Icicles.

If o person upon looking out of the
window, should say-as he might at
this hour-"What large icicles are
forming on the caves of the barn !" one
could pretty well tell what the weather
is, and has been. What are icicles F.
Perhaps some of you would answer
"They are sticks Of ice, long-long
enough for canes soMetimes--usually
more or less ridged and. rough, tapering
down to pretty sharp point-eyery-
body knows what icicles are y How
are they formed3 Some say they grow,
but do they grow as children do, or
even corn or apples Do they grow on
the outside or the inside How does an
icicle start? But to answer this ques-
tion, is the weather freezing or thawing
when these hanging sticks Of ice begin
to form} Freezing, of course; but there
must be water running down the roof
and off at the caves, to begin with.
Icicles form then after thaw, when the
weather sets in cold and the temperature
is below freezing. AS the drops Of
water arrive at the edge of the caves, or
"the jumping offplace," they become so
cold that they cannot jump but become
solid Along come some more drops,
and spread out over those that have
gone before and have frozen stiff, and
become q thin film of ice, but the ten
dency to run down causes the stick of
forming ice to lengthen out towards the
ground by the water running down and
freezing at tho end. The water keeps
coming down and as it strikes the ice Of
the icicle it runs along, a film freezing
all the time. Thus it increases in size
and length by the constant freezing of
layers OF water on the outside. If the
temperature is just little below freez-
ing point the icicle will be longer and
more slender than when the change Of
weather is sudden and the cold is severe,
they will then be quite short and
stubbed. Some children are very fond
of eating these cold hard sticks, but they
are not good.-American Agriculturist.

Washington's Emotion.

Washington had accepted an invita-
ton from Arnold to breakfast with him
on the day the plot was discovered, but
was prevented from keeping his en-
gagement by what men call chance-by
the earnest request, namely, of an
old officer, near whose station they
passed, to spend the night there and in
spect some works in the neighborhood.
Next day, while Washing ;on with his
staff, including Lafayette, were seated at
table at this officers headquarters, a
dispatch was brought to the American
general, which he Immediately opened
and read, and then laid it down without
comment. No alteration was visible in
his countenance, but he remained per-
feCtly silent. Conversation dropped
among his suite and after some minutes
the general, beckoning Lafayette to fol
low him, passed to an inner apartment,
turned to his young friend without ut
tering syllable, placed the fatal dis
patch in his hands antt then, giving way
to'an ungovernable burst of feeling, fell
on his neck and sobbed aloud The eff
feet produced on theyoung French mar.
qus, accustomed to regard his general
(cold and dignifed in his usual mannor)
as devoid of the usual weaknesses of hu.
mainly, may be imagined. 81 believe"
said Lafayette in relating this anecdote,
"that this was the only occasion,
throughout the long and sometimes
hopeless struggle, that Washington ever
gave way, even for moment, under a
reverse Of fortune; and perhaps 1 was
the only human being who ever wit
messed in HIM an exhibition Of feeling SO
foreign to his temperament As it was,
he recovered himself before 1 had pc
rused the communication that had given
rise to his emotion; and when we re-
turned to his staff, not trace remained
on his countenance, either of grief or
despondenGY." Y."--Lippincott's Magazine.

For This Year.

Leap year has arrived, and maidens
fair and otherwise are now Gt liberty to
enjoy certain privileges which for the
past forty-eight months have belonged
exclusively to the opposite sex. In Oh
setvance OF time honored custom, it
will now be quite the "proper caper"
for marriageable ladies to take the in
itiative in love matters, and reverse the
social order Of things generally. 1t is
now their privilege, in fact we might
say their duty, to study the comforts
and pleasures oetheir gentleman friends
for the next twelve months, and be al
ways ready to play the gallant when
the occasion demands it. They will be
expected to give balls and parties during
the season, escort their lovers to the OPP
era, treat them to an occasional oyster
supper afterwards, sleigh ride them,
promenade them in the moonlight, hack
them home from the academy in a 2:l23
gate (even if the driver has to be
"stool off" for his fare), leo cream
them, fill them full Of strawberries, and
in fact bestow upon them all the atten-
tions which good society demands. They
are now in the enjoyment of that privi-
lege which permits them to pay three
dollars for u two hour ride behind q
livery horse, whose best record is con-
siderably over ten minutes they will
be expected to take their "fellows" to
the skating rink and pay the bill; to
the church fare and pay the bill /; to
sum up, they will handle the reins of
social government for the next year and
assume all financial responsibilities.
They will firt with whom they choose,
fall in love with whom they choose, and
do their own courting every time We
cannot begin to tell all things the dear
creatures will do in the line of love
making, Breakfast Table.

