SANGSTFTL The young girl who la going av ay to make a visit of a few days or a few weeks should bear In mind se ral rules that would cerve to n;i'..j her an agreeable, guest. I,ast yivn a lady who la an extrcmel;- cnrrful housekeeper, and whoso niatii.ci'.i have a flavor of old-world court ., gave a house-party that lnclud: 1 a nutnbor of friends of her daughter, who was a Junior at college. Tho girls who arrived one afternoon by train, were well dressed, wr!l b:ol and well educated. Each had 1. -hind her the traditions of pool b'.it'.t and careful training, but t'.irre a wide difference In the way thoy nr. gutted themselves In the role (f guests. One girl, for example, whs always lnte for mea's. It happened tfcet the man of the house especially ais'tked a lack of punctuality at th" tali e, and he was correspondingly an no; el when I-Mel!! floated in !;.or;: li? after 'morning In a bewitch si to'.lct, when breakfast was nearly lin irhed. I.ouH'p. to vh;:m ha 1 I.e. 1 glen a dainty room furnlshel :u green and white, was so untidy and took fo little care of bureau covers, spreads and curtn'ns that her hots t as horrified. She wondered tnat a daughter of her's should entertain friendship with so heedless a young woman, and she was further disturb ed when Phe found this giri's bel'in?: Ingj lying about pro:n'.scuo:is y '.n the drawing-room, the hall and t'.io porch, with not a thought of o:lor or fitness. Another girl who fancied herself a brilliant conversationalist, had i.n unfortunate habit of seizing the word on all occasions and of monop olizing the talk so that 110 one u'.ye had a chance to be heard. For more than we think we rvveal ourselves unconsciously, by looks, speech and deportment, when w? aro away from home. Whoever would be an agreeable guest must cs soon rs possible find out and conform to tht ordinary ways of the household Int 3 whose privacy she Is admitted. If there Is an opportunity to save her hostess trouble she must not over look It, yet there are g-.i -ts v. ho-e determination to be usel' :. verges o:i the officious and lntrerl.e. It Is as well to remain In c ne's room In the morning until breakfast Is ready, or If one goes for an early waik or tituls a aeat on tV:e porch, let one stay away from the living room and other parts of the house that are not yet in irder for the day. A certain young woman who vio lated this rule and established her elf at ease In an upper hallway In a window seat commanding a beautiful lew, was Intensely mortified when )jr accident she discovered that Fhe lad prevented several members of :he family from taking their morning llunge In the bath room In their us lal comfort.

The fact Is not generally known that some of the most Imposing snow mountains in the world He within the limits of the United States, says William Williams In hcrlbner's Magazine. I refer to the great peaks of Alaska, at least one of which, Mt. McKlnley, Is over 20. 000 feet high, while Mt. St, Ellas is over 18,000 feet and, being situated within 25 miles of the coast, can be seen in its entire height from the deck of a vessel. Other magnulflcant peaks, as Mt Fairweather and Mt. Crillon, He very close to the shore, and since the line of perpetual snow In these northerly latitudes is at 8,000 feet or even less (In the case of Mt. St. Ellas It Is vir tually at the water's edge, for the base of the mountain is surrounded by vast glaciers which flow down to the sea), continuous snow and ice surfaces may there be seen rising fron-. 15,000 to 18,000 feet above the spectator. I think I am not mis. taken In saying that few. If any, such sights can be Itnessed In any other part of the world. Mountaineering ' expeditions to there Alaskan peak are very inter esting, but at the same time very laborious, not because of unusually stiff rock or snow work neither is probably as difficult as that encoun tered In the Alps but largely be cause they are situated in a wild, unexplored country at great dis tances from any proper base of sup plies, so that before the'r ascent can be even attempted much time and effort must be expended In the so lution of varioin perplexing prob lems not pertaing to c'lnibfng pro per.

