a Perpetual Ice-Gorgss

Within an hours ride OF Newton, New
Jersey, during the last Summer might
have been seen one Of the strangest sights
In THIS country-a perpetual lce-gorge.
This gorge exists at the foot of the Blue
Noun tains. back OF HWattSwood Lake and
Mddleville, and is but few miles west of
Newton. The gorge is several hundred
yards in extent from ten TO thirty feet
deep, with numerous caves and Cleits in
the rock where the ice hes. The man
gorge is located but short distance from
the mountain, and the shade at that spot
is very dense, the sun apparently never
penetrating it. The entire bottom of the
gorge is covered with thick, clear ice, and
the crevices aud caves are filled with it.
That it is natural Ice house there can be
no doubt, hundreds of tons might he taken
out without appreciably decreasing the
quantity. Much of this great mass has
doubtless lam there for years, the Ice grad
ually melting on top and being added TO
each year. The thermometer which dur
ing the recent drought and ''hot spell" reg
lstered l03 degrees in Newton, marked just
SS degrees al the same time al the bottom
Of the gorge-too cold for a person TO re-
main there any length of time. \ few
feet from one end OF the gorge spring Of
the most delicious sparkling water bubbles
up through the ice. Ii tastes slightly of
IRON and is very sali factory 10 the III rst.
This water stands at thirty-fOur degrees
about as cold as one could comfortably
drink it,
Samuel Thompson, who owns the farm
on which this natural. curiosity has been
found, said when asked about the gorge
by re porter; why, yes, | 'spose 1t is
rather remarkable, though We never set no
store by it, 'cept when we wanted ice.
The ne.ghbors all goes there wheu tn ey
wants ice and faint necessary for thu ID
any ice houses round here. Early in the
spring tn gorge is filed clean to the top
with clear ice, but long in the summer it
gets melted down, bu. then they's alters
tons and tons o ice thar an they heG been
ever since | kin rem'ber. Yesee tn water
runs down often tn mountain inter that
holler during tn fall and as they amt
much outlet it jest stays thar an freezes.
l 'spose some O tn ice in that thar cave
has been thar forever. The water in the
spring, though, is mighty good tastin', and
my wife sets great store by it, cause she
says 'tpowerful good fer rheumatic. We
hev knowed bout the gorge fer years, but
ez l reckoned they was plenty jest like it
round the country never said much bout
tn ol thing. Yes, they hez been a good
many people round here t see tn spring
this summer, but mostly city chaps that
was boardin' over t Nowton an come out
jest t see tn sight" MIR. Thompson has
been offered large sums of money by en-
terplising capitalists for the gorge, but
declined TO sell, as he is wealthy and thinks
the property is worth jus; as mnch to him
as it would be to some one else.

R2MANuo-The Deadwood maiden is

ROMANTIC The Deadwood maiden is
sometimes vlvacious, never sentimental
and always frank. The shades of night
were falling fast as she wriggled little
closer to him and playfully toying with
the lobe OF his left ear, said: '.Pve a
favor to ask of you, Ferdinand. "Any-
thing that can do for you, Clara, darling,
you know I'd be only too happy to under
take" She changed TO the lobe of the
right ear took another wriggle and went
on: "Well, then, want you to leave of
whiskey straight for a while and try rock
and rye" His looks expressed his aston
ishment as he uttered the single monosyl-
liable "Why2" Because" she answered,
continuing her caresses. Charley Benton
drinks nothing but rock and rye, and his
moustache tastes so much swecter than
yours does" Three months later Ferdl-
nand entered the holy state of wedlock, but
Clara, still pines upon the stem.

The young people pleaded, but all to no

very simple language: 1--WE will go further.
Get, into the buggy, my dear. Judge
Manion, you may prepare for another race.
We are off for Gallatin." The young man
meant exactly what he said, AID IN a few
minutes the race was renewed. The dis
tance to Gallatln was eighteen miles, bnt
the buggy horse was staunch and as true
as the love of the young couple he was
drawing. He leaped nimbly away from
the string, and once more got the best of
the start. Judge Mahlon, nothing daunt-
ed, again took TO the saddle and put spurs
to his faithful courser. For four miles the
race was neck and ne ok, neither entr for
the grand prize tagging; but at the finish
of that distance the horse under saddle
cast shoe and stumbled to the ground,
completely exhausted. The buggy then
glided, unaccompanied, TO Gallatln. \
preacher was secured, and the wedding
vas performed at the principal hotel in
the presence of dozen specially invited
guests.

AGRICULTURAL.

ECONOMY OF USING OXEN. The farmers
of the Western States are at greater eX-
pense for teams To do their work than per
sons engaged in the same kind of business
elsewhere. They almost invariably employ
small or medium sized horses for all kinds
of field operations, as we'll rs for teaming.
They are able to do their work with horses
because their land is productive and yields
very large crops. Small farmers in the
New England and Southern States cannot
generally afford TO use horses for plowing
and most other kinds of field work on
account of the expense attending them.
The employment of machinery on farms
has favored the use OF horses. They move
quicker and can be managed better than
oxen and mules. In many parts Of the
prairie region of the West young farmers
are entirely unacquainted with the use Of
any other ANIMALS for doing any other kind
of work. Still, many farmers. especially
those having small means would lind 1t
profitable to employ oxen for doing much
of their work. Oxen can be put To work
year earlier than horses eau, anu can he
raised much cheaper. 1t costs less 10 keep
them and they are worth more after they
have outhved their working years. They
require less protection. and Will stand eX-
posure much better. They require no har-
ness and, unless they travel On ice, need
no shoes. They receive less injury from
insects, and will WORK better when the
weather is stormy or severely cold or no.
They are less liable To Injury and less su -
iect To disease For drawing heavy loads
over poor roads or plowed Fields they are
vastly superior to horses. They are better
for hauling manure, as they work well
when attached TO carts having but two
wheels. Oxen make an excellent team for
breaking prairie, for repaning roads, for
hauling stone, aud for clearing land OF
sIumps. Several pairs OF oxen can be
worked together to better advantage than
horses. Oxen, if not kept till they are
old, can be converted into marketable beef
and sold at price that will pay for raising
and keeping them. Their labor Will be
gain. Horses, however, begin 10 depre-
ciate in value soon after they attain their
growth and eventually become of no
value.

