SUMMIT OF MONT BLANC.
The Ownership Thereof II Being Con.
tested BY Three Swiss Muni-
cipalities.

Mont Blanc is just now the center Of a
discussion which is being variously
treated with seriousness and humor by
the European press. The question Is
this: Who is the owner of the top of
Mont Blanc? No single or isolated in
dividual of eccentric propens;ties has
made a claim to the summit. TIE affair
is much more complicated. Three ma
inequalities, Chamounix. Les Houchcs
and St. Gervais, have claimed tie sum-
nit, and have appealed to the Swiss gov
eminent to answer the question. It IS
not a point of honor, or the prestige of
having monopoly ofavalanches. but
mere matter of business. For The las:
five years Mont Blanc has been il ever
Increasing favor with tourists. and vari-
GUS spots situated at different attitudes
have been let out by one or another Of
the three municipalities in question to
enterprising projectors. Recently i:
was found that Chamounix had let more
mountain land than the other two
towns, and hot dispute arose o< to her
right to do SO. The great map of 1870
offers no relief to the contesting parties,
because this chart only gives the d.
vision of properties on the lower o.
woody portions of the mountain. The
Geneva press. referring to the dispute
IL: humorous way, says that It is the
first time in history that municipality
has adopted a national scheme of claim
ing "a sphere of influence" But seri-
Gus persons consider that the problem
IL really a knotty one.

The Old Man and Jim
BY GERTRUDE NORTON.
Reprinted

An my old heart beat so glad
Jim would teck care Nv his dad.
Stayed with him five years er more
Pottered some around his store
Didn't hat ter work, We see,
Jim war teckin' care Nv me-
Made my old heart beat so glad
Gave him every cent I had.
After that fer a good spell
Jim he prospered pretty we'll,
But the panic came On then,
Dustin up the richest men
North an south, an east an west
Jim was busted with the rest
Clean broke up, an broke his dad
Every cent the old man had.
But laid no blame on him,
Had no fault ter find with Jim
Didn't fret; l knowed that he
Would allus teck good care NV me.

A DIMINUIIVE REVOLVER.
It In Only One Inch and q Half Long
Yet 1t Shoots With Great
Accuracy.

Perhaps the smallest revolver ever
known has been discovered in Germany.
1t is 1Hinches long and is made of
steel, gold-plated. The handle is made
Of pearl. The hammer and trigger
work exactly as in a regular revolver.
and the cylinder holds seven cartridges.
Each cartridge is so small that to load
the revolver a hammer and pair OF
pincers are used. These are attached to
the handle by ring. The cartridge is
picked up with the pin GERS. inserted in
to the chamber and rammed into place.
The cartridges are charged with full
minite, and the ball is about the size
of No. 8 shot. When the trigger is
pulled and the hammer strikes the car
fridge there is an explosion about as
loud as when gun cap is snapped.
This little revolver shoots accurate
ly, but it is so small that one cannot
handle it SO that it ray be aimed ex-
actly. The ball has force enough to go
through heavy cardboard. The hole
where it enters is very small, but it has
tearing capacity when it comes out.
The revolver was bought by Mr.. c. J.
Schneider. who tested its shooting
powers in his Office one day. He placed
card on his desk and fired. There
was a little scream from the stenog-
rapher on the other side of the room,
who was rubbing her neck and insisted
that something had stung her. The
ball had gone through the cardboard.
struck the lock of the desk, glanced off
across the room and hit the young
woman.

SMALLPOX DISTRIBUTORS

How the Germs Are Nurtured and the
Disease Is Spread.
It would seem that people will never
learn to be careful. The recent alarm
ing spread of that dire epidemic,
smallpox, throughout different Sec
tions of the country has been traced
by physicians and sanitarians in many
instances directly to the moldy and
rotting layers of paper and paste
which cover the walls of many houses.
The practice of laying layer after
layer OF paper on a wall, using COM
mon flour paste, is especially calcu-
lated to create homes for disease
germs. People could not do more to
effect such result if they tried. Tho
rotting vegetable matter affords caves
from which are ready to dart forth
the infection at every opportunity.
There is no excuse for this practice,
as walls and ceilings can be coated
with a pure, clearly and sanitary ma
terial like Alabastine, for instance, at
no greater expense. Alabastine is q
rock-base cement, which Incorporates
itself with the wall or ceiling. It is
easily applied. comes ready to mix
with cold water. requires no washing
or scraping, before renewing or re-
tinting, is beautiful, long-lasting and
safe.
For walls that have been infected,
is equal to Alabastine as a /
to render them pure and
clean and the rooms once more hab- |
table.

Hamburg is rapidly becoming the
largest port in the world. Within one
period of five years she doubled her
feet of steamers. A German liner, the

of all is the progress of German ship

So went back home once more
Ter the old farm, sad an pore.
Diggin's had all played out now,
Farm most ruined, but somehow
I jist loved the old place yit,
An guessed I'dstick ter it
Liked it better than the town,
So 1 kinder settled down
On the wore-out farm once more
Uease run out the day before),
When the news was brought ter me
That the minin' company
Had struck another run NV lead,
Richer than the first, they sed.
Gave me thirty thousand more
Uease jist like the one before)-
Couldn't help it eff died
Jist set down right thar an cried.
When they planked my money down,
Thought Nv Jim thar in the town
Jim a-toilin' in the store,
Awful hard an awful pore,
An it made my eyes grow dim
Jist ter set an think NV him.
Well, I writ him yesterday,
An he's comm right away
Comm with his wife, SEE he,
Ter live on the old farm with me.
Well, I amt much ter philosophize,
I reckon it amt my way.
But, teckin' the matter as it lies,
I'm sorter constrained ter say:
That reckon it's better fer me.
An good deal better fer Jim,
Fer him ter quit teckin' care NV me.
An let me teck care NV him.

Well, T put my clothes away,

So didn't go ter town,
But jist sorter settled down
On the old farm, glad that it
Hadn't gone back on me yit.
Well, one day some chaps came down
Brought steam drill out from town
Popped n hole down fer Judge Race,
Not quarter from my place;
Struck the richest vein NV lead

So guessed 'twould do no harm
Ter pop one down on my old farm.
Well. they struck it rich as gold
Gave me twenty thousand cold
Fer a fve-years' lease; an then
