Of course you have a near neighbor or have had , or will have , nnd wo all know what a blessing Is the cheery , obliging , mlnd-tholr-own-huslncss sort of a neighbor. That Is the kind wo pin our faith to and whose generous , unobtrusive help In casi of sickness or trouble wo always remember with gratitude. In n city whfcro people aro' largely renters our neighbors are constantly changing and during the course of a few years wo sample n great variety , good , bad and Indifferent. But of all creatures to bo dreaded \ the ofilcIouB Inquiring neighbor , . who Is ap parently devoured by an Insatiable curiosity , respecting the dimensions of your grocery bill or the condition of the family morals. When you hear a ring at the front door bell you are mentally prepared for u caller , n visitor or a book agent. But oil ! those meddling , light-stepping near neighbors , who , at any moment from nnriv Monday morning till lata Saturday night , ur liable to knock at the back door nnd , not waiting for n bidding , nolslossly turn the knob and silently enter your private domain , apd with a cat-llkc tread are upon you , catching you In the act of cleaning your false teeth or turning your Boiled whlto apron wrong side out to present a bettor front. Or perchance nn early call may find the family seated at breakfast and silent notes are taken on the quality of the table llnon and the supply of mutton chops , und what a virtuous shock of surprise Is exhibited if the mistress of the house still happens to have her locks adorned with curl papers. It m&v bo a few hours later you are hurriedly dressing for a business trip down town , when In glides your olDcloiis neighbor , and talks and chatters half an hour , whllo you fume and fret In well bred though use- lees silence , and you miss the Important engagement and thereby are seriously em barrassed. * Somii day you have a headache and know thaU-qulot rest. Is all you neud ; husband Is gone and the children nro at school. With a sigh of relief you settle that aching head upon the pillow of the sitting room couch. But ah ! you forgot to lock the back door that you might pretend you were not at home , and there she comes , that evcr-to-bo- dreaded near neighbor , tripping lightly In with a gay little smllo to tell you that all of her work Is done. She never reads and never sews , but does knit lace , nnd then she chews gum Incessantly , whllo the I yards and yards of fllmy lace her nimble lingers manufacture seems as Inlennnablo as her everlasting tongue. That wags and wags , as she masticates that gum , till , patience , that noble trait. Is worn to shreds and It becomes with you a case of Inward conquest or outward rebellion ; you must needs summon to your aid all of the angelic qualities In order to "lovo thy neighbor as thysolf.'K ' Of course , she Is only thoughtless. But what an awful lot of mischief a thoughtless person can do , especially If there is an un known quantity of Old Nick In their mental makeup. Whenever I see two neighboring women exchanging mlnco pies or testing the baking powers of their respective bread ovens , I presage n falling out some dark day , and what a terrible revelation of one another's bosom secrets and family skeletons will thou bo . disclosed. . Your neighbor will "scatter to the "four winds of" heaven" all of your cherished , harmless llttlo deceits , which they had promised so faithfully never , never to reveal. So do not ho too Intimate with your near neighbors , and respect the 'old saw , "Fa- nilllarlty breeds contempt. " Another variety of next door neighbors who become nn unbearable nuisance arc these who Imagine that though sick unto death you can surely oat their cookery , which they evidently regard as the acme of the culinary art and quite superior to anything produced In your kitchen. A short tlmo since a lady friend found herself confined to the bed with la grippe. She begged the family to keep her Illness a dead secret. But murder will out , and In rushes a kind neighbor , carrying a bowl of soup. "Now , y.ou must eat this. I know It will do you good , for I made It myself. " The Invalid smiles a sickly ghost of a Einllo , feebly expressing thanks for the unexpected attention , devoutly praying mean time that the lady would retire , for soup Is n dish my friend fairly detests. But alas ! for the vain hope , the benefactor stands guard over the painful task , The martyr tastes a llttlo sip , and driven by sere stralta to hide behind a llttlo In nocent nnd much needed deceit , declares that she appreciates the soup. Meantime the gastronomic regions telephone up to the brnln .a vigorous protest against break ing the fast on turnips and hot water , loudly demanding French coffee and rolls. Will some wiseacre explain why the tlmo of a housewife Is considered of so little Im portance tlmt she Is expected to drop her work the moment a visitor enters ? Will the day ever dawn when tlio house keeper will place upon time Its true value ? When that much to bo desired period does arrive , Mrs. Smith will not hu hanging over Mrs. Hrown's back gate half the mornIng - Ing hours , attending strictly to everybody's business but her own , whllo household duties remain neglected and the children run wild upon the street. May choicest blessings rest upon the good neighbor , say I , who calmly Ignores the ex istence of these whoso Inquisitive noses are continually ferreting out the private affairs of others. * Nothing has been more shameful In our _ past than the light and frivolous way In which matrimonial engagements have been regarded oven by Intelligent people. No wonder It has been said of them that llko piecrust