ARTII.UiRV CP THE SNOWS.
Noise and I'lii-uuiiiciiou of railing Mountain
Ice.
Those who for t!i lirst time
have explored among the higher
mountain raugos of the earth in
the season of early summer, snys
the Glasgow Herald, have doubt
less been perplexed at the appar
ent tiring of cannons at various
points amid those snow covered
mountain peaks and pyramids; a
great volume of white smoke be
ing observed to issue from a lofty
emiuence, soon followed by aloud
report as of heavy artillery. It
is soon realized that these explo
sions are vast avalanches of snow,
which having partly lost cohesion
by the increasing heat of sum
mer, are dislodged by their in
herent weight, and fall from
precipice with thundering rever
beration, the apparent smoke be
ing volumes of powdery snow lis
charged high m the air each time
the ponderous mass is shatered
against some rocky obstruction.
To the spectator ata distance the
phenomenon is sufficiently grand
and startling, especially if obser
ved through a powerful tele
scope; but if by any means,
whether from a balloon or other
wise, an avalanche could be wit
nessed from a short distance
through its whole course the
spectacle -must be awe inspiring
and appalling. At lirst a mass
of snow perhaps a few acres in
extent, and weighing many hun
dreds of thousands of tons, slips
away from the steep slope on
which it was deposited, and with
a terrific roar the mighty muss
bounds over a precipice uprear
ed a thousand feet or more from
the lower plateaux. The stupen
dous impact with the snow be
neath on this slanting declivity
must cause the very rocks to
tremble and quiver, aud raises a
deuse cloud of particles of frozen
snow; the wliole mass then doubl
ed in volume, madly rolling down
the slope with ever enhanced
impetuosity.
Continually augmenting iu bulk
and with more aud moro acceler
ated velocity the great colossal
avalanche now plunges down-.
ward in its headlong career of de
struction with a wild momentum
which nothing can withstand. It
has left the snow line, lias cut a
great avenue through a pino for
est, breaking down trees like
matchwood, and in a few mo
ments, with a grinding crash, an
entire hamlet or village beneath
is wholly submerged, splintered
in ten tnousana fragments, ana
utterly obliterated from the face
of the earth; though the warn
ing roar may probably have pre-
monished the inhabitants to flee
for their lives.
This, however, is not always
practicable, and it is related that
on one occasion no fewer thau 100
Austrain soldiers were suddenly
overwhelmed by a prodigous ava
lanche which entombed the entire
battalion in a snowy sepulcher.

An exchange remarks that at
no season of the year is the ap
peal to keep things clean more
potent than now. It is the sea
son of the year when the early
vegetables decay in the garden
and when the hidden or neg kc
ed "filth of the back yards aud al-
leys becomes most offensive.
The weeds that come up from ov.
ery gutter and alley and other
neglected tlaces should not be
permitted to become unsightly,
much less unhealtnv. Weeds are
a great biding place for filth and
should not be allowed to grow in
public or private places. Let our
citizens and tho Board of Health
give this matter their attention.
Clean up and purify. the town.
Cleanliness Is next to Godliness, !
and this old saw should become I
popular with all at the present
time. I

THE GENUINE VS. COUNTERFEITS.
The geuuine is aiways bettor
then a counterfeit, but tho truth
of this statement is never more
forcibly realized or more thor
oughly appreciated than when
you compare the genuine DeWitt's
Witch Hazel Salvo with tho many
counterfeits and worthless sub
stitues that are on tho market.
W. S. Led better, of Shreveport,
La., says: "After using numer
ous other remedies without beue
fit, one box of DeWitt's Witch
Hazel Salve cured me." For blind
bleeding, itchiug and protruding
piles no remedy is equal to Do
Witt's Witch Hazel Salve. Sold
at Trout's drug store.
Nothing has ever equalled it.
Nothing can ever surpass it.
