4 Wonderful Feat.

Two Americans in the employment of the government of British Columbia recently accomplished feat hitherto deemed impossible by crossing the Sel- kirk mountains in the depth of winter. The object of the trip was to ascertain if it were possible to lay out pack and cattle trail over the range from Golden to Kalso. The men travelled one hundred and fifty miles on snow shoes, fifty miles over the widest mountain country, where glaciers abounded. They found pass at an altitude of six thousand five hundred feet that is practicable for cattle and pack trains in summer. The thermom- rter was below zero during most of the trip, which occupied nearly month.

HARD TO SUIT.
An Invaiid's IrritabiIity at a Queer Off,
 fenSe.

An Invaiid's IrritabiIity at a Queer Off,
 fense.
 A San Francisco man, as reported by the Call, had been in bed for several months with malady that made him very nervous and irritable. His wife and daughter ministered to him assidu- ously, but were sometimes at their wits end in trying to satisfy his capri cious desires. As the young lady said once, her father was ''so unreasonable that he would scold if an angel were waiting on him. One night, when the mother and daughter were both thoroughly tired out, a young man, a friend of the family. was called in to watch with the sick man for six hours after midnight. The invalid's wife instructed him about the medi- cines, and especially cautioned him to be careful about disturbing the pa tient.
 ''He is very irritable,' she said. Don't speak to h1m except when he speaks to you, and if he is asleep when the time comes for him to take his medicine, don't disturb him,
 'And by the way" she added, as she was about leaving cle room, ''you may like something to read. Here is Mark Twain's 'Roughing It. it will amuse you, but you musn't laugh while reading it, for Mir. J- will fancy you are laughing at him, and will be very much annoyed
 The young man performed his du- ties to the best of his ability, but on going away in the morning was thanked rather curtly by the invalid. As soon as he was gone MT. J. broke out.
 ''See here. mother," said he, don't ever send that nulnskun to watch with me again"
 ''Why, father, what do you mean? Wasn't he attentive? He didn't go to sleep, did he?"
 ''No, no, no; but I was awake for two hours, and watched him reading Mark Twain's book all that time, and-''
 But, father" interposed Mrs. J., 'I gave him that book to occupy his time. He"
 ''Oh yes, yes, that's all right; but that fool sat there for two hours read ing that book, and never smiled once."

WOMEN AS sHOEeLACKs.
They Are Numerous in France and Some
 Have Married Rich Customers.

nave marrleu hlCn customers.
 A custom is rapidly gaining ground in France, and especially in Toulon and certain other towns, which, it may safely be prophesied, will not find much imitation in this country. This is the employment of women as street shoeblacks.
 The French women shoeblacks are most coquettishly gotten up, and as to their caps and frills have somewhat the appearance of hospital nurses, and it is surprising that though their occu- patton is a tolerably dirty one they al- ways seem clean and tidy; some of them are doing the polishing in gaunt- let gloves.
 In the towns in which they are em- ployed they certainly are a success pc cuniarily, especially where English and American visitors, who generally seem to treat the whole affair as a good joke, are numerous.
 It is said that one reason for the oc- cupation being a popular one among women of a certain grade in life is that many of the fair polishers have mar ried opulent customers who have been impressed by their shining qualities.

BLIND MEN ON WHEELS.
They Can Successfully Run TricycIes witt
 the Aid of One Person.

There are blind naturalists, blind historians, blind men of science, blind musicians, and now blind men have taken to cycling as a means of recrea- tion. It was a strange sight in the city to see about eighteen of the students of the Royal normal college for the blind in upper Norwood leave the Mansion house upon tricycles on visit to Birmingham, where the earl of Dudley was to open a new institution for the sightless. The party were mounted upon tandem machines, four or five of them being linked together so as to form two processions of req sonable length. The leader of each was possessed of the ordinary powers of vision, but all the rest were blind. After paying their respects to the lord mayor, who greeted them kindly and wished them safe and happy journey, the students merrily set out on their trip and pedaled themselves along Cheapside in sprightly fashion. This is, perhaps, the first time on record where a band of blind persons have secured the country on cycles. Milton's stand and wait" theory is noble poetry, but it is out of fashion in real life, so far as concerns the blind.

