CHAPTER VIII.
AN ALARM.

AN ALAhms
On q certain still, clear, moonlight night
a dogcart containing two young men was
being driven away from the little town Of
Mendover, out into the wide, white, silent
country. The driver was Lord Mussel-
burgh, and he seemed in high spirits, talk
ing to his companion almost continuously,
while he kept the stout little cob going at
rattling pace,
ST am more pleased than can tell you,"
he was saying. "Quite q triumph Why,
you took to it as duck takes to water. OF
course there's something in having re-
sponsive audience; and you can always get
a noble band of patriots to cheer your pro-
posal for pr ogressive income tax when not
one In ten of them has am income tax to
pay. I'm afraid they weren't quite so en-
thusiastic about your scheme of compulsory
insurance; indeed they seemed little dis
appointed and offended; the Champion Of
the Proletariat was playing it little low
down on them; but heavily increasing in
come ta1-oh, yes, that was splendid!-they
saw the Rolhschilds caught at last. and
had visions of land in which there
shall be no more poor-rates or police-rates,
perhaps not even water-rates or gas-rates.
But it was your confounded coolness that
surprised memo beating about the bush
walking straight into it-and without
preparation, too"
81 knew wnat I had to say" Vincent in
terposed, with becoming modesty, "and it
seemed simple enough to say it."
"Yes, and so 1t is-when you have ac-
quired the knack of forgetting yourself"

many OF the natives engaged in cutting
down trees. About third Of the distance

chalet with an unpronounce-
able German name where refreshments
were provided. 1t was of the toughest con-
struction imaginable, with rustic benches
in front, but bed of eiderdown was never
SO re reshing to the weary traveller as these
benches we're to the mountain climbers.
Three OF my English friends who had
stouter legs than mine had already arrived,
and were getting away with some English
ale and strawberries. I succeeded in un-
earthing some prehistoric sausage. the
paper around it was stained with age After
also unearthing some "rugen brod," I
asked for mustard, but not speaking Ger
man, after making all the pantomines pos
sible, and being brought everything but
mustard, it at length arrived when 1 was
nearly finished. One thing certain, they
could beat plumber in charges.
IN FoGs AND CLOUDS.
My pen cannot do justice to the grandeur
of the panorama of the lakes and valleys of
Switzerland as they uniolded themselves to
my gaze as assembled higher and higher.
One moment would be enveloped in a cold,
dense fog, and as ii by magic in the next
moment it would clear away, disclosing one
of the mountain peaks ahead of me in all
its sky-piercing sublimity. The path was
zigzag, and as looked down over it was
surprised at its regularity. The mountain
paths are well taken care of by the hotel
proPrietors.
One of the chief dangers in mountain
climbing is of party ahead of you dis
lodging a stone which rolls down with
frightful speed. The best thing to. do If you
slip in climbing, is to throw yourself on the
ground. had some practical experience

in place of a zigzag. Suddenly I lost my
center of gravity and was in minute rush.

A CROW INDIAN PICNIC.
Some Realistic Represeutntions of Hideous
Battle Scenes.

