The Declaration of Inde pendsnoe.

Few people know that the original
Declaration of Independence is kept in
the library of the State Department.
1t is in a cherry case and under glass.
But the,doorS are thrown open all day
long and strong rays of light are eating
up its ink day by day. The Constitu-
ton is written on parchment. Tho
text of it is in hand as fine as copper
plate and the ink of this part can still
be plainly read. The signatures, how
ever, are written in a different ink,
and they are very fast disappearing
under the action of the light. Inc bold
signature of John A. Hancock is faded
almost entirely out. Only a j. o, h
and an III remain. Two lines of names
are entirely removed from the paper;
not vestige of ink remains to show
that names were ever there. Ben
Franklin's name is gone. Roger Sher-
mans name is fast fading, L could not
find the name of Thomas jefferson, and
Elbridge Gerry has lost its last syllable.
Robert Carroll and John Adams have
been secured off by the light, and only
eleven names out of the fifty odd can be
read without a microscope. just below
the constitution lies the original of it in
efferson'shandwriting. 1t is on fools
Cap paper, yellow with age, and worn
through where the manuscript has been
folded. The writing is fine and close,
and the whole Constitution occupies
but two pages. The ink is good, and it
remains as fresh as when 1t left the
quill of Jefferson over 100 years ago.
IL is full OF erasures and interlinations,
some Of which are in Franklln's hand
and others in the strong script
of John Adams.

CIutchIng an Ics-Cake.

y thrilling story comes from Niagara
Falls about the narrow escape which
two men named Tim Horn and Peter
Scanlon, who were thrown into the rap
ids near Tugby's bazaar, recently,
had from going over Niagara
Falls. Had it not been for a cake
of Ice they would have been
carried over the American Fall. Mr..
G. Crawford, who wa5 an eye. witness
of the occurrence and helped to rescue
the men, told the following to reporter:
Horn and ScanlOn, who are in the
employ Of Hill Il Murray, were working
on the upper race, where Crawford, who
was also engaged is trying to raise the
ice blockade, called for them to assist
in removing some planks over the apron
at the foot of the race. Before attempt
ing to remove the planks, Crawford in
formed the men of the popularity of
the work and the care necessary to be
taken to avoid being thrown into the
race. By some mIshap the men lost
their footing and were thrown out into
the race,a few feet from the apron. In
an instant they were carried out into
the rapids just above Goat island
| bridge. Crawford at once crossed the
race and started toward the brink of
the fall with but very little hope of be-
ing able to render any assistance to his
comrades. Near where the two men
entered the rapids is large cake of Ice
between which and the shore is narrow
channel, through which they must have
passed, for had they gone on the out
side they would have been carried out
toward the middle of the river. A few
feet below the bridge was another cake
of Ice about eight feet square, fastened
to rock against which they were
hurled.
Whether the men realized their condi-
ton sufficiently to help themselves or
were at first kept there By the force of
the current it is doubtful if they can
tell, but here they were found with
their arms on the ice when Crawford
reached the bank opposite them. He
gave the alarm at Hill Il Murray's pulp
mill, and quickly large force of men
were on the bridge to rescue the unfOr-
tunate men on the ice. Ropes were
let down which flOated to them, and al
though thoroughly chilled they had
still sufficient strength to secure them
around their bodies so as to allow them
selves to be drawn up to cake of les
attached to the first pier of the bridge.
After reaching thi, point man named
j. Russ went down a rope to the ice
and secured other ropes around Horn
and Scanlon, by which they were drawn
up and once more placed on terra frma.
The men were rescued something like
200 feet from where they fell in, and were
In the water upward of alf an hour.
After being taken out they were placed
in sleigh and conveyed home.

Lamps are very fashionable, and not
chiefly on account Of high and poor gas
though that may not be without its

be without its effect, but for the reason
that they can be very handsome orna-

Doing Good.

Every human being has mission to
perform. Every man has a part to act in
the worlds great drama-one of most
unspeakable Importance. But how few
are there who come fully up to its
standard and endeavor by divine assist
ance to fulfil it. Man was created for
noble purpose, endowed with an i'm
mortal mind and is capable OF perform
ing a good work. Consider how great
may be the influence of single indi-
vidual, either for good or evil. If we
have been influential in reforming one,
being made in the image of God, but
sadly misled by the contaminating IN
fiuence of vice, we have performed a
good work.
There are various ways in which
good may be accomplished, but when
a good resolution is formed the work is
too often begun with lack of conf
dence and perseverance, and impatient
to accomplish the undertaking, we de-
spair at the first difficulty. This should
not be, but with more faith, the more
distant the day of reward, the harder
We should labor, and not let our arms
become palsied because we do not meet
with immediate and large results of our
labors: but in time or eternity we shall
receive the reward.
Much good may be done with the
pen, and how much good has been
done in this way. by which the influ-
ence Of many still live while they have
long since gone to their final resting
place. But we would not have you
vainly ambitious to render your name
immortal, thinking to make speck in
the world by figuring in the papers, or
assume the Importance of fly that inn
agined itself turning the wheel upon
which it was only turned round. But
whatever you do let it be done to the
glory of God, and remember that ''He
that convertcth the sinner from the
error of his way shall save a soul from
death and hide multitude of SINS"

to have another take words out Of bis
mouth, and when he tells a story he
likes to tell it himself.
Don't grumble. OF all the friendless,

the grumbler Is the boss. He ought to be
taken out and lathered with barrel -stave
every time he grumbles. Nobody likes
him. nobody loves him, while everybody
is ashamed of him.
Don't imagine for the shadow hair line

men, too, who know a great deal more
than you ever thought you knew.
Don't forget that to be honest, to I've

pleasant, is to be happy and contented;
and there are more pearls in q cup of

Then, who can?

If he gives away or sells II,
