The Country Editor.
An editor sits in the old office chair,

An editor sits in the old office chair,
There are stains on his clothes, and his long
gray hair
Just strays as it pleases, now here now there,
Or stands like shock in the ambient air
That is pure and refreshing-this is no joke
Save now-and-then column of sky-blue
smoke,
Which curls from pipe as ancient and queer
As he who dreams in the old office chair.
For years he's been there, was the first in the
town
To capture stray news and pencil it down,
He stood at the case in years gone by,
Had more than plenty of office ''pf-
Not mince and good custard such as cooks
bake,
But the kind that poor printers occasionally
make
Determined and earnest his strong arm bare,
He earned that seat in the old office chair.
He is true to his town, kind-hearted and good,
Never dunning patrons who promise him wood
In pay for his paper and a column puff
On such erring creatures he never is rough;
But treats all men with that kindness due
From one in whose breast beats heart that's
true;
And deals with the world good-humored and
square,
Is content with his lot in the old office chair.
His paper tits true g not the best in the land,
But is just in tune with the nervous old hand
The old log school-house is plain to be seen
With its cat-and-clay chimney the lines be-
But loves lying loose from date line to base,
Rejecting the good of the editors face
And his manner of treating all things fair
HonorS the man in the old Office chair.
The desk where he writes is SCARED and
scratched
The legs have been broken and frequently
patched
1t is old and worn like he who sits there
Keeling off copy in the old office chair.
He looks down the years and knows that his
case
Will be taken as "fuIr' by the SavioPs good
grace,
Through days which have passed in sunshine
and storm,
Slowly and surely he's made up his form, -
And ere long we will miss that trio there,
The editor, desk, and old Office chair.

HOW GLACIERS ARE FORMED.
Interesting Facts Regarding the Wonder
full Monsters of Frozen Territory.

When large tract of mountain sur
face is exposed above the snow line,
and when the precipitation exceeds
that which can be removed by melting
or by evaporation, the surplus snow
gradually collects in the valleys and
gorges, and slowly-almost imper-
ceptibly-moves down the slope far be-
low the usual limit. Thus are formed
the well-known "rivers of ice," or
glaciers. The best-known glaciers in
Switzerland, where some four hum
dred, varying in length from five to
fourteen miles, are scattered through
the Alpine valleys. Their width varies
from half mile to one mile, and their
greatest thickness, it is estimated, is
somewhere about one thousand feet.
But these, when compared to some of
our Greenland or Alaska glaciers, be-
come very Insignificant. Muir glacier,
for instance, occupies a tract some
thirty or forty miles wide, from which
nine main steams and seventeen
branches unite to form grand trunk,
5, 200 feet wide and 700 feet deep, into
Glacier bay. The great Humboldt far
outstrips this, being fully 115 miles
Nordenskjold, who penetrated 123 miles
inland, was unable to find its end.
GoEdtlsa0aite's Geographical Magazine
thinks that in all probability it is an
arm of one gigantic field of ice, Gaping
the interior of Greenland, and NOV
ing gradually but ceaselessly toward
the sea.
These monsters, however, are much
| more difficult to study than their
smaller brothers in Switzerland, so we
will leave them and see what there is
to be seen on and about one of the lat
ter Beginning with his bleak, dreary
birthplace, some two or three thousand
feet above the snow line, and follow
ing it to the point where it is trans
formed into muddy torrent, we will
first select some summit having about
that elevation. Here the light. powdery
snow, which is but slightly affected by
| the heat of the sun, is blown hither
and thither by the winds, and finally
deposited in the gulches and ravines.
There it accumulates until, principal
| ly by its own weight,it begins to creep
| down The slope to the valleys below.
| As it gradually approaches the snow
line it is more and more affected by
solar heat, which every day converts
the surface snow into myriads of tiny
rills. These trickle into every possible
crack and Granny and, during the
night, are frozen solid again. Thus,
through succession of freezing and
thawing, the entire mass acquires a
coarse, granular composition, quite
unlike the soft, powdery substance
which it was farther up the slope.
But all this time fresh deposits of
snow are being piled on top. These
naturally tend to compress it, and of
course are in their turn compressed
by still more recent falls. In this man
ner, with the aid of radiation, the
neve, as it is called, passes, by insen-
| sible gradation, into clear, solid ice
the glacier proper. This ends its for
nation.

Advice to Smokers.

