PeriIous Ride of an Ice voyager.

A YOUNG man named Melvin Craver
narrowly escaped being carried over the
Rock bottom dam on a cake of floating
ice yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Crave1
was amusing himself watching the ice
near the water works and he resolved tG
have a short ride. Equipping himself
with piece CT board he stepped upon a
cake of ice. He intended to keep his
slippery craft near the shore, but the
swift current was too much for him and
he drifted toward the middle of the
river. The piece of ice on which the
young man stood was small, and the
waves occasionally dashed over it, max.
ing its surface very slippery. Young
Craver wore pair of rubber boots and
the exertions he had to make to keep
himself from slipping into the river were
tremendous.
As the ice upon which he was floating
neared the Rock bottom bridge the cur.
rent moved him toward the north shore.
The bridge was covered with people
watching him, and the angry roar of the
dam about twenty rods below sounded
very unpleasantly i'll his ears. just be-
low the bridge the ice came quite near
the shore, and some one held out a pike
pole toward HIM. In attempting to reach
it he slipped and fell into the water. He
grabbed the ice with both hands and
with extraordinary agility managed to
climb upon it again. Another attempt
to reach the pole proved successful, and
Melvin was brought to shore, much ex-
hausted, thoroughly drenched, but happy
in his rescue at the end of his perilous
ride.-Binghamton IN. ~ Republican,

Saving Is Wealth.

One great cause of the poverty of the
present day, wisely says an exchange, is
failure of our common people to ap-
preciate small things. They do not real.
lze how daily addition, be it ever SO
small, will soon make large pile. II
the young men and women of to-day
will only begin, and begin now, to save a
little from their earnings and plant it in
the soil Of some good savings bank, and
weekly or monthly add their mite, they
will wear happy smile of competence
when they reach middle life. Not only
the desire but the ability to increase it
will also grow. Let clerk and trades
man, laborer and artisan, make, now and
at once, beginning. Store up some OF
your youthful force for future con-
tingency Let parents teach their chill.
dren to begin early to save. Begin at the
fountain head to control the stream Of
extrayagance-to choose between pow
erty and riches. Let our youth 60 on in
the habits of extravaganza for fifty years
to come as they have for fifty years past
and we shall have nation of beggars,
with moneyed aristocracy. Let gen.
Grafton of such as save in small sums be
reared and we shall be free from want
Do not be ambitious for extravagant for
tunes, but seek that which it is the duty
of every one to observation-disclosures
and comfortable home. Wealth and
enough of it is within the reach of all
It is obtained by one process and one
only-saving.

Humor Among the Lower Animals.

ALL those who have watched the hab-
its of animals must have remarked how
widely spread among them is this species
of hunor, namely: annoying and insult
ing stronger being than themselves
whenever they think that they can do
so with impunity. And SO strong is the
impulse to crafty their sense of humor
that they do not hesitate to do so at the
risk of their lives. NJ. MouhOt, in his
work on "India- China and Cambodia," /"
mentions that he has often witnessed
very amusing scenes between the monk
ey and the crocodile.
The latter animal is lying half asleep
on the bank, and is espied by the monk
eys. They seem to consult together,
approach, draw back, and at last proceed
to overt acts of annoyance. If monkey
can find a convenient branch he goes
along it, swings himself down, hangs by
hand OF foot, slaps the crocodile on
the nose, and instantly scrambles up the
branch out of the reptiles reach. Some
times when no branch is sufficiently near
several monkeys will hang to each other
so as to make chain, and, swinging
backward and forward over the croco-
dile's head, the lowermost monkey will
torment the reptile to his hearts con-
tent. The cream OF the joke is when the
crocodile is at last so irritated that it
opens its enormous jaws, makes vicious
snap at the monkey, and just misses
him. Whenever this happy event oc-
ours there are screams and gatherings
of exultation from the monkeys and a
vast number of joyful gambols executed
among the branches
OF course, according to the old proverb,
tine pitcher may go too often to the well ;
and it does occasionally happen that the
monkey does not escape in time and is
inguifed in the crocodile's jaws. Where
upon the cries of exultation are changed
into groans and shrieks of terror, and
the whole assembly make off as fast as
they can. But experience does not teach
them discretion, and in two or three days
they will be at the same game again.
