 Long before tbe days of bleemers wemeA on tts higacr is.ei of the Alps wore trousers, and no one thought any. thing about II. The Alpine women wear the eifurcataa garment for utility and nor for bearty, as eIe may judge if he CT she has seen one of these girls. Come liness and the Alpine hsrdswomen are far apart, but the style Of the garments they wear and the hard lie that is theirs are at the root of tue trouble.
 These women have little of the grace and agility seen in the maidens of Nor way. They will leap across chaans with nonchalance, but there is nothing wild and free about their movements. While she IS talking to you the Alpine herds woman is quite apt to thrust out an un- gainly leg, plant q heavy boot on the neck of | soat and stand thus while she conyersa8
 With the exception Of the blacks who endure q lif9 Of hunger iD the interior of Africa there is hardly any one in the world who fares so badly as the herds men aud sFaA2en of Switzerland. They cannot aH01t to eat Ehe beETies they find on the mountain side, and they cannot afford to drink the milk supplied by t.aeir doeks. Their fare is meat that has baeA dried, salted and turned into un. savory ,her, rye bread that is like bla' Tened ciEders and cabbage stalks in pickle, that contain about as much nutri- ment as a walking stick. Hungry as the herdswoman may be on her return home, sAe must cat but spsringiy of these dSintiss, for fear they should come to an end before another trip to the valley oan be made.
 These women breakfast at in the mcrain2 snd then answer the response of the eattio lowing at the door of the chalet, begging to be attended to and driven up 10 some fayorite Alp. They eat again same Is or l4 hours later, when tho weary tramp back to the chalet is about to begin. Between times, with siekles, they reap the long, eoarse Alpine grasses, which are to serve as food for the cattle during the winter.
 This grass is bound into bundles as large as the women themselves and car. ried 0n their backs down to the home steads The winter Arewood is brought the same way. The chalet, the home of one Cf these women, is the most pictar. esque Of any peasants dwelling place. but inside it is ROt desirable. It is nsu- ally perehsd on the orags of the Ober- land and is dark, for the windows are constructed not So much to admit light as to keep out the heavy snows of the winter Ia one corner is a low, broad platform with sacks of hay and oou- pie of blankets upon 1t. The less luxuri- ous dispense with the blankets and ths herdswoman usnaliy goes to rest in the same attire she wore during the day. In the autumn when the cattle are driven down for ths last time, dance is given by the hsrdsmen and the women. and on tIiese occasions the girls exchange their trousers for ths usual skirt -Kansas City Times.

California Is Widely Celebrated, but Xii.

 In the first place, California is known nos by what millions of people have seen, but by what millions have read. Europe is better known by contact to Americans than California A prurrt. nent American author recently "discoY. cred California and filled the neTspa. pers with che interesting and suggestive Impressions it had made upon his mind. he had been to Europe 90 times and to the Faelfie coast once, which is once of- tensr than many other distinguished travellers of the eastern seaboard, Still further, the Anglo-Saxon race is dealing with new conditions in California. Coming from dense forests. from land of heavy rainfall and from a temperate climate, where winters are long and stern, it settled in treeless deserts, in Q land of slight and peculiar rainfall and under sky that never knows the win. tsr. Finally California is in it's infancy.
 Born in g paroxysm of speculation one of the widest the world has seen--- 1t has entliyed 8 trying experience of lesser economic epilepsy and come to the threshold of it's true career strengthened and purified by the extraordinary proc. ess. In less than half century several faTreaohins changes have swept through the industrial and social life of the state. swiftly altering the conditions of labor and of business. Even for those living in the midst of these events it has been difficult to read their significance and estimate their influence on the ultimate character of the place and people. What wonder, then, that to the outside world California has meantime appeared like a tumble of gold, palms and oranges, of gilded millionaires and hopeless pau pers, Of eRviable farmers living luxuri- ously on small sections of paradise and of serEile alien laboreEs herded in stihing tsnHments?

| Mar.sleas Feat Of Msrnarr.

MRretaa tells us that during his tray els ever Earopa he met the marvel of msrvsls" At Paaua. The marvel in question WAS young Gorsiean, who was ia the city for the purpose of pur- suing his studies ct the university. Ma reta1, haYif heard that the young nan wss gifted 3ith aN extraordinary rasm- ory, desired to pRs the student to the tsst

Marcus and three distjn- gaished YenetisaS agreed to tsst the ao- owraey of the statement. 4 committee visited sae student of extraordinary memory and found him willing to sab. init to ths ordeal. Accordingly there was read over to hi1n an alm0st inter minable lisE of words strung together without any consecutive order aud without any nleaning whatever.
 The y0uag man stood all the time with his attention deeply fixed and his eyss half closed. When ths long ssring of w1rds lad heen read of, hs looked up eheerRuNy and repeated the whole of the uninteresting catalogue of words without single faaIt. Then, to show how carefully his wonderful memory had retained every word, he went through the list backward. When that task was finished. he took each alter Rate word--frss, third, afth, eta. --and repeated them until the company was thoroughly convinced that they were ia shs presene of tho most wonderful pred igy Of memory that the world had ever produced.

A Montana Renaissance.

One of thS sold settler" lawyers oil
Billings, Montana, has been spinning
early times stories TO the Gazette,
among them being the followingi
In the year 1882 II. II. Mund came
IN here from Deadwood to start q
bank. Although he wasn't exactly
verdant, he hadn't been out West long
and had a very considerable respect
for SIX shooters and other implements
OF a like nature, which were worn ms
ornaments by almost everyone in
those days. He had some experience,
too, IN dancing in Deadwood, at which
times he would become very playful
and his antics afforded much amuse-
ment to those who gathered TO look
on. For this and for other reasons he
had become very conservative and
avoided mingling IN any questionable
society.
The building in which the bank
was to be located was "A frame, and
was not finished when Mund and the
safe arrived; so the safe was put tenn.
porarlly IN tent, which was occupied
by FULLY, Hart & Friezo as "a hardware
store. Mund had been in these quar-
tiers but few days when a rough, Wild
looking man, dressed in Montana
broadc!oth, with Winchester over
one arm and brace OF six.shooters in
his belt, stopped into tho tent and, in
grufi voice, inquired for tho new
banker. Mund was pointed to as tho
man wanted, and the Westerner up.
preached.
" 'Ughl Are you tho now bankerg
said the stranger.
" Yes. sir; anything l can DO for
you?
"The stranger reached down in his
pockets and, in an instant, up went
Mund's hands and bis face became as
pale as death, whilo his knees knocked
together and became so weak that he
could not take refuge ia flight.
"A broad smile spread over the face
of Tom McGIrl, the cattle baron, as
instead OF six shooter, as Mund OK
cted-he drew out S25,O 900 in bills
for deposit and asked, in his gruf,
business like way.
" Are you ready to do little bus
mess?
"lhe agony was over and Mund's
pulse soon began to beat regularly
again. Billings Gazette.
