Perpetual Ice and Snow.

The Hon. G. W. Stapleton returned yesterday from a business trip to Glen, dale, and while there was told of lake which hunter had seen near the head waters of Wise river, about eighty miles south of Butte It is situated high uI ill tAe mountains and surrounded by steep crags, and the water is froze solid notwithstanding the remarkably warm weather in this section. The hunter if lconvinced that it never thaws, anc states that in the center of this great body of ice is an avalanche of snow piled up to great height, which has evidently slid down from the crags sur rounding the lake. It is described as { beautiful spot, scenery grand, and the whole country alive with game. 4 glorious place, no doubt, for a summe, excursion.

A Tale of a Shirt.

Gen. Sherman and Henry Clay Dean had been friends for years, and when Sherman became General and Dean hap pened to be in Washington, the latter, naturally enough, felt desire to renew the old acquaintance. So he called at Shermaa's house, and the General re- ceived him with open arms. They talked over old times, and nothing would do but Dean must stay to dinner. But, General" demonstrated Mrs. Sherman in her husbands ear, I can't have such dirty-looking man at my table; can't you spruce him up little ?" The General said he'd fix that, and so st an opportune moment he hustled MT. Dean upstairs, ransaeked bureau, and produced clean shirt for him to put on. Mrs. Sherman was notified, and the dinner was really charming affair. for there IS no more delightful, entertaining and instructive eonyersationalist than Henry Clay Dean. One year after this event Gen. Sherman was at the Lindell Hotel, St. Louis, with his family. A card was brought up bearing Henry Clay Deans name. Mrs. Sherman was very much pleased. "He is such a charming talker, we must have him to dinner. Only you must see that he looks presentable. These were madam's s wordk tO she warrior. So Sherman vel comed Dean, and, just before going to dinner, slipped him into side room and gave him clean shirt to wear. Dean doffed his coat and vest, and, after a brief struggle, divested himself of the shirt he had on-a soiled, grimy, black thing that looked as if it had seen long and hard service. Then they all went down to dinner, and MT. Dean was more charming than ever and Mrs. Sherman was in eostasieee=. The next day. as Mrs. Sherman was getting her husbands duds and clothes together, preparatory to packing them for the onward march, she gave sort of a wild, hunted scream. "What is it, my dear ?" called the Gen. eral from the next room. "Just come in here for a minute" replied Mrs. Sherman, between faint gasps. The General went in. There stood Mrs. Sherman holding in her left hand the begrimed shirt 6elry Clay Dean had left. With her right haad she pointed to certain initials on the lower edge of the bosom. The initials read "W. T. S." It was the indentical shirt Gen. Sherman had loaned Henry Clay Dean in Washington twelve months before.- Denves' Tribune

CRLLULOD.-1n1e femarkaDle ana most useful material is producedby mix ing gum camphor with pulp of gum cotton and subjecting the combination te a high degree of pressure and heat The result is hard product of extraor- dinary elasticity. It can be made plastic again and nodded into any required form. Any color can be given it by the use of coloring matter during the pro- cess of manufacture. The uses to which ceIluloid is put are numerous and are constantly increasing. 1s is extensively used as Q substitute for ivory, which it resembles 30 closely that 1t Is sometimes difficult to detect the difference. It is said to equal ivory in strength and elas- ticity and not to warp or discolor with time. It has proved good material for piano and organ keys, billiard balls, backs of brushes. looking-glass1 frames, umbrellas, handles for knives, forks and many other articles. For some pur- poses it is even better than ivory. It is used with much success to initiate tor toise shell, malachite, amber, pink coral and other costly materials. In imitation of tortoise shell it is. made into combs, napkin rings, match boxes, card cases, etc., limitations of pink coral jewelry are made and sold at prices much below those of the genuine. The same is true of limitations of malachite and amber. Mouth-p pieces for pipes and ciear-hold- CTS, etc., are common. It is also used as substitute for porcelain in making dolls heads. The frames of eyeglasses, opera glasses and spectacles gre made of it. New uses are found for this inyalu- able compound from time to time.

The Three Cold Days of April.

