Aaoending Mont Blanc.

It is an expensive as well as very tiresome undertaking to ascend Mont Blanc. It costs at least fifty dollars a person, for by the law of the commune of Chamouni, each stranger is obliged to have two guides and porter. So far as the danger is concerned it is now re- duced to minimum, but almost every year the mountain claims victim. Bad weather is the chief thing feared by the guides, and so swiftly does it come that a cloudless sky may in fifteen min utes turn to blinding snowstorm which beats you to the ground. Thus it was that some years ago party of eleven persons perished. Five were found frozen stiff in the snow; the other six lie buried in the Glacier des Boissons. Forty years is the time al- lowed for the glacier to yield them up in the valley below.

A Courageous Woman.

As an example of woman's courage a story of brave school-teacher comes from India. Miss Lucinda Gore, of Lackharabad, was standing in the schoolhouse one day, when, turning round, she saw in the open doorway the glaring eyes of a tiger. She did not scream or faint, but seized broom and drove it full in the tigers face, brush foremost. Some of the bristles entered the tigers eyes and with a howl of pain he drew back to make spring at her. Then she slammed the door in his face. The supports of the door were but slender and would not resist the tigers attacks long, but, while he banged his head at it, she lowered one of the boys through the window to alarm the neigh bors. Assistance soon arrived and the tiger was shot.

Her Conunarun

1t is often hard to determine hit from "good wit" in the case of children, and some of their flashes of precocity seem not to be unconscious, but rather the fragment of some remembered knowl- edge. A little maid of five, who had been listening quietly to the puzzles and conundrums of the older children, seemed at last to divine the method of their construction. and, after some thought. asked: What could you get on very high, steep mountain?r The answers were ice, snow, rocks, eagles nests and the like. to all of which the little one persistentIy shook her head. When asked to tell the answer she tri- umphantly cried: "Nothing!" But why?" asked the others, in a breath. Because you couldn't get up there after it, was the demure reply.

A CANINE CURIOSITY.
~ rover." . Big Newfoundland Tramp
 Dog of Put-in-Bay.

Dog of Put-in-Bay.
 There is Newfoundland dog at Put inlay that is certainly curiosity. His name is Rover and he is known at every house and hostelry on the island. Years ago he was named by Mir. Jay Cooke, the millionaire banker and owner of Gibraltar, the cliff girt little island that nestles in the bosom of Put-in-Bay, hardly yet separated from its parent mother by narrow line of shoals Mir. Cooke had no use for Rover and gave him away when he was quite young to family on the island of the name of Roelfng. Inthe course of time, says the Buffalo Commercial, the Roel- fing family moved away and Rover, who had grown into fine proportions, was left alone without master. Several times attempts were made to domicile the brute, but they were of no avail. He either would not forget his old mas ter or else had determined to be true to his name and lead rowing life. At any rate, for the past three or four years Rover has been the tramp dog of the island, without any home. Every body likes him, and there is not child that does not save him piece of meat or crust of bread. He makes the rounds from house to house, and always seeks the kitchen door first. He is round, fat and sleek, and lives on the fat of the land and is the common property of the island

YACHTING GROWING POPULAR.

Sailing Boats Dot the Waters All Along
 the Massachusetts Coast.
 It was not until after the close of the war in 1865 that yachting became a popular pastime in America. Great prosperity prevailed at the north and the spirit of adventure engendered among the young men by the excite ment of the war now sought its outlet in sports as in business enterprises. Yachting, says Donahoe's Magazine, felt the influence of the new state of things, and the lakes and rivers and harbors began to show great increase in the number of pleasure boats. New clubs were organized and races ar ranged in all localities where boats abounded. Yachting soon became a popular pastime in all the seaports large and small. Club after club was organized and private vessels increased enormously outside of the clubs. In, deed, it is these outside boats that con. stitute the great body of the yachting world. The large, famous vessels repre- sent the extreme development of tn. maritime art, and they stand for tn, yachting world, as the mounted fielt officers of regiment itself. The grea; body of the pleasure fleet of America i. composed of a multitude of small sail ing boats, which swarm in and navi gate the bays, lakes, rivers and sound of the country-moderate in size, saf in rig, low in cost and giving healthfu recreation to hundred times as man. people as do the big representatives the fleet. Nearly one thousand smai yachts are owned along the coast Massachusetts alone, while there ar seldom more than twenty or thirty vel sells engaged in any of her regattas And while the great racers in all Amer ica do not probably exceed two huI dred, there are more than one tho, sand eight hundred and seventy in th official yachting list and several time that number of pleasure sailing boat in the whole country. The great bod of practical yachtsmen own the sma. boats.

