DIRECTIONS
How to Climb SnowJCapped.
Mountain Given in
Circular.

WASHINGTON, June 2S.-FuH di-
rections regarding the best method
of climbing Mount Rainier, which is
surrounded by one of the largest
glacial systems in the United States
radiating from any single peak, are
given in circular entitled General
Information Regarding Mount Ran
Ter National Park" just issued by the
Department of the Interior.
Mount. Rainier National Park is
situated in western Washington about
Sill miles southeast of the city Of
Tacoma. 1t has an area of 2O7,36O
acres and includes Mount Rainier and
all its approaches. Surrounding the
mountain are beautiful forests of fir
and cedar and in the natural parks
below the snow line are hxurlant
fields of wild flowers OF all colors
and descriptions The park is under
the central and supervision of the
Secretary of the Interior, who is rep
resented in the actual administrations
of the park by the superintendent
assisted by number of park rang
ers who patrol the reservation.
Between and below the glaciers
are numerous open slopes and val
leys which are covered with Iuxur-
liant growths of grasses, sedge, and
plants. These parks are
diversified by growths OF alpine fir
and hemlock and by many small
lakes and running streams. They
present pleasing contrast to the
snow fields and rugged peaks by
which they the surrounded, and are
greatly admired by visitors. Para
disc Valley is the most freQuented
of the many parks. The government
road running through this park and
for some distance beyond the Camp
OF the Clouds makes it easily acces-
sible for tourists. Near Paradise
Valley and at the teadwaters of Ia
hcma Fork is Indian Henry's Hunt
Ing Ground, so named from the cir
cumstance that it was formerly the
favorite resort OF small band of
Klicititat Indians. Grand Park, be-
tween the main and west forks of
White River, is one of the largest
and most beautiful Of these open
tracts. At the altitude of 5000 feet
1t is an almost level grassy plateau.
the greater pratt of which is entirely
without timber Moraine park. be-
tween the sluiskin Range and the
Carbon Glacier, is small and very
attractive mountain valley.
This publication, which is distribu-
ted free by the Department of the
Interior, contains information re-
gardlng the hotels and camps, tables
showing the distances to the prin-
eipal points of interest, lists of books
and magazine articles, and the rules
and regulations promulgated for the
government Of the reservation.

Cloth for English officers OF stats.

An ancient custom still practiced In
London is the inspection and selection
by the court of aldermen of the cloth
annually sent to the great officers
of state and other dignitaries. Each
one of large number of officials is
entitled to four and one-half yards of
best black cloth. The origin of the
custom Is thus explained: In the
early periods of English history the
retainers Of great lords wearing their
liyeries were so numerous as to be
dangerous both to the king and the
laws. The disorders arising from
them required all the vigor of the
crown and the legislature to restrain.
Many statutes between the years 1877
and 1904 were passed for that pur.
pose. An exception was introduced
into the prohibition In favor of guilds
and fraternities and "men of the Mis-.
teries" Of cities and boroughs. This
probably gave rise to the '1iverymen'
OF the several companies and to the
Gift OF livery CLOTH

The method hitherto generally In
use of taking water temperatures on
transatlantic liners to guard against
the approach of icebergs has been to
dip water up out of the sea and take
it's temperature as quickly as possible.
By this method continuous measure
,ments cannot be taken, but micro
thermometer has now been invented
by a professor of McGill university,
which, with an instrument similar In
action to the oscillograph attached,
records the slightest changes In tenn
perature by drawing a continuous
curve. The thermometer indicates ex-
ceedingly fine differences In tempera-
ture by means of the variations in the
resistance of coil of wire, these va
riations serving to indicate the
changes of temperature of the medium
in which the instrument is immersed.
The coil consists of $50 feet Of pure
iron, silk-covered wire, wound on a
copper cylinder. If an iceberg Is
large it may be detected many miles
away by the GOODNESS 1t causes in the
water.

IRONING THE TABLE NAPKINS
Points Worthy Of Remembrance Tha,
Viii Conserve the Life of the
Article.

