would prefer for one oder aud wiser
to reply to Dr. Taber, sense Of JUS

My knowledge Of Clemson andi It's

feel qualified to reply and give the
truth as to conditions taere-not

one of comman sense
No doubt tne sanitary condition OF
Clemson is not what it should be, but
is this sufficient ground for a venal
attack upon the beard, and faculty !,
Let the blame SO to him responsible,
and let the trustees, all Of whom
have the colleges interest at heart,
decide who is responsible

Vacation DAYS.

In the Lake Regions of Wisconsin, North
ern Michigan. Minnesota, Iowa and South
Dakota. along the lines of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul Railway, are hun
dreds of charming localities prominently
fitted for summer homes, nearly all OF
which are located on or near lakes which
nave not been fshed out. These resorts
range in variety from the full dress for
dinner to the flannel shirt costume for
every meal. Among the list are names IA
miliar to many of our readers as the per
lection Of Northern summer resorts. Near
" all of the Wisconsin points of interest
are within a short distance from Chicago
or Milwaukee. and none of them are so far
away from the busy narts of civilization
that they cannot be reached in few hours
of travel, by frequent trains, over the finest
road in the NOrthwest-the Chicago, Mil

The japanese Alps.


The japanese Alps" in altitude are
only about two-thirds that of the Swiss
mountains, but the magnificent forests
which clothe their mighty TANKS and
the rich and picturesque valleys which
lie at their feet give them an indi-
viduality and charm which are not sur
passed by any other mountain region
of the world Owing to the fact that
travel among them is of the toughest
description. these wild Businesses have
hitherto remained charmed circle
within a charmed circle" In variety,
nothing is wanting. from the richness
OF sub-trOpical vegetation to Alpine
SHOWS. The Japanese. as we'll as the
Europeans, have their climbing clubs,
and make much more elaborate ar
rangementS for the comfort and con-
yenience of their member than the
Swiss or British clubs. Thcy have a
system of huts all along their noun
tain routes, with porters for carrying
tired climbers or women. 1t will be
seen from this that the ascent of most
of the peaks is attended with little
discomfort and almost no danger. Sew
eral of the peaks have peculiar inter-
est. They are regarded as sacred, and
the foreign traveller who climbs there
meets all sorts of pilgrims. and wit

les. The two most sacred mountains

Rain is one of the most active rock
destroying agents, acting upon it both
chemically and mechanically. 1t dis
solves out the soluble part and makes
the insoluble part crumble; and me
chanically these crumbling parts are
washed off so that the higher peaks
above where the forests grow are al
ways bare, naked rocks; because the
continual wash of the rain and the force
OF the winds sweep away all of the
debris: consequently the naked rock is
always exposed to rapid disintegration

Understanding, in search of eggs.
Among the most distinguished adopts
in this difficult and perilous art is
appropriately enough-one of the
most popular officers in the British
army-Lieutenant-C Colonel Willoughby-
Werner, of the Rife Brigade, who is,
at this moment. professor of mill
tary science at Sandhurst.
While stationed at Gibraltar, be-
tween 1874 and 1880, Colonel Werner
had splendid opportunities for indulg-
ing his favorite pastime. The lowest
AS to situation-and also the very
first eagles nest 1 ever took. was that
of an Imperial eagle-a tree-nesting
species. This nest was in a stunted
tree, only 20 feet high. in the middle
of an almost impenetrable thicket,
which was surrounded by a large
swamp covered with reeds 10 feet
high" Here the great bird relied for
security on the solitude of the swamp.
and the difficulty of access to the tree.
Certainly, Colonel Werner would never
have reached that nest were 1t not
for the assistance rendered by a couple
of bare-legged Spanish leech-catchers.
who beat down the reeds for him with
their poles. The gallant Colonels
highest nest las compared with the
lowest. mentioned above) was that OF
a golden eagle, which took up its abode
in dizzy crag, $500 feet above Jimena.

Asked as to the details of his cliff
climbing outfit, Colonel Werner said:
II take with me $50 feet of 1-inch
Alpine rope; so feet of Pinch rope for
bad places; ball of strong Irvine
with lead weight attached, for COM
municating up or down; nest of tin

quite a startling manner the frightful
positions in which cliff-climbers quite
commonly find themselves. This dar-
