ware river and there are fears among
navigators that the vast quantity of ice
piled up in the upper part may suddenly
break up and be carried down with the
strong tide, causing much damage
This fear is based on the fact that
during the ebb tide yesterday large
masses of ice came down the river. evi
dencing that the change in the weather
has had its effect ON the ice gorge and.
although it shows no sign OF a sudden
break, many large cakes have become
disengaged from the compact mass and
hoated down
AS far as the eye could see yesterday
the river was choked with masses of
floating ice, which rendered navigation
very difficult and dangerous Around
the wharves the ice collected in solid
masses, and at some of the piers minia.

The Reading railroad steamers Harris

which have been here nearly two weeks,
unable to proceed on account Of the ice,
cleared last evening. They are loaded
with coal for Boston and NewburypOrt.
They went down under convoy of the

tramp steamship Elton, bound ont from
Philadelphia to Newport News in ballast,

College catalogues in the United
States indicate in an interesting man
ner the persistence Of families in a
country where neither law nor custom
tends to preserve social distinctions
Nearly every such catalogue contains
historic names. This is especially true,
perhaps, of the south, where side by
side with the names of those whose
parents immigrated to the country one
or two generations ago r those Of
lads whose ancestors were distin-
guished in revolutionary and pre-rev-
dictionary times. Even in the west
old New England James crop out in
the college catalogues, and in the
southwest family names, long distin-
guished on the South Atlantic coast,
appear on collegiate rosters. Perhaps
there is no place where a mere name
counts for less than in an American
college. Even the odd conservatism of
village society on the Atlantic coast Is
seldom proof against the lad who has
made his mark in a local college.

The Art Gf Eating.

~When my children get to the
proper age" said the man who was
smoking a briar pipe, Il intend to
have them taken in hand by some
competent person and given thor
ough instruction in the art of eating,
and, further, In the science of finding
out what to eat and ordering"
What do you means" inquired the
man who sat next to him.
Il mean this: The average Ameri-
can citizen is woefully deficient in
knowledge of what he can get to eat.
He falls down when 1t comes to Or
dering a dinner. The great majority
of people in this country are brought
up frugally at home, and do not know
anything but the cOmmOnest dishes.
The consequence is that when a man
goes into a restaurant for dinner, or
to hotel, he gazes helpleSsly at the
bill Of fare and sees many things OF
which he does not know the cOmpo-
nent parts. He dares not order any
thing that he is not sure of, for fear
of ridicule. and he falls back ON roast
beef and mashed potatoes. The fact
is, he doesn't know anything but
roast beef. Same way in a restaurant.
When waiter shoves a bill of fare
under mans nose, nine times out of
ten he will look it over and then say:
Gimme a steak and scme fried pOta-
toes Now, the man who does this,
and nearly every one of US does do it
day after day, doesl'o want roast
beef. He is sick unto death of steaks
and fried potatoes. He loathes ham
and eggs, and yet he keeps on order
ing them in dreary and dyspeptic sue
ces>ion, because he doesn't know any
better, and he is too proud to confess
his ignorance. It's that way with
me, and I'll bet it's that way with
most of you. am going to relieve
my children of all these things.
They're going to know what's what
when it comes TO eating. NO roast
beef domination!' shall be my house
hold slogan"
And the rest Of the PARTY, says the
Buffalo Express, thought it over and
concluded that he was pretty nearly
right.

The BOxyery OF New York.

The Bowery Of New York was Pc
ter Stuyvesant's bowery in 1864.
There he had his house and bis stiff
Dutch garden. An old pear tree
which he planted was cherished and
protected by his descendants until a
storm blew T. down in 1867. The
place contained six hundred acres.
1t was in 1864 that an English fleet
appeared in New York harbOr and
demanded the surrender of the city.
The townspeople and the burgomasters
were eager to submit and avoid b0m-
bardment. Old Peter Stuyvesant re-
fused to give up The city, and tore
into fragments the letter which had
been sent by the English commander.
The old Dutchman then went to the
fort and took his place behind the
guns, ready to resist to the death.
His more prudent counsellors gath.
cred up the fragments Of the letter,
placed them together, read the letter
to the people, and agreed with the
terms Of the surrender, which Stuy-
vesant was finally forced to ratify.

"A mans got a right, 1 b'leve, to

"Well, yes-that's the law. Sit down

The old man took Oft his mittens, un-
buttoned his great-coat; turned his
chair sidewise to the stove, sat down
on the edge of it, removed his hat and
took from it thin package of papers
which he handed to the attorney.

with smile.
