Terrors of THE Snow sliie.

80 ~sbB va AtsN oh.0W 0aaaHCs
TO those who have never Witness
ed snow slide, says the Salt Lake |
Tribune, the term has no terror,
while those who have seen an avail
anche in the Wasatch shudder Mt the
very thought of it. The mountains
in the vicinity of the Cottonwoods
are steep and bare. 1t is said an In
dian will not venture up Little Cot
tonwood Canyon. When questioned
as to the cause of this strange fear
of that particular canyon, they shake
their heads and say "No good"
Perhaps in former years, while hunt
ing in the mountains, slide might
have sent number of them to the
happy hunting grounds. Since the
discovery of mineral in that section
the timber along the mountain sides
has been nearly all cut down. The
snow falls deeper on this range than
on any other part of the Rocky
Mountains, and the least jar at the
bottom will start the snow to NOV
ing gradually. At first it starts gen.
tly, the whole mass gaining strength
and speed till it finally comes down
like thmderbolt, with the roar Of
a thousand pieces of artillery. Trees
and houses are licked up and snap
ped away as though so much paper.
Immense boulders are taken up in
it's course, and nothing but desc
lation and ruin remain behind.
There are many causes for snow
slides. If heavy fall of snow is
followed by thaw and then a sud
den cold snap, the next snow will be
very restless ON this smooth surface
Again, if a party should undertake
to wade along through the snow on
a steep mo ,ntain side, they leave a
furrow behind them which the i'm
mense pressure of the snow above is
bound to close up. The magnitude
of the slide depends upon the mo-
mentum the mass may acquire be
fore closing up this gap. Hence it
is that men who know the capricious
nature of snow in our mountain
ranges are very cautious in moving
around. The explosion of a heavy
charge of gunpowder hundreds O.
feet beneath the surface, has beer
known to start the snow overhead

The Midsum mer Holiday Century.

The first midsummer holiday number of Ike Century Magazine-the first under the new name makes strong appeal to popular favor, both with the excellence of it's illustra- tions and the interest and timeliness of it's text. The frontispiece is portrait os Rich. ard Wagner, engraved in a most charming and delicate style, by MT. Cole, of whom the public has come to expect only the best of work. An interesting paper, by MT. John R. G. Hassard, the we'll known musical critic of the New York ''Trlbune" tells How Wagner makes Operas,p an exposition which comes appropriately before the approaching Wagner festival at Beyreuth. "The Personal History of Garibaldi" is succinctly told by Mrs. Bian.
 ciardi, and there is a portrait of him in his vigor, which tallies with the boldness of bis
 exploits. The sporting. article is "Steam- yachting in America" by S. G. W. Benjamin, author of "The Evolution of the American Yacht, in the last number. A large portion of both text and cuts is devoted to detailed
 description of MT. J. G. Bennett's new yacht NGm0un0. of which there are some excellent drawings. Another timely feature, in view of the expected rush to Montana next year, on the completion of the Northern Pacific, is Mr.
 B. V. Smalley's entertaing paper on ''The Northwest" the first of series which is to treat of the region along the rail- way from Fargo to the Cascades of the Columbia. The ground covered in the first paper is the Dakota wheat belt, the (sc.called) Bad Lands and the Yellowstone country. MT. Smalley writes graphically and mainly from the investors point of view, giving account of natural resources, society, topography, climate, etc. An amusing brochure is s'The Lambs netrical satire on Wall street

 Ex-Gov Hubbard was the State Attorney for Hartford county and brought writ of naanda'nus. The railroad contended as they do in the New York case, that it was mere question between private parties and that naandanaus would not lie.
 The court, however thought differently and ordered the issuing of peremptory man. ddDauS.
 Judge Ellsworth in giving the opinion of the court says that, while the company has the power to regulate and control the manner of using the road by wholesome rules and bylaws, these must be such as are really promotive of the original design of the char ter and not such as tend to defeat the design, and then concludes as follows:
 "All jurists and judges will at once agree that chartered companies are obliged fairly and fully to carry out the objects for which they are created, and that they can be com pelled by naandGmus to do it; and it will not be questioned that in the case of public high ways, whether turnpikes or railroads, they are bound to keep them fit for use, and, in the case of railroods, to keep them furnished with suitable cars, engines and attendants, without which they cannot be used at all."

