live during the winter. There are six very
popular and as many more minor club slides
which might almost be called public and are
fully so during carnival week, besides a
great number of private slides. The Tuque
Bleue is of all the most frequented, being
situated close to the Windsor hotel and the
best part OF the city. 1t is an artificial hill,
the slope or chutes at the beginning of the
run being supported by treslle work rising
to height of forty feet. The grade is
about one in ten. the run on the level eX-

Beautiful in itself the ice castle afforded

time, however and the structure was car
ried out in full, far surprising in beauty its
predecessors of 1888 and of 1884.
THEIR ARCHITECTURE.
The first, that of 1888, was a square
structure, 30 feet long, with square, pointed
towers so feet high at each corner, and a
square, steepled tower rising in the middle
TO nearly 100 feet That of 1854 was also
either horizontal or perpendicular in all its
lines, was 1865 feet long and Is feet across
at its widest part. Its central tower
was formed solidly of blocks OF
ice, whereas that of the first
had been made by pouring water that soon
froze over beams and green boughs. But
the castle of last winter was a far more
beautiful creation than its forerunners,
Mr.. Hutchinson, the architect. having
thoroughly learned from experience how to
deal artistically with his material. The in
PRODUCTION of circular towers thanking the
main entrance gave variety to the design.
In plan the ground floor was elliptical, the
major axis was 1850 feet. the minor 120 feet.
Two oblong towers. SO feet high, at the
ends of the major axis gave entrance into
the interior At each end of the minor axis
were two round towers A feet high, with
an arched way between. The square main
tower in the middle rose to 100 feet. 1t
was f1anked on one side by double and on
the other by single towers, the former rising
SO feet and the latter 70 feet. The sky
outlines were all machicolated or
broken into square open gaps be-
tween large blocks. A more beauti-

No blushing daughter of the morn
Can vie with her of woman born:
No face at windows of the spring

BetwiXt the blue lids of the sky:
No orb there mates a maiden's eye;
Not mighty Mars unfaiing lance
Can match the mischief of its glance.

AS does dear unsleeyed arm
Thy rocks would trickle into sand
With tingles from dimpled hand.
What swaying shapes of sun or shade

Ye sons of science tell me this:
Since by this strange incubation
You keep the deadly smallpox off,
Why not all ills that hit creation?
Why can't You from stricken COW
That has pain, for PHYS sake,
IIoculate the human race
Against the deadly stomach ache?
Why from q COW that's lost her cud
Not take the very slightest mote
And in some human being show
For him, who chews, an antidote.
A prize awaits the lucky man
Who, as another decade dawns,
Inoculates his fellow man
With that which drives away his corns.

On the theme of vaccination.
Homer never touched the subject,

From their lists in making rhymes.

OF the virtues of vaccine,
OF the venom of the virus.

Some one should have told the anguish,
Fears and frights and dread alarms
That the general public suffers
When the doctor bareS its arms.
And within the bicps deity
Slabs the curious little thing,
Leaving there a queer sensation
Something like hornets sting.

That no ointment can abate.

A Very Sad Case.

There is town in Pennsylvania called
Maytown. Attached to IL is one patronage
plum in the shape of a postohico. There
is quite sprnkling Of Democrats in
Maytown. Ever since the November cleo
tion they have talked of bat little else OK
cept their postolliec. Nearly everyone of
them wanted to be postmaster After car
rying around petitions and getting sigma
lures and whooping things up generally
they found there were SO many candidates
that If they wanted to get Democrat in
place of the Republican as postmaster
there must bo some unity.
They finally decided upon Mr.. j. G..
Swiler,s Presbyterian elder, and a Demo-
crat ever since he has been old enough to
ray any attention to politics. He was rec
commended by nearly every Maytown Demo-
crst They were little surprised that
Mr.. Swilor was not appointed on the 9TH OF
March, but they kept quiet until the other
day. Now they are not quiet. In fact
there is bowling in Maytown, and much
vigorous kicking among the faithful. Thoy
have new postmaster, it is true, but it is
not Mr. Swiler, the old war horse. Not by
any means was Swiler selected.
The postofllce was gallantly given to Miss
Annie Haines, 2 handsome young lady,
who, it is said, knows how to manage the
males. She is tho daughter of Captain
Henry A. Haines, an ardent Democrat un-
til the Beaver campaign, when General
Cameron induced him to become Ropubli-
can. Hence these howls in Maytown. MIR.
