Now that ve were within a few miles of Shasta it did not look BO wholly- white. Its snows were plowed by. many a vockv ridge not pereeptable at a greater distance. It did not, howev- et, lose its supernatural appearance thereby, but rather gained kn effect more startling by the sharp contrast of lava roek and sweeps of snow. Shas­ ta was named by Russian travelers, the proper derivation of the word being Tcheste, meaning chaste, pure. It is the culminating peak of the coast and Sierra ranges, and has an altitude of 14,444 feet. Its glaciers extend for more than two miles down its slopes. We sat for an hour on the hotel porch trying to familiarize ourselves with this strange mountain, but its unearth­ ly aspect aid not change for us. "It is terrible to be up there," said Hal, with almost a shudder. "One is in no danger of forgetting the experi­ ence. As I was following that lava ridge this side of the Devil's Thumb I saw far off on the snow a black object about the size of my finger, wriggling and staggering about, falling flat occa­ sionally, and then resuming its fantas­ tic gyrations. I observed it carefully and discovered the object was forked; and then it flashed through me that it was a man climbing a glacier. When our party reached the deft peak that forms the summit we were met by a perfect avalanche of clouds that tossed and tumbled about, giving a ghostly indistinctness to everything. We ap­ peared to be in a world of unrealities, peopled by shadowy creatures that lengthenea and contracted, and flung about their vast, white wings above the sickening fumes that steamed up from the hissing, spurting hot springs at our feet. A momentary parting of the clouds showed the sky blue as in­ digo, closing down in awful nearness. Through a revolving glare the blood- red sun swung in the frightful purple of the heavens. Fronting these unac­ customed elements a solemn dignity ! >ossessed thesoul and gave a conscious eeling of infinitude. The loss of all familiar landmarks lent an indescriba­ ble terror to the scene. This dead vol- - cano's throat is choked with snow. On its icy rim one of the ladies slipped and fell headlong over the fearful chasm. The guide caught her by one of her feet. Her escape from a horri­ ble death was almos miraculous. We were nearly frozen with the cold, and yet our mouths were parched and hot as in a desert. Our hearts throbbed painfully and we drew our breath in gasns. "Before w6 commenced the descent .afierce blast tore the mists asunder, revealing the grandest picture we shall v«r behold on earth. From this ma* jestic temple we could see hundreds of miles of kaleidoscopic landscape. Riv­ ers, valleys, and mountains,with spurs of rocky ridges cutting through tawny farms far away; green meadows star­ red with lakes; and billowy ranges running toward the sea, while fifty miles of dense pine forests spanned the McCloud and Pitt to touch the snowy heads of the Sierras. And Ore­ gon's rich prairies linked to ours by a chain of silver-surfaced lakes; to the south, beyond the mighty Lassen Buttes, we catch a glimpse of dusky plains, with isles of clustering peaks. Three times I have seen this, and yet I feel an irresistible desire to go again. In spite bf the labor and exhaustion Attending the ascent, the vision from the top is worth the effort. We slowly descended the mountain, gazing silently toward Mount Shasta until the intervening firs shut off our view. The train was two hour late that night, and as I turned from bidding Hal good-by we saw a radiant mantle fall on Shasta's head from the depart­ ing sun. "And the glory of the Lord was like devouring fare on the top of the mount!" lie quoted solemnly, and with­ in its reflected light we parted hands. --Ninctta Eames in the Overland. The Force of Natural Gas. Although the wells about Findlay are under control, the tubing is an­ chored, and the awful force is neld un­ der by gates and levers of steel, it is impossible to escape a feeling of awe in this region at the subterranean ener­ gies whicb seem adequate to blow the whole country heavenward. Some of the wells were opened for us. Open­ ing a well is unscrewing the service- pipe and letting the full force of the gas issue from the pipe at the mouth of the well. When one of these wells is thus opened the whole town is aware of it by the roaring and the quaking of the air. The first one exhibited was in a field a mile and a half from the city. At the first freedom from the screws and clamps the gas rushed out in such densitj' that it was visible. ̂ Although we stood several rods from it, the roar was so great that one could not make himself heard shouting in the ear of his neighbor. The -geologist stuffed cotton in his ears and tied a shawl about his head, and, assisted by the chemist,stood close to the pipe to measure the flow. The chemist, who had not taken the precaution to pro­ tect himself, was quite deaf for some time after the experiment. A four- inch pipe, about 60 feet in length, was then screwed on, ancL the gas ignited as it issued from tte end on the ground. The roaring ivas as before. For several feet from tlih end of the tube there was no il;\nie,J but beyond was a sea of (ire sweeping the ground and rioting high iu the air--billows of red and yellow and blue flame, tierce and hot enough to consume evenrthing within reach. It was an awful display of power. We had a like though only a momen­ tary display at the famous Karg well, an eight-millipn-feet well. This could only be turned on for a few seconds at a time, for it is in connection with the general system. If the g;is is turned pff, the fires in houses and factories woyld go out, and if it were turned on again without notice, the rooms would be full of gas, and an explosion follow an attempt to relight