they were made to be broken. Such a thing as publicly announcing a betrothal except among our Jowlsh residents , was seldom dreamed of until KngllHh customs came In vogue. Not many years ago It was quite custom- iry for both parties absolutely to deny that an engagement existed until the wedding gown was nearly completed and a homo In readiness for the newly wedded pair , writes Huth Travclyan In the Drooklyn Times , If you go Into country districts today , where there has been llttlo Inllux of foreign popu lation , you will tad these primitive Ideas itlll prevail. A few years ego I met a girl from Maine , itudylng art In Now York , whom I heard tvas engaged to a young man from the same locality , also an art student. They went jvorywhero together nnd tsecmod quite da- rotoil. When I became better acquainted rvlth the girl a wonderfully Intellectual fining woman she told me that the two bad grown up together from childhood , that theirs was a purely platonlc friendship , that thvy had not the faintest Idea of ever becom ing husband und .wlfp , She could not go iround with a young gentleman as she -onUI in the country without being talked ibotit , ui > they decided to bo "engaged. " The arrangement was merely a business and toclal ono. That this brilliant girl was taken to a lunatic asylum soon after her "friend" was married to another suggests tu me a mel.in- sholy talo. Of course , the fact of an engagement usually leaks out In some way or other , greatly to the surprise and Indignation of the parties concerned. U Is ns Impossible to top gossip ever n matter of such vital liiteriist to two family circles , schoolmates , companions and frloluU , as It would bo to stem the torrents of Niagara. The best and most honorable way U not to try. Any young man to whom a loving woman has promised to Intrust her future ought to bo proud to acknowledge It , In such a state of society It Is possible for i young man to be engaged to n plurality of girl ! , at the cann * time , for u young lady to bave several Btrtngs to her bow , rue moat i popular stories of thirty years ago ctrilcd either herd or heroine -som tlm < ! both through a succession of matrimonial oh- gagomcnU. 1 remember In "JJredj A Tnlo of the Dismal Swamp , " by Harriet Ileorher Stowc , the Interest of the tale centers In the bewitching Nlnn , who Is secretly bt trot lied to three gentlemen at once. Ono of the most characteristic of Gibson's Eocloty sketches represents two young ladles of that charming , high-bred type ho draws so admirably. Ono nays : "Aro you going to be married , Maud" " "No , " replies the other , "I am only en gaged. " The Idea that an cngagetnint does not mean marriage some time In the ( uturc , no matter how far distant , Is a most pernicious ono. It Is the root of many evils. Yet I have come to the conclusion tlmt women are much readier to tell cf their newly found happiness than the mure Eolf- conscious opposite sex , who hate dialling and are morbidly sensitive to public opinion. The fashion , fad or whatever you choose to call It , of announcing matrimonial en gagements Is a safeguard at the outer portals tals of marriage. Fewer divorces will Is the result. . Young couples are not apt to rush thoupht- le.HHly Into an engagement , witt'A they realize that It Is not solely a prKUc mailer , that others must be taken Into their con- lldcnco. Men with no means or no possibility of means of supporting a wlfo hetllnto before they ask n girl to tholr lot , when they know the world will bo cognizant of their pre sumption. Girls without stability of character , frivol ous , -scheming , have no longer occasion to accept some man they do not care for as a stepping stone toward securing the one for whom they yearn. By announcing nn engagement , I do not mean proclaiming It from the house tops. All that Is necessary Is for the young man to tell ono particular friend with permission to re peat the fact , and the news will spread moro rapidly than a pralrlo flro.I take It for granted that the families of both parties havu been Informed at once. Greetings be tween them should bo as cordial as possible. A slight coldness at such a time has re mained for years unforglven. It Is most annoying when , after an engage ment has ben made public , It Is found that for financial reasons the marriage cannot take place for an Indefinite period. Ono shrewd young lawyer has solved the problem what to do under such conditions. Ho and his flanceo have announced that the engagement Is dissolved the girl's mother called on friends and acquaintances and told them so yet ho takes the young lady out as much as over and every ono Is expecting to rocelvo wedding cards when circumstances permit. To hide an engagement as If ono was ashamed of It Is complimentary to neither party. Let us congratulate ourselves that fashion now sanctions what the best people have always done announce betrothals even when this was considered by the ma jority as Implying a lack of delicacy. Its observation is now required by society as much as a cessation of brilliant functions in Lout Is required. After finishing her season In Berlin re cently , Eleonora Duso filled an engagement In Frankfort. In passing the largest art store 'In the city ono afternoon she noticed In the window a picture by Dr. Adolf Menzel , the greatest of Germany's historical painters. She went Inside and bought It , saw other pictures by Menzel and bought them , carrying them all away with her In her carriage. A few minutes after her departure Menzel himself stopped at the store. Ho Is almost 80 years old , and for the last generation has been receiving all the honor and admiration