MOUNTAIN CLIMBING,
The Safety of the Many Bought by the
Death of the Few.

The Safety of the Many Bought by the
Death of the Few.
All crafts depend upo1 knowledge and
acquired slill-knowledge of the ma
terial to be handled. acquired skill in the
handling Of the material. Pioneers Of
mountaineering had first to learn what
mountains actually are like, the details
Vt their structure, and the forces in &C.
ton upon them. Rock structure, which
has one meaning for a geologist, has
others for mountaineer. One kind of
mountain masonry forms ridges and
guilies, another forms lodges and preci-
pices One texture and dip makes stair
cases that can be rushed, another makes
slabs that can scarcely be adhered to.
One kind of substance is firm and trust
worthy, another is friable and treacher-
GUS to hand and foot. If there was SO
much to be learned about rocks, snow
and ice were at first far more unknown.
The anatomy of glaciers had to be dis
covered, the secrets of crevasse forma-
ton to be learned. There We're the
varied phenomena implied in the phrase,
Estate of the snow," to be understood.
Both foot and eye had to be trained to
recognize by feel and glance what the
Estate of the snow" at any time might
be. Avalanches had to be investigated
avaianches Of snow, ice and rock-when
they might be expected to fall. where
they We're to be looked for, how far they
would go. Climbers had to learn to
distinguish afar off between snow and
ice c'opes. Moreover, the tools of noun
taineering had to be invented. Many
We're tried and discarded: few were re-
tanned and improved. The form of the
AK was slowly evolved and its uses
learned. The way to employ the rope
was yet more difficult discovery. Even
now the proper form for climbing irons
is only being arrived at.
Accidents, usually fatal, were the
lessons wherefrom these facts were de-
rived. The great Matterhorn accident
finally demonstrated how the rope
should be used and proved that large
parties We're Il source of danger. The
Lyskamm accident showed the peril Of
cornices. Cnroped climbers met their
death on many mountains. From al
most every accident something was
learned. The safety of the many has
been bought by the death of the few.
We can now plunge into the world of
snow without undue peril. We know
its dangers and can guard against them;
we know also when we are safe and
where we can freely go. Our forerun-
ners went aloft as neolithic navigators
put to sea-badly equipped and into a
misunderstood region. We are now on
the footing of the modern sailor. Snow,
as such, has no more terrors for us than
sea for them. Iii luck may oyertake
Us. and we may fall. as they may be
drowned. but with. good equipment and
experience the climber ami seafarer are
about as safe as the townsiaan at home

TITS USELESS TO REGRET,

We've done the best we could, my dear.
There's nothing TO regret.
We've taught the children many truths
On which our hearts were set.
And il against our old time ways
They foolishly protest
We never need regret, my dear.
That we have done our best.
There's many o plan that's come to naueht.
There's many light gone out,
And disappointments, griefs and cares
Have hedged US roundabout,
And many q sad mistake we've made
Throughout our lives. and yet
We've done the very best We could
Tis useless to regret.
For out Of evil good has come.
And out Of darkness light,
And al wHongdoing in this world
some day will be set right,
And though we have not reached the heisAt
Attained by others. yet
We've done the best we could, my dear
'Tis useless to regret.
We've tried to live like honest folks,
To do our duty well,
Gainst evil things to take our stand.
In goodness to excel.
So judge yourself not harshly, dear,
Nor at misfortunes fret
We've done the best we could, and so
Tis useless to regret.

of Agriculture Jeremiah NJ. Rusk died
at : O'Clock this morning. Col. Casson
his former private secretary, left the bed
side at 8 o'clock last night, and gave his
friends the most positive assurance that
the crisis was past. General Rusk him
self told the physicians that he was bet
ter. He took the usual amount OF nour-
ishment. and slept good part Of the
night. Death was due to complication
OF disorders. dating back several years.
The trouble began in the form Of dys.
pepsia, resulting in an enlargement of
the prostate gland. followed by an alb
scess on the liver. finally involving the
gland. Seven weeks ago he was obliged
to take to his bed. On Nov 10th it was
decided that surgical operation was
necessary. but fatal ending even then
was not considered certain. Up to ten
minutes of his death he talked with the
watchers. He appeared to drop into a
peaceful sleep, from which he passed in
to the hereafter without struggle A
post mortem will be held to determine
the immediate cause of death
The whole family was at his bedside
when the general breathed his last. His
last words, spoken with effort. were: Il

jeremiah NJ. Rusk was born in Nor
gan county. Ohio, June II. 1890. His
father was a farmer OF small means. The
boyhood of young Rusk was divided be.
tween work on the farm and acquiring
common school education. He was %
pears of age when he moved from Ohio
into Wisconsin, taking farm near Viro-
qua. In 1862 he entered the Union
army. He was major and afterwards
lieutenant colonel of the Twenty fifth
Wisconsin regiment and brevet brigadier
general. Shortly after the close of the
war he was elected state bank controller.
position which he filled from 1866 to
1870. He was member of the Forty
second Congress. He served three con-
secutive terms in Washington. and dis
tinguished himself as a legislator. He
was an intimate friend and associate of
James A. Garfield while in Congress.
Upon Gartield's election to the presi-
dency he was rendered successfully the
appointments of charge d'atfaires to
Paraguay and Uruguay and chief of the

