what Women Arc Doing.

The queerest fad on record is that Of
Miss Dell Ten Eyck of Worcester,
Mass, who amuses herself by captur-
ing and tanning all sorts of sea mon
strosities. She has jars of devil fish
and says she really enjoys their pres
ence.
Cuban women Of the families of the
insurgents are intoxicating what they
consider right ideas in the minds Of
their children. A primer has just been
printed in Cuba setting forth revolu-
tionary sentiments In an attractive
manner.
In France women have monopoly

few expenses, their meals being fur
nished by the restaurant and a plain
black dress beng all that is required
in the way Of toilet during working
hours.

ParahIan for Old Maids.

Old maids must claim the little king
dom of Denmark for their Paradise, for
they are insured there. Any girl who
feels that there is a likelihood Of her
being laid on the shelf may make pro-
vision whereby she can, at the age Of
40, be put in the spinster class for good
and receive weekly benefits. These
benefits, of course, are in cash. Some
Of the old maids might prefer to have
it so that, instead Of money, they
would have nice, well-trained bache-
Tor call twice week and stay and be
entertaining. Some enterprising Am
erican ought to get up such scheme.

conveniently In the belt round my

the most difficult task of all, and one
which may last five minutes or an
hour, or even longer still, according to
circumstances. Then 1t frequently
happens that when everything is ready
for the exposure, one of my legs will
slip or my body sway in an aggravat-
ing manner so that the nest will have
to be re-focused.

thing but pleasant. Remember, ones
life is literally in the hands Of the man

his companion, the signal man, and he
let the coil Of rope slip up to the top

WHIPPING POST IN BOSTON.

Chastlsement.

Even Women Were Not Spared Public
Chastlsement.
Alice Morse Earle, in an article on
'Punishments Of Bygone Days. in the
Chap Book, after giving John Taylor
the Water Poets rhymed description
Of corporal punishment in London, ex-
plains how rapidly flogging came into
use in Boston. The whipping post was
speedily in full force In Boston. At
the session Of the court held Nov. &C.,
1880, one man was sentenced to be
whipped for stealing a loaf of bread,
another for shooting fowl on the Sab
bath, another for swearing, another Tor
leaving boat without a pylott." Then
we read of John Pease that for "stryk-
ing his mother and derydlng her he
shalbe whipt." Lying, swearing, taxi
ing false toll, perjury, selling rum to
the Indians-all we're punished by
whipping. Plous regard for the Sab
bath was fercely upheld by the sup
port of the whipping post. In 1913
Roger Scott, for repeated sleeping on
the Lords day" and for striking the
person who walked him from his god
less slumber, was sentenced to be Sc
verely whipped. Women were not
spared public chastisement. 1.-THE gift
of prophecy" was at once subdued in
Boston by lashes, as was uawomanly

Tho Japanese Aims.

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 fastnessses have
hitherto remained a charmed circle
within charmed circle" In variety,
nothing is wanting, from the richness
of tropical vegetation to Alpine
SHOWS. The Japanese, as we'll as the
Europeans, have their climbing clubs,
and make much more elaborate ar
engagements for the comfort and con-
venience Of their members than the
Swiss or British clubs. They have
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
nesses the most curious of ceremon-
les. The two most sacred mountains
are the famous Fujiyama, which ap-
pears so often in the background Of
Japanese pictures, and ontake.

Rain a. a ROCK pe.troyIng Agent.

Rain is one of the most active rock
destroying agents, acting upon 1t both
chemically and mechanically. It 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 peak
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
by frost, rain, wind, and changes OF
temperature.

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-Lieutenan 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 ] ever took, was that
of an Imperial eagle-a tree-nesttng
species. This nest was in a stunted
tree, only 20 feet high, in the middle
of an almost impenetrable thicket,
which was surrounded by 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 couple
of bare-legged Spanish leech-catchers,
who beat down the reeds for him with
their poles. The gallant ColonePs
highest nest Gas compared with the
lowest, mentioned above) was that OF
a golden eagle, which took up its abode
in a dizzy crag, $500 feet above Jimena,
in Andalusia.
Asked as to the details Of his cliff
climbing outfit, Colonel Werner said:
81 take with me 1870 feet of 1-inch
Alpine rope; so feet Of 2-inch rope for
bad places; a ball of strong Irvine
with lead weight attached, for COM
municating UP or down; a nest of tin
boxes for eggs, carried in a loong
creel; field-glasses, dagger, canvas
belt Especially made for me by blue
Jacket; water-bottle and provisions;
hand camera, and set Of egg-blow-
ing instruments packed in a case"
To these may be added % foot
rope Of pure silk, weighing but a few
onuces, yet capable Of supporting two
men. This rope was given to the Col
Onel by the late Crown Prince Rudolf
OF Austria, who had used 1t himself
whilst misunderstanding in the Tyrol
One of our illustrations shows In
quite startling manner the frightful
positions in which cliff-climbers quite
commonly find themselves. This dar-
ing man is Mr. G. Kearton, Of Elstree,
Herts. 1 asked Mr.. Kearton to de-
scribe his method Of making descent,
and this is what he said; Perhaps it
would be better, first Of all, If said
a word or two about that photo. In it
/ am depicted climbing down cliff
on the south coast of Ireland. am
about fifty feet down, and the cliff was
nearly 800 feet above the sea. The
photo was taken by a naturalist friend.
Before starting on cliff-climbing
expedition" pursued Mr.. Kearton, II
first procure couple Of ropes about
the thickness Of ones thumb, and in
length from 200 feet to 300 feet. Next
a crowbar, which I fix firmly in the
ground some distance from the edge Of
the cliff. One rope (the guide rope)
is securely tied to this crowbar, and
then held by the man who is letting
me down. Attached to the end are
three loops, which are placed round
my body and under my legs to prevent
me from falling out. With the camera
slung over my back, and the guide

rope in my hand, deliberately walk
backwards over the brink of the cliff,
the rope being controlled by man
who unwinds it at given signals. On
firing my revolver, the situation of a
nest is at once revealed by the sud
den fight of the birds. AS 1 am low
cred, carefully dislodge with my feet
every loose bit of rock with my reach,
SO as to avoid a possible shower of
rubble and stones (the result of con-
tact with the rope) when below. This
is vitality important. At will, can sit
in the girth or sling. AS the sound
of ones voice is lost when at depth
down the cliff of about fifty feet. an
other man is stationed at a point where
I can see MIN; and it is through his
agency that the man at the crowbar
receives my signals. The nest to be
photographed may be found on a fair
