There are Ito mountains in Colorado
whose peaks are over $4,000 feet above
the ocean level. Forty of these are
higher than 1900 feet, and more than
half of that number are so remote
and rugged thatrno one has yet dared
to attempt to climb them. They are
as unique, as those of Switzerland, and
as fearful as the Alps in the warning
they offer to the men OF women who
are SO hardy as to defy them by start
ing upon their ascent. Some of them
are massed with snow, others, have
glaciers over their approaches, and
others are merely masses of Jagged
rocks. .-.....t .:r; -., ., g., yraJI"
Not even Coloradoans have sought as
yet to, surmount them, and the profess
sion of "guide" is. still open to who
ever may care to enter it. Railroads
reach within close enough range to
provide hotel facilities, but otherwise
the mountain climbing Of Colorado is
yet awaiting its pioneers. Did the
Coloradoans or the people of other

A Colony of Degenerate Human
freaks who I've like Benbts."|
A most revolving form of human de-
generacy Cissto be seen on Snake creek,
in the Indian nations Indian territory,
says the Cincinnati Enquirer. A small
colony of human freaks, with dirty,
whitish hair, and white, CLASSY eyes,
exc out miserable existence in the
midst Of the most filthy surroundings,
being ostracized from the companion
ship Of the other Creeks. These de-
generates are the result of frequent irl-
termarriage among class of mongre!
whites, negroes and Indians, and the
degeneracy has kept dropping down
the scale of human intelligence, until 1t
is said these people eat smokes, toad
and other reptiles. They use peculiar
jargon, many expressions resembling
the clucking Of hens and the unplensart
noises made by Be1ligerent geese. Thei.
hair is somewhat kin1sy, BUT stands out
nearly straight, giving them a very
frightful appearance. Theylive outin
the open air, except in very unpleasant
weather, when they crawl into ru,l"
caves or dugouts, reeking with filth aDl
vermin. Many Of them are afflicted
WITH 'sores, and are deforrned OF cross
eyed. They are too lazy to be mean,

and they are summed like lepers. "a

Naturally lie Was Panied.

He was on his way downtown and had
seat near the middle of the car. Next
to him was space about large enough
for the accommodation of a five-year-old
child. lie was a good-lookirg young
fellow and neatly but not gaudily
dressed. Presently the car stopped
and sweet young girl stepped aboard.
Without looking up, the gentleman re-
ferred to hunched along an inch or two
to make room for her, and she sat
down. AS she did so their glances met.
Then deathly pallor oversprcad his
features. She, however, did not seem
to be affected in the least. She merely
permitted her gaze to wander to the
signs above the windows on the oppo-
site side of the car. and, while faint
suspicion of color might have been seen
to creep into her cheeks, she appeared
to be deeply interested in the virtues
of somebody's beef extract and the Won
derful nutritive pow ers of Nippleton's
baby food. At last his lips parted, u
panied expression swept across his fea
lures and he said: "Beg your pardon
will you let me get my coat from under
your" She partially arose, and as he
gathered the skirts of his garment unto
him he knew that His worst fear had
been realized. She had sat on his lunch
and squashed it.-Cleveland Leader.

When people are sick, ailing or out of order,
they desire to take q remedy highly recon-

of that most popular national song, "The
Soldier Boy in Blue" Harry 1. Hunt, who
has appropriately dedicated his song of the
American soldier to Gen. Nelson A. Miles,
Commander of the U. S. Army. Mr.. Hunt
is manager of the newspaper Bridgeport

&C Regarding the good effects of DR.. Greenes
Neryura blood and nerve remedy, cannot say
enough. l had been working a good many
hours day and was SO run down that l felt
something should be done at once. 1 had

THE ELECTRIC QUILT.

It Enables Milady to Take Turkish Bath
in the Parlor.
You can take Turkish bath in the
parlor. With the electric quilt which
has been invented by Snedekor, the
London electrician, and member of the
Royal society, you can not only save
yourself the expense of bath ticket,
but you can battle amid all the COM
forts of home. All you have to do is
10 wrap yourself up in o quilt, turn on
stopcock and wait. And you do not
have to wait long, either. In 30 seconds
from the time the stopcock is turned.
you are sweltering in q heat of $50 de-
grees Fahrenheit without steam, with
iout visible sign of heat, and, better
than all, without inconvenience to any
one else who may happen to be in the
room.
One Of the peculiar sights that may
be seen in the parlor of a house where
the new electric quilt is kept is that of
a woman with thick Turkish quilt
around her, taking a Turkish bath,
with all the windows of the room open,
while persons standing within a foot
of her are shivering from the chilly at
mosphere outside. The owner of the
quilt may also use it as an ordinary bed
covering.
The invention is called the thermo-
gen. but it is a common quilt, all the
same. The only difference is, that, in
addition to the cotton, wool or elder
down of which it is made, there is also
a coil of wire. The coil is bent and
has many joints, so that it will move
freely and in any direction like a coat
Of mail in olden times. 1t is embedded
in the soft body of the quilt, and through
it current of electricity is permitted
to flow. 1t is this which produces the
heat, but the heat is moderated by the
layer of material that is between the
wearer and the coil wire. The heat is
distributed over the person who takes
the parlor Turkish bath with uniform
strength and from every part of the
