pleasant looking boy to lead the mule,
and started for the "Nassfeld," one OF the
highest valleys in this part OF the Alps.
The path was up a narrow defile between
lofty cliffs, and wound up on the edge of
narrow shelves OF rock. In some places
we were glad to shut our eyes and not see
how narrow and precipitous IL all was.
At last after two hours climb up
another thousand feet OF elevation,
we emerged through cleft in the noun
tains into level, circular plain OF about
200 acres, bounded on all sides by snow
capped mountains The snow and the
glaciers came down nearly to the plain,
and from them were running down every
where small. ice-cold streams of water
which gathered in the plain to form the
Ache, up which river we had come.
Scattered over the plain and up the
mountain sides, almost II not quite to the
edge OF the snow, were numerous herds
OF cows and goats tended by boys and
girls Here and there around the edge of
the plain and next to the mountains
were large, low stone houses rudely but
strongly built. These were the dairy
houses here the cows and goats are
MIXED, and the product made into but
ter and cheese The churning Is done by
water power, througha small sluice which
taps a stream further up the hill.
We announced to a round and rosy
"madc hen" that We were from America,
and were curious to learn all about the
the cattle sheds and the pans and the
churn, and the cooling room and the
cheese presses and ALL besides treating
to goats cheese. They bring the animals
up TO the valley the last OF May, " hen the
winter SHOWS are nearly gone from the
plain, and take them back TO the farms
below in October, when the SHOWS come
again. Snow storms are OF frequent oc
currence during he summer Two days
before our visit storm which gave us
rain at Gastein. 1000 feet lower down,
gave the "Nassfeld, plain over an inch OF
snow. While we were there the air was
cool and bracing. 1t was rare experience
TO be SO near snow and lee in July.
When our stay at Gastein was finished
last Friday, We descended some , 600 feet
into t he valley OF the Saalrach, and took
the railroad ride down the valley to Salz
burg. One noticeable thing on the way
was the use OF oxen ~ draft animals. No
yoke is used, but the oxen are hsrnessed
and drawn by means OF traces passing
round the forehead, and they hold back
by regular breeching like our horses.

Emperor of Japan Declares an Armistlce

Toxic: The emperor of Japan has
declared an unconditional armistice.
The decision of the emperor was
greatly due to the extreme indigna-
ton aroused bv the attack on the
Chinese peace ambassador, Viceroy Ii
Hung Chang. There will be no with
drawal of Japanese troops from China
until the peace treaty is complete. In
the arnistice the Island of Formosa is
excepted.
The power of the Japanese govern
ment to execute the armisticc will now
be put to "A critical test. The military
power of Japan in the Judgment of in
telligent observers has almost out
stripped the civil power during the
war. This has caused serious concern,
as it has been feared that the military
element. backed by the war spirit

to an armistice, even if the civil au-
thorities ordered one.

FenrrnI Enrrat Fires.

Reports from southern Indiana and
kentucky say that forest fires are
causing great damage TO property and
some loss of life. Very little definite
information can be secured. Eight
miles from Bowling Green, Ky, the
homes of Otis Smith. James Waters
and Henry Filler were burned after 500
acres of timber were swept away.
The families mou uted horses and es-
capped. Henry Filler was so badly
burned that he died and Negro farm
hand persisted. At Annetta and Blow
town large tracts of timber were
burned. William Edwards, colored,
was burned to death while fighting
the fire. Since the burning of James
V. Penny's house in Indiana his wife
has been missing and is now believed
to have persisted in the woods while
trying to escape. In Clark county,
Ind, the farms of Bates and Weber
were burned over, causing loss of
$500 Prof. Chas Bruner was
burned to death in the woods near
Victory, Ky.
