soap; then, when the'mixture cools,
with u piece OF white flannel wipe
the gloves, previously fitted to the

Scientific American.
An unusually extensive and in
tercsting ice bridge was formed ear
ly This winter across the Niagara
River below the falls.
The architect OF this stupendous
structure, says an intelligent OBJ
server, is the South wind. A
steady blow from this quarter
causes the ice HI the Lake Erie,
twenty-five miles away, to break
up in gigantic fragments, which
float down the current of the Niagra
until they shoot the rapids and
plunge over the cataract--a sight
worth long journey to see. BE.

cakes lodge, here against II rock,

their predecessors, find lodgment

and dashing foam, and this process
goes on until the river is covered

tion increases, the cakes of ice be.

For the Democrat Star.
Three misguided youths at Fern
land, undertook to serenade GER
tain family containing several
young ladies at this place, on the
night of March 10th, but as the Sc
quel shows, their musical pow
ers were exercised In vain, and
the dulcet strains, vocal and
instrumental, evoked by them fell
upon unappreciative souls.
Mr.. J. II. figured as violinist,
| Mr.. j. NJ. as accordonist, and Mr..
J. S. L. as vocalist. This gifted ny
trio started out to have a good time
generally, and to court the smiles
Of certain young ladies of Fern
land through the medium of their
musical powers. Said young ladies
are inmates of Mr. Ii. b. LIS resi-
dence, distant about one fourth Of
mile above Fernland station.
They approached the gate and after
little preliminary tuning, began
playing the "kiss.n As the last
notes died away, terrible racket
was heard in the parlor; anoise that
sounded as if the chairs wore run
ming race with one another, and
turning somersaults. The patter
of little feet was also plainly dis
tiuguishxble among the din, and
youthful serenaders began to feel
queer. Tie racket soon subsided
however, as also did the light, and
the parlor was left in Egyptian
darkness. Now, If these young
men could have seen through y
mill- they would have eight
ed outD too. But they did not.
They struck up again, torturing
several pieces, winding up with the
sDevil's Dream" Tho parlor was
still dark. Our serenaders then
thought they had better leave, 50,
turning about, they started of,
singing "Left Out in the Cold.n
They had not gone far, however,
when the evil genius Of the vocal
ist tempted him to look back, and
10, and behold, the parlor door was
wide opeu; a brilliant light was
streaming forth, and in the door
stood two of Ewes fair daughters.
Now, our sereuaders we're only hu-
man, and who viii blame them for
heading toward such fair vision.
This time there was no racket, tho
parIor door remained open, the
light still shonc, but, alas, the Wis
ion vanished. Our heroes were de-
te:mined however, aud stepped
upon the porch. just as they step
ped the hrst step, there came to
their ears q sound resembling q
whirlvind in a corn patch, which
was nothing more or less than .

her flying feet carried her from be-
hind a picket fence where she had

The archaeological treasures Of Paris
will shortly include collection of old
boots. 1t will be the most curious
feature of the new sale to be opened
next month in connection with the
Musee de Cluny, and promises to be
the most complete history in leather OF
the bootmaker's art that the world has
yet seen. To the specimens already
acquired by the museum have Just been
added two famous private collections
namely, those of NJ. Jacquemart and
the Baron Schuter-together with a
number of boots once worn by Venetian
courtiers, purchased on behalf OF the
French Government in Italy few days
since. In the same room will be shown
the ancient tapestries and articles OF
clothing formerly belonging to the
Chateau de Boussac, which but for con-
venient French law would have passed
into foreign hands. The Commune OF
Boussac, being in want Of money, was
actually negotiating with German agents
for the sale of these relics of the past,
when the Government stepped in, claim
ing the collection under the Historical
Monuments law. The tapestries are
now being restored, and so cleverly will
the work be done that only the eye OF
an experienced archNoloRist will be able
to distinguish the new patches from the
ancient fabric.

