A Paralyzed Bishop.

There is good story told of the late
archbishop of Dublin. DIR. Trench. In
his latter years the good archbishop
had the idea that he was suffering from
incipient paralysis and was always
fancying that he detected more or less
of a numbness in his limbs. On one
occasion he was at dinner party, says
the Irish Times and it was noticed that
he was quite silent for awhile and
looked grave. At the same time it
was observed that the lady at his right
hand side was blushing deeply. At
last his grace said in lamentable
voice:
MY worst fears are realized; there
can be no longer any doubt of it. "
'.Of what?" asked the sympathetic
hostess.
That paralysis has really taken
hold of me-" answered the archbishop.
II ana sure of it. have been pinch
ing my right knee for several minutes
and l cannot feel the least sensation" "
The lady on his right was able to
comfort him.
Il hope it is not so bad as you
think" she said; ''it was my knee you
were pinching:"
A silk dress feels very like a silk
apron, hence the archbishop's mistake.

An Episode of Nebraska Life.

be unoccupied. was being stolen with
me in it. I grasped my revolver and
empted it at the walls and in answer
heard the sound of scattering reer. I
crawled out of the small window and
drove back about 100 yards to the site
of the house, where I made the horses
fast and posted myself under the
wagon. The next day 1 drove two
miles to my nearest neighbor and soon

other farmers. They all said the
horses and wagon were mine beyond
doubt, as no one would ever claim

Wasted Ammunition.

The Germans were not marksmen,
it must be said. in the last war. though
they won the battles. From German
statistics, it appears that 250 bullets
were fired to each Frenchman struck
in the war of 1S70-'71. This. was in
part due to the German rifle being in
ferior to the Chassepot; but, after
making every allowance, it must be
said that the troops fire without aim
ing. In the battle of Gettysburg no
less than "a. 900 rifles are said to have
been left on the field. of which only
one quarter were found to be properly
loaded. One half had two cartridges;
several three, four, and more bullets,
and in one rifle twenty-five charges
were found in the barrel. Boston Ad-

NEARLY FOUR MILES HIGH.
Prof. Russell Definitely Fixes the Att
tude of Mount st. Elias.

Prof. Israel G. Russelrs trip to
Alaska has established finally and in
contestibly the claims of Mount st.
Elias to be the highest peak in North
America. There are taller mountains
in the world of course. This one
measures somewhere between 1S. 600
and 10, 900 feet. or pretty nearly four
miles of altitude. But there are peaks
of the Andes in South America which
rise to "a, 900 feet while the Himalayas
tower aloft to the height of 29, 600 feet
at their maximum elevation. How
ever, Mount st. Elias is the biggest
hill hereabouts, as cannot in future be
disputed.
Along the coast. Prof. Russell says,
is green country covered with pro-
fuse vegetation, but days march in
land brings the adventurous traveller
to the snow line. There commences
the vast icy plain formed by eternal
rivers of ice flowing southwark from
the mountains at the north. For two
months the expedition journeyed
through that frozen realm, carrying
cornmeal and bacon for food and oil to
cheer with lights the Arctic nights.
For six weeks the party Travelled over
the glaciers on the north side of Mount
St. Elias, approaching the mighty peak
from that direction because its heights
are not accessible from any other side.
The highest camp was pitched at 5000
feet above sea level, and from that
point the professor and his men made
| a tremendous effort to reach the sum-
nit. After twenty hours of climbing
they got up to IA, 500 feet, but the
snow finally drove them back and they
were compelled to abandon further at
tempts.
The great obstacle to climbing was
always the snow, which fell almost in
cessantly, rendering progress imprac
ticable At one time a snowstorn
came on when Prof. Russell was alone
at the highest point, and for four en-
tire days he was cut off from his com
panions. Although the top of Noun
St. Elias was not reached angles were
taken which will determine its altitude
with accuracy when the necessar.
computations have been made.
The great Malaspin glacier to tn
south of Mount st. Elias covers 1,0OI
square miles and is larger than all tn
Alpine glaciers put together. 1t i
made by the confluence of four bi;
glaciers and thousands of little ones
which flow into the mighty ice-plain a
water does into lake. The ice OF tn
glacier is from 1. 500 to 2, 900 feet thick
Prof. Russell says that the most curlou
and surprising thing that he saw IN tn
region described was the reflection
himself in his climbing clothes mil
rored in pools of glacial ice-water.
