Ascending Mont Blanc
It is an expansive as well as, a very
tiresome undertaking to ascend. Mont
Blanc. It costs at least fi'ty dollars a
person, for by the law of the commune
of Chamouni, each stranger is obliged
to have two guides and a porter. So far
as the. danger is concerned it is n iw re
duced to a minimum, but almost every
year the mountain claims a victim. I Sad
weather is the chief thing feared by
the guides, and so swiftly does it, come
that a cloudless sky may in fifteen min
utes turn to a blinding snowstorm
which beats you to the ground. Thus
it was that some years ago a party of
eleven persons perished. Five were
found frozen stiiT in the snow; the
other six lie buried in the Glacier des
Boissons. Forty years is the time al
lowed for the glacier to yield them up
in the valley below.

MRS. LATON'S- TEA.
Ensconced in the depths of her big
arm chair, a smile lighting up her fine
old face that her white hair framed
with a crown of snow, Mrs. Harmon
was considering her nephew Andrew,
a good-looking young fellow of 2S,
who. for his part, was considering the
timepiece on the mantel, whose hands
were already past three o'clock.
"Well, Andrew, do you find the clock
very interesting?"'
In some confusion the y;;unjr man
stammered an excuse, but went on:
"Xow. don't deny it. you naughty fel
low. Von wanted to knw if your visit
hail lasted long enough for you to take
your departure decently."
-Not. at on. aunt. lour guoss is
quite wrong, for I haven't the .-slightest
intention of going yet. Hut why do
you keep a regular sun dial like that
in your drawing-room?"
"Perhaps because I was born so long
ago that it is I and not the clock that is
behind time. But come instead of
criticising my drawing-room, tell me
what you are going to do wheu you
leave' here."
'ln the first place. I am not going to
leave here for some time; but when I
have wearied you with my presence
until you cannot stand it any longer,
it will be time for me to go to Mrs. La
ton's tea."
"Mrs. Laton Pauline Laton?"
"The same."
"Ah. yes, I used to see her some time
ago. I remember her vaguely a large
woman, dark '
"She is a blonde, aunt."
"Indeed? She used to be a brunette.
And so you are sighing at the feet of
Mrs. Laton ?" ... . -
"We are all sighing at her feet."
"She must enjoy it."
"Well, I rather think she does."
; "Is it fun?"
"Yes, after a fashion. We are always
the same little circle of friends, and
then, besides Mrs. Laton. there's a sis
ter,, a rather good-looking girl, and a
few other voung matrons and bachelor
girls." '
"And what do you do besides look at
these women?"
i "We take tea, which we moderate
with rum, a bit of lemon; we gossip and
we flirt."
"Oh, oh." -
,"But. my dear aunt, one must do
something between five o'clock and
dinner."
"Evidently, and flirting w what you
have found to do."
"It is a way to kill time."
1 "I scarcely know what you mean by j
the teem. Explain it to me."
, "Oh. impossible. A definition for the
word has long been sought, but it has
not yet been found. But. given a young
twoman tete-a-tete with a voung man
who is not a fool, and I warrant you it
won't be long before you will have a
practical demonstration.' Flirtation is
a manner of being discreetly indiscreet.
To know how to flirt is no common ac
complishment. It is a veritable sci
ence." "And is love a science, too?"
"Xo, it is rather an art."
"And marriage what is it?"
"Oh, that is philosophy."
"Indeed? At what age does one at
tain this philosophy?"
"As late as possible.
"It seems to me that at SS "
"Aunt, aunt!" cried Andrew, spring
ing from hi chair. '"confess that you
are concocting some terrible plot. You
look as guilty as a conspirator."
Mrs. Harmon smiled a fine smile and
enjoyed for a moment the consterna
tion in her victim's face. Then she an
swered, after a pause:
"Yes, you are right. I wish you to
get married." '
"In heaven's name what have I done
to you?" gasped the young man, with
comic seriousness; and. as the. old lady
still smiled, he continued: "See here,
aunt. I should never have suspected
you of such a thing. You, a woman of
intelligence, a superior woman, de
scending to the role of match-maker!
It is a terrible shattering of my Ideals."
, "Come. come, my poor boy. do not be
so cast down. The girl is charming, I
can assure you."
' "Of course," Andrew burst out, "the
girl is always charming. Oh, I Itnow
her; I can sec her now; she may not be
exactly pretty, but, as you have said,
she is charming. She dresses admira
bly, and makes all her own gowns. 'She
stood at the head of her classes in
school, and attends lectures now. More
over, she has taken cooking lessons and
can put up preserves. She plays the
piano, she sings, she paints, and she has
a tidy fortune in her own right. Bah!
Xo,' a thousand times, no! I do not
want this miracle of perfection. I
know a thinar or two, aunt, even if I
don't look it, and if I marry, I shall
marry a woman who suns me. nut. i
know girls they are all alike and I
know what they are and what they are
worth. There isn't one who suits me,
or can suit me, and I shall remain a
bachelor."
"And you go to take tea at Mrs.
Laton's," murmured Mrs. Harmon be
tween her teeth, while a disturbing ex
pression enme into her clear-seeing old
eyes.
Under this ironical and even inquisi
torial look Andrew lost countenauce a
little; he could not deny that to matri
mony he preferred flirting with Mrs.
Laton.
. He was pulling himself together to re
ply, or rather to defend himself, when
the street door bell was heard.
"A caller, eh? Is this your reception
day, aunt, or do you, too, give your
friends tea at five o'clock ?"
"You are impertinent, nephew. At
my age a woman does not give 'five
o'clock flirtations. It is not even a
caller. I am sure it is my little friend
Rosamond, the 'charming girl' I spoke
of."
"I shall flee, then."
"Do you not wish even to s.ee her?"
"Never: Or, if you insist, I shall go
into this little ante-room and look at

