Westminster Abbey in Need oi
Repair.
London Figaro.

More money will shortly be required
for the maintenance of the fabric OF
Westminster Abbey. for in the course
of the works on the north transept and
cloisters now in progress, some parts OF
the walls and buttresses have been
found in a very dilapidated condition.
So far. in fact. has been the drain upor
the funds at the disposal of the chapter
that there has for some years been
nothing available for internal work.
and the grand new organ which was
placed in the choir five years ago has
not yet been cased in. the great pipe:
remaining in their barren ugliness ovei
the choir stalls.

She would notice my embarrassment"
An hour afterwari Mrs. West re-
marked 10 a friend:
II had such delightful time yester,
day with Mrs. South. As bright as ever,
isn't she? She is certainly the most
brilliant woman | know. But did you
notice how the wrinkles are coming
around her eyes? Really, | was SO sur.
prised at first TO see how cd She had
begun 20 look that it embarrassed me.

ICE 10000 YEARS Old.
4 Mine in California in which There il
Perpetual Frost.

n tlh III tallAbFhlA Ah "htAi AhtIf -
Perpetual Frost.
The altitude OF the Stevens mine on
Mount Mcclellan california is 2,5Oi
feet. At the depth Of from 80 TO 200 feet
the crevice matter. consisting OF silica,
calcite and ore together with the sur
rounding wall rock. is a solid frozen
mass, says an exchange. Mcclellan il
one of the highest eastern spurs Of the
snowy range. 1t has the form of .
horseshoe. with a bold escarpment Of
feldsparic rock nearly 1000 feet high,
which. in some places. IS nearly per
pendicular.
In descending into the mine nothing
unusual occurs until q depth Of eighty
or ninety feet is reached, when the
frozen territory begins and continues
for over 200 feet. There are no indica.
tons of a thaw summer or winter.
The whole Of the 200 feet of frozen
walls is surrounded by massive rocks.
The miners. being unable TO excavate
the frozen material with pick and drill
in the usual way, found that the only
way to mine in this peculiar lode was
10 kindle a huge fire against the face
of the tunnel and in the morning take
out the ore hat had been thawed loose
during the night.
In fact. this was the only mode OF
mining used while going through the
frozen belt some ten or fifteen years
since. The tunnel is now many hun
dred feet deep, and still there is no
diminution OF the frost. There is, Is
far as can be seen. no opening or chan.
mel through which the frost could pos
sihly have reached such a depth from
the surface. Besides this there are
many other mines in the same vicinity
in a like frozen state.
The theory is that the rock was depos-
tied in glacial times. when there was
cold enough 10 freeze the very earth's
heart. In that case the mine is an ice
house whose stores have remained I'm.
thawed for al least so, 900 years.
The phenomenon is not uncommon or
in~explicable when openings car be
found through which a current of air
can pass; but cases which. like the
Stevens mine, show no opening for air
currents, must be referred 20 imbedaed
icebergs of the glacial period.

public interests hat the state can 20 Ideally
maintain higher institutions of learning. as
the mass OF the people who are taxed for
their support do not patronize them. Next
TO the common school, and in popular i'm
o-tance stands the academic course, and
this may naturally be engrafted into the
system by provision for such education in
counties or districts desiring to undertake
it's maintenance with such support as the
state may afford.
IL should embrace the usual collie e pre-
paratory work, and would dispense with
the maintenance of that department in the
colleges for whose regular courses it would
provide a constant supply from all over the
| state, besides increasing by many fo.d the
teneiciaries of this grade of learning, to-
gether with the many economical advant-
| ages to accrue from q closer contact with
| the more direct management by the
| people directly interested. Ii Is to be
| hoped at least that the eommon school sys-
! TEN will be placed upon the highest stand
ard developed by experiences, and thus give
! to every child Of the state Q substantial
education, fitting II for the duties Of cit.
xenship and usefulness before turning il
adrift in life,
10 this end compulsory acceptance q the
~sdvantagea freely furnished at public ex-
pense Is recommended, and also free use Of
necessary books when the child or its par
snts are unable, through poverty. to pro-
vide them
Sseps should be taken also, to secure uni
formity OF text books throughout the state,
which should be purchased by the state at
the lowest price attainable for the large
quantity required and furnished ut cost to
all able to purchase. IL Is believed this
method would result In q saving Of many
thousands Of dcllars annually, besides the
benefits accruing to the cause from uni
formity.

