&tiers and snow fields flushing orange, pink
and scarlet, and their spires and mations
startingly distinct in the cold, clear air, has
been the witness of a spectacle that will never
fade from his memory.
Sir Donald came into fame last June
through the success of two Switzers and a
Canadian in gaining its summit. The Swiss
were Emin Huber and Carl Sulzer., recent
graduates of the Polytechnic in Geneva, and
sturdy fellows, who, having made a record
for themselves among their native Alps,
longed for ether peaks to conquer. When
they heard of the perils that surrounded this
mountain in far -away Columbia, tbey deter-
mined to be the first to climb it, and forth-
with set off across the water. It is a week's
journey from New York to the Selkirks, and
during the trip they had leisnre to compare
this country with their own little republic
—comparisons that were not humiliating to
us either, even in the matter of scenery.
Arrived at Glacier house, they engaged as
guide and helper a young man named Harry
Copper, a hunter from Donald, Ill the Col-
umbia Valley, "the toughest town in Oen-
ada," And after an inspection of Sir Donald
from below they fitted out for a three days'
picnic, and parted with the good wishes of
the people at the station. Each was cloth-
ed in flannel, and wore shoes with soles
nearly an inch thick and studded with hen
nails; each carried a kpapsack with provis-
ions, a blanket, a cell of ropes, and 0.11 ice
axe. Huber was ladenwith a photographic
camera weighing fourteen pounds, Sulzer
carried barometers and other instrtunents,
and Cooper "packed," a shelter tent
Striking toward the flhiciliiwaet glacier
through a noble forest, many of the trees
standing as straight as 'nests, -with over a
hundred feet of timberbetween root and top,
they scaled the thickly wooded slope at the,
nab, and on its crest tbey pitched their tent
and dropped their impedimenta, going
thence to the suinmit of Eagle Peak, a
wicked looking mountain with a rook poised
on its ridge, that from beneath resembles e
fat hen op a roost. That is Why it is called
Eagle Peak. Tins ascent was made merely
t9 get a more comprehensive view of Sir
Donald, and to study a feasible way to the
top of it, but after returning to their . tent
ey resolved to make a thole:tie job of it,
and spent another nay in traversing the out
works of the mountain to make sure the

stood on.
This Sir Donald glacier is narrow and
long and steep. se steep at its head that one
can occultist! e • tne presence of ice -there
only by the compacting of snow and freezing
of water that is dammed by its foot. Its ,
right batik is a precipice, its left &juts into ;
space and masses of ice are continually
crumbling offend falling over the cliff. The
slope of the shelf that it hes upon gives it a
northward fall, then it turns toward the
west and finally conies down a 11111Wily fac-
ing south and disappears, two distinct
angles being formed in its course of perhaps
a mile. This ice stream is matched in singu-
larity by one that descends a face of Mt.
Stephen, a castellated rock 13,000 feet high, ;
that stands 85 miles east of Sir Donald, and
is yet to be climbed by any man who wants ;
to risk his precious neck in doing it. The
Mt. Stephen glacier starts near the summit, I
falls rapidly for half a mile, and comes to '
the edge of a vertical precipice a thousand
feet in height. In the forward movement of
the glacier, twelve or eighteen inches a day,
e tongue of me is thrust over the edge of the
cliff, and when it projects a few feet it breaks
of its own weight and falls on the stony de-
bris below. Though none of the glaciers of
the Selkirks that have been measured prove
to be as large as the Glacier du Rhone or
the Meade Glace, they ore as strairge and

truly was the figure seated motionless in the
center of the room. Gorgeously elaborate
was her array from head to foot, the former
crowned with a helmet -like erection of a Ina-
terial resembling turquoise enamel, 'wrought
into the finest filigree work, from which pro-
jected glittering artificial beetles aura but-

From the brim of this headgear fell all

about half a plea in length. Just visible
through tbese at the bank were broad loops
of jet black hairt stiff and solid as polished

Her principal vestment was, a long tunic,
whose foundation fabric of crimson satin
was seereely discernible, and its embroidery
of gold.. A corner turned .back, lined with
emerald satin, revealed an -underskirt pan-
eled in brilliant red satin- and blue silk, this
also profusely trimmed with gold embroidery
A belt of scarlet satin, .studded with tablets
of white corneliamerossed the waist behind.
From the front edge of her headdress a red
silk veil fell almost to the ground, mining

The Ring in Ys Not.
A good story reaches the London, Tronian
from the somewhat out-onthe-way region of
Pei:ohne. Early last week 'all was going
merrily at a very interesting wedding in the
town until, the bridegroom was called upon
to prodnce the wedding ring. In vain he
felt in his trousers pocket for the missing
trifle. Nothing could be found except a
hole through which the ring- had evidently
fallen into the high boot which is affected
by young men of that county. What was

The suspense and sileece were painful. The
organist, at the pi•iest's. bidding, struck up

The young man, sitting on the altar rails,
removed his boot, the ring was found—also

tones were doubly dear,
There falls upon the listening ear
A silence never fe:t before.
It is not that the souses strain
To catch a sound they may not hoar;

That longs andlistens still in vain.
And lel this silence, sudden grown.
Threads ovary cry of joy or tear;
All wonted sounds that greet the car
Break with a wailing undertone.

my griefs theniselves will grow Olden in

cause, and wilt find Some nobler atonement
between them than vile forgetfulness or the
death of love. Lord, let me help those that

Forgive me, but hem' is the latest: A
stream near Benton, Tenn., is full of phan-
tom fish. Standing on the rocks and
looking down into the water the eye
can see hundreds of trout, some of them re-
markably large, darting about the pools or
resting with the gentle maim peculiar to
their tribe. The angler casts his line in
these pools literally smarming with fish, to
all appearances, and no matter how attrac-
tive the fly or how skillful the fisherman, he
never gets a bite. As plentiful as they seem
to be, no one has ever yet been able to catch
a trout in that stream. The fish pay no at-
tention to the hook or line, and when the
bait is thrown at them or an attempt is niade
to epear thein the instrument has the ap-
pearance of passing through the fish, but he
is not caught; when the barb or spear is re-
moved he is stillthere. •
