CLIMBING AN ICE SLOPE.
Vain and Perilous Effort to Scale
Mount Mckinley.

Mount Mckinley.
The long trail to the north brings out
the best in men and the worst, declares
Mr.. Robert Dunn in THE Shameless
Diary of an Explorer" As a member
of a party which made a vain attempt
to reach the top of Mount Mckinley
he tells something of the hardships of
one days travel:
Furtively, imperceptibly, the steep
ness had stolen a march on is. As
one line of foothoids gave u we had
to slide ~dexterously to another. The
sleeper slope was swept clear and hard.
Steps had to be cut.
We have only three ice axes. As l

Ing, all of them were gobbled UP when
we started, and l was left with only
one long willow tent pole. 1t was never
meant to balance you in half cut steps
that may or may not hold your toe.
AS the steps changed from a stair
way to a s~tepladder the other three
betrayed no excitement, no u~neasiness.
Neither did l at first, but l felt both.
Ut was not dizziness, not vertigo, but
simply that as / looked down the sheer
1900 feet from where we chung by

As hour succeeded Lour | lived each

A Lost Compliment.

An eminent singer of foreign birth
whose appetite is such that it almost
rivals the fame of his voice dined at
table where all the women were rea-
sonably mature, with the exception of
the nineteen-year-old daughter of his
host, who sat at the great mans left.
The artist paid avid attention to his
plate until the latter stages Of the re-
past, when the dishes began to come
slowly enough for him to engage in
conversation with the young person, to
whom in the Latin manner he paid
Latin compliment, assuring her in her
private ear that to him she seemed
like flower among vegetables
Then l can scarcely hope to occupy
first place in your thoughts at dinner"
she responded demurely.
And the eminent singer could not
think Of an answer-Harper's Weekly.

TOMB OF THE MINes.
Il 10 Risky Place For, a Traveller to
Wait Aiona

Il 10 \ Risky Place For Traveller to
Visit Alone.
Every traveller in China goes to the
tomb of the Mings if he stays more
than few days in Shanghai. The
Chinese consider the Mings the great
est rulers of the ancient kingdom, and
they rank second only to Confucius.
The tomb Is composed Of two colossal
figures facing each other and elabo-
rately carved In the style affected by
Chinese artists centuries ago Seen in
Central park or Versailles they would
look grotesque enough, but standing as
they do among bleak and lonely hills,
outlined against the clear blue oriental
sky, they have rude grandeur and
Imposing simplicity which make them
seem At guardians of imperial dust.
It is not an easy journey the tourist
must take If he wishes to pay his re-
spects to the stone giants, nor is it a
trip advisable for woman to under
take, as it lies through region where
hatred of the white devils is consid-
cred as much part of the Chinaman's
religion as the worship Of his ances-
tors. A donkey and guide are neces-
sary, and it Is also wise to get party
Of sightseers together for the excur-
sion If possible and to go well armed,
for once foolhardy traveller started
forth alone from the hotel on the Bub-
bling Well road, Shanghai, to visit the
tomb Of the Mings, and he was never
heard of again. There are many places
in the purlieus of Shanghai even where
it is imprudent for a white man to ven
ture alone in broad daylight. An ex-
ira donkey is also needed to carry pro-
visions as well as the cameras, for
most tourists want a picture of the
towering images which have so sue
cessfully withstood the wear of the

The Comtesse de Boigne's memoirs
contain an interesting account of the
departure from life of Louis XVIII.
an event which the king himself had
long been anticipating:
he was a great stickler for ETH
quette and gave the most minute in
structions about his obsequies. All
the ceremonials observed at the de-
parture of the kings of France were to
be respected, and as he had an ex-
haordinary memory he settled the
procedure down to the smallest details.
At the last the royal almoner made
mistake in reading the prayers for
those In extremis. Louis XVIII. inter
rupted him and corrected the mistake
with presence of mind and calmness
which never left him for a moment.
The family was assembled at the end
OF the room and was deeply affected
The doctors, the attendants on duty
and the clergy were around the bed
The first gentleman of the chamber
held the curtain When the chief
physician gave the sign that all was
over, he let it fall and, turning around,
bowed to the princes. Monsieur left
the room sobbing, and madame pre-
pared to follow him. Hitherto she had
always taken precedence of her hus-
band as the kings daughter. When
she reached the door, she suddenly
stopped, and through the heartfelt
tears with which her face was stream

Gaping THE WIGS.
Official Visit Of London's Lord Mayo,
to the Law Courts.