FRENCH ARMY DISCIPLINE.
Brutal Punishment Accorded the sol-
diers for Bad Behavior.

dierS for Bad Behavior.
From Family Fair
The punishments in vogue in the French
army are Of very severe nature, more es-
pescially when 1t is considered that the men
thus punished are not by any means crimi-
nails, but only soldiers who have not behaved
so welIas they might. These are deported to
Algiers under the name of "Camisards,n
where they are enrolled in the Com
pagDies de discipline" Before embarking
theman has his boots taken from him, which
are replaced by sabots, and on arriving at
his destination he receives uniform Of gray
wool and cap with a large brim. The
men are farmed out TO do work, and are all
the time under the supervision of non-conl-
missioned officers, who treat their inferi-
ors with the greatest brutality. 1t is, how
ever, thepunishment to which the men are
subjected for the most trifling offense which
must excite indignation.
A common punishment is to keep them
night and day in hole in the ground with
perpendiculr walls, so that escape is impos-
sible. Scorching heat by day and cold by
night with rations reduced to one quarter of
their proper quantity, make the very COM
mon punishment of the gnrgouLe extremely
trying. The imprisoning Of men IN the
tO1nbedu1, or regulation tents, which are
only fifty centimetres broad and sixty high,
is no rarity and during their incarceration
the prisoner receive no water, nor wine nor
coffee. A little meat and some bouiLlon is
their whole nourishment during the day.
But those whoare punished with cells are
incomparably worse off. They are never
allowed, under any circumstances, to leave
the hole they are kept in either By day or by
night. They have no duties or work to pass
the time and only get some warm soup every
second day, with very limited quantity OF
water daily. This punishment is made still
more severe by putting the man into irons
on certain occasions. The delinquent has
two iron rings around his ankles, which are
connected by an iron bar rather more than
a foot in length, so that his legs form an
isosceles Triangle with it. He is forced to lie
down on his face and then his arms are
chained on his back, whereupon he is put
into his tombeou, He eau only eat his soup
like dog and if he wants to drink he must
seize his bottle with his teeth, and should
he let the bottle fall his ration of water is
lost for that day. Any complaints are at
once stopped by gag.
Only quite recently punishment was in
use called the crdpGudifte. The prisoners
hands and feet were chained together, and
in this posture he was strung up on TO an
iron bar. The cGmisdrd is also in use.
The soldier is first put into a strait-jacket,
his hands are tied on his back, and round his
neck an iron collar is fastened, which is at
tached TO an iron bar ia the wall. The man
has TO stand in this POSITION as long as eight
days, unable to lie down or 10 90 anything
for himself.

Shameful Gift Taking.
From the Chicago Herald.

John Wanamakers gift of $4,000 cot
tage at Cape May to Mrs. Benjamin Harri-
son, and the latter's prompt acceptance of
the gratuity, easily make up the most
shame full incident of an administration that
has been more scandalous and disgraceful
than anything that the country has seen
since the second term Of Grant.
1t is bad enough that John Wanamaker,
who raised a gigantic corruption fund in
1898, should have been paid for his services
by an appointment to the cabinet, but it is
even worse that he should characterize his
official career by making such gifts to the
wife of the man who placed him, and that
his insulting generosity should be accepted
without q blush. With this wretched ex-
ample in high places we may look for a
speedy revival of gift giving aud gift
taking. It is an easy descent from cottages
by the sea to bull pups and packages of
greenbacks.
The tone of the Harrison administration
was pitched lower than that Of any other
within the memory of the present gener-
alton. 1t entered Office bound and gagged
by the corrupt and vicious elements of the
party. 1t has gone speedily from bad to
worse. The gift-taking stage has now
been reached. A year more and we shall
hear of the sale of offices, safe burglary
or two, and probably Credit Mobilier and
a salary grab
