Ill Days Without Sleep.

William Jones, wealthy farmer, re.

the 1l1th day without sleep the other
evening, one of the most noted cases
of insomnia ever recorded. His sleep.
lessness began on September %, but
really dates back to the 17th of that
month, as the only time that he hae
slept Ill thai period was about half an
hour on the morning of the 23d. He
has gone without food part of the
time, and, Notwithstanding that he
has been awake continually, he does
not suffer any particular inconveni-
ence, and is able to be up and around
his farm. lie lays down often and
gets rest in this manner. He thinks
that the sleeplessness is brought on
by the use OF tobacco. Three years
ago he went ninety days without sleep.
He says he does not think sleep will
come to him for some months yet, but
that it will finally be forced on.-Cin-

OVER THE SNOW.

Sweet Milicent put on her furs,
Nor cares how hard the north wind blows
So many hearts would capture hers,
She has no lack of anxious beaux.
Now jingle, jingle go the bells,
Past burdened fields, past wood and
shore
With joyous hope her bosom swells,
And all the world is fair before.
One summer day she CHANGED to meet
Her escort, near the oceans tide
But now he comes with coursers fleet
And asks her to u winters ride.
Jingle, jingle go the bells,
AS off the happy couple starts
But only Cupid's record tells
The union there fhands and hearts
So, let the north winds roughly blow,
Nothing shall cool their deep DESIRE
For love can melt the cold and snow,
And needs no outward flame or fire!
Jingle, jingle go the bells,
Until the merry trip is dono;
The frosty road no secret tells
Oftwo fond hearts that beat as one.

Potatoes as Pcnholders.

SIT is surprising" says a CONNER
cial traveller, show general the use of
potatoes as penholders is becoming
in hotels. 1 have seen them in dse
in great hostelries of the East, whose
owners wouldn't hesitate for moment
to spend $40 for desk ornament to
hold pens used by the guests in reg
istering. The mixture OF starch, glu-
cose and water in the potato seems
well adapted to take up tho impuri-
ties of ink, and to keep the pen-point
clear and bright, whilo the alkaloid
of tho potato, known as solanine,
doubtless has something to do with it
in tho slme line. These elements
readily take up the tenuate of iron,
which is the body substance OF ink.
Chemically speaking, starch is the
first base OF q potato, and sugar or
glucose is its second base. Thus is

Perpetual Ice in Virginia.

1t was not long ago reported that q
natural icchousc on grand scale had
ben discovered under singular circum.
stances on the north side Of Stone
Mountain, six miles from the mouth of
Stony Creek, in Scott County, Vir-
ginia. AS the story goes, 1t appears
that one of the old settlers first discov,
cred it about 1880, but owing to the
fact that the land on which it was situ.
ated could not be bought he refused to
tell its whereabouts and would only
take ice from it in case of sickness. He
died without revealing the secret TO
even his own family, and but for
party of seng diggers entering the re-
gion it might have remained secret
for generations, as it is situated in an
unfrequented part of the mountain.
The ice was only protected from the
rays of the sun by thick growth of.
mess, resembling that seen dangling
from the oaks of Louisiana and Texas.
Its formation was after the fashion of
n coal vein, being n few inches thick in
some places, while several feet in
others. The formation indicates that
it had been spread over the surface in
u liquid state and then CONCEALED. By
what process it freezes or was frozen
is matter of conjecture. Some think
that it was formed in the winter and
had been protected since by n dense
growth of moss which covers it, while
the more plausible theory is that be,
