LIVING AMONG THE ALPS.
Objects Of Interest to an English
Traveller Sojourning in a
Mountain Town.

All the world comes over the Wengern
Alp in Switzerland, writes Mr.. Daniel
Rhodes, in "A Pleasure Book of Grin
delwald," but only a small part of it
stops longer than a few hours, or one
night at the most. The reasons for this
are obvious after reading the letter of
a man who was once obliged to stay at
the Scheidegg for several weeks.
This is the clearest day of the sea-
son." he wrote, land there is so much
noise in and about this hotel that for
the present it is quite impossible to
work, or perhaps even to write an in
telligible letter. The little brass can
non is going off every few moments
under my window, but prefer that to
the brass band.
THE view is also distracting Every
path to hilltop or glacier is now wrig-
Cling serpent of human forms; and just
in front OF the hotel are crowds more,
OF all nationalities, taking all kinds of
fruhschoppen and lunches.
''There are green-coated Germans armed
with maps and guide books, who, before
they go down, will know the name of
every peak, pass and glacier to be seen
from the Lauberhorn top; young, stall
wart German girls with knapsacks on
backs; unkempt Englishwomen on
walking tours, tired in the eyes and
with set teeth: enormous provincial
Frenchmen with khaki knickerbockers,
baby socks and little tricolor flags; bib
ulous, musical Swiss in great numbers
most of these making much noise.
'Less noisy, perhaps, but triumphant
above all, is the American voice, level
and clear, that leaves nothing to the
imagination
Telescopes abound. To them are
tied great placards with neatly printed
'Gemsen. Chamois.'
1T costs franc to have the cannon
fired. When some noise-loving Swiss
has produced the coin the concierge
puts in the charge and then stands up
and shouts: 'Cannonenschuss! Coup
de cannon! -firing!)' while a
porter gives further emphasis to the
announcement by ringing two terrible
bells. The conclusion may only break
a window pane, or it may bring down
an avalanche from the Jungfrau. If it
Is the latter dozen voices are bawling:
Avalanche! Lawine! and out of the
restaurant come piling crowds of tour
lists, napkins in hand, to gaze at this
long-eXpected wonder. Most excited,
apparently. OF all comes the manager
OF the hotel, rushing at telescope, and
calling out: Avalanche! Avalanche!
Funfzig centimes alles!' (Ten cents
apiece.) 1t is his regular stock-in- trade
joke, and the Swiss like it, but the Ger
mans look doubtful

Nothing is more certain within the

DOUGHTY INDIAN FIGHTERS,
Heroic Defense of a Little Band Of
Soldiers Against Fierce
Attack.

DR.. Cyrus T. Brady. in his stories of
"1ndian Fights and Fighters" in Pear
sons, describes a battle at Powells cor
raj as follows:
while all these preparations were be-
Ing rapidly made without confusion or
alarm. the surrounding country was fill
ing with a countless multitude of In
diaIs. 1t was impossible at the time to
estimate the number of them, although
it was ascertained later that more than
5000 warriors were present and en-
gagged. Red Cloud, himself, was in COM
mand, and with him were the great chiefs
OF the tribes of the Sioux, who were all
represented -Unkpapas, Miniconjous,
Oglalas, Brules and Sans Arcs, besides
hundreds of Cheyennes.
$50 confident of success were they.
that, contrary to their ordinary prac-
tice, they had brought with them their
women and children to assist in carry
ing back the plumber! These, massed
out of range on the farthest hills, con-
stituted an audience for the terrible
drama about to be played in the amphi-
theater beneath them.
1--WE can we'll imagine the thoughts of
that little band of 80, surrounded by a
force that outnumbered them one hun
dred to one Their minds must have
gone back to that winter day, some seven
months before, when twice their num-
Der had gone down to defeat and de-
struction under the attack of two-thirds
of their present foemen. 1t is probable
that not one of them ever expected to
escape alive. The chances that they
could successfully withstand an attack
from such an overwhelming number of
foes Of most extraordinary bravery were
of the smallest. But not man f1inched,
not man faltered. They looked to their
weapons, settled themselves comfort
ably in the wagon beds, thought of Fet-
terman and their comrades, and prayed
that the attack might begin, and begin
''Such was the courage and desperation
of these Indians, that, in spite of repulse
after repulse, and slaughter awful to con-
template, they made no less than six
several and distinct charges in three
hours upon that devoted band After the
first attack made by the men on horse
back, not single casualty occurred
among the defenders of the corral. It
was afternoon before the Indians got
enough"

PURE BLOOD.
Blood impurities of Springtime-
Cause, Prevention
and Cure.

DR.. Hartman's medical lectures are
eagerly scanned by many thousand
readers.
One of the most timely and interesting
lectures he ever delivered was hisrecent
lecture on the blood Impurities of spring.
The doctor said in substance that every
spring the blood is loaded with the
effete accumulations of win ter, derang-
ing the digestion, producing sluggish
ness of the. liver, overtaxing the kid
neys, interfering with the action of the
bowels and the proper circulation of the
blood.
This condition of things produces
what is popularity known as spring
fever, spring malaria, nervous exhaus-
ton, that tired feeling, blood thicken-
ing and many other names.
Sometimes the victim is bilious, dys-
peptic and constipated; sometimes he is

BECAUSE.

oh, Vernis, charming vernis,
Dear, because your heart is true,
just because you laugh and giggle.
And you dance the wait you do;
Just because no thought of fashion
Worries you or makes you sad,
And you care no whit for gossip,
Just to know you dear, is glad.
Fashion has no claim upon you,
And you bow not down to style;
And most things your sex SO longs fol
You do hold worth little while;
And there's sunshine in your presence,
And there's sorrow whentwe part,
And your laughter, sweetest music,
Warns the cookies Of the heart.
You are sweet and unaffected,
You are bonny, dear, and true:
You are careless as to fashion,
Laughter comes so quick to you,
You are full Of lifting pleasure,
Full of JOY as you can hold,
Cause you don't know any better,
Cause you're only three years old.
