PICTURESQUE ICE FIELDS.
Scenic Beauties of Uncle Sans Glacier
National Park.

Scenic Beauties of Uncle Sans Glacier
National Park.
That the ice fields OF Glacier Nation
al park present some OF the best ex-
amples of active glaciers now found In
the United States, is statement made
by w. c. Alden in q government pam
phlet. "They have n splendid setting
in magnificent alpine scenery" says
Mr.. Alden, unsurpassed In grandeur
anywhere. Hidden away In the reces-
SEES of the mighty mountain ranges,
these rare and wonderful features form
a climax to many of the interesting
trips open to the tourist.
There are in the park about ninety
small glaciers, ranging In size from
Blackfeet glacier. with its three square
miles of ice. down TO masses but few
acres In extent, yet exhibiting the char-
acteristics of true glaciers.
after examining these features one
can easily picture to himself as he
looks down the valleys the great rivers
of ice which In ages past cascaded
from the cliffs below the upper cirques,
conyerged as tributaries from the many
branch valleys and united In great
trunk glaciers. In imagination he can
see these great glaciers, many hun
dreds of feet in depth, filing the great
mountain valleys from side to side and
deploying thence upon the bordering
plains. He seems to see these mighty
engines plucking away the rock ribs or
the mountains, smoothing, grinding
and polishing the Irregularities and
sweeping away the debris to be spread
on the plains below. These glaciers
developed and extended three times
and. after each development. the con-
gealed masses melted away on the re-
turn of milder climatic conditions, I'M
I'll at length only the small cliff gla-
ciers of the present day are left lurking
in the protected recesses at the heads
of the capacious valleys,
MANY of the rock walled amphithe-
aters are no longer occupied by Ice, but
from all there issues streams fed by
the melting snow or ice. These plunge
over the cliffs In beautiful. foaming
cascades and rush on down the noun
tain gorges. The melting glaciers left
MANY tnclosed basins, large and small
and In these the waters rest awhile
and mirror In their crystal depths the
dark green of the surrounding forests
the rich colors of the rugged mountain
walls and the deep blue of the cloud
fiecked sky. On, again, from lake &c
lake. the waters flow and finally start
down their long courses to the sea tc
merge at length with the chill waters

For those who would be quickly wise
In a general classification of old tap
estry 1t may be said loosely that three
great periods of design and weaving
dominate the history of the art. First
the primitive or Gothic; next, the
renaissance, and then that fiorescence
of decorative design which belongs
more peculiarly to France in the sew
enteenth and eighteenth centuries. As
these three great periods of artistic
development prevailed all over the

Gus Diseases Are Outgrown'
A medical lecturer recently declared
that in many ways thirty is the critical
sea in the average mans life. Once
YOU reach thirty you have outgro"n
many serious diseases. On the otner
hand, you become liable to many oth-
ers that seldom or never attack peopie
In the teens or twenties.
Anaemia, for instance, is practically
unknown after thirty. II you have not
had it by then you never VIII. III you
have you will have outgrown II at
thirty or so. Acne, too-that spout
ness of complexion so common among
young peoples certain to have van
fshed by then.
Thirty, too. sees you out of the reach
Of the gravest of all diseases-con-
sumption. If you have shown no
sign of 1t by then in all probability
Won never will. II you have hitherto
escaped rheumatic fever, too, you are
fairly safe from it for life. Epilepsy
and goiter, too, never make their nrst
attacks on any one who has reached
thirty.
But your thirtieth birthday lays you
omen to kidney troubles OF all sorts
They are very rare in people under
that age. Cancer, too, usually con,
fines itself TO people over thirty. And
you may at any time be surprised oy

"Yeh," answered the driver, only
you'd get more hand claps If you'd al
WAYS put the names at the last when
you say anything"
Victor didn't understand, so the dri-
yer explained;
"You spoke of Henry Clay and

went on to tell about what they did.

Patriots Against Rome's

Rome. Sept. l6-The political sgita-
tion against Italy's neutrality IN the
war is spreading. Nationalists, Demo-
Gratis. Radicals and even Socialists have
passed significant resolutions urging
Italy's participation in the conflict for
tbe reyindication of the national bounda-
ries.
The agitation has been intensified by
the anniversary of the celebration OF the
occupation of Rome next Sunday. It's
generally believed here that the Anglo
French naval inaction in the Adriatic IS
due to Difference to Italy, hence there
are many who believe that it would be
expedient for Italy to intervene at once
before il is too late to reap the ad-
yantages of victory.
A reflection of popular opinion Is
found in the suggestion of II Mesaggero
that strong cabinet composed OF the
most eminent statesmen of all parties
he formed. Such coalition is never
proposed except in times of great emer-
gency.
1t is known that when King victor
Emmanuel gave an audience to the So
cialist leader, Leonida Bissoiatl'Bergu'
maschi. they had a long discussion con-
corning the popular sentiment OF itaiy
toward the war, -
Because OF the patriotic and war-llke
demonstrations in Rome, the govern
ment had to alter the hour OF changing
the guard at the Quirinal palace, TINS
ceremony formerly took place at
o'clock in the afternoon. There were 80
many demonstrations for war and
against Austria The police took steps
to protect the Austrian embassy, but nc
one there was molested.
Referring to the demonstration local
CORRESPONDENT wrote as follows:
"To-day's demonstration indicates the
real feelings of the country FuDhe
opinion has been quiet all this time only
because the people trusted that the gov
eminent was preparing for war and
awaiting an opportunity for the moment
to declare It.
''Now public opinion is indignant be-
Icause of the various insidious attempts
on the part OF German agents to IN.
fuence the government, and because OF
the apparent determination OF the gov
eminent TO preserve their neutrality
which, il is judged, would be advantage
Gus TO Germany and Austria.

more intense than that displayed TOWARD
Austria. and is growing daily.