that could touch the artlst'a heart. Never theless ho showed much satisfaction when told of Duse's fancy for his works , nnd mumbled some words to the effect that the Italian actress was really a genius In her way : a great concession to her sex from him , for Menzel is a knotty old fellow with all the woman-hating sentiments of a confirmed bachelor. He bought a picture of DUS.O , placed It carefully In his coat-tall pocket , and departed. > The proprietor of the'art ' store told ono of Monzel's friends' 'what' ' had happened , and the friend at once. Invited Duse and Menzel to his house to meet each other at dinner. [ Cadi came , overflowing with admiration for the other. Monzel knows no Italian and Duse knows no German. So the conversar tlon was limited to shrugs of the shoulders , wavlngs of the hand and mutually unin telligible exclamations. When the tlmo for parting came Duso throw off the reserve , of which Americans heard so much during her American tour , seized the old man's hand and tried to raise it to her lips. Monzol struggled to escape the honor and finally , bowing his head , kissed Duso's hand. Then ho fled. Gorman newspapers say that the kiss was an event In tha history of art , that It was the only kiss Menzol has over been known to bestow. His new gallantry has boon a greater revelation to his friends than was Duso's hero worship to her neglected ad mirers. The Incident has caused several editors to recall the scene between Melssonler and Menzel In 1807. Menzcl's reputation had alread spread through the world , as his pic tures of Frederick the Great and his court and of Wellington nnd Uluchcr at Waterloo had been placed high In the list of the great est historical paintings. Molssnler re garded him as the foremost of Gorman painters , and Menzel considered Molssonler , the most admirable of modern artists. When they mot In Paris just after the Auatro-Prus- slan war each struggled vainly In his own language to toll the other of this admiration , but the failure was complete. After having exhausted all the possibilities of'signs and grimaces without reaching nn understand ing , they fell In each other's arms and ex pressed tholr opinions by means of several hearty hugs. There Is nothing In this weary world more unsatlsfactorv and discouraging than to glvo a .present that cost $3 that looks as If It didn't cost moro than ? 2 , writes the sago of the Atchlson Globo. Us n bad sign when a young husband be gins to go to see his folks without his bride. You nro getting too old to Illrt and dance If you can take n imp sitting In a chair. When a man discovers that his wlfo bo- Hovcs everything that ho tolls her , ho tells her things that are not true. It depends entirely upon how much she has whether or not It embarrasses a woman to have her back hair como down. It doesn't take moro than throe months to take away the triumphant air a young married woman wears In the presence of unmarried ones. A married woman's description of nn Ideal man la the picture of the kind she didn't got. got.Wo are willing to bet that the devil Is a married man. The trouble with people being religious Is that they are too conceited to Imagine they have anything to repent of , "No. " admitted a man this morning , "my wlfo never tolls mo that she Is fond of me , but she always makes the kind of pie I llko best. " Some people got married because they are tired of being In love. So much less Is ex pected of married people than of lovers. How very seldom It Is you hear of a woman giving a family dinner to which her husband's relatives are Invited. Have you noticed how baseless are the grievances of your friends ? Your griev ances have an equally ridiculous foundation to your friends. Wo all make too much ot our troubles. The most affectionate family wo ever know was composed of nine different members - bers , and they lived In nine dllfcrcnt town * . When a girl wants to marry a man hoi father opposes , she tlnds a champion In hot mother. A mother will always oppose her judgment to her husband's In a case ot this kind , When ft man Is a llttlo queer as a lover , ho Is awfully queer as a married man. An humble lover makes a very domineer * Ini : husband. FASHION POINTERS. Durable twilled silks of various kinds are revived.

The Idea of placing saleswomen Instead of men In the boys' clothing department has been adopted by a firm with largo stores In several cities. Annie Ilesant wears n bloodstone ring given her by Mme. Dlavatsky , which pos sesses wonderful magnetic power , so Its pres ent owner states. The nuss'an government has just Issued a decree that henceforth the services of women ns clerks , telegraph operators and ticket sellers on the railroads are to bo dis pensed with and the vacancies filled by men. According to that arch-fiend , the statis tician , who manipulates figures -with most astounding results , only 55 per cent of blondes marry , against 79 per cent of their dark-haired sisters , who secure husbands. Mrs. Charles Avery Doremus , the author of "Tho Full Hand , " which was recently produced In New York , Is a descendant ot President Jefferson. Mrs. Doremus was educated In Paris and has written several works of fiction. The first literary venture of Elizabeth Stuart Phelps Ward was a story written when she was only 33 years old. It found ready sale at the olllco of The Youth's Com panion , and soon after saw the light In that publication. The mother of Bishop General Leonldas Polk was ono of the earliest promoters of railroad enterprises In this country. She projected the first line ot railway In North Carolina , a cheap tramway , which was called the Experimental railway.

