Perpetual Ice and Snow.

The Hon. G. W. Stapleton returned yesterday from business trip to Glen dale, and while there was told of lake which a hunter had seen near the head waters of Wise river, about eighty miles south of Butte. It is situated high up in the mountains and surrounded by steep crags, and the water is froze solid: notwithstanding the remarkably warm weather in this section. The hunter IS convinced that 1t never thaws, and states that in the center of this great body of ice is an avalanche of snow piled up to a great height, which has evidently slid down from the crags sur rounding the lake. It is described as 8 beautiful spot, scenery. grand, and the whole country alive with game. A glorious place, no doubt, for summer excursion.

Margaret. the Mother of Criminals.

In an article in the Century Maga- zine, by E. V. Smalley, the influence of heredity in crime is forcibly illustrated, as follows:
 At eae of the meetings of the New York Charities Aid Association, when the subject of preventing pauperism by giv- ing a proper training to children of paupers was under consideration, Dr. Elisha Harris related the terrible story of Margaret, the Mother of Crimi- nals." It has been published in the newspapers, but can proftably be read again to illustrate the great importance of one branch of the association's work. Margaret was pauper child, left adrift in one of the villages of the Upper Hud- son, about ninety years ago. There was no almshouse in the place, and she was made subject of outdoor relief, receiv- ing occasionally food and clothing from the town officials, but was never edu- cated or sheltered in proper home. She became the mother of long race of criminals and paupers, which has cursed the county ever since. The county rec ords shows 200 of her descendants who have been criminals. In one generation of her unhappy line there were twenty children, of whom seventeen lived to maturity. Nine served terms aggregat- ing fifty years in the State prison for high crimes, and all the others were fre- quent inmates of jails and almshouses. It is said that of the 623 descendants of this outcast girl, 200 committed crimes which brought them upon the court records, and most of the others were idiots, drunkards, lunatics, paupers or prostitutes. The cost to the county of this race of criminals and paupers is es- timated as at least $100,000, taking no account of the damage they inflicted upon property, and the suffering and de- gradation they causedin others. Who can gay that all this loss and wretchedness might not have Leen spared the con- munity if the poor pauper girl Margaret had been provided with a good moral home life while she was growing up to womanhood?

Mines of Precious Stones.

Gems of all kinds possess a curious interest to human beings. From the earliest times precious stones have had strange attraction for the wealthy and powerful of the earth. So far, no dia- mond fields have been discovered in the United States, but precious stones are found in several localities. In New Mexico there is famous turquoise mine which must have been worked literally a thousand years ago, for it yielded up its treasures to the Aztecs and to other prehistoric races which dominated in Mexico and adjoining countries. It is believed this mine can still be used for bringing out its peculiar treasures, but iii the eager hunt for gold and silver mines, the mining of gems is overlooked.
 In Alexander county, North Carolina,
 they are discovering emeralds, and in such quantities that the mining of them S Likely to become profitable industry.

 ONE great preventive of taking cold is to never remain in wet clothes and to use outside wraps that will absorb wet and not allow it to penetrate. Above all to avoid wet feet :; also to keep the feet warm, and if cold has been caught to use mustard and hot water for the feet at once. The foot bath must not be taken higher than the ankles.- Food Gnd health.
 THE exciting and stimulating prop critics of pure oxygen are we'll known, and every one has felt the nvigorating influence of fresh air, yet no practical application has been made of these ben eticial properties of substance SO cheap and universal. When the body IS weak, the brain fatigued, and the whole system in state of lassitude, just go into the open air, take few vigorous inspira- tions, and the effect will be instantly perceived. The individual trying the experiment will feel invigorated and stimulated, the blood will course with freshness, the lungs will work with in- creased activity, the whole frame will feel revived, and natures stimulant will be found the best.
 THE HYGIENE OF THE FACE AND EYES. It IS a mistake to believe that a good complexion depends upon. the use of such and such cosmetics. It really de- pends upon digestion, which itself de- pends upon our mode of life. Persons who rise early and go to bed regularly at 10, who take plenty of air and exer- else, eat with moderation at regular hours, having their meals at intervals long enough for the digestion of one to be thoroughly accomplished before they begin the next-these persons are sure to digest well, and in consequence have clear, healthy compleHons, which will require no other cosmetics but plenty of soft water and good toilet soap. The hygiene of the eyes IS very simple. For them, as well as for the complexion, good digestion is equally necessary; more so, for no cosmetic could attenuate the yellow tinge which blliousness inn parts to them ; and, If some myterious pencils can supply the insufficient shad- ow of rare eyelashes, good health alone can give them that brightness which is their principal beauty. Never read in bed or in a reclining attitude; it pro- vokes tension of the optic nerve very fatiguing to the eyesight. Bathe your eyes daily in salt water not salt enough, though, to cause 8 smarting sensation. Nothing is more strengthening, and we have known several persons, who, after using this simple tonic for few weeks, had put aside the spectacles they had used for years, and did not resume them, con- tinuing, of course, the oft-repeated daily use of salt water. Never force your eyesight to read or work in insufficient or too broad light. Reading with the sun upon one's book is mortally iniuri- ous to the eyes.

