How the Diviner Found the Pin.

At a scance in Lancaster, Pa,
thought reader boosted that he could
find marked pin hid by one OF the
audience. Several of them came for
ward, among whom was confederate.
The pin was hid by a Trinity student
in an adjoining room in the presence OF
the committee. among whom was the
confederate. The student, suspecting
this man from his looks, slyly took the
pin away from its hiding place. On the
return to the platform the thought
reader gazed into the hider's face. and
putting his hand to his brow was blind
folded and led the student to the place,
but of course could find no pin. he
returned acknowledging defeat and
looking daggers at his confederate.
Snow, gentlemen" said the student,
.I'll undertake to say that if this 'di-
viner of the human mind will do as !
tell him, half the audience will. with
out single hint from me, know where
the pin is and turning to the though,
reader he said, '.sit down" He die
so. There was a yell, and. jumping
up, the thought reader hastily pullese
from the seat of his trousers the mark

To Re Un-American Is IntoleraDie'

A well-known writer has said that he
should send his boy to the West to be
educated, where life was very lively,
very American, says the Boston Globe.
II is indeed noticeable that Western
life is very lively. In fact the distin-
guisbinp feature of Western life Is its
spontaneity.
One cannot pick up @Western paper
without finding an account OF some
sprightly affair closing in this way: III
the Villain is caught he will surely be
lynched. .,,. :. .ho
article ending thus: 1.-The whole coun-
trv is aroused, and the murderer can
hardly fail to meet the fate OF his IN
fortunate victim. ,,,
One reads often of the lively little
parties of which the finale is: 1.-The
wretch was hung to convenient tree
and his carcass was riddled with Dull
lets"
A feature of this very American
Western life, Us one gathers from TIT
enterprising local journals, is the al
fairs where ..the citizens brook no op
position, and it is doubtful if the walls
of the Jail are able to preserve Thu
fiend in human form from q violen
death"
Yes the West is the only place for
Young man to be educated in. Life !
SO very lively, SO very spontaneous, s
very American.

Sailing Among Glaciers.

We had already sailed past several
glaciers larger than the Mer-de-Glace.
of Mont Blanc, but they were SO far
away that we got no adequate idea OF
their extent. Nor did any of them
push their way Into, the sea. Inns
glacier, to which our boat was not
pointed, came down into deep water.
and stretched back into the mountains
until its course was lost in fields OK
snow. AS the steamer checked her
speed to keep at safe distance from
the monster, We found that we had
sailed up point-blank against vertical
wall of blue ice mile and half long.
and 800 feet high above the water! AS
il to illustrate the grand scale and
magnitude of everything, just as our
boat rounded to, q chip of ice safely
estimated to weigh 1900 tons. broke
off from the face of the glacier and fell
a distance of 100 feet into the sea. VI
course there followed mighty uproar,
and then q wave that rocked our
steamer as do only the big swells from
the Pacific. As the tide was ebbing,
the mass that had just fallen into the
water Hoated out past the boat, form
ing q field of broken ice several acres
in extent
The upper surface of the glacier was
full of deep assures, and at the water
level there were mysterious caves when
no one dared explore. Pieces OF ice,
large and small, were constantly drop.
ping into the sea; and, as the ice-wall
acted as sounding-board, there were
constant volleys of sound as sharp as
that of musketry or artillery-demon'
strating to our satisfaction that the
butt-end of glacier, where icebergs
are made, Is q very noisy place.
Passengers were landed on shore
and. after climb along the side
moraine to hight of some 500 feet,
few of us found ourselves at poin
where we could overlook tho stream
of ice and get an idea OF Its deel
assures and impossible condition
High as we were there were yet peak
of ice between us and the water tina
were still above us, and we could onl.
see fraction of mile inland. Every
thing was on q scale that could only b
realized by the test of climbing. Along
side the glacier, in mid-channel, Their
were seyenty-five fathoms OF water
and, as the steamer approached shor
to land us, the leadsman reported n
bottom ut twelve fathoms-
Only last year did the boat make II
/. first trip to this glacier. Farther u
the bay four or five other glaciers com
down from the Fairweather group
mountains, but very little is know
about them. We only caught an o.
casional glimpse of the glaciers, an
saw that but small part of the hoa
ing ice in the bay came from the in
mense reservoir Of ice that we ha
visited.

What a Kentucky BurgoO Is.

..you would probably be invited to

burpoo (accent on the last syllable) is