The musical editor of the Boston Homo Journal has had a letter from Pattl , and he says It Is as well put together as Is her won derful vocallsm. It Is written on heavy whlto llnon glossed paper , the sheets being about six inches wldo and nine Inches long. The handwriting is exquisitely fine and dainty. The Innovation of no gloves for brides received fresh emphasis at tha recent wed ding of Hon. Nellie Bass In England. She were rings enough to almost cover her fin gers , but no gloves. This Is a very trying edict , for the whitest of hands are apt to look red against the snowlness of a bridal gown. German housewives , and perhaps others , make an excellent Icing for cake without oggs. To a half-pound of powdered sugar add the grated rind of an orange , a tablespoonful - spoonful of boiling water and a llttlo orange Juice enough to moisten It thoroughly. This should bo .used at once , and when "set" will bo found soft and very nice. Miss Mary , the youngest daughter of ex- Secretary Hugh McCulloch , Is a recent addi tion to the list ot short story writers.

Undo Sam's subjects from the Arctic zone taught a Chicago audience a pretty lesson In patriotism at the Chicago opera house , says the Times. It was when Herrmann weaves from nothingness the Hags ot all nations and from them In turn evolves an American flag emblazoned with an equestrian figure of Washington. The eleven Eskimos from arc tic Alaska , who occupied boxes , rose In their seats , cheered the flag , and remained stand ing until It had disappeared. The audience caught the eloquent significance nnd burst Into delighted cheers. The orchestra crashed out the "Star Spangled Banner , " Herrmann bowed low , nnd the ensemble was a very genuine demonstration of patriotism. The Eskimos , who wore the , magician's guests , are onrouto to Washington , whore they will appear before the president , senate and house. They are In charge of Minor W. llniCPj wlio was sent by the government two years ilgo to study methods for the develop ment of arctic Alaska.

None ot his charges speak English , but are a keen , Intelligent race , far superior in mentality to the Es kimos of Labrador. The party In the charge of Mr , Bruce are the flrst genuine Eskimos over sent so far south. There are four men , three women , and four llttlo girls. All wear furs and have tholr hair dune In the quaint native fashion * They will return homo by way of San Fran cis : o In Juno. To them Herrmann's per formance was of especial significance , us his methods are not unlike these of the magic ians nnd medicine men of their native land. They watched his tricks with Intense Inter est , and , far from being startled , showed rather a decorous spirit ot Investigation that Indicated keen Intelligence. Ulna , a child of 5 years , sat gravely through the porforminco , behaving In a manner that could have been hold up as an object lesson to some little girls , The four children clapped tholr hands joy ously at the sight of the flag , mingling their shrill cheers with tlioua of tholr elders. Tholr bright , pretty faces shared the Interest of the audience , which was highly flattered at the patriotism of people living within twenty-three mlles of the Arctic circle.

THE MONARCH OF THE 'PACIFIC Dedicating n National Park with Mount Tncotim In the Center The Wonders of the Iono Hentlncl of the Northwest Outlined. The wisdom of the national government In reserving and dedicating as public parks the scenic wonders of the Bjibllc domain Is uni versally commended. { Tjib Yellowstone and the Yoscmlte national parks have been sup plemented with mlnorl reserves and larger and equally majestic areas of natural grand- cur are In contciiiplatfi'n. Among these Is Mount Tacoma , the sconjc splendors of which are the thcino of a descriptive paper by Mr. Carl Snyder In the Review of Hcvlews. Mr. Snyder writes : The proposed new national park lies In the state of Washington , In. the very heart of that vast and somber forest which , stretch ing northward from the Columbia river far Into the solitudes of tha British possessions , mufllcs In a dark pall of verdure the whole long western slopa of the Cascades. Hero the heavy rain-laden clouds blow In from the Pacific , finding their easternward flight barred by tlio mountain barricade , pour down upon the region on annual rainfall of fifty Inches. It nurtures the giant growth of fir and cedar and spruce , the heavy festooning moss and the deep tangled undergrowth that makes of much of western Washington a dense and sometimes Impassable jungle. It Is for this reason that the wonders of the now park have so long escaped alike the Incursloiuof tourist or descriptive artist , while the glories of moro accessible regions have been heralded throughout Christendom. And It might still remain unknown and un noticed were It not that from out this almost Cimmerian land rises the most superb and majestic mountain peak to bo found on this continent. If not upon the round earth. For , while there are other peaks whoso brows are cooled by yet higher altitudes there are none which present such