From Butte inlet to Unimak pass
nearly every deep gulch has its glacier
some Of which are vastly greater and
grander than any glacier OF the Alps.
So that the American students need no
longer 60 abroad TO study glacial action
In one Of the gulches of Mount Fair
weather is a glacier that extends fifty
miles to the sea-where il breaks off, a
perpendicular wall 300 feet high and
eight miles broad. Thirty-fve miles
above Wrangel, on the Stricken river,
between two mountains 5000 feet high,
is an immense glacier forty miles long,
and at the base four to five miles across,
and variously estimated from 800 10
1000 feet high or deep. Opposite this
glacier is a personification of a mighty
ice god. who has issued from out his
mountain home and invested with power
before which all nature bows in submis-
sion. They describe him as crashing
his way through the canyon till its
glistening pinnacles looked upon the
domains of the river god, and that after
n conflict the ice god conquered, and
spanned the river breadth so completely
that the river god was forced 10 crawl
underneath. The Indians then sent
their medicine man to learn how this
could be avoided. The answer came
that il a noble chief and fair maiden
would offer themselves as n sacrifice
by taking passage under the long. dark,
winding arch. his anger would be ap-
peased, and the river be allowed TO go
on its way undisturbed When the
two were found and adorned, their
arms bound, and seated il the canoe,
the fatal journey was made, and the ice
has never again attempted to cross the
river. At one OF these glaciers ships
have anchored and taken on q cargo OF

The Lewiston Journal relates this
lively experience OF the proud bird o.
freedom with AN uncomfortable salt
water customer. The scene is laid on
the coast Of Name IN Hancock County.
"An old white-headed eagle, who had
been waiting aud Watching all the sum-
mer's day from the Top Of his iayorite
eagle tree for his seryants-the fish
hawk or gull-to catch his dinner for
him, but IN vain, concluded, as no bird
appeared, he must eitAer seek his own
food or 60 % bed hungry.
i" He accordingly left his perch, auj
hying slowly over the smooth waters oi
the bay, discovered his supper moving
along slowly on the bottom,--io il was
nearly low water. One swoop and a
plunge. and he succeeded in fastening
his talons IN the tail OF large lobster,
which with difficulty he wings 10 his
favorite tree, the lohster's claws dang
ling in the air, and performing various
gyratious visible to the lady witness.
with a long, victorious scream for
liberty, the eagle landed his prey. But
the tables were soon turned : for the
lobster, true to his instincts, When
brought in contact with the tree had
fastened one claw 10 a branch, and tn,
other 10 the leg II the eagle
The booming Of wings and the wild
screech IL the eagle now were indica'
tive, not of liberty or success, but
OF suffering and Imprisonment. The
proud bird had got into his own trap
and was caught and held fast by III,
lobster.
"'This scene, says my informant
lasted more than a minute, but Mt las'
the twisting motion OF the eagle was toC
much for the Joint OF the Holsters claw,
and the eagle was released, but took the
claw with him."

The Sudden Disuse Of StImuIants

The Rev. 7. II. Chope writes from
Hartland Vicarage, North Devon, 10 the
London Times: 1t is frequently affirmed
that any sudden abstinence from alcoholic
beverages in a person-much more an
aged dperson-whoh has used them through
life, is prejudicial 10 health. An in
stance has lately come under my obser
yation Of the beneficial results arising
from the sudden disuse Of alcoholic
stimulants bv a widow Of eighty-two
summers. Her usual drink through life
had been gin, which she changed for
beer previously 10 reaching her eightieth
year. She suffered from occasional at
tacks of gout in her left hand, and also
a running foot-sore. Upon her reaching
the age of eighty that is two years ago
she suddenly adopted the total alb
staining principle. much to the surprise
and CONSERVATION of her friends, who all
prophesied speedy and sudden termln
ton OF her life for the want ot her
accustomed potations. Nothing OF the
kind. The toe healed, the gout vanish
ed, and for two years she has been free
from these harassing complaints, and Is
a living monument OF the good effected
by the sudden adoption of non-alco-
holic regimen. She is in her eighty
third year, and frequently walks ont
into her sons garden or farmyard with
out any covering on her head. Her
memory is excellent: she can repeat
long prayers, and she bids fair to be
come a centenarian.

FlcnhautS PilIng Timber.

Tho highly trained male elephants
with tusks manage the pushing part ot
their work very skilltully. The trunk
is used as pad OF buffer between the
ivory and the WOOD, and the pushing is
done steadily. An average log weighs
about a ton and half When II has 10

feels the end of Il with his trunk; and
having ascertained where he can place
his tusks with most advantage, he adj
iusts the buffer, and starts oN, pushing
the log steadily before him. Should It
happen ta be an extra heavy one, he
stops occasionally 10 take breath; and as
il slides down the muddy hank toward
the water, he gives il finishing slap, as

Sometimes the logs are awkwarily

been so much impressed with their ad-
mirable qualities IN this respect that
they have carried away slightly e1agger-
ated impressions on the subject. In
