The Alps.
The average person who casually
speaks of the Alps Is liable to miss
realizing that this single word covers
twenty separate mountain ranges, each
with Its line of glaciers, gorges and
lofty peaks—the total number of which
last (between 16,000 and 5,000 feet
high) Is over 1.600-and that this dis¬
trict, some 6,000 square miles in extent,
is the dwelling place of 9,000,000 peo¬
ple belonging to five different coun¬
tries and speaking at least five differ¬
ent languages, besides being bewilder

Hunting Fish With Dogs.
A curious mode of fishing was for¬
merly practiced on the southern coast
of Wales, in which dogs were used to
drive fish into the hands of the fisher¬
men. The fishermen would begin their
operations at the ebbing of the tide by
stretching a seine across the river sev¬
eral hundred paces from the mouth,
and while drawing it downward toward
the sea they incessantly disturbed the
water by beating the surface and hurl¬
ing stones. The affrighted fish would
make at once for the sea. which, how¬
ever. they could not reach except by
passing over the Intervening shallows
of the river bar. Here they were pur¬
sued by dogs trained for the purpose
and clubbed or speared by the meu.
One or two hundred fine salmon, weigh¬
ing from ten to twenty pounds, would
frequently be taken at one time In this
extraordinary manner—Boston Post

Proxy Pilgrims.
There are men who make their living
by being pilgrims, by performing over
and over again the difficult pilgrimage
to Mecca. These wanderers are called
proxy pilgrims. No Mohammedan, no
matter how good his life, can be sure
of going to heaven unless he makes the
long pilgrimage. But the long pilgrim¬
age takes time and money; hence a
priest discovered that it could equally
well be made by proxy. And now from
Constantinople, from Cairo, from Bag¬
dad and from Jeddah the caravans to
Mecca are mostly made up of proxies.
A pilgrim can proxy for more than one
person, for a dozen if he likes. A car¬
avan of a thousand persons may ac¬
tually represent by proxy 50,000 de¬
vout pilgrims.

"I think I’ve heard you say,” re¬
marked the man who had ordered a
ham and egg sandwich at the lunch
counter, “that you were brought up
lu a flat.”
“If ever I said that,” responded the
pale haired youth who was crumbling
crackers into his tomato soup, “I un¬
derstated the fact. I was brought up
in fourteen different flats.”
And in the deep, sympathetic silence
that followed nothing was heard but
the customary noises of a cheap eating
house.—Youth’s Companion.
An Irish captain inspecting his com¬
pany noticed that one of the soldiers
had neglected to wash either the back
of his neck or his ears.
“Hi, you!” he called to him. “You
haven’t washed yourself at the back!
Right about face and look at your¬
self!”—London Tit-Bits.
“Papa, what do they build castles in

John Was Wise.
"You are not going to stay in town
late tonight, are you, John?”
“Not very late, dearest I have to
help put a man through the third de¬
gree at the lodge. I’ll come straight
home as soon as it’s over.”
(Kindly, but firmly)—“If you can re¬
peat the password, ’Six slim slick sap¬
lings,’ distinctly when you come home
from the lodge, John, the servant will
admit you, and if you can’t you needn’t
ring. You’ll stay outside all night, my
dear.”
John came home early.-Illustrated
