GRANDEUR IN GLACIERS.
Tho Alpine like Scenery In Mount Raj. nier National Park.

Tho Alpine like Scenery In Mount Raj. nier National Park.
 | Mount Rainier National park is sit- uated in western Washington, about ffty-six miles southeast of the city of Tacoma. It has an area of 207,360 acres and comprises Mount Rainier and all its approaches, including one of the largest glacier systems in the world radiating from any single peak. Surrounding the mountain are beau tifu forests of fir and cedar, and in the natural parks below the snow line are luxuriant fields of wild flowers of all colors and descriptions. The lower d. titudes of the park are densely tim bered with fir, cedar, hemlock. maple, alder, cottonwood and spruce. The forested areas, extending to an alti- tude of about 6,50O feet, gradually de crease in density of growth after an altitude of 4,O00 feet is reached. and the high, broad pateaus between the glacial canyons present incornparable scenes of diversified beauties, seeming ly arranged to suit every taste.
 These parks" as they are called, are studded here and there with lakes and streams bordered with clumps of pie turesque Alpine frs and gorgeous beds of wild flowers, and in numerous in stances apparently tender blossoms will be found pushing their heads out from under the snow.
 The general elevation of the glacial valleys at the boundary lines of the park is about 2.0OO feet above sea level, These valleys afford comparatively easy grade to the lower ends, or 'snOuts," of the various glaciers, ap- proximately an average additional ele- vation of 2,OOO feet. At these glacier shouts the real Alpine nature of Mount Rainier National park territory is thrust upon the traveller, and from. over, around and alongside the glaciers trails have been constructed with a view to making the wonders of nature within the park easily accessible as well as to provide patrol routes for the protection of the forests and game.

OUR FIRST POLICEWOMAN.
About as Terrible as a kitten," Yet
 Praised by English Observers.

About as Terrible as kitten," Yet
 Praised by English Observers. It was in a school at Salt Lake City, Utah. early in 1913, that l chanced upon Mrs. Wells, the first American to conceive the idea of adding women to the police force and the first woman to be so appointed. When was told of her profession my imagination flew to the typical figure of a policeman in London, aid I pictured her strapping Amazon in uniform, baton at waist. helmet on head and on her feet the l boots so familiar to us in the stage 1 farce.
 When 1 encountered my first police woman l was disillusioned. ] found her not an amazon, but Slightly built active woman a little over five feet in height. Her age was between thirty-tive and forty. She had pleas ant. firm voice and bright blue eyes. which seemed to me to be more than usually observant As one newspaper described her. she was about as for. midable as kitten"
 She had come to Salt Lake City at the request of the civic authorities to tell them of her duties, as they were considering the question of appointing women to the police force there. Her work at Los Angeles. Cal. had been so widely appreciated and her superiors in office had received 50 many letters of inquiry regarding it from the au thorities of other towns that they de cided to allow her six months leave of absence ill order that she might travel and tell other municipal author ities about her work.-Lady Darwin in Nineteenth Century.

TRAVEL IN SAN SALVADOR.

More than once, says John H. Weeks in his book Among the Primitive Ba- kongo," I had in my San Salvador journey strong krooboy a part of whose duty it was to carry me over the many streams and swamps that crossed the path. His name was re- markable one. I do not know how he came by it, but the first time 1 met him I asked him his name, and he re- piled in krooboy English, "My name. massa, be Napoleon Bonaparte." Sometimes Napoleon would have me on his shoulders in the middle of a river, and feeling the rush of water against his legs he would begin to quake and say: "Massa, no fit for carry you. 1 go let you fall" would reply, Napoleon, l fit for give you one cupful of rice suppose you no drop me-"
 He would then take few more care full paces, and feeling the swirl of wa ter more strongly about his legs and the stones slipping beneath his feet he WOulu uefVOuSly Gull out III LIS CuIlou'
 English: "Massa, massa, I no fit! l bound for let you fall"
 Napoleon often received from me the promise of two or three cupfuls of rice to steady him before he landed me high and dry upon the farther bank. At times we were not so fortu. nate Then both of us went down into the water, and we congratulated our selves when it was stream and not u nasty, muddy swamp.

Shampoo.

A mid-eighteenth century traveller, who is the first person known to have made English of the word shampoo wrote that "shampooing is an opera ton not known ill Europe and is pc cuIiar to the Chinese. which I had once the curiosity to go through and for which l paid but q tritle. However, had l not seen several Chinese mer- chants shampooed before me l should have been apprehensive of danger. even at the sight of all the different instruments" The original 'sham- poo," as this travellers detailed ac- count and other allusions for long after his time show. was very much what we call massage" now. It was from India that the word really came. and it represents the imperative of a verb meaning to knead.

Green Animals a Puzzle.

What makes some animals green? If any reader knows and will tell he will settle a big dispute now going on among scientists who have vowed to find out. Green colorations belong chiefly to insects, worms and reptiles.
 Whether they get their green hue from the plants they eat or not is a ques- tion that has not been conclusively settled, although it has been shown that they will retain their color even when denied all green food.-Exchange.

A LESSON IN GEOGRAPHY.
Do You Know How Far East South
 America's West Coast Is?