nearly 1900 votes over his opponent
He was secretary of agriculture under
Harrison's administration. His reputa-
tion has been gained as governor Of Wis
consin, and especially from the courage
and independence with which he dealt
with the anarchists of Milwaukee.
On President Cleyeland's g inauguration
he returned to private life, and it was at
his elegant country placeat Viroqua that
he was stricken few weeks ago with
the illness which resultsd this morning

Queen viotoria,s Right Name.

The oft-raised question as to Queen
Victoria's surname is thus answered
by recent writer: ''She is, OF course,
a Guelph by ancestral lineage, which
is traced by the genealogists from En-
press St Cunegonda, consort to EN-
peror st. Henry IT., A. D. 1924. Both
are oanonized saints and both were
solemnly crowned at Rome by Pope
Benedict VIII. But all this relates
merely to the pedigree of Princess
Alexandria Victoria prior to her mar
riage In 1s40 to Prince Albert, OF Sake

ancient house of Haxony, whose family

four centuries been, Victim. Obvious

TEA BOARDED LfkE GOLD.

Thibetans Sell Their Children for 1t to
Priests Who Control the Trade.
All of the tea used in Mongolia and
Thibet comes in the shape Of bricks,
which have uniform weight of five
pounds, measuring nine inches in
length by six inches in width ano
three inches in thickness. The tea OF
which they are composed is not the
plant to which we are accustomed. II
is obtained from large and woody
shrub. The small twigs and leaves are
steamed, the sticks being dried and
ground to powder. The stuff thus pre-.
pared is mixed with q little rice water
to make it sticky and is then rammee
into mold by means of wooden stick
shod with iron. Such tea would be
considered too poor for use in China
proper, where all of it is manufactured
and whence it is exported for consump
ton by the ignorant jewellers on the
frontiers. The Thibetans cannot get
along without tea. 1t is said that they
even sell their children for it to their
grasping priests, who control the trade
and hoard the bricks Hike gold In the
monasteries. These tea bricks have
circulated as currency at a fixed value
in Mongolia and Thibet, but in the
latter country they have recently
become to some extent demonetized
owing to the introduction of ru-
PEGS from India. Until lately brick
of tea was worth one rupee. The
monks of the Batang monastery in
Thibet, having boarded great treasure
In the shape of tea bricks, have found
it impossible to dispose of them at par.
Thibet is a province subject to China and
part of the empire. Chinese diplo
matte officials make a practice Of SNUG.
Cling tea into Thibet in the guise OF
baggage, thus enriching themselves
greatly The Thibetans say: "They
come into our country without trousers
and they depart with thousand loaded
yaks."
The Thibetan teapot is churn, like
an ordinary butter churn. They take
small portion from brick, pound II
in a mortar, make an infusion, strain
it and pour it into the churn, adding a
little salt. A lump of butter is thrown
in and the mixture Is churned for
awhile. Then it is ready to drink. The
result Is described as resembling weak
tea and milk, with the sugar and tea
left out. If they cannot get tea these
people use oak bark, roast barley or
peas, wild mulberry leaves, or even
chips of wood-anything to give the
beverage color. After taking his tea
the drinker puts a pinch of parched
barley into his cup, works 1t up with
the leaves and dregs that remain and
eats 1t. Tea leaves, mixed with parched
barley SO as to form boluses, are given
to tired horses to brace them up.
Throughout all that region an infusion
of tea Is employed as wash for weak
yes.-Philadelphia Times

ONCE MORE.

Once more along the riverside
Are willow tassels swinging;
Once more among the woodlands wide
Are robins gayly singing;
Once more the gorse blooms on the fellss
The heather on the mountains;
Once more the cowslips ring their bells
Above the laughing fountains
Once more the wood anemones
Are duttring in the shadows.
The daisies star the verdant leas,
The buttercups the meadows;
Once moro the ianguid violet opes
Her dewy eyes at morning;
Once more the southern.lying slopes
The blue-bells are adjoining.
Once more each truant breeze that blowl
Through wood and forest searches.
To steal from orchard boughs their snowA
The perfume from the larches:
They set the lances Of the wheat
In mimic fitting motion,
And speed once more the swallow neet
Across the briny ocean.
Once more the whirring corncrake cries
Amid the dew-wet clover,
Ger woodlands green the cuckoo dies,
A merry, careless rover;
The leafy woods are all a-chime,
The skylark's notes are thrilling,
Once more gladder. blither rhyme
The poets lays are filling.
