Mems Dress for Summer.

The sash never obtained much favor
among men who dress particularly well;
there was something about it that was
too "dressy" and conspicuous to suit a
quiet taste, and this summer it is con-
sidered almost obsolete. The narrow,
plain russet belt is now declared to be
the thing to wear with flannel suits
The flannel shirt also seems thing o.
the past and is replaced by cheviots and
Oxfords. These shirts are laundered
without starch, with the exception of
collars and cuffs, which are stiff and are
generally worn with gold studs.
The delicate colors of pink and blue
which seem to be the favorite this
season are very becoming, and look par
ticularly well with white fsnnels.
White flannel trousers with light gray
homespun jacket, russet belt, and chev-
lot shirt look always decidedly good
form, while the narrow striped flannel
suits, with coat and trousers to match,
still hold their own as general faVoriteA
In the way Of shoes russet leather Ok
fords are worn as much as ever, but the
colors are rather darker than last year.
In fact well dressed man is almost al
ways eminently quiet" in ais colors,
although the bright red neckties worn
this year with gray and brown suits are
such pretty innovations in the way Of
color that they have become very popu-

The Judge Fined Himself.

Perhaps the most disgusted man in
Somerset county is a justice Of the
peace, who IS the owner Of a fine gar
den, the pride of his heart. The other
day he was informed that an Unruly COW
had wrought desolstion in mis- Eden, and
be at once ordered the animal sent to the
pound Then he went Z 70 view the
wreck, and after noting the vacant
places where the beets and corn had
been, the trampled down squashes and
cabbages, and the demorahzed pea vines
and sunfowers, and ascertaining, as he
supposed, the owner Of the cot, he
made out writ against that individual
containing fourteen different and dis
tinct counts, including trespass, forcibls
entry, malicious mischief, nuisance,
riotous and diserderly conduct, and as
saUlt and battery with intent TO kill
II was then that he learned that the
trsspasser was his own COW, and his ire

Graybaoh's Perpetual Shows.

A party of local explorers, among
whom were the Rev. J. H. Cross and
Rev. A. A. Holden, has just returned
from an excursion to the top of Gray.
back, noted mountain that stands
guard on the north side of San Gorge
Mo pass. After spending the night on
the peak the party started to return by
different route. On their journey they
saw canyon about 900 feet deep, with
perpendicular walls, and on peering oven
the side, snow was seen at the bottom.
Going to the head Of the canyon they
found place where they could slide
down, and one by one the party took
the risk.
After sliding several hundred feet they
came to body Of ice and snow, which
they followed down. 1t was nearly a
mile in length, and from the cracks it
was ascertained that the ice was about
% feet thick by 60 feet wide. Large
powders as big as house were lying on
top of the ice. There was no appear
ance of the glacier melting, and the sun
does not reach the bottom of the canyon
more than an hour each day. That the
glacier possessed motion was proved by
the fact that immense rocks were pushed
forward out of their beds by masses Of
ice and snow.
The bottom Of the cracks was of
dirty yellowish color and looked very
old There is a stream of water flowing
from the lower end, probably fed by
springs under the glacier and mass Of
ice, which may have benin that canyon
for ages By testing the thermometer
in boiling water Grayback was found to
be exactly II, ,920 feet above the sea level.
Water was boiled at 192 degs. Fahren-
heit.
The camp was some 5000 feet below
the peak, and one of the party on the top
tried his voice and shouted in the direc-
ton of the camp, and those who re-
mained below stated that they heard the
voice family. The temperature on the
top of the peak was 80 degs. at 4 o'clock
in the morning, but small lake up there
was frozen and covered with snow
