Ice-Breakfng with Dynamite.

There have been divided opinions
about the expediency of using dyna-
mite for ice-breaking, and it has
never been used for this purpose to
any extent. Practical experiments
last winter at the Hango Harbor, in
Finland, seem, however, to have
given very satisfactory results. The
powerful ice-breaker Of the port was
helpless IN the face of a belt uf some
200 feet Of very thick ice. the thick
ness OF which was measured to he as
much as Is feet 1t would seem es-
sential for successful ce-breaking
with dynamite that there should
be sufficient room to dispose Of the
broken ice. for if this is allowed to
remain broken in the channel it will
still interfere with the progress of
steamers. The cost of the dynamite
ice-breaking at Hango amounted to
about $50. London Engineering.

In the. Andes.

A traveller in the heart of the
Andes tells, in Tropical America, "
how he relieved his feelings when,
having assembled the Paramillos, he
found himself at the summit, nine
thousand feet above the sea level.
The scenery had increased in
grandeur every hour since daybreak,
and now two magnificent spectacles
were to be enjoyed. The first was a
broad view of the Cuyo Valley, south
ward and eastward, with Mendoza,
its shaded streets. its plazas, and
suburban farms and vineyards directly
below us and so near that with glass,
streets and houses could be idenUi.
fed.
The second was an inspiring
glimpse of the main Andean chain,
now suddenly towering thousands of
feet above US in the west. Tupun-
cato, in solemn majesty, looked down
upon us from the clouds
Then with sharp turn in the
bridle-path hundred snow -clads were
revealed at once. 1t was spectacle
to fire the blood. I had no COM
panion in sympathy with my enthu-
siasm. but the Chilean guide at least
had ears to hear compliments show
cred upon his native mountains.
Leaping from the mule, I shouted:
"Magnifico. magniflco."
Then feeling the inadequacy of the
unfamiliar Spanish tongue for ex-
pressing genuine Yankee feeling, I
added:
"Hail Columbia! Glory Hellelu-
jah!"
A flush of patriotic pride illumin-
ated the Chilean's face, and be re-
peated, "Magniflco!"
There we stood in rapture, gazing
at the Andean kings with their
snowy ermine falling from their
stately shoulders

sent Mr.. Barnum an invitation to

The Cab net happened to be there,
and the President introduced the
little mariner to them.
After a little joking Mr.. Lincoln
bent down his long, lank body, and
taking Mutt by the hand, said:
Commodore, permit nae to give
you a parting word of advice. When
you are in command Of your feet, if
you find yourself in danger of being

Grandson of Uncle Sam.

The following pretty little incl
dent was told to a New York Re-
corder writer not long ago by a naval
officer:
The 6-year-old grandson of one of
our admirals, whose daughter had
married general in the Russian
army, was attending one of the mil
itary schools near ST. Petersburg.
The Gar on his annual visit of in
spectivn OF the school was taken into
the hospital. where the boy lay suffer
ing from severe sore throat. Motto
ing the bright, attentive face his
majesty approached the bedside, and
placing his hand in kindly way on
the boys feeverish forehead, turned
and inquired of his escort who he
was:
1.-The son of Gen. R., your maj
esty."
The boy raised himself on his ell
DOW with some effort, and said eagerly
in the Russian tongue:
"Yes. your majesty, but my grand
father is an officer in the United
States navy"
So pleased was the Car with the
boys reply he gave orders to have the
lad transferred as soon as he could be
moved to the royal military school,
where he is now receiving the best
education possible at his majesty's
personal expense.

THE DAYS OF OLD.

. days Of old, forever past, what is the charm
you hold
Which turns your sorrow into joy, your silver
into gold?
Ofttimes your sky was overcast, fierce storms
swept DER your way.
But with pang of keen regret We think Of you
to-day.
All me it was the promise of young life's morn
ing hours,
The glamour Of Hopes magic spell which paved
the wav with flowers:
She showed us all the bliss of earth-it seemed
within our grasp
Alas it turned to worthless dross when held
with eager clasp.
Lies path has wider, smoother grown, the
winds are soft and sweet
Which gently touch the fading cheek, as day
and twilight meet.
But oh, to know one hour again when all that
life give
Seemed waiting for our hand to take, and it
was joy to live

Supporting the Government.