Fold them double, selvage to selvage,
perfectly even, and mangle several at
one time, then let them lie rolled up
In towel for some time before iron
ing. To iron them, take one at a time,
shake out and stretch evenly, lay out
very smoothly on the table with the
right side uppermost and as square as
possible.
Iron the right side first, then the
wrong, and back again on the right.
Be careful not to stretch the edges
out of shape, and iron until quite dry.
They are ironed on both sides to
avoid having one side rough and the
other smooth, as sometimes happens.
Give the hens an extra iron to dry
them well.
Table napkins can be folded either
in three or in four, according to taste.
To fold in four, fold in the same way
as tablecloth, only on the opposite
side, bringing the right side outside
instead Of the wrong. Get the ends
very even, press the folds we'll with
an iron, and fold in four across max.
ing square again. Air we'll before
laying them away.
To fold In three, measure the sides
(hems) first, and get them divided
into three equal parts, press them
down with an iron to keep them in
place, then make the folds right
across and iron them down. and press
with the iron once more.
II there Is name, 1t must be on
the outside when the table napkin Is
folded; If monogram or raised mi
tails, iron we'll on the wrong side to
make the embroidery stand out.

Uses of Hot-Water Bottle.

wonder how many know the many
uses of hot-water bottles. Nearly ev
cry one uses 1t filled with hot water
in cases Of neuralgia, toothache OF
pains in any part of body, or filled
with crushed ice to lay on head il
cases of brain trouble. One way
have found 1t useful is to fill with hot
water and set my bread on 1t to rise
on a cold night or in the day time in
cold weather. Still another is to
make cover to fit 1t with a pocket
on each side large enough to hold a
nursing bottle, put bottle of milk In
pocket and fill hot water bottle with
hot water. It will keep the milk warm
for baby and save the trouble of get
ting up to warm milk on cold night.

NEGRO KNEW NOTED MEN
Veteran Porter, Who Died Recently.
Served on Private Car of Sew
eral Presidents.

The death of David Hazelton. the
veteran porter in the office of the
president of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad in Baltimore, removes a IA
miliar figure from the ranks of the
old school of Maryland servants. Per-
haps no other negro In this country
was acquainted With SO many promi-
nent MEN of affairs, says the Railroad
Mans Magazine.
David, who was over seventy, was a
native Baltimorean. While a boy he
witnessed the Baltimore riot on April
10, 1861, and was ever fond of telling
of the encounter with the Massachu-
sets soldiers.
He entered the service OF the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad in 1874 as a
walter at the Relay house, few miles
from Baltimore. Dining cars were not
then known on American railroads.
He continued in this position for
more than year. Later he became
head waiter at the Deer Park hotel
when the Baltimore & Ohio opened
1t in western Maryland. 1t was Presi-
dent John w. Garrett who about 1875
chose him as private car porter. For
more than thirty years he remained
In charge of the official cars of the
Baltimore & Ohio's presidents.
During that time David crossed the
continent hundreds of times in charge
of special parties and with officials OF
the railroad. He has ridden over prac-
tically every mile of railroad track In
North America from the Isthmus OF
Panama to the northernmost lines OF
Canada. He was six feet tall and
made striking appearance in his uni.
form Of royal blue trimmed in gold
and cap slightly tilted.
On trip with party In which
Commodore Vanderbilt was guest
David's dinner was pronounced by the
commodore the best meal he had ever
eaten. David had charge of presiden.
tial parties from General Grant down
to Mckinley and Roosevelt. General
Grant was numbered as one of his ia.
vorite guests. President Cleveland
also frequently travelled with David
When he started on his honeymoon he
made special request that David be
placed in charge of his car.
David retired few years ago and
became a messenger in the office OF
the Baltimore & Ohio's president. Wis
itors will recall David occupying q
place just outside the suite of the chief
executive of the road, his hat slightly
tilted and humming a tune popular In
Dixie.