ThOreau.

Thoreau was, probably, the widest civilized man this country has produced, adding to the shyness of the hermit and woodsman the wildness of the poet, and to the wildness of the poet the greater terity and elusiveness of the mystic. An extreme product of civilization and of modern culture, he was yet as untouched by the worldly and commercial spirit of his age and country as any red man that ever haunted the shores of his native stream. He put the whole of nature be- tween himself and his fellows. A man of the strongest local attachments-not the least nomadic, seldom wandering be- yond his native township, yet his spirit was as restless and as impatient of re- straint as any nomad or Tartar that ever lived. He cultivated an extreme wild ness, not only in his pursuits and tastes, but in his hopes and imaginings. He says to his friend, "Hold fast your most indefinite waking dream" Emerson says his life was an attempt to pluck the Swiss edelweiss from the all but inaces- sible cliffs. The higher and the wilder, the more the fascination for him. h. deed, the loon, the moose, the beaver were but faint types and symbols of the wildness he coveted and would have re- appear Tn his life and books not the cosmical, the universal-he was not great enough for that-but simply the wild as distinguished from the domestic and the familiar, the remote and the surprising as contrasted with the hackneyed and the commonplace, arrow-heads as dis tinguished from whetstones or jack knives.
 Thoreau was French on one side and Puritan on the other. It was the wild, untamable French core in him-a dash of the gray wolf that stalks through his ancestral folklore, as in Audubon and the Canadian VoyageolrS-that made him turn with such zest and such genius to aboriginal nature and it was the Puri- tan element in him-strong, grim, un- compromising almost heartless held him to such high, austere, moral and ideal ends, His genius was Saxon in its homeliness and sincerity, in its direct ness and scorn of rhetoric but that wild revolutionary cry of his and that sort of restrained ferocity and hirsuteness are more French. .-John Burroughs, is Cent lvy Magazine.

HOlland.

Sunset Cox says: Amid the advancing clements of our electric and steam civili- zation Holland changes less than any other nation. She preserves ill many places most distinctly her old customs and hahits, and the individuality and simplicity of her people. The steam engine may be disturbing many old and picturesque Rsages-such as the wind mill as a motor to pump out the meadows and keep back the sea-but upon her roads and canals, at her fishing isles, and ill her cities and cafes, the spirit of the elder times prevails, so that he who runs through Holland may read its history.

"I never heard of but one that went" said the painter, "and he behaved so bad that they determined to turn him out, but, there being no lawyer present to draw up a writ of eiectment, he re- mained."