a rare and wondrous union of symmetry and sub limity , of mystic color , perfection of grace ful outline and gigantic and awe-lnsplrlng shape as this soaring dome of snow , the Mount Italnler of the maps , the Mount Ta coma of popular usage and aboriginal tra dition. There are few who may look upon Its lone and 'simple majesty with soul un moved , for It Is ono of nature's master pieces. And there are few who , having looked upon It , do not experience a desire ' to penetrate the dreamy veil In which it hangs and make acquaintance of Its.nearer beauties. It has a spell and a fascination so subtle and resistless as to stir the com monest clod- while It spurs the poetic fancy to fantastic flights. I rememberas I first watched It grow , luminous , opalescent and regal from out the mantle of mist which held It as In a shroud , I could have sum moned back' the whole antique world of mythology and domiciled It upon this greater and grander Olympus. DISCOVERED BY A POET. It was Theodore Wlnthrop , of gcntlo memory and pathetic fame , who first spread abroad the glories of the slwosh-'s Tacoma. Years ago , a matter of some four decades , to bo exact , Wlnthrop , young , ardent , and a poet to boot. Journeyed west. When he crossed the Isthmus of Panama and struck northward he found about the Golden Gate a patch of population a population that , In paradoxical parlance , had' boon summoned by a fever for gold. But for the rest , from beyond the Missouri to the rolling tides of the Pacific , ho found a land which the maps still traced with uncertain outline and peopled pled only with savages , save where in ono blooming oasis by the shores of the great Salt Lake the children of a new messlah had plunged Into tho-wilderness seeking a homo and a haven from the bigoted perse cutions of tf 'nation that stlll'v traded in slaves. Penetrating as far as the region which congress was about to erect Into the territory of Washington , he brought back report of this lonely peak rising sheer from the Inmost waters of I'uget ' sound , whose name he caught from the varying dialects of the Indian tribes arid fused Into softened cadence of "Tah-co-nla. " Ills flrst daz zling vision of the mountain , caught as ho paddled up that matchless Inland sea which bears the name of Vancouver's lieutenant , Peter Puget , Wlnthrop cast In these vivid and colorful lines : WINTIIROP'S APOCALYPSE. "Wo had rounded a point and opened Puy- allup bay , a breadth of sheltered calmness , when I , lifting sleepy byellds for a dreamy stare about , was suddenly aware of a vast whlto shadow In the water. What cloud , piled massive on the horizon , could cast an Imago so sharp in outline , so full of vigor ous detail of surface ? No cloud , as my stare , no longer dreamy , presently discovered no cloud , but a cloud compcller. It was a giant mountain dome of snow , swelling and seem ing to fill the aerial spheres as Its Imago displaced the blue deeps of tranquil water. The smoky haze of an Oregon August hid all the length of Its lesser ridges , and left this mighty summit based upon uplifting dimness. Only Its splendid snows were visi ble , high In the unearthly regions of clear blue , noonday sky. The shore line drew a cincture of pines across tho" broad base , where It faded , unreal , Into the mist. The same dark girdle separated the peak from Its reflection , over which my canoe was now pressing and sending Wavering swells to shatter the beautiful vision before It. "Kingly and alone stood this majesty , with out any visible comrade or consort , though far to the north and the south Us brethren and sisters dominated their realms , each In isolated sovereignty , rising nbovo the plno-darkcned sierra of the Cascade moun tains above the stern chasm where the Columbia. Achilles of rivers , sweeps short lived and jubilant to the sea above the lovely vales of the Willamette and the Ump- qua. Of all the peaks from California to the Frazor river , this ono before mo was the royalest , Mount Hegnlor , Christians have dubbed It , In stupid nomenclature , per. pctuatlng the name of somebody or nobody. More melodiously , the ulwoshos call It Ta coma , a generic term also applied to all snow peaks. Whatever Mtoen crests and crags there may bo In Its rocky anatomy of basalt , snow covers softly with Its bonds and sweeping curves. Tacoma , under Its ermine , Is a crushed volcanic dome , or an ancient volcano fallen In. But If the giant flros had over burned under that cold sum mit , they have long since gone out. The dome that swelled up so passionately had crusted over and then fallen In upon Itself. Where It broke In ruin was no doubt a deso late waste , stern , craggy and riven , but such drear results of Titanic convulsions the gentle snow hid from view. "No foot of man had trampled - plod these pure snowa. u was a virginal mountain , distant from the possibility of human approach and human Inqulsltlvoness as a marble goddess Is from human loves. " PUGET SOUND THEN AND NOW. This was forty years ago. The railway now penetrates where Wlnthrop trod a 'wilderness , and the ships