Mrs. WILLIAM DowSEs, of Uxbridge. Mass, writes

fed the skill of the most experienced doctors,
could not obtain permanent relief by their treatment

Climbing the Himalayas.

A height of more than %, 900 feet has,
we believe, been reached in the lima
layas by an English officer, and height
exceeding 81 900 feet was twice reached
by Mr.. Whymper in the Andes. 1t is
remarkable that at first this traveller
and his guides suffered frightfully from
the rarity of the air. At an elevation
of only 1860 feet on the slopes of
Chimborazo they felt incapable for a
while of making the least exertion.
Subsequently, however, Mr.. Whimper
passed a night on the summit of Coto-
paxi, $4,000 feet high, without appar-
emily suffering In any way, and when
he made his second ascent of Chimbo-
razo he does not seem to have felt any
oppression whatever. On the other
summit mentioned, that of Cotopaxi, he
had been proceeded by Herr Won Thiel-
man, who was not apparently in the
least affected by the rarity of the air,
and of the five mountameers who accom-
panied him only one complained of
headache.
1t seems, then, clear that strong
man accustomed ito mountain walking
would be able, after allowing time for
his lungs to get acclimatized, to attain
without any difficulty height of 81 600
feet, and that he would possibly be able,
without any very great difficulty, to
mount | 900 feet higher. Whether any
man, however strong and practiced, can
go much beyond this, whether heights
of 5000 and "A, 900 feet can be reached
on foot, it is impossible at present to
say.
Mr.. Matthews, the late President of
the Alpine Club, who referred to this
subject III n paper on mountain climb
ing, seemed to think that even the sum-
nit of Mount Everest might not be unat-
tainable. Mount Everest, or Gauri
Sankar, towers by more than 5000 feet
over the highest point yet reached on
foot, and we fear that over the final
part of the walk up its atmospheric
conditions would severely try the
mountaineer. Unfortunately, the in
teresting experiment cannot be made,
as Mount Everest cannot be approached.
A peak more than $4,000 feet high is,
however, accessible; and now that Maj
Mitchell has shown that the difficulties
and expense of Himalayan travel are
not so great as they are supposed to be,
some adventurous members of the AL
pine Club may think of attempting the
ascent of the Monte Rosa of the Him
alayas. For the real enthusiast such an
expedition must have the greatest pos
sible attraction If he succeeds he will
achieve lasting renown, and If he fails,
and at %, 900 feet, or thereabouts, dies
literally from want of breath, his last
moments will be cheered by the thought
that he has made a highly interesting
experiment, and that he will rank
legitimately among the martyrs of
science saturday ReUieC.

Mexieans Not Good Linguists.

Mexican shopkeepers, hotel men,
restaurant walters, hack drivers and
other birds of prey who live upon
foreigners show curious indifference
to acquiring a smattering of English.
Commonly the stranger is met fully
half way in his anxious attempts 10
make his wants known, but here he has
to talk Spanish or take the conse-
quences. Even the peddlers who haunt
the hotels to sell such native curiosities
as feather work and spurious Aztec
idols cannot speak word of English.
Mexico is almost without guides and in
terpreters, and the stranger has to find
his way about and get along as best he
can. There is a good opening here for
n few polyglot Poles.-Cor. Ne,c York

lightweight Coins.

1t is well known that coins lose year
by year certain part of their intrinsic
value by abrasion in the ordinary and
legitimate wear and tear of trade. The
process is more rapid when the COINS
are new, because then the edges are
sharp, but it is steady and continuous
if the coins remain in circulation. Care
full estimates indicate, for example,
that an English sovereign loses, on the
average, one grain in twenty years. Just
at present the English bankers are IA
good deal disturbed over this matter,
because more than half of the gold. in
circulation in Great Britain is under
full weight. In their transactions with
the Bank of England the latter receives
only by weight what other banks and
bankers receive by tale, the consequence
being that most of the loss represented
by the margin between the two values
falls upon the banks. Several plans
have been suggested for remedying the
difficulty, and substituting full-weight
for lightweight coins. In 1912 and
1870, when the same trouble was ex-
erienced-though on neither occasion
was it so serious as now-the Bank of
England was empowered by a royal
proclamation to take all the light gold
brought to it, the price in 1912 being
93 us 104d per ounce, which is l id per
ounce more than the usual price for bar
gold, and Adj more than is generally
given for light gold coin. But the loss
on the light gold sent in was a good
deal more than Al, and was probably
Gil In, 1871 fha
allowed was I'D less, and the amount
sent in was trifling. The problem is q
very difficult one. The loss must fall
either upon the community, the banks,
or the unlucky last holders of light
weight pieces. 1t has been suggested
that the Government should make an
allowance of one grain in every sovereign
of 20 years old and of half grain in
half-sovereign of 10 years Old and so
on in proportion to age-this being the
known rate ut which the two coins be-
come reduced in weight. Another prop
osition IL that the Government
through the Bank of England, should
privately notify every bank of its readi-
ness before n certain date and within
certain limitations of full-weight for
lightweight coins. But it is doubtful
whether such degree of secrecy could
he preserved as would prevent con-
siderable disturbance of the currency
by the flooding of the banks with light
coins, to say nothing of the danger of
extending the practice of sweating"
coins by the use of acids and the bat
tery. There are, indeed, serious diff
culties in the way of any remedy that
can be suggested.

Beautiful japan.

Gush however much one may, using
seeming hyperbole and superlative adj
ie ctives, yet il is impossible to express
without their use that which will con-
vey even faint idea of the general and
particular beauties of the scenery OF
Japan. To appreciate how beautiful it
is it is necessary to see for ones self and
enjoy the luxury of experiencing the
delights that ravish the senses almost
to safety. l have met those who have
seen all the quarters of the globe, hav-
ing visited all the States of Europe and
been over India and done China from
Hongkong to the great wall, who de-
clare, without reserve, that Japan ex-
