America the Bourne of the Emirrnnt.

America the Bourne of the Emigrzant.
The degree to which America offers
prominent advantages to the emigrant
is just now shown strikingly by the ex-
listing conditions in Iceland. 1t is said
that that country is gradually becoming
depopulated owing to the constant emi-
grafton of its people to the shores of
Canada and the United States These
emigranls send back such favorable ac-
counts of their new home that Others
quickly follow. 1t is estimated that 90
600 natives, nearly one-quarter of the
whole population, have left the country
IN the last year. The emigrants are said
TO be chiefly from the northern and east
ern districts, where labor is carried on
only under great difficulties, besides
which recent haryests have been very
bad and have entailed much suffering.

One Man Against Pack of wolves.

Andrew Phillipot, farmer living
near Salisaw. L. r., set out to visit a
sick neighbor half mile distant Friday
night, and while passing through lone
ly woods on his return home was at
tackled by pack of wolves. He was
unarmed, but seized large stick, and as
the wolves came closer and closer he
kept them at bay while he hallooed for
help. A big wolf sprang at him, but he
beat it off, wounding it, and made a
break for a tree. The wolves followed,
snarling and Swapping at his heels
Again Phillipot drove them back and
ran to another tree. In this way he
succeeded in getting in sight of his house,
and his cries brought assistance. The
rescue was timely, as Phillipot tainted
from exhaustion just as help reached
him.-Cor. Dallas News.

A Ghost Identified by a Photograph.
What is said to be haunted house is
situated at Andersonville, half a mile
west of Scottdale, Pa. The house is said
to be visited by the ghost of its former
owner. and for that reason family has
just vacated it. The house has been
visited every night this week by many
persons desirous of seeing the ghost.
They say that in watching the residence
about 12 o'clock at night you will see a
curious light CLEAN forth from the up
stairs window. Mrs. William Mier, who
occupied the house until few weeks
ago and vacated it ON account of the fear
of the supposed ghost, relates thrilling
story of her adventure
She says that about week ago, late
at night, she went upstairs, and was
Mortified to see the face and hands of
what she thought greatly resembled
human being. 1t frightened her to such
an extent that she tainted. When she
related her story to her husband he
laughed her to scorn, but few days ago
she induced him to go up stairs at
stated hour and see if he could see the
supernatural being. He complied with
her request, and was amazed to see the
same face and hands, which had every
indication of a human being.
The supposed ghost resembled an old
man, and as the house was owned and
occupied by Jacob Anderson, who died
a few years since, a great many people
thought it was probably his ghost. Ac-
cordingly Mrs. Mier, who is a stranger
in this place, visited Mrs. John Colds
borough, who is daughter of the late
Jacob Anderson. An album was given
her containing Anderson's photograph,
which she quickly recognized on sight.
Mrs. Mier never saw Anderson, and tie
moment she looked at his picture she
recognized it as being an exact likeness
of the face she saw in the old Anderson
house.
The people don't take much stock in
spook business, but Mrs. Mier's and
other peoples stories, who are accredit-
ed with seeing the one spoken of, are
certainly increasing the belief in this
vicinity that there are such visitations.
Mrs. Mier is an intelligent lady.

Brass Buttons Below Par.

There is one assignment naval officer
breads more than sea duty. met an
officer on the street today who poured
into my ear a sad tale of woe. He had
come to Washington to apply for sea
duty, though it has been but a few
months since he finished three years
cruise, during which he nearly lost his
life. The reason Of his discomfort is that
he has been placed on duty at the Nor
folk navy yard. He has been there a
few months, and is now ready to accept
any assignment the powers that be are
willing to give him. If there is set of
men in the world who live for society it
is the naval set. That's why they like
Washington-th why they want shore
duty. There is as good society in Nor
folk as is to be found anywhere; but the
trouble is that no officer of the Federal
service is admitted to it. Pampered and
petted everywhere else in the world, in
Norfolk the navy officers are ostracized.
The doors of the best society are closed
against them; they are received by no.
body. Their presence is resented as an
affront to the people; their blue coats
and brass buttons have no charms for
the fair; and they are made to feel as
lonely and miserable as any set of men
in uniform can feel. Washington Cor.

