How Ice is Harvested.

Two acres of ice were first marked in
squares, the size needed. the whole re-
sembling checker board from view at
the top of the 'run." After the mark
ing, an ice plow was fitted into the
grove made, and drawn by one horse; il
soon cut the required depth of three OF
four inches. By a gentle tap of the ice
pick between cakes, a raft Of fifty cakes
is soon on its way to the foot of the
''run," where the men stand as thick as
they can work separating the cakes and
guiding them on to the endless chain
apparatus which, propelled by steam,
carries them to different landings. Half
way up he ''run," where the ice planer
is fastened, as every cake passes under
it, the snow or rubbish if any, is re-
moved and the cakes are thus of uni
form thickness. The men stationed on
the landings guide cake, weighing 500
pounds, into an opening of the buildings
where six men pack it away before its
momentum is lost. It requires IT'S
cakes forty -four inches square, to make
one laye in each of the six rooms, thirty.
six men working inside. Each room
will contain twenty-six layers, or 1850
cakes of ice of four times the ordinary
size, which IS twenty-five inches.
The ice preserves better by having
less air space between the cakes, hence
the large size. The three large build
ings of six rooms will contain, when
filled, 81. 800 cakes, weighing 6s25 tons.
If placed end to end they would reach
eighteen miles; if placed one above an
other an ice monument five miles high
would be the result. lt.-HarttorG Times.

Freaks Married OH the Trot.

An exciting marriage took place at the
Wonderland Museum in Memphis, Tenn.
The groom was William Quinn, the
lecturer of the museum, and the bride
Venic Cavalier, one of the alb;nos on ex-
hibition. The affair was entirely unex-
pected to the goodly company of freaks
and employees, and there was great
commotion when Justice of the Peace
appeared and called up the loving pair.
John Cavalier, also an albino and a
brother of the bride, rushed forward and
forbade the bans. The Justice re-
monstrated, but, nothing daunted, the
brother grabbed the bridegroom by the
collar and the groom grasped the brother
by the hair. They waltzed around the
room in hostile embrace, the bride
clinging to her chosen and the Jus.
t;ce following in q trot, repeating
the formula required by law. By
the time the circuit of the room was
completed the Justi;e announced that
the twain we're man and wife, and then
sailed in and separated the irate husband
and brother. The newly married couple
left the hall under the protection OF the
law. The brother swears vengeance on
his new relative. Chicago Herald,

An Old Lace Revival.

There is an evident and firm intention
to bring old lace into favor Very dressy
directoire toilets, with long coats of vel
vet or heavy weight moirc antique lace
waistcoat of real lace creamy and old.
Venetian point is the most sought for,
after this Genoise point and then Irish
point. The more elegant qualities of
duchesse and Yalenciennes are some
what used, but not unless they have the
creamy hue of age. Full plated ties Of
silk muslin, knottcd in a loose bow and
ends are now trimmed with real lace,
when two months ago they were made
plain. These are considered the things
to wear at afternoon receptions. Just
now bridal scarfs in lace are speciality
thrown on the market. They average
two or three yards in length, and are
sometimes used as bridal wells. At re-
cent wedding the BRIDE, q wealthy heir
css, wore two of these bridal scarfs, fast
cned on each side of her bridal coi!fure
with diamond ornaments, and hanging
to the hem of her train. Usually, how
ever, one scarf is so costly luxury that
to double it would be too great an ex-
travagance, aGd it is then pinned in the
center to the hair, one end little shorter
than the other The bride, alluded to
above, also wore wide lace flounces,
matching her scarfs and completely COW
ering the front of her dress. The price
of these was $125 founce. The bride
maids at this wedding wore gowns Of
pale blue tulle, made over blue moire, of
which also were made the slippers. They
carried bouquets of pale yellow tulips.

The Man Who Defended Parnell.:

The name of Sir Charles Russell will
be given an honorable pace in the hs-
tory of the struggle for Home Rule 1or
Ireland. He is the senior counsel for the
Parnellites. and it was his incisive and
searching cross-examination that drove
the forger Pigott in terror from England.
Sir Charles is a remarkable man IN more
RESPECTS than one. He is a man OF about
fifty wears. He stands five feet eleven
inches high. and is built like an athletic,
His complexion is florid and his hair 9
dark brown, slightly tinged with gray.
He was born in County Wexford, Ire
land, and has practiced his profession
with distinction in Ireland and England
for a quarter of a century. he was
knighted when he was made Attorney
General of England, no man ever lelt the
Office with higher reputation. *
When the Parnell Commission was
created Russell was approached by
Editor Buckle, of the 1inass, and offered
$3.50 day to represent the paper while
the Commission sat. He declined the
offer on principle because he believed the
letters were forgeries. The Attorney
General, Sir Richard Webster, was re-
tained at $500 day.
The domestic life of Sir Charles is one
that any man might envy. he lives in .

A Railway Accident Causes q Panic.

