MOUNT SHASTA.
The Mountain Wonder Of the Sacramento Valley
Graphically u 'scribed.

The Mountain Wonder OF the Sacramento Valley
Graphically Described.
Just rs Shasta formed the Landmark, for the
trappers aud hunters and miners Of 40 and 30
years ago. so is il now tho beacon for travellers
for many miles in every direction. Going
northward by rail through the Sacramento
Valley one catches occasional glimpscs OF its
snow-white slopes many hours before the base
is reached As the train winds in and out
along the curves and twists Of the Sacramento
Canyon, one sees every few minutes, now from
this side OF the car aud now from the other, the
summit Of tine peak, which grows grander and
grander and more and more lofty the closer 10
is approached. Although apparently near at
hand il is hours before the spot Is reached from
which the mountain Is most readily accessible
aud from which a full and unrestricted view
OF the peak can be had. Such spot is SissOns,
in the famous Strawberry meadows almost at
the base of the mountain. though itself at an
elevation OF several thousand feet.
From this point a clear and unObstructed
view can be hal Of the entire western slope Of
the mountain. There IS first a gradual rise
through the timber belt, then comes an open
stretch covered with grass or low chaparral,
and then the snow line is reached and there is
apparently a single broad smooth sweep upward
over tho snow aud on 20 the summit, more than
two miles above the spot where the observer
stands. Seen in the late Spring or early Summer,
before the snow on tho lower slope, has melted
away, Shasta is in her graHdest mood. The
dark green Of tho pine forests, the gray granite
Of the cliffs and the tremendous eXpause OF
snowdrift aud glacier, with tho ragged outline
OF the summit delineated sharply and distinctly
against the deep blue Of the sky, form picture
that lives in the memory forever.
All Summer long scarce a cloud obscures tho
peak hut week after wcel; 10 raises its proud
head into the clear azure above the surround
ing mountains, which are but pigmies in COM
parison, and exposes every feature Of its noble
slopes, tremendous precipices aud eternal drifts
OF snow and ice 10 tho awcstruck gaze Of mau.
IL is only for brief seasons that the lofty mount
aims Of the Old World are unobsCurcd by cloud
and fog, and an unobstructed view from or Of
their SUBMITS is so seldom obtained as TO be
noteworthy. Not 50 with Shasta, however,
aud one can climb that mountain at almost AM
time during the Summer with the assurance Of
being amply rewarded with perfect view.
On the slopes of SHASTA are two immense
glaciers one Of them being half mile wide
and over two miles in length. IL is the melt
ing Of these vast frozen streams and of the snow
fields that cover the mountain % tremendous
depth that gives rise TO the Sacramento and
some Of the tributaries OF the Klamath River,
the source being a never-faiing one.

THE FINGER NAILS.
Important Reasons Why the Tips should De Kept
Clean.
IRnEfon EntI

b0u0A fo1tl
There Is a common belief that the finger
nails are poisonous. which idea is natural
enough considering the fact that scratches made
by them are generally quite irritable and much
inclined 10 unusual Inflammation.
The reasoning is erroneous, however, for, as
far as is known, the nails themselves do not
have any poisonous properties. Tho trouble
excited 10y them is due to the foreign deposits
under them. In other words. IL one keeps his
finger nails clean, scratches caused by them
will be no more irritable than those produced
by any like instrument that IS considered in
noceut.
The result Of the examinations made in
Vienna show that it IS more important that
the finger nails be kept clean than anyone
would suppose. Scyenty-eight wcro made,
aud there were found 30 kinds Of micrococci,
lsdiferent bacll t. and three kinds Of sarcenae;
besides, common mold spores were present in
many instances.
IL would seem from this that the spaces un-
der the finger nails were favorable hiding
places for the minute organisms which are
more or less prejudical 10 health, and that
therein lies the poisonous element attributed to
the nails. Furthermore that cleanliness OF the
nails is very important essential. IL is not
sufficient TO use merely a knife blade, but at
the toilet nail brush aud plenty Of soap aud
water should be called into service.
Surgeons long ago learned that deposits I'M
der the nails were a menace, aud that through
them wounds were easily poisoned. This led
20 extreme care in the matter of personel
cleanliness on their own part and OF the part
Of all their assistants Before an operation is
performed all who touch the patient or the in
stfumcnts which arc 70 be used must frst clean
their hands thronghly with soap aud water
being especially careful 10 have the spaces un-
der the nails absolutely clean. After this the
hands are put into disinfcctant solutions.