It will be interesting to state what
Sir Morell Mackenzie considered the
effects of oversmoking on the throat.
He strongly objected to cigarette "as
being the worst form of indulgence,
from the fact that the very mildness
of its action tempts people to smoke
all day long, and by inhaling the fumes
into their lungs saturate their blood
with the poison. 1t should be borne
in mind that there are two bad quail
tiles contained in the fumes of tobac-
co. One is poisonous nicotine, the
other the high temperature of the
burning tobacco. Most people, how
ever, can smoke in moderation with
out injury; to many tobacco acts as a
nerve sedative, but, on the other hand,
an excessive indulgence in the habit is
always injurious" To any one who
finds total abstinence from tobacco too
heroic a stretch of virtue Sir Morell
Mackenzie said:
"Let him smoke only after a sub
stantial meal. Let him smoke mild
Havana or long-stemmed pipe
charged with some cool-smoking to-
bacco. IF the charms of the cigarette
are irresistible let it be smoked through

him refrain from smoking pipe, cigar
or cigarette to the bitter end, and, il
may be added, rank and oily end. Let

perfect way" added Sir Morell, "re-
frain from inhaling the smoke, and lei
him take it as an axiom that the mar
in whom tobacco increases the flow OF
saliva to any marked degree is not in

Strange GautemaIan Indians.

Speaking of the peculiar customs of
the people of Guatemala" Vice-Consul
Chandler remarked, almost all the
freight is carried on the backs of In
dams with US, the average load being
about two hundred pounds, and a
days journey for one of these natives
thus loaded about twelve leagues or
thirty-six miles. The strange thing
about it is that on the return journey,
if the porter cannot get load to carry
back, he fills his pack or sling with
stones. This is to keep his balance, for,
having become used to forward lean
ing position under this usual load, he
cannot make such rapid progress with
out some burden. furthermore, SO
safe is the country down there that a
bag containing $1,000 in silver can be
sent with absolute security on the
backs of these Indians from one place
to another. Chicago NeaUS.

TEACHING BABY TO WALK.
Leave the Younster Alone and It WHM
Learn Time Enough.

People sometimes ask: At what age
can we seat a child in chair; when
put him on his legs; how. old must he
be before we can teach him to walkP
"The answers are easy" says the Pop
atlar Science Monthly. He must not
be made to sit till he has spontaneous
ly sat up in his bod and has been able
to hold his seat. This sometimes hap
pens in the sixth or seventh month,
sometimes later. The sitting position
is not without danger, even when he
takes it himself; imposed prematurely
upon him, it tires the backbone and
may interfere with the growth: So
the child should never be taught to
stand or walk. That is his affair, not
ours. Place him on a carpet in
healthy room or in the open air and
let him play in freedom, roll, to go
ahead on his hands and feet, or go
backward, which he will do more sue
cessfully at first; it all gradually
strengthens and hardens him. Some
day he will manage to get on his hands
and knees, another day to go forward
upon them and then to raise himself
up against the chairs. He thus learns
to do all he can, as fast as he can, and
no more.
"But, they say, he will be longer in
learning to walk if he is left to go on
his knees or his hands and feet indef-
nitely. What difference does it make
if, exploring the world in this way, he
becomes acquainted with things, learns
to estimate distances, strengthens his
legs and back; prepares himself, in
short, to walk better when he gets to
walkingP The important thing is not
whether he walks now or then, but
that he learns to guide himself, to help
himself, and to have confidence in him.
self l hold, without exaggeration,
that education of the character is go
ing on at the same time with training
locomotion, and that the way one
learns to walk is not without moral

Order of the Annual Friend Ofcers snld
to Have Given Them the Funds.
8osToN, March 22.-A large number OF
certificate holders in the Order Of the
Annual Friend who live in Lowell hav o
brought suit in the Superior Court in
which not only are the officers made de-
fendants but the wives of the latter are
summoned in, it being alleged that they
have received from their husbands large
sums Of money which belong to the GER
tifcate holders.
The case came up yesterday, and coun-
sci for plaintiffs asked that the defend
ants be ordered to file an answer. He
also asked for Judgment by default
against It. r. Whitworth, formerly an
officer of the Order, who has gone either
to France or Mexico. 1t is alleged that
Whitworth, just before going, drew oub
$50, 600 OF the funds of the Order, and
that they disappeared at the same time
that he did.
The court declined to give Judgment
against Whitworth, as no service of the
summons had been made.
