The Potomac river was frozen over
solidly at Shepherdstown the latter
part of last week. 1t is rather early in
the season for the river to freeze over.
Col. Crawford, engineer, of Phila-
delphia, had an interview, at Keyser,
w. Va, last week with the Citizens
Railroad committee of that place, and
arranged to make survey ofthe pro-
posed railroad from Keyser to Moore
field. Two corps will be placed on the
work at once. 1t is understood this
road if built will connect at Keyser
with Senator Davis's Piedmont and
Cumberland line.
Mr.. Samuel Jones, worthy and
industrious working mar of this place
is said to be losing his eyesight.
The canal has been tightly locked up
for week past by the ice and many
boats, loaded and empty, are strung
along the line, some CT them having
been sunk. The cold weather caught
them unprepared. President Baugh-
man has his ice-breakers at work, and
efforts will be made to keep the canal
open until the boats can be gotten
home.

WORK AND SLEEP.


SIeeplessness and Loss of Appetite Fol-
lowed by Weakness and Insanity.
The restoration of energy, which sleep
alone can afford. is necessary for the
maintenance of nervous vlgor, and
whereas the muscular system, if over
taxed, at last refuses to work, the brain
under similar circumstances too fire.
quently refuses to rest The sufferer,
instead Of trying to remove or lessen
the cause of his sleeplessness, comforts
himself with the hope that it will soon
disappear, or else has recourse to alco-
hol, morphia, the bromides, chloral,
etc. Valuable and necessary as these
remedies often are, q refer especially
to the drugs,) there can be no question
as to the mischief which attends their
frequent use, and there is much reason
to fear that their employment in the
absence of any medical authority
is largely on the increase. Many
of the proprietary articles" sold
by druggists, and in great demand at
the present day, eve their efficacy to
one or more of these powerful drugs.
Not few deaths have been caused by
their use, and in still larger number
of cases they have helped to produce
the fatal result. Sleeplessness is al
most always accompanied by indiges-
ton in some one or other of its protean
forms, and the two conditions react
upon and aggravate each other If
rest can not be obtained, and if the vital
machine can not be supplied with a due
amount of fuel, and, moreover, fails to
utilize that which is supplied, mental
and bodily collapse can not be far dis
tant. The details of the downward
process vary, but the result is much the
same in all cases. Sleeplessness and
loss of appetite are followed by loss of
flesh and strength, nervous irritability
alternating with depression, palpita-
ton and other arrangements of the
heart, especially at night, and many of
those symptoms grouped together under
thSold term ''hypochondriasis. " When
this stage has been reached 1.-THE border
lands of insanity are within measure

A TRUE INCIDENT.

Pointed Illustration of What Can Be Ac-
complished with Five Dollars.
Even small amount of money in
constant circulation may cancel many
obligations, or serve to give honest
employment to willing workmen. What
helps one man is likely to help another;
and he who pays his debts does more
towards liquidating the debts of other
men than he will be likely to imagine.
The following incident, founded on a
real occurrence, illustrates our mean
ing:
"A. owed fifteen dollars to b.
B. owed twenty dollars to C.
G. owed fifteen dollars to ID.
ID. owed thirty dollars to f.
3. owed twelve dollars and fifty cents
to F.
F. owed ten dollars to A.
All of the persons that these initials
represent were seated at the same table
A, having a five-dollar note, handed
it to b., remarking that it paid five
dollars of the fifteen dollars he owed b.
B. passed the note to c., with the re-
mark that it paid five dollars of the
twenty dollars which he owed
G. passed it to D., and paid with it
five dollars of the fifteen dollars he
owed d.
ID. handed it to E. in part payment
of the thirty dollars owed him.
f. gave it to F., to apply on account
OF the twelve dollars and fifty cents due
him.
F. passed it back to A.. saying This
pays half of the amount | owe you"
A. again passed it to b., saying: -
now only owe you five dollars"
b. passed it again to c., with the re-
mark, This reduces my Indebtedness
to you to ten dollars.
C. again paid it to D., reducing his
Indebtedness to five dollars.
d. paid it over to E., saying: Il now
owe you twenty dollars"
E. handed it again to F., saying:
This reduces my Indebtedness to you
to two dollars and fifty cents"
Again F. handed the note to A., say
ing Nov l don't owe you any
thing"
A. passed it Immediately to B., thus
CdllSClluS tLC DtIltlhCC VI his lltiCblCh-
ness.
B. handed it to c.. reducing his in
debtedness to five dollars.
c. cancelled the balance of his debt
to D. by handing the note to him,
D. paid it again to E., saying: Il
now owe YOU fifteen dollars
Then E. remarked to F.. IF you will
give me two dollars and fifty cents this
will settle my Indebtedness to YOU
F. took two dollars and fifty cents
from his pocket, handed it to E., and
returned the tive-dollar note to his
pocket, and thus the spell was broken,
the single five-dollar note having paid
eighty-two dollars and fifty cents, and
cancelled A. S debt to b., C.'s debt to
D., Els debt to F., and F.'s debt to A,
and at the same time having reduced
B.. debt to G. from twenty dollars to
five dollars, and DIS debt to E. from
thirty dollars to fifteen dollars

