This will inevitably happen. The mountain, which is 2,000 IV, t high and eight, miles long, has ho ii proved to be moving forward and downward at a rate of one to three feet a year. The railway track, which runs along its bnse has to be constantly altered. The reason of this ponderous landslide is that the mountain rests on n layer of soft sandstone, which Is steadily giving way. The village of Sainte Foy de Taren taise, in eastern France, seems doomed to be ingulfed. The base of tho hill on which it stands Is being eaten away by the rapid waters of the Isere. Tho houses, some of them, show cracks rivaling those of onr Cheshire North wich. Some day thero will be a "short, sharp shock," and Tarentaise will no longer exist. Islands go and come so constantly that none but the admiralty keeps count of them. Submarine volcanoes are re sponsible for most of these disappear ances, but others are harder to account for. Metis island, for instance, in the south Pacific, bore no sign of volcanic action about It It was charted in 1SS0, its highest point being 150 feet. In 1S00 it bad gone?vanished utterly without leaving a trace. On the site of another small guano island off tho coast of southern California recent soundings showed 50 fathoms of water. Tangier island In Chesapeake bay was fort i lied by the English fleet in the war of 1S12. It has sunk steadily, till now those fortifications are under water. The shifting sands of the great des ert are as hungry as the pitiless sea itself. Many of the smaller oases in the Sahara have disappeared from sight in an hour or two, burled deep by the deadly simoom. Some 400 miles southeast of the old city of Kashgar, far out in the yellow desolation of the desert of Gobi, the great Swedish explorer Sven Hedln saw something projecting from the smooth side of one of the long dunes. It was the wooden roof of a house. Further investigation showed that It was but one of thousands. A teeming city of highly civilized Aryans bad long existed on this spot until the earth had tired of It and wiped it out. T ntil Dec. 18, 1811, the eastern part of Crnlghead county. Ark., was one of the most beautiful and fertile stretches of prairie imaginable, inter spersed with tracts of lovely wood land. Pretty rivers ran between high clay banks, and-the c?untry was rapid ly settling. On the morning of Dec. 10, in place of risers and rolling prairie, a great lake rippled Iri the sunlight In the night the whole region, 120 miles long and 00 wide, had sank 20 to 40 feet. Today the weird lakes of the Arkansas sank lands offer the most beautiful scenery ?vud some of the best sport in all the southern states. Nothing Is too big or too small to es cape the maw of oar hungry globe. Quicksands are the- traps she spreads for smaller fry.. Probably the worst and most dangerous In tho world are the "shotts" of the Sahara. These are perhaps the dregs of some prehis toric sea. Now they are covered over with a thick crust of salt and sand.

The extraordinary skill with which Sir Edwin Landseer painted animals . was due not merely to his mastery of the brush, but also to his Intimate knowledge of the animal world. < One of his many talents was tho pow er of imitating to perfection the cry ot any creature with which he was fa- j miliar. One day when the artist happened to be the guest ot Lord Rivers he was re- { quested to go and see a very savage . dog that was tied up In the yard. As Landseer approached the growling \ beast he dropped quietly upon his hands and knees and then crawling 1 forward snarled so alarmingly that the dog, overcome with terror, suddenly 1 snapped his chain, Jumped over tb* wall and was never seen afterward. j stienco Beierns Supreme.

Rough and Ready Treatment at an Ugly and Dratal Tenxniter ? A Remark From One jC Ilia Oirn Men Which. He Did Not Reacnt, "Yes, Sherman was very impulsive," said the eaptalu. "I saw Undo Billy lu a great act dowu at Big Sliauty In June, 1804. The army was working Its way toward Atlanta, and It was ralulug as ouly southern clouds could rulu on Uncle Sum's soldiers when wagons were hehiud aud there was no shelter. (Jouerai Sherman's tent had beeu pitched near the rond, aud the general had just tnkeu off his heavy boots aud put ou a pair of snow white stockings aud loose slippers aud other wise made himself comfortable when there was an uproar ou the road near his headquarters. "A man who had beeu whipping the mules of his team to make them pull became exasperated beyond endur ance, and, using the butt end of his heavy whip, began to club the mules over the head. He was so brutal that Dome of the soldiers passing protested, and this Increased his rage. The screams of the belabored mules, the curses of the enraged teamster and the shouts of the soldiers made- a din like a riot, but the brutal beating went on. "Suddenly the flap of General Sher man's tent was thrown aside and the figure of a tall, bare headed officer In fatigue dress, white stockings and slip pers was projected through the rain into the center of the melee. This was General Sherman, and without a word he seized the irate teamster by the ear and fairly lifted him from bis feet. There was instant quiet. The mules down In the mud waited for the next blow. The teamster, recognizing the ear puller, was limp ns a rag. The boys in the road stopped to see what Uncle Billy would no next. "For a minute you could bohr noth ing but the pntter of the rain. Then Sherman, still holding the teamster's ear In a way to make the fellow stand on his toes, turned and marched bis prisoner to the rear, called the officer In charge of the guard and oidcred that the beater of mules be properly punished and never be given charge of another team. As the general turn ed toward his tent after this exploit the passing regiment gave blm a cheer, and the philosopher of our company remarked: 'That's better than any cuss In I ever heard. Uncle Billy Is a mas ter band at ear pullln.' "On another occasion I saw Sherman In a different mood. We were making a night march, swinging to the right around Kenesaw. The night was as dark as they make them down in Geor gia, and we marched all night without talking, under whispered orders, the men being guided in the line of march by bunches of white raw cotton pinned on the shoulders of those In front. Canteens and haversacks were tied close so there would be no rattling, and hour after hour we moved through tho dreary dark, dropping down In the road to rest whenever there was a stop. This