Climbing Cp the RI~i.
I am not certain whether it pays or
not to go up on the Rigi. 'When the
weather is clear you can sea three moun
tain ranges all snow capped, 12 or 18
lakes, 17 towns and cities, 40 Tillages, 00
odd glaciers, and this in a circumference
of about 300 miles. Glorious, I admit,
but oh! the discomfort of the descent
again! It takes louger to come down
than it does to go up, and passengers are
jerked, jerked, jerked from apes to base
so rudely that life is no longer a pleasure
ere ,we liave reached Vitznau again. Out
on such cogwheel contrivances' for hu
man torture, say I; the old fashioned dil-
jigences may have been slow and cruel,
(but they wero Pullmans alongside of
tangled cars.
■■Rr years ago I climbed the IUgL
[| mere child’s play afte# doing Hiatus, .and
I bare not grown ^moh older since I sold
I would climb it Aa and I did so day
before yesterday. ^Pwas a warm after
noon. Not a bream of air, and tho sun
shining full on mo for half tbo distance.
By half-past 7 o’clock I had reached the
kulin or highest point, and there I threw
myself on the earth and saw the sun go
down. Then X had my feet and legs
well rubbed with liniment, meanwhile
eating dinner, and then I went to bed to
be called early enough to see that samo
sun rise again. Tho Rigi Kulm is tho
best place I know of to observe the splen
did ruddy glow that comes over tho great
Alpino peaks at the rising and setting of
the sun. Unfortunately tlieso effects at
•light do not last long, but they are mar
velously beautiful." Night before last as
the sun went down it became first yel
low, then dark red and in on instant
everything touched by its dying rays as
sumed tho samo ruddy tint. This lasted
for a couplosjf minutes after the sun had
^entirely disappeared, and jthen suddenly
■everything turned black and lol tbo
stars were shining.—Henry Haynio In
New Orleans Picayune.
No Chances Against Gamblers.
In 1840 that famous magician, Robert
Houdin, was requested by thejjudgo of
instruction of the tribunal of the Seine
to examine and verify the genuineness of
ISO packs of cords which had been seized
in the possession of u man who enjoyed
any tiling but a savory reputation. A
peculiarity of the cards was that they
were perfectly white, and it was impos
sible to detect tho least proof of their
having been tampered with or to find tho
slightest mark upon them. Over his
work Houdin spent a fortnight, now in
specting them with the unaided eye,
again by means of superior lens. Every
individual card of tho 150 packs was in
spected again and again. He was giving
up his work- in despair, when, of u sud
den, close to the corner of ono of them,
•Be perceived a dullish spot. Looking at
it closer tho spot disappeared, but holding
it_at -o distance from htm the spot re
appeared. Following up this clew, he"
ascertained that on every card there ex
isted a spot which, according to its posi
tion on tho card, indicated tho suit and
the valua of tho card,
v. Ho pursued the subject further, for
the purpose of ascertaining , whether a
person who plays for amusement only
has tho slightest chance of winning with
a person who plays only to live. Tho
conclusion ho arrived at was that tliero
is no such supposed favorable chance,
and that tho amount of tho non-profes
sional's losses is limited only by tho mag
nanimity of tho professional.—Boston

Favorlto Beverages lit Persia.
The great beverago in Persia is sher
bet, which is plentifully supplied, and of
which there are many varieties—from
tho bowl of water 'with a Kjueezo of
lemon to the clear, concentrated juice of
ohy sort of fruit to which water is added
to dilute it. The preparation of sherbet,
which is dono_with tlio greatest care, is
a very important point in so thirsty a
country os Persia, and one to which
much tinio is devoted,'. It may bo-cither
expressed from tho jofeo of fruit freshly
gathered or from tho preserved extract
of pomegranates, cherries or lemons
mixed with sugar and submitted to a
certain degree of heat to preservo it for
winter consumption.
Another sherbet much drank is called
guzang ebben. It is made from tho
honey of the tamarisk tree. This honey
is not the work of tho bee, but is made
by a small insect living under tho leaves
of the shrub. During tho months of
August and September tho insect is col
lected and tho honey is preserved.
When used for sherbet it is mixed with
vinegar, and, although not so delicious
os that made from fruit, it makes an ex
cellent beverage.
Only among the rich and fashionable
are glasses used. InAJJ other cases sher
bet is served in cbiiSkhowls and drank
from deep wooden-spfms carved in-peor-
