Sliding Down an Alpine Slope,

In front of us were large family of peaks; Pig Morteratsch, Pig Tschierva, the Cresta Aginza, Pig Zupo, Pig Palu, Pig Cambrena and, dominating them all in pride and great ness, Pig Bernina, which has an altitude of 13,300 feet above the sea. The sea of ice which encircles it has a circuit of more than fifty miles, and its azure waves, piled up in defiles or crowded into gorges, run down many steep inclnes to the bottom of valleys In places they pass between two rocky points, and, springing upward, remain sus- pended over the abyss for while Then they break, their debris freeze into solid mass and form a new glazier, which pursues its slow but sure onward march toward that point where the ice begins to melt and form the torrents that feed the great rivers of cen tral Europe. The Rhone, the Rhine, the Inn and the Aar are among those which thus start from Alpine glaciers.
 The snow was cleared away from rock and we sat down to eat our luncheon. Thus refreshed, wo started for the lower world again. The guides unwound their rope, we tied ourselves together, and then descended steep and dangerous precipices. By and by we reached gentle incline covered with snow, and the guide halted us. Would we like some fun9 he asked. We answered that we were game for anything, and we clustered around him. "Well, we will slide down this slope. There is no danger, and if the lady is not afraid of her s1irts'- Il am afraid of nothing" she interrupted. Start as quickly as you please; am ready We all sat down on our great coats and wraps, the guides ahead, and Mademoiselle between me and her father, he holding her by the legs and she holding mine. Then we started; the soft snow flew over us in a cloudy spray; we descended swiftly, and at the bottom of the slope we picked ourselves up, shook the snow out of our eyes, and all declared ourselves delighted. A few minutes later we were down at the MorteratscI restaurant, whero we found carriage ir which we rode to Poutresima.-C Cor. New York Times

woman's Work in Corsica.

She takes pretty nearly the heaviest share of the days labor, and though sometimes al- lowed @ voice in family matters, is never per mitted to show an independent will or wish before strangers. Only too often however she is mere cipher in family conclaves, obeys her lord and masters behests, but does not originate a single idea. Out of doors the men go forth to work solemnly, gun in hand, while the women walk behind carrying the heavy tools or cumbersome wood fagots. If tho happy couple have to climb a steep and stony path, and they happen to possess only one horse, it is the man who bestrides the wiry limbed beast. while the wife may consider herself lucky if she be permitted to catch hold of the stirrup leather or the horses tail.
 Much has been said and written about the stern and unreasoning jealousy of the Cor sicans for their women. As rule, they are not given to frivolity, but after careful ob- servation we feel inclined to modify our opinions of the high instincts of the race in this connection. True, woman is sacred there is, however, very little sentiment in this feeling. She is sacred because she is mans chattel, and therefore an insult offered to her is an attack on mans honor. Here the ''green eyed monster" is a slave and not a master. Sill, life outside the larger coast towns may be considered pure enough.-"G. C. R." in Home Journal.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1888-11-30
To Make the Heart Strong.

Now there is but ono legitimate way of making the heart strong. That is by taking regular, systematic and sufficient muscular exercise, into which climbing heights or stair cases enters as a prominent feature. Let 8 person who finds his pulse increased fifty to sixty beats in minute after mounting a staircase climb a hundred staircases day after day for month or more and he will find that the exertion does not add ten beats to the normal number of his heart throbs The exercise has acted upon this vital organ just as it does on the biceps of a prize fighter or a blacksmith. and strength and the capac- ity for endurance have been the result.
 But this is not all the good that will be gained by climbing hundred staircases a day-say fifty in the morning and fifty in the afternoon. Doubtless the person with a weak heart has suffered more or less from what is called nervous dyspepsia. Eis food, instead of being properly digested, has been mainly fermented in his stomach and has caused him various uncomfortable feelings, which he has been in the habit of attributing to everything but their proper cause, Not only have the hundred minutes or so spent in climbing staircases put strength into his legs, expanded his chest and saved his heart from fatty degeneration, but they have given tone to his abdominal muscles and to his digestive organs His food no longer lies like lump of lead in his stomach, torpor has disappeared from (what we physicians call and which, for the sake of delicacy, I must here designate them) his chylopoetic wis cera and his system gets the full benefit of the food which is required for its nourish- ment.-Dr. William A. Hammond.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1888-11-30
Writers for the Daily Press,

The daily press of New York is uniquely situated at the present moment. Every posi- ton of any consequence on every paper in the city is filled to the complete satisfaction of the proprietors. These positions are flied, yet one who devotes his whole time to news paper work is unable to find out who their occupants are. Occasionally the name of an editor, or of dramatic critic, is accidentally learned It is perfectly safe to say that every editor and every dramatic critic in town wants his name known by the people for whom he writes The silent subjugation of these writers is the greatest affiiction of their trade. It is what restraints them from attain ing their honest, appropriate level. It is what may often keep mediocrity in the fore. ground and superiority in the shadow.
 The custom is responsible for that writing found in newspapers to which any self re- specting man would be ashamed to put his name. It is responsible for that torrent ot perpendicular twaddle against which all ill. telligent newspaper readers are constantly entering objections. It keeps men in posi- tion who do not deserve positions on any literary publication. A writer might dc twenty years of bad work on newspaper and the readers would come to accept it as necessary blemish on their journal, looking at it as bit of machine made mediocrity But no man could do twenty years of ba6 work over a signature. In a very short time the public would fix his status Stupidity over signature could never sell itself fol two or three cents a day for any length oi time.-C. M $. Mcclellan in The Writer.
