Saved by His Wife's Ready Wit.
ICleyeland Plain Dealer. !

The Rev. DR.. Clinton Locke, the
popular, Episcopal clergyman Of Chi
cago, made bad break the other day,
but was helped out by the quick wit OF
his wife.
On the day in question be saw lady
about to call whom he was anxious not
to meet. So he said to his wife: "Now
I'm of, my dear. I'll run up stairs
and escape till she goes away"
After about an hour he quietly tip
toed to the stair landing and listened.
All was quiet below. Reassured, he
began to descend, and while doing SO
he thoughtlessly but emphatically
called out over the baluster:
"Well, my dear, has that old bone
gone at last?"
The next instant voice from below
caused the perspiration to bedew bis
ministerial brow and rooted him to the
spot. There came response which
sounded inexpressibly sweet to him
lust then. It was the voice of his wife,
who, with true womanly tact, replied:
"Yes, darling, she went away over
an hour ago, but here is our good
friend, Mrs. Blank, whom l am sure

Twice Washington had to provide
for the training and education OF youth.
Having married the widow Gusts, he
adopted her only son, John Gusts,
whom he coNfded to the care of the
Rev. Jonathan Boucher. Nj. Frederick
Locker-Lompson, grandson Of Jona-
than Boucher, possesses a number of
Washington letters to that clergy
man. Washington's letters show his
ideal of 4 cultivated gentleman 1T was
before the Revolution) to he one who
knows some little Greek and Latin
and has & thorough knowledge Of
"Arithmetic. He is very particular
to have the youth taught to dance we'll,
and he must know French perfectly,
ignorance of that language having been
the defect in Washington's own educa-
ton which he felt most deeply through
his entire career, which, caused the
breaking of his cabinet in l793, when
a fictitious translation Of a French de-
spatch I'd to the fall of Randolph, his
Secretary of State. "The study of Ge-
ometry," he writes Boucher, ''and the
Mathematics with due regard to the
limites Of it, is equally advantageous.
The principles of Philosophy, Moral,
Natural, &C., should think very de-
sirable knowledge for Gentleman"
Young Custis was at this time II.
Two years later, as the General was
consi iering to what college he should
be sent, the youth settled the question
by marrying Eleanor Calvert aged 10,
whose proximity to Mr.. Boucher's
house in Annapolis (Maryland( may
explain the clergyman's poor success
in trying to make the GeneraPsadopted
son a scholar. John Gusts died at =
of fcamp fever, caught at Yorktown. Na''
where he was Washington's aide dur
inc the siege of CORVALLIS. He left a
son, George Washington Parker Custis'
fov whom the General hoped to do
what he would fain have done
for the other. At the age of 17sthls
youth was at college in Annapolis, and
it is amusing to observe how anxious
the General had become about the
young ladies of that town. The name
of the teacher to whom the Letter was
addressed does not appear.

Must Be q Joke.

An Albuquerque correspondent sends
this to the Denver News. ga movement
is now being inaugurated at this point by
reason OF which it is believed the proposed
extension of the Denver & Rio Grande
road from Espsnola to Albuquerque will
take tangible shape. A local company is
to be organized at this point to construct
the line, and under existing circum-
stances this is entirely practicable.
The distance is less than seventy miles,
and ten miles of this, including nearly all
the heavy work on the line, is already
graded there are no streams to cross, and
there will be no bridges to build, except
over few arroyos. The expense of max
ing the road bed will be comparatively
very little, and the Denver & Rio Grande
people have offered to furnish the ma.
terials for the track at very low prices and
on easy terms, and to operate the road
when bnilt."

Artificial VS.. Natural Ice.

The results of the scarcity and high price
of ice in the United States during the past
summer are already making themselves
felt; there is never likely to be another ice
famine in the north, and in most OF the
southern towns to which ice has formerly
been shipped from distance; there will
be next year but limited demand for the
natural article Scarcely village of any
importance in this country will be with
out its ice making plant by the time the
hot weather begins again, and in nearly
all the large cities there will be several
establishments at work turning out arti-
fetal ice at price far below the cost of
the natural product even iii years of plen-
ty, and in far better quality.
Not for economical reasons, however,
but on sanitary grounds is the employ
ment of natural ice likely to be restricted.
There are comparatively few sources from
which reasonably pure article can be
obtained, and it is a known fact that the
greater portion of the ice supplied for con-
sumption, in large cities especially, is
badly contaminated with all manner of
impurities.
1t was formerly supposed that the pro-
cess of freezing neutralzed these impuri-
ties, but experiments carefully undertaken
by the state board of health OF Massachu.
sets proved that this was not true, and
chat while considerable portion of i'm
purlties of water are excluded or disap
pear in the process of freezing, it's equal.
iy true that some of the more dangerous
impurities may survive the ordinary pro.
cess of freezing and reappear in the melt,
ed lce."
One of the principal advantages of artif
cial ice is that,impure.water can not be en-
ployed in it's production, the process Of
congelation, proceeding from the exterior
toward the center, causing the impurities
to gather there and rendering the cakes
in which they are present useless. 1t has
been consequently found necessary to
thoroughly purify ali water used for this
purpose, if not by distillation, by the most
thorough system of liberation. Here is
another point in favor of the artificia l pro-
duct that will have due weight in pro-
noting its introduction.
No matter how cheap or how plentiful
natural ice may be, there is small pros
pect of it's being ever again recognized
as an absolute necessity as heretofore, and
the manufacture of the artificial article is
reasonable certain to be widely adopted.
In many sections, indeed, the health
authorities have come out strongly in favor
of the artificial article, the price at which
it is supplied being likewise mi favor, sc
that the pond ice, overloaded with filth,
impurities and germs of disease, on which
we have hitherto relied for refrigeratine
purposes, is likely to be relegated in the
future to such uses as will preclude the
possibility of it's proving injurious. -Sani-
tary Plumber.
