Walking.

For walking with pleasure and advan.
tage should give few simple rules.
The application Of these rules for him
self every man must make with due al
lowance for his own peculiarities. Take
plenty Of time at meals. Do not walk
right after n meal. Rest well before the
noon and evening meals. Drink all you
desire Of good water during the tramp,
but sparingly ct meals or just before
eating. Good digestion is as important
to good walking as it is necessary for
good work Of any kind. As to foods, q
man has to take on his tramp what ia
set before him. It will generally be
nourishing enough il he will be careful
to eat it when not tired and to eat it
slowly. At the end OF each day take q
sponge or towel bath or O dry rub down.
At aeast wash your feet and change
socks, and shoes, toe, if possible. A
change Of all my clothing next to the
akin at the end of each day is imperative
with me. Chicago News

INCAPABLE OF IMPERSONAuTY.
An Alleged Failing That Has Deferred
Woman's Emancipation.

An Alleged Failing That Has Deferred
Woman's Emancipation.
The bond Of fellowship which exists
between man and man simply by virtue
Of common sex is entirely absent be-
tween woman and woman. 1t is, in
fact, replaced by fundamental antago-
nism, u vague enmity which renders
the general attitude Of feminine crea-
ture toward her kind essentially differ
emit from that of the male creature in
identical relations. In individual cases
this feeling is counteracted by affection
or by sympathy, but apart from person
oil sentiment it remains, severing every
living woman from the rest Of her sex.
To great extent this arises from wom-
ans incapacity for impersonal feeling or
abstract emotion. In LIES fray she
fights either for her own hand or, moro
often, for some one man or woman
whom she loves, but rarely for the well
fare Of her sex at large.
Were it not for this strange lack Of hu-
mainly in her nature, the emancipation
Of woman would not have been so griev-
ously retarded. If the few women who
suffered aforetime under the restrictions
which hedged in their liberty had been
able to count on the sympathy and CO
operation of all women, the time Of
their subjugation would have been enor-
mously abbreviated. AS it was, the first
seekers after freedom met with more
opposition from their own sex than they
did from the other; nor, indeed, do they
fare better today. Enormous changes
in their social status were effected by
an uncomfortable minority of women
brave enough aud logical enough to i'm
press the male powers that be with the
justice of their demands. But for their
courage they received no sympathy and
for their success not one word Of thanks
nothing, in fact, but execration from
the huge inert feminine mass in whose
service their strength was spent.-SaA

Grizzly Peak, across the bay, behind
Berkeley, at the summit of the Oakland
range, 1925 feet; Tamalpais, on which l
stood; Mount Diablo, to the east, reared
its massive form, its crest towering 1878
feet In the heavens, and far off to the
south Mount Hamilton could be seen, on
the summit of considerable range, AGO
feet above the level of the bay. All these
can be seen from one of the higher hills
OF our City, and of course at a great adj
vantage where lay in the delightful at
mosphere. Then turning my face to the
north the great bulk of Mount st. Helena
rose before me at an altitude of 4S43 feet.
Descending from the left ear of the
mountain l passed the pretty little hotel
that has recently been erected for the ac-
commodation of sightseers and wended
my way to the hump of the lion. After
quite walk stood on the highest point
of the entire mountain. Here l found
four pillars, each about three feet high
and about eighteen inches thick.
mounted the one that seemed on,higher
ground than the others and unused: They
say that this mountain is 1887 feet high.
If so then this pillar is fully three feet,
therefore we will call the peak 2600 feet
above the level of the ocean,"
While on the way obtained a beautiful
view of the lake which supplies San Rafael
with water, nesting in the strong arms of
the mountain and drawing it's nourish-
ment from its veins. Then to the north
Point Reyes plainly visible, and far off in
the distance, like a drawn sword, was
Tomales Bay. Around me was wilder
ness of chaparral, clothing the sides of the
mountain, while in the canyons at the
base ana on the sides of the mountain
were heavy growths OF redwood. While
perched there gazing around at the wild
and beautiful scene I recalled that mag
nihcent phrase of our California poet,
Lucius H. Foote, in describing the tre-
mendous disorder of the Sierras where he
speaks of "the petr1fied commotion."
Returning to the eastern crest 1 sat
down for an hour, this time in the sun, for
l was cooled off and found the soft beams
delightful. With the glorious landscape

