A man, seeming about GO years of

The Alaska Glacier.
Philadelphia Record

Alaska's magnificent glacier drags
slowly on It's dreary way at the proba-
bic rate of quarter of a mile per
year. At the face or front it presents
a perpendicular wall of ice 500 feet
thick, and varies from to 10 miles
in width, extending back to the north
probably $50 miles. Hundreds of tons
of ice are falling off the face of this
great glacier every few minutes into
the bay. splashing the water more
than fifty feet high, and rolling up
waves that toss the ships like small
toy boats. The appearance of the
ice, the most pure in the world, is
dazzling to the eye, all the tints of
blue, from the most delicate to the
deepest indigo, being represented. The
top surface abounds with little hillocks
and miniature mountains of ice. Great
areas af earth, gravel, and large
rocks the size of house are earned
on the top of this ice field from place
to place, as this great foe, more than
a thousand feet deep of solid ice, moves
toward the sea.

A lady, whose beautiful plants are

loving secret on her success: The soil

not according to any particular rule;
but the chief reason for their wonder

rival those that have the morning

"It has been very odd from the be-
ginning" said the president, with a
curious smile, which looked as if it
might break into a fit of hysterical
laughter with a little more provoca-
toni may say, very odd indeed"
''Do you have reference to the
mush, President Lambeth n Miss Ly
man inquired, demurely. II hope
there was nothing idiosyncratic about
thatl"
The president removed his glass
es, drew his hand across his eyes,
shaded his mouth little to hide the
mirthful Fuckers that hedged it
about, as frame, and then, positive
ly unable to control himself another
instant, burst into a hearty peal of
laughter, in which the cook was fain
to join.
1T was idiosyncratic," he replied
at last, and | was hoping that as you
were only here temporarily. might
induce you to keep on making mush
for me-idiosyncratic mush;" and
here the president, quite shorn of his
college dignity, burst out laughing
again.
"You have shown excellent taste
about mush, president" Miss Lyman
went on to say. 81 induced Mrs.
Stapleton to bring some middlings up
with her. Don't forget, sir, that the
mush which you preferred was made
from middlings."
"And yet it could never be called
middliag mush, :" the gentleman res
ponded, and execrable pun though it
was, both mush maker and mush
partaker seemed pleased with it,
just before the midday meal the
original cook returned, and Frances
Lyman, teacher Of the higher math-
ematics in -- college, faultlessly
arrayed, her sunny face SUMMER than
ever, was formally presented to Presi-
dent Lambeth, of another college. 1t
was brilliant and long ITO -be-remem-
dered occasion.
" Frances" said Mrs. Stapleton,
President Lambeth told my husband
in confidence that he was prepared to
offer you $25 month. "
"Unexceptionable wages, said
Miss Lyman, with onlya slight hight
enlng OF COLOR. Ii L aul ever us
missed from college, president, will
certainly call upon you for a refer
ence.
But the climax of fun was reached
when the professor suddenly struck
an tt.tude, and addressed his wife
after this fashion: "And now my
child, l do hope that when we get
back to town you will ask Frances to
teach you how to make some af these
nice things"
For single moment-probably for
the first time in her life-Mrs, Staple
ton was speechless. Il have given
up my kitchen to the despoiler of my
happiness But Ross Stapleton, [
promised to box your ears if you ever
uttered them words; and when we are
alone / will do it."
These incidents occurred over a
year ago, and Frances Lyman is still
teaching the higher mathematics but
report says that she intends to accept
another position soon, where she can
work and minister to her hearts con-
cent. This state of affairs is pro
nounced by Mrs. Stapleton to be the
"mushiest engagement on record. -

ton is pending in the United States
district Court in Oregon. A lady in
iured by the accidental discharge of a
revolver while travelling in Pull

$25, 600 damages. 1t appears that the
porter, to whom the weapon was
handed for safe keeping by another
passenger, let it drop and caused 1T to
explode, to the injury of tie lady IN
question. The defendants lawyers
are trying to show that the porter
was not in this instance performing
one Of his duties, and that, therefore,
damages for his carelessness ought not
to be paid.