supper, and hang round back easements,
and sit stupid in bare, sunless rooms. For
company, they regale themselves with
tattling, relating stories Of their lives,
or of their past employers, which do
credit to their imaginations if not their
hearts, and an education Of the worst
sort goes on under the dccorous, un-
troublesome institution life. Once
hardened girls prefer prison life, or be-
ing "sent up to the island to the strict
ness and baroness combined Of the
charitable home. The prison is barer,
bnt it has more human interest, This
is no oyerdrawn picture. Women who
have tigerish tenderness for their own
children can te as callous to the real
wants of other children under their care
as it is possible to imagine. And chari-
ties under them are certain to be man.
aged in this way. Charities in general
are looked upon by unprincipled shrewd
men and women as excellent chances for
getting support without too much
work. Brutality, neglect and crime are
sure to to be the order Of things under
such persons 1t is not long enough
ago to be forgotten that the matron of a
charity for girls turned girl of sixteen
into the street one stormy night a few
hours before her child YVES born. lnves-
tigation was hushed up. The matron
was very sorry when she found that
even institution rules were not consid-
cred excuse for inhumanity, and pleaded
failure of judgment. Lack of Judgment
and of heart in equal proportions will
be found the fault of good many per-
sons in charge OF similar sacred trusts,
and their manners and methods call for
prompt and strict investigation.

kentucky Killing her Conv

The report of the prison sanitary
committee WAS made to the Kentucky
Legislature, on the condition Of the pen
itentiary. 1t describes deplort ble
state Of affairs. The committee finds
that there are eight convcts confined
there who positively cannot live longer
than few months. There are at least
80 Others, some OF whom arc confined to
their beds, who, in all probability, can
not live longer than the latter part of
this Spring, and about two hundred
others who are in state Of debility and
weakness practically uniting them for
duty or work. The remainder of the
convicts do not present q healJhy ap.
pearanca and seem affected by the in-
furious influences which have prostrated
the others. The causes of this state of
affairs are found. by the committee to be
numerous. The penitensiary grounds
are badly drained and the sewerage is SO
defective that in damp weather water
stands in portions of the enclosure from
which arises a malaria, rendering the air
impure. The yards, cells and workshops
are overcrowded and the accumulation
of filth and general lack of cleanliness
within the prison contribute to the gen.
Grafton of disease. There is o general
lack of ventilation in the system and
construction of the houses and cells.
The committee expresses the opinion
that one of the direct causes of the un-
healthiness of the coavicts is due to their
not being supplied with sufficient va
riety Of wholesome food.--N' Y. Times.

"A Case CT Voluntary Starvation

Mrs. Margaret Tumy, widow, 70
years old, died on the 18th of January
at her home, in Cincinnati, from the ct,
feots Of voluntary starvation. She had
been a sufferer for years from dyspepsia.
She was thought to be dying four weeks
before, and her family were summoned.
She recovered, but the attack developed
o remarkable hallucination that her
stomach was gone. No amount of per.
suasion could convince her to the con-
trary, and from that time she persist
emily refused to take food. After she
had suffered from starvation for nearly
two weeks she wa. prevailed upon to
take little meat, which she was in the
habit of holding in her mouth a short
time, swallowing nothing but the fluid
pressed out of it. This and few
ounces of liquids were all that entered
her stomach during her long fast of four
weeks She remained conscious till
within an hour of her death.
