An EEpe-lence n The IIIn,n,syas.

There Is some idea @! starting an Alpine
club in India. Those who hare assembled
Mount Blanc, and who sigh Tor fresh
mountains to conquer, might try their
luck in ascending some OF the peaks If
the Himalayas. According To General
Strachey, the whole Alps might be cast
into that great Indian range without pro
ducing any result that would be discern
Bile al distance of ten or fifteen miles. on
one OCCASION Mr.. Graham and his guides,
who were taken to India from Switzerland.

tude of 10000 feet, except the natural loss
of breath consequent on every ascent
Mr.. Graham S experiences during his IN
successful attack Of DEEa-i:i were not
altogether enviahle. Tie san came out
and beat upon him and his companions
with furnace heat The reflection from
the snow was very painful, and be thought
he was going to faint. At last they gained
a ridge, where the whole barty fell ,-.

PROVOKING TRAINS.
They Are Not Drawn by Engines, but
They Are Not Nearly So Useful.

They Are NOT Nearly SO Useful.
The trains of some girls are inspired and
possessed of an imp. A right minded train
should follow its wearer about and have
no mind of its own except so much as it
devotes to a sympathetic grasping Of its
wearer's plans. That is the way a right
minded train should be. If you turn to
the right to say Good evening" to Mr..
Smart, and are going to turn to the left
after you get through with Smart, and
say How do you do9" to Jumey, the train
ought to understand the idea at once, and
some trains do / mean the trains of some
girls do. Then again others cont.
When you go to turn to Jumley there
that train is right across your feet, and you
talk to him over a pile of tulle or brocade,
as the cas- may be. If he happens to offer
you his arru and suggests the conservatory
you actually have to refuse because you
could never get over that bloc kade and as
to walking around it, one docs so feel like
cat going around its tail. Besides it
looks so silly to say YES - a man, and
then, before you take his arm, go streaking
off in quite another direction TO get around
your dress. 1t is quite enough to make
him think he misunderstood, and by the
time you have got around he just as like
as not is gone. Yet suppose you take his
arm first. 1t is so horrid to Immediately
begin pulling him around your train. The
girl who has a right minded train never
has any of these dreadful complications,
but the rest of us do.
Why, that is one reason did not marry
young Biffle last season. had lovely
gown, with the train all studded with glass
cherries. Well, when C;ssy and l went
into the conservatory, what do you suppose
that train did? OF course il ! had sus-
pected he was going to propose | should
have been careful and looked out for it,
but didn't suspect, and left my train to
its own intelligence and it didn't have any
1t turned on the side nearest Cissy, and
there it was between US, and every time he
came up close some of the cherries would
crackle and break. OF ourse it scared
him each time, and there was dress spoiled
and didn't get the proposal after all. \
girl expects to more or less sacrifice the
dress she has on when she is proposed to-
but it's pity to have nothing come OF it
after all.
Ny train has way Of getting under my
feet or the chair of just the person from
whom | want to slip away, and there | am
and cannot move. Shall | ever forget that
awful evening when | was introduced to
Mrs. Fuilum BrastmeEi She vas an awful
old person, but very impor ant, because
Harry was going for a niece of hers and

Ons Schools, Greatest Task.

The statistics of the United States cen
sus bureau show that in eleven states and
two territories, in $780, there were more
children between the ages of five and sew
enteen who were either foreign born or the
children OF foreign born parents than
there were native white children of the
same age.
In several OF these states and territories
the disproportion was very great so that
in the public schools an American child Of
American pareulage was almost an oddity.
In the whole OF The United States there
are nearly 5,500,0O0 children between the
ages of five and seventeen who were either
born in foreign countries or have foreign
parents They are in fact more than one
taird of all the children in the country be
tween these ages.
Every such foreign child may we'll he
quite as good an American" rs a child
whose ancestors came over in the English
Mayflower or the Dutch Goede Vrouwe
Indeed American children of native race
are often surpassed in stout American
ism" by foreign born children.
Yet the child of foreign born PARENTS
who is generally without the homra,-l,i, ia
tons which go with long residence in the
country, has much to learn at school in or
der to make him thoroughgoing Ameri-
can. Ii is the problem of our schools to
assimiiate these children to an American
standart! Of life and ideas The number is
enormous. and in any other country of the
world the task might be impossible. For
tunately for u.s. the children Of the foreign
born generally enter the doors Of ourpubHc
schools with the best possible disposition to
become Americans.-Youth's Companion.

ThCY Didn't Lan~h.

1t was on a Cass avenue street car. A
lady was entering in the most dignified
manner, when shs suddenly stumbled and
fell awlswardiy before reaching a seat
1t happened that among tho passengers
were several of her friends, who We're too
polite to laugh or even smile at her man
ner of entrance, and as she seated herself
she was confronted by a row OF solemn
faces
Looking at them for moment - if dis
gusted with them, she rem irked audibly:
well, have my opinion of people who
don't know enough to laugh when they
have such an opportunity as that"
Then everybody smiled and felt better

scented by her father mule as wedding
