Some Pecul.arities OF Icebergs.

Derelicts and iceberRs are among the
dangers to which vessels are constantly
exposed, the latter being perhaps the
more formidable of the two, because
there are more of them at certain sea-
SONS, and there is no telling when one
Of these monsters may hcave in sight
An ordinary iceberg shows one-ninth of
its bulk above water. During the pres
ent season a number Of these masses of
ice-at least 100 feet high-have been
encountered by steamships. 1t is scarcely
possible to imagine an iceberg with 900
feet Of its bulk below water. One cap
tain reports having seen an enormous
field Of ice at least 800 feet high and
1900 feet long. 1t had evidently but
just turned over, rs the upper portion
was full of sharp angles and points. and
tho water was trickling down its side.
One of the greatest dangers from ice
beras is being in their vicinity when
they turn over. The sea currents wash
and melt them into all sorts of fantastic
figures and points. They melt below SO
much more rapidly than above that the
center of gravity becomes disturbed. and
they turn with tremendous force. Some
times the disturbance is almost equal to
tidal wave and is sufficient to upset
any small craft that may be in its way.

Parting With n Leg,

An old soldier told n reporter Of the
most affecting parting he ever had in
his life. 1t was n parting with himself,
or rather part Of himself. He was in
M engagement before Petersburg and
had the misfortune to come in contact
with piece Of broken shell which ex-
ploded near him, and which succeeded
in SCATTERING his leg. Amputation was
necessary, and shortly after he was lying
in his tent. As he looked up he saw a
cart piled up with legs and arms Of 9TH
ers who had been unfortunate in the en-
gagemrnt, and right Oh top he recog-
nized his own leg. "It was sad part
ing" he said. Ito see part of you 60
ing away never to be returned again. /
can never tell you what strange feelings
came over me, and to this day 1 can see
that fine blacS horse hauling my leg
away to its las, resting place. Pitts

Battlefield Cremation.

In view of the :.'rrific slaughter by
means Of the latest improved munitions
Of war it has been suggested that some
steps must be taken toward providing
for the removal Of the dead which would
SO incum'er the ground as to make &C
ton and locomotion extremely difficult.
1t has been proposed that crematories be
started for the purpose of disposing of
the dead. While it is clearly apparent
that something must be done i'll this di-
rection it seems an exaggerated form of
brutality TO dump the dead into crema-
tory furnaces in this way. There is also
the very sravest danger that careless
and unfeeling employees may pick up
men who are only stunned or who may
have tainted and plunge them into the
fiery vortex.
1t is well understood fact that men
have lain for hours on the battlefield
dead to all appearances, and such might
easily be gathered up by ignorant or I'M
observing attendants and consigned to
the flames. 1t would be very much bet
ter to prepare temporary receiving hos
pitfalls, where ali men not absolutely
shot to pieces could be removed and ex-
amined. Then the crematory might do
good work There is, however, a melan-
choly satisfaction to surviving friends
in the idea that the bodies of their loved
ones who have fallen in battle may be
brought home to them and buried in
the family vault. Battlefield crema-
tories are not likely to come into gen
eral favor among people of delicate SEN
sibilities.-New York Ledger

Justice Again Outraged.

While W. w. Taylor. the default
ing state treasurer of South Dakota.
received a 5-years' sentence to the
Sioux Falls penitentiary. the en-
bezzler is still on the outside OF
prison bars. and through his law
yers is fighting vigorously for liberty
or a reduced penalty.
There is little doubt, says the
Chicago Post. that the faithlcss ofli-
sinl made n bargain with the state
prior to turing over his body to the
states attorney. 1t was agreed that
he should refund $lOO,s00 in cash. a
quantity Of more or less principally
lcss) valuable property and notes.
and in return for this act OF COM
plaisance receive 2-years' sentence
to the penitentiary. from which, SO
the story goes. he was to be par
doned out by the governor in a year.
But the state officials did not reckon
on the temper Of the people when
this outrageous compromise with
crime was effected. The honest citi-
zens of South Dakota, through the
unmuzzled press, made earnest out
cry against this juggle with justice,
and so vigorous were their protests
that the trial judge was compelled
to give them attention. As a result.
instead of an absurd 2-years' sem
tence Taylor received five years at
hard labor for his crime. Now he is
doing the protesting. and his virtu-
Gus wrath at the duplicity OF the
state is one of the richest exhibitions
ever given in the picturesque state
Of South Dakota.

THE TRIPLE CALL DOWN.
How O Eored freshman Silenced . Crows
Of Self Admitted Gcnials.


There were four of them, as genial,
good naturcd, whole souled retailers of
old wives tales as ever got together in
the smoking compartment of a sleeping
car. They had all fed well i'll the diner
and settled down with the anticipation
of cnjoyin: a long evening Of yarn
swapping. They spread themselves over
rs many of the seats of the smoker rs
they could cover and crowded into a
corner large, round faced. jolly look
ing freshman, who was enjoying his
after dinner cigar. Somehow he WASH Z
amused by the stories. The narrators
spread themselves, but they couldn I
feaze him, and the bored expression OH
his face grew in intensity as the stories
went Oh. The stories were not funny.
Once in awhile there was q CLEAN of
humor, but for the most part they were
just commonplace or vulgar. But they
seemed irresistibly humorous to the
four, who pelted their thighs and
whcezcd and chorttled and roared as
each in turn finished his yarn.
At last the big Irishman could endure
it 10 longer, and he broke in:
THAT reminds me Of the farmer who
caught three boys stealing apples in his
orchard.
The original four turned toward him
with look of expectant triumph, ready
to yell at the first sign of conclusion.
"Hc chased Them" went on the Irish
man, land they all ran up a tree.
Como down, said the farmer, but they
wouldn't.
"'Will We come dewn for once:'
asked the farmer,
"'We will not, answered the boys
"WHl We come down for twice.
"'We will not
"'Will We come down for three
times?'
$50 they all came down"
And with that the big Irishman wink
ed at the only other man in the COM
partment who was not Of the story tell
ing crowd. The yarn spinners laughed
uproariously for Il second or two, and
then light went up, as the Germans
say, and they stopped suddenly. They
looked at one another for q minute,
searching for the point, and then one
said, with yawn and n stretch: well,
Iguess it's bedtime. Good night" And
