THE STRAIN or IT.
Mountaineering L. Only Healthful fos
Some People.

mountaineering Only H00lthfUl kO1
Some People.
Can we regard mountaineering as in
the main and for the mass of tourists
! safe and healthful amusement? This
In q question which cannot be answered
without considerable reserves and
qualifications. Mountaineering - by
which we mean ascents of 10000 or 49,
600 feet and upwards-involves much
strain and severe fatigue. The strain
is first upon the muscular system; but
it affects even more Importantly the
circulatory, respiratory and nervous
mechanisms. In some persons the
heart seems to feel the tax most, in
others the nervous system is chiefly af-
fected. Palpitation and "mountain
sickness"-the Inter in all probability
neurosis-are the two chief difficult
ties that beset the average mountain
Ger.
1t is clear from these considerations
that mountaineering is not for every
body. There must be first of all,
sound general physique, considerable
endurance and the capacity for pro-
longed and continuous effort. But it
is not at all so generally understood
that q sound heart muscle-a well-de-
veloped and well-exercised myocar-
dium-is indispensable for any con-
siderable mountaineering feats. Hence
any suspicion of structural heart dis
ease is an absolute standardization
for any such exploits. Further, the
heart must be not only structurally
condition. Hence, sedentary livers,
who for II months in the year have no
regular active exercise, should not en-
ploy their holiday months in mountain
eering. Yachting or fishing will be
much safer for such, and perhaps not
less healthful.
Many Alpine accidents have been the
result of neglect of this very obvious
rule. For similar reasons mountain
eering should be eschewed by persons
in middle life who have not acquired
the requisite training in youth, and
even those who in the heydey of their
early prime delighted in the sport and
enjoyed many crowded hour of glo-
rious life on some Alpine summit
would do well to remember Horace's
maxim regarding the aged steed, and
bid timely adieu to exploits no long
CT suited to their years. A certain sta
bility of the nervous system is indis-
pensable for mountaineering, but it is
difficult to say anything precisely on
this head. Neurotic individuals not
only climb badly as a rule, but they do
not benefit by the air above certain
moderate level. A certain GOODNESS of
nerve is a necessary qualification for
the many ascents which involve actual
danger-danger usually avoidable and
seldom extreme, but not to be lightly
encountered by those deficient in stead
mess and sclf-control.-Londo Lancet.

what now?" asked pa.
martha Shafer stopped here going to
her work in the tailor shop, and said
that she had been directed to ask all the
neighbors to go to Mrs. Sloane's to-
night; we should call round any time
convenient; that we were to see Mrs.
Sloane in bloomer dress"
Aunt Lois explained to Cousin Liza
that Mrs. Sloane was big, feshy wonl-
an, and would look about as graceful rs
a cow in boomers.
"Pity, isn't it, such people don't have
some work to do, so they wouldn't make
themselves SO ridiculous getting up
things" was another of Ma Somers'
wise sayings, as she added more and
more to her store of baking.
In the afternoon the neighbors
dropped in to Mrs. Somers' as a sort of
headquarters, and talked over the whole
question of dress, and of city people
thinking country people did not know
anything.
They decided they would not go near
the house.
Did you hear the joke on Mrs.
Sloane?" asked one of the neighbors.
mo, what was it?" all exclaimed.
"Well, she was at the Corners, and
asked If there was library here. Joe
Green, of course, was on hand, and he
said yes, he believed there was, and that
it was in charge of the cobbler, over the
way"
Mr.. Forbes, the cobbler, told the rest
of the story the other day. He said she
came and asked him, and he said he
reckoned there were some books in the
cellar. Seems the old library that was
started and failed was moved around
TO get it out of the way, until it was
put in the cellar there of the old house
where he has his shop. He got candle
and told her to come on In the cellar
and not fall over the old stairs, and then
he put his hand into an old cheese safe
and hauled out two musty books-the
Life of Washington and Life Among
the Mormons.' And will you believe it!

mons What did she want of that, do
you Think"
Mrs. Somers suggested that Mrs.
Sloane just wanted to see what they had
there, and by and by would make out
they were sort of heather.
Pa Somers tried to quiet the jargon
by saying that the city lady seemed
very kind and nice to him.
But he was silenced by a volley Of
words from his wife, who said that
Martha Shafer and pa seemed to be
champions of the new people, and must
be expected to pay for their trouble.
However, pa ventured once more to
say that Mr.. Sloane talked of buying

SHOOTS, WITH ONE ARM.
A California Hunter Who Kills Game to
Support Family of Seven.

