Complete Alpinlst.

The young millionaire had climbed in August the Jungfrau, Monck and Eiger.
 "It Is more dangerous work than motoring" he said, and, dear me, how the climber is loaded down. He resembles a peddler more than any thing else.
 He carries wood to make fire with. He carries nails for his boots. He carries lamp. He also has an ax wherewith to cut steps for himself in perpendicular ice-walls, and he has a cord wherewith to rope himself to his companions, and he has a staff to help him up and down steeps.
 Tn the sack on his back there are all sorts of things-tubes of concen- trated soup, tea, coffee, pins, brandy. meat extract, smoked glasses.
 And dangling between his shoul. ders is a pair of snowshoes without which, in the hot August sun, he would sink in the soft snow quite up to his knees at every step."

Bachelors.

Bachelors are cultivated in all large cities. They live in bachelor apart ments and bungalows. They can be seen during the day in counting houses and on golf links, and in the evening at dinner parties and poker games.
 Bachelors at one time were easily caught with almost any kind of bait and swallowed, bait, hook, sinker and all, often at the first throw. Now how ever. they are becoming much more wary, and hide in the depths of their bachelor apartments or in deep pool 'ooms from which they cannot be .ured.
 They are gregariohs in their habits. 'unning in schools, but they stand by each other, and it Is very unusual to ind solitary one. Occasionally, how ever, more foolish and overconf1dent specimen will poke his nose into a summer resort, when he Is promptly landed.
 Bachelors are in reality the bulwark of the nation. By not getting married they do not raise families. Families, as we know. are constantly consum- Ing our natural resources. Bachelors are, therefore, really providing more natural resources for the few. Their conduct, it will be seen, is thus quite unselfish.-Life.