and the young man stepped (jtilcl.iy liiic

"How do you do, Mrs. BannonV' tu:d
the girl, as hhe entered the roam! ''I
have brought back the little hooks on
the orplvin asylum that you lent
mamma. May I stay a moment with
you?"
She continued to keep her back to
ward Andrew, and he, now beginning
to get tired of the game, had about con
cluded" that she must be frightfully
ugly.
'Sit down here, dear, beside me," end
Mrs. Harmon easily contrived to place
the girl just opposite the small room;
and the young man, approaching his
eye to the crack, was struck by the
pretty face he beheld.
"Well, Rosamond, w hat are you doing
nowadays? Are you going out much?"
"Xo. very little. I had a card forMrs.
Laton's tea this afternoon, but 1 wrote
her I was ill. You will not betray me,
will you?" and she laughed a merry
laugh, that set Andrew's heart to vi
brating. "Do you not care for such affairs?"
asked Mrs. Harmon.
"Surely, Mrs. Harmon, you do not
think it would be amusing to spend an
hour or two w atching Mrs. Luton's flir
tations, with no one to talk to but the
insipid woman and stupid men of her
set?"
."You are severe, my child."
"Severe? Well, with a woman like
Mrs. Laton I do not think one can be too
much so."
Instinctively Mrs. n.trnion raised her
eyes to the door that concealed Andrew,
and, under pretext of arranging the
portiere, she crossed the room, and, as
she rearranged the drapery, whispered
to her nrphew: "It's nearly lirci-you"ll
be late for your tea.
But her wnrnirg was unheeded; An
drew did not budge. As for the girl by
the fire, she was still full of her idea.
"Do you know Mrs. Laton, Mrs.
Harmon V" she asked.
"Yes. yes" the old lady hastened to
reply; and to tun the conversation she
went on: "But you are wrong to de
clare that all men are Mnpid.. There
ore some who are quite sensible."
"Sensible? Well, 1 don't know them, j
I Co rot mean that they nrepll stunid. j

