FUN WITH WILD GOATS.
An Old Hunters Lively Experience IN The
Cascade Mountains.

Cascade Mountains.
Wild goat hunting has begun again
in the Cascade Mountains John Bef-
nard, of Lake Chelan, and one of the
| oldest residents of the region has ar.
| rived here, and the news that he brings
is that the country is fairly swarming
! with wild goats, especially on the north
side of the lake.
"All the goats arc very white" he
said, land it is only lately that they
could be distinguished There has till
now been good deal of snow, and this
has made il comparatively safe for these
wild animals. However. all winter long
expert shots have been picking them
off.
"Ihe greatest rendezvous is on the
ridges of mountains between the lake
and Methow, west of the Columbia.
There from 100 to 200 can not infre-
vucntly be seen in u single band. Bor-
1cring tho lake u dozen alta time can be
seen all along there, md groups of four
to ten are vcry common.
Lately they have been killed for
their meat us well as their skins. The
meat OF the male goat is tough and
strong, but that of the kids md ami.
mails, say II year old, is sweet and nu.
tritious and altogether very pleasant. A
man has to BE- very hungry, though,
who will cat the flesh of the ancient
mountain climbers, of which there are
many there.
"They are as fleet as anything that
can be imagined / have lately beer
hunting on the Mcthow river. This is
y rapid-runnipg stream, putting into
the Columbia about fifteen miles north
of the Chelan river. The latter river is
IA short and very rapid torrent with
many falls, coming from Lake Chelan.
Almost anywhere between these wild
goats may be found but the country is
cut up with terrible high mountains
and deep gorges There ar2 also small
lakes held in the fastncsscs of these
mountains, some of which have been
discovered in the last year.
Myself and two companions left the
Methow only eight days ago. We had
been in there from Lake Chelan for
three weeks, and in that time we
killed 105 goats. Some of the time the
sport was very exciting. We had to
camp on the steppes, and once we got
caught in a furious storm. 1t blew up
very cold. We had only our blankets
and tent. We found a patch of forest
and there we pitched camp and re-
manned for three days without moving.
I'm this time numberless goats came
down the mountains to our sheltered
nook, and we could pick them off as
fast and as easily as we wished. We
did not kill all we could not feeling
like taking advantage of them at such
time. Besides we had all we needed
of the fattest goats to eat, and did not
care to kill any more.
'The skins are worth very little in
that country, they are so numerous. but
they are very soft, white and beautiful,
and once you get them to Spokane or
Puget Sound they are worth S3 or 81
apiece. In the vicinity of Methow 81 or
81 is "a big price. Here they are worth
easily IS to $40. 1t is perilous work
climbing those mountains and it must
be done very carefully. Several persons
have been injured, some of them quite
seriously. this winter."-San Francisco

THE COMPOSITOR.
His Work Is Arduous and His Hours Ir-
regular.

MS bOIh 10 LlIuuOus his HOURS IF-
regular.
The compositor is usually man of
nimble fingers, active mind and plenty
of endurance. Especially is the last
named qualification necessary on a
morning newspaper. His hours there
are about as follows: Commence set
ting type at 1880 p. m, work until three
o'clock the next morning, with an in
termission of fifteen minutes for lunch
con; sleep and recreation until one p.
NJ, then three hours of the afternoon
in filing the cases with the type which
was set up the night before. Then he
has two and one-half hours for rest and
supper. These hours are bad enough,
bat the worst part of it is they are not
regular, but vary more or less accord
ing to the size of the paper issued On
Saturday the comp" often puts in four.
teen hours of good hard work preparing
for the big Sunday paper. These OBJ
servations pertain to not one, but all
the great morning newspapers in the
country. Compositors on afternoon
papers and in book printing establish
ments are not worked so hard, but as
their pay is twenty-five per cent lower
than that of the morning paper COM
positor, the latter prefers to stay where
he is. A first-class compositor must
possess a clear understanding, an acute
intellect, an accurately trained eye and
nimble fingers of sensitive and delicate
touch. With all Of these he may mako
on a paper of wealth from three to five
dollars per night.-Detroit Free Press.

CUTTING POWER OF RIVERS.
Streams That How Their Channel In Sole
Rock.

streams That How Their Channel In Solid
Rock.
We frequently see statements and es-
Inmates of the amount of sand and mud
that is annually carried into the ocean
by the great rivers of the world. No
one who has seen a suddenly-formed
rain torrent cut deep channel in a
roadway can doubt the power of water
to wear away the features of the globe.
In fact it has been estimated that in
about six million years, if the present
rate of denudation be continued, the
whole surface of the earth will be
smoothed off to one general level
But while it is easy to see how Il river
and its tributaries can rapidly cut their
way through ordinary soil and sand, it
is more difficult to conceive the remark
able effects produced by water which
runs over bed of solid rock. The Col
orado River, for instance, flowing be-
tween lofty walls of rocl. and upon a
rocky bottom, is still deepening its
channel.
The explanation of the cutting power
OF the water of the Colorado lies, as the
Rev. DR.. Hutchinson, the geologist, has
pointed out, in the fact that it is charged
with sand, brought to it in great guam
titles by its tributaries. This sand, be-
ing swept down the steep gradients of
the river, wears away the rocky bed as
emery dust wears stone.
Thus nature assists nature on all
sides, and the sand that frost and wind
and water have formed out of the ex-
posed rock of the mountains becomes,
in turn, an instrument for channelling
and wearing away the better protected
rock OF the valleys beneath. Youth's

THE PROPER WAY TO SIT.
Far Back in Your Chair. So That the Body
May Have support.

Far Back in Your Chair, So That the Body
May Have support.
A proper sitting position requires
that the spine shall be kept straight
and that the support needed for the up
per part of the body shall be felt in the
right place. Therefore, sit as far back
as possible in the chair, so that the
lower end of the spine shall be braced
against the back of the seat. If this
back is straight the shoulders will also
rest against it; if not they will have no
point of support and it will be found
they do not need it. This position
makes no strain upon the ligaments of
the spine. 1t allows ii proper position
of the shoulders, consequently of the
chest, consequently of the lungs,
stomach and every other organ OF the
body. Their work is carried on natur-
ly and comfortably, as is also the cir
oulation of the blood, which, in wrong
sitting position, is seriously interfered
with. With the feet resting squarely
upon the floor the hands resting easily
upon the lap. perfect equilibrium and
consequently perfect rest OF the body is
secured. There is no strain upon any
part of the body; no muscle or organ is
required to do more than it's legitimate
amount of work. The arms should
never be folded, for this position not
only causes a strain upon the spine, and
all the other evils referred to, but, in
addition, places the weight of the arms
upon the stomach and the diaphragm,
thereby increasing the labor of diges-
tion and respiration. Placing the hands
behind the back, or folding the arms
behind the back, if possible, is good
attitude to take occasionally, giving, as
it does, the fullest expansion to the
whole upper part of the body.-Ladies'

on the Missouri situation, but it is
evidently out Of its reckoning when it
assumes to speak for the republicans
of Texas. 1t is to be hoped that its
judgment on Missouri politics Is more
correct and it's advice more judieious
than it's counsel to republicans in
Texas. Its advice to the party In this