Now that the Civil War is long
way in the past, it is safe to relate
certain cases Of the cutting of red
tape which at the time were winked
at, and kept as quiet as possible.
Military routine often left men with
out what civilians would regard as
the commonest necessities fife; and
to endure these deprivations when
they were unnecessary was hard any
where, and especially so at Washing
ton, where supplies were abundant
enough.
One day in the summer Of 1851 q

Washington The rations were poor,
and two soldiers. privates, resolved to
see if they could not get something
better.

to evade the guardians of the ex-
ecutive mansion. In one Of the pas
sages they met very tall man. They
had no doubt it was President Lin
coin; they bowed to him, and he bowed
to them, but they said nothing. Their
business was not with him, but with
his cook.
They went on. and found their way
to the broad kitchen. The cook was
there at work.
'Look here" the Maine men said
to him. We've sworn to support
this ere Government, and fer two
weeks we've ben a-doin' it on nothin'

Crossings at Grade.

1.-THE grade crossing must GO" is
what the Chicago papers print In
italics Recently one of these papers
published the names of the people
run down and killed by steam cars at
crossings within the city. These
were accidents entirely distinct from
those which occur on the cable and
horse car roads The list filed three
columns. 1t showed that within
Chicago's limits during the past
eighteen months a life a day has been
ground out by the steam cars at the
street crossing. The thought is ap-
palling. Most frequently it is the
pedestrian taken unawares. Some
times it is the vehicle that is caught.
Every month or so, through some
mistake in signals, a street car is
crushed, land the dead and injured

Some Famous "Rocking Stones"

Some Famous Rocking Stones"
During the years 1SS9-9O, Prof.
Henry Beals, of the British Royal
Society, was in the United States
making special search for rocking
stones" or balanced powders. But
few Of these geological wonders are
known to exist, their scarcity, as
well as the curious manner in which
they have been left poised upon
mountain tops and other eminences,
makes them objects of uncommon in
terest. The professors visit to this
country was made mainly to prove
that these curiously balanced stones,
in man instances weighing hundreds
of tons, were carried on floating ice
bergs during the epoch known as the
'glacial PERIOD" and that the subse-
Quent melting of these immense ice
fields left the stones in the positions
in which they are now found.
There are two fine examples of
'rockiIg stones" in New England.
one at Noank, Conn, on the farm of
Caleb Haley, and the other at Lanes
bOro. Mass The former is estimated
to weigh twenty-five tons, and os-
cillates 20 the extent of about six
inches, and is SO evenly balanced as
to be easily moved from side to side
by the muscular exertions of one arm
and hand.
The one at Lanesboro is described
as being the largest specimen of the
cratic bowIder in existence in this or
any other country. 1t is forty-tive
feet high and seventy feet long and
is estimated to weigh not less than
10, 900 tons. -Philadelphia Press

