The Ice-Cap Of Greenland.

The aspect of these boundless wastes
rolling away in scarcely p%erceptible
undulations. and in the distance ming
ling the grey of their SHOWS with the
grey of the skies, at first gave the i'm
preston that Greenland was a uniform
plateau, a sort of horizontal table.
The belief now prevails that the rocky
surface of the land is, on the contrary,
carved into mountains and hills. val
leys and gorges, but that the plastic
SHOWS and ice have gradually filled up
all the cavities. which now show ouiy
in sight s%inuosities on the surface.
Allowing to the whole mass of the ice
cap an average thickness of 500 feet, it
would represent q total volume of
about $50, 900 cubic miles. This sermer
suak, Or great ice of the G%reenlanders,
flows like asphalt or tar with extreme
slowness seward, while the surface is
gradually leveled by the snow falling
during the course of ages and distrib-
uted by the winds. In the interior of
the country the surface of the ice and
snow is as smooth ns if it were poll
ished, looking like 1.-The undisturbed
surface of n frozen ocean, the long but
not high pillows of which rolling from
east to west are not easily distinguish
able to the eye" Nevertheless, the
exterior form on the ice-cap has been
greatly diversified, at least on its outer
edge, where in many places it is diff
cult to cross, or ever quite impossible.
The action of lateral pressure, Of heat
produced by the tremendous friction,
of evaporation and liberation. has
often broke the surface into innumer-
able cones u few yards high, in form
and color resembling the tents of an
encanlpment.

A Genuine Dog Story.

The following dog story is absolutely
true, the occurrence having come under
the observation of the physician at Old
upon honor: An intelligent dog was
afflicted Ivy fleas. They clouded his
existence. if we may believe appear
ances. since four-tifths of the time the
intelligent dog was tied up in a double
bow Knot fighting the smaller and less
intelligent but more nimble flea. He
had chewed the hair from his sides,
and his eye was lack-luster. The
NANCY canine decided to. take a bath
in the waters of the ocean, and in do
ing so discovered that as the sea water
heightened upon his legs and sides and
back the tieas fled before it as ever the
wicked flee.
Soon after the dog was seen backing
out into water, a smile growing e
his countenance as an idea took pos
session of him. He was next seen with
q huge wad of cotton in his mouth.
With this lifted aloft he backed out.
The fieas crawled higher as the sea
water rose about him. They occupied
his back and then his head, made un-
comfortable as they were by the salt
water. Then at last. as the dogs
head sank very slowly beneath the
waves. the multitude vacated it, jump
ing to the wad of cotton that was
floating just at the dogs nose. The
fieas tloatcd away forever on the tickle
wad of cotton, while the dog swan
ashore, to be forever embalmed in his
tory by the story of the doctor and the
lawyer and the newspaper.

GOOD Farminr Paxa.

This has been a trying season in
many ways, yet to the man who farmed
up to the possibilities Of his land, 1t has
been a very profitable mt There has
perhaps been no crop that has felt the
bad features of the season more than
the potato crop. Yet, whore cultivated
in the best and most rational way, po-
tatoes have done we'll.
AS illustrating this some instances
may be given.
Mr.. James Lee, Of Danbury, Ia, re-
ports thirteen acres of potatoes. He
began digging and selling as soon as
his crop was ripe. From the first i've
acres dug he sold LOO bushels at IS
cents per bushel, or $685.. The other
eight acres are as good, and at the
price for which he can now sell them
will bring him $1.75o, making a total OF
$2,6S5 for the crop from thirteen acres
of potatoes.
Mr.. VIM Schrader. Of the same place,
had three acres which he sold without
digging for $240, he only being out the
cost OF seed, planting, cultivation and
rent of land.
Mr.. w. II. Shwartz, of Carroll, Neb..
farmed forty acres, putting part in corn
and part in potatoes. He has sold ST.. 900
worth of potatoes, and has At a low esti-
mate 5000 worth of corr on hand.
Now how did it come that while 80
many and all around these men were
failing to have a crop of potatoes, they
had crops that would buy the land on
which they were grown, pay all ex-
penses of raising the crop and still leave
money in the pockets of the farmers?
Only this. they did better farming than
their neighbors. Is there not a lesson
in this?

About I fortnieft basors. beinr Is tou

About s fortnight baSore, being In town. I
had spent the evening with the doctor, He
was not alone, and / was introduced TO O tall
pale young maj NAMED Carriston. He wasa
much in my line. At first ] judged him Ito be
a would-be poet of the fashionable miserable
school; but finding that he and Brand talked
so much about art / eventually decided that
he was one Of the doctors many artist friends.
Art is q hobby he hacks about on grandiy.
tMein. BRANDS W attempts at pictures are
simply atr0ciOusD
Just before l left, Carriston, the doctors
back being turned, asked me TO step into an
other room. There he showed me the por-
drawn, and I presumed he wanted me to
criticise 1t.
II am a precious bad judge said.
II am not asking you to pass an opinion"
said CarTiston. II want to beg a favor of
you. / am almost ashamed to beg it IN so
short an acquaintance"
He seemed modest, and not III want of
money, SO / encouraged him to proceed.
II heard you say you were going into the
country, lie resumed. II want to ask you
If by any chance you should meet the origi-
nal n. 81 that craving, to telegraph at once to
whereabouts does he liveP"
II have no idea. 1t chance throws him in

man made the request in solemn earnest.
lie thanked me, and then gave me a small
photograph of the picture. This photograph
ne begged me to keep in my pocket-book, so
that might refer to it in case / met the man
he wanted. i put it there, went my way,
ana, am sorry to say forgot all about 1t. Had
u not been for the strange cigar in my case
bringing back Carriston's unusual request to
ny mind, the probabilities are that | should
:.lot have thought again of the matter. Now,
bl,y a remarkable coincidence, ! was spending
the night with the very man who, so far as
portrait shown me at Brands house.
u wonder what l did with the photo" l
said. /! turned out my letter-case. There it
was, right enough! Shading it with one
hand, l carefully compared it with the sleep
n.
Not a doubt about it! So far as a photo
graph taken from a picture can go. it was the
same coarse features, the same surly look.
Young Carrfston was evidently a wonderful
hand at knocking off a likeness. Moreover,
in case had felt any doubt in the matter, q
printed note at the bottom of the photograph
said that one joint was missing from a right
hand finger. Sure enough, my friend lacked
that small portion of his misbegotten frame.
This discovery threw me into an ecstasy of
delight. l laughed SO loudly that almost
awoke the rutlian. l guessed was going to
take a glorious revenge for all the discomforts
| had suffered. No one, l felt sure, could be
looking for such a fellow as this to do any
good to him. l was quite happy in the
thought, and for the remainder Of to night
gloated over the idea of putting a spoke in
the wheel of one who had been within an lace
OF causing my death. l resolved, the mo-
ment | got back to civilization, to send the
desired intelligence to Brand, and hope for
the best.

two cupfuls b~lackberries or raspberries.
Bake slowly for one hour in a buttered
pudding dish.
RICE SNowBALLs-Boil one pint of
AASo uieil uoHe sou, pun III small cups,
and when perfectly cold place on a dish,
make a boiled custard of one pint of
milk. three eggs, half cup of sugar.. one
~teaspoonful of corn starch, flavor with
either lemon or vanilla. When cold

RICE WITH ToMAToEs-Take large,
sound, ripe tomatoes, cut a piece off the
top about an inch in circumference and
with a small spoon take ont the seeds
and water leaving in the pulp. Mean
time have a pint of rice cooking in q