of commerce from the distant ports of the Orient ply that beautiful sound down which , In the midst of a vast solitude , the young traveler pad- dl d In a rude dug-out. Two modern and prosperous cities , ono named from the great mountain In whoso shadow It lies , the other from the great chief < who so long ruled the tribes that dwell' at tha mountain's feet , Tacoma and Seattle , have been built where Wlnthrow found only Indian huts. And attracted by Its grandeur and Its mys tery , the mountain whlah seemed to him HO distant from human approach has been ex plored , Its fastnesses pujietrated and mapped , and a number of micewmful ascents to Its far summit have been. mode. And such a wonderful region has Jb buen discovered to be that fitting recognition can be made of It In but ono way : Toilet It' aside as our third great national pad ; . THE WASHINGTO 'NATIONAL PARK. The first step toward'lhls end was mode when on February 20 President Iliirn- on Issued a proclamation setting aside a tract of sqmo 1,600 square mlles about the mountain as the "I'aclile Forestry Reserve. " And now before congress Is the bill Intro duced by Senator Watson C. Squire , which our IctlBlatora arc urged tu put a speedy passage , "dedicating this area , to be known \\nshlncton National Park , for the benefit and enjoyment of the people of the United States , forever. " The reserva tion lies In the northwestern portion of the state of Washington , about forty miles di rectly southeast of the city of Tacoma , and Includes portions of Pierce , Klttltas , Lowls and Yak I ma counties. Some forty miles cast and west and about thirty-eight north nnd south , It contains In all about 1,000,000 acres , or a rather larger area than the slate of Rhode Island. THE GREATEST GLACIAL SYSTEM. Chief of all among the wonders of the re gion are Its glaciers. Spun round the moun tain as an axis , like the radial spokes of some gigantic wheel , are some fourteen huge Ice fields , varying from a mile to twelve miles In length. Though no ono of them taken alone equals In size the great Mulr glacier of Alaska , together they constitute the greatest glacial system In the world. Hy way of comparison , rather than disparage ment , It may bo said that all the glaciers of the Alps might bo snugly stowed away In a minor segment of this Immense circle. Perhaps the largest of tha Ice fields Is the Tahoma , lying on the southwestern slope of the mountain. Its proportions may be roughly stated as about one mile In width , seven miles In length and an average depth of GOO feet. Im agine If you will a solid block of tea whoso average thickness Is twice the height of Trinity spire , and In places between 1,000 and 2,000 feet , and of sufficient length and width to cover one-half of Manhattan Island. The Nesqually , the Cowlltz , the Carbon and Whlto river glaciers are of but llttlo less Immensity , the last named being fully twelve miles In length. When now you consider that a glacier a mile In length nnd a half a mile wldo , In Europe , Is an eminently respectable affair , you may grasp something of the size and bulk of. this field of Ice. From these massive storage reservoirs flow some six streams varying from seventy to 100 miles In length , the Cowlltz , Natchcs , the White , Puyalltip , DCS Chutes and Nes qually , which variously empty Into the Columbia , Puget sound and the sea. Fre quently la to bo witnessed the singular spectacle of a stream bursting from the ' glaziers In full head. Thus as the great Nesqually glazier Issues from the narrow canyon which holds It like a vise It presents a lowering wall of Ice COO feet high , of abrupt face , from which the river pours In noisy tor rent beneath. Again , on the surface of the glaciers themselves , small streams are seen tumbling down Into some deep-riven crevasse , while hero and there a lakelet of deep blue water COO or GOO feet In diame ter is to be observed nestling on the solid ice. A CAMP IN PARADISE. In almost startling contrast to all this dreary desert of snow Is the unique beauty and sublimity of Paradise vafley. Lying on the southern slope of the mountain , shut In on either side by the huge glaciers of the Ncsqually and Cowlltz , and surrounded by towering walls of basalt , the effect as you como upon It Is blznrro In the extreme ; It Is as though ono had stopped from the regions of the pole Into a semi-tropical garden. Hero nature revels In her most gorgeous scenic and chromatic effects. The valley Is a deep , broad , natural park , some ten miles In length and perhaps two wide , and curved In the form of an uncompleted horseshoe. It lies just below the line of perpetual snow , Its basaltic palisades protect it from the glacier's chilling breath , and as the warm southern 'sun beats upon Its rich , volcanic soil It summons to llfo an almost tropical vegetation , which spreads over the floor of the valley like a carpet of brilliant color. It Is almost a hothouse effect. At the ex treme head of the park lies Paradise glacier , pouring forth the turbulent milk-white stream which goes swirling down the valley like