Do You Know How Far East South America's West Coast Is7 In his book, the Conquest of the
 Tropics," Frederick Upham Adams calls attention to some little known
 geographical facts:
 Most of us picture Havana as nearly
 south of New York, when in fact it is
 about south of Detroit. A study of
 map of the new world discloses the
 disconcerting fact that all of the west
 coast of South America is east of De- troit, and that most of it is hundreds of miles east of New York city. The truth of the matter Is that we should call that continent Southeast Amer
 Ga."
 1 also made the astounding discov- cry that considerable portion of South America lies north of the south erly sections of North America. When we set sail from Colon for Santa Mar ta, Colombia. We do not head south or southeast, we point our prov north
 east. This is almost as puzzling as the other fact to the effect that Colon, the
 Caribbean port (the supposed east
 port, is twenty odd miles west of Pan-
 anna City, which is on the Pacific and
 presumably west end of the canal. It is positively uncanny to look out of a
 window of the Tivoli hotel, in Panama
 City, and watch the sun rise squarely
 out of the Pacific ocean! Of course
 an accurate map justifies the sun ill
 selecting the Pacific for rising rather
 than setting purposes, but it never
 seemed right or proper to mo. Oceans should stay where they belong, and the Pacific has no business to twist itself to the east of Panama.

BREEDERS AND OWNERS OF Pure BRED
JERSEYS TO MEET AT LIVINGSTON FRIDAY
History of the Grant County Organization with Names of Chart
er Members present Enrolment Also Given.---
The Association Started Four Years
Ago and Has Been
Successful

Four years ago last October Is,
there was organized in Lancaster a
stock breeders association that since
has grown in numbers and influence,
until now it is real power in its
sphere. In common parlance it Is
known as the Jersey Cattle club; in
fact it's name is Grant County Jersey
Breeders association. To begin with
there were Is members, and each of
the number was in dead earnest in
the breeding of real dairy cattle.
Those who first joined, or who
were charter members, were: Peter
Hoffman. Ira Murphy, George and J.
A. Martin, j. Allen Vincent and
Henry Zenz, Lancaster; Theodore
Wehrle, D. A. Donnan and P. j.
Braudt, of Fennimore; E. A. Cairns,
Mt. Hope; E. A. Kaump and Arnold
Graves, PlatUeville; 7. H. Harville,
Bagley; R. G. Ketterer, Werley, and
J. w. Anderson & Son, Woodman.
Of these Mr.. Harville was elected
president, George Martin, vice-presi-
dent, Mr.. Ketterer, secretary and
Mr.. Cairns, treasurer. And there
was a board of directors and two
standing committees. 1t started in
life strong, hearty youngster, and
it certainly has held its own in the
struggle with the world, and Compel
ing breeds of dairy stock in this Sec
ton.
1t is admitted here in Lancaster,
we think, that the late Perry Walker
was the pioneer breeder of Jersey
cattle in this vicinity. That was
before the dairying industry had
reached the proportions it now has,
and before Grant county had so many
creameries as it now has. Mr..
Walker was one of those who seemed
to foresee the present Wisconsin,
even 20 years ago. Soon after Mr..
Walker, some farmers in the vicinity
of Bloomington took to the Jersey,
and now the purebred individuals of
that blood are perhaps the most
numerous of any of the recognized
strains of blooded cattle. Every one
of the SO townships in Grant has its
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1915-02-03

breeders of Jerseys, and in some Sec
tions these individuals ere vry
numerous.
During the past four years the
breeding Of pure bred milch cows has
almost, if not quite, doubled in Grant
county. Of course there are lots of
grade cows, and unhappily too many
scrubs, but the tendency to pure breds
has been very strong.
And in this the Jersey breeders
have kept we'll apace of the fanciers
of other strains. The present mem
bership of the Grant County Jersey
Cattle Breeders association, as it ap
pears on the records of the secretary,
John R. Wilkins, Livingston, is:
j. w. Anderson & Son, Woodman; P.
j. Braudt, D. A. Donnan and Theodore
Wehrle, of Fennimore Arnold Graves,
E. A. Kaump and NJ. R. Mathews, of
Platteville; r. G.. Ketterer. Werley !;
Lewis Bushnell, Ralph Mathews,
Charles Mathews and John r. Will
kins, of Livingston; Henry Zenz, ].
Allen Vincent, George Martin, Ira
Murphy, Robert Kenney, Al. Hun
saker and Edward Greaney, of Lam
caster. And this membership rep
resents only very respectable frac-
ton, perhaps less than a majority, of
the earnest breeders of Jersey stock
in Grant county.
Next Friday there will be meet
ing of the county association at Liv-
ingston, at which a speaker from out
of this section will make an address
on the dairy COW, with the loud pedal
on the Jersey. 1t is hoped that a
large attendance will be present at
this meeting. Livingston is fast
leading almost every other section of
Grant and adjoining counties in the
production of pure bred dairy cows.
Very recently the Guernsey breeders
had successful meeting at Livings-
ton. and it is the intention of the
Jerseyites, so we hear. to sort of put
it over the Guernseyites. Anyway
the meeting next Friday will be
worth the time of any cow-man to
attend.
