A PERILoUs PAsTIME.
Nine. Brassard is a Hardy Woman,
Who Does Not Know Fear.

Who Does Not Know Fear.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
Nine. Brassard, a French woman who
keeps a small corner shop at Lyons, lays
claim to being the most noted Alpinist OF
the fair sex in Europe. This poor woman,
who gains her living by following the
French Alpine troops during their maneu-
vers in the Alps in order to sell her cocoa,
has accomplished during these marches
some remarkable Alpine feats.
This year she joined the 9eth Battalion,
and marched with them into Savoy, after
which she exchanged to the 9th, which she
followed in all its marches. In space OF
a few days this extraordinary woman
climbed the Mont Jovet (2.5OO meters),
crossed the Col de la Vanoise, which was
covered with two feet of snow at the time,
assembled Mont Frod (2,sO0 meters). one Of
the most dangerous mountains in the
French Alps; accompanied the soldiers to
the summit of Mont Gents e, 200 meters),
and finally reached the top Of the Frejus
e. 700 meters), where she quilted the 9th
Regiment to join the grand maneuvers in
Savoy. During her travels Nine. Brassard
constantly carried q basket containing
nearly thirty pounds Of cocoa and her pro-
visions, wore ordinary shoes without nails,
and was armed with an ordinary walking
stick Many soldiers "fell OUT with IA
tigue during these difficult marches; not so
Nine Brassard, who finished up by walk
ing among the soldiers another hour or two
in order to sell her cocoa. paltry $50
francs represented the profit at the end of
the maneuvers.

"NAME THIS CHILD
Queer Things Which Happen at Lon
don Christenings.

From the London Telegraph.
From a Gainsborough clergyman comes
the plea for the exercise Of common sense
by parents when naming their children.
He protests against entering children for
the race Of life handicapped by bearing a
name which may expose them to ridicule.
Undoubtedly there Is mucn cause for the
appeal though it may be thought to come
strangely from a clergyman when one re-
calls that many curiosties Of nomenclature
have been drawn from the Scriptures. For
besides the bearers of the sensible If plain
names of Peter, Paul, Luke, Matthew and
the like, and the corresponding multitude
of Ruths, Marys and Rebeccas, there have
been goodly number who answered to but
did not rejoice In quaint names gathered
from the tables of genealogy of the Old
Testament Scriptural names, however, are
not now so common as they used to be; in
fact, it Is to be feared that modern mothers
are more prone to select hgh-sounding
names from novels than appellations from
the Bible But the clergyman's protest Is
rather directed against the growing in
cIination to- give children pet names The
doting mother may think 1t pretty to call
her child Kit or Popsie, but a grown man
or woman hardly cares to sign them pub
licly.
Some curious reasons have been elected
in the endeavor to find out how and why
children have come by unusual names. Ga
Drlel and Rutn were DaD!eS or deVout- cOOlle
parents. me call him Gabriel cause oh de
great white angel who STAN at de doh an
might look after him III namesake," saiu
the mother, who hoped for heaven" for
her son, and she called her little girl Ruth
because they wished that the story of the
real Ruth might lead her to self-sacrifice
These parents carried the practice Of sa-
lecting biblical names to extremes. for their
dog was yclept Moreover. after the animal
of whom it is written, Moreover. the dog
licked Lazarus sores"
There is not much piety, however, In the
ordinary circumstances that determine
baby's name. Eastward, in the direction of
Shoreditch, Whitechapel and Stepney. where
babies are plentiful and sometimes not
much regarded, it frequently happens that
parents bring their offspring to be chris
tened without having determined upon the
name 1t shall bear. Then the services Of
the clergyman are requisitioned and. as a
rule, another John or Mary is added to the
register. Most Johns and Marys are John
and Mary because their parents were SO
named before them, but when all the names
of father and mother and uncles and aunts
are exhausted, and still there are babies
unnamed, distracted parents resort to Ern-
estina. Hyacinth. Beryl Agamemnon. Gar