swindles Con the model of Greek tragedy written by Robert Grant, author of NThe Little I'm Gods on Wheels" with choral songs by bulls, " bears, and "shorn lambs."
 There are, in addition four fully illustrated papers: The "Borderlands of Surrey" by Miss Alice Fem, with striking picturesque drawings by her father. Harry Fem, includ- ing Tennysons house, "Freshwater," Brook bank," where George Eliot wrote Middle. march, Gilbert Whites House at Selborne, etc.: "The American Museum of Natural History Central Park, by Dr. Holder, with | fossils; 'Some English Artists and their Stu dios," by Cosmo Monkhouse, the English art critic, with faithful drawings by Vanderhoof, of the workroons of Leighton, Millais, Petite, Boughton, Alma Tadema, and others, and lastly, "An Aboriginal Pilgrimage" by Syl- vester Baxter, an account of the Eastern trip of the Zunis with groups and excellent DOT. traits and autographs of the Indians, and a portrait of MT. Frank H. Cushing, to whose forthcoming account in The Century of his life and adventures in Zuni as 8 member of the tribe, this paper is preliminary.
 Light reading is further supplied by the two serials, by sea-coast story, by Noah Brooks, with the piquant title ''The Phan- l tom odlOIi ny all dSieehUly uuSedsOudDle d0u poetic sketch of "A snowstorm," by John Burroughs, and by some "reminiscences of George Eliot's aunt Mrs. Elizabeth Evans, which conclusiyely identify her with the character of Dinah Morris. In MT. Howellss story, Kinney the logger reappears, and Bart ley discusses delicate question of news paper ethics with a brother journalist and the plot thickers. In Mrs. Burnctt's Through One Administration" Bertha tells Ter story 4 to Agnes Sylvestre. Some of the strongest scenes of this story, it is stated, are yet to come.
 Besides Robert Grant, the poets of the number are T. W. Parsons, "H. H." Edith M. Thomas, Austin Dobson, H. c. Burner, and John Vance Cheney.
 The chief feature of the departments is an editorial article of nearly ten pages length on ''The Metropolitan Museum and it's Di rector" in which is reviewed the controversy over alleged restorations in the Cesnola Col lection of Cypriote Antiques. The other de. partments are shorter than usual. In the 'Bric-a. Brac' is "Ballade of Coquette, by Frank D. sherman whose light verse o the kind has recently attracted attention.

St. Nicholas for August.

AUGUST is the great travelling month. In August everybody wants to go somewhere else. But there are great many people who can only go to four or five places, or perhaps only very short distance, and some people can not get away till next year. So ST. NICHOLAS has made the August issue great travel number. Its stories and articles deal of persons and things all over the world. And the stay.at.home folk can pick out cool corner, when they find one, and go from Norway to Turkey, from Egypt to Lake George, without any of the worry and inconvenience of boats and trains, of sta. ges, sledges, or camels.
 Hjalmar Hjorth Boyesen tells "How Burt went hale.hunting' in Norway; Miss Lu' cretia P. Hale, of Mrs. Peterkin in Egypt" David Ker, the Tvnees correspondents, contrib utes "Hassan's Watermelon" Turkish tale; sn amusing poem is s'The Punjaubs of Siam"; and James Baldwin continues the "Stories from the Northern Myths," with an account of 'How Siegfried Returned to Isenstein, ' accompanied by powerful, full page picture by Blum.
 Then, with "A Visit to the Home of Sir Walter Scott," are number of new interior views of Abbotsford engraved from photo. graphs. Paul Forts story" The Mysterious Barrel" contains some capital yarns by an old sea captain. "How Hooser Boy Saw the Tower of Pisa," is not only interesting and exciting, but true. "The Cloister of tha Seven Gates /" is an old time story of the Ser. vian kings, and "summer Days at Lake George" brings us with a jump to America and to-day. Beside these, is sailor. boy story of an American lad who went to Portugal and took part in bull-fght
 Even in Mrs. Dodge's Serial, "Donald and Dorothy, " the hero takes passage for Europe
 Among those who contribute poems and verses are Celia Thaxter, Joel Stacy, and Margaret Johnson. And there are pictures by Blum, c. F. Barnes, Church, Edwards, Beard, Hopkins, Cocks, Jesse McDermott, and others

WILLIAM B. NILES, Harvard student, stop. ping at a farm house in the Shandaken val. ley, above Boiceville, N. Y, had a narrow escape from Q panther while out shooting in the mountains. He had with him double barrelled gun and ammunition intended only for small game. He had been out some six hours. After climbing one of the mountains in the vicinity of White Rock, and while sitting down to rest under an over-hanging ledge of rocks, he heard rustling in the brush above him. He paid no special atten. tion at first. but having penetrated further into the mountains, he continued to hear the sound at intervals along the way. He stood stood still and listened, with his gun ready for shot. Presently, not twenty feet away huge panther made its appearanc, ready for spring. Niles deliberately aimed at the panther's head and drove the charge into his face and eyes. He was so confused ant blinded that he made a wild spring whict carried him over precipice at the bottom of which he lay stunned. The sportsman hastened home thankful for his miraculous escape
