ALPINE HERpsWoMEN.
They Wore Trousers Before Bloomcrs
 Were Heard of.


 Long before tho dlsys of bloomers women on the higher level of the Alps wore trousers, and no one thought any thing about #. Tho Alpine women wear the bifurcatod garment for utility and not for bearty, as one may judge if he or she has seen one of these girls Come Illness and the Alpine herdswomen are far apart, but tho style of the garments they wear and the hard life that is theirs are at the root of the trouble.
 These women have little of the grace and agility seen in the maidens of Nor way. They will leap across ehasns 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 heavy boot on the neck of Q goat and stand thus while she oonyerses.
 With tho exception of the blacks who endure life of hunger in the interior of Africa there is hardly any one in the world who fares so badly as the herds men and women of Switzerland. They cannot affort to eat the berries they find on the mountain side. and they cannot afford to drink the milk supplied by their focks. Their fare is meat that has been dried, salted and turned into un- savory leather, rye bread that Is like blaokened cinders and cabbage stalks in pickle, that contain about as much nutri- ment as walking stick. Hungry as tho herdswoman may be on her return home. she must eat but sparingly of these dainties, for fear they should come to an end before another trip to the valley can be made.
 These women breakfast at 3 i'll the morning and then answer the response of the cattle lowing at the door of the chalet, begging to be attended to and driven up 10 some fayorite Alp. They eat again some 12 or l4 hours later, when the weary tramp back to the chalet Is about to begin. Between times, with siekles. they reap the long, coarse Alpine grasses. which are to serve IS food for the cattle during the winter.
 This grass is bound into bundles as large as the women themselves and car ried on their backs down to the home- steads. The winter firewood Is brought the same way. The chalet. the home of one of these women, is the most piotur esque of any peasants dwelling place, but inside it Is not desirable. 1t is usu- ally perehed on the erags of tho 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. In one corner is a low. broad platform with sacks of hay and eou- pie of blankets upon 1t. The less luxuri- ous dispense with the blankets and the herdswoman usually goes to rest in the same attire sine were during the | ay in the autumn, when the cattle are driven down for the last time, dance IS given by the herdsmen and the women, and 1ou these occasions the girls exchange their trousers for the usual skirt.

Considerable excitement has been caused at Athens by tho publication in the official gazette of proclamation calling out the reserves and deereeing the immediate formation of a camp of exercise and instruction. The conviction is generally entertained that the king, who has recently returned from Vienna, would not have done this had he not acquired there the knowledge that grave events are imminent in tho southeast of Europe.

Every one has noticed how, when |, q large branch of tree is cut of, small branches will shoot out around the stump. These branches are from the res serve buds, of which all trees have a great number at every portion of thelr surface. Under ordinary circumstances these never come to maturity, but when the tree is wounded or cut of or loses some of it's branches the reserve buds at once come into play aud renew the fou- age.

THE MARYLAND RACING LAW
A Decision Which Will Restrict
Winter Sport.
STATUTE HAS BEEN EVADED
1t was Held by the Court That No
Association Can Conduct Races
for More Than Thirty Days Dur
ing the Year-A Change of Tracks
Makes No Difference.

Annapolis, Md, Feb. 24.-Winter racing
in Maryland received black eye today
when the court of appeals handed down
its decision in the case OF the State
against Thomas Dyer. Dyer was indicted
in the circuit court for Cecil county, on
the charge Of gambling making pools in
violation of the act of lS9i-which de-
clares that it shall be unlawful for any
person to gamble or make pools on the
result OF Il race Of any kind, or to suffer
to be used any premises for such purpose,
except for a period OF thirty days in
any one calendar year.
The court says: 1t seems evident that
the legislature intended merely to restrict
the gambling TO the day on which the race
was run, and to change the period of
time allowed To races on which gambling
was permitted. Agricultural asSocia-
tions and owners OF driving parks are
granted special privileges by this act, but
the privileges are not indefinite and un-
limited. 1t could not be supposed that an
association could insist that it had the
right to use two distinct parcels Of
land for the purpose of holding races; nor
race course or driving park contend that
he had the right to use two or more
race courses
The comprehensive and unqualified eX-
nressions used by the legislature show that
they regarded this species OF gambling as
a serious evil, and desired to suppress it,
but, for reasons which they considered sat
isfactory they saw fit TO permit it under
,,y.s,.r 80 ~,
days in any one year. When they made this
exception they certainly did not intend to
nullify It's provisions altogether. If an
owner of a race course can extend the ex-
emptions to two race courses he has the
same right TO a dozen, or twenty, or as
many more as he chooses to have"
The court holds that the first and third
counts in the Indictment were defective,
but suStains the demurrer TO the second
count, whichlets Dyer off on technicality,
while it sustains the case as a whole At
torney General Clabaugh, in commenting
on the decision, said:
The decision viii stop any one asso-
citation from holding races for more than
thirty days in year in this State under
any circunl stances, and VIII prevent one
| association from owning more than one
track. Heretofore the association would
hold races for thirty days on one track
and would then move to another and con
tinue the races there. An these viii be
stopped. But different associations may
! be formed, and in that way 1t might be
possible to get around this Interpretation
| of the law, by holding the races under the
| name of one association in one place and
| under the name of another association III
another, thus keeping the thing going.
| Such action might, however, be stopped
| if it should be shown that the different
| associations were only formed for the
| purpose OF getting over the tech nical
difficulties of the statute, when the
| plain intent and meaning Of the legis-
Iature was the prohibition OF such racing
| altogether

MAY BE A LAW ON SATURDAY.
The Bill Relating to the Office OF
District Attorney.

The bill which has spassedCongFess author
izing the Supreme Court to fill a vacancy
in the office of District Attorney under
certain contingencies will become a law
on Saturday next, if the President takes
no action on it. He may veto it, he may
sign it, or he may allow it to become
law by permitting the ten days limita-
ton to pass without signing or vetoing it.
AS the bill was passed on the 18th inst
and Saturday next will be the day of
Limitation, 1t is the, common impression
that whatever be the fate of the measure
it will not be known until the last possible
moment. This condition indicates thatthe
President is taking an extraordinary In
terest III the bill, and, of course, in Mr..
Davis, his nominee for the place Of Dis
trict attorney, and t is also said that
his present attitude is intended naturally
to be in favor of his suggestion for that
office.
In the meanwhile the affairs Of the office
are being conducted in an unnecessarily
abnormal way. and matters affecting every
criminal and criminal process for the Dis
trict are allowed to take care of them
selves. The Importance of making law
appears to be in the minds of many CON-
sideration secondary to the appointment
of this or that nominee to the place.
