TURTLE CAPTURES A CRow.-One day last
week, Mrs. T. B. swartz, of Abingdon district
while in search of her pea-fowls, heard crow
in distress, and discovered that large swapping
turtle had captured it in pond. The crow
could not escape, and the turtle being unwill-
ing to relinquish his prisoner, both were taken
out of the water together, the turtle having
seized the crow by both legs. The crow being
released flew away, and doubtless told the
strange story to his companions, since crows,
it is believed, are able to communicate with
one another. The turtle. which weighed 10 lbs,
was converted into excellent soup.

A WATER SPoUT.-Mr. John E. Colder, near
the Hickory, reports, that last Monday after
noon, after the rain had ceased where he was,
he noticed a cloud, shaped like two tunnels,
one of them inverted, reaching from the earth
to the clouds above. 1t appeared to be moving
from the direction of Mr.. Thomas Poole's to-
wards Ady's shops, and as it swept along, when
II passed over the tops of trees 1t seemed to
separate, but came together again in the valleys.
1t was undoubtedly water-spout, and accounts
for the extremely heavy rain which fell In that

can ice palace for st. Paul? No, that
would never do That would be bad ad-
vertisement for st. Paul. An ice palace
may be grand, magnificent, splendid, but it
must of necessity be cold, and in manner
desolate and cheerIess. 1t would give ST.
Paul borean reputation with the world-a
place of snow and ice, with long cold nights
and short cold days, a shivering, teeth-chat-
tering place where it's winter eight OF nine
months in the year and the remainder very
late in the fall-a place where there is such
reliance to he placed upon the permanent
frigidity of the climate in winter that the
inhabitants thereof feel warranted in in
vesting several thousand dollars in the cree
ton of a palace of ice which a sunny day
or two would diSintegrate and destroy. No,
let us have no ice palace"
Such is the view which at first blush
struck not a few of our citizens when the
project Of an ice palace and winter carnival
was first moOted. But with the discussion
the plan began to develop details, which
were so fascinating that it was soon seen
that if consummated it would not only keep
in st. Paul many of those who now are ac-
cuStOmed to take a yearly hegira to the
South, but would also attract multitudeS
from outside whose appreciation of the de-
lights of a Northern winter would be
keen at the first attempt, but also
who find themselves so much
delighted and fnvigOrated by the sport as to
be attracted to it for succeeding winters and
so make Minnesota and st. Paul as famous

Paul has approached the subject in bust
ness-like way by Incorporating a Carnival
company. The telegram speaks of nominal
capital of S15,000, and unless this is a mis-
print for $150,000 their ideas of expense have
yet to be corrected by experience. Possibly
however, they are relying on private SUBJ
scriptions, and when Western people give
their minds to an undertaking they are apt to
do it thoroughly. st. Paul is well situated
for the purpose, having an unlimited supply
OF ice and snow, innumerable hills for tobog-
gaming, plenty of accommodation in the city
and IN Minneapolis, and a large area of coun-
try from which to draw visitors. They will
have the experience of Montreal to assist
them, and the novelty of the thing of turning
labor into pleasure is likely to induce success.
And then If Minneapolis does not grow green
from Jealousy the relationship of those twin
cities must have recently changed.
THE MAIN FEATURE
of the carnival, and the most expensive.
will be the ice palace. Plans were drawn
and made up for such a structure last
winter by Messrs. Hodgson, Wellingford &
Stern, architects, but thee was no organ
lied effort to push the matter, and it fell
through. They are an improvement upon
the palace at Montreal, and larger and
more comprehensive. Owing to the great
interest there is in the matter, the GLOBE
reproduces this morning the excellent cut it
published of the perspective of this building
last Thursday, with the ground plan.
''The style will be what is known as the
barronial," said one of the firm that de-
signed the plans. land when you have said
that. that is about all that can be said of a
structure that has no inside work to speak
of. But in answer to question, the archi-
tect explained that the barronial was
the English of about the eighth or tenth
century. Its dominant features are massive
columns. 1t is the same, in its elements,
as many churches built in England and on
the continent, at about the period named.
The style is necessary from the nature of
the material of which the palace is to be
made, the crushing strength of ice enter
ing largely into the determination of the
style. This is about two-thirds that of
brick, and when the natural sliding force
is taken into the account, it will be readily
seen that the walls must be of unusual
thickness. This, of course, will leave all
projections Of the walls, either vertical or
horizontal. broad and solid, and will give
massive-looking corners. Accordingly. to

whose every draught will brighten your
eye, increase your lung capacity and drive

come to you. Go out and meet him. Shake
him by the hand. You'll find 1t cold, but
full of a magnetism that will make you

