BEAUTIFUL MOUNTAIN PEAKS.
Rainier, Shasta, Hood and Other Fint
Mountains of the Far Northwest.

Rainier, Shasta, Hood and Other Fine
Mountains of the Far Northwest.
About SO miles south of Tacoma you
get view Of the most beautiful noun
tain peak on the earth s surface, Mount
Tacoma, or Rainier, and carry it with
you for three or four hours It rises di-
rectly from the tide level to height of
Ia, 444 feet, unhidden by intervening
ranges or foothills, and stands squarely
against the sky, the perfection of mag
nificence, dignity and power. 1t is two
and one-half times as high as Mount
Washington, and I believe the highest
peak in the world that rises directly
from plain. 1t is known to us in the
east as Mount Rainier and was so called
in honor of Admiral Rainier of the Brit
ish navy, but here they call it Mount
Tacoma, the old title given by the
Siwash Indians before the white man
came. The base is covered with a dense
forest Of ever living green. Above the
timber line the snow is white and
smooth and perpetual, and it looks as if
it were solid block of the purest mar
BILE.
Mount Tacoma is just two feet higher
than Mount Shasta, 297 feet higher than
Pixies peak and 400 feet higher than
Gardeners peak. The highest in the
United States. Mount Crillon, Alas
ka, is over 10000, but an exact meas
urement has never been taken. Mount
st. Elias, Alaska, is 5,327; Mount
Whitney, California, is 15,09S, and
Mount Williams, California, is IA, 400.
There are several other very beautiful
peaks visible from the railway, includ-
ing St. Helen, $3.50 feet, the patron
saint of Portland, around whose head
hangs a perpetual halo; Mount Hood,
which is shapely cone, II, 225 feet,
which was named in honor of Lord
Hood of the British admiralty, and
Mount Baker, 10, 800 feet, christened il
honor of Joseph Baker, one of the lieu,
tenants of Peter Puget, who discovered
the sound. Theodore Winthrop has
written lovingly about them, and they
are the subject of the purest and choicest
descriptions that exist in the classic
prose of Washington Irving. although !
believe he was never nearer them than
his home on the Hudson river, 5000
miles away.-Chicago Record.

Eye Treatment of Epilepsy.

Scarcely any discovery of modern
medical science is more valuable than
that treatment of the eye may lead to
the cure Of epilepsy. In the New York
Medical Journal DR.. Ambrose L. Ran
ney gives full details Of the treatment
Of the eye which he has adopted with
Is patients. The correction of the eye
muscles has led to the cessation of the
epileptic seizures. Most of these patients
had been drugged with bromides for
years without any cure. Some of the
cases treated were of long standing.
One patient had suffered for "a years
from epilepsy. Seven years have now
passed since his eyes were treated, and
he has had no return. Another patient
had such violent paroxysms that he had
TO be confined in a padded room while
they lasted. He is now cured. A third
has been in perfect health and part
ner in large business for three years.

sTAUNToN, VIRGINIA, DECEMBER IA. 1894,
CHARLOTTE TEMPLES GRAVE.
The Most Popular Spot In Trinity Church
ward. New York

yard, New York.
A few days ago passersby in Broad
way, looking through the high fence
that surrounds Trinity churchyard, saw
slender black gowned girl kneeling by
the grave Of Charlotte Temple. Her
head was bowed in her hands, and she
seemed utterly lost to her surroundings.
After awhile she arose with very pale
face, walked swiftly through the gates
and disappeared in the crowd. She was
only one Of many devotees at the shrine
Of the poor girl who died for love. No
body ever visits Trinity churchyard
without pausing for few minutes be-
fore the big brown slab that bears only
the name Charlotte Temple. y
"Oh, yes!' said the gray haired old
man whose duty it is to see that the an
Gent tombs are kept in order. SIT is the
most popular grave in the yard. I have
been here going on II years now, and
there have been very few days in good
weather when the grave has not had
visitor. Several times I have seen wom-
en- come here and stand in the cold and
sleet and snow looking at the tomb.
Somehow they always look as if they
were in trouble.
'sSeven or eight years ago began to
put potted flowers, geraniums and the
like on the grave, and have kept it up
every summer since. Tt is mainly to
mark the grave, so that visitors can find
it. It is the only grave in the yard that
has flowers on it. Otherwise the people
would bother me to death. When they
ask me where the grave of Charlotte
Temple is now, 1 simply tell them that
it is over on the west side with some
potted flowers on it, That saves me a
deal Of trouble.
''Several Of the gravestones are crum-
bling badly and will have to be repaired
if the descendants Of the dead want to
perpetuate their memory. See; here is
the Oldest grave in the place

of dust from a crumbling gray stone and
showed the date, 1851. eve have sew.
eral that date almost as far back" said
he, "but none of them is so popular as
that of Charlotte Temple"
Then the ancient attendant tucked
his broom under his arm, picked up his
wheelbarrow and trundled away among
the graves. -New York Herald

The Remanee of o Watch,

Rossini's watch. which has recently
been sold at Bologna to rich English
man whose name is not mentioned,
has history. In 1924 Charles x pre-
scented the composer with q reneating
watch, studded with diamonds, and
playing two of Rossini's melodies. No
body in Bologna could clean the watch,
so it was sent in the care of the tenor
Fabiano to Paris, where it was destroy
ed in a fire. Plivee, the matchmaker,
thereupon made q second watch, the ex-
act counterpart Of the first, except that
the diamonds were false, and Rossini,
who never discovered this pious fraud,
wore the trinket all his life. On his
death it passed to a relative, whose son
has just sold it. 1t is said to contain an
excellent portrait in enamel Of Rossini
as he was in 1924.

The pronerties of Cocaine.

Travellers in Peru and countries where
coca grows chew the leaves of this plant
for the purpose of allaying the sense of
hunger and the feeling of exhaustion that
accompanies it. At first the leaves were
thought to possess God elements, but now
it is known that the cocaine they contain
merely allays the irritability of the nerves
that produce the sense of hunger.
Cocaine is an alkaloid made from the
coca leaf, which has the effect of complete
ly destroying the sensibility of nerves.
The discovery of this active principle of
the coca leaf explained fully and satisfac-
torily the effect produced by chewing the
leaves. An infusion of the leaf might be
used with good results in allaying the
pnawing appetite that follows some forms
of fever, or in cases where the sense of
hunger is due to "a diseased condition of
the stomach.
Cocaine should never be Used except
on the prescription of a trustworthy physi-
clan, because it is dangerous. The cocaine
habit is more readily formed than either
the morphine or liquor habit and is far
more rapid in its work of destruction
