Highest Range In America.

1t is not commonly known, but it is Il
fact, that perhaps the highest range of
mountains in America is on the Uintah
Indian reservation in Utah. Bears peak
has an altitude of l4,60O feet, being 400
feet higher than Pixies peak in Colorado.
In stretch of thirty miles there are a
dozen such peaks with attitudes of over
1900 feet each, and which are snow
capped almost all the year round.
From these mountains numbers of riv-
ers of bright crystal water have their
source. They flow down through the
valleys and plains, affording the finest
natural irrigation i'll the world. The two
reservations have an area of about 6,000,-
900 acres, Uintah occupying about 4,0O0,-
600 acres According to the report of the
United States Indian agent, Major Run
lett, about $4,000 acres of the Uintah
land is admirably adapted for cultivation.

A SULLIVAN BOY IN THE WEST.

Your correspondent recently received a
letter from George >. Hill, a native and
formerly It resident Of this town, who in
1853 went to Caldwell, Kansas, and en-
tered the employ OF Rock Island lum
Der company which position he still holds
At the opening BY government of the
Cherokee strip on Sept Is, 1893, at II; 30
O'Clock II. m, he, with thousands Of
others, drawn up in line on horseback
and foot, at signal, made a grand rush
for the best OF the 160-acre lots, a. staked
out by government engineers. Having
good horse and being as most long in
the west are) Il good rider he secured "A
good section.
Here he built a small house, and with
his wife western woman, started farm
ing, and though encountering two of the
hardest years known in the state he did
not like many Others, get discouraged and
sell out, but kept at work and this year
raised 800 bushels OF white corn, of which
he sent sample. 1t Is perfectly white.
In addition to this he has thlrtyseven
hogs; turkeys and chickens innumerab BILE,
some OF which are blooded stock and
readily bring - per pair, common stock
selling at seven cents per pound, live
weight and with good garden in which
all table vegetables are raised, he thinks,
with an average year for crops in so, he
will not only pull through but be able to
sell TO good advantage.
SO much for Greeleys advice of go west.
But to make success it means perse-
verance and hard work, which so many
despise, and consequently their downfall
and failure. Mr.. Hill has an older brothe
who is civil engineer in Kansas,
younger brother who is a successful
lumber manufacturer at Halifax, y. s.,
and a still younger brother on the old
homestead in this town, who was at one
time clerk at the American house, Els
worth, and in 1s9i95 one of the selectmen
of Sullivan.

Mrs. George Gould's Children.

Although each child has q separate
nurse, Mrs. George Gould gives her special
attention to the nursery. She superintends
the airing, heating and cleaning and
watches the thermometer with the utmost
care. The room is never allowed to reach
a higher temperature than ~ degrees. 1t
any of the children does not find this warm
enough, the room is not heated to higher
temperature, but the children are clothed
more warmly. Each meal served to the
children is carefully overlooked by the
mother and even the weight of the por-
ton sent to each child is accurately at
tended to. After the children have been
tucked in their beds at night they are Wis
tied by their mother, who is careful to SOC
that they have enough covering and do
not sleep in drafts. However late an en-
tertainment or dance may detain her, Mrs.
Gould never retires without attending to

How "GOld Sweating" is Done

Remilling gold coin, or Sweating" is
the latest trick of the men who find coun-
terfeiting too dangerous. They go to a
large city and deposit a large sum of money
in bank, and few days later draw it out
in twenty dollar gold pieces. These they
put into lathe and trim off the milling,
which they carefully put on again, gain
ing at least one dollars worth of gold in
the operation. As the coin is not mutt
lated but only slightly reduced in diam
eter, the coins are readily passed on the
stores and in market where money is not
weighed when received.
The wife of the sweater makes tritling
pure bases at the stores with them, and
the good money received in exchange is
rebanl;ed and drawn out in gold again.
Thus the capital is kept turning over at a
lively rate, constantly growing, at n
slight risk of detection
A diligent sweater can clear from fifty
to seventy-tive dollars day easily.

Some Curious Customs.

Hiudoo women are forbidden to read or
write, Indeed those who dare to indulge
In such luXurics are often accidentally
missing.
Hebrew women of the higher classes
were secluded from public life and passed
their tin with the distatf and spindle.
At marriage the ceremony lasted seven
days.
In China q Wy fe is never seen by her flu
ture master. Some relative bargains for
the girl, the stipulated price is paid, and
she is afterward a submissive slave.
The women of ancient Rome were treat
ed with the greatest respect. Still they
were not allowed to inherit property and
could be divorced by their husbands for
counterfeiting their keys and for drinking
wine
In Turkey woman is held in the most
rigid seclusion. She must always appear
yelled With pigs and dogs she is forbid
den to enter mosque, and the Koran de-
clares woman who is unmarried to be in
state of reprobation.
Siberian women are raised as abject
slaves, untidy in dress, and are bought
with money or cattle. The most capricious

not at all aesthetic in appearance. Next

barbarically splendid, made like flowing

Do not leave the clothes taken off at
night in the sleeping room, and, if prac-
ticable, do not hang the nightclothes by
day in the closet where dresses, outer gar
ments and boots and bonnets, etc, are
kept, as is the case in most chamber clos
cts Undress in the dressing room and
leave the day underwear there to air; also
dress skirts and bodices should be all
turned inside out to air. If there is no
dressing room, use some other room for
the purpose. A wardrobe in the bathroom
is useful If the bathroom be exposed to air
and sun. If tho nightclothes must be
hung in the chamber closet, at least see
that this black hole, which is usually a

itself, and do not hang nightgowns and

having her dress give the impression of
dignity while at a dance she will look al
most as frivolous, as far as material IS
concerned, as docs her daughter. The

seen at the dance, and, although all the
laws Of fashion and good taste forbid the
wearing of bonnet in the evening at a
