MKT DEATH IN THE ALPS. Bow Two Daring Cllinlwri, 1 Itvl 'I o gsthsr, Warn Dathad to Dnatli. The Intent victims of nmbltion to Climb the Matterhorn wore Andreas Seller, o tourist, nnd Johann lllonor, a guide. They belonged to a party of five end, being n little more venture some, had gone ahead. One of the surviving three tolls of the accident os follows: The others were only live minutes ahead, and we had reached n dillkult spot and wero standing in steps cut ot the top of a small patch of ice, at on angle of fifty degrees and close to roc It, when Mooser called out, “Ho ware of stones." Wo pressed close to tlie rock anil listened, when the two N (Seiler and lliener) shot past us. Wo were all thrro close togothor, und Mooser could hnvo touched them with his ax. They wore tied togothor. Seller passed close to us, Ills back downwurd, his head well bent up, ns If he wero preparing for a sudden shock, lliener ilow far out against the blue sky and the rope was stretched tightly botweon them. They full on to the Qlacier du l.ion, and when the bodies wero recovered they wore still tied together. With both the erown of the head was cut away us though It had boon done by a sharp instrument. Seller's watch was crushed and his left boot was missing, although the foot was unin jured. Ilow the accident happened will never bo known, as no one saw them slip. I am inclined to think that Seiler was climbing at the same time as lliener, Instead of waltlug until he had a firm hold, and that the former slipped, jerking lliener off his feet I am strengthened in this bo liof by the position of the two as 1 saw them fly past STRAUSS AND HIS DOO. ■torjr of IIm Walt* King and Ilia Fein Inina Adinlren In lloston. When Johann Strauss visited Iioston at the time of the Gilmore jubilee the “Blue Danube” walr.ua wore as well known In this country us “Yankee Doodle," and so when the composer wae found to be a handsome and dap per little men, with lovely blue eyos and a mass of wavy black hulr that was almost aa extravagantly long as Paderewski's, the Boston musical wo men went wild ov er him. Strauss was a great dog-fancier at that time, and was accompanied by a mag nifioent black retriever. Toward the last of the concert days, some enthusiastic young woman sprung the idea of getting a look of Strauss' hair for her locket. The fashion grew into a fad, and Johann promised every applicant a memento. And In due time the looks were dis tributed—many hundreds of them— each one accompanied by the compli ments of the waltz king. Knougli hair had been cut off and distributed to make Strauss look as though ho had been sand-papered. Yet when he left Boston for New York Ills locks were as bushy and profuse as over. It was remarked, however, that when Johann's beautiful blaok-hulred dog was put into the baggage-car, the poor creature looked like a shorn poodle. _ NOW GIRLS, DON’T WORRY. Your licet Defrau ji Your Voice end Your Ualrplna. The Woman’s Cycle association of New York held a meeting to disonss the question whether women cyclers ought to carry policemen's whistles, knives or revolvers. If they will take John Smith's advice they will carry neither. A woman's scream is far more protection to her than a police man’s whistle would be, for it attracts more attention, can bo hoard farther and she is not bo apt to forget to use It in emergencies. There is not one woman in a thousand who could deal on effective blow with a knife against an enemy who was watching and pre pared to resist, so that weapon would be useless. As to revolvers, ordinar ily the person, woman or man, who carrleh one, runs ten times more dan ger of shooting herself or some friend with it than she would incur from highwaymen or similar villains, if she went without one. There are some people who are justified by peculiar eiroumstances in carrying revolvers, but the everyday bioyoler is not No, girls, don't worry about wea pons When you ride wheels tako along a plentiful supply of hairpins and an 18x30 chunck of true bloomer courage, and then, if you run intoany danger, just calmly screech. Odd Names of French Streets. . The French have peculiar notions on the naming of streets, and some curious examples have come to my notice during the last month. When at Chateuadun viewing the president of the republic and his men at the re cent maneuvers I noticed the follow ing names of streets: The Drunken Butcher, the Sow That Cuts Along, All Devils, Love’s alley and the Street Aht Ah! Some of these names also exist at Mans, and I am told that at Boulogne-sur-Mer there is a street with the name Listen if It Uains. In this latter town there is also Tin Pot street. Arm of Gold street, and even the Fleas' Market Sad locratltudc. “I dare say, Mrs. Ticklowell, ob served the intimate friend, “that the pretty little niece from North Caro lina whom you have generously adopted will be a great comfort to you, now that your own children have married and gone out from the pro tecting shadow of the parental roof* tree.” “I—I fear not, Mr. Mow lames,” answered the Boston mother, with deep sadness. “To some extent I have persuaded her not to use the word ‘without’ for ‘unless,’ but if I cannot cure her of the habit of saying *it looks like it is going to rain.’ I shall quite despair of her future 1” CARMEN SYLVA'S HEART.