it. This danger is now being removed by the invention of an automatic valve in the pipe wp- which wiU <£cn* llfl IOCK when tne now ot gas ceases, ana admit no more gas until it is opened. The ordinary pressure for house ser- vicie is about two pounds to the square inch. The Karg well is on the bank of the creek, and the discharge-pipe through which the gas (though not in its full force) was turned for our as­ tonishment extends over the water. The roar was like that of Niagara; all the town shakes when the Karg is loose. When lighted, billows of flame rolled over the water, brilliaut in color and fantastic in form, with a fury and rage of conflagration enough to strike the spectator with terror. I have nev­ er seen any other display of natural force so impressive as this. When this flame issues from an upright pipe, the great mass of fire rises eighty feet fnto the air, leaping and twisting in fiend­ ish fury. For six weeks after this well m«8 first opened its constant roaring shook the nerves of the town, and by- night its flaming torch lit up the heav­ en and banished darkness. With the aid of this new agent anything seems possible.--Charles Dudly" Warner, in Hcugwr's Magazine. Western Heroin !̂* When Tlvomas Hardy's novel, "Far from the Madding Crowd," was pub­ lished, Bathsheba was recognized as a heroine of new and facinating quality. Bathsheba was beautiful, managed her own estate, went to market, danc­ ed her samples of grain up and down in her own white hand, and of course won the hearts of all the squires with whom she bought and sold. According to the western papers Bathshebas are as common as silver mines in the territories. From timid, half-scared girls, they become eattle queens, landlords, great farmers, mighty hunters, enter politics; in fact do whatsoever their fancy pleaseth them, and without losing any of those womanly attributes which make them attractive to the men of that country. These general assertions come backed up by special instances. Of such is a western girl who took up a homestead claim in Montana, and extended it in time to the limited 640 acres and went to sheep raising. This prospered to such an extent that she sent cast for a brother to be her overseer. Meanwhile other matters were progressing. On the next ranch was a young bachelor, also a sheep raiser. It seemed easier to use one brand than two, so they joined flocks and hands, and the sheep now run in happy harmony over a farm of 1,280 acres. Then there is Miss Catharine Wil- kins of Idaho, whose father gave her a colt when she was a baby. Kitty is now of age, and the start that colt gave her in life has made her the own- tor of nearly one thousand head of fine blooded horses, besides a large herd of cattle. Miss Kitty now employs thirty- five herders and co wboys, besides keep­ ing a general oversight of her wealth herseli. Another woman, Mrs. Ira McLane, bid for a number of Montana mail con­ tracts and got them. These contracts run through a populous but rough country, but there seems no doubt but that plucky Mrs. McLane is going to succeed. A Chicago saleswoman is another of the Montana heroines. Going to Boee- man as a school teacher, she eventual­ ly announced herself as a candidate for county superintendent, and was elected. In fact, neither sdx, race nor previ­ ous condition is any bar to a woman in the west. The Garfield lode, which is one of the promising mining proper­ ties at Yago, is ownied by a negress, Millie Ringgold, who has a reputation in the mining districts as a wise pros­ pector. Millie is one of the pioneers. She washes, keeps hotel and handles a pick and spade like a man. * Her suc­ cessful location and purchase of Gain­ ing properties, it is believed, will yet make her a mining queen.. Life in the west brings out all the sterling qualities of a woman. A wo­ man belonging to one of the best known families in town, gay and pret­ ty, a belle in her circle, went with her husband as post trader to a far western fort Leaving the fort they became ranchers. They had a large family of children and generally no servant. She cooked, sewed, taught her children and entertained liospitablv. A blizzard descending at the lambing season, she rode twelve mile at night with a cow­ boy in a buckboard to the herding ground, earrying blankets and bottles, and worked with the herders to save the flock. Tlie united efforts were un­ availing. Thousands of dollars worth of cattle were destroyed that night The family returned to the city and this brave lady is again a woman of fashion and easy hospitality.* "I am going to give the new pastor a piece of my mind," said young Mr. Hotspur. "O, don't do that; give him all of it, and give it to him in vacation when he doesn't have to think," said Deacon Goodheart. Arid young Mr. Hotspur has since intimated to the building committee aud the chorister that he thinks Deacon Goodheart isn't spiritual-minded enough f<|| --Burdette. v-' The Hurrah The "Hurrah Girl" is the latest Of course you have seen her, ifyoudonot know her. She creates a furor wherever she goes, and she goes almost every­ where. She leads iu conversation and talks loudly and for effect In the drug store she calls for three or four kinds of sirup in her soda and in the dry goods store she gossips with the clerk and begs, aye demands, a score of samples. In" the street-car she makes a show of declining the seat tendered by some dude, ,but she seats herself with alacrity just the same. She can talk on almost any subject, particularly ou masculine themes, and attends the" base-ball games regularly. On the street she rushes along pell- mell, greeting her acquaintances vo­ ciferously, and she is "proud of the at­ tention she attracts. She is sarcastic, and wo to the individual who dis­ pleases her! The "Hurrah Girl" is a new-comer, but every girl hits her dav, and this particular girl will probably have as short a day as her unlamenteu sister, the girl of the (late) period.