Two lakes covered with ice at all

NJ. Sage, of Baker City, on Sunday,
July 27, crossed two good sized lakes
n the Granite Mountains, some miles
northeast of Cornuccpia, on hard
frozen ice.
Mr. Sage, with a party cf friends,

to get through. In order to get sup
giles to their claims, two prospectors
were obliged to cut a trail through this
tangle Of fallen trees, and it was by
means Of this trail that Mr.. Sage and
his friends were enabled TO ascend the
mountains, until they finally discov-
cred the two frozen lakes referred to.
| The lakes are near the summit on the
north side of the mountain, and in or

over ice and snow for a distance of

coating of ice. clear as crystal and as

hesitate TO ride across on horseback.

standlna on the Bias.

During the trial of a street railway
damage suit in one of the circuit
branches of the supreme court Of the
District OF Columbia a few days ago
an important eyewitness of the acci-
dent took the stand in the person Of
an elderly colored man. The plaintiff
had been injured while the car was
at a street crossing, and one OF the at
torneys was endeavoring to elicit from
the witness just where the latter was
standing at the moment the plaintiff
was struck by the car.

attorney, after a number of questions
had been asked, you were standing

Ethics of t,opsnlt,t,ors

The utility of consultation has often
been questioned on the score that thew
mean ittle or nothing for the patient
The practitioner in difficult case is
supposed to need Endorsement for his
course, and he is said to obtain it in the
unquaIifiedly approving verdict of his
counsellor 1t Is further claimed that
the true ethics Of the profession admit
of no other alternative.
From the patients standpoint this
is true enough, and is as it should be
in view of the necessity Of preserving
confidence in the medical attendant.
The consultants have. on the other
hand, every opportunity to differ in
their private conference; but it Is oh.
Viously unnecessary to do so in the
presence Of the family. Any disagree
ment that may exist as to diagnosis
and treatment should be suitably adj
Justed before a cOnjoint verdict Is ren.
dered. If this course is impossible each
one concerned should give separate
opinion and allow the patient or his
friends either to choose what suits
them best, or seek other advice. Under
no circumstances should such different
views be offered until after the freest
possible interchange Of views in the
consulting rOom.-Medical Record.

Undress TITLES of Royalty.

Members Of all European royal fam
lilies delight to travel incognito when
ever they can, for it spares them a
great deal of tiresome etiquette, and
contributes to their comfort in many
ways. When Queen Victoria wished
to, be incognito she adopted her title
Of Countess of Balmoral. King Ed
ward, when he was Prince of Wales,
used the title of Earl Of Chester fire.
quently when on the Continent. The
Empress Eugene travels as the
Countess de Pierrefonds, a title chosen
from a favorite shooting lodge in the
Forest of Fontainebleau. The King of
the Belgians is Count Ravenstein when
he pays an informal visit to London or
any other capital where he wishes to
be unrecognized. The Queen Regent of
Spain, who is just now enjoying her
first real holiday out of Spain for some
years, hides her identity under the title
OF Countess of Toledo; the Queen of
Portugal, when she stays with her rela.
tives in the country, is the Marqueza
de Villacoza; and the King Of Portugal
uses the incognito title of Count de
BarcellOs.-LOndon King.

A Now Use For Pnper.

Paper gloves and stockings are now
being manufactured in Europe. AS to
the, manner in which the former are
made little is known, but the stockings
have been carefully examined by ex-
perts, and they are loud in their praise

made of paper, VIII only last few
days, for they viii really last almost
as long as ordinary stockings.
The reason, they point out. is be.
cause the paper of which they are
made was during the process OF manu-
facture transformed into substance
closely resembling wool, and was then
woven and otherwise treated as or,lj.
nary wool. The price Of these paper
stockings Is low, which is natural
since paper is much cheaper than cot.
