The Prime Of Life.

People call the age of forty ''the
prime of lite." Who invented that
knocking phrase? Some subacid cynic,
doubtless. Because it is not the prime
OF life. Nv any means. At forty Your
hair at The temples is whitening; At
iorty your figure" is broadening; at
forty you begin to be called "a harm-
less old fellow by your pretty nieces
and their friends. A most disgusting
time OF lie! Wllen with dignified steps
you march toward your yawning grave
at seyep.y-tivc, you are at least an OBJ
iact of respect and revercncr-if you
have money. Your white locks and
your snowy beard crown you with the
majesty OF old. But to be forty! you
are neither young or old. Your hair
is pepper and salt color. Your speech
has become, in spite Of yourself. set in
sti.tel sentences. You perhaps would
flirt. but in the attempt you meet with
dire disaster. This enterprise is met
with the gigglcs OF %giriEood. and You
are driven ANONYMOUSLY from the
| scene by some ''masher' OF twenty
summers. the real prime OF life Is
vnen Your muscles are like twisted
cords OF Bcssemcr steel (you don't care
much about girls at that time) and
your lungs like tho bellows that blow
| the smelling furnace; when you have
only TO say one pretty thing, show your
| white teeth AMI twist up the ends OF
your youthful musiachc. and any prct-
ty girl you want just signs once and
,umb.es into your arms. This is the
prime of life. II is all over when you

Natural Ice Reservoir.

In many countries ice is obtained
from natural ice houses, wherein. while
Tie ordinary temperature outside is so
degrees, ice Is still forming. Such q
fSvine or cavern has been found in
New Jersey. and near Lincoln, VT.
there is a glen in which snow and ice
lie all the year round. One of the
ost remarkable Of these ice cavernsi Il
that OF Dobschan, in Hungary. It 10
quite near the town. and is approached
through a narrow winding limestone
valley called ''Stracenaer Thai" 1t 10
IN the interior of . mountain, having .
general direction east and west. The
entrance Is near the top, and extreme.
ly narrow. and was only discovered BY
accident. Once inside, . r~cmnrkapie
scene is beheld, the ice. which seeras
formed1n many layers, having tss6ullk6
sSssssy !! 4H sSsaf q6sk and Is u.
face in the cave alone occupy about
$1,000 square feet.
The cave is divided into two parts,
upper and lower. In the upper part
the roof is of limestone and the floor OF
solid ice, and it is divided into two
great halls of wondrous beauty. The
roof of tie largest hall is supported by
three enormous pillars of clear ice, n
OF which is hollow, and through which
dows u stream from above, producing
TRANCE echoes and reverberations.
All about are fantastic forms of ice re-
sembling human beings. pulpits, mon
umcnts, and SO on, giving to the cave
most %grotesque appearance. In one
end the ice forms an exact representa-
ton of a large cascade, as ii a rushing
stream with its spray had suddenly
been frozen solid. Descending to the
lower room, the passage is 600 feet in
length, and by following down through
the ice you come to the natural outlet
OF the water.
In all countries such caves have
been found. So extensive is the ice
cavern on the Peak of Teneriffe that it
affords a permanent source Of supply,
and even vessels are loaded with its
ice. This ice Is columnar in shape,
and does not melt easily, and SO can be
transported without great loss. Near
the village OF Settle. in the Carpa-
thiau Mountains, there is n OF the
largest ice caverns in the world, and,
curiously enough, it freezes in the sum-
mer and NETS IN the winter. For in.
stance, in midsummer the roof is en-
tirely covered W In ~tcictcs, Tut in win
ter they disappear. and by Christmas
time the cavern is dry and warm COM
pared to the outside world. Ice be- ms
10 form as soon us the sprirg opens.
In ON deep mines ice forms ! cer-
tain periods. Tins is the ease in sone
OF the salt mines in tine Ural Mountains.
Great cavities are formed in the gyp-
sum, and in the winter they are filed
with clear water, but in the summer
they are frozen sold.
I'VE nave similar cases nearer home.
In this State there are several ice
wells, and an ice cav has been found
at DEBORAH, Iowa. Litter Ocean.
