A Natural Tunnel.

From the Dalton (Gd.) Argus.
A few miles east of Tilton, IN the neigh
borhood of Pine Chapel, in Gordon county,
there is a cave phenomenon which is rare
curiosity. Through one Of the mountain
spurs there is natural tunnel. In enter
ing this tunnel 1t is ecessary to stoop, but
after getting in few feet, an open arch
way OF about feet in width, and or 10
feet in hight is reached, which in beauty Of
finish may be likened unto an elegan, pas
senger coach, with all character of
te selated cornice hanging from the up
per side arches. The walls are smooth and
even. A few hundred feet into the
cent er Is a wideped corridor, of some 20 by
so feet. in the center of which is small
pool of clear, crystal water. While there is
no visible open outlet for this water, it is
pure and fresh as from an outside spring.
In this apartment the stone ceiling is sup
ported by elegant and sy nmetrically shaped
columns, as II designed and placed by a
master workman Of great skill. Along one
wall is an outJetting of stone as IL hewn 5or
a settee.
Passing on through to the other outlet is
O perfect duplicate Of the entrance. At one
point a stream of light pours down from an
opening in the upper arch. The tempera-
ture Is about so. All in all, it is a wonder
full piece OF natural architecture.

which was more than enough to cover the
bay window. In spite of these veracious

where, no matter how Maude arranged her

temporary expedient to cover that hole
until she could take it up into quadratic
equations and lose it. Meanwhile she re-
marked that if knew as much as a COW
about lacking down carpets she wouldn't
have to make all those hard figures. tried
to make the multiplication table prove me an
innocent man, but Maude knew better, and
she said so many hard things on the subject
that, in spirit of true christian humility,
l went ont and bought a peace offering,
consisting of one dozen soft shell crabs for
breakfast. Maude is so fond of crabs that
she would rather eat one than quarrel with
her husband. | never knew a woman who
was that way before. She thanked me
for my thoughtfulness, and Immediately
after dinner she sat down with her cook
book and looked up the best way to prepare
them.
"Katy's going to a ball this evening, ="
said Maude, land it's just possible that l
may have to cook breakfast tomorrow
At this moment Katys voice was heard
in the hall asking if Mrs Fielding "wad
lind her tn loan av waterproof, for it do
be rainin' cats an dogs" Katy is good
girl, and she used formerly to send every
cent she earned to her parents in the old
country, but since they moved over here
and began to make their own living. she
has had a penny or two 10 spend on style.
She was arrayed in a green silk dress, de-
collette with no sleeves Maude had given
her an old pair of long yellow gloves. The
hands were too small, so she cut them off
and sewed them to the wrists of my dog
skin driving gloves The combination was
striking.
Mr.. Fieldin'," said she, "Oive forgotten
to bring up the coal for the fire in the
morning do yez mond; and yez be good
enough to get it, dunno; for don't want
to soil me lest gownd which l do with

Katys full dress was too much for us
both, so while Maude went for the water
proof, took the coal scuttle and a candle
and descended the stairs. At the bottom l
stepped into IS inches of water that was
cold enough to skate on. Then / sat down
on the stairs and emptied a quart Of water
out Of my slippers.
"Howdy," said Maude at the head Of the
stairs, "what are you swearing about in
that frighful manner!n

An hour or two later l walked into the
railroad restaurant at Crewe station, on the
grea5 Northwestern line A well-dreSsed
Englishwoman of 80, leading a little ia ry

was the order she gave to the girl-attend-

Yes; penny glass for her,"
The bit of girl sipped her beer with rel

''One tea and one whisky"
"Scotch or Irish."
He turned to the matron for reply.

The tea was for the man and several fir

NEW YORK. Sept. 30.-When Maude and
moved into the little house which we now
occupy, asked the agent in the clearest
language could command whether the eel
lar was DIV. and the old brass-mounted liar
replied that it was. This remin ded him
he was little dry himself; and while he
withdrew to moisten his parched interior
with quarter that happened to find con-
ceeled in my clothing, Maude and l talked
the matter over and decided to take the
house.
It was some little time before we discov-
ared that our cellar had holes in it. We
were occupied with the arrangement of our
household goods, and with the problem of
making parlor cerpet, cut for floor 16x11
feet cover room 10 feet square, with a
hay window in it. Maude said it could be
done. She dragged out some Of the higher
mathematics she learned at Vassar, brushed
the dust off them, and then figured 1t out
this way:
The old room was / foot longer and II feet
wide-a gain of II square feet for the old
room: and the new one was | foot shorter
and IS feet wide-a loss of Is square feet for
the new room.
