Remarkable Stalactite Caves In Utah.

Remarkable Stalactite Caves In Utah.
. Two Of the most wonderful stalactite
caves in the world are located within the
territory Of Utah-one five miles south
Of Toquerville and the other Is miles
west of St. George. Neither is remark
able on account Of size, and to the best
of my knowledge the dignifying title of
cavern" has never been bestowed upon
either of the two. They simply come
within the category of the wonderful be-
cause Of the immense number of stalac-
titles of various sizes and colors which
depend from their roofs. The first, the
one near Toquerville, is known as La
Virgin. and the other by the name of the
Black Warrior:
The Virgin was discovered few years
ago by the contractor of an irrigating
company, who was engaged in driving a
tunnel through a mountain called ''La
Virgin Bench" for the purpose Of tap
ping the river beyond. When the light
was first let into this wonderful under
ground chamber, the effect is said to
have been startling, the roof and floor
glittering with cubes and points of crys-
tai alum and the roof studded with mil
lions of rain colored stalactites.
The 'Black Warrior" cave is a coun-
terpart of the Virgin and was discovered
by miners at point where their tunnel
was 365 feet beneath. the surface.-St.
Louis Republic.

Ex-PresidentS In Politics

Several of the presidents have remained
in active politics after retirement from
the White House. Buchanan was elected
president at 66 and retired at the age of
20. Tyler was a member Of the provi-
sional confederate congress- at the age of
H.. John Adams, at IS years Of age, was
delegate to the convention for revising
the constitution of Massachusetts, John
Quincy Adams was elected to congress
by the anti Mason party when he was g..
and he remained. in congress for period
of n years. He died in the hall Of the
house. James Monroe retired from the
presidency at g., was regent of the
University of Virginia with Madison and
Jefferson at SO, but declined to serve as
an elector from Virginia at 70 on the
ground that an ex-president should net
be partisan, but afterward acted as a
local magistrate and was a member of
the constitutional convention of Vr-
GINA. Andrew Jackson was 70 when he
left the White House.-W ashington Star.

Humorous TriaeS,

The floating bits Of humorto be picked
up on many a random page of literature
are enough to convince us that the world
is blithesome sort of place after all.
Chief Justice Rushe and Lord Nor
bury were walking together in the old
times and came upon a gibbet.
''Where would you be-" asked Nor
bury, pointing to the gibbet, eff we all
had our deserts?''
''Faith, was the reply; 81 should be
travelling alone!'
O'Connelps cutting description of Lady
H is worth a dozen ordinary witt
cisms, .She had all the qualities Of the
kitchen poker without its occasional
warmth.
Then take the remark of Sydney Smith
in regard to very attractive and dash
ing widow, "When Mrs. 81 appears
in the neighborhood. the whole horizon
is darkened with majors!'' Youths

Fitting One Of Them For . Cruise Costs .
Small Fortune.
Furniture and supplies for Uncle
Sam's new war vessels cost mint Of
money. To fit out one Of these ships for
q cruise is bigger job than equipping a
first class hotel. Here is floating for
tress as long as two city blocks, with all
modern oonveniences and complete res
taurant facilities, lighted throughout by
electricity gigantic fighting machine
and military barracks combined. Her
steel walls, bristling with guns, shelter
small army of men. The New York,
for example, has crew numbering ass,
besides 40 marines and A officers. To
feed them all for a twelvemonth at the
governments rate of allowance costs
SEC, 1000.
On going into commission such ship
must be furnished throughout, from the
kitchen, which is as complete as that of
great city hostelry, to the captains
cabin. She carries large stocks of sta
tionery, hardware and apothecaries'
goods, and is provided with tools for all
sorts of trades. Everything conceivable
that may be needed for purposes of war
and peace is supplied, because on the
high seas no shops or factories are &C
cessible. Usually the vessel is pro-
visioned for only three months, because
there is no room to stow more. The ra-
tions are purchased by the navy depart
ment and comprise such necessities as
hard bread, cornmeal, oatmeal, hominy,
-four, salt pork, beans, peas, rice, pre-
served meats, butter, coffee and tea.
Every man in the navy, from the last
boy shipped up to the admiral, has an
allowance of 80 cents a day for rations,
which he may draw either in food or in
money. The paymaster of the ship has
charge of all the provisions, which are
dealt out by his ':yeoman,' who is in
turn assisted by the jack-odust. The
person last named attends to opening the
barrels and packages. Coffee and sugar
are served out once in 10 days, -four ev-
cry four days and meats daily. While
in port fresh provisions are furnished,
each man receiving one pound of fresh
bread, II pounds of fresh meat and one
pound of fresh vegetables per diem.
These take tho place Of the ordinary ra-
tions, only tea and coffee being provided
in addition. The allowance is at all
times so liberal that the enlisted men
cannot possibly consume the whole Of it,
so they take part of it in cash.-Phila-

Respectable WhiSkey Shops.
Charlerton Sun.