On the road connecting Teheran, Per-
sia, with one of the suburbs, Mahome-
tan was killed not long ago. His infu-
rated friends who soon gathered in the
neighborhood rushed upon the engineer
and fireman. both Of whom were left
half dead. The station was burned to
the ground, and the rolling stock along
the line completely destroyed. The in :
tervention of the army alone stopped
further demolition. The company. which
was Belgian, placed their loss at ninety
thousand roub!es and demanded resti-
tuition from the Government. At first it
was utterly refused, the authorities argu-
inc that it owed its merited loss to care
lessness. After the company had threat
ened to run no more trains and to
withdraw entirely from the country, the
Government compromised by giving
them sixteen thousand roubles and the
exc usive privilege of establishing the
only match factory in Tcheran. These
terms were accepted. But tho people
were not quieted for some time. The road
was avoided by the majority of the in
habitants, who preferred walking to
risking their lives. Confidence was not
restored until the Crown Prince, man
of great influence among his people,
entered the car to ride to the castle in
Teheran. With this encouragement
traffic was med.-Aryoaaa.

The Washington Ear.

With the march of modern improve
ments and the growth of luxury, diseases
and their names increase, and humanity
suffers from a score of polysyllable all
ments now that our grandfathers never
heard of. The latest is the "Washing-
ton ear" and such name IS a provoca-
tion to all the jokers and scotfers who
know what extraordinary things the
Washington ear is capable of taking in,
and the Washington tongue thereafter
spreads. A friend of mine was taken
with sudden and frightful pain in the
ear, after long drive on windy day
in an open carriage. Mindful of Roscoe
Conkling's sufferings and untimely end,
she sent at once for the best aurist in
in the city, and after the first look he
said: "Oh, it is nothing hut the Wash

by the dust from these asphalt pave

their ear-drums by following infamma,

Dancing to Phonograph Music.

Osgood S. Wiley, who was sent to
England last September by Thomas A.
Edison as special agent for the recently
invented arc separator, has returned
home. When he sailed for England he
took with him large number of phono.
graph cylinders, which created furore
in John Bulls domain. A number OF
receptions were given at the home of
Colonel Gouard, Edison's foreign agent,
near London. At the first reception the
music employed by Markwlths fltth
Regiment Band, played into the phono;;
graph in Orange, N. j., was reproduced
with such distinctness that the ladies
and gentlemen present danced to the
strains.
A short time ago Mr.. Wiley accepted
an invitation to exhibit the phonograph
at the home of the Prince of Wales, and
there for an entire evening he and mis-
assistants entertained the royal family.

New ROnnctS,

The light texture of the new bonnets
shown at importers is noteworthy. A
large number of chip hats and of Neapo-
Titan hats are offered among these bon
nets, which are universally trimmed with
sheer trimmings of tulle and other light
fabrics and with flowers. Yellow is a
popular color, and all the popular yellow
spring flowers, daffodils, buttercups,
dandelions and yellow crocuses are rep
resented in the new millinery. The hats
for country wear and outside city streets
are large, but the bonnets are no larger
than those now worn. There are some
curious combinations of two light colors
to which we have not yet become used,
like straw color and gray, which are
combined with white in the new mlllin-
cry. Most of the small bonnets are fin
ished with a lace trimming like ban
deau of roses or some other flower. En-
tire bonnets arc formed of flowers, like
cornfowers, violets or rosebuds.-Ns0

Hike the Anglo-Sazon speech
With its direct revealinSs:
1t takes ho,l and seems 20 reach
Far down mo your feeling;
That soma l2ii; laem it rude, Know
And the:c:o-. ;,::ey a,J:5e it;
But have never founl 50,
Before all e:se choose it.
Idon't object that men should air
Tho Gallo they have paid for,
With eau revoir," "adieu, ma chere,"
For that's what French was made for.
But when c:ony takes you hand
At parting to address you,
He drops all foreign lingo and
He says: "Good-by, God bless youl"
This seems to ne sacred phrase
With reverence impassioned;
A thing come down from righteous days,
Quantity, but nobly fashioned.
It well becomes an honest face,
a voice that's round and cheerful;
It stays the sturdy in his pace
And soothes the weak and fearful
Into the porches Of the ears
It steals with subtle JUNCTION,
And in your heart of hearts appears
To work its gracious function;
And all day long with pleasing song
1t fingers to caress you.
I'm sure no human heart goes wrong
That's told "Good-by, God bless you!"
Hove the words, perhaps because,
When was leaving mother,
Standing at last in solemn pause
We looked at one another,
And I, saw in mothers eyes
The love she could not tell me,
A love eternal as the skies,
Whatever fate befell me.
She put her arms about my neck
And soothed the pain Of leaving,
And, though her heart was like to break,
She spoke no word Of sr.eving;
She let no fear tedim her eye,
For fear that might distress me,
But, kissing Inc, she said good-by,
And asked our God to bless me.

is a novel affair in Paris with hood and
canine looking buttons. The first piece
of the goods was presented by the Ell
beuf weaver who made it to President
Carnot. It looks like rough tweed,
and is very silky and strong. The notion
has pleased the ladies, and there is con-

dresses and for gentlemen's waistcoats.
Besides portrait of the dog whose first
silky coat suggested that its hair might
be spun and woven is given with every

Presently a white-haired old lady-a

to her feet. All eyes were turned upon
her, and we waited to see whether she
wished to make few remarks or lead in
prayer. One hand encased in its wrinkled
black kid glove went fumbling among
the folds of her skirt. After long
pause she drew out clean handkerchief
still in its folds, and then with an air of
relief, slowly sat down again. She had
only risen to find her pocket. ."-MaO
