The White Mountains i'm May.

A visitor who paid his respects to Mount
Washington rather earlier than Is custom
ary, writes to a western paper:
lone of the most signal adventures OF
life full of them has been the ascent OF
Mount Washington In the early part OF
May, before the winter fences and water
ways across the carriage road nave been
taken down, when there are snow drifts
twenty feet deep to be shovelled through
by the workmen repairing the road, and
when the Summit House is just emerging
from its wintry coverlet of snow.
"The Tip-Top House is entirely free and
clear of snow, but ON every hand the i'm
macu,ate element is still found in large
quantities, and the Summit House is halt
buried up.
THE views to be obtained from the
grand old mountain tops are now far
ahead of any to be had in summer. The
sombre monotony of the panorama of the
mountains stretched out on every hand is
relieved by the tops of loftiest mountains
having caps of snow, while the lesser ones
are as fresh looking as in the summer
time. Then in every gorge and wave OF
the hills, one sees the charming little cas-
cades 80 busy in taking away the SHOWS of
the past winter, which, as they leap care
lessly from rock to rock. send up their hny
line of spray to make the clouds which
cover the mountains at even tide.
1.-THE roads are in o horrid condition
now, but sixty men are at work on the
mountain road. and large gangs on the
other lines, SO that all will be ready for the
opening of the season on June l."

So GREAT are the improvements in archi-
lecture in the West that this section is now
no mean rival to the East. AS specimen
of more prominent Western architecture
we give our readers an engraving of the
Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany's Building just erected in Milwaukee,
Wis. under the supervision of Architect E.
Townsend Mix. The style of the building
is Italian Gothic, and it was built solely for
the Insurance business. 1t fronts on
Broadway and Wisconsin streets, two prom
inent thoroIghfares, sixty feet on the latter
and one hundred feet on the former: is six
stories high, including Mansard root. 1t is
built of stone, the fine grey limestone laid
in random courses rubble, while the arches,
piers, string courses, etc, are of finely cut
white Athens stone. Supporting the arches
of the first story are double row of polish
ed red Scotch granite pillars; supporting
the spandrels of the front porch entrance
are six similar columns, with carved Ital
ian capitals. The porch has its jambs
handsomely enriched with carving, as well
as the face of the spandrels. The cor
nices are of galvanized iron, the roofs of
purple slate. In building, $4,000 cubic
feet of stone were required for the foun-
dation; 600, 000 brick were required for
various walls and arches; 10000 cubic
feet of cut stone for dressed work; s, 600
feet of concrete for fire proof floors: 325, 600
lbs. of iron Tor floors, joists; "A, 900 feet of
corrugated iron plates for ceilings, etc.

centipedes, or what not, with perfect i'm
punity. He makes pets and playfellOws
of the larger kind Of rattlesnakes, twisting
them around him, and dallying with their
fOrked tongues, and their ten or twelve rat
ties He actually has carried scorpions in
his bosom, and wasps and hornets IN his
sleeves and pockets, without reeeiv-

place infested with snakes, be can by few

absence sometimes of hours.
He can take a rat or a mouse, and so

SOMETHING ABOUT WooD.-The con sump-
tion and waste of wood in the United
States every year is frightfully enormous,
if we care to look ahead of the present CEN
tury. Railway sleepers alone require 150,-
600 acres of the best timber every year. The
annual expenditure in wood for railway
buildings, repairs and cars is S3S, 500, 600.
The locomotives in the United States con-
sumo annually SAG, 900, 900 worth of wood.
The wood industry amounts to $500, O00, =
600. And yet all this is q mere cipher. At
nearly exery mill fires for burning slabs
are never allowed to die out, burning up
millions of cords that might be made avail
able if it could be got to market. The
worst of all is, fires in the woods.
Every year these rage fearfully,
destroying the growing timber by the
thousand acres. Not long since Maine
man purchased five thousand acres ofsplen-
did timber on the Menominee. Within a
year fire went through it, and every stick
was lost. Strange to say, most of these
fires which every year send destruction
broadcast through the timber, are the result
of sheer carelessness. There is so much
timber that the lumbermen really delight
in wasting it, and enormous as the supply,
more is wasted every year than Is sent 20
market. In a few years, there is little
doubt but if the lumber men had this thing
to do over, they pould be more careful.
In this connection, and to show some
thing of the way lumber is eaten up, one OF
our Milwaukee lumbermen, who is deeply
interested in the preservation of the timber
of the country, and whose lands, owing en-
tirely to the care taken, have suffered only
inconsiderably by fire, told us a day since,
that careful computation of the matter
showed that the logs cut at one of his mills
last year, if placed end to end, would
rea ch distance of three hundred and fifty
nine and half miles

Byron'S Grave.

