fire communicated to the large elevator, hav-
ing capacity OF 10000 bushels; the
Cleveland, Akron & Columbus freight

the Windsor hotel, all of which buildings
were destroyed. While the conflagration
was roaring rumor spread that a falling
wall had buried nine or ten people. Whether
there is any foundation for this report is
not yet known A brisk wind was blowing,

More and moae Japanese are coming
to this country every year, and they are
usually of an excellent order. They are
mostly between Is and 25 years old, and
of the middle class, such as farmers,
storekeepers, etc. All of them are to an
extent educated when they arrive, in
consequence of the compulsory law of
education in the empire. Their chief
object in coming is to gain complete
education and to study the manners and
customs of the republic, which they
rightly regard as very practical. A
large part of them, on their return, OBJ
tain renumerative employment; the fact
that they have served an apprenticeship
in the United States putting a premium
on their services. Certainly the bulk of

Mighty NTonarchs OF the Forest sawn
Asunder by Natures Forces.
One evening about $3.50 o'clock and
the sun still high above the western
mountain range, we found ourselves OPP
posite the Davidson glacier. 1t passes
out of broad ravine and spreads fam
like upon the shore under the neighbor-
ing cliffs. 1t is three miles in breadth
along the 'front.' and is 1900 feet in
height when it begins to crumble and
slope toward the shore. A terminal
moraine a mile and half in depth sep
arates it from the sea- A forest, or a
remnant of forest, stands between it
and the water it is slowly but surely APP
preaching.
The fate of this solemn wood is sealed.
Anon the mightiest among these
mighty trees will fall like grain before
the sickle of the reaper. We were very
near this glacier. We saw all the wrin-
kles and assures and the deep discolora-
tions.
We saw how the montrous mass
wound in and out between the noun
tains, and crowded them on every side.
and rubbed the skin off in spots, and left
grooved lines like high-water marks
along the face of the cliffs: how it
gathered as it went and ground to pow
der and to paste whatever came
within its reach, becoming worse and
worse, and greedier and more rapa-
cious as it creeps down into the low
lands, so that when it reaches the sea,
where it must end its course and dis
xaoIx wnx,1l
with slime and confusion; it will have
left ruin and desolation in its track, but
it will likewise have cleft out valley
with walls polished like brass and a floor
as smooth as marble; one that will be
used in after ages, when it has carpeted
itself with green and hung its walls
with the tapestry of its vine. Surely no
other power on earth could have done
the job so neatly.
One sees this work in progress and in
fresh completion in Alaska. The bald
islet yonder, with surface as smo ,th as
glass and with delicate tracery as.n IFS
polished sides -tracery that 10 * Ike
etching upon glass-was n1oici.cl by
glaciers not so very many yeas ago;
within the century, some of them per-
haps. A glacier, probably the very
glacier we are seeking, followed this
track and ground them all into shape;
every angle of actio of motion shall /
say, is indelibly impressed upon each
and every rock hereabout; so all these
northlands, from sea to sea, the world
over, have been laboriously licked into
shape by the irresistible tide of ice.
Verify, the mills of the gods grind
slowly, but what grist they grind

Cold Coffee for Marching soldiers.

A good mark for Gen. BouIangerl Tn
the instructions sent to the officers COM
manding the regular army and the
militia reserves engaged in the autumn
manoeuvers they were told to pre-
vent, as much as possible, soldiers
drinking at the first well they meet, and
if the weather was hot, to make each
man take with him before setting out
on long march provision of filtered
water. If he had. said, "a provision Of
cold Coffee" it would have been better.
There is no such safe and sustaining
drink as coffee for the marching soldier,
tourist or sportsman. It prevents, in
places where food is scarce and bad,
typhus fever, by counteracting rapid
waste of the tissues.
The internal waste caused by fatigue
is the most dangerous of any. inasmuch
as the vitality is too low to throw it off,

soldiers, when out on holiday excur- /.
sions, drink water out Of the first well
they meet, and to prevent the rapid
using up of their own bodies they
ought to fill up their TASKS, before