a stria of pearl In the richer emerald or amber and foliage. Higher still gleam the cold , white flanks of the Cowlltz glacier , while over the jutting cliff tops the riotous streams poured down from the Ice fields take flying leaps from the dizzy crests , and shim mer gently Into the far depths. Chief of thcso Is the beautiful Slulskln or Paradise falls , at the head of the valley. A little lake nestles at the foot of the ridge , while away to the southward , 100 miles to the Columbia , the rough and broken country stretches away like an angry , tumultuous sea. St. Helens , a sharp volcanic cone wreathed in snow , lifts It graceful head in the distance , and beyond are Mt. Hood and Mt. Jefferson. Looking down the valley the basaltic walls seem of an artificial regularity ; the effect of the vivid coloring of the foliage Is weird and fantastic , as If the sunlight were filtered through some vast prism ; and as the eye swoops the scene with Its stranno com mingling of crag and waterfall , glacier and garden-like vegetation , the blending of Jan uary and June , ono might fancy the spot some ancient playground of the young gods. A camp In Paradlso park Is an unmixed delight. Game abounds and the scenery Is Intoxicating. And It Is hero , at an eleva tion of about 6,000 feet , that you begin to appreciate something of what awaits the climber who pushes on to the summit. Camp of the Clouds , which lies on a high ridge above the valley , about 7,000 feet up , la at a higher elevation than Is Pike's Peak summit above the city of Denver. There is still a matter of 8,000 feet , a mile and a half , of sheer ascent before the top Is at tained. HIGHEST PEAK IN THIS COUNTRY. But the mountain Itself Is and over will bo the central point of Interest as It Is the dominant figure of the landscape. It Is the middle of the three dazzling snow peaks which space the crest line of the Cascades at Intervals of about 100 miles. Mount Hood at , the south and Mount Baker at the north attain a height , of 10,000 and 11,000 feet , while Tacoma rises nearly 4,000 feet higher , or to an attitude of 14,441 feet. * This , It should be berne In mind , Is the visual as well as the actual height , for , Tacoma rests Us base practically at the edge of the sea. Thus , although Pike's Peak , for example , or the Matterhorn of the Alps , are each of about an equal altitude , rising as they do from a high plateau live to seven thousand feet above the level of the sea , they afford the eye hardly half the aspect of sublimity us this Colossus of the I'aclile. Four or five Mount Washlngtons might bo piled ono above the other , llko the superimposed temples of Bolus , and still hardly attain the cold and distant heights to which Tacoma rises. Similarly It would require a pile of thirty pyramids the size of Cheeps to reach the level of Its summit. U overlooks Puget sound from Olympla to Victoria , n distance Qf ICO miles. It Is visible from the city of Portland , 120 miles to the south , nnd from Walla Walla , on the eastern edge of Wash ington , ICO miles away. Within the field of vision from Its summit are Included nearly the entire state of Washington and portions of llrltlsh Columbia , Idaho and Oregon. Fancy such n peak as this , rising from the midst of the Allcghnnles ! Not a tourist or a geologist In twenty states but who would have visited and explored It , and attempted Its'summit , while beside It Niagara would be a point of moderate Interest. BULK ENOUGH TO DAM TUB ATLANTIC. Then , too , Its enormous bulk. Tacoma Is not attached to the range , but stands silent and apart , llko the royal chief that It Is. This slnglo mountain Is nearly ninety miles In circumference at Its base ; nt the line of perpetual snow , about D.COO feet altitude , It la twelve miles In diameter , while Us broad summit Is moro than two miles across. And It Is , as I have said , nearly three miles high. A pen and pencil will readily compute Us volume , nearly 200 cubic miles. Tlmt Is to say , If the average depth of the Atlantic does not exceed ono mile , the material con tained In 'this mountain would construct a solid embankment of an average thickness of 300 feet from Capo Cod to the English coast. From the summit of Tucoma the tower of Ilubel would have been hardly more visible than ono of the church spires of a Puget sound city. A FLOATING CASTLE OF THE SKY. Seen from almost any point of the compass the aspect of the mountain Is Imposing be yond words. Perhaps the best attainable view , If ono docs not care to penetrate the Interior , Is from the top of the noble bluffs on which the city of Tacomu Ilos. Hero the eye , looking up the low Intervening valley nt the Pnyallup , may command the entire bulk of the mountain from base to summit. TJio picture In Htrangoly varied and changeful Ton one day the mountain seems cold , distant and lifeless , and , a.galn , warm , glowing , opalescent , llko tinted alabaster. For days It will remain hidden behind the dense mlsta which gather about It , and then as Urn clouds part loom out of the murk In all Its Imperial majesty Still again.

