Around Mt. Rainier

ibis mountain is the grandest in the
United states. It is more than $4,000
feet high, is covered with ice and snow,
has beautiful parks and noble forests
at it's base, and is much frequented by
camping parties, tourists and noun
tain climbers.
Some years ago the Northern Pacific
fitted out a party that assembled the
mountain to its highest point. An
article in Wonderland 9S describes
some experiences of the party in camp

popular, especially to those who make

A New Railway in Montana,

The completion of the Northern Pa
cifc Ry., from White Hall, Mont, to
Twin Bridges, Mont, a distance of
twenty six miles, opens up to both the
miner and farmer the limitless re-
sources of the famous jefferson Valley,
rich both in the quantity and quality
of its mineral deposits and in the fer
tility of its soil which for farming is
equal to any in Montana. The three
rivers which enter the valley separate
ly but unite before going very far, fur
nish an abundance of pure water for
all the present and future needs of the
valley.
Twin Bridges is situated in the north
western corner of Madison county at
the head of the beautiful jefferson
Valley. On either hand are mountain
ranges stretching away in the distance;
here the contentment and freedom of
the farmers life is contrasted with the
business activity of the miners yoca-
ton; to the right the eye beholdsherds
of cattle and horses grazing on grass
covered hills while here and there the
miner is hard at work extracting from
the earth its precious metals.
just at present the mining industry
is most prominent gold being the
principal metal taken from the ground,
but with the Northern Pacific COM
pleted and in operation to Twin Bridg-
es, the farmer and miner alike will
prosper beyond anything heretofore
possible.
To the owners of mines the railway
will be of inestimable value andthe in
flux of capital and consequent intro
duction of cheaper and more modern
mining methods, will be a Godsend to
numberles miners who have hundreds
of tons of low grade ore that could not
before be handled with profit owing to
the expense of hanling to the railway
by wagon.
AS a place of residence this valley
has found favor with many of Mon.
tana's prominent people and the num-
Der of pretty little towns with their
comfortable homes, scattered here and
there, bear evidence of its popularity.

The Early Umbrella.

We may infer from the following an.
n~ouncement, copied from The Female
Taller Of Dec. 12, 1909, that the UNI
brella at this period was regarded as
too efeminate for the use of a man:
''The young gentleman borrowing the
umbrella belonging to Wills coffee
house, Cornhill, of the mistress, is here
by advertised, that to be dry from head
to foot on the like occasion he shall be
welcome to the maids pattens." About
this time it was customary to keep an
umbrella in the halls Of larger houses
for use i'll rainy weather, for shelter in
proceeding from tho house to a covered
conveyance, and doubtless the one al
luded to i'll the advertisement above
quoted was for that purpose.

How an Actress and Doctor Were Fooling
Each Other.
In French theaters the doctor Of the
theater has seat given him for every
performance. He must be there every
evening. Naturally, after he has seen
the same piece score of times he longs
to be elsewhere and prefers to give his
seat to some of his friends M. Ernest
Blum says that when he was young
man friend, the doctor of the Theatre
Porte st. Martin, gave him his seat.
Just as he was becoming interested in
the first act the stage manager rushed
up-the heroine had nervous attack
and required medical aid Blum had
nothing else to do but to follow him.
In the lady's dressing room he found
the manager with anguish depicted on
every feature and the lady wringing
her hands and shrieking
"Now, doctor, quickl What's to be
dcne?''
Blum grew as red as lobster, and
as he could not say anything he just
calculated: "Hml Let US seel Let us
see. 4"
He took the lady's hand in wild at
tempt to feel her pulse. She shrieked
more than ever and writhed like a
snake
"Have you poured any water on her
head?'' he asked.
"Yes.''
"And no effect?''
"None.
''Then don It pour any more"
After this display of medical knowl-
edge he continued:
"Give her sniff of eau de cologne.
Haven't any," was the answer
"Then go fetch some. y
Off rushed the manager and the stags
manager, and Blum was left with his
patient.
Suddenly she opened her eyes and
smiled.

fellow, aren't you?''
"Yes, ma 'inselle. "
"You must be, doctor. Now listen

By this time the manager and stage
manager came back, each with bottle
of eau de cologne. He told them that it
was unnecessary now. The lady was
quite composed and could appear with
out any danger. But she must have a
few days rest. They made wry faces,
but granted the holiday.

DEEP DOWN.

We may move along the pathway of life
enjoying what seems to us a fair amount of
good health, but there comes over every
human being at some time some unexpect-
ed condition of the system which may be
torture for after years. Such is an insinua-
ting and unexpected attack of Sciatica re-
sultlng from weakness of the nervous sys-
TEN, which can give more pain to the square
inch than any pain that affiicts mankind.
1t has been found out, however, that the
prompt and vigorous application of st.
Jacobs Oil to the seat of the pain will, by
persistent rubbing, finally penetrate and
cure by soothing and strengthening the
diseased nerve. 1t is a pain that needs to
be watched.
The Sciatic nerve plays so important
part thatits arrangement may cripple. Be-
ware of its putting you on crutches, for it
may keep you there for many day, while

Biggest Dor in the World.

Tige is the largest dog in the world.
His anne Is a suitable one, for he is
as large as full-sized tiger and con-
siderably larger than a lion.
This monster dog is an English mas
tiff by race, and belongs to Sam Geno,
of Rutland, VT, who affirms that he is
able as he is big.
Tige's measurements are as follows:
Length, feet 5 incnes; waist, 4S
inches; neck, 20 inches; height, 80
inches. He stands eight inches higher
than dining-room table.
Mr.. Geno has taught his dog to box,
and he is anxious to match him to fight
five rounds with any pugilist on earth.
Mr.. Geno would like very much to have
Tige meet Bob Fitzsimmons, and ne
dog is thoroughly in accord with him.
Tige will undertake not to bite,
scratch with his hind legs or to at
tack his human opponent otherwise
than with his fore paws encased in
gloves. He is understood to be thor
oughly reliable and sportsmanlikc dog.
The giant dog is handsome animal.
He has the black and wrinkled muz-
zle, dew lap, deep chest, narrow hind
quarters and all the other characteris-
tics OF the well-bred mastiff.
1t Is curious and pleasing spec
tacle to see the enormous beast, who
Is large enough to eat man, playing
with small child. He allows the chill
dren to pull his ears, to hang on by
his tail and to walk on him, and ap-
pears to be highly pleased by the per-
.ormance.
The mastiff is the most ancient of
all watch dogs, and Tige knows his
hereditary business. Who would care
to break into house guarded by him?
