Washington is. next TO New York.
the most expensive American city in
which TO live. Rents. fuel. groceries.
meats and clothing are all high. The
ordinary government clerk OF family
has TO live not only on an economic
basis but on one OF actual niggardli-
ness. barren Of comforts and far re-
moved from the semblance OF luxury.
For him to live within his income
is scarcely possible. At best there is
left no margin for insurance. for
medical attention or for the savings
bank. For him to buy home would
be as likely as for him to buy the
capitol. Yet. habituated to round OF
duties. he clings to his place. for he
Is out OF touch with ether opportuni-
ties and knows that were he TO re-
tire a score would scramble for the
vacancy.-New York Times.

The Hon. John ID. Long Of Massa-

experience he had when he was gov.

The stan put on their most gorgeous
uniforms. There were quite a mum.

When the party reached the theater
entrance they found SO many people
there that somebody suggested they
should go around and enter by the
stage door.
They encountered stolld stage

for years. and was used TO the wiles

The doorkeeper looked the governor

Then he waved his hand at the
gaudy stan and announced: The band

EFFECTS OF ALTITUDE ON THE

Former Encredulity Regarding At t&inmeut of Great Heights Dis pelled by Feats of Noun

Three years ago one of the leading nouutaneers of Europe expressed tbe opinion that the limits of high ascants had about been reached He did not believe the human animal could stand up and work in the increasing rarefaC- ton ot the air above an elevation of 33.000 feet He had no idea that man would ever stand on the summit of Mount Everest the culminating point Df the earth 29.000 feet above sea ievel

 The incre3uiity freely expressed ten or fifteen years ago as to the po5sbiI- ity 0f attaj@ia2 such attitudes Is now quite out )f date. The British expedl. ton that crossed the Himalayas to Lhasa year ago proved that men may climb, carry loads on their backs and even fight at an altitude of 20.000 feet: and Col. Waddell says in his book that the Thibatans. fleeing before the ad- Vancing army. crossed snow fields at an elevation of @ eco feet When men carry on military campaign at heights nearly as great as balloons have attained MT FreshtieId and other famous climbers who assert that the topm0st pinnacle of the earth will yet be conquered have new evidence fayorlng their contention.
 There is no longer any doubt that existence may be maintained at height greater than that of Mount Everest It Is believed that Coxwell and Glai5her, in their most famous balloon ascent, reached an elevation of about 30,000 feet. though they claimed an altitude of 37.000 feet. Paul Bert submitted himself in Paris to very low atmospheric pressures during a period of 99 minutes, and for several minutes he breathed under s' pressure about the same as that which would be experienced on the top of Everest There is danger undOubted ly in the rapid ascents which aeronuats