THE MILE IN VARIETY.
There Are Four Different Kinds in Eng
 IIsh-speaking Countries Alone.

There Are Four Different Kinds in Eng
 Hsh-spesking Countries Alone.
 English-speaking countries have four different miles-the ordinary mile of 5,2SO feet and the geographical or nautical mile of 6,085, making a diff ference of about one-seventh between the two: then there is the Scotch mile of 5,92S feet and the Irish mile of 6,72O feet: four various miles, every one of which is still in use. Then almost every country has its own standard mile, says the St. Louis Globe-Demo- crat. The Romans had their mil pas suum, 1000 paces, which must have been about 5000 feet in length, unless we ascribe to Cesar's legionaries great stepping capacity. The German mile Of to-day is 24,31S feet in length, more than four and half times as long as our mile. The Dutch, the Danes and the Prussians enjoy mile that is 1S,- 40 feet long, three and one-half times the length of ours; and the Swiss get more exercise in walking one of their miles than we get in walking five miles, for their mile is 9,153 yards 1OuSs WuIIc OuIS 1S OI1y l. stOO J d1No. The Italian mile is only few feet longer than ours; the Roman mile is shorter, while the Tuscan and the Turkish miles are 150 yards longer. The Swedish mile is 7,341 yards long, and the Vienna post mile is S,796 yards in length. So, here is list of twelve different miles, and besides this there are other measures of distance, not counting the French kilometer, which is rather less than two-thirds of mile. The BraZilians have a millia that is one and onefourth times as long as our mile; the Neapolitan miglio is about the same length; the Japanese ri, or mile, is two and one-half times ours; the Russiant verst is five-eighths as long as our mile, while the Persian standard is a fesakh, four and half miles long, which is said to be equal to the parasang so familiar to the readers of Xenophon's "Anabasis." The league that is familiar to readers of French and Spanish books varies just as does the mile. In Brazil it is three and four-ffths miles long, in France it was three miles, in Spain it was two and two-thirds miles, and once on a time in England it was two and half miles long.

How They Telegraph in Persia.

Photographic communication in Per sia is said to work fairly we'll in dry weather, but in times of rain and damp it is unfortunately far otherwise. This arises from the fact that the insu- lators are not fixed to poles of wood or iron as with us, but are driven into trees that have branches growing round the hooks and touch the wire, thus intercepting the current. When a large tree is not available small one is resorted to, which often breaks, or the shaking of the slender tree by the wind dislodges the insulator or hook on which it is fixed, and the wire trails on the ground. 1t is no uncom- mon thing for the wires to be seen lying right across the high road, which is followed by hundreds of mules both in Ghilan and Astrabad. A case is officially reported of high foreign official telegraphing to Teheran from Europe announcing his intended ar rival at Resht, in which the telegram was received in the sender's presence eighteen days after it's dispatch.

Picks Un ontside Families.

It is no uncommon thing to see a male ostrich strutting about followed by three or four distinct broods, all of different sizes. When the incubating process is completed the cock bird leads his young ones off, and if he meets another proud papa engages in a terrific combat with him. The van quished bird retires without single chick, while the other, surrounded by the two broods. walks away proudly.

In Berlin no animal may be killed for food, under heavy penalty, except at the municipal slaughter house. Every animal is not only subjected to a close scientific investigation, but specimens of its blood and tissues are examined under powerful microscopes -forty-fve female microscopists, with eyes trained to the work, being con- stantly employed.

Saying in each laughing eye,

Faint heart ne er won lady fair;
Come and kiss me if you darer'
Every look and every tone
Seemed to whisper, Were alone.

Something Nice About Jim Griggs.
From the Americas Recorder.

From the Americas Recorder.
Hon. James NJ. Griggs, solicitor gen
eral of the Pataula circuit, and one of
the shrewdest politicians in the state,
paid Americas short visit yesterday
between trains. Col. Griggs is one of
the rising young men of Georgia; and
by his ability as a lawyer and popularity
as man has hold upon the people #
this section enjoyed by few other men.
Colonel Griggs not only gets elected to
everything he wants himself; but he
helps his friends also; and this explains
why he has so many of them.