Is the most exasperating sort of a march, and the men were in no pleas ant mood when It began to grow light. , "Any night march Is very trying. The natural Inclination is to go for ward ns rapidly as possible. The men who set the pace In front are suddenly halted, and the^men following crowd upon them, expecting that there will be a delay of only a minute. Iastead there will be a delay of an hour, which to the men In the rear seems .without reason or excuse. Then suddenly there will be a forward movement at n breakneck pace, then another halt without explanation, and a tiresome standing in ranks. In this case there Was the added bewilderment of follow ing silently the cotton pods oa the shoulders of the file leaders, the exas peration of sudden stops, and the farther exasperation of being com pelled to keep quiet, so when daylight came the men were in a swearing mood, and they swore. "It was the habit with all men, par ticularly If they were themselves in clined to excesses, to be very severe upon officers who became Intoxicated. Nothing gave them so mach satisfac tion as to find an officer drunk along the Une of march and to indulge in severe comments. With the coming of daylight the rule as to silence was sus pended, .as th? divisions were then going Into position. As our regiment marched rapidly to its appointed place we passed occasionally a sleeping offi cer. Every time the-boys would re mark, 'Another officer drunk.' As we approached the main line we passed an officer asleep In a fence corner. Some fellow in our company shouted,' There's another officer drunk.' "The men were- greatly surprised to see the sleeping figure assume a sit ting posture afid to hear the voice of General William T. Sherman say, not unkindly, 'No, boys, nol drunk, but terribly tired and sleepy.' Instantly came the reply, 'Bully for youl' and tho men went forward into line feeling a kinship with their commanding gen eral. He had not resented the remark, he Lad not sworn at the men who mad* It, bnt he offered the excuse which they would have offered, that they were tired and sleepy. These two anecdotes explain why Sherman was so near to his men. He would not see a man or a mule abused, and he held himself as a commanding general to a close sympathy with the men In the ranks who were to fight his bat-' ties."?Chicago Inter Ocean.

Talk is cheap. This is the on-year iu politics and tho spell-binders will soon be cptcrtaioiug the dear people at tho court houses, at the cross-roads and the big spell binders, such as Bryan and Roosevelt, will meet their audiences in the great auditoriums and open air meetings. Of course each Bide putting their bestlight upon their own principles and policies, the other side doing the came for theirs, and both magnifying the faults aud had policies of tho other. I don't belicvo much that one politician says about another politician of different politics from himself. Really, ? don't.believe much I hear "no how." Like Bill Nye when he was caught snoring. A gentleman punched him and said, "Wake up, your snoring disturbs us." Bill replied, "I was not snoring." The man replied, "You were snoring, sir." Bill said, "How do you know I was snoring?" "I-heard you," said the gentleman. "Law," said Bill," "you can't believe half you hear these days." I am by polities like L am by scan dal mongers. You can" make a heap of allowance, and then, as the negro says, " 'low some moro before you get it straight." Saint James said, "The tongue is an unruly evil and full of deadly poison and setteth on fire the whole oourse of nature and it u set on fire of hell." The average per son does not weigh his words or ap preciate what ho says. It is also true that the average hearers do not give much weight to words and assertions. A hog at his slop, the dog eating bo logna sausage, a vulture at work on the carcass are so much higher animals than scandal mongers that they ought not to be mentioned in the same week, or the same year, or tho same decade. Tbs soandal monger is sometimes male and sometimes female, and sometimes just a plain "it." I don't know whether they belong to the genus homo or not. They are no more like deoent people than a buzzard is like a bald eagle. I think some people talk too much because they have got nothing else to do. I think some people talk because they are on such a low plane that they would like to talk other peo ple down on a level with them. Nine ty-uine times in a hundred a scandal monger is talking about his betters 01 her betters. I would rather be scratching when I was not itching than to sit down and listen to a scan dal monger, and as a rule the one whe listens to scandal is no better than the one who does the talking. It is ae true to-day as ever, the purest charac ters have suffered most from this tribe of vultures. Each community has some noble wife, some good mother 01 daughter that has been the prey of these scandal mongers. They are to be shunned, avoided, despised and will finally be dammed. The devil is going to be dissatisfied with some of the gang that is put oil on him, in my judgment. To think the devil wants. some folks that 1 know he is going to get would lower my^estimate of him', his intelligence and his sens? of what decency demand ed. I don't believe the devil will get anybody that bo ought not to get; but I do believe that ha is going to get some that he woo.id uol have been sorry if ho had missed. Behold how great a matter a little fire kindleth. If Mrs. Snipes tells Mrs. Soroggins that she saw Mary Jane Brown wink at Billy Smith, that, is foundation enough. The next you hear of Mary Jane Brown she hss lost her virtue, wreoked her charaoter and blasted her life, when the real foundation for the beginning of the report was that Mary Jane Brown batted her eyes because it was her nature to. If there is any body I love to run after and associate with it is the people who keep their tongue from evil and their lips from speaking guile, who backbite not with the tongue nor do evil to their neigh bor. Some people will lie down in bell at last conscious of the faot that their tongue damned them, and if they had not talked thoy might have made their way to heaven; but after alia lie will run a mile while the truth is putting on his boots; but a lie- never stops until it hss run itself to death, but truth oomes along by and by and sees the dead carcass by the way side and walks on. with the consciousness that she shall live forever, that the eternal years of God are hers.