Of his sweet, vigorous breath. It'll do you
good; and never again will you consider
him your enemy, but your best friend, and

ever-increasing enthusiasm.
MISSIONARY WORK.
To be home and foreign missionaries in
the cause of cold weather, to prove to the
world by actural observation and expert
ence that weeks of steady, dry cold is pre-
ferable to alternating cold, ice and colder
slush-Such is the philanthropical object Of
the st. Paul Winter Carnival and Ice Pal
ace association, which, though but a week
has elapsed since its conception, is already
a lusty infant which nothing but the dis
astrous and killing influences of an open
winter can prevent from becoming rep
resentative Minnesota adult, big, strong
and healthy.
In response to an invitation from Mr..
George Thompson of the Dispatch party
of gentlemen met in the ladies' ordinary of
the Ryan hotel a week ago last night and
before an hour was passed the enthusiasm
of the leaders in the enterprise became a
contagiOn that spread among them all and
before two hours had passed it was unani-
mouSly resolved what was already a fore
gone conclusion, that an ice palace must be
built and winter carnival sustained this
winter. A committee was appointed to
arrange the details; they met on Monday
and at another meeting held Monday night
the officers and directors were elected and
the whole thing received an impulse which
cannot help but make it successful. So far

of sport The carnival association will I'M
doubleday import number of toboggans and
they will also be placed on sale by private
dealers at prices varying from SIS to SIS,
according to size and the quality of the
wood. The infection has already caught,
and toboggan club has been organized in
st. Paul, consisting Of some ten young men
of the High school. Anyone desiring to
join it should apply to M. d. Hart, No. 538
Robert street. Steps have also been taken
to form club from among the business
men. The directors of the carnival will
endeavor to secure site on which all clubs
can practice, as well as to provide al eX-
pert to instruct new members. They will
also probably erect run in the early part
of the winter, so that when the carnival
opens the St. Paul clubs may have as good
a chance to carry off the premiums and
prizes as the visiting clubs from Winnipeg
and other Canadian cities.
THEN THERE'S sNowsHoEING,
and if there is one sport outside of this on
which the average Canadian is more cracked
than an other it is this. They form inn
mense clubs that 60 out at night dressed in
fantastic uniforms each carrying torch,
making long professions of fire. They
care not for the roads, cutting across the
country in any direction, over fences and
across lots, at last bringing up at some
hospitable farm or club house, where a
savory meal has been prepared for them.
Snowshoes are clumsy-looking affairs, but
remarkably quick time is made on them by
those who are proficient in their use, an
ordinary good gait being mile in from
eight to ten minutes, which is shortened
down to five and one-half to six in race.

General Notes.

1t is not impossible that ST. Paul boys
will become so passionate with the delights
of snowshoeing that they will sing with
their Canadian brethren:
Man may talk of steam and railroads,
But too well our comrades know
We can beat the fastest engines
In night tramp on the snow.
They may puff, sir, they may blow, sir,
They may whistle, they may scream,
Gently-dipping, ightly-hpping
SnowshOes leave behind the steam.
There will of course be a toboggan slide
in connection with the carnival, located at
the ice palace at Central park, but the ex-
act location has not been determined. The
committee will ask the council to close the
end of Robert street during the carnival for
this purpose. Failing in this, they will
construct the slide across Central park and
down Minnesota street.
1t is now probable that no representatives
of the railroads will be appointed on the
directory, as the railroads are reported to
be satisfied that the citizens already ap-
pointed will look out for the transportation
interests.
One of the features proposed is to have
the city officials appear in state. 1t would
be an eXhiliarating sight, indeed, worth 60
ing many miles, to see Edmund Rice, w.
p Murray, DR.. Jones and John Clark ''in

bad ease of delicate constitution. Having
breathed all winter an atmosphere strongly
impregnated with carbon and coal gas,
from which all trace of ozone has been
carefully strained, you crawl out in the
spring debilitated and weak, and swear an
awful and blood-curdling oath never to

what an impious and thankless waste and
misrepresentation of one of Gods best gifts
to those of his children who live in Mime
sofa.
Try the other way just once and it will
need no words of importunate solicitation
to induce you forever after to spend your
winters in the open air. If you must have
double windows make hole somewhere
for your friend. the winter, to come in; and

1t is proposed to open the carnival by

probably be held next Saturday evening.

are carried out will be about $11, 200.

The Officers.

An old citizen of St. Paul, in looking
over the names of the directors of the Win
ter Carnival association on yesterday, said:
''With those men back of it the carnival
can't fail of being successful. They are
representatives of the class of men who
have built up st. Paul and made it what it
is. No better selections could have been
made. Now, there's George r. Finch, the
president, an old wholesale dry goods man,
with more than bushel of sense and
energy in proportion. He's always well up

There are two ways, good sir and good
madam, to spend Minnesota winter. In
the first way, you begin about the middle
of fall to dread the long, cold winter, grum
BILE about the high price of coal, and start
inquiries on the price of tickets by the most
direct route to the South Sea islands, where
you may lie perpetually on your back and
live on banyans, which drop in perennial

however, necessitates the preliminary outlay
of considerable money, and it is possible that
the citizens of Ottawa may not be aware of
the full extent of this requirement. The ses-
sion of parliament will add an attraction to
the fete, and that city ought to be able to
make fair winter exhibit. What Burling-
toms CAPABILITIES may be we do not know, but
we should doubt their possessing that para
