Sport With the Toboggan Such as May be
Seen in Canada this Week.
Montreal Letter in the Chicago Herald.
The great ice festival viii occur
during February. The most important
event Of the carnival will undoubtedly
be the bombardment of the Ice Palace
by two thousand snow-shoers and de-
Tended by as many Canadian militiamen.
The design Of the palace resembles a
Norman castle with a main tower Of 96
feet in height, and frontage Of $50
feet. The pearly tints of the walls, il
Illuminated from within by electric light,
already experimental with, is indescri-
badly fine, and during the week it will
be made the scene of pyrotechnic dis
PLAYS and illuminated with colored fires.
To an American, however, the attrac-
ton par excellence of carnival week is
the toboggan hills. What can be more
delightful? On a beautiful moonlight
night. almost as clear as day, away up
near the summit of Mount Royal, the
ice bound valley of the St. Lawrence be-
low the green hills of Vermont standing,
boldly ont in the distance, and jolly
party of ladies and gentlemen clad IN
their comfortable blanket seats bent up
on. having all the fun possible. The
slides on each side illuminated with
Chinese lanterns, while at the top and
bottom huge honfires light up the sur
rounding pines The sport grows fast
and furious; toboggan after toboggan
flies past at lightning speed, fun and
mirth reign supreme and far into the
night is heard the tinkle of the toboggan
bell and the hearty and joyous laughter
of the fair occupants.
The distance down the slide
varies from 800 to 1000 feet, the--in
cline for the first quarter being about
ope.ia height The speed IS appalling
and when steel toboggins are used the
distance is trayersed at something under
a mile minute. TO the uninitiated it
appears dangerous to a degree, but after
one trip with careful and experienced
pilot there are few who do not become
fairly enchanted with the sport and viii
hing to get aboard until further orders.
Again, we have our snow-shoe tramps
and steeplechases over Mount Royal,
one evening in each week being set
apart to Ladies' Tramp, and at which
hundreds of fair Canadians don the rG-
quote. strike boldly across the mountain,
over its pine-clad summit, until the
club house is reached, and then, after a
hearty supper has been enjoyed, dane
ing and singing are INDUCED In with a
qusto and spirit seldom seen under 9TH
er circumstances.

An Apology.

George the Third was popular with
the English people. They represented
him for the purity Of his domestic life,
and called him Farmer George" on ac-
count Of his plebeian ways and his good
nature.
The King loved to mingle familiarly
with his subject and cared little for
court etiquette which made hedge
about him.
One day, while returning from hunt
ing, the King entered into conversation
with his merchant, Mr.. Cabornel.
The two rode side by side a long way,
much to the distress of Lord Walsing-
ham, the gentleman-in- waiting.
Watching his opportunity, his lord
ship took the the merchant aside and
whispered something in his ear.
s'What'sthat? What's that Walsingham
has been saying to you?" saked the
good humored King, seeing that the
merchant appeared annoyed.
II find, sir" said the merchant,
''that I have been unintentionally guilty
of disrespect to your Majesty. My lord
informs me tDab ought W TAME VI my
hat whenever l address your Majesty.
But your Majesty will please to notice
that my hat is fastened to my wig and
my wig is fastened to my head, and
am on the back of a spirited horse.
So that if anything goes off, we must
all 90 off togather."
The King laughed heartily at the
apology, and babe the merchant keep
on his hat.

A Maiden's idea of Marriage.

So she was going to be married to
be mistress of house; settle in Lon
don; be able to go out into the streets
all alone, to shop or visit; have a gem
tleman all her own, which she could
put her finger on any moment, and
make him take her about, even to the
opera and the theater; to give dinner
parties her ownself, and even little
ball once in while; to buy whatever
dresses she thought proper, instead Of
being crippeled by an allowance; have
the legal right of speaking first in soci-
ETY., instead of sitting mumchance and
mock modest: to be mistress instead of
miss-a contemplate title; to be a
woman instead of a girl; and all
this rational liberty, domestic
power, and social dignity were to be OBJ
tanned by merely wedding q dear fellow
who loved her and was so nice; and the
bright career to be usherel in with sew
eral delights, each of them dear to a
girls very soul: presents from all her
friends: as many beautiful new dresses
as if one was changing her body or her
hemisphere instead of her name; eclat;
going to church, which is a girls theater
Of display and temple of vanity, and
there tasting delightful publicity and
whispered admiration in heavenly
long veil which she could not wear even
once if she remained single. This
bright and variegated picture of holy
wedlock, as revealed to young ladies by
feminine tradition, though not enumer-
ated in the Book of Common Prayer,
50 entranced her that time flew by I'M
heedeli.- Charles Reade,

Terrible Fate of Two Prisoners at
= Wausau.

Wausau, Wis, Special Telegram,
Feb. 11.-At II o'clock Sunday night
the county jail was discovered on fire.
Those who reached it first heard awful
screams for help from the two prisoners,
When the key came and the door was
opened, blast of flame broke out
making it impossible to enter Edward
Carey, who was in the north cell, was
then alive but had fallen back from the
window and moaned little for a mo-
ment. The south cell, where Michael
McDermott was, was q mass of flames.
The outside door opens into corridor
where the stove is, and there is a cell
on each side McDermott was In for
common drunk and was locked In the
south cell Carey had the north cell
and the corridor to himself. McDer-
motifs body was burned to a crisp, but
Carey's was burned but little. The iaA,
though of wood, was safe from any ac-
cidental fire Neither of the men was
drunk Carey had spent term at
Waupun for arson and there were waE-
rants against him for various offaasSa-
including. forgery and counterfeiting
1t is said that he tried to burn his own
sister in a barn in Columbia county.
The prisoners must have set the fire in
order to escape, as it is not probable
that it was accidental.