British Ignorance of America.

| A correspondents from Paris, Says
| was lately at dinner party where the
guests were all Americans. and all oi
them had made a sojourn Of longer Oh
shorter duration in London. The con.
versation turned on the really comical
ignorance of all things American dis
played by the best educated English
people. and numerous anecdotes IN IL
lustration Of the top in question were
cited One of these related to the
son of former United States Minister
III London, Mr.. Edwards PierrepOnt.
At some public dinner one of the guests
asked Mr.. Pierrepont, jr., while his
father was IN the act of making a speech.
who the orator was. The young gen.
tleman made answer that that was the
American Minister. lis he Of the old
established Church or Dissenter?" was
the next question. But this does not
quite equal the query of the Archbishop
of Canterbury, who lately asked of an
American visitor to explain to him 1.-The
attitude assumed by the United States
toward Dissenters." A general OF our
army next told how he had accompanied
an English officer of high standing to
visit Newburg, and informed him that
Washington had once had his headquar-
tiers there. (Which Washington"
languidly demanded the Briton.
Next came an accomplished young
Southern gentleman, the son of United
States Senator. who described an in
terview that ne had recently had with
an English lady, who was introduced
to him as prodigy of intellect and of
learning. "You came from the South
ern States, sir?" she remarded amiably.
(Which Of the two do you come from
Missouri or Peru2" With great pres
ence of mind, my young friend in
formed her that he was then residing
i'll Peru, but intended shortly to re-
move to Missouri. But rather think
that the climax was capped by an
English author, who, on being told 10y
an American lady that she came from
Missouri, said, thoughtfully;-"Mis-
souri-let me ses-what State is that
in?" Missouri is State, ," responded
the lady. "Ah, yes-yes-to be sure

ing Of" Fortunately the lady In ques-
ton was well used to the peculiar
ign orance of Englishmen and English
society in general respecting our coun-
try, and she did not even smile.

BR Il Memories.

"When the old State Savings lnstitu.
ton failed in August. 1877" SAID Re,
ceiyer l.. i. Otis, "the books of the
bank showed the names of II, 600 de
positors, and OF this number IL ,2l2
have drawn dividend. The remaining
! 2, 1888 are-Do one knows where. The
face of their unclaimed deposits is $26,
! 600 or So, 900, and all efforts to find
them have proved unavailinR. Many
of these accounts are very small, and
! some are only for interest, but III order
| To pay final dividend il is necessary to
know Just how many claimants there
| are"
ION July q, 1882, six different divi-
dends. amounting i'll all to 45 per cent.
were IN process of payment. AS no
dividends had been drawn upon many
of the claims against the institution,
and for the parpose of enabling the re-
ceiver TO pay final dividend and wind
up the affairs of the institution, an order
was entered by the court that all credi-
tors and holders of depOsit-boOks should
draw their respective dividends on or
before December /, 1882. This date
was subsequently extended to February
/, 1888, after which time all claims
upon which dividends are not drawn by
that time are barred and excluded from
any participation i'll the funds of the
institution IN the hands of the receiver.
There is now, and III all probability
will be on February | next, about S26, :
900 of unclaimed accounts, and the
dividends on these will therefore go to
the other depositors, thus increasing
the amount they will receive.
Within the last month the receiver
and his clerks have gone through the
books of the institution, and, using the
latest city directory, besides resortlng
TO other means, have endeavored TO find
out the whereabouts of these unknown
claimants and notify them 10y circular
that dividends were awaiting their
pleasure. AS result we have made
some interesting discoveries.
There was an account of 1927 rs,
for instance, in favor of George z. Lee,
formerly assistant treasurer OF the Chi
cago u Northwestern Railway. He
moved from Chicago to Fond du Lac,
Wis, III 1870. He was traced to that
place, and when informed of the fact
could give no explanation of 1t. He
had at one time done large business
with the bank, and supposed he had
drawn out everything. He was, how
ever, glad to draw his dividend.
There are stlll z, 1888 unknown claim
ants, and very few II any of these will
be found. The tire scattered a large
number of them. and many of the serv-
ants who had small sums in the bank
went back to Europe. l an still trying

The claims against the bank amounted

l next, about 81 500, 900 will have been