Attention is directed, 10y rather srongly-
worded letter addressed to an English pa
per, to Byron's burial place. He was
i..terred in the church OF Hucknall Tarkard,
which the writer describes as q miserable,
poverty stricken village, standing near a
wide sandy tract of unreclaimed ground,
with stunted bushes and blackened furze,
which Robin Hood would certainly not
recognize as portion of Sherwood Forest
Byron, his daughter and their ancestors lie
in the vault of the mean but ancient edi-
fee, which dates from the eleventh century.
The only memorial to the poet is plain
white tablet, without ornament of outline
or inscription, placed there by Mrs. Leigh.
She, after all, it seems, of the admirers SO
loud-voiced in their praise, was and is the
only one who. out of her scanty means, had
more than words to offer as o tribute to his
deathless fame.
The Dean and Chapter of Westminster
steadily refused to permit Lord Byron to
be buried in the Abbey, and the recent dis
cussions in regard to his life are not likely
to make Dean Stanley willing to move in
the matter so late in the day. Lord Byron
has, however, a wealthy son-in-law, Lord
Lotelace, and two very well-to-do grand
children, Lord Wentworth and Lady Ann
Blunt, living, and these might find funds
to put the church in good order; the more
so that the wife of the first and mother OF
the last also lies buried there.-NeU York

A Case of Mistaken Identity.

The Frankfort Yeoman is responsible for
the following story:
We had the pleasure of greeting yester-
day, our friend, Colonel w. ID. Lannom, of
Paris, Tennessee, who spent the day in
our city, it being his first visit to Frankfort
since 1901, when he represented the
counties of Hickman and Fulton in the
Legislature. His visit recalls an amusing
incident which occurred on the memorable
excursion of the Kentucky Leg
islature to Cincinnati and CO.
lumbus at the invitation of the
Ohio Legislature, just before the war,
while he was member. Among the party
were Gen. Scott Brown, of this county, then
Adjutant General; Clinton McClarty, Clerk
OF the House, and Gen. Geo. b. Hodge,
then q representative of Campbell county.
Now it happens that Lanhom and McClarty
strikingly resembled each other, while in
features and gneral personal appearance
General Hodge and General Brown
were not unlike. One day,
while being entertained very Hospitality
in Cincinnati, it seems that Lannom and
Brown returned together to the Barnet
House, and entered the parlor arm-in arm,
feeling very comfortable after their round
of pleasure and sightseeing. Opposite the
door by which they came in there was q
large mirror, reaching from the ceiling to
the floor. Mistaking this for door, and
seeing their own images, Lannom
remarked, ''See yonder Brown, there
comes Clint. McClarty and George
Hodge" "Yes," says Brown; land
as tight us bricks" Lets 60 and take
them of to bed" said Lannom, and they
advanced to carry out their purpose, until
they were first apprised of their error by
coming IN contact with the mirror. Ian
nom says it was a remarkable case OF mis-
taken personal identity, and not at ali at
tributable, as some might infer, to the pc
culiar influence under which exeursionists
are generally supposed to labor.

She walks with something of masculipe
stride, and always carries pencil in y er

think her chances of remaining a Joy for

GONG CRAZY OVER EIGHT HUNDRED Dol.
LARs.-The Matteawan Herald says that
Officer Green, of Fishkill Landing, on
thursday last conveyed to the Utica Luna
tic Asylum one Ellen McCarty, aged about
forty-five years. Ellen has for number of
years been in the employ of Mrs. Dubois,
near Glenham, and has, by great industry
and economy, saved up about eight hun
dred dollars. This money has of late given
her much trouble, and for the past three
months she has exhibited unmistakable
signs of insanity. She was discharged from
her place about three weeks ago, the people
fearing to have her about the house. Since
that time she has been stopping in Mattea-
wan, and daily exhibited signs of being a
confirmed lunatic. The town authorities
took the matter in charge, and decided to
put her under medical treatment at the
above named asylum. The removal was
accomplished with great Difficulty.