that they ore wearisome. They are j

smerrs paint on her face as if it were

for nothing but to devise outrageous
gowes."
Again Mrs. Harmon cost aV uneasy
glance towurd the little room, in which
Andrew was fast waxing anry. He
Would have liked to strangle 1his girl,
whosi suM-rb hcnlth and triumphant
beauty irritated him.
"And when will you get married, my
dear?" suggested Mrs. Harmon, again
thrown? herself into the breach.
"I shall nevertnarry."
"Indeed? Why not?"
My Ttot?" repeated Rosamond, a
shatlow of melancholy coming over the
loee that Andrew admired in spite, of
hhr.Si.lf. "Because I am a Vltle fool
who cannot do nr the rent do 1 would
wish to love my husband ad to bave
him love me. I would wish to morry
a man w hom 1 should single out from
among the rest for his goodness ant! in
telligence. I would wish to have con
fidence in him.nnd above all be proud of
him."
As the girl spoke she had become ani
mated with a gentle exaltation, which
was not without its effect on the young
man behind the door.
"Well, Rosamond," snid Mrs. Hanr.on,
"why do you not realize yourdieam?"
'"Because there are no young men
nowadays wlio care to look for a girl
who pleaFCB them. Marrtpge for them
is a matter of .business, nothing more,
and the woman herself does not count.
They marry when they have lost their
money, nud the little heart tJicy jxs
scsscd has been frittered away on some
Mrs. Laton or another."
Again Mrs. Harmon arose, and, pre
tending she had an order to give, ex
cused herself and hastened to her
nephew.
"Well, aunt, she lias given, us a nice
dressing down, eh? For a 'charming
girl, I would back her against the

"Hurry, Andrew; it is late, and you
have almost missed your tea."
"My tea!" he repeated. "Bother my
tea! Is there nothing else in the world
but my tiea? Now, you must find an
excuse to bring" me into the room, and
I'll show that young threw whether
all men are fools. Oh, she need have
no fear, I shall not try to rrnirry her,
for I still have all my hair, a. little
money, and a heart still intact,"
Mrs. Harmon could not refrain a
smile at the young man's vexation, and
five minutes later Andrew entered the
drawing-room.
But, contrary to expectations, the
conversation did not become a war of
words; on the contrary, the girl's fresh
gayety disarmed Andrew's lunger at
once, nts preconception fled before her
dimpled smiles and her gentte voice,
and he soon fell under her charm, for
getting his anger in his admiration for
her graceful movements, the penetrat

her wit.

ftullwuy Aci-iilent Canned !y Heat.
A piKsenger train on the North Brit
ish railway met with a curious accident
which engineers attribute to the intense
heat which prevailed on that day. The
train when rounding a curve left the
rails and ran on the ballast- for nearly
4U0 fin t before it coukl be stopped. This
state of thing was brought about by the
spreading cf the rails from expansion
caused by tiie heat. According to.the
rcp-ort the thermometer on that day
and at that, poirrf registered 128 degrees.
The derailing occurred at noon while
the track wes exposed to the full rays
of the sun. The expansion took place
within a few hours, as an inspector had
passed over the road during the fore
noon, and everything appeared to he
in the usual coudition. As the train!
approached the spot the engineer saw
the rails were badly warped, and al
though he at once applied the brake, it
was too late to stop. The curious feature
of the mishap was that the engine re
mained on the track, having gone safe
ly over the spread rails. In connection
with Ihis account comes the statement
that th-3 road had not been kept in the
very Ix-st condition. N. Y. Ledger.

Editor Mail: In ao issue of your paper of
recent date your correspondent at Eagle Point
said tbat there was "Irregularities in the dis
tribution of the mail In our postofflce above
here." You will see that the above makes al
most a direct attack a poo the Brownsboro
postofhce. In reply I will say that the assertion
is wholly nnlrue as applies to this office, and
I shall ask of your correspondent that he furn
ish me with the name of his informant, as I
shall demand that the statement be proven or
an apology offered. As It now stands It is a
gross insult to those who are trying to do their
duty hones Jy. I think 1 can give you an idea
as to how the report started. A few weeks ago,
in one of the offices above here, the postmaster
made a regular distifbution i-f his mail, and
then banded to a messenger, who was waiting
for that purpose, the mail and papers of several
families who resided four, six and seven miles
distant. I suppose the messenger was slow in
making known the fact that be had brought np
the mail for one of the patrons was dewn and
called at our place and told me that be had
visited four different houses the day before and
could not find out who had brought up the pa
pers though he knew they bad been taken up
from the office. The postmaster was not to
blame. And It patrons carelessly scatter each
others paper they should be cautious about
gossiping about the "irregularities in distribut
ing" and miasendmg the maU. I know by ex
perience In handling the mall that we mlssend
as little mail as any other postmaster.
Another reason which makes the 3d bd ford
Ma i I. appear irregular is the fact that sometimes
it comes to us on Friday and the Lake Creek
mall carrier makes his trip on the same day
therefore takes it right home. Other weeks it
arrives on Saturday and has to remain in this
office until Monday evening. You can readily
see the effect of this upon the minds of those
who do not understand the circumstance.
Please correct that Item it is false.
