Touching Glasses.

The custom among the Germans OF
touching the glasses before drinking arose
at the time of the immense medieval
banquets Of the nation. A Glowing cup"
was passed from lipto lip, TO show that
all were Of one mind; but the slowing
cup" was of necessity so large us to be
unhandy. In place Of this, smaller cups
and glasses were given to each, and the
tradition of the glowing cup" was pre-
served by the clicking of the glasses.
The custom of having smaller glasses for
each is said to have arisen from the assas
sination of King Edward. 1t was then the
habit of the Anglo-Saxons to pass around
a large cup, from which each guest
drank, he who thus drank stood up. took
the large vessel in both hands, and raised
it to his lips. AS lie lifted the cup his
body was exposed, and the occasion was
seized by treachc:ous enemies to murder
him. This danger led to the adoption of
the plan that, as one drank, his next
friend was responsible for his safety dur
ing the act, and usually arose also and
TODD with drawn sword.

His Boots Are Number 10.

MIR. Arnold, of Thompson, liz onl,
sixteen years old, but he is over six
feet tall and his fces arc famous, writes
n Connecticut correspondent. They arc
bigger than any other feet i'll Windhnm
County, md perhaps in the New En-
gland States. Young Thompson ston-
ped into Eli Traces shoe shop ut Cen
tral Village the other day and said he
him II pair of boots.
All right" said Eli, "just put your
foot on this measure, and III get your
size"
Thompson tried 20 do rs he had been
hidden, but found il impossible to com
ply with the request. Although Tracy
slipped the marker out to the Jump
ing off place on the measure, there was
not nearly room enough TO nccomn,o-
date the young mans extraordinary
foot.
"Well," said he looking up aghnst,
u never! You beat the record. Whit
size boot do you usually wcar?"
"Oh, generally can get on sixteens,"
replied the youth, with ingenious com
p!acency, "but utterly they've pinched
my feet some, and I guess I'll take II
size or two larger this time"
Tracy then made approximate es-
innate of the big foot, aud found that
1t called for IL boot one inch and hall
longer than his measure. Il can't fill
the bill for You, said he, "for You tnkc
n boot bigger than any last .hat is
made"
So Young Thompson had TO &C away
without hope, and lie is in dilea,mn.
The prospect is that he will have to 20
nnshod during the remainder of his
life unless he can persuade some
liberal solcd contractor to make II last
especially for his use, which will lie
expensive. Thompson is not the only
eix-footer and bigiouIcr in his family.

ldahO's Wonderful lee Mine

4 wonderful ice mmc has been discov
cred i'll Idaho. 1t is on Pine creek can
yon, between Big Bear and Texas Ridge,
in the eastern part of Latah County. The
point of interest is at an elevation oil
about two thousand feet above the sea
level, and about five hundred feet from
the canyon on the homestead claim of
George Walker.
The discovery was made by parties
passing over the place whose attention
was attracted by Il very cold, chilling cur
rent of air rushing from the carih's sur
face from under IL moss bed of three or
four inches in depth. The adjacent sn..-
face. six or eight feet distant, was coy
cred with vcrdurc, presenting no differ
cnt aspect from the whole hillside. An
investigation WAS commenced, simple in
nature, as the parties had no tools with
them. The moss was pushed aside a
few boulders removed, disclosing I'M ice
vein from one to five inches in thickness.
Another layer Of boulders and debris and
more veins OF ice alternately appeared
The cold, chilling air, still rushing forth,
indicates that there must he an immense
cave not far distant, from which the air
comes.
From the judgment Of very intelligent
men who have examined the curiosity
they feel assured that this c0ngelaton
never took place from external atno-
Sphere influences, as SHOWS and frosts
are quite mild in this canyon. Various
and many speculations can be induged in
II. II
formations in this remarkable country, so
noted for geological curiositics, and one
theory is that this ice formation is relic
OF the glacial period not wholly covered
by the ovcriiows that cover the old
e"rih's surface foriy-Iivc feet in depth
where Moscow nov stands.