AFGHAN IMBROGLIo.
Conflicting Accounts From suakim

LONDON, March 2S.-Gen. Graham tele-
graphs from Suakim that he expects to be
able to have completed tomorrow sufficient
water stores to enable his army to advance to
Tamai. He says that he has ordered all the
available men from seven war ships anchored
in the Red sea off Suakim for garrison duty
in the town, so that the whole regular force
at Suakim could be used in the advance
against Osman Digna.
Censorship over all kilograms sent from
Suakim to the press has been made recently
much stricter than ever. The cable
grams from Suez, between which
place and Suakim there is good COM
munication, show that Gen. Graham is
making very little progress in his expedition
to Berber. After much heralded advance,
to make which two weeks have been con-
sumed and several hundred lives lost, his
camp is to-day just two miles nearer Berber
than is the Suakim camp, which is connected
with Suakim by trainway. Nothing is yet
done in the way of constructing the projected
Berber railway transport service, which is
very defective. For want of better transport
service the whole army is suffering, the men,
mules and camels being compelled to carry
otherwise unnecessary burdens i'll a torrid
heat. Typhoid fever and dysentery are quite
prevalent among the troops, although in the
official dispatches to London the health OF
the soldiers is described as excellent. AT
Gen. McNeill's zereba there are many cases
of fatal as well as disabling sunstroke.

The ..RebeI" Grievances.

ne Winnipeg Free Press (Anti-Govern-
menD gives the following as among the
grievances of the half breeds and the Indians
of the Northwest territories:
The entire blame for this derlorable up
rising rests with the government. They
have been warned time and again, even by
their own friends that it was coming. They
knew that they had heaped wrong on the
Saskatchewan settlers great enough to fire
blood of even the most peaceable of men. In
the first place, entirely without justifca-
ton or excuse, the surveys in the Prince
Albert district, Notwithstanding that it was
one OF the oldest and largest settlements in
the Northwest, were DELAYED until the patience
of the settlers was exhausted. When the
land was finally thrown open for entry.
settlers who had lived there In some in
stances for fifteen or twenty years found, on
making application at the land office, that
their holdings had already been disposed of
at Ottawa to creatures of the government
The Prince Albert land office has been the
scene of many pathetic incident. The
poor mans voice has more than once been
heard there exclaiming: ''My Godl what
am ! to do! My house, my land, my home
are gone !"
When fairly treated there are no more
peaceable and loyal people than our half
breed population. Not even Louis Riel,
with all his influence over them, could stir
them up to violence were they not smarting
under bitter wrongs. 1t would hardly do to
lay the blame on Rel's shoulders, even could
anyone be induced to believe that be could
lead into rebellion men who had no real
grievances. The government is now respon-
sible for years of suffering and discomfort
among the Prince Albert settlers; they are
responsible for an occurrence which, for the
present at least will simply blight our immi-
grafton prospects; they are responsible for
the waste of public money which has already
been occasioned by the forwarding of troops
aud which is but a drop in the bucket OF
what viii have to be expended if men are
brought up from the East, aud they will be
responsible for every drop OF blood that NAV
be shed in the suppression of those whom
they have driven into revolt.

How to Get There

The trail which the militia are to travel
over is good one in as far as prairie trails
can be called good but should Chief Piepot,
who commands a number of warriors at
Fort Qu'Appelle, become aggressive he
could, at this point and at an early stage Of
the journey, give considerable trouble and
cause delay which would hinder the troops
reaching their destination before the snow
has disappeared, for here the Qu'Appelle
river is crossed, and on either side the bluffs
tower up hundreds of feet, and the trail
winds through tortuous, wooded ravines,
which would afford excellent shelter for the
Indians, while the militia would be unable to
make even half fight crowded in narrow
pass about wide enough for one cart. In the
event of this move being made the troops
would find it more profitable, both as TO time
and saving of men to retreat to Qu'Appelle
and take the railroad to Regina, from
there striking north to the regular
trail at Touchwood mills. From this point
the journey would be uninteresting, the trail
running through light timber aud across
what Is known as the salt OF alkali plains.
When the Batisnheis is reached-ffty miles
from Prince Albert-the most serious resist
ance will no doubt be encountered. Here
as at Fort Qu'Appelle the banks of the river
are wooded and will give the rebels a chance
to harass and perhaps defeat the volunteers.

government has taken vigorous
measures to meet the emergency. From

$40 men within striking distance of Riel,
and 300 volunteers with two Arm strong
guns six or seven days travel away. In ad-
dition to this force the government has