Readers of the magazines are doubtless
familiar with Mr.. Dugmore's remarkable
photographs of nature, and have been led
to admire the patience which he must have
shown in approaching and gaining the con-
fdence Of his feathered and furry subjects.
In this book, which is in itself an artistic
production, he tells some of his secrets.
which. after all. are not secrets, for they
are common sense facts, which, to produce
the results the author has secured, must
be coupled with artistic taste and photo
graphic skill. Throughout his work a deep
sense of duty to the birds and beasts and
flowers, and even the reptiles appears. Mr..
Dugmore does not believe in destruction in
any form. He advises those who would
follow in his footsteps to treat every birds
nest reverently, to tie back rather than to
break or cut away twigs interfering with
the work Of the camera, and, above all.
not to remove the nest from it's place. Only
In the most exceptional cases does he per-
NIT himself to interfere in the least degree
with the work of the parent BIRDS and
then always In the hope that they will not
be discouraged in their home making This
book, therefore, teaches far more than how
to photograph nature. 1t teaches that more
valuable lesson of respecting nature in all
her works and ways
MY DOGS IN THE NORTHDAND, By Edcerfon r
Young, author Of 'On the Indian Trail etc
Illustrated. New York: Fleming H. Reyell
Company
DR.. Young has spent much time in Brit
ish Columbia as missionary among the In
dams of that region, and has had occasion
therefore to utilize the crude but effective
methods of transportation there in vogue.
This has brought him an acquaintance with
the dogs OF the northland, and in this bool,
he tells of them, of their hardihood their
devotion, their quarrelS and characters In
cidentally he gives some account of the In
dams and their ways of living in the frozen
lands. But it is in the dogs that the in
terest centers, and the reader comes to feel
a personal fondness for Jack and Cuffy
Voyageur, Rover and Kimo Muff, Caesar
and Koona These animals and their kind
ly master have adventures both serious
and comical, as they pass to and fro on
the frozen trails on the mission of enlight-
eminent.

100000 confessed to OVerreaching Uncle
Sam and reimbursed him. They turned
in $500. 1t was regarded as a light re-
morse business. The banner contribu-
ton came from London through Con-
sul-General Patrick Collins in March,
1896. A clergyman in the Presbytery of
st. Paul, who was acting for a parish
Toner, placed the sum of $14.25515 in
his hands, for transmission to the
United States government. No explain
alton was vouchsafed. In the Treasury
department at Washington speculation
was rife for a time about the true in
WardneSS of this contribution An
opinion advanced was that some pecu-
lating customs officer had got religion
1t was also conjectured that the sum
represented duties evaded by an i'm
porter who no longer needed the money
in his business. The next largest con-
tribution was $4,000 in notes of large
denominations which came from New
York in 1891, the source being equally
mysterious. Occasionally a name that
appears to be genuine accompanies the
amount. But the Treasury Depart
ment's receipt usually comes back I'M
delivered. Unless the remittances are
trihing they are always Acknowledged
in the newspapers. This rule of the de-
partment is, no doubt, a soace to the
penitent. Humorists sometimes try
their wit on the government with in
ventions that are too transparent to
get into print. Cranks indite letters
more remarkable for length than point,
but no crank has sent the government
welcome addition to the fund. The
large sums come from persons who un-
mlStakably have suffered from remorSe
and whether fearful that life is draw
ing to close, or religious conviction
has reclaimed them, they cannot feel
relief or know a tranquil mind until
their accounts with the government are
squared. 1t has been said that if re-
vival meetings could be held all over
the United States simultaneously the
Conscience Fund would jump like a
cornered stock on the Exchange"
Sometimes the remorse of those
who have cheated the United States
is i'm inverse ratio to the sum of the
fraud. President Cleveland once re-
ceived letter from a child that must
have moved him deeply, for, doubtless,
1t was laid before him as a curiosity.
Dear President it ran. L am in

stamps, and please forgive me, for
was then but IL years old and am
heartily sorry for what l have done
THE treasury department does not
know whether this letter was written
by a boy or girl, but the internal evil
dence of expression assures us it was
girl. Imagine a boy being in
dreadful state of mind about fooling
Uncle Sam with a couple of cancelled
stamps The urchin might regret he
had Wronged his country and make
amends, but the crime would not OPP
press his mind and rack his conscience
with intolerable torments. Surely She
culprit was a girl. How she must have
tossed on her bed in the blackness of
the long, silent nights and gone about
her daylight tasks with the feeling of
Il moral leper! Big, strong men at the
same time were acting on the Haytian
principle that it is not a crime to rob
the government. This the President
knew, and that is why he had a lump
in his throat when he read the con-
fession of the little girl. 1t is the
most pathetic of all the letters on file
in the Treasury Department that have
accompanied contributions to the con-
science fund"
