THE management Of the New Orleans
Times Democrat have been invited by the
Governors Of three Mexican States to send a
competent person to their capitals for the pur-
pose Of studying the traffic lines and the traffic
resources Of Northern Mexico. This most
positively refutes the idea that the Mexican
officials are antagonis,c to American enter
prise. 1t also shows that their leading men
appreciate the good will and influence Of the
papers, and are ready and willing to give any
and all information touching the new thor
ouehfares and channels for traffic which have
recently been opened up in all portions Of
Mexico.

there is great sameness in winter land
scapes. The contrast between the icy
| wastes and their June borderland of flowers,
or their October skirt of glowing foliage-I
say nothing of the popular but unpictur-

eternal SHOWS is no longer contrasted with
the dark outlines of the middle ranges. A
succession of white banks is often less beauti-
Jul than silver line. Snow spread broad

y Mountain climbing in winter, above the
summer snow-line has been proved by many
| experiences to have only one special danger

this season by an English lady the Schreck-

with the Orteler and half the eastern Alps,
have been climbed in winter without acci-

melt enough to freeze into a solid crust is
frequently in bad condition. The best
months are December and January; in Feb
ruary and March the temperature on the.
heights is colder, and much more snow falls.
1t is often warmer in winter on the peaks
than in the valleys and near the mountains

conclusion that it is only within limits that
the mountains can be said to cure consump-

MINISTER'S AND DYSPEPSIA.
Advice to Ailing CIergymen from a Friendly
Layman.

H. D. Burdette.
My dear young brother: If you can, at the
outset OF your ministerial career, entirely
divest yourself of any idea that you are pos
sessed of lungs, throat or liver, believe me, it
will be peace toyour bones and mercy to your
congregation, and your usefulness in the pull
pit will be largely increased
A whining man is always a horrible bore
under all circumstances and in any profess
sion. The more he whines, the less do we
sympathiZe with him. We strive to avoid
him. We listen to his complaints only when
he corners us; and then we don't believe
one-half OF them. And we charitably say
that he exaggerates the other half. And
when we believe he was only half
so i'll as he claimed to be at first
it follows that there is nothing whatever the
matter with him. You have seen those high
ly-colored manikins which the demonstrators
use on the platform, taking them apart to IL
lustrate lectures on anatomy? Well l have
sat under the ministry of some preachers
who came into the pulpit now and then, and
exhibited themselves before the congregat on
as living wonders of dyspepsia, bronchitis
asthma, NEURALGIA. headache, torpid livers
sore throat influenza, large and carefully
selected assortment of coughs and colds, and
rheumatic troubles, inhammations, conges-
tons, sprains, bruises Commissions, malarial
affections, and all the various Ills to which a
preacher is heir. IT, you are an invalid, my dear
brother, your congregation does MT want a
full report of your case and a detailed state
ment of the marvels of Liebig's Concentrates
Syrup of Ginseng every Sunday morning. If
a congregation is anything like other audi
ences, and think it is, it doesn't care one
cent for your physical condition. The indi-
vidual units of the congregation will be
moved with compassion for your infrmity
and will express and feel the deepest sympa-
thy with you. But the mass in the aggre-
gate will say, I'VE came here to hear good
sermon, not lecture on anatomy" And
they will expect a good sermon, too and
will complain if they don't get it. Preach
without any reference to yourself or your
physical condition. You can sometimes
preach headache away. If you can't you
will have to stand it. If you parade your
distress before your congregation, you only
distress the people, worry and irritate them
and drive them away from you. They will
even wish to goodness that man would
either get we'll or quit preaching" All this
has a heartless sound know, but believe
it to be true, and it isn't altogether heart
less. You must expect to preach sometimes
when you would rather run away, like
Jonah, than go into the pulpit. All men
feel that way at times, and all men, from
draymen to presidents work when they
dent feel like it,

THE ALPS IN WINTER.
Scenes of Beauty That Hardly Compensat,
for the Dangers and Discomforts.

Winter travel has many advantages, with
some draw backs. The supercilious landlord
if found at home, is converted into the most
obsequious of hosts. But ne is sometimes
out, and his larder may prove empty This
is less frequently the case in the Bernese
Overland and eastern Alps, where there is a
good deal of commercial traffic all through
the winter, than in the Pennine valley WIS.,

unless a snowfall has recently smoothed the
way for sledging. There may be in places
considerable danger from falling stones,
icicles, avalanches, but the exhlaration

valley travelling in summer, and the
absence of dust, tourists vans and
mule professions is compensation for
many Inconvenience. As to beauty, every
dripping crag is hung with ice fringes, every
cascade is turned into the cleaning ice pyra-

Colonel Taylor, the manager of the Boston
Globe, yesterday closed contract with Frank
Sddalls, of Philadelphia, the manufacturer
of the widely known Frank Siddalls soap,
for $40, 900 worth of advertising in his paper.
This is among the largest orders ever given to
any one newspaper by a single advertiser. 1t
forcibly illustrates the enormous power of adj
which has resulted in a wonderfully rapid
development of business. In single week as
many as 10 900 letters have been received by
this phenomenal advertiser from intelligent
women in all parts of the country inquirng
about his new idea, which does away with
the steam and Stop of washing-day. The
short space of three years has sufficed to make
the business equal, if not exceed that of the
oldest and largest soap manufacturers in the
world, and all through pure, simple newspa-

NOT AN ICEBERG.

Not Bit Stuck Up, but One ofthe Sweetest,
INCEST and JolIiest Girls the stage.
Gentlemanly Scene Shifter, in National Republican
The public has formed a wrong impress
sion of Mary Anderson. People think of her
as living iceberg. Nothing could be fur
Their from the truth. She is for all the world
like big school girl, chock full of animal
spirits and overlooking with jollity. Why l

ton jump on mans back and make him
carry her. Icebergs don't do that. She is
just the sweetest, incest and best girl you
ever met, and not bit stuck up when YOU
come to know her. When Louis James was
playing Romeo to her Juliet in this theater
two Or three years ago, he took her nose be-
tween his teeth when she stopped over to
take the poison off his lips, and held her an
unconscionable time. Mamma Griffin saw
what he was doing, and she was in an agony
OF fear lest the audience should see it too.

over to where / was standing he is biting
Mary's nose right there on the stage o. wish

when the curtain rung down. Mary chased
James all over the stage with piece of
board, and the company looked on and split
their sides laughing at the sight.
General Sherman always liked Mary An
derson, but since the papers blasted him for
kissing the chorus girls he has never gone
behind the scenes. When Bob Downing