Sweden and Norway have achieved them.
Sweden and Norway that ten years ago had
the name of being the most drunken coun-
tries In the world. Now they are models OF
sobriety compared to even the United States.
The change has been wrought by the new
LIQUOR law under which city government
takes charge of the sale OF intoxicating
drinks. In Swed en- mo mau can make q
cent from liquor selling. The city govern.
ment buys at wholesale liquors OF guaranteed
purity, designates the places at which they
shall be sold and the hours, and then puts a
man in charge on salary. The less whisky
the man sells the more successful he IL con-
Sidered to he as business man. He must be
one OF the most reputable citizens OF the town,
or he will not be permitted to have charge OF
The saloon itself is a plain, four walled
room. No pictures decorate 1t; no warm
stove sends out genial comfort. There is not
even chair TO Sit down In. A man may buy
whisky by the drink. He drinks 1t, and Is
sent off about his business. He may not have
another drink OF spirits 'under three hours.
The LIQUOR shops are not opened I'LL Soclcck
i'm the morning. They are closed at the noon
nour and closed at 7:30 In the evening IN
winter and in summer. On pay days the
saloons are shut before the workmen get
money, and the day before a holiday they
close at noon The result is that drunkenness
in Sweden and Norway is decreasing per-
ceptibly and steadily.

Goodwin to Men.

I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old, familiar carols play:
And mild and sweet
The words repeat
OF peace ON earth, goodwill TO men
And thought how, as the day had come,
The belrries of all Christendom
Had rolled along
The un broken song
or peace on earth, goodwill to men.
The ringing, singing on its way,
The world reyolVes from night TO day,
A voice, a chime,
4 chant sublime,
or peace on earth, goodwill 10 men.

Let's close 1t with Il parting rhyme,
And pledge hand TO all young friends,
AS fits the merry Christmas time.
ON ilfe's wide scene you, TOO. have parts,
That fate ere long shall bid yOu play;
Good night with honest gentle hearts,
A kindly greeting go alway. -
My song, save this. is little worth g..

And with you health, and love, ana mlrth,

BROKE ChST-fRON RULE.
Carleton McCsrthy's Experience on Hot
Night-A Tale with Moral.

The successful business men Of this
life are those who are governed, and
govern. by the law. "a place for every
thing and everything in its proper place"
ApropOs 20 the above a very laugha-
bic incident has leaked ont in regard TO
one Of the city's most prominent bust
ness men, who In infringing on the above
methodical rule. which is a cast-iron
statute in his office, experienced no little
Inconvenience, to say nothing OF chaerin
Mr.. Carlton Mccarthy. secretary Of the
Old Dominion Building and Loan Associa-
ton. a most genial gentleman socially, but
a martinez In regard to certain Office regu-
lations. recently passed a few very IN
comfortable hours owing 10 a violation
Of one Of his own rules.
Mr.. Mccarthy Is an exceedingly metno-
deal and neat man, he is very particular
and likes TO have things just So
lie requires Of all his clerks that they
shall hang their hats and coats. when IN
the office, behind the big vault OF the
company Every man has his own peg
and would as soon think Of jumping Off
the new City Hall as not TO obey this
rule
The other evening after the clerks had
gone for the day. It so happened that
3 l..
ter IT was very warm and he was In
a great hurry. He pulled off his coat, not
caring. since no one was in the office. 10
take the trouble 70 walk around 10 his
peg so ne hung his coat and hat just
inside the vault.
Finishing his letter. he closed the door
Of the vault, forgetting about his coat.
Much was his establishment when he
discovered too late that he had the pros
pect Of going home coatless and hatless.
The ianitor had gone home, and Mr.. Me-
Carthy. who keeps the combination Of
the vault lock in cipher. remembered
that the cipher was In his coat pocket.
Things looked n little dark for the
genial secretary. but he suddenly remem-
bered that he heard one Of his clerks
saw i'm the afternoon that ne was going 10
take his best girl over to Corcoran Hall
that -lght to ran entertainment. The
Young man was sent for. forced 70 leave
his fair partner in the hands Of friend
or navbe a rival sutton, and come and
liberate his employer. Instead Of got
ting away from his office at s o'clock. his
usual hour the stars had been peeping out
sometime before a sadder. but wiser,
gentleman wended his homeward way.
There IS q moral 10 this story Which
Carlton Mccarthy will give any earnest
inquirer after Information.