USES FOR OLD RAILS.
A Great Amount of Barbed-wire Fencing

A Great Amount of Barbed-Wtre Fencing
 Is Made of Them.
 In speaking of the use of old rails re- gently, says the Railway Reviewer, an official of the Pennsylvania railroad stated the life of a rail on the Pennsyl- vania lines west is about eleven years and on the Pennsylvania railroad only nine years. The difference is perhaps due to heavier traffic on the Pennsyl- vania railroad. The friction of con- stantly passing trains wears on the rail until it must be replaced by new one The company pays twenty-four dollars ton-now twenty-two dollars-and the rrails used on that line average eighty-fve pounds to the yard. When it has passed its useful stage the rail is replaced.
 The old rails that are taken out from time to time are gathered up every month and sold to junk and scrap deal CTS at twelve dollars ton. It can read fly be seen that the company pays only twelve dollars for the use of rails per ton. The price received from the scrap man is good figure, when it is known that the rails, when sold, are of no use to the company Rails that are not much worn are sold to factories along the road at eighteen dollars per ton, where they are used for sidings and an- swer the purpose quite as well as new rails There are many uses to which the old rail is put A great amount of barb-wire fencing is made of railroad srxo,, rd uavxy of+av, @ha ,-o ;lc a,-o ,,ead a foundations for large buildings. There are not many people who know that the Masonic temple in Chicago rests on a foundation of steel rails, layer upon layer, six feet deep.

MuLEY hAssAN,s TRsAsuns.
A German Physician's Account of the Hoard of the Sultan of Morocco.

A German Physician's Account of the
 Hoard of the Sultan of Morocco.
 A French journalist has brought up again the ancient story of the enor- nous treasure held by the sultan of Morocco. The French ambassador to Morocco brought back to Louis XIV. in 1885 the story that the sultan of that day, Muley-Ismael, kept at Mequinez, the favorite residence of the sultans, a treasure valued at eS0, 1000, ,0OO, says an exchange. Chenier, another French ambassador, 100 years later, returned with rumors of the treasure, but it had shrunk in century to about s2, 800, 900, which is supposed by some authorities to be about the ordinary annual rev enue of the sultan.
 The legend of the treasure was still in sound health 50 years later, for Graeber di Hemso, traveller, affirmed about 1884 that the sultan's hoard, called Bit-el-Mell, was kept at Mequinez, under the guard of 2,000 negroes. It was believed to consist of 200, ,OOO pieces of money, besides ingots of gold and silver and precious stones. The treasure house, according to this traveller, was an iDclosure of massive walls, which were exactly repeated within. In order to reach the treasure it was necessary to open five iron gates, secured with secret locks, of which the keys were always in the hands of the sultan or of his favorite. It was the custom in earlier times to kill the guards that accompanied the new treasure, lest the secrets of the treas ure house be divulged.
 Other travellers have kept the story alive, and from the manner in which taxes are levied and public affairs ad- ministered in Morocco, it is generally believed that the sultan has great wealth laid up. The latest story of the treasure comes from Dr. Rohlfs, a Ger man, at one time physician to the harem of the present sultan, Muley Hassan. Dr. Rohlfs declares that the treasure of the sultan is greater than eyer. Some have represented that, for safety, the imperial wealth is kept in several places, part of it at Fez, part in the oasis of Tafilet and part at other points in the empire. Dr. Rohlfs de- clares that the sultan's 10,OOO,OoO Ger man thalers, or about s7, ,000, ,000, are at Mcquinez, in a somber edifice, which the light of day never penetrates. The custom of killing the treasure bearers is not kept up, and the guard is not 2,0OO, but 300, negroes, who keep watch in living tomb. Dr. Rohlfs has seen some of the sacks fnclosing part of the treasure.

A BoTroMLEss PIT.
Exploration of a Peculiar Cave Formation in Eranca-

In France
 Among the most remarkable of na- fure's wonders the subterranean pit at Jean Nouveau, near Vaucluse. France. which reaches a depth of five hundred and forty feet while nowhere more than twelve feet wide, has only recent ly been explored. The French Society of Speleology leave study) erected a derrick at the mouth of the pit which begins with funnel fifteen feet wide at the top and narrows down to three feet at depth of about twenty feet From here down the crevice in the rock, for such it is, extends vertically, getting wider as it extends deeper, un- til at a depth of about four hundred and seventy-five feet it is twelve feet wide. At this point the shaft opens into a roomy cave in which just beneath the opening of the vertical pit thick layer of clay, containing remains of bones, both human and animal, was found. The explorers found no evil dence that the place had ever been vis- ited by man, but tradition has it that criminals were thrown into the "bot- tomless pit, as it was popularly called in the neighborhood, and the remains in the cave just beneath the shaft tend to corroborate this belief
 The descent made into the shaft was exceedingly difficult; it established the fact that there must be further cave far below the one now known, but the crevice through which it is accessible is choked up with debris and powders so that it will be very difficult matter to penetrate further into the cave than has been done. The deepest point reached in this crevice is five hundred and ninety-three feet underground. Great quantities of water rush through the shaft at every time there is storm, still no trace of water was found in the cave explored, which proves that some other subterranean exit must exist.

