Sailing Among Glaciers.

We hac already sailed past several
glaciers larger than the Mer-de- u lace,
OF Mont Blanc, but they were 30 far
away tnat we got no adequate idea of
their extent. Nor did any Of them
push their way into the sea. This
glacier to which our boat was now
pointed, came down into deep water,
and stretched back into the mountains
until its course was lost IN fields of
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.

magnitude of everything, Just as our
boat rounded to, chip of ice, safely
estimated to weigh l, $40 tons, broke
OH from the face of the glacier and fell
a distance of 100 feet into the sea. OF
course there followed mighty uproar,
and then a wave that rocked our
steamer as do ouly the big swells from
the Pacific, AS the tide was ebbing,
the mass that had Just fallen into the
water tloated ont past the boat, form.

extent.
The upper surface OF the glscier was
full OF deep assures, and at the water
level there were mysterious caves which
no one dared explore. Pieces of ice,
large and small, were constantly drop.

acted az sounding. board. there were

ftratinR 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 climbing along the 81 !,
moraine to height of some 500 feet,
few OF us found ourselves at a poin
where we could overlook the stream o.
Ice and get an idea of its deep assures
and impossible condition. HIgh as W,
were there were yet peaks Of ice be
tween us and the water that we're stll
above US, ana we could only see a frac
ton OF mile inland. Everything wa
on a scale that could only be realizei
by the test of climbing, Alongside tn
glacier, in mid-chaInel, there wer
seventy five fathOms of water; and, a
the steamer approached shore TO Ian
us, the leaisman reported no bottom a
twelve fathoms.
Only last year did the boat make it
first trip to this glacier. Farther u

down from the Fairweather group q
mountains, but very little is know
about them. We only caught an occl

Close to the station at Devon, near

that famous suburban resort, lives

of his mother, whose place he farms. is
a very ancient tall corner clock, with
which is associated one of those singu-

Valley Forge abounds in. When Howe's
army was in Philadelphia, among the
officers who came out on sOrtles in this
direction was Col. Norton, a handsome
English officer. There lived in the old
house with Farmer Howell his beauti-
full daughter, the widow Jarrett, whom
Jhe colonel no sooner saw than he fell
in love with and she with him. Farm
er Howell did not like it, and did all in
his power to discourage his daughters
infatuation, but without avail. There
was high wall about the house, with
steps going down, and here the farmer
stood until late in the evening, looking
over and absorbed in thought. The

was to busy too waste much time in
ceremonious babble, and we began our
tour of the institution forthwith.
First we visited the department of
cows. Here were bossies with all sorts
of diseases and misfortunes. One had
a hind leg cut off above the knee.
Several had stiff legs that projected ia
various awkward ways, and seemed TO
be quite paralyzed. Others had sores
upon their bodies that were pitiable to
look upon. There were few calves
that had not inherited the mothers

were given to poor people. The place
was not inviting, of course, for no
place can be where such lOathsoma all
ments are brought together; but at
least the animals had enough to eat,
with kind treatment besides. and IT is
rebuke to our civilization that we
have no such Institution. This hospi-
tai is public charity, kept up by the
''heathen'' residents of Bombay, with
such aid from outsiders as may yolun-
tarily be contributed.
The horses department was a repeti-
ton of the diseases and malformations
witnessed among the boyines. Two
very aged animals were dying upon the
floor of their stalls.

SUMNER CARE OF CATTLE. During
the winter months cattle kept under
projecting roofs are brought more closely
under the eyes OF their attendants than
throughout the grass season, especially
where the range of pasturage is exteu-
sive; and if those attendants and their
eyes are worth anything, the slightest
symptom of illness or Of any other event,
casual or periodical, needing special at
teution, will be instantly noticed. 1t
is not necessarily 80 in summer, when
the cattle mostly attend to their own
wants as regards food and water. and,
excepting the COWS when hand-milked,
those which live out OF doors are not
brought under the notice of any one,
for hours, or even days at a stretch, un.
less special provision is made for the
frequent and systematic inspection of
the whole herd. Where the cattle are
of any considerable value, and a single
loss falls heavily upon the owner, it is
all the more important that the inter-
walls between the rounds of inspection
should not be too long.