EDITOR NATIOStL TRIBUNE: The indus
trial classes are watching with great interest
the silver discussion, and note carefully from
whence comes the opposition 10 il.
The merchants. bankers and interest gather
ers Of the great cities Of the East have arFayed
themselves against the West, the South. the
Farmers Alliance, and the lahOring classes
generally. each having their champions in the
Senate aud House Of Congress. There is no
longer any sense or reason in the arguments
produced by the opponents Of silver, aud no
one can have any doubt at this time about the
good results that will follow its restoration.
Any law enacted that will tend to absorb the
silver product OF tho United States will soon
bring itup Ia par with gold ana the result will
be AZ once so beneficial 10 all kinds of industries
throughout the country that the people will
wonder how any member Of Congress, with
ordinary intelligence, opposed measure OF
such importance.
Perhaps it is the good moro than the evil re-
suits they fear now, is why some of them con-
time 10 fight with such bitterness any measure
that tends to advance silver
When summed MP, IL amounts simply to
war waged by the "nabobs" and interest
gathcrcrs, with their millions Of boarded gold,
against the farmers the veterans and all IN
dustrious people who earn their own bread
The loss to the country caused by the depre-
citation of prices since the decentralization Of
silver has been far greater than tho entire cost
of the rebellion and, let il be remembered, this
was accomplished at the instance aud through
the efforts of the same class Of greedy sharks
who are now trying TO defeat honest legisa-
tion in behalf Of a patient and long-suiiering
people.
Let petitions be sentt to Congress from every
State, township and village throughout this
great Republic, setting forth the fact, for such
it is, that tho restoration Of silver rs money
will bring such prosperity to the country rs It
has not known for the past IS years, and urge
their Representatives to vote accordingly

LintIess Cotton.

SPARTANBuRG, S. G. Aug. 21-Mr. Fl,
T. Ferguson, of Woodruff, was in the city
yesterday. He had with him stalk OF
his celebrated lintless cotton, which has
attracted 30 much attention. The stalk
contained about 300 bolls, each COM
pletely filled with large seed, which,
when ripe, are black, resembling much
in appearance the seed of sea island cot
ton.
Lintless cotton is not a. freak, but an
entirely new variety, whose seed repro.
duce themselves every year. Mr.. Fergu.
son has taken much pains to perfect the
variety, and this year he will have
enough seed to plant the entire State.
The estimated yield On average land
with moderate cultivation is 400 bushels
to the acre. 1t is as easily gathered as
the ordinary cotton, but must be gathered
just as the bolls crack, else the seed will
drop out.
MIR. Ferguson is confident that lint!ess
cotton will revolutionize this country.
Four hundred bushels Of the seed to the
acre is equal to several sacks of guano as
a fertilizer, and the cost of raising The
400 bushels is nothing in comparison
with the cost of commercial fertilizers.
Letters of inquiry regarding the new
plant are constantly being received, and
MIR. Ferguson expects large sale of seed.
He says the yield of oil is about one
third more than ordinary seed.
He had on exhibition stalk Of cotton
which he grated on a persimmon bush.
The leaves of the plant resemble slightly
those of the persimmon tree, but bear no
fruit. While it is curious, and tact
not generally known, that cotton could
be grated, the discovery is without prac.
tical beneft.-Special to Columbia STATE.

No rule of the board of trustees will

higher preparation than what might be
given by the ordinary country school.
Many will have to enter preparatory
classes, but these are college classes in
everything but grade. The same build
ings and teachers will be used in these

misunderstanding of the first circular is
sued has been so common, I am only too
glad to correct it through the use of your

Being in q position that brings me into
frequent conference with the trustees as
to the plans of the college, I am glad that
I e.u able to bear testimony to the fact
that they are united in the resolution to
raise no barrier to the use of the facilities
of the college that would exclude any boy
who could have reasonable expectation
Of using those facilities. The second

Lancaster Alliance Demands Less Cot
ton.-One Practical Experiment.

As will be seen elsewhere the county
Alliance has passed a resolution not to
plant but ten acres to the mule, horse or
OK, in cotton another year. This is one
of the best things our Alliance has ever
done. It will reduce the acreage Of cot
ton in this county fully one-half and will
increase the area for corn, wheat, oats,
rice, sorghum, potatoes, peanuts, ETC., by
just that much. We hope that every
farmer, whether he is an allianceman or
not, will stand by the resolution. If they
do they will soon become independent.
If there is one who thinks it will not
pay, we refer him to MI. a. J. Thomson.
Mr. T. resolved few years ago that he
would quit cotton, only as a surplus crop.
He reduced his acreage more than the
Alliance proposes to. He only plants
seven acres to the horse, but he lives at
home. He is independent. We were at
his home few weeks ago. 1t looks like
living at his house. $50 bushels of wheat,
corn and roughness two years old, ten
large fat hogs, fat COWS and yearlings in
his pasture, fine fields of corn, potatoes
and pinders, and only seven acres of cot
ton that looked like it would make bale
to the acre. He said that he quit cotton
with fear and trembling, but to-day, in
stead of running on lien for supplies,
he is independent.
The alliance has at last struck the key
note to prosperity. 1t is better late than
never. Devote your time to discussing
what to raise and how to raise it. Get
the best methods of farming by expert
ment and give your brother alliancemen
the benefit of your experience. Do your
buying and selling toyour best advantage.
Keep posted on prices and let
politics slone. Legislation will never
make the farmer rich. Do this and your
order will thrive and you'll become inde.
pendent and prosperous.-Lancaster