paw and Ross Valley the left. My course
led me up and along the right paw to the
shoulder. In doing this passed many
pretty villas and Shady hooks, while the
rise was very gradual. After while
passed the new railroad leading to the
summit, which has lately been built, and
1 thought-Richard can have his horse
and the old or lazy can take the train, but

Once more I passed one of the many
windings of the railroad, the second and
last crossing. Up to this point the ground
was more or less undulating, the ascents
of course being greater than the incline,
but at 9:10 / descended the last and gentle
slope and began the climb in earnest, for
it seemed as though the path led directly
to the summit. Indeed the activity comes
alarmingly close to being As degrees. As
long as the path waa good and the atnos-
phere cool / was IN my element, but the
direct rays of the sun, the absence OF

to make it dreadfully uncomfortable. Of
course the latter cause was attributable to
myself, and need not be initiated by those
who climb purely for pleasure.
will not go into the details of my climb
up the face of the mountain. Sufficient to
say that kept placing one foot in front
of the other and watching the pole on
the summit, and after sundry turnlngs
and windings, after many gasp and
groan, almost staggering with exhaustion,
/ stood on the pinnacle of Tamalpais, the
tip of the lions left ear. But / stood
there only long enough TO examine my
watch and find that it registered just 9:45,
having accomplished the distance from
the station in fifty-two minutes. Having
performed this duty l sought shady
spot, and wish to say, without hesita-
ton, that it was worth all the exertion,
and more too, to lie there in the presence
of that magnificent scene and feel the gen
tie breeze, like some Oriental slave, fan
my heated face.
Of all the cities on this continent of
equal or greater population San Francisco
is unquestionably the most favored in
point of scenery. New York, Chicago,
Philadelphia, st. Louis and New Orleans
are distressingly fiat, while Brooklyn,
Baltimore and Cincinnati have few rises
of ground that would compare with Mob
Hill at the greatest. Montreal, which is
inferior in population to our own City,
has a respectable hill behind it, much
like Mount Olympus, south of Golden
Gate Park, reserved by the city for the
public and much enjoyed by them. But
of all these cities not one possesses the
gift of scenery which nature has lavished
on our favored City: Twin Peaks, 925

A striking feature OF the future route of
travel around the world via San Fran
cisco and Siberia is the vast distance the
passenger will find the jurisdiction of
only two fags-American and Russian
to shield him. Both countries, facing on
both of the great oceans, are naturally
the ones to be trayersed in the around
the world circuit. Some existing routes
of travel render it possible to travel 13, ,So4
miles under the United States flag. Max

Il CONQUEST BY 8TEEM
Trip Around the World VIII Soon

Prince Hilkoff of Russia has been re-
peating IN the Eastern States that when
the trans-Siberlan road shall be COM
pleted it will be possible to go around the
earth by the ordinary routes and methods
of travel in thirty days..