Some Realistic Representations of Hideous
Battle Scenes.
Helena Journal
"I saw one of the grandest sights ever
saw in my life on the Fourth" said
General Brisbin. ''The Crow Indians
celebrated the Fourth, and it is impossible
to describe the scenes enacted. They went
wild with delight and entered into the
sport in earnest.
'There wer. 250 of the Crows altogether.
IN the first place they made false faces of
blue clay and pieces of canvas, rendering
their appearance perfectful irightful. 1t is
truly wonderful the way they got mp the
faces. Some had long noses, others long
chins, some had horns upon their heads,
and, in fact, they were made up in every
conceivable shape. They also decorated
their persons in every imaginable style.
The ponies were covered with canvas,
gorgeously decorated with everything they
could get hold Of The agent had arranged
for their amusement on that occasion, but
the details were left for them to fill up.
sent battery over at their request, and a
continued roar was kept up all day.
"Theysperformed in large circle, and
their chief delight was 10 sham battles The
scenes were SO realistic that it was difficult
to realize that they were not in earnest. They
dashed about the ring upon their ponies,
fighting with wooden lances. Some OF the
Indians would pretend that they were killed
or wounded, when they would be carried
from the battlefield and attended by those
selected for that purpose. The scalping
scene was the great feature OF the occa-
sion. They had taken pieces of flannel
and fastened them upon the heads of those
who were to be pretended victims. and
when this was removed with the scalplng
knives the face:was besmeared with red ink
to give the appearance of bleeding wohnds.
1t was a most hideous spectacle, and the
ladies who had gone down to witness the
event were compelled to leave, 1t was so
shockingly terrible. The Indians, how
however, enjoyed the sport hugely, and at
night had big war dance.
SIT was impossible to get them to return
home to their farms for three days. The
agent says that this will be the last one, as
1t excites the young bucks too much aud re-
calls old times to the warriors, attracting
them from their civilized pursuits. 1t seems
remarkable that none of the redskins were
injured. Their horsemanship is superb,
and it is worth going thousands of miles to
see the exhibitions OF horsemanship given
by that tribe. Altogether 1t was one of the
grandest sights 1 ever saw, and I never ex-
pect to see its equal"
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1890-08-24

peaks, the Fennesterhoru, the Schreckhorn,
the Silverhorn, the Matterhorn, ETC., with
the vast snowfelds at their bases. As the
day grew older the mist underneath COM
menced to break up and ascend the mount
ain peaks. Now and then, through a
break in the cloud, could be discerned the
shining Lake of Lucerne underneath.
About 10 o'clock the shifting mists. the
SHOWS, the shadows on the mountains, the
lakes and valleys of Switzerland made a
panorama the equal of which I suppose
cannot be seen in any part OF the world.
A FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.
During nv stay on the mountain top I
was witness to a terrible accident. Two
hundred Austrians arrived on an excursion.
A wall runs around the hotel premises on
the mountain summit, and on one side the
mountain shelves very abruptly. One of the
excursionists jumped off this wall onto the
side of the slope to gather some flowers, and
losing his balance, he rolled like wheel
some 400 feet down and vaulted over a
huge ledge of rock into a rocky
ravine. I got on the scene a few
minutes after, and could plainly see
him laying in pool of blood, and moaning
piteously. 1t took full half hour for
three expert climbers to bring him up to
the hotel. I never saw any person worse
mangled in railway accident. He was
without medical care for several hours. and
died in great agony the same day.
When I reached the bottom there was
very little left of my shoes which were in
good condition the previous day. Ny adj
vice to mountain climbers is to take the
train which runs up the side of the mount
ain opposite the side I ascended.

It takes away all the beauty Of the calf,

shin bone is barely covered with flesh, and
vet her face is fat and her arms are plump.
The Chinese women fatten easily, and fat

article is in the spreading apart Of the big
toe from the other toes of the foot. This
comes from the Japanese stocking and the
Japanese shoe. The japanese stocking
reaches only about three inches above the
finger for the big toe, and the string OF the
sandal comes between the big toe aud the
rest Of the little toes, forcing them apart
YUM YuM's TOILET.
The japanese girl is always we'll dressed
and she wears one of the most picturesque
costumes of the East. She believes in paint
and powder and knows as much about hair
oil as her American sister. The japanese
woman has the most gorgeous waterfall of
the Orient and the women of other nations
paw as much attention to putting up their
hair as we do. Yum Yum is not at all
ashamed of making her toilet either and
she sits on the floor before an omen door or
window primping before a mirror. She
looks at you and smiles as you pass by
and she generally has maid to help her
primp and powder.
1t costs about 20 cents for the professional
hairdresser to put sp a woman's hair in
Japan. 1t is stifened with paste, and the
young lady is not expected to have it put
up more than once q week. She lies at night
with her hair on wooden pillow about as big
as loaf of bread to keep her perfumed
locks fiom the floor, and she makes it q
