A STAIRWAY To THE CLOUDS
John Anderson, the first man to make
the ascent of tho great South dome
in the Yosemite Valley, is a quiet
young Scotchman, who lives, hermit
like in a small house near the saddle
of the dome. Here he dreams and
experiments, coming occasionally
down into the valley, where he is
the object of eager curiosity to trav-
elers, who whisper one to another.
"There's the sailor who climbed the
DOME" But few travellers have eyer
ascended to his workshop in the
mountains, and few people know that
he is now busily constructing a stair
case of one thousand steps, which he
intends shall form an easy pathway to
the clouds. The steps are of wood,
riyeted together by iron, and will be
fastened by bolts in the rock. Next
year, perhaps, tourists can walk up
a thousand-foot stairway, instead of
hanging to a thousand foot rope. In
time Mr.. Anderson looks to have an
elevator running up and down the
chasm, and his ambition extended to
train of cars, which he is now per-
fecting-cars which will run up a
perpendicular wall.

Mrs. Swishelm is, for all the pub
lie certainly knows TO the contrary a
woman. In the remote wilds of
Chicago and Milwaukee she is re-
garded as a literary woman. There
may be a question as to whether her
writings can properly be classed as lit
erature, but there is no doubt that she
has written a great many feet of ar
ticles ia behalf of reformed dress
for women. In the public mind she
has long been identified with the
cause of female trousers, but it
now appears that this was a mis-
take. So far from desiring trous-
ers, or even masculine coats and
hats, she regards them with horror
and aversion. She has just writ