Few weather phenomena in this country are more remarkable, and seem at present less easily explained, than the Borrowing days" as they are called, between the 10th and 14th of April, when usually the temperature falls con- siderably below that due to the time of the year. The cold at this time is, at any rate, sufficiently marked-frst, to have attracted long since general atten- tion; and, secondly, to affect in very obvious manner the average tempera- ture for these days during the last eighty years. We find these three cold days of April, which, before the change of style, were the first three days of the month, thus described in doggerel lines in the North of England:
 March borrows from April
 Three days, and they are i'll;
 The first of them is wan and weet
 The second 1t is snaw sleet,
 The third of them is 6 peel-a- bane,
 And freezes the wee birds neb lae stane. The following lines are given in the "Glossary of Scotch Words and Phras- es :"
 Said March to April,
 Gie me three hoggs upon yon hill;
 And in the space of days three
 I'll find place to gar them die.
 The first bitter blast did b.aw,
 The second it was sleet and snaw,
 The third it came sac full freeze
 The birds nebs they stack to the trees;
 But when the days past and zane
 The three puir hogs came hirpln hame. This is manifestly an imperfect version of the lines in the poem called the "Complaynt of Scotland" where the borrowing of three April days is much clearer Gin the above account March borrows hogs not days):
 March said to Aperill
 see three hogs upon hill;
 But lend your first three days to me,
 And I'll be bound to gar them dee
 The first it shall be wind and weet,
 The next it shall be snaw and sleet,
 The third it shall be sic freeze,
 Shall gar the birds stick to the trees
 But when the borrowed days were zane,
 The three silly hogs cam hirpln hame. This is, I believe, the oldest version of the doggerel It belongs to time when the three cold days of April really were the first three days of April. The other was modified to correspond with the new style, according to which the cold days fall in the heart of the month, and cannot be very well imagined to be borrowed from March. It is worthy of observation how correctly common ob- servation has indicated the true position of these cold days, for in the tempera- ture curve derived from three quarters of century of accurate observation at Greenwich the depression corresponds exactly with the days which before the change of style were the 1st, 2d, and 3d of Aprl.-R. 4.

Preparation of Soil.

Spirit of the Farm.
But few persons comprehend the
great importance of proper prepare
ton of the soil before planting. An
old experienced farmer will tell the
beginner that the best blowing to
give corn is before it is planted.
When corn or any other farm pro-
duct is planted with the soil imper-
fectly prepared, short crop is the in
evitable result, as no amount of cult
ure atterward will compensate for the
failure to do it beforehand. This is
reasonable, when we consider that
the culture will be lacking just when
the plant stands most in need of it,
and unless the corn is uprooted the
parts cannot be reached. Many far
mers, and good ones, will break up
the field in the fall, and when ready
to plant in the spring, do not take
time to rebreak, but lay off and plant
then. The time gained is not suffi-
cient to pay for the loss of yield, for
there will always be loss. 1t is far
better to defer a few days, taking
time to rebreak again and again, until
the ground is thoroughly pulverized
Good blowing gives good crops, all
other things being equal. Consider
that every clOd in the fields so much
waste land, as it is of no use to the
products. 1t is of the utmost impor.
lance to thoroughly pulverize the
land, as by it heat is admitted to the
roots, and air, so necessary to its
health, is circulated, to say nothing
of the thorough circulation of the
roots. All blowing done before
planting takes that much from the
culture after planting.
Southern standard. (McMinnville, Tenn.) 1879-current, 1885-11-28
Restoring Vegetable Matter.

The fine humus in virgin soil when
once lost or destroyed by cultivation
is not easily restored. The amount
of vegetable matter in a good dress
ing of barnyard manure makes only
small percentage Of the cultivated
soil on an acre. Depending on this
alone it is not possible for farmers to
till their land every year and pre-
vent it from compacting too much.
Even market gardeners who use fifty
to sixty loads of manure per acre,
find an advantage in occasionally
seeding with clover and blowing I'M
der green crop. 1t lightens the soil
as nothing else will. For most farm
ers the vegetable matter in the roots
and tops Of grass or other heritage
turned under is the most important
resource in maintaining fertility.
With this farmer can improve his
land by the use of a much smaller
amount of stable manure than the
market gardener finds absolutely
necessary.

Rev. Sam Jones whoops up the
boys sometimes and rakes them ter
ribly about their gambling and drink
ing frolics. "Oh, I've been all along
there boys. / know all about it, and

boys. But when / wanted to get

down with a good wife, l quit drink
ing and gambling, and didn't go to
a ballroom to get my wife, but l
went to a prayer meeting and l got a

and when he returned to his board
ing-house his landlady, whohad heard
his remarks, said: 81 don't blame
you Brother Jones, but poor Sister
Jones where did she go to get her
husband?" They say this is the only
time he has been fioored since he quit
drinking.

Where Our Forests are Going.
Fishkill Stan lard.

Fishkill Standard.
To make shoe pegs enough for
American use consumes annually,
100, 900 cords of timber, and to make
our lucifer matches 800, 900 cubic feet
of the best pine are required every,
year. Last and boot trees take 500
600 cords of birch, beech and maple,
and the handles of tools 500, 900 more.
The baking of our bricks consume
100000 cords of wood, or what
would cover with forest about $4,000
acres ofland. Telegraph poles already
up represent about 100000 trees their
annual repair consumes about 100000
more. The ties of our railroads con-
sumo annually thirty years. growth
of $4,000 acres, and to fence all our
railroads would cost $45, 100000 with
a yearly expenditure Of S15,0O0,O0O
for repairs. These are some Of the
ways in which American forests are
going. There are others; our packing
boxes, for instance, cost, in 1874, $12,-
100000, while the timber used each
year in making wagons and agricul-
tural implements in valued at more
than $100,O0O,OO0.
