Special to the Gazette.
AUSTIN, TEX, Jan. 13.-The legis-
lators have been taking a day of rest,
and very little talk has been heard upon
which to base predictions of what is to be
done.
DR.. Tolar has bill designed to secure
a uniform system of text books in the
public schools of the state which he viii
introduce tomorrow. The cost of text
books has long weighed heavily upon the
school patrons, putting their purses at
the mercy of the teachers, and a proper
law in this behalf viii make its protector
popular all over Texas.
There viii be trouble here
later in the session over the
question of taxation. Colonel Gresham
and others, who properly informed
themselves, told the reformers at the
special session that the 20 cent tax for
next year would leave deficiency, and
it is going to do just that thing. The
question is, will this legislature meet the
issue by raising the rate for next year,
or will they leave to the next legislature
the duty of meeting a deficiency. Here
is prediction: They will shift the bur-
den to their successors.
There is an influence at work-silently,
stealthily intangibly-to raise up oppo-
sition to Coke. 1t viii not work out.

ALPINE TOURISTS AND GUIDES.
Successful Climbing impossible without
the Rope-FOOIhardy Daring.

SucceSslul CltmOt Impossible Without
the Rope-FoOIhardy Daring.
youths CompanionI
The Alpine life preserver is the rope.
Without this, successful climbing is i'm
possible, and life is needlessly risked
a rope, an alpenstock, or long pole with
a sharp iron end, and an ice ak, are the
guides stock in trade.
The rope in general is MANILA, weigh
ing little over an ounce to the foot,
and capable Of sustaining dead weight
of more than twenty tons. The rope is
from 100 to go feet long and is fast
ened about the waist of every member
of the party, who marching in single
file twelve or fifteen feet apart, keep
the rope perfectly taut at every slept.
AS a rule, however, the Alpine guides
are careful and brave. Their principal
danger often comes from the fOolhardi-
ness of the people who look to them for
protection, but who refuse to follow
their advice. Some travellers persist in
crossing glaciers without using ropes,
or in ignoring the instability of new
snow, or in talking continually, and
thereby exhausting themselves before
they are halfway up the mountain.
They walk into crevaSses with their
eyes turned skywards, and the guide
risks his life in pulling them out again.
They refuse to husband their strength,
and the guide has to carry them down
steep paths barely a foot wide, with
a frowning wall of rock on one hand,
1, O00-fOot precipice on the other, and
a swaying body on his back
In climbing the Alps, both tourists
and guides take their lives in their
hands. But the tourists are emboIdened
to the risk by love of adventure or a
foolhardy daring. They risk their lives
needlessly. But the guides make it
their daily work They are protectors,
pilots, rescuers. Upon them depend
the lives of hnn6rads of rannIa andstn
save or protect these lives they are for
ever endangering their own.

Forest Products vs.. Gold and Silver.

The forest products of the United
States are worth to-day not less than
$500, 900, 900, which is a good deal more
than the value of the metal and mineral
output of all our mines of coal, gold,
silver, copper, iron and lead all put to-
gether.
The annual yield of our gold and sill
ger mines is worth less than one tenth
of this enormous total, and forest pro-
ducts, in a vast number of direct and
indirect ways, are essential to every in
dustry in which civilized men engage.