A curious survival Of medieval Gu
tom is witnessed in London ON every
lord mayors day. This is an official
visit of the lord mayor to the law
courts. In old times the sovereign
himself awaited at Westminster ths
coming Of the lord mayor in chariot
Of state with sword bearer, mace hold
er, chaplain and gorgeously liverfed
coachmen and fOotmen. The forms
have been changed, and the visit h
now paid to the high court, but the
spirit of the act remains, for the lord
mayor opens his term in the Mansion
House with ceremonial involving rec
ognition Of the supreme authority OF
the crown. ;...t.,is,
The instrument used for expressing
this traditional idea is an old fash
Toned cooked hat. When the lord may

tiers the high court with his retinue in
costume he solemnly lifts his cooked
hat three times from his head and ga
lutes the lord chief Justice and the,
justices. -: 80,
The judges always wear robes and
wigs when in court. For lord mayors
day they have also fat black cap,
which can be slipped over the top OF
the wig. The lord chief justice and his
associates return the lord mayors sd
lutte gravely, but do not take off their
black caps. If they were to do this,
they would place the crown on a level
of equality with the municipality.
The lord mayor, with his retinue,
then visits the judges in other courts
to invite them to the Guildhall ban
quet. When the rustling noise of the
procession is heard each judge fumbles
In drawer, pulls out a little square
Of black cloth and crowns his wig
with 1t. The lord mayor takes off his
three cornered hat three times, and the
justice on the bench bows, but remains
covered.-New York Tribune

More Oratory Wanted.

The remark made on prolix Scotch
counsel when some one observed that
he was surely wasting great deal of
time" is among the wittiest of bar an
ecdotes: Time! He has long exhaust
ed time and has encroached upon eter-
nity!'
It is seldom, to do the judges justice,
that they encourage this failing in
counsel. But in Cockburn's memoirs
we are told how dull and common
place advocate was almost frightened
out of his wits by an observation of
Lord Meadowba who thought his
style undignified: 'Declaim, sir. Why
don't you declaim? Speak to me as if
I were popular assembly"-St. James

CURES FOR LOVE.
sases and Writers With Widely Diff
fering Prescriptions.

fering Prescriptions.
Absence is one Of the means of curing
love. Two thousand years ago Ovid
advised his readers who wished tG
cure themselves OF an unlucky attach
or till the soil
Love" said Coleridge, ''is a local
anguish. l am fifty miles away and
not half so miserable
But other men have found that alb
sence increases love. La Rochefoucauld
probably hit upon the truth when hs
said that absence destroys weak pas
sions, but increases strong ones, as the
wind extinguishes a candle, but blows
up fire. If the love is all fancy and
has little strength it may be cured by
personal contact with the object. But
the safer plan perhaps is to keep out
of the way: hence travel is good ex
pedient. Business perhaps is a better
one. Ovid said, eff you desire to end
your love employ yourself and you will
conquer, for love fees business
Still another expedient is reflection
upon the unhappiness of married life
A man in search of this view can find
It everywhere. Addison said that
"beauty soon grows familiar to the
lover, fades in his eye and pals upon
the sense" and Hazlitt that, though
familiarity may not breed contempt, il
takes the edge off admiration
Goethe said, with most marriage Ii
does not take long for things to assume
very piteous look" But none of thess
men married happily. Goldsmith said
Many of the English marry in order
to have one happy month in their
lives" and Colley Cibber. "Oh, how
many tOrments lie in the small circle
OF wedding ringp'
But undoubtedly the best way to gel
rid of one love is to have another.
"All love may be expelled by love as
poisons are by other poisons," says
Dryden. Heine says: "The most effec
tive antidote to woman is woman. I'm
such case the medicine is often mora
noxious than the malady, but it is az
any rate change, and in discons
late love affair q change in the imam,
rata is unquestionably the best policy :
