The Crater Of Mount Tacoma.

Mount Rainier, otherwise known as
Mount Tacoma, in Washington Terri
tory, has been assembled but twice the
first time six years ago by Hazard Ste
vens and j. III. Van Trump, and the sec.
ond time only last week by Messrs.
Longmire, Van Trump, Baylcy and
Ewing. They camped over night in the
crater, amid fleecy clouds of smoke and
steam. The rocks in the crater were
so hot that they could not be touched
without burning their hands. OF all
the peaks in the Northwest, Mount Ia
coma Is considered the most difficult of
ascent A Washington Territory cor
respondent, in reccnt letter to the
San Francisco Chronicle, speaking on
this point, SAYS: Two persons claim
10 have scaled the mountain to the very
summit. Notwithstanding their asser-
tons, the story Is very generally dis
credited. II is thought no human foot
has ever pressed those lofty regions of
everlasting Arctic rigor The ascent Is
considered beyond the power of human
achievement. Indians who have lived
great many years near the peak, and
who ought to be personally conversant
with the difficulties and pcrils of the
ascent, affirm that il Is impossible for
any one TO reach the top. The distance
! is so long, the obstacles SO great, and
the cold so intense, that pe person,
however Injured to toll, hardship and
exposure, could accomplish the trip
and return in one day. Virginia City

Chinese Girls Not Appreciated.

1t is sad disappointment if, con-
trary to expectations, daughter az
rives upon the scene. No red eggs are
sent with hearty congratulations and
bencdictions as ut the birth of n boy.
The whole household considers such an
event beneath its notice, and the down
east parents almost apologize for an
nouncing so uninteresting a piece of in
telligence. In the case of wealthy
homes this does not necessarily imply
any deficiency of parental feeling. The
baby girl is there nursed ms tenderly as
boy, but her value Is diminished by
the consideration that she is of no per-
manent use to the family and must
eventually pass TO another home for
ever. The birth of girls is sore trial
to poor families, and in some cases the
occasion of the most unnatural OF
crimes. A great deal of nonsense has
been written about tho universal prev,
alencc of infanticde in China, and half
the books on Chinese social life must be
read Gun, graao salis. When it is con-
sidered that every lad can wed an eligi-
BILE damsel, it is really surprising how
widely the stories about slaughtered
Celestial girls have been credited. IL
would be equally misleading to assert
the entire absence of infanticide. The
truth, as usual, lies between two ex-
tremos. II must be admitted that there
are districts where it Is largely prac-
ticed. In one poverty stricken locality
the death Of girls was so serious that
the mandarins interposed, forbidding
the barbarous practice of destroying fe.
male babies. A boatwoman once told
me with the utmost sang5jroid that she
had drowned five OF her infant daugh-
tcrs with her own hands almost as soon
as they were born, and defended her in
human conduct by the plea that such
an early fate was better than starvation
and slavery. A woman employed as
nurse in foreigners family in Canton
told rue that out OF eleven sisters her
father had only permitted two to sur