to the Senator. Then instantly there was
momentary hush, and the radiant bride
groom, taking advantage of it, said
proudly; My father and my friends, the
signature is quite correct l am Arthur
Shipleigh, Baron of Hythen Then there
was a little storm of applause, and nv
Lady Imogene rose grandly to the situa-
ton, and accepted it with such beautiful
pride in her love that not woman in the
assembly envied her in that hour her unex-
pected honor.
Perhaps the only dissatisfied person was
the Senator. He had sense of jury that
demanded some apology; and when the
company was gone, and the bride with her
sister preparing for her journey, he said,
almost responsibility; "Arthur, you have
not treated me well. | am an American
Senator, sir. l do not like even an English
Lord to steal into my house under false
colors.n
But Lord Hythe's excuses were ready: he
had wanted to taste what real life was, and
hoped inrthe great West, as a simple gentle.
man, to stand on his own merits. The
temptation to win Imogene on that ground
had been irresistible. In love and war all
stratagems are lawful, and, upon the whole,
he made out so good case for himself that
it was impossible to resist his arguments
and his frank smile and outstretched hand.
In the meantime the happy bride was
talking it over with her sister. Don't you
remember, Catherine, that told you had
a presentment Lord Hythe was coming

Il don't expect you will, my lady. Louis

YELLOWSTONE PARK.
Brief Description of Its Most Striking
and Wonderful Features.

DNtCA hOSI
and Wonderful Features
The park lies mostly between latitude
Al and As . and longitude no . and
Ill Q, extending on the west into Mon
tana. 1t is IS miles north and south
by SIS miles east and west, comprising
1915 square miles, and is all more than
5000 feet high. Yellowstone Lake (22
by 10 miles in extenD has an altitude
that hem in the valleys on every side
rise to the height of 10000 and 10000
feet, and are covered with perpetual
snow. During June, July and August
the atmosphere is pure and very invig-
Grating, with scarcely any ram, and
storms of any kind are rare; but the
thermometer frequently falls us low as
25 ., and there is frost every month of
the year. The entire region was at
comparatively modern geological period
the scene of remarkable volcanic activ-
ity. The most striking features of the
park are its geysers, hot springs,
waterfalls and canons. In the nUm-
Der and magnitude of its hot
springs and gcysers it surpasses all
the rest of the world. There are
probably so geysers that throw col
umn of water to a height of from so TO
200 feet, and from 5000 to 10000
springs, chiefly of two kinds, those de-
posting lime and those depositfng sill
lea. There is every variety of beauti-
full color, and the deposits form around
their borders the most elaborate Orna-
mentation. The temperature OF the
calcareous springs is from 1909 to
10 Q; that of the others rises to 200o
or more. The principal collections are
the upper and lower geyser basins of
the Madison river and the Calcareous
springs on Gardeners river. The
grand canyon of the Yellowstone, Great
Falls, $50 feet or more in height, Tower
Falls, ETC., are very remarkable. The
park is also one of the most interesting
geographical localities in North Amer
lea, having within its limits or in its vi
cinity the sources of vast rivers flow
ing in various directions. On the north
side are the sources of the Yellowstone;
ON the west those of the principal forks
of the Missouri; and the southwest and
south those of Snake river, flowing into
the Columbia and through it into the
Pacific Ocean, and those of Green river,
a branch of the great Colorado, which
empties into the gulf of California
while on the southeast side are the nu-
merous headwaters of Wind river.

AGE OF BUILDING
How Long 1t Takes For City to Rebuild
Itself

How long does it take for city to
rebuild itself?" said the Building In
spector, repeating the question of
reporter. "Well, that depends upon
the progressiveness of the city. should
say about seventy-five years. That is
the average life of a building nova
days. There are very few houses in
this city that were standing seventy
five years ago. The old houses on
North Capitol Street, built by General
Washington, are older than that, and
there are other old buildings in the city.
The Capitol is an old building, but
am speaking of private houses. The
buildings erected by the Government,
under careful supervision and great
expense, of course, are more
durable structures than those erected
for private residences. The building
which is being erected by Mr. Abel on
f Street will cost more per foot, we
suppose, than most Government build
ings. No, it may not be a good invest
ment, but it is not being put up as an
investment. 1t is monument. The
new State, War and Navy Department
building, is, however, just as well built
as that. That building will be stand
ing thousand years from now. 1t
may, of course, need some repairs be-
fore that time, and the roof, of course,
may have to be rebuilt. No material
or work is allowed to go into that build
ing unless it is up to the standard.
The army engineers who have charge
are very strict. OF course a private in
dividual would not put up such build
ing. 1t would not pay. Yes, good
brick ought to be just as durable as
stone. 1t depends II great deal on
the manner in which the bricks are
laid. Good mortar becomes harder
with age. 1t becomes harder than the
brick itself. When dry bricks are laid
during the warm months the bricks
will absorb all the strength of the NOR
tar. Bricks laid at such time ought
to be wet. A wall erected in April or
May or October and November, of suf-
ficient thickness, ought to last for two
or three centuries. - Washington Star