When the young pioneer dropped
quietly over the stern of the canoe
into the river he had one settled OBJ
ject in yiew-to cripple or destroy
the pursuing boat at any cost. Be-
ing perfectly at home in the water he
did not doubt his ability to accom-
plish his purpose. The one thing he
feared was that the Indians might
change their course and thus frus-
trate his design.
Fortunately this catastrophe did
not occur; the Hurons. urged on by
the villainous Frenchman, bore down
directly upon him. Completely occu-
pied in watching the canoe ahead,
they saw nothing Of the face that
noiselessly rose and sank directly in
their path, and rode straight over it.
The first intimation they had of
Volance's presence was hand
raised above one side of the canoe
clutching a large knife. This was
the supreme moment to the daring
young pioneer. With all the nervous
strength of his being he bore down
on the bark gunwale. The tense
f1bres parted before the keen blade,
and in a moment, cut nearly to the
keel the;frail craft collapsed
Instantly Wade sank beneath the
water and struck out, not in the di-
rection of the shore, but, as near as
he could judge, toward the middle of
the stream. His knife was broken
short off, and he had no desire to en-
ter into hand-to-hand conflict with
such overwhelming numbers; which
would undoubtedly occur if he reached
the bank.
Rising to the surface at a consid-
cradle distance from the capsized
boat, but he took another breath
and sank again, repeating the ma
nguvre until well out Of the danger
Gus vicinity. TIL N he struck out
boldly for the opposite shore. He
swan bravely for a time but at
length, completely exhausted, was
about to give up the struggle when
bis hand struck something solid; it
proved to be the limb of a floating
tree. Drawing himself upon this
welcome support. he lay and waited.
The moon rose higher and higher,
the dense shadows. The
same absolute silence held sway.
There was no sign of friend or enemy.
An hour passed; then sound at no
great distance caught his attention.
AS he listed it grew nearer. Was it
friend or foe?
Suddenly canoe came out into
patch of moonlight, and he recog-
nized Leota and her father.
'Amo5." he softly called.
The sound of their paddles ceased
almost Instantly.
"Who spoke?" came back in a eau
tious voice.
"Volance-I am here"
There was a suppressed eXclama-
ton, and then the canoe was headed
toward him. A few moments later
the three were once mere together.
Without any other notable adven
ture they were enabled to carry out
their first project. Upon reaching the
settlement the young couple were
united, but not before an Indian
runDer had brought the intelligence
that Jacques lie Siebert had met his
death by drowning in the waters of
the Ohio.-Waverly Magazine.

CREATING a cHINAMAN.
How One western Landlord Was Cures -
the Practice.

Hov One Western Landlord Was Cures ~
the Practice.
Justice in the Far West sometimes
takes new and startling shapes. Jem
Blank, a ranchman, who died last
summer leaving large amount OF
money to found a hospital in one or
the cities on Puget Sound, was ac-
customed, it is said, when he saw
scoundrel going unwhipped of Justice
promptly to constitute himself jury,
judge, and executioner.
One day Jem, with friend, was in
the office. OF a hotel in Portland.
Oregon, where they had been board
ing for several weeks The landlord
was reckoning with Chinese cook,
who was leaving his service TO return
home.
Twenty weeks at $40 week
makes $500, ehs That's so. / owe
you that"
'.All light.n said the smiling Hop
Lee, holding out his hand.
''But stop a little. / have q bill
against you, Hop The day you were
late with the breakfast-that's SIS
agen you. The evening Judge Smith
said the chops were burned makes SO
more; the times you didn't make grid
die cakes when I wanted them, So
each," and SO on, while the old China
man, his face gray and his mouth
open, stood in dumb despair before
him.
81 owe vou1 said the landlord,
chuckling, exactly 80. There they
are. Good-by, Hop"
There seemed to be no peaceful
method Of redress for poor Hop. He
skunk out of sight, having no friend
to advise him.
"A little later in the day Jem and
his partner announced that they were
going back to their ranch, and called
upon the landlord for their bill. It
was handed them Jem glanced over
it
''One hundred dollars each? Cor
rect I believe. But we have little
bill agen you, Bob. There was the
night we couldn't sleep for the hand
organ in the bar. We want $40 each
for the loss of that sleep. There's
the rancid butter; five a week apiece
for not pitchin' it out of the window.
Let me see that is not all; there's the
wear on our teeth because Of your
tough beef Yes, that makes twenty
five more. Then it was worth SIS
each for listenin' to your old jokes,
and it's lettin' you off cheap" etc.
By this process Jem brought the
landlord $40 in their debt, but laugh
ingly offered to come the next win
ter and board it out.
Bob also laughed. but protested,
and at last grew very angry. Jem
looked at him quietly, then counted
out the money. '.Find Hop" he said,
coolly, handing the amount to mis-
friend. ''Giye this to MIN, that he
may know there is such a thing as an
honest American. I'll settle with
this man"
The manner of his settling ''with
this man" is fayorite tale in the
town to this day. 1t is certain, how
ever, that the landlord was reformed
by Jem's rude justice. He was never
known to cheat Chinaman again. -