--tyrf- falo Iflift Hone of Z âooMb To the country at large Sj is distinguished as the home ham Lincoln to an extent pe fully realized by the residents growing capital, with its ever terests. And I was perhaps til ably disappointed in not finding; sense of his personality that I It is, indeed, emphasized by the Capitol and by the great leum in the cemetery--an im1 structure, with an excellent bronze, and four groups, relating to the civil war, of uncommon merit. But this great monumental show does not satisly the personal lonrieg of which I speak. Nor is the Lincoln residence much more satisfactory in this respect. The plain two-itory wooden house has been presented the State by his son Robert, and is charge of a custodian. And al' the parlor is made a show-room full of memorials, there is no atmos­ phere of the man about it On Lin­ coln's departure for Washington the furniture was sold and the hdHtielteitt- cd, never to be again occupied bjrfcim. There is here nothing of that personal presence that clings to the Hermitage, to Marshfield, to Mount Vernon, to- Monticello. Lincoln was given to the nation, and--a frequent occurrence in our uprooting business life--the home disappeared. Lincoln was honoamf and beloved in Springfield as a man, but perhaps some of the feeling toward him as a party leader still lingers, al­ though it has disappeared almost everywhere else in the country. No­ where else was the personal partisan­ ship hotter than in this city, and it is hardly to be expected that political foes in this generation should quite comprehend the elevation of Lincoln, in the consenting opinion of the world, among the greatest characters of all ages. It has happened to Lincoln that every year and a more intimate knowl­ edge of his character have added to his fame and to the appreciation ot his moral grandeur. There is a natural desire to go to some spot pre-eminent­ ly sacred to his personality. This may be his birthplace. At any rate, it is likely that before many yeats /Ken­ tucky will be proud to distinguish in some way the spot where the fills be­ gan of the most illustrious man bom in its borders.--Charles Dudley Warner m Harper's Magazine. AnollierGBfelhrHydroplHMst For the treatment of the bites mad-dogs Dr. A. H. Newth recom­ mends the use of hyposulphites. To a child who had been bitten, by; dog he would give fiveo^lttfcj the hyposulphite of sodhtoii urn (the latter U richer "" acid), in caraway wa every lourJumM for ' four days, then three week, then every morning early one month; recommending a Turkish bath twice a week. After the disease has developed he.would prescribe tlie hyposulphite every hour, with hot-air baths to induce perspiration. The hypodermic injection of- hi i might also be tried, especially if the pa­ tient is unable to swallow. Dr. Newton claims to have used this. remedy repeatedly in cases of blood* poisoning with the most marked suc­ cess, as, for example, a patient has re­ ceived a punctured wound which has inflamed, the lymphatics have become swollen and reddened, the parts are extremely painful.and there are rigors. Within a short time after the exhibi­ tion of the hyposulphites the pain has decreased, the parts are less inflamed, and symptoms of poisoning have aba­ ted.--Quincy Herald. Forcing the Issue. ii A Brush street boy with a pteee of ? black cloth on his hat was playing In front of the house the other day when a man stopped $nd inquired; "Are you in mourning, bub?" "Yes, sir." "Father or mother?" "Neither." "Oh, it's a brother or sister?" "No, sir. I've put it on to see if grandpa won't die and give us a rest."--Detroit Free Press. Canned Shrimps. '•Where is shrimp canned, and asked a New York Mail young man of a Fulton Market fish merchant the other day. He replied that they were packed iu New Orleans, whence .thw are shipped to all parts of the world. , The dealer added: "The shrimps run in large schools, near the surface of the water, down in the numerous passes that find their way into the gulf of Mexico, and are caught by 'dagos' with their seines, who frequently will in one haul bring- in enough to till their lugger, a flat- bottomed boat with a square sail. Ott reaching the factories, many of which are built on the docks, the shrimps ar© placed in long troughs, where girls with one expert wrench twist oflfthe heads and with a firm pressure at the tail force out the shrimp. They are paid by the pound forall thatafetaken in this manner, some making as nifuch as 25 cents an hour. After being take d from the shells the shrimps are placed in a vat of salted water, where they are cooked by means of steam-pipes run­ ning through the vats. The shrimps then are put into llitle gauze bags, each bag just large enough to fill the inside of a can, there being so much phosphorus in the shrimp that unless precautions were taken the tin would be eateu through by its action and the contents spoiled. After the shrimps are placed in the cans they are her­ metically sealed, all this work being, done by machinery. They are then put into a large tank and once more put through a second steaming process, ten times hotter than the firstj|k> that, they become thoroughly cooked be­ fore being put on the market They are then reAdy for labeling and box­ ing. "Some idea of the magnitude of tMa business can be inferred when it |» known that during the shrimp season* which consists of about two UMMlw| Ilk the spring and the same time I® "the fall, over 100,000 cans a day are |Mtk«4 in New Orleans alone. Red pepper is appr summer season, because it t^t of them all.- #«'2*r>$. Wm «r 1 v'J^n ,1'^Z 'J:*.*, . .-W.T »
