 Spending a Sunday recently with q friend in a delightful summer resort. We happened to be sitting on the yer anda as a milkman's wagon drew up The milkmau. a sturdy young fellow of pleasant face, dismounted rang d bell by way of warning to the maids of the vicinity to get their pitchers ready. and then started around with his cans and his pint measure. As he passed around to the back door of the cottage. our friend saluted him as one gentleman salutes another. And when the milkman had gone. the other said
 "That young man is a member of the class of go at Harvard College !"
 "Indeedh'
 "Yes. He is carrying himself through entirely by his own cxertions. and he takes this way of helping him. self out. l dare say he makes enough money selling milk at a good figure to the people here in the summer time to pay the greater part of his expenses for the remainder of the year at Cam bridge
 ''Does he water his milk?'
 Not perceptibly. It is very good milk, and l hayo no doubt he is as honest as the business allows
 A young man in the house who be. longs to the class below the milkman's in college, testifes to the excellent standing of the young man at Har- yard. .-Boston Transcript.

THE BUSY lCE-WORM.
Cool Story Told in All Seriousness by
 Rochester (N. YO Lady.

A Cool Story Told in All Seriousness by a
 Rochester (S. Y) Lady.
 at seems IS if every year adds to the list of pests which are sent for some reason to torment poor suffering humanity said lady to a reporter. She evidently had something on her mind besides potato bugs. cabbage worms. grubs and thousands of de- structlve insects which prey upon veg citation generally and on 'eyery thing green except white geese and college freshmen. ''I have been bothered by carpet worms, moth miIIers, red and black ants, reaches and Croton bugs, but they are nothing compared to the latest pest
 What is this plague?n said the re- porter.
 '1s it possible that you never heard of the ice-worm?n said the lady with astonishment depicted on every feature of her countsnance. Why, recollect that the ice crop along the Hudson was ruined by this pest several years ago. or, at least, the newspapers said it was. The worm moved Vest according to report, and at least two years ago it was stated that the ice dealers inclosed their store-houses with fne-wire netting to keep the worms from getting at the eongealed water. It would seem that this pre- caution was unavailing and scientists now say that the worm is left in the water in the shape of an egg. frozen up in the ice and matched out in the spring.
 How does it affect the ice?o asked the reporter.
 Its ravage5 are not apparent until tho cakes of ice are broken up for use, {" was the reply. If the men who de- liver the days supply notice that a cake is light weight they don't say any thing, but put it in the refrigerator with as much apparent muscular effect as if it were solid instead of being d hollow delusion. The trouble comes when it is broken up for table use. The thin shell is fractured easily, and out comes q wriggling mass Of long black worms as thick as my finger, and anywhere from six inches to a foot long. My Bridget nearly went crazy the first time she saw these horrible creatures. but now We are all used to them. They are harmless and can be tanned and taught many little tricks, and thus they afford endless amuse- ment for the children. They must be kept in cool place. however, else they die at once. We find just as many of these worms in lake ice as in that taken from the canal, but the latter are the more ferocious and show fight when touched. If you will call about dinner time will give you chance to interview the pests. The reporter did not call as hc had another engage- ment.-Roehester Post-EXpress.

Stanley and the African slave.trade.

Probably no man has ever excelled
Stanley in his wise treatment of the
Africans. He seems to have a natural
instinct of the best way to manage
these people, who combine great child
ishness with natural ferocity. Stanley
is firm, but kind, considerate. and gen.
erOus. The natives know that he is
strong, and they have faith in his
honesty and truth. He has managed
the savages with wonderful skill. The
slave-traders hate and fear him, and
many people have thought that if he
were ever surprised and cut off IN
Africa it would be by the malice of
these bad men, who fear for their
trade. Stanley, like Livingstone, saw
enough of the horrors of the slave
trade to he in deadly earnest to do all
that lay in his power TO stop 1t. Tippoo
lib. the Arab trader, has long been a
slave-dealer. though he has pretended
to give up the horrible traffic since he
has been associated with Stanley. Very
likely, if he ever got a chance to go
ing found out, he would do it. And,
if Stanley stood in his way some men
think Tippoo Tib would not hesitate
even to kill Stanley. and 50 be rid of
him. Tippo Tib is now a very great
man in Central Africa. He is enor-
mously rich, and he can raise force
of many thousands of men whenever he
has occasion to call for them.
1t is singular that it should now be
thought necessary to send search
expedition for Stanley, after all he
has done in that direction himself.
But Leopold, King of the Belgians, and
others, devoted friends of Stanley, pro-
pose to do this very thing. unless news
of the White Pasha's safety comes 10
