DENVER, Feb. Z. The efforts OF the
Northwestern TO secure the right OF way

they pooled with the Northwestern they
could abandon the main line and let the

"I was born on farm in Indiana, and until was 18 my father gave me regu- lar tasks to do, which had to be com pleted before any pleasures were in- dulged in. There was large family of children, and every one had his or her regular tasks, as my father, who was judge of the circuit court, was absent much of the time. There was to be 8 neighborhood dance one evening, and had worked very hard that I might join party who were to stop for me. was putting the finishing touches on my toi let when the wagon filled with boys and girls drove up.

ANCHOR ICE.

A Strange Formation of Ice Crystals at the
 Bottom of Harbors.
 The "anchor ice" by which the steam CT City of Boston was imprisoned in the Thames river at Norwich, is one of the strangest of wintry phenomena. Itgoes by various names. West of New Eng land 1t is known as "slush ice," and abroad it is called ground ice" ""bottom ice" and "loppered ice" It is not formed upon the surface of water, but collects on the beds of streams. This is the most remarkable thing about it. Many theo- ries have been advanced to account for its formation. One scientist claimed that it was the result of radiation of heat from the river bed, and that it was de- posted on the same principle as dew. Another stoutly maintained that it was produced by little spicule of hoar frost falling from the atmosphere into the water.
 The most acceptable hypothesis, how ever, is that the whole body of water in which it is found is thoroughly chilled by mechanical action of the currents of the stream, and that the anchor ice then naturally forms on the stones and other rough bodies at the bottom. After this general cooling of the water to @ temperature in the neighborhood of 82 degrees Fahr., the anchor ice will speed fly coat pole, for example, that is low cred into the stream. The nucleus hay ing once been formed, the small masses of ice that cling by adhesion to the asper- ities of the river bed grow in size and at length attain sufficient buoyanoy to loosen their fastenings and rise to the surface. In doing this they frequently teaf up small stones and clumps of gravel
 The anchor ice is clearly crystalline in structure, and in the water resembles 8 kind of fungus or vegetable growth. At times stream will be seen full of little masses of anchor ice floating along near or at the surface. Its consistency is often very slight, so that if an attempt is made to grasp it in the hand 1t readily melts and disappears. It Is confined mainly to swiftly running streams hay. ing gravelly or stony beds, and 1t is 6 feature of the winter that proves trouble some chiefly to mill owners.
 It collects on the head gates of the canals and on the racks at the entrance of fumes, and if 1t is allowed to pass into wheel pit is liable to stop the wheel, a. it effectually stopped the paddles of the steamer City of Boston in the Thames Boston Herald.

Life In Suburban Towns.

A French woman recently wrote to a Paris litterateur asking for remedy for the "one-day -ike-another complaint" !" Il live" she says, ''in dull provincial town, where there is not woman who can read or talk; if I read, have no one to discuss the book with, and I have ar. rived at the desperate point of despair where would like to bite some one."
 The itterateur, according to the ac- count, did not much help her, as he merely, in reply, admitted the fact in a quotation from De Musset, which was in effect that there is no more common trouble in life than the trouble of a com mon soul.
 Perhaps the only echo of the French woman's vail could be found over here in the suburban towns of large city.
 The smallest detached villages and towns of America seem to have occu- patton and excitement of one sort or an- other that make life endurable. Those. however, which are merely the overflow of metropolitan center are often the loneliest places on earth.
 "Ihave almost died with the monotony of my life" said 8 woman living in a small Jersey suburb recently, "until now, when I can get into New York oftener, because my children are out of the nursery. There is absolutely no neighborhood life, everybody looking to town for social recreation; there is only half hearted interest in church affairs; it is as different from an independent village as possible. ."-New York Times.

A woman,s Gift.

Another princely gift has been made to the Teachers college, to which MT. G. W. Vanderbilt presented the building lots near the site of the Columbia col lege. The gift is from a woman living outside the city, and her only condition is that her name shall be kept secret. Two hundred thousand dollars have been subscribed by the unknown donor for a building to be known as the Department of Mechanic Arts.
 The main building for the college will cost $350, ,000, and of this amount $150. 900 has been collected, $55, ,000 having been subscribed on condition that the remaining amount shall be collected. This the trustees are confident of doing within the year. An important phase of the work in the Teachers college will be the alliance already provided with Columbia college. New York Sun.

 MRS. JUSTIN MORSE.
 After months of suffering, borne with great patience and Christian resignation, Mrs Luna Morse. wife of Justin Morse, died at her home, July 3. MT and Mrs Morse came to th1s place from Green Co.,, N. Y., about 15 years ago and du- ring that time have greatly endeared themselves to the whole community. Mrs Morse was an exemplary woman, always foremost in all good works. The home and church have lost one whose place 1t will be hard to fill. The funer al was attended from the church, so dear to her, Wednesday, July 5, her pastor Rev O. w. Hanna, officiating and preaching most fitting sermon Her Sunday school class was present in a body thus testifying their affection for the teacher always at the head of her class, until obliged by failing health to relinquish the work so dear to her. Loving hands placed many beautiful floral offerings on and around the cas- ket. The remains were laid to rest in Sand Hill cemetery and followed there by a long line of sorrowing friends. The husband and son and family with whom MT and Mrs Morse resided have the sympathy of all in this dark hour. Mrs Morse leaves one son, HIP. Morse of this place, one daugh- ter, Mrs Andrus, wife of missionary to Turkey who died in that country some years since. .

English Military Punishments.

Our old English military punishments were not destitute of ingeniousiy de- vised discomfort.
 For instance, there was the wooden horse on movable stand, made in the similitude of that animal, with head and tail attached to increase the likeness, of blanks nailed together and meeting in a sharp ridge. Upon this ridge, as upon the back of horse, the culprit rode astride with his hands tied behind him and his legs dragged down by attached muskets to prevent, according to a ghastly joke of that time, his horse kick ing him.
 There was also the picket, kind of torture in which one hand was fastened to a hook in post above the head of the criminal, while his suspended body was supported by his bare heel resting on a wooden stump, narrowed, to cause him the greater inconvenience.
 These punishments were discontinued as leading to rupture and lameness. In running the gantlet or the gantlope the wretched soldier ran between two lines of his comrades and was beaten by switches and insulted by the worst of them-a form of torture degrading sol diers to executioners, and perhaps the most cowardly and intolerable ever con- ceived.-London Tit-Bits.

Said the man to the Irish bow:

Frogs and some peoples ideas about paints are the same as they were hun dred years ago. The Chiffon Paint Go. Is trying to convince the public that given the proper materials, mixed and ground by the proper machinery, the result can but be better paint than it is possible to make by hand. Does it not seem reasonable that where the ma terials used in making paint are seven times passed through machinery that does not vary in its action, the mixture is going to be more perfect than where man or boy stirs them with stick, adding little oil, stirring a few times, then little more lead and color. few more stirs with the stick, until he gets tired and says he guesses it will do. Think this over. You must see that the man cannot do the work of a machine. We have the latest and best paint ma. chinery that can be bought. Chiffon Paint Co.,, New York and Boston.
