DANGEROUS IAYMAkING-"Wi hav"
is the name given by the Swiss to hav
made from the grass growing on strips of
soil to be found on the Alps, ut height of
from five thousand to six thousand feet, in
places SO difficult of access that even the
goatherd and his venturesome flock for
bear to visit them. This hay is so vau-
able from its excellent quality and deli
cious aroma that a regular hay harvest is
yearly undertaken on these almost inacces-
sible places in spite of the danger of life
and limb involved in the attempt The
haymakerS are shod with iron, and secure
themselves with ropes to some sure hold
when in especially dangerous places. but
fatal accidents occur every year. 1t is
reckoned that one man can make hun
dred weight of hay daily. This he either
carries home at night in a net slung over
his shoulder, or stacks it on the mountain,
whence 1t is removed in a sledge when
the snow comes. This wild hav is essen
tial to the maintenance of the Alpine cat
tie. the produce of the valleys being in
sufficient for their winter keep. besides
being of inferior quality to this hard-won
spoil from those hooks in the everlasting
hills upon which the suns rays still lin
ger when they have long since left the
valleys.

Tilton, when knooling to his wife. vowed
no loved her. and asked her to come
back to his home. She replied she
might have, but did not remember. She
talked 30 fast before the committee that
she got things mixed up. She could not
tell from memory all she said TO thom;
she could only say she was trying 10 tell
the truth to them. Witness then re-