Abuse Of Rich rGen.

1t is about time that justice was dons
in fiction to our rich men. They have
Jared rather badly in our literature
until the advent of the new school who
would have us believe that only the
weak and mean things in common life
are fit to be noted as foils for the calm,
sweet life that floats above tin the
mystic realm where millions are no
more than pennies to the poor. There
has been strange propensity ON the
part of the American novelist hereto
fore to almost make war on the very
richest rich of our land. He has de-
lighted in tracing them back to the
dungIin, in showing by what arts they
rose, and noting the effect of these
things upon the tinsel lives of upper
tendon. That day is gone, and we are
evidently nearing the millennium when
the only people worth knowing will be
those whose fortunes are writ IN six fig
ures. We are glad to see it. tits time

Scientific scintiIlations.

A vessel 25 feet long by s feet breadth
of beam was recently launched at st.
Petersburg. She is built of paper.
Her draught of water is very small, and
she is wen adapted for sailing on shall
low rivers. Her motive power is steam.
While favoring the increased atten-
ton paid to the physical training of
young and growing girls, the Lancet
believes that the extension of competi-
tive athletic sports to our girl schools
would be a great mistake.
Prof. A. Nantier has been tyring the
effect of various manures upon potatoes,
beets, and maize. Super phosphate and
precipitated phosphate were most effica-
cious in increasing the yield of pota-
toes Precipitated phosphate proved
in every respect more beneficial than
the super phosphate with beets. The
best crops of maize were raised from
land treated with the farm yard.
In the treatment of eczema of the
scalp in infants, DIR. LASER employs
the following formula: Salicylic acid
one part, tincture of benzoin two parts,
and vaseline fifty parts. A certain
quantity of this is smeared over the
scalp two or three times day, after
the infants head has been washed with
soap and water To soften the scabs
and to facilitate the cleaning of the
scalp, DIR. LASER recommends the en-
ployment of oil containing 2 per cent.
Of salicylic acid.
Those who have never seen the much
talked-of Dynamite explosive will be
interested to know that it looks very
much like moist brown sugar. Nitro
glycerine, which is formed by the ac-
ton of nitric acid upon glycerine, at a
low temperature, is the active agent in
dynamite. but is mixed with some
absorbent substance to render it safer
to handle than the liquid glycerine.
The absorbent material thus used is a
silicious earth---a fine white powder
composed of the remains of infusoria,
and resembling powdered chalk; this
takes up two or three times its weight
of the nitro giycerine without becoming
pastry, and the ingredients are easily
mixed, leaden vessels and wooden
spoons being used to avoid dangerous
friction When fire is applied to this
mass it burns with a strong flame, with
out any explosion; but when ignified by
decorating fuse, or even by a sudden
blow, its explosive force is tremendous.

Precious Stones in the United
States.
,nrinefield Republican.


George f. Kunz has contributed to
s'The Mineral Resources of the United
States, . published by the Government,
an article on American gems and pre-
eions stones. Systematic mining for
gems and precious stones is carried on
only of Paris, Me-, and Stony Point,
n c., but they are gathered on the sur
face in many places, as sapphires IN
Montana, moss agates in Colorado and
agates at Lake Superior.
Some eight different minerals occur
in the United States which have been
nsed as gems. Twelve of these occur
in the United States only. Diamonds
ore not mined in this country, although
they have occasionally been found at a
number of localities. A large diamond
was found at Manchester, opposite Rich
mond, Va, by laborer employed in
grading one of the streets. 1t was an
octahedron, and weighed after it was
cut over ten carats 1t was worth 81,
600 before cutting.
The principal localities for sapphires
and rubies are in New Mexico, Arizona
and Southern Colorado, where they oc-
cur in the sand, often on ant hills.
| Garnets occur in the same region, about
$500 worth of cut stones being annually
produced
1t is estimated that the value of the
tourmalines taken from Mount Mica,
Me, is between $4,000 and $65, 900.
Tourmaline and hiddenite are regularly
mined at Stony Point, n c., some
$500 worth having already been sold.
Rock crystal is gathered and cut in
large quantities, the sales at different
localities probably amounting to $40,
600 annually. Much of it is cut for
iewelry, as Lake George or Cape May
diamonds. The clear crystal for opti-
| cal purposes is almost entirely Brazil
ian, as the good fnitely more inexhaus-
tible than the famed cedars of Lebanon.
Such a country, covering as it does an
area of more than half million square
miles, having a long coast line, good
harbors, many habitable islands, mines
| of the precious and useful metals, for
ests without end, fisheries and great
rivers, albeit its depths are as yet un-
explored, is not to be condemned out OF
hand as the Kansas senator condemns it,

Wendell Phillips Marriage.

Mr. Thomas G.. Appleton, of Boston,
says: 81 suppose you are familiar with
the story of Mr.. Phillips marriage?
How gentleman asked AIr. Sumner to
act as escort to a young lady who was
going to the convention at Albany, and
Mr.. Sumner, being unable to go, re.
signed in favor of Mr.. Phillips. How
Mr.. Phillips acted as her escort. and
lost his heart to her before he got back.
How he called upon her often in this
city. but was not admitted, owing to
her feeble health, but finally he almost
broke his way to her and offered her his
hand. She said she would never marry
a man unless he would swear eternal en-
nifty to slavery; but it was not necessary
for Mr.. Phillips to take that oath; he
had already sworn it in his heart. So
thew were married, and the story Of low
ING devotion and perfect sympathy is as
much matter of public knowledge as
such a sacred subject should be.
