The Declaration Fading Out.

Few people know that the original
Declaration of Independence is kept in
the library of the state department, says
a Washington letter. 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 Constitution is written on
parchment. The text of it is in hand
as fine as copper-plate and the ink of
this part can still be plainly read. The
signatures, however, are written in
different ink, and they are very fast dis
appearing under the action of the
light. The bold signature of
John Hancock is faded almost
entirely out. Only al, o, h and an H
remain. Two lines of names are entirely
removed from the paper; not a vestige
of ink remains to show that names were
ever there. Ben Franklin's name is
entirely gone. Roger Sherman's name is
fast fading. I could not find the name
of Thomas Jefferson, and Elbridge Gerry
has lost his 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 constituti on lies the
original of it in Jefferson's handwriting.
1t is on foolscap paper, yellow with age,
and worn through where the manuscript
has been folded. The writing is fine and
close, and the whole constitution occu-
pies but two pages. The ink is good,
and it remains as fresh as when it left
the quill of Jefferson over 100 years ago.
1t is full of erasures and interlineatipns,
some of which are in Franklin's hand
writing and others in the strong script OF
John Adams. - Correspondence Cleveland

A BAKED BEAN pIsAsTER.

Probably rs laughable thing as has
been seen in long time took place at
GAINESVILLE at the Grand Army reunion
couple of weeks ago. There was to be
baked bean banquet for the visiting vet
Grams, and half the families in town fur
nished a pan of baked beans for the oc-
casion, sending them to the armory late
in the afternoon piping hot. A couple
of boys, sons of soldier, were entrusted
with large pan of red d-hot baked beans
to take downtown, and they put the pan
on hand-sled and started Arriving at
the top of the big hill, where the road
runs straight down into the business
street, the temptation to ride down was
too great, and the boys got on the sled
with the pan of beans in front of them,
steaming hot. They started. Every
crossing they struck COB of the beans
would fly out, and before they were
half down the hill the boys were COW
cred with beans from head to foot. They
shut their eyes and let the sled event"
A girl stood by crossing as they passed,
and as the sled struck hummock,
handful of beans hit the girl in the hair,
and as the hot mass began to heat up she
felt that the hairs of he head were num-
bered, and put her hand to her head, and
when the beans burned her hand she
yelled fire and went away on a gallop A
dog ran along beside the sled and barked
at the boys, but a quart of beans struck
the dog and the weather was too warm
for him, and he ran away with hot box.
The sled finally turned over and boys,
beans and sled rolled and slid for half
block, and the street was paved with
good intentions and baked beans, The
boys got up, scraped the beans7 off OF
their clothes, thought the matter over
a minute, when each took hold of a side
of the empty pan, and they carried it
down to the armory, and reported to the
committee on beans. The circumstance
was related to the soldiers, and the
empty pan, the hand-sled and the boys
decorated with beans created as much
amusement for the old veterans as any
one thing.

and the same day tho champion, who
bore the appearance of meek-looking
young man with eyeglasses and bad
cough, was entered as a student and as

That night about twenty OF the

selves, stole softly to the new members

twisters, " " toe pinchers and other in
struments of torture to their satisfaction,
they took off their coats, rolled up their
sleeves and tapped gently on the door OF
their victim, who mildly invited them
in.
The invaders lit the gas, and beheld
the new conner lying in bed, smoking
cigarette, and benignly regarding the
mob through his goggles.
"Get up there, Freshie. We're going
to have some fun with you," they said.
"Not really2" said the victim, with a
hollow cough.

"Well, if l must, suppose l must, "
whimpered the new man, jumping ont

The survivors of what followed all
agree that language fails to do justice to
the scene. Sullivan kicked the door
shut, and then sailed in and began pill
inc up the dead. Some of them didn't
get around again for three week., and
half dozen badly tlattened Sullivan

This is the story most of our readers
have heard. The result was to entirely
abolish "hazing" at Princeton until the
beginning of the present session, when
the old custom started in with renewed
vigor.
A student named Harrison, from Cleve-
land, learned that his eden" was to be
raided upon certain night. That day
he repaired to the outskirts of the town,

He had kept the animal in pacific
frame of mind by much provender until
the hour for the assault. When the
freshman heard the stealthy gathering of
the class outside the door, he turned of
the gas; gave the goat few jabs with a
penknife to liven it up, and lodged be-
hind the door.
AS soon as the besiegers had rushed In
he shut the door, locked it, and hastily
climbed upon the wardrobe, being just in
time to escape the first rush of the billy,
who knocked three men over the bed the
very first biff.
The pandemonium of shrieks, curses
and butts lasted for some five minutes.
Then forlorn hope of battered hazers
managed to grope their way to the door
and tear it open. AS they tumbled out
into the now crowded hall half a hundred
excited voices asked what the matter
was.
"Matter1" gasped one of the worst used
up of the gang, ''Why, they've rung that

"COlds" and "ChiIls."