As bamboo can be obtained of all dimen- sions, from the thickness of 8 pen to pieces of foot in diameter. this natural material costs little more than the sim pie labor, and the notes'are beautifully soft and pleasant to the ear.

the report OF Carroll D. Wright,
United States Commissioner OF Labor.
The report. as a whole, covers the pc
riod from 1881 to July l, 1894. In this
time there occurred in the United
States 1890 strikes, affecting 69,l6i
establishments, and depriving of work
3.714, ACC employees. The loss of wages
is placed at s163, SO7, 1855 in strikes and
s26, 1856, 515 in lock-outs, and the loss OF
employers at $50, 590,3s6 in strikes and
s12, 235, Ash in lock-outs. One-fourth Of
the strikes were for an increase OF
wages, 10 per cent. for reduction OF
hours, per cent. against reduction OF
wages, per cent. against employment
OF non-union men, per cent. for q rec
ognition of the union, and ] per cent.
were sympathetic. Less than half the
strikes were successful, and only 81 per
cent. of the individual strikers gained
their object, Is per cent. partly sue
ceeded, and So per cent. entirely failed.

this must exist for organized laoor to

EIGHT months or so have now ELAPSED
since the outbreak of the revolution in
Cuba, and, judging from the indica-
tions, Spain is no nearer a victory over
the revolutionists than it was at the
beginning of the struggle. A late ac-
count from Madrid gives the substance
OF an interview in which Marshal Cam
pos, the leader Of the Spanish forces in
Cuba and the ablest OF Spanish COM
lmanders, is quoted as saying that a
poiicy OF leniency towards the insup-
gents must prevail or 10000 troops
would be necessary to quell the revolt
and that even then 1900 men would
perish. The accuracy of this inter-
view has been questioned, but it ap-
pears to be authentic, if the latest re-
ports from Cuba are to be trusted. Ac-
counts of engagements in the island
continue to be as before, meagre and
conflicting. All that the outsider can
be sure Of is that the revolt is not at
an end, and that the end of it is not
even in sight yet. -Bradstreet,s.

We Know Now.

THE figures of Tuesdays election are
nov on the blackboard. We know re-
suits. We know what is before Us,
We know what will be required Of US
to win, If we win, in 1896.
The lesson on the board Is most in
structive one. We have been taught
that divided party cannot win. That
no man, not even Cen Hardin in Dem
o,ratic Kentucky, can accept nomina-
tion on party platform and afterwards
kick that platform overheard, make
the race to suit himself and his own
personal views and be successful.
We have been taught that no one
man is the Democratic party. That
German with all his years Of bossism
and prestige Of victory, is not the Dem
ocratic party Of Maryland, nor could he
lead the party under his banner OF boss
ism and I'm rule or ruin policy" TO
victory.
We have been taught that harmony
and organization, and not the policy Of
every man for himself and for leader
ship, point the way for victory to the
Democratic hosts, and unless there be
harmony, union and organization there
can be no victory.
We have been taught that old lead
ers, bosses and leaders defeated on a
hundred battle fields, are not the lead
ers for the Democracy Of to-day. The
old members have no confidence in
their leadership, they create no en-
thusiasm among the younger members,
nor draw any united following from
the young and brave.
The party principles are all right,
but the party wants leaders who can
inspire confidence in the rank and file,
who can bring the men together and
hold them in touch of elbows, who can
rally the young men around the stand.
ard and keep them full OF enthusiasm
for party and victory.

THE elections Tuesday were compli-
Gated everywhere with local, side and
state issues rather than being fought
on straight party lines. This fact de-
tracts from the great significance their
results Tpuld naturally have on the
national election next year. AS it is
the results show nothing of very high
purport to the nation at large, but they
do impress states and localities with
lessons they should never forget.
In Kentucky the Democrats fought
with divided forces; in Maryland they
were mutinous and refused to follow
their leader, and in New York, New
Jersey and MASSACHUSETTS, they were
hOpelessly divided on minor issues
which could bring nothing but defeat
at every impoI tant precinct, Surely,
General Grant was veritable prophet
when he said: 'There are many places
in this great land of ours where the
Democrats can always be depended
upon to do the fool thing at the right
time"
