimes
have fifty animals. generally all mules. al-
though horses are used. Mules are to be
preferred. not because of greater surcncss
of foot. but for the reason that their backs
are more level. their hiret less prominent.
and their withers lower than is usually the
case with horses. so that they are not sc
liable to be chafcd by their loads. A mule
can carry from two hundred to sir hundred
pounds. but those that can bear the greater
weights are exceptioual animals. No mode
can be devised for fastening such a load
that will prevent it from moving slightly
when carried up and down steep hills; and
when ft back is once chafcd. there is little
chance for. healing it before. the cod of the
Inurucy. The sight of n chafed mule‘ will
often make a man shudder. The back may
have great row and bleeding patches on it.
tahe' withers become featured and swollen.
the points of the hips. which come in con-
tact with the loud. may be worn nearly to
the bone. the tail be rubbed ,by the cruppcr
until it is bloody. and perhaps. in addition.
the belly may be cut and pinched by tht
girth until it looks as fearful as the back.
Yet on such an animal the load must be
put every morning until he reaches the end
of the journey or breaks down entirely.
Thorn are two styles of apparatus for I
IIulII‘s back to which his burden is fastened
One is called 3 pack saddle. and resIIIIIlIlIIs
very closely a stbuIIk or the contrivuncc

other is much more often seen. and it is
called by its SpuIish name. «ijwnju. This
consists of two great sIIIlIllI-lmgs. each about
two feet wide and three feet long. stuffed
with hay until they become three or four
mchcs thick. and also with half It dozen
willow rods running lengthwise inside. to
nuke them keep their shape and hold their
load better.
These two bags are joined at the top by
leather of their own width. so that thII
lung across the back they hang down thr
sides and reach the belly. 'l‘lIcu their th
knver ends are brought together by a broad
girth, or as if is called in the West. a cinch.
This girth must be broad. indeed sIIIIIIIt'IIIII-s

‘ which it is tightened under the animal‘s

by a leather strap on that he may not move.
and when this is finished the strap is taken
off. his jaquima fastened around his for!»
head. and he is turned loose again to wan-
der by himself until the train is ready to
start. It takes two or three hours to lend
the. whole train. Then the packers mount
their horses. and one of them sets out with
the male that wears the bell immediately
behind him. Just as soon as that animal
starts. all the other mules that now are
sca‘ttered around feeding. lift their heads
and run into marching order.
PETRIPIED ENAKISI
There is a block of brow nstuIIe from the
Jummelstown Quarries. at the stone works
of J. Shearer. in that city. in which was im-
bcddcd a clearly-defined lot of petrified
snakes. averaging in thickness from the sire
of a man‘s wrist to the sire of I man 'I
finger. The block is four feet long. about
two feet in width and fully six inches in
thickness. The outlines of the reptiles stand
out in bold relief on the surface of the
block. and are sunk into the stone fully an
inch deep. The minute sections of the skin.
the vertebra and other portions of the rep-
tiles. are distinctly outlined. and are much
harder and darker than the grain of the
chocolateocolorcd stone. In splitting the
block at the quarries the exposed or upper
surface came out of the mndsone detached
from it. the same as iron out of a mould is
a foundry. intact and perfect. leaving a con.
cave impression in the other piece of the
block. The headspf the largest s rpcnts
outlined on the stone were broken when the
blockwasdehchedfromitsbedlnthe

states that beautiful petrified specimens of
ferns, shells. etc.. have been taken out fre-
quently. and many carried away by visitors
from Reading, Philadelphia and elsewhere.

that pui'ity of slection which a child so
gently yet so strongly inspires. She would

when he would take her on his shoulder

look how high she was. One day a largt
