HISTORY or THE HUDSON.
The Work of the Glacial Action OF the Ice
Ape.

The Work of the Glacial Action Of the Ice
Age.
The Hudson river, as we call it, along
the western shore of the island of Map
haitian, is now majestic estuary rather
than river, and is deep enough for all
the uses Of great ships. But its present
bottom is formed Of the rock wreckagc
of an earlier day, which has largely
filled up a chasm once several hundred
feet deep, through which the old river
ran.
So colossal was the sheet Of ice which
came sweeping down from the ncrth-
west over. the top of the Palisades in
the ice age that this ancient chasm of
the Hudson rivera veritable canon
once changed its course no whit. For
the direction of the grooves and
scratches seen everywhere on the ex-
posed surface of the Palisades, and
pointing obliq uely across the rivers
course, run in the same direction as do
stands.
It not infrequently happens that
steamers and ships bound for New
York, when not quite certain of their
whereabouts as they approach the
coast, are compelled to seek what help
they can by consulting the nearest
land, which, under these conditions, is
the sea-bottom. The sea-bottom along
our coast has been so often and so
carefully "felt" that we know great
plateau extends out beyond the coast
line for some eighty or ninety miles.
where it suddenly falls off into the
great depths of the Atlantic. The
place on which New York stands was,
it is believed, once much higher than
it is now, and was separated from the
North Atlantic border by so,ne eighty
or ninety miles of low sea-coast land,
now submerged, and forming this great
continental plateau. Indeed, the New
Jersey and adjacent coast is still sinking
at the rate of few inches in century.
For us to-day the Hudson river ends
southwark where it enters New York
harbor. But channel, starting ten
miles southeast of Sandy Hook, and in
q general way continuing the line Of
the Hudson, runs across the submerged
continental plateau, where finally, after
widening and deepening to form tire
mendous submarine chasm, it abruptly
ends where the plateau falls off into
the deep sea.
This chasm near the end of the sub
merged channel is, if we may believe
the story of the plummet, twenty five
miles long, mile and quarter wide,
and in places two thousand feet in
vertical depth below its submerged
edges, themselves far beneath tho
oceans surface.
''This drowned river" is probably
the old channel of what we call the
Hudson river, along which part of
the melting glacier sent its flood dur
ing and at the close of the age of ice.
And so at last-rounded and smoothed
rock surfaces, where once sharp crags
lowered aloft; glacial grooves and
scratches on every hand; erratic
powders, great and small, numbering
the ground; typical rocking-stone
delicately poised by vanishing forces
long ago; terminal moraine so great
that it forms picturesque landscape
features visible many miles away
these are some of the records of the
great ice age which one may spell
ont in a holiday stroll about New York.

per's Magazine.

The G. n. Appeals,

The Great Northern Railway Com
pany has appealed from the order of
the Railroad Commission of this state,
reducing its grain rates. The order is
limited solely to rates local to the state,
and the question involved is as to be
reasonableness of local rates. The COM
pany, on the appeal, and on motion to
stay the order, has filed certain afflda-
Wits, and among others the affidavit of
Vice-President w. P. Clough, as to the
earnings, cost of construction and
operation, and other matters material
to the question.

School AppOrtionment.

The October school apportionment
made by the state superintendent
shows gratifying growth in the
school population for the year past. All
county reports have been received and
show a total of 5000 pupils who are
entitled to receive So. so each, or in all
about $3.50, 600, as against 244,7 94 pupils
last year, who received SO each, or an
aggregate of 1874, 1872. Last year Ram
sey county returned 1889 pupils and
received $55,7s4.s5. This year her 2O,-
s67 pupils will receive $56,577. Last
year Hennepin county received $685. 15.
having 2s,4o5 pupils reported. This
year, with S1,3O1 pupils will receive

pain, headache, backache, and nervous dis
turbances, or the general health not good,
the judicious use of medicine should be
employed. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton is the best restorative tonic and nerv-
inc at this time. The best bodily condition
results from its use. It's a remedy spe-
cially indicated for those delicate weak
nesses and arrangements that aflict wo-
menkind at one period or another. You'll
find that the woman who has faithfully
used the Prescription is the picture Of
health, she looks zOell and she feels svell.
In catarrhal inflammation, in chronic dis.
placements common to women, where there
are symptoms of backache, dizziness or
fainting, bearing down sensations, disor-
dered stomach, moodiness, fatigue. ETC.,
the trouble is surely dispelled and the
sufferer brought back to health and good
spirits.

Winter Feeding Of Pigs.