It is pleasant to observe that the old
proverb about necessity being the mother
of invention has not lost its force, and
that the threat of total absence of our
natural supply of ice is met by the de-
monstration that modern science will be
able to make the lack good, if the obsti-
nate winter weather persists in its refusal
to put in an appearance where it will do
the most good.
The unique situation which may be de-
veloped is indicated by an offer of con-
Germ in New Orleans or Galveston, where
natural ice in really solid form is an un-
known article. to furnish New York next
year with artificial ice as clear and hard
as the best ice that was ever turned out
by the severest winter on our northern
lakes.
For New Orleans to ship ice to New
York would be greater trade paradox
than the shipment of coal to Newcastle.
Yet the ability to do ii successfully has
been demonstrated; and, in the case of
failure of nature to make ice, the only
reason why it will not be done will be
that it may be cheaper to set up the ap-
pliances and make ice in the north than
to ship the products of the southern fac
tories already established.
That is what has already been an
nounced to be done in this city. It is
interesting to be told, as those who have
investigated the subject affirm, that the
ice produced by artificial process is really
better and colder than that produced by
nature, at least in these latitudes. This
is for the reason that the degree of cold
which is attained in the artificial process
can be made far lower than that of our
winter, and thus the ice be manufac-
tured with a degree Of hardness and So
lidity that leaves the genuine article
entirely in the shade. This conveys the
pleasant assurance that mint claret
punch will not be tepid next summer or
ice tea an unattainable luxury. Pitts

Mono county. Remarkable Cave.

Sam Tyack, the enterprising lessee Of
the syndicate, broke into natural cave
in the mine few days ago, about 200
feet from the surface, and discovered
many things Of interest to the student of
archaeology. The miners were putting
in hole, when the drill suddenly disap-
peared, much to their astonishment. A
couple Of holes of less depth were then
drilled and fired, which made an aper-
ture through which the men entered
chamber, about forty feet square and
quite as high, the sides and roof of
which were chalcedony bulged out in all
sorts Of grotesque and fantastic shapes.
Sammy entered first, and, swinging his
candle around, caught sight of score of
objects that startled him. "Come in,
boysp he exclaimed. "Here's a bloody
anatomical museum"
They crawled in and participated in
Sans astonishment, for which there was
ample cause, as the interior of the cave
flashed with the iridescence of million
colored gems. 1t seems-so Sam says
as if the glittering stars in the armament
had come down to hold high carnival
and flash themselves through lenses of
variegated hues.
Exploring further, they found still
more cause for wonder. Petrifactions
of animals, birds and reptiles abounded.
There were great owls and monstrous
bats, and several snakes as hideous as il
endowed with life, as they were many,
many ages ago before Bodie Bluff was
created, and when the present site of
Mono's metropolis was closely dotted
with the vents of thermal springs, from
the accretions of which millions of dol
lars in bullion have been given to the
commercial world. Mr.. Tyack has re-
moved several of these petrifactions in
perfect form, intending to forward them
to Professor Irelan, chief of state mining
bureau, who will highly appreciate them.
The few who have been permitted to
view this interesting chamber of antiqui-
ties were almost benumbed with aston
ishment.-Home (Cal.) Index.

Imprisonsd for Contsmnt.

An interesting case has been concluded
before the Austrian court of appeal. At
the funeral of the crown prince the mayor
of Horitz, in Bohemia, called together
the town council to pass vote Of con-
dolence with the imperial house. After
having addressed the town councillors,
the mayor asked them to rise as an ex-
preston Of their grief. All rose except
one councillor, who remained seated.
This was regarded as an offense to a
member Of the imperial family, and the
councillor has been punished with two
months imprisonment. - Philadelphia

tion with this drain be such as will prevent
the passage Of the contaminated air Of the
sewer or vault into the house. This is done
IN two ways. First, the fixtures have
trapped or water sealed connection with the
drain. Second, the air in the drain has an
exit above the top of the house. This is done
BY continuing the drain above the roof. This
Is what is known as drain ventilation. All
drains with all fixtures should be ventilated
in this way.
The 'S" trap referred to gets its name
from its form, which is illustrated by the
sketch. The drain water comes down through
the trap from above, into the lower part Of
the bend and then upwards and again down
wards and into the drain. Thus there is
certain amount Of water always in this trap.
This water is called the seal The depth Of
the seal is dependent upon the depth of the
bend in the trap. 1t win be seen that the air
would have to pass through the water to get
into the house.
There are many conditions under which the
trap would fail to act The water may be
sphoned out, may evaporate, or it may be-
come contaminated from long connection
with the air in the drain. The ventilation of
the drain and the ventilation Of the trap re.
duce this risk to a minimum. There are
hundreds of different kinds of traps, but they
are all constructed on the same principle.
They arean largely dependent upon the water
seal for protection to the inside of the house.
Abundant flushing is highly important as a
precautionary measure. Flushing means a
discharge of large quantities Of water through
the traps and drains The frequent use Of
plumbing apparatus contributes to its safety
from sanitary standpoint.
