abundance of fallen timber and tangled
vines, in search of game-but these men
do it and enjoyit it. They have very little
use for the young hunters that come out
from the States, and who are unused to
fatigue, and, as general thing, look
upon their efforts with good deal OF
contempt.
If man will go hunting with them,
he is expected to keep up and do his
share. Elk hunting requires resolution,
and is attended with a good deal of pri-
walton, andnnen who engage in it must
expect to undergo much fatigue. Besides
this, when large game is killed, it re-
quires to be taken care of. and there is
the additional labor Of skinning the
animal and carrying the meat down the
mountain sides, or returning for it, after
miles and miles of hard travel, with a
horse ON which to carry it down to camp.

DETROIT, MICH, Aug. 6, 1879
G. N. CRITTENroN, EsQ.-Dear Sir: have
travelled for three years for Messrs. Charles
scribner's Sons, Publishers, New York, and
desire to inform you that have used your
incompatible "Glenn's Sulphur Soap" ex
clusivey for about four years; also have
recommended It to very many persons, and
my constant experience has been that it
possesses all the medical advantages that
YOU claim for it. All to whom | have re-
commended it say, as well as myself, that
1T deserves its established reputation as the
best and most efficacious Sulphur Soap that
can be used for all skin cleansing, as well
as toilet purposes. Some unprincipled
drug store keepers have endeavored to SUBJ
stitute other kinds of Sulphur Soap for
misunderstanding they were "just as good, v
but having myself tried other kinds, find
none are so good or so beneficial as the
genuine Sulphur Soap stamped "Glenn's,'
which also | have learned to observe always
bears the name of &C. N. Crittenton, Pro
prietor," on the packet.
Yours truly,

The Cologne Cathedral.

Cologne Cathedral is at length ap-
preaching completion, and it is conf
IDENTIFY stated that August next year will
see the mighty minister finished. Begun
in the very midst of the "ages of faith,"
when monarchs beggared themselves to
raise magnificent structures, of which
only picturesque ruins now remain for
the world to look at, this extraordinary
temple of the Chris ian faith Jagged be-
hind all its contemporaries in the work
of construction, saw them reach their
mature glory, decline, and sink to ruin,
itself being all the time an unfinished
fabric. The first stone of Cologne Ca
thedral was laid in 124S, about the time
when all the grandest ecclesiastical edi-
fees now left, perfect or ruined, in
Europe were either just finished, or, like
Notre Dame, in Paris, were in rapid prog
ress; but, while the most elaborate of them
took only three centuries to bring to per-
fection, Cologne Minister has absorbed
more than double the time, and is not
finished yet. 1t is unnecessary to give
all the reasons of this delay. Suffice it
to mention that a parsonage" not to be
mentioned without extreme caution to
cars polite hindered the work from the
beginning with pertinaeity only natu-
raj, perhaps, under the circumstances,
and that this supernatural "obstruction-
ist' succeeded 80 far that only after the
lapse of six hundred and thirty-two years
will the great fabric be hailed as a per-
fected Christian temple. 1t took nearly
three centuries is, from 1913 to
15l7-to complete the choir, and since
that date it has required liberal aid from
nearly all the sovereigns of Europe to
keep the construction going. ..
The Cathedral is $40 feet long and 230
feet broad; the nave is supported by 100
columns, the four central of which are
no less than forty feet in circumference; !;
the choir is 100 feet in hight, and the
two great towers are each 500 feet high.
What now remains to be done is the last
stage and crowning decoration of the
stately towers. Tie massive caps of stone
work have to be laid on, and then en-
Their SUBMITS have to be fixed the gigan-
tic "foliated crosses" almost thirty feet
high, which are to crown the towers and
proclaim to all the world the faith to
which the work is dedicated. The dome,
Gothic architecture, will be able to point
to an acknowledged masterpiece, and the
bones of the II 900 virgins may rest quiet
in their shrine. II is only to be hoped
that, when next August arrives, Europe
will ftly celebrate the occasion on its
own merits, without inquiring too cur
iously into the value of the accompany
ing legends.

Hunters in the Rocky Mountains.
Wyoming Letter

Up near Laramie Peak there yet re-
mains great deal of game, such as bear,
elk, deer and antelope, and this is about
the right time to commence hunting.
There are several old hunters in that
section who have their cabins in good
localities, who spend good portion Of
their time in hunting. They are sin
gular class Of people and care little
about life outside of the mountain
ranges.
As general thing they are gaunt and
wiry men, excessively fond of tobacco, and
the physical labor they sometimes go
through almost exceeds belief. 1t is no
joke to walk twenty or thirty miles a day
up the mountain sides, where there Is an
