VlRGlNlA'S ICE MINE.
It Is One of the Greatest Wonders 1
This Country.

It Is One of the Greatest Wonders In
This Country.
One of the greatest curiosities in the
United States, or in the world, perhaps,
is the wonderful ledge Of ice which ex-
lists, even in the midst Of the hottest
summer, in Scott county, Va. This nat
ural icehouse is situated on the north
side of Stone mountain and about six
miles from the mouth Of small stream
known as Stony creek. The marvel IS
said to have been known to at least one
cf the early settlers, a Mr.. Danridge,
who, it is alleged, discovered it while
deer hunting away back in 1880. Ow-
ing to the fact that the land On which
it was situated could not be bought, Mr..
Darridge positively refused to tell of
the whereabouts of the ice ledge, and
only visited the place when it was alb
sclutely necessary to obtain supply to
be used il case of sickness.
The Old man died many years ago,
and from that time until 1893 the loca-
ton of Danridge's ice mine was un-
known, the old gentleman having never
even taL5n his own family into the Sc
cret.
In the year last mentioned, however,
a party of herb diggers visited the un-
frequenteG region contiguous to Stone
mountain and were fortunate enough to
rediscover the lost ice mine
During two or three months in the
middle Of summer the ice is only pro-
tected from the SUMS rays By a thick
growth of moss. The formation of the
ice layer is similar to that of a coal
vein, being thin in some places and
thicker in others, the average thickness
being about four feet. Persons Of some
scientific attachments who have visited
the place for the purpose of studying
the wonder say that it has the appear
ance of having been there since the time
of the ice age, which the geologists talk
so much about. Another plausible theo-
ry is that somewhere beneath the bed
is situated a great natural laboratory
where ether is constantly formed and
expelled, and that the process Of freez-
ing is now constantly going on. What
ever view is taken it is one Of the great
est natural wonders the state Affords

Foolish Salesman.

Lundy FooS, tho Dublin tobacconist,
laid the foundation of his large fortune
by saying to each dirty, ragged little
girl, rs he handed her the penEyworth

a Young lady was i'll search OF some
material 70 use fer :, waist with very
handsome silk skirt, and she advanced
to the coGnJer where this particular
clerk was presiding. She was quietly
dressed. She did rot scintillate with
spangles and gilt belts, and her sleeves
and skirt did not extend to the 1uIl
width OF space between the counters,
consequently the clerk decided that sho
did not come from the magic precincts
Of the Back Bay.
Attracted by certain piece Of goods,
she asked the price and Width. The
man answered shortly, "Three dollars

various other things on the counter, and
then returning to the first thing as the
most pleasing she said politely:
''Will you please give me q sample
Of this?''
The man did not move. 81 told you
that was So yard, he said.
The girl locked at him. Yes" she
said. .'The silk with which intend to
use it cost $s3.75 yard, but l think l

A smile stole over the faces of two or
three shoppers, and the salesman cut the
sample with a meekness that would
have done credit to Moses. But that girl
says she'll go without 6 dress rather
than buy q yard of that man.