Says the London Lancet What is a
coldl 1t is disturbance of the balance
between the several parts of the nervous
system, brought about by the shock of
sudden or prolonged exposure to the de-
pressing effect of ''chill;" although the
same physiological results may be pro-
duced in the organism by the operation
of any agent which is capable of giving
the nervous system similar shock, and
thus creating the same kind Of disturb
ance. Natures provisions against the
consequences of ''chill" and for the
prevention of a ''cold" are sneezing and
shivering. A violent fit Of sneezing of
ten saves a chilled body the consequences
of the nerve depression, or ''shock," to
which it has been subject; and this
shock may in its first impression
be very limited in its area; for
example, the small extent covered
by a draught of cold air rushing
through the erevice of a door or window.
The nerve centers are aroused from
their collapse" by the commotion or ex-
plosive influence of the sneeze. If
sneezing fails, nature will try shiver,
which acts mechanically in the same
way. If this fails, the effects are likely
to be very serious, and bad consequences
may ensue. The popular notion reverses
the order of events, and hence the say
ing: "If there is sneezing the cold will
be slight, if there is shivering it will be
grave;" whereas it is slight when sneezing
suffices to recover the nervous system
quickly from its depression, and grave
when even strong shivering fails to do So
| In case of chill with thrpatened cold
sneezing may be produced by pinch of
snuff of any kind. This is how some of
the vaunted "cures of cold by snuff are
brought about. Or brisk exercise may
ward off the attack. The popular idea
is that the circulation is restored by these
remedies, but the true explanation is
that the nervous system and centers are
aroused. The first step toward an intel
ligent treatment of chill and cold is a
scientific recognition of their nature.

HE DIDN'T ENGAGE HER.

A young lady went to an intelligence
Office the other day, and, as there was
no girl in at the time, sat down to wait
for one. She is a Jefferson avenue belle,
and leads the gay procession in society
circles; she is also a good daughter and
model housekeeper, taking all the care
of large establishment off her mothers
ageing shoulders.
AS she sat and waited in the intclli
gence office gentleman whom she knew
came in to get girl; she had met him
at social reception few nights pre-
vious, he in full evening dress, she in a
costume of pink silk and Spanish lace,
with roses in her hair. He had whispered
sweet words of admiration to her, and
she had blushed beneath his too ardent
gaze. 1t was only a rehearsal of that
foolish old play, "Love's Young Dream, "
but it had left pleasant memories with
both.
She could not help showing she was
glad to meet him again, and half rose.
But he passed her to speak to the woman
at the desk, who supplied "help" to do
mestic Macedonia.
''My brothers family are in need of a
girl, Mrs. -. Can you send one up
there to-day9"
'sNo, SUI" said the woman, stolidly,
''tha' amt one in now."
"Why won't this one do9" asked the
gentleman, curtly, turning upon the
young lady, who, in her plain walking
dress and yelled turban sat trembling
with apprehension.
"La, now, she amt no girl" said the
mistress of the intelligence, but the Gus
toner paid no attention to her.
"See here, Miss, or Mrs. what's your
name," he asked, abruptly, ''can you dc

matters, that applicants for scholarships
were few. At this juncture the father of

Harvesting Ice.

Some idea of the magnitude of the ice
industry in America may be gathered
from the fact that it supports monthly
trade paper, and that the total annual
ice-crop of the States is twenty million
tons, of which some twelve million tons
are consumed. Mining and storing this
ice has given rise to a separate branch of
engineering, and special implements for
the purpose. There are scrapers of various
kinds to remove the snow; tracers, or
hand-plows, to mark out the areas to be
cut by grooves. These grooves are
afterward deepened by a tool,
called a marker, fitted with knife
edges, which, on being lowered to the
ice, cut it deeply. The ice-area is cut
and cross-cut with these tools, then
trenched or AVN by the ice-plow shown
in the figure, until two o-thirds of the total
thickness is cut through. This plow
consists of a succession of curved blade
like teeth attached to long beam. The
teeth are so formed as to clear themselves,
and carry the chips out of the groove
with little resistance. A channel is cut
by the above means between the ice-feld
and the elevators which raise the blocks
into the ice-houses. The blocks are then
loosed by ice-chisels, foated to the eleva.
tors, and raised by steam-power on end
less chains working up an inclined plane.
The ice-rooms are built one hundred feet
long by forty feet wide, and the cakes
are placed so as to leave three-inch

OF the countless good stories attributed
to Artemus Ward, one Of the best is the
one which tolls of the advice he gave to a
Southern railroad conductor soon after
the war. The road was in a wretched
condition, and the trains consequent
ly were run at a phenominally low rate OF
speed. When the conductor was punch
ing his ticket, Artemus remarked:
''Does this railroad company allow pas
sengers to give advice if they do so in a
respectful mannerl" The conductor re-
piled in gruff tones that he guessed so.
"Well." Artemus went on, ''it occurred
to me that it would be well to detach the
cowcatcher from the front of the engine
and hitch it to the rear of the train. For