For 20 years Thomas Allen, of Mon
terey, familiarly known as ''Allen the
Hunter" has been making a living for
seven people with his left arm and a
gun. One day when he was about Is
years of age he was out hunting ducks
on the Monterey lagoon. In some man
ner his gun caught and was discharged,
wounding him in his right arm, near
the shoulder. He lay in the tules with
his arm bleeding profusely until he was
picked up by some men who CHANGED
10 pass, and was taken to his home.
DR.. Garfield, of Monterey, and DR.. Cal
lahan, of San Francisco, both noted
physicians in the early days of Califor-
MIA, held consultation. Owing to the
great loss of blood they pronounced the
boy beyond the reach of medical aid.
His mother, however, called in an old
Indian herb doctor, and before the
year was out the boy was as well as
ever, but minus his right arm.
Young Aliens father was famous
marllsman, and the boy seemed to in
herit a strong taste for hunting. When
he was only four years old he would
beg to go with his father to shoot the
"little CATS as he called the cotton
tail rabbits which infested Monterey
in those days. When five years old
his career as a hunter began, for his
father took him out in q field adjoin-
ing their home, placed the gun over
a chair, and let him shoot at one of the
little cats. He killed it, and from that
moment he has always had a mania for
hunting all sorts of game.
When Mr.. Allen was Is and the &C
cident occurred that resulted in the
loss of his right arm he thought that
his hunting days were over. AS his
father died shortly before, part of the
support of the family devolved upon
him. At first he tried the gaming table,
as it seemed his only resource.
I'm those days." said he, in speaking
of the matter recently, $3.50 gold pieces
were more common than uickels are to-
day. But 1 didn't like the ups and
downs of a gamblers life and the as
sociations, SO L gave it up and deter
mined to learn to shoot with my left
arm."-San Francisco Examiner.

city," called out Mrs. Somers. "They
must have had calves'-head jelly, you
know, anc, positively, they expect that
cream floss almost in the streets here.
1t is all r9ght to sell to them, but you
can't sell what you want yourself, at
least I'm not going to-" ratified on Mrs.
Somers, never waiting for any answer to
questions.
Mr.. Somers reused himself, and spoke
up:
what are you women always bother
ing your heads about those people for ?
Why don't you let them alone? What
has started you now?"
"Why, pa, don't you know about our
invitation? You must get over your

Or speak kindly word, or on me fondly
smile,
Full lighter grows the burden that bear Of
sorrow,
And in life's sunshine. happy, stand

Or your dear presence for a moment at my

ITill make my dreary pathway bloom with

And the shut gates OF Paradise open to

There's never a day SO dark and orear
But that it's close may shine
In rose, and gold, and amethyst,
And tints of ruby wine.
There's never a night so wrapt about
With mist and slantirg rain,
But that the clouds may roll away
And stars shine out again.

COUNTY WARRANTS TO BE
ISSUED.

The last session of the board OF
county commissioners was one of
unusual interest from the fact that
the board having determined, un-
der the recent decision of the SUI
preme court. that the county is
now within it's constitutional limit
of indebtedness, it could legally re-
sumo the issuing of warrants. There
fore an order was made directing
Auditor Tobin to at once issue war
rants for all outstanding claims
which have been allowed. Of course
this involves vast amount of work
but nevertheless the auditor ex-
poets to have the work done by the
first of April or soon thereafter.
All persons holding assignments
of claims will best protect their in
terests by filing the same with the
auditor. When the warrants are
ready for delivery all persons whose
addresses are known will be noti-
fed.
No cost bills from justices courts
have been considered by the board
which were filed since December,
1894. These bills will probably be
taken up and acted upon at the
next meeting of the board. No
warrants can be issued for these
claims until such action by the
board of which the published pro-
ceedings of the board will give due
notice.
In the matter of claims against
road district funds it is we'll to no.
tice that all pending claims have
been approved and allowed, but
warrants are only issued on these
funds where there is money in the
fund to pay same. The claims are
all posted consecutively in a ledger
and monthly, as funds accumulate,
warrants are issued and cheeks
procured and sent to all persons en-
titled to same.
