CURIOUS DISCOVERY.
Nature Built an Icebox in a Hill the
Banks Of the Mississippi.

Nature Built IcebOx in Hill on the
Banks of the Mississippi.
The report has been brought in, AYERS
the Springfield Leader, that about fiji
teen miles west of Red Bud, ILL.,, and
the same distance north of Ste. Gene
We've, Mo-, on the banks of the Mis-
sissippi river, is a natural curiosity,
being no less than refrigerator formed
by some unexplained law of nature.
A short time ago Farmer Wallace, on
whose land this was seen, dug cellar
or grotto in the shady hillside, where
the rocks are thin and brittle, in order
to get storage place for milk and other
edibies. After digging back few feet
he was surprised to find layers of ice
between the layers of rocks, and, as it
was cool inside, and it promised to be
more than he expected in the way of
a refrigerator, he finished it up by put
ting in a door. He finds by trial that
everything placed inside, such as meats,
milk, fruits, or other perishable ar
ticles, keeps perfectly for any length of
time. During the hottest weather last
summer milk stored in this cellar would
make the teeth ache to drink it. G. Y.
Kettler of Red Bud says it is a wonder,
and not at all like a common cellar,
but a veritable ice box, made so by
natural ice formed inside, how, it is
not known.

An Impartial Witness.

In Harlem a few days ago, a man
sued another for the recovery of a dog,
which he claimed as his own. The de-
PENDANT and plaintiff each produced
reputable witnesses as to the owner
ship. At length the judge thinking he
had bright thought, ordered the con-
testants to whistle for the animal, and
whichever was responded to he de-
clared should be considered the owner.
The defendant and the plaintiff both
whistled and snapped their fingers. The
dog banged his tail on the courtroom
floor joyfully and rushed to the plaintiff
and fawned on him moment, and
then, to the disgust Of the court, rushed
to the defendant and exhibited the same
signs of JOY. The case is still undecid-

What to Do in Case of Accidents.

What to Do in Case of Accidents.
The following short rules for action,
in cases of accident, will be found use
full to remember. For dust in the eyes
avoid rubbing water in them; re-
move cinders. ETC., with the round
point of a lead pencil. Remove wax
from the ear with tepid water; never
put a hard instrument in the car. Ii
any artery is cut compress above the
wound; if a vein is cut, compress be-
low. If choking. get on all tours and
cough. For slight burns dip the parts
in cold water-if the skin is destroyed,
cover with a paste Of whitening and
water. Smother a fire with carpets,
etc.; water will often spread burning
oil and increase the danger. Before
passing through smoke take long
breath and then stoop low; but, if car
bonic acid gas is suspected, walk erect.
Suck poisoned wounds, unless your
mouth is sore; enlarge the wound, or,
better still, cut out the part without
delay: hold the wounded part as long
as can be borne to a hot COAL or end OF
a lighted cigar. In case OF poisoning
excite vomiting by tickling the throat,
or by warm water and mustard. For
acid poisons give alkalies, for alkaline
poisons give acids; white of egg is
good in most cases; in case of opium
poisoning give strong coffe and keep
moving. IF in water float on the back
with nose and mouth projecting. For
apopIexy, raise the head and body; for
fainting, lay the person fiat.

A strange sight was seen in London
at the great fire in the grain ware
houses near Blackfriars bridge. AS the
buildings, which were on the waters
edge, we're burning a black mass was
seen in the river floating from the
Surrey TO the Middlesex side. It was
composed of thousands of rats cut from
escape on the land side. Many thou
sands of them succeeded in crossing
the river, but we're then unable to get
up the smooth side of the Thames en-
bankment and were carried down
stream and drowned.

TRAINING A PARROT.
A Pet Always Amusing and Which Lives
rs Long as His Master.

As a household pet the parrot with
justice ranks a paramount favorite.
Possessed of brilliant plumage, endowed
with speech, he is gifted with intel
Hgence ard understanding almost hu-
man. The parrot, properly cared for.
says the New York Observer, lives from
fifty to one hundred years, and thus,
with his increasing wisdom and reper-
toire of words, can be passed from
father 10 son as valuable heirloom.
That he dies young under the too low
ing care OF his foolish masters, who in
sist upon overfeeding him, and expos
ing him to draughts and sudden changes
of atmosphere, is but another reminder
that the care of pets demands intel
hgence as well as affection.
The African gray parrot and the
Mexican green are the two standard
fayorites. They are excellent takers
and whistlers, and learn to sing both
words and music of popular ballads.
The proper time for the instruction OF
parrots is the three hours Immediately
following sunrise and the three before
sunset. They must be taught with the
utmost patience by a constant repesis
tion of the same phrase, and should be
rewarded by bit of apple or fruit from
the month. The best work is done
after the birds affection and confidence
are gained. Occasionally bird will
remain persistently dumb and stupid
for eight or even ten months, and then.
to the surprise of its delighted teacher,
break out into speech and song. chuck
ling with vicious delight at the merry
trick it has played.

accomplishments Of these young men is
to be found in the university athletic
grounds, the university theaters and
society halls In other words, the
alumni and large body of thoughtful
people not directly connected with the
various seats of learning are coming to
an agreement that the college youth is
altogether too much in evidence outside
of the college yards, either for his own
good or the legitimate prestige of his
particular alma mater.
OF course, the conditions under which
the rowing matches are held make the
selection on a somewhat retired and
neutral course like that at New London
fit and proper; but the football, like
the baseball matches, should be con-
fined to college grounds, with the
avowed intention of reducing the num-
Der and improving the character of the
spectators, reducing the expenses and
minimizing the publicity and spectacu-
lar features of the competitions.
Another desirable result of this policy
would be the elimination of most of the

matches that fill the columns of the
newspapers for several weeks every
autumn. Certainly the students them
selves would undergo less excitement
and suffer less distraction from their
legitimate college work if the scale on

were effectively reduced. When these
rivalries become matters of national
concern they naturally tend to become
dangerously intense and injurious to