How A Conjurer Amused Himself.

Verheck, the we'll known prestidiglta-
teur, once took it into his head 10 patronI7e
hair dresser in a rather unfashionabe
quarter of karls. The establishment wore
a not very prosperous aspect, the staff
seeming tar more numerous than the Gus
toners. At the conclusion of his first
visit, Verbebk, after paying his twenty live
centlmes for being shaved, with some os-
tentation dropped two franc piece into
the receptacle for the pourbolres. A loud
aud general Thank you, mon sieur," " nat
uralIy greeted this prlnccly proceeding,
the garcous vying with one another as TO
who should show the generous cher most
attention. On the succeeding day Verbeck
made his appearance IN the shop about the
came hour, and was received with marked
respect. One assistant got a new cake of
soap ready, another produced a napkin of
ivory whiteness, while a third carefully
stropped the best razor in the place. The
proprietor himself offered his new customer
a paper, and even the lady of the house
stepped down from her compton to ask
whether ''monsleur" would like a foot
warmer. Verbeck, however, calmly paid
the twenty centimes and dropped couple
OF francs into the money box as before.
On the third day there was even greater
Difference on the part of master, mistress,
and men. Two pots of flowers had been
brought down from the ladys own room to
deck the toilet table in front OF which the
open handed customer was in the habit of
seating himself. On the fourth day the
hairdresser's youthful daughter paid hlm
pretty little compliment, at the end of the
operation the two francs sliding INTO the
box as usual. On Saturday, the dGy on
which the money box had to be opened,
the excitement became excessive. The
in an unguarded moment, de-
cIded upon closing the shop an hour before
the usual time, and all made up their minds
that the wealthy customers silver should
forthwith be spent in a neighborlng wine
shop. SO far, good. On opening the box,
however, to the disgust of the expectant
circle, not a single piece of silver was to
be found. AS natural result, everybody
began to suspect everybody else, the mis-
trust OF the garcons gradually centerlng on
the unfortunate proprietor. The mlstrust
deepened into hints, and the hints into
open charges of malversation of the moneys
placed in the supposed culprits keeping;
and the position of the latter had become
far from enviable when luckily Verbeck
thought it time to reveal his identity.
Having explained that he had always sub
stituted a sou for two franc piece by
slight of hand when seeming to drop the
silver into the box, and having compen-
sated the garcons by the present of a louis,
mutual apologies were exchanged between
employer and employed, and the post
poned visit was made to the wine shop.

In order that the rising generation of men
in France may be instructed in rifle practice
before even they enter the army, sum of
1,000,0 000f is TO be applied by the minister
of war to the purchase of guns for the use
of boys In elementary schools. These
aims will be similar to the regulation army
rifles, but of course, lighter. Each school
is to receive three, of which one will be

SANITARY CONDITION or FARM HoUsEs.
Farmers who are ahout To build houses,
by observing certain precautionary meas
ures will greatly mitigate all sickness
arising from malaria, such as ague or inter
mittent fever and neuralgia. The farm
house should be situated not only on high
ground that has dry surface, hut the sub
soil ought also TO be dry. In word il
should have perfect drainage, natural or
artificial. The drainage OF the ground
about the house is OF great importance,
and this should be directed away from the
well that supplies the water for domestic
use. A whole chapter might be written on
the evils resulting from drinking water
from wells that are supplied with surface
water aud the tiltcriLg of lOp-drainS, etc.
In districts in near proximity To rivers,
marshes or other sources OF malaria, ac-
count should be taken of the direction of
prevailing winds, so that the house will
not be erected on the side of these mala-
ria producing districts to receive the mala
ria brought by the winds. For instance.
if the prevailing winds are westerly, avoid
building on the east side of a marsh or
pond. While q house ought not 10 be
densely shaded by trees, it Is well, IN damp
localities, to plant rapidly-growing trees,
because they take up much of the mois-
ture In malarial sections the sleeping
rooms should be at the top of the house,
not on the ground floor, An observance
of these and similar rules will do much to-
ward promoting the health of a family.
One word more-Avoid outdoor exposure
early in the morning aud late at night in
malarious regions; boil all the water that
Is used for drinking pusposes, and prevent
any vegetable matter from decaying III or
around the dwelling.

A Chinese physicist asserts that the law
which is commonly accepted, and which
states that the octave of any note may be
produced by doubling the length of the
musical cord or tube, is strictly true only
for cords. He says that experiments with
tubes of different lengths and diameters
have led him to the conclusion that the
ratio OF length is as to instead of to 2.
The interest Of the Chinese In foreign sci
ence Is shown by the publication of nu-
merous EnglIst and American scientific
treatises in the Chinese language.