sion of the Russian Prince.
:. Men connected with the transnor-
tation interest in San Francisco
they who foresee in the COMPARE
lively near future the Golden Gate
crowded with carriers of commerce be-
tween Asia and San Francisco, have taken
out their pencils in the last few days to
verify or to disproye Prince Rilkoff. The
conclusion OF probably the most expert of
all these hgurers is that Prince Hilkoff is
entirely justified in his view of the possibil-
tiles.
An interesting feature of this considera-
ton is the actual distance to be traversed,
pasing the estimate upon the mileage of
existing rail lines and the projected
lengths of that part of the trans-Siberlan
road lying east of Cheliabinsk and max
ing the sea routes coincide about with the
great circles.
Thirty days of 720 hours in total furnish
the time, and the total distance is, very
closely calculated, 1874 miles. The Allan
tic Ocean distance is 1896 miles and the Pa
Z cific Ocean distance from San Francisco to
. .fladivostok, the eastern terminus and
port for the trans-Siberan line, is 6325
miles via Yokohama. The distance direct
TO Vladivostok is less than via Yoko-
hama, but in making this calculation it
has been taken into account that many
steamers between San Francisco and
Vladivostok will naturally visit Yoko-
hama en- route for trade reasons.
The purpose of estimating on such a
basis is to reach an intelligent conclusion
. concerning the actual facts, and not to
make "freak story" 1t may also be
promised in this regard that the periods
consumed in land and sea voyages are
estimated on existing timetables in COM
mon use, and it is possible to make con-
nections exactly as set down therein. The
divergences from the actual facts are oniY
found in giving steamers to be used on the
Pacific Ocean, between San Francisco and
Vladivostok, an average speed of twenty
knots per hour. to coincide with the speed
Of the best steamers ON the transatlantic
routes; also giving railroad trains an aver
age rate of 39,6S miles, which, in view of
trains in portions of the United States and
also European trains making headway of
fifty to sixty miles an hour, cannot be
considered excessive.
Taking then Prince Hilkoff's ''thirty
daVs around the Torldn as q time esti-
mate, the problem, as it will concern San
Francisco not many years hence, may be
summed up about as follows:

Bakers strong imagery and exquisite
thought did not stop there, however. A
night or two before the arrival OF the
Sonora with the glad tidings of the COM
pletion of the cable, Donati's comet blazed
forth and was seen for the first time with
the naked eye, although the great astron-
omer had notified the world of its ap-
proach nearly two months before. Baker
referred TO this in his usual felicitous
way:
But, even while we assemble to marx the
deed and rejoice at its completion, the
Almighty as if to impress us with becoming
sence of our weakness when compared with
his power has set new signal OF his reign in

perceive, low down on the edge of the horizon,
bright stranger, pursuing its path across the
sky. Amid the starry hosts that keep their
watch, it shines, attended by brighter pomp
and followed by broader train. No living
man has gazed upon its spendors before, no
watchiul yotary of science has traced its course
for nearly ten generations. 1t is more than
500 years since its approach was visible from
our planet. When last it came it startled an
Emperor on his throne, and while the super
sti,ion of his age taught him to perceive in its
presence herald and doom, his pride saw
in it's flaming course and frey train the an
nouncement that his own light was about to
be extinguished. In common with the lowest
OF his subjects, he read omens OF destruction
in the baleful heavens, and prepared himself
for fate which alike awaits the mightiest and
the meanest. Thanks TO the present condition
OF scientific knowledge, we read the heavens
with far clearer perception. We see, in the
predicted return of the rushing, blazing comet

trans-Siberian line opens the tourist may
be under the American flag and Russian
flag on land and on sea nearly the entire
distance around the earth.
Travelling by way o. Sydney an actual
schedule of eighty days can be prepared for
the circuit OF the earth and on this route
an American can travel 14,0SS miles and
be thirty-eight days under the American
flag, which is therefore the banner Ameri-
can route. The American steamers are
those of the Oceanic Steamship line on
the Pacific anu the American line steam
ers on the Atlantic Ocean. Taking Lon

Do You Want Exercise !?

There are many persons to whom the
question of exercise is an important one.
Circumstances are such that they cannot
devote time and attention to athletics of
any description. Household cares or even
ing duties are moro or less confining. and
prevent any indulgence in healthful exer-
cises. Perhaps too, they have had to fore
go the bicycle on account of a slim purse
and an expensive family. At any rate
there are many reasons that prohibit
many people from keeping up athletic
sports and games. To such persons l
would make few suggestions.
To begin with l have found myself in
just such position. My great bugbear in
lack of time. Business duties, home obli-
cations and the demand on my spare time