A llarlinlor firing* Ills Knowledge of IIiiinen Nature Into FI*;, A bachelor is not usually accredited with much knowledge about the proper treatment of children; but sometimes they step In where angels —that is, the mothers of the children — fail to tread. A well-known man about town, who is pretty well on in years, and not very fond of children, stopped in to see a married sister the other day and found her trying to amuse her little boy of about 5 years. Not long after he arrived she stepped out of the room to attend to some household matter or other, leaving him alone with the child. The latter* eyed him dubiously for some minntes. He was a spoiled child if ever thore was one, and he had no idea of mak ing promiscuous acquaintances. The bachelor tried to make the little one laugh, but all he got for his antics wus a sour look. Finally, without warning, the child burst out crying. Hero was a quandary to be sure. He didn't dare to pick the boy up and soothe him. His attempts in a verbal line were dismal failures. What should ho do? Finally a thought struck him. He lookod at the crying youngster and the crying youngster looked at him through his tenrs. lie was evidently much pleased with the impression he was making. "Cry louder,” said he. Tho child obeyed. "Louder yet,” urged the bathelor. A yell went up that would have done credit to an Indian. "Cry louder still," insisted tho man, and tho boy did his best to obey. “Louder!” fairly howled the uncle. "I won’t snapped the infant, and he shut up his mouth with a click and was quiet for the rest of the day. HE LIVED AS A GIRL. Extraordinary Experience of a Youth In the SwUa Alpa. An extraordinary story of a young man passing as a trirl all his life until a month or two ago is related from Treschatel, in the Alpine district of Switzerland. He was known by the name of fiuura llesnar, and came of a good family. Why his friends should have registered the child as a female and subsequently kept up tho decep tion is a matter of mystery. The young man is said to have found the companionship of the weakor sex very pleasant, and would probably have continued to frequent the society of young women as one of their number had not ho fallen in love, but in order to woo and win the lady of his choice he declared hie proper sex. The earlier years of his life wore spent in a convent school, on leaving which he studied a cure for stammer ing and subsequently founded a school for that purpose. This was so successful that in a few years ho amassed 40.000 francs and then decided to study medicine. With this object lie was entered as a student at Gren ople school of medicine as a woman, and to ail outward uppearances was one. His features were distinctly femi nine, and nothing in tho shape of a mustache or whiskers were to be ob served. In every way he comforted himself as a female and seemed quite at ease in the character he assumed. The only thing which might have be trayed him, perhaps, was a slight sus picion of the masculine in his voice. This, however, was scarcely sufficient to attract special notice. Painting Arctic Scenes. Some of the difficulties of pursuing art under disadvantageous circum stances were explained recently by Frank VV. Stokes, who undertook to make a thorough study of arctic ef fects in connection with the Peary expedition. One of his best pictures, he said, would be a moonlight scene on the everlasting snows. To paint this lie had to keep up a porpetual dance before his oasol, making a few dashes with his brush and then shak ing himself vigorously to save him self from being frozen. He declared tho moonlight was the most gorgeous ho had ever seen, being so brilliant that he could easily distinguish his colors, even though they were conventional dark palette. A >ovcl Mustard Pot. * now kind of mustard pot has been made that insures always having fresh mustard. It is the" size of an ordinary mustard pot, and consists of two parts, in tho lower half of which is placed the dry mustard,while in tho neck of the upper part is a small con tainer for the water necessary for mixing, together with a little screw, which, when turned by the consumer, allows the water to escape into the mustard below, the two being amalga mated by a turn or two of the screw. In this way a fresh supply for each meal can bo obtained without waste or trouble, and as the pot can be taken in two in an instant, there is no difficulty about cleaning it. Froseeuted for ul-h Treason. At Taruopol in Galicia a secret so ciety was recently discovered, com posed of some seventy high school boys of which the object was the sep aration of Galic a from the Austrian empire and the establishment of an independent Polish kingdom. The boys met regularly an hour before school, to deliver speeches attacking the emperor and the pope. The gov ernment has actually prosecuted eighteen of them for high treason. .lack-of- All- Trades.