Louisville, Ky. There has not been, It Is said, a crime f mob vio lence committed In this State, in Tennessee, or, in fact. In any of the Southern States or In any of the Middle Western States In the past several years, with the exception of the occasional lynching of a negro by a mob, that has not been should ered on the Night Hlders. The Night Khlers were an organ ized body back In 1900, when the State Legislature passed a law do ing away with private ownership of State roads. For months tho turn pike corporations refusel to obey the State laws. They appealed to the State Supreme Court, then to the Court of Appeals, and lastly to the United States Supreme Court, and on each appeal they would get a stay, which marie It possible for them to continue running their toll pates and charging two cents a mile for every horse or vehicle that passed over their pro-erty. Because of the law's delay the condition of the roads became Im passible. The owners of the turn pikes would not expend one cent for Improvements ns long as there was question of their losing their property by a final court decision, but they did not cease to mulct trav ellers. All this while they refused to accept the fair price offered by the State for their roads. It was then that the Night Hlders were organized. The organization spread from Shelby County to every part of the State, and one night in the late fall men rode from their homes and begun burning toll gates. There is no record of a toll gate keeper being Injured unless he show ed resistance. Then he was taken from the house, and If he continued to be defiant he was flogged. In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred the tole gate keeper was glad to give up his Job and let the gate burn. Night Riders undoubtedly brought the turnpike corporations to terms. There was not a toll gate left stand ing In tho State of Kentucky by the following spring. Had the taxpay ers and farmers been contented to allow the law to take its never end ing co.urso the chances are that toll gates would still be holding up tra vellers on the State roads to-day, and that the roads would have been worse now than they were when the Night Hlders became organized. The Kentucky roads now are among the best Jn the United States. There are not millions of dollars of watered stock on which to pay int erest, and the State tax has improv ed them and even made It possible for almost all of them to bo sprin kled with oil during the summer season, thus laying the dust. The success of the Night Riders in the war against toll gates led to an organization of a similar char acter when the fight was waged Tcrlnst the American Tobacco Com pany. Hut out of this last organiza tion there grew a body of violent rr.cn. who live on excitement and 'hiive on lawlessness. Then sprang up. too, lawless bodies of men In mrny of the Southern and Middle Western States, who chose to call then-selves Night Hlders, though the nrol'Klillities are that 99 per cent, of the men didn't own so much as a Veuve to ride. If n list of the orisinal body of Nlsht Riders could be had the chances are that the names of many rren who figured In the operations of the old Ku-Klux gang would be found, and if this list were sifted down it would show that many property-owners and men of prominence had reported to violence because of their belief that action v.-as their only safeguard against ruin, and that a def.ance of law had to be met by a like def.r- ce.

Mothers should teach their glrb to care for their hair as early as possi ble. If a girl Is coaxed into the habit of giving her locks a hundred strokea with a clean brush every morning and evening and braiding them loosely foi bed, the foundation lor a future beau tlful head of hair will be laid. Toe many children are allowed to go tc bed with their hair iu a tossled con dition, only to have It Jerked and tangled hastily when school time comes round. Such a practice Is die astroua to the nerves of a sensitive child and ruinous to tho bair, say Woman's Ufe. Never allow one chili to use the other's hair brush.

Ship's Crew Witness Desperate Fight In Chesapeake Hay. Ri.ltlmore. A remarkable com bat between a large eagle and m shark was witnessed recently by Captain Henderson and the crew of the steamer Tangier In Chesapeake Bay. When coming out of Oecohan nock Creek they saw the eagle dive and come to the surface with a shark. Then followed a fierce strug gle, the shark pulling the eagle un der the water until it was almost exhausted. The fish was finally kil led and floated dead on the water. Members of the steamer's crew put off In a small boat and captured the eagle, although It clawed them repeatedly and Its mate, hovering cIobb by, tried to attack them. Aerial Topography. Thin Is not Buch a contradiction in terms as it nuy seem. Recent exploration of the air has revealed an astonishing deflnlteness of ar rangements In Its layers, although C cu-se, thd details are continually changing. Recently, Capt. C. H. Ley, In Kngland, has directed his Btud es of floating balloons to a rolution of the question of the In fluence of the topography of the earth'B surface on the Btate of the air above It. He finds, among other things, that the dlsturba nces pro duced by hills and valleys are trans mitted to an unexpectedly great ele vation affecting the lower and mid dle strata throughout. A geueral effect noticed Is that the velocity of the wind, or a current of air, Is in creased over a hill and diminished over a valley. He thinks that simi lar observations, generally distrib uted, would furnish us with a real topography of the air Youth's Companion.

The diary also was found by G. W. Lewis and S. E. Shattuck, the prospectors while on a trip through the Argus Mountains In Inyo county. Pratt had beon dead nearly two months. He was evidently trying to reach the mountains, where he knew he would find food of a sort and water In abundance, but within sight of his refuge he gave out and could go no further. Pratt was sixty years old. The entries in the notebook were scribbled and began only when the man found he was In danger of dy ing. "Food gave out to-day; guess I can make Argus," was the entry for August 3, seven days alter he had started to cross the desert. "Water gone." told the story of the follow ing day. For one whole day ho went with out water or food, but maintained an optimistic spirit, as is witnessed by the following entry for Augut 6: "Signs of water about half mile ahead.
