"The layman who is unacquainted with newapaper Metitoas may be interested in knowing just how one goes about making a piece of news," says Allen Sangree in Ainslee's "'rife best _illustra- tion of this,- perhaps, is Arthur Brisbane's arrangement foe John L. Sullivan to box before the Prince of Wales. At this time Mr. Brisbane was Lenders correapondent for the New York Sun...It should be un- derstood that the competition among the London representatives is just as keen as though they were serving their separate papers -On Park eon's and, though Haring in an atmosphere of lets _aggressive jour- nalism, they never for e moment -forget their American education. In.thia matter Mr. Brisbane was actuated by no other motive than to triumph over his rivals • • with a legitimate beat; and be .found the great American bruiser but too glad. to second the idea On the percentage of free advertisernent. The Sue man worked quietly, quickly and so snccessfully that the night for the performance name with- out .any one knowing of it excepting the _Prince, his friends and the members. oi the . fashionable .club thatEiieltered the twelve foot ring. - •"At the moment when the referee step- ped out to announce the fighters the prince's equerry discovered that there • was present an untitled person, and, what Was more deplorable, a newspaper man. As the result of this discovery Mr. Bris- bane was ordered to leave 'the club in- stantly. he objected, 'I tun responsible for the whole thing... You are not going to put me out?' •• 'The equerry would not hear him, and Mr. Brisbane, desperate and engry,.play- ed his last card. 'Well, John;' he said, turning to where the champion stood toy - ilia with one huge pickled paw, -Tye got • to go. What'll .you do?' " 'That's -wbat I'll dor replied the champion of the world, Picking up his mat and glaring savagely at the equerry. 'If that young feller goes, then I'll go, understan'?' And the audience was dis- mayed to -see the -fighter and reporter abandon the ringside. It would not do, however, to disappoint his royal highness so disgracefully, and the equerry and Mr. Brisbane filially compromised by the latter promising toaarite the account only for the American press. Thee5un of coupe had a great beat next day, and ev- ery newspaper in America ,end 'England quoted -the anecdote of John L. Sullivan's reception by Albert Edward. "Mr. Sullivan's speech at that period had extreme limitations, and when intro- duced to -a distinguished person he inva- riably used the same set phrase.

SKILL, PRUDENCE AND EXPERIENCE • NECESSARY TO SUCCESS. The Dangers and the Perils of Ascent and the Method,. of Avoiding Thera Described by a Veteran Alpinist. How Accidents Happen. Mountain climbing is a craft which has a twofold object -the attainment of the point which it is desired -to reach and the neeidance of accident In so doing. The first is gained by skill, the second by pru- dence and experience. Accidents are caused either by things failing upon the climber Or by the climber himself falling. When 1 speak of accidents, I mean practically unavoidable misfortunes. More than half the deaths that annually occur on the Alps are caused by neglect of the most rudimentary precautions and are not properly accidents. True Alpine acci- dents are those" which occur in spite of foresight and precaution. They have al- ways been few, and when the continually increasing number of climbers is reckoned they may be said to decrease rather than increase in frequency. - The things that by falling upon a climb - Ing party may produce fatal results are rocks, ice and snow. All rock mountains are falling to pieces -some faster than others -under the alternate frost and thaw. 'Water trickles into cracks on a warm. day. At night it freezes and in freezing expands. It thus acts like a wedge to widen the credo and tear rocks asunder. Thus the --who)e face of most rock mountains is cumbered with loose stones balanced on ledges to fall when the least impulse is applied. One stone in motion starts others and theyin turn many more;- In this manner a whole rock face may be swept by myriads of falling rock's of all shapes and sizes. Such falls are fairly common on the east face of the Matterhorn. That Is why the route fol- lowed up it keeps as- close as possible to ; the edge of the face. Rock faces are usually furrowed with tracks called gullies and couloirs, worn by the stones falling down them. If a gtilly Le straight, stories generally fall down the middle of it, and the sides may be elitnbed in comparative safety. Some faees of rock are less liable to be acme swept than others. An experieneed climber knows the signs of danger. When there is much recently fallen snow on a rock face, stones do not fall so often as when the snow is all melted away. A good climber bears all these facts in mind and knows what to look out for. As with stones, so with ice. It does not fall anywhere and anyhow. It has •its habits, which may be learned by ob- servation. Except in the lower part of a glacier ice seldom appears on the surface. People talk vaguely of ice wheu they mean hard frozen snow. Where a glacier descends a very steep and uneven slope it breaks up into great lumps of ice, which are called seracs. Seracs often tumble, but seldom in the early part of the day. It is generally easy to perceive -whether a given serac is ready to fall ..or whether it is firm, A well chosen route avoids the track where the serae may be expected to fall. The crests of some nar- row snow ridges are fringed with an overhanging wave of ice, called a cornice. Cornices grow slowly by accretion of snowflakes. When they become too big, they fall, and woe to the man on whom they fall! The wise man does not pass under a great cornice. nF Mug snow is called a snow ava- ., Devereux BLACKSMITH and CARRIAGE opp. MAKER 1:41! • - &Worth.

The summer avalanches fall after fresh now has accumulated during bad weather. Ayalanches, however, seldom fall on climbers. Usually an accident is caused by the climbing party starting an avalanche. Professor Tyndall nearly lost las life in. this way. He was crossing a Om slope of snow In the afternoon, aft- er it had been softened by hot sunshine. It cracked across, and the whole surface -a foot deep or so -slid down, carrying his party with it. By good luck they es- caped from the rear of the avalanche be- fore reaching the edge of a cliff, oyer: which it tell. A prudent climber avoids crossing rotten snow slopes that are steep. Most accidents, however, are caused by falls from rocks, ice or snow. Careful climbers seldom fall from. rocks. They do not undertake ascents that are beyond the skill of their party. If the guides are good enough for the particular climb, two of them. will render any tolerable clirnber safe by proper use of the rope. While they are moving he keeps still. When he moves, they reraain firmly planted and draw in the rope as he advances. If he slips, they easily hold him. A fall from ice is less easy to check. The dangerous places are steep slopes of • real ice -hard blue ice like the surface of a frozen pond set up at an angle. Steps cut in such material are themselves quite slippery. It a slope of this kind is very long and takes perhaps hours to ascend, the time comes when carelessness in fca- ing or balance may lead to a slip. If the man ahead is immediately above the one who slips, he can hold him easily, but if the ascent, as is probable, is being made diagonally, a slip is more difficult to ar- rest, and the whole party will be in great peril. From slopes or ridges of now men are not likely to fall unless they are over- thrown by a sudden blast of storm, a has happened once or twice. Even then a fall may be arrested by using the ax as a brake if the surface of the snow be not too hard frozen. The chief danger on snow is that you may fall through it into a hidden crevasse. It sometimes hap- pens after a fresh fall of snow that a crevasse is completely covered up so that not a sign of it can be perceived even by the most experienced eye. Against this peril, however, there is one certain pro- tection. It is the rope, rightly used. If the members of a party are joined, aa above tlae snow line they always should be, by a good rope firmly knotted round the waist of each, with a distance of from ten to fifteen feet between a man and his neighbor, and it the rope be not allowed to dangle on the ground, it will be a mat- ter of indifference whether one falls into a crevasse or not. Before he is more than waist deep the rope .will hold him, and he will be able to scramble out with- out difficulty or damage. - Sir Martin Conway in London Mail. 6R1P-QUININE TABLETS ri.Coon Cotton Boot Compound Is successfully used monthly by over 0,000Ladies.