"The pcreuuial fight between West ern cattle men and sheep- men is a study for both the psychologist and the economist. At first glance, tho in terests of these great divisions of tho live stook industry would appear to bo in common. But, in truth, this can never be. Cattle and sheep can no more occupy a raugc in common than oil aud water can float coherently. The cow punoher hates the shepherd with a hatred that is deep and of ttimcs picturesque, and the herderlbegirts himself with artillery and sullenly stands on the defensive. "The trouble between the cattle aud sheep industries mainly proceeds from the natural differences between two classes of live stock. Cattle are home keeping in their habits. They arc as hard to lose as a house cat, unless, per chance, tho cheerful and unreckoning rustler happens along. ? range cow naturally will 'run' where she was born. Her owner and his cowsboys expect to find her within easily defin ed limits, usually along some certain cattlo trail that starts'at a* watering place and leads baok to higher ground. In ordinary weather, if water be easy of access, about all the cattle will be j found Bomo time during the day along the creeks, in the shade or luxuriantly hock deep in tho mud. The night is spent back on the feeding ground. Drivo the cow away, even a hundred miles, and baok she will drift, though her return be to a feeding ground by far the worse. Back homo she will come, though it be to starve and die. "Sheep, on the contrary, pro ueces sarily nomadic. They arc gregarious, 'bunching'by instinct. One man with his dog cau care for even 4,DUO, though only half that number is usually allot ted. A flock of sheep is about as de vastating as a prairie fire. Where it has passed the grass is gone, even to the roots, the sage brush is defoilatcd and the track so recks with tho sheep's peculiar oder that cattle and horses avoid the ground for weeks afterward. And the herds in their ceaseless jour neying never follow one another. To use a pat military expression, they como 'en echelon,' in a path, parallel to and abutting one edge of the strip devastated by the preceding woolly army. Thus, if one flock cat out a half mile strip, ten flocks will leave a barren area five miles wide. The bet ter tho feed the slower the rate of travel. Tho flock moves on when tho grass is consumed. No diagram is needed to show the effect of such a raid on a cattle range. The rage of the cattle men is not hard to imagine. "A quarter of a century ago, when the Wild West was virgin land and pasture, there was plenty of room for both cattle and sheep. But as the country has filled up and as the area of nntenantep or unclaimed land has shrunk, the two branches of live stock have been driven in upon each other more and more, until they are now in contention for possession of the same field. Little by little the herders and punchers have been forced from the plains up into the mountains. West ern Kansas, Nebraska and the Dako tas, the western portion of Oregon and Washington, and all of California, which were onoe free ranges, have be come lesB and less available. Even Colorado and Utah and a portion of Wyoming, because of the advanoe of farmers and miners, afford a constant ly shrinking pasturage. Both sheep men and cattle men have been obliged to Beek the high and untenable lands in the mountains, where tho forests and the watersheds are the only sec tions that afford sufficient feed. "The struggle between them, there fore, is waged chiefly in what is known as the plateau region of the continent. From lower New Mexico and Arizona and Western Texas northward to the American boundary, add from the Eastern Montana line westward to the summet of the Cascade Mountains, the sheep men and the oattle men are fighting for the oontrol of the remain ing ranges. The sheep go into the verdant meadows of the forests, and the cattle men seek to expel them. The cattle men occupy some section where the grasses are succulent, and the water plentiful, only to find the sheep working into the same district, cropping the grass to its roots, and tainting the air with the smell which the cattle cannot endure. The closer settlement crowds in upon the former ly unsettled lands the more bitter be comes the antagonism. Frequently it breaks out in brief shooting match es, in which the cattle men generally prove themselves the more expert. More often it culminates in strained sentiments and press reports of 'trou ble threatened between cowboys and beep herders.' Again it breeds feuds which are fully as swift and deoioivo as those of Kontuoky." ? The man who is faithfully im proving his one talent will soon have ten. ?
