Climbing Mountains.
Is a fascinating and invigor
ating pastime. It developes not
the body only, but the mind. The
Alpine Peaks\oi Switzerland have
their counterpart in our own
country, in the Sierras, the Cas
cades, and parts of the Rockies.
The greatest glacial peak of
the United Stsites is Mt. Ranier
in Washington, more than 15,500
feet high. This magnificent
mountain has 15 or more giant
glaciers creeping down its sides
and discharging their glacial de
tritus into the Columbia river or
Puget Sound.
A climb to 1he summit of this
is a mountaineering feat worthy
of any mountaineer. For 25 centf
Chas. S. Fee, Gen'l Passenger
Agent of the Northern Pacific
railway, St. Paul, Minn.will
send to any address an illustarted
booklet called "Climbing Mt. Rar
nier':
describing a climb over gla-
ciers to the bop of the moun
tain.

FUTILITY OF HE BALLOT3 18
MADE KNOWN BY SMOKE
SIGNALS.
ROME IS BECOMING IMPATIENT
LOUD CRIES, NOT ONLY OF DISAP-
POINTMENT, BUT EVEN OF
DERISION.
Rome. Aug. 5.After three full days
of deliberation, during which six bal
lots have been taken, the members of
the conclave still remain shut up In
the Vatican without having selected a
successor to Leo XIII. The futility of
both ballots taken yesterday was evi
denced by the smoke which rose from
the Sistlne chapel. This mute signal
last evening was watched by another
large crowd which partly filled the
square of San Pietro, and numbered
about 15.000 persons. Great disap
pointment was manifested and when
the little puff of smo':e ^poeared there
were loud cries, not only of disappoint
ment, but even of derision.
Rome is becoming extremely
Impatient Over the Delay
in the selection of the ntw pope, con
cerning which there appears to be no
I definite explanation, owing to the rigid
i secrecy with which the proceedings
within the conclave are guarded. Yes
terday practically the only news which
came from the Sisti^e chapel was that
of the extremely grave illness of Cardi
nal Herrero. It Ik presumed, however,
that the other aged cardinals are also
suffering from their prolonged incar
ceration and the intense heat.
Among ambassadors and eeclesias
tics there exists a general opinion that
I if only for the sake of relieving the
aged cardinals, much may be sacrificed
within the conclave to arrive at a
speedy conclusion.

Madrid, Aug. 5The threatened gen
eral strike commenoed yesterday in

Good Work of the Rocking Chair.
Some one who was interested in the
fact has discovered that while Amer
ican women are phorter than their Eng
lish sisters, their legs are much more
symmetrical and their ankles more
graceful. The belief is expressed that
the reason for this lies in the great
love of the American women for rock
ing chairs. Here a woman will sit
down In a rocking chair, and, appar
ently happy, rock by the hour, were
she not disturbed, perhaps not know
ing that the mere movement employed
to keep the chair li motion does, by
repeated pushes of '.he toes, make the
Instep high, the calf round and full,
and so keep from the angle an accum
ulation of flesh.
American and English Railways.
The reasons urgud In explanation of
the great number of persons killed and
Injured on American as compared with
British railways are: Wo have more
than eight times as many miles of
road Great Britain has but 9,000
miles oi single track, while we have
176.000 miles in Great Britain roads
can pay interest on an investment in
construction of $200,i0 a mile, but
many American roads built to develop
Bparsely settled districts fall to pay
an investment of $70,000 a mile heavy
traffic in Great Britain justifies the. ex
pense of block systems and interlock
ing switches.
Many Favor Universal Language.
"Esperanto," an artificial language
made by Ir L. Zamenhol for a uni
versal language, has gained RO.000 ad
herents, among tham members of the
French Institute, professor* In conti
nental universities, Count Tolstoi and
W. Stead Its hieot as stated by
ii writer in Le Monde Modorne, Paris,
is: "To furnish people who need to
communicate with foreignerstravel
ers, scientists and business menthe
way to a mutual understanding with
out i.ix esslty of resorting to the study
of many foreign languages."
Where to Apply.
"Dear MIHB Scrubblns," wrote the
wise mother to her son's teacher, "tf
you want an excuse for Willie's ab
sence from school, ask him for one.
He's the Vst boy for excuses that
lives. He gives them to me a dozen
times a day He oan give an excuse
for anything that happens, whethvr
K'S a rip in his tnmeers or a light with
a neighbors Voy. AB long as you have
him In you*1
room, I do not see why it
should be nwessary to apply to me
for an excuse at all."
Much Red Tape Over a Cent.
The postmaster at Elolse, Fla, being
short one cent In his cash at his last
settlement with the government, made
up the deficiency out of his own pock
et but in checking his accounts the
auditor for the ppstoffloe department
found an arithmetical error whereby
Uncle Sam had been overpaid to the
extent of a cent. Thereupon the do
partment sent tho postmaster a draft
for one oent, whloli he has just re
ceived.
The Traveled Widow,
The Sunday scnool superintendent
was quizzing a class of Rmall girls the
other day. "And what was 'the widow's
cruse?' he askod. There was a mo
ment's silence then a little hand went
up timidly. "Ple-awe, sir," said the
youngster, "tho widow was one of the
people that went with Noah In his
yacht."

HE USED A TACK.

taker was laying out the deceased hus
band of i weeping Hibernian widow.
The corpse were a wig, and it was
very difficult to Induce it to stay on
straight, as wigs ought always to do,
even If they don't. The bereaved
widow was called in to assist. "Go
an' git me a pot of slue. Mrs McGov-
ern," said the undertaker, "so that I
may keep his wig where it belongs."
Mrs. MocGoyern set out utter the
sticking material, and after a time she
returned. "Here Is the glue toe ye."
she said with a sigh.
"Mrs. McCovern. you kin take hack
the mucilage" said the undertaker
"the difficulty is fixed. I used a tack."