Hut nn ascent Is not won nt any light cost niul tlio climber who essays tlmt bleak and barren summit must , bo well nup- rillcd with resolution , endurance and during. And oven with these he may fall , as many have. The first whlto man , perhaps the first of human kind , to make the ascent was non- oral , then lieutenant , A. V. Kautz , who In 1857 was stationed at Fort Btcllacoom , a little frontier stochado on Puget Sound. Of an advonttircsomo turn , he Induced two com panions to make the attempt with him. They reached the saddle back below Peak Success , perhaps 1,000 feet below the actual summit , Crater peak , when hunger and ex haustion forced them to nn Immediate de scent. A moro successful attempt to explore the top of the mountain was inndo In 1870 by General Hazard Stevens nnd 1" . I ) . Van Trump , accompanied by the 'old Indian guide Slulskln. They chosp what Is now the accepted route , through I'oradlso Park and up by the side of the Cowlltz glacier and Gibraltar Rock , reached Crater 1'oak and 1'eak SUCCCSH , and spent a night In the crater caverns. Slulskln awaited them about half way up , In reality never expecting their return. No amount of urging would Induce him to make the ascent. Tnh-ho-mn ho regarded nd the dread abode of an evil spirit who would hurl avalanches on tlio Impious mortal who dared penetrate his sacred precincts. The Indian superstition of the mountain Is general , and In the picturesque legends of these red men there runs the story of ono who climbed to the top and found there a fiery lake , but was hurled down by the spirit who abides there , Indicating that the mountain has been In eruption within legendary times. MANY ATTEMPT , FEW SUCCEED. Slnco then several successful ascents have boon made * and In 1SOO Miss May Fuller , a young lady of Tacoma , braved the rigors of the climb , and won the honor of being the llrst woman to reach the summit. Many attempts are made each summer , but the number of these whoso names are recorded In the caverns of tlio crater are not large. Thus of all the numerous parties w"ho es sayed the feat during the recent season only the photographic expedition led by Arthur French of Tacoma was successful. Many entertaining accounts have been written of these ascents. Hut they can , after all , convey llttlo Idea of the strange sensation of standing far above the clouds , the landscape below blotted out of sight , only the towering cones of distant vol canoes lifting their heads above the vast and gloomy expanse of mist , of peering over the brink of some eyrie crag down Into far depths , whoso outlines are lost In obscurity , of feeling the earth tremble beneath your feet at the onset of some roaring , plunging avalanche , to bo alone on the summit of an ether-piercing peak , amid trackless deserts of snow , miles above the precincts of animal or vegetable life , In a still darkness that appals , with only the sky and the stars for a neighbor. Little wonder that the law giver of Israel went upon the mountain top , for It Is upon the lonely heights that seor- shlp comes , and the mind escaping from the narrow fetters of common llfo stands face to face with the Immanent forces of the world. Recent and moro accurate measurements show that the true , height of tlie mountain Is above 15,000 feet , so that Tacoma Is the highest peak within the borders of the United States.

As the Columbian Exposition passes Into history the question of Its fittest , most en during and most beautiful memento for in dividual possession ORSiimos Importance , Of all the tokens that have boon devised to celebrate great episodes , coins or modals coins not for currency have been found most appropriate and have ( survived every other vestiso of human creation In cunnec. tlon with the subject they wcro Inlondod to make Immortal. The Isabella coin blends all the qualities of beauty , permanency and fitness fit , because It Is Identified with the oxposltlnn by author * Ity of congress , and relates exclusively to It- , because1 the whole Issue In comparatively Hinall and the bulk of It Is bound In time to ho lost ; because the portrait lu a fac-Blmllo of the only ono unquestioned as truthfu , and because the execution Is of unusual pre cision and suavity. In addition to thoxu traits , Its value IH enhanced by the unprece dented distinction of being tlio only , medal or coin over struck lu honor of a queen aftnr her death , for coinage of sovereigns1 hoada ceases with the reign. It IH unique in being the only coin titruck In homage to \vumun exorcising no sway In the world but tlmt of Ideal worth , and In romomboranco , not of battles , or prowess , or In the name of her own race , or for any material end , hut to rovlvo and perpetuate the glory of a woman who , actuated by unselfish motives and out of faith In God and a man , gave her gems and her patronage to a projoet deemed futllo by consort , and court and nearly all her advisors , thereby opening to mankind a world of whoso real scope oven Its discoverer waa not at the tlmo uwuro. Much of the history of the world Is written on coins.

Isabella A. Dayton of Cambridge , Muss. , a giddy young thing of 05 , has just re ceived $5,000 In a suit for breach of promise. The defendant agreed to pay her $10,000 last year , owing to the opposition of his family to the proposed marriage , hut she declined It at the time. Insisting on a ful- llllmcnt of the engagement. Mrs. Waldo Hoblnson , a cousin of Presi dent Cleveland , who died In DCS Molnes last October , made an arrangement by which her husband was to marry a Miss Emma Brown .of Indianapolis , an Intimate friend of hers , who had promised her to take careof Mr. Hoblnson and their children. The marlage of Miss Drown nnd Mr. Uoblnson has just taken place at Indianapolis. The most Interesting bit of gossip In con nection with the new associate Justice of tlu : supreme court Is that ho Is soon to bo married to ono of the most attractive ladles In Washington society , the widow of Linden Kent , a popular lawyer , who was executor of General Sheridan's estate , nnd died three years ago. Justice White Is a bachelor , 49 years old , rich and handsome , without u wrinkle upon his ruddy face , and red hair which the molh of tlmo has spared to a reasonable degree. While the town board meeting of West Indianapolis was In session recently Justice of the Peace Allen , who was present , was summoned to perform a marriage ceremony. The contracting parties wore John Perry and Miss Mary McGruovy. Tlio ceremony was performed at the residence of the brldo , on Ilrldgo slrujt.
