A gentleman of wealth n day, while
practicing penmanship, wrote his name
upon a blank slip of paper and allowed
it to lie upon his desk. 1t attracted the
attention of Il neighbor, who, for a joke,
filled the space above the signature in
the form of u promissory note, and in a
few days afterward presented the paper,
with an offer to allow considerable dis
count if the apparent drawer would cash
it at that time. The gentleman recog-
nized the joke and the holder of the
document, placing it in his pocket, de
parted and nothing more was said about
it. Subsequently the holder wa stricken
with paralysis and died; and HIS execu-
tors finding the note and having no
knowledge of the joke attached to it
brought suit and recovered the sum
$500-for which it was drawn. thus illus
trating the danger of persons carelessly
writing their names on blank scraps of
paper and the mischief of thoughtless
practical jokes.-Exchange.

GERMANY ocean Carrying Trade.
The Germans are making the most
strenuous efforts to wrest from Great
Britain a fair share of the ocean carry4
ing trade by Il system of bounties allowed
to ocean navigation companies to all the
great mercantile centers of the world.
These bounties form an immense incen-
tive to the development of the ship build
ing interests of Germany. and with the
advantage of skilled labor in the ship
yards the government finds il an easy
task to enlarge its facilities for the build
ing OF irunclads and torpedo boats. not
only for the imperial service but also for
that of h foreign powers. At Stettin
the authorities have accepted a large con
tract with the Chinese naval department
for n supply of armed frigates, and in
this regard an amusing incident has Just
come to light in connection with the set
tlement of the Caroline islands dispute
between Spain and Germany.
1t may be remembered that during the
war fever at Madrid, when the dispute
bore an ugly aspect, a national subscrip-
ton was opened in Spain for the acquisi-
ton of n torpedo boat. A sufficient sum
was speedily subscribed, although it did
not appear to strike the emotional
Madrilenes that their torpedo boat could
hardly be of immediate use in the event
of the dispute leading to II rupture be
tween the two countries. But happily an
immediate need for the vessel did not
arise, thank to the good sense and
moderation of both powers. The money
being subscribed. however. il was de-
cided by the committee to put it to its ap-
pointed use, and the torpedo boat, which
will be called the Ejcrcito, is now being
built in the German port OF Kiel.-San

If a prize were offered for the smallest
paper IN the world the latest addition to
the Partisan press would stand IA good
chance. 1t is called lie Quarter Latin
and its superficial area is less than IA leaf
of The Pail Mall Gazette. This insignif-
cant paper, taking for its title the name
of the great literary and artistic quarter
of Paris, it collaborateurs as

excessively bright and full of the genu-
inc esprit of the quarter.
Its strong feature is mots. Each mot
is signed by the author and preceded
with a little pictorial canard There are
also echoes from the Boub-M Niche (Boule-

district and letters addressed to the pro-
fessors. The editor has already got into
trouble with his staff. The collabora-
tours protest against having their contri-

A MODEL ESTABLISHMENT.
Tile Finest Confectionery Mandatory
in the West.

H. ....
In all of the cities west Of the Missis-
sippi river there is not one that can
boast of a confectionery establishment
that can in any way compete with the ex-
%cellence and pureness Of the confectionery
manufactured by MIR. III. III. Ellis, of this
city. This gentleman has always received
the patronage Of all the epicures of the
surrounding country, as well as of the
citizens Of this place, ard the verdict has
always been, by those who have tested
the merits of his candies, hat they can
not possibly be excelled anywhere. Upon
entering this establishment. situated on
Eddy street, between Sixteenth and Sev-
enteenth streets, a LEADER reporter was
confronted with one Of the most com
rlete, beautifully and %tasteiully arranged
stocks OF choice and elegant copfections
that 1t had ever been his lot TO witness in
any establishment at any time previous.
Upon the right were cases containing the
most elegant and choicest delicacies in
candies, aud all purely home made. nm.

To Strengthen the Memory.

After reading a book, or article, or an
item Of information from any reliable
source, before turning your attention TO
other things, give two or three min
utes' quiet thought to the subject that
has just been presented to your mind;
see how much you can RENE mber con-
cerning il; and if there were any hints
of special interest that impressed you
as real, force yourself to recall them.
1t may be little troublesome at first
until your mind gets under control and
learns to obey your will, but the very
effort 10 think it all out will engrave
the facts so deeply that they will not be
effected by the rushing in of a new and
different set of ideas; whereas II the mat
ter be given no further consideration at
all, the impressions you have received
viii fade away so entirely that within
q few weeks you will be totally unable
to remember more than dim outline
of them.-6. Nicholas.

fearful crash. In half an hour the lake
was empty. The flood rushed down, ac-
quiring new force as it burst from one
narrow gorge to another, and carrying
with it forests, rocks, houses, barns,
and cultivated lands. For the first four
miles it swep: along at the rate Of twen-
ty miles an hour, or as fast as an ordi-
nary train of rail cars. In six hours
and a-half il reached Lake Geneva, a
distance of forty-fve miles. Whole vii
lagos were destroyed. The entire lower
end Of the valley was covered with a
layer of new soil, brought by the tor
rent. In parts it was so deep that it was
necessary to cut roads through it. In
places, every landmark was efi'aced.
Where glaciers shall end is pretty
evenly decided by the warmth of the
air. They cannot long exist where the
ice is melting. There have been cases,
however, where they have pushed them
selves into cultivated fields. Men have
picked and eaten ripe cherries with one
foot upon the ice and the other upon the
tree. The glacier of Brenva, having
reached the foot OF the mountain, and
being still crowded on by the weight
of snow above, not only crossed the val
ley, but ploughed its way for 4 consid-
cradle distance up the opposite slope.
Green fields peeped from beneath 1t on
either side. The remains Of walls and
fences showed where large villages were
buried. The valley was divided by
wall of ice.
In Greenland, and other very cold
countries, the glaciers often descend to
the waters edge, and discharge them
selves upon the ocean in immense foes,
or bergs. II is not uncommon for yes
sci to fasten TO one of these great fields
of ice, and the crew to travel for days
along its surface, without discovering
but what they are upon the mainland.
Sometimes their size is equal to hun
dred square miles. They are raised
above the water from two to eight feet.
These bodies of ice are the cause Of
much danger to shipping; for vessel
caught between two Of them is almost
certain TO be crused. The stoutest ribs
cannot stand their pressure.
Ice fields and foes are often saltwater
formations, unconnected with glaciers,
but icebergs are always fresh. They are
comparatively small, but rise two or
three hundred feet above the water, in
very different and queer figures. Every
foot above water shows that there are
eight beneath, so they must sometimes
be more than two thousand feet thick.
They are loaded with rocks and other
substance, " Which, as the ice melts, fall
to the bottom Of the sea. Winds and
tides bring these bergs so far south that
they are often met by vessels crossing
from New York to Liverpool, and are
sometimes stranded on the coast of New
foundland.