Feed pigs one pound Of corn or
corn meal to twenty pounds of skim
milk. This will give nutritive ratio
Of one to eight, which is very suit
able one for winter feeding in warm
and dry pens. They should have some
exercise. AS the porkers approach the
time when it is proposed to sell them,
increase the proportion Of corn meal to
skim milk. During the last few days
of feeding the porkers no exercise
should be allowed. Bran or oats are
neither SO we'll adapted to the feeding
of pigs as corn meal. Pigs, like calves,
enjoy little oil meal, an ounce or so
q day per pig. # they incline to get
too fat, reduce the corn; if too lean,
increase it. There is no certain rule
nor certain ration. The feeder should
be the judge Of what is most econom-
Sical and best for the animal. II. p. Rob-
erts, Cornell Experiment Station.

FATTENING SHEEP.
The Most Profitable System Is That

The Most Profitable System Is That As
surfing Rapid Growth.
Under such conditions as we have in
this state, writes Prof. John A. Craig,
of Wisconsin-and they represent those
of the greater portion of the middle
states-the most profitable system of
making money is that which has in
view high feeding and rapid gain from
birth to the block. From the data that
I have secured from experimenting
during the past three years in the
feeding of lambs at all times of their
lives until one year old, the most profit
able method of feeding is ubtedly
that which keeps them doing the best
they can from the start to finish,
by liberal feeding of grain, and fold
ing them on green crops. The lambs
before weaving should get such grain
as bran, and, at ordinary prices, some
Gil meal; then, after weaving, some
oats together with clover aftermath,
rape or white turnips, and when put
up in the sheds-if the feeding is car
ried that far-fed for quick gains, so
that they weigh $50 pounds when fin
ished inside of a years time. This sys-
tenn. if rightly understood, is more
profitable than the common one which
does not provide the lamb with any
grain before weaving, but only pas
ture until ia ttening starts on the ar
rival Of winter. Considering the cost
of the extra food and giving the lambs
the same care every way, except that
one group was fed grain from the start
and the other not have found as much
as fifty cents per head more profit from
those that had grain continuously,
even though the grain were charged to
them at market prices It is the great
est gain in flesh, the increased clip of
wool and the higher price per pound
which they bring, even in our local
market, that produces this extra
profit. And further, the granted
lambs are ready to sell at any time that
the market prices are high. Prairie

DIED FROM EXPOSURE.
The Dead Body of Orlando Nickersor
Found on the Western Prom enade.

For several weeks Mr.. Orlando Nicker-
son, who reside at No. 5 Bramhall place,
had been i'll with an attack of grippe,
which was complicated with other
troubles. Aaweek ago yesterday he i'm
proved sufficiently to'visit his Office, but
on his return home had to go to bed
again. His wife had. the care of him, and
to increase her burden her son was also
ill.
Last Tuesday it was evi dent that Mr..
Nickerson's mind was affected by his ill
ness. He tried to go to the cellar, and
severely wrenched his wife's wrist when
she attempted to control him. Wednes-
day night, or rather yesterday morning
about O'Clock, Mrs. Nickerson thought
she would lie down for littlew while as
she was thoroughly tired out. About
7.15 O'Clock she rose and went to the
kitchen and fixed her fire and then went
to her husbands room. To her horror
which opens on the back of the house
was open. She rushed to her sons room
and told him what hadshapened and also
called up MIR. Dow, neighbor.
When Mr.. Nickersoa jumped from the
window to eyard1he had nothing on
but his nndershiSt,afid nightshirt. He
was bare footed and it was owing to
the bare foot prints he was traced to Hill
street where the prints were lost in the
numerous foot tracks Then a message
was sent from the Holland drug store to
the police station. Deputy Marshal
Hartnett and officers at once responded
and at o'clock the body was found in
front of the Brown estate fence on the
Western Promenade. In getting to the
place where his body was found Mr..
Nickerson had climbed barbed wire
fence and had cut his feet and legs con-
siderably. When discovered the body
was not frozen, but the hands and feet
were. 1t was taken to Martins, the
undertaken, where Drs. Palmerand Fes-
sender announced that death was caused
by exposure and Coroner Perry decided
an inquest unnecessary under the cir
cumstances.
Mr.. Nickerson was born in Dennis, on
Cape Cod, Mass, in 1910, and was almost
So years Of age. He attended the Spring
hall academy at Sandwich and then
moved to Portland with his father the
late Captain Moses B. Nickerson, with
whom he was engaged subsequently in
the fish and brokerage business on Com
mercial street. Afterwards he was en-
gagged as clerk with the Central Wharf
Towboat comany, in which capacity he
continued until his death.
In 1878 he married Miss Lizzie,
daughter of Richard and PAMELA John
son of New Lisbon, Wis. One son,
Charles S., with the widow, survive the
deceased.
