HARRISON MAY LECTURE ON LAW.

1t Is Thought a $4,000 Chair in the Chi
cage University VIII Be Offered Him.
Considerable correspondence has been
going on between President Harper. of the
Chicago University, ant John D. Rookie
Teller concerning the best methods of
promoting the growth OF the university
1t has been suggested that President Har-
rison. while not willing to give up his home
at indianapolis and spend most OF his time
in California as professor and lecturer
for the Stanford University, might still be
willing to TEXTURE to the students of the
Chicago University. provided he could live
at indianapolis the greater part OF the
time From q hint dropped by the mil
lionaire to one of his friends, it is believed
that chair of constitutional law will be
endowed in connection with the Chicago
University, the salary to be $4,000 per
year, and that President Harrison will be
invited TO accept this position and lecture
at least twice a week to the students of
the Chicago educational institution.

PRACTICAL operation.
The Spring Wheat Millers' Association is
now in operation. 1t has at presents mem
bership of several hundred millers repre-
sentng a daily OUTPUT of flour reaching
into the hundreds Of thousands of barrels.
The States covered are Minnesota, North
Dakota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Northern
Illinois, and the spring wheat mills
Of New York State at Buffalo,
Rochester, and Niagara Falls. The
conception of a combine dates from
the organization OF the Southern Minnesota
Millers' Association three or four years
ago. The principal object Of that Associa-
ton was to fix the minimum price at which
-four should be sold. The headquarters of
the Association are in the Corn Exchange
Building, Minneapolis Should the sprin 2
wheat dealers combine prove success
there is but little doubt that the winter
wheat dealers. who constitute an equally
powerful branch OF milling, would organize

USED A CURLING IRON.
Delicate Surgical Operation Performed on

Delicate Surgical Operation Performed on
 a Suffering Woman
 A few days ago a party of Utica la dies went to the St Lawrence for ten days stay. One night recently two gentlemen relatives hied themselves away to the river 10 stay over Satur- day and Sunday. Saturday afternoon the gentlemen went fishing, and their success was abundant. for they car ried back to the little cottage dozens of excellent fish In the morning the breakfast was made very inviting by the serving ID of a fine mess of the 6sh caught the night before
 According tO the Utica Herald. one of the young ladies in the party had the misfortune, while eating her break fast, to get a small fish bone in her throat It did not strangle her, but gave her considerable discomfort. and every effort to dislOdge 1t failed Fears were entertained that unless the bone was taken out it would cause infiam- nation, and so the sufferer was taken in a rOvboat and a visit made to a neighbOring island in search of assist ance. The bone could be seen just back of the tOnsils, but how to get at it was the question In the search for aid dentist was found, but he had no instruments with which to perform the operation. At length, as trial, visit was made to rather pretentious cot tage on one of the islands where some wealthy people were staying, and though they searched they could find nothing among their household uten- sils that could be used for the purpose of fishing for the bone.
 ''Why wouldn't a curling iron dO?" suddenly asked one of the young ladies, with a flash of inspiration in her eyes.
 ''Why not, indeed?'' was in the mind of everybody. And then the wonder was why this had not been thought of before.
 4 curling iron was procured, and though little nervousness was eXhib- ited on the part of the operator-the sufferers brother-he soon succeeded in catching the bone between the jaws of the instrument and drawing it out.
 Then everybody laughed and all were happy.

A VIRGINIA HARVEL.
Great Natural Iceh0use on Stone Noun
 tain. in Scott County.

Great Natural IcehOuse on Stone Noun
 tain in Scott County
 In the north side of Stone mountain, six miles from the mouth of Stony creek, in Scott county, Va, has been discovered a natural icehOUse on a grand scale One of the old settlers first discovered it about 1880, but owing to the fact that the land on which it is situated could not be bought he refused to tell it's whereabouts and would only take ice from it in case of sickness.
 He died, says the St. Louis Republic, without revealing the secret to even his own family, and but for party of ''seng'' diggers entering the region it might have remained a secret for gen eratiOns, as it is situated on an unfre- quented part of the mountain.
 The ice was only protected from the rays of the sun by a thick growth of moss resembling a texture, and like the moss that can be seen dangling from the oaks of Louisiana and Texas Its formation was after the fashion of a coal vein, being a few inches thick Tn some places, while several feet ID others. The formation indicates that it had been spread over the surface in a liquid state and then cOngealed. By what process it freezes or was frozen is matter of conjecture at this stage of investigation. Some think that it was formed in the winter, and had been protected since by the dense growth of moss which covers it, while the more plausible theory is that be- heath the bed is situated a great natural laboratory whose function is formation of ether, and the process of freezing goes steadily on through the heat as we'll as the cold. The growth of moss resembles the hanging moss around Hudson bay and indicates a frigid temperature. The bed covers one acre and if it proves inexhaustible it will be valuable, since it is located near the Three Cs railroad.

 The popularity of the theatrical roof garden suggests the application of the idea in other directions. Already the Bowery branch of the Young Mems Christian association has fitted ID the roof of it's building with tables, chairs, innocent games and opportunities for smoking. chatand other harmless reere- ations. The experiment has proved So attractive that the usefulness and in fuence of the association promise to be enlarged by it. It is well known that the inhabitants of the crowded tenements on the East side and else where have instinctively sought the roofs of those buildings in the even ing, until the practice has become an established feature of family life in tenements. and exciteS no comments
 Why should not all the inhabitants of New York recognize that during three months of the year they live in climate Of tropical temperature? It would be quite practicable for the own CTS of great apartment houses, and of the smaller fiat buildings as well, to build protective and ornamental para pets about their roofs and to arrange them as common resort for their ten ants. Many of these roofs command view that at night embraces the glare of Liberty's torch, the sparkling arch of the Brooklyn bridge and the frehy fringe of Jersey City Heights and the Palisades The air from ocean and river sweeps over them, and with trifing expenditure for light and com fort many acres of elevated space might thus be made safe and available for thousands of families
 Such a plan, too. would promote the element of neighbOrly acquaintance which is so eOnspieuously absent in all great cities The idea might even be extended 10 many private houses. In tropical cities the roof is the usual evening resort of the dwellers in every house The theaters and the tene- ments have both pointed the way to a practical addition to the health and comfort of town life in summer.
