REoIscovERY OF ANlCE LEDGE.
4 Natural Formation That Has Again
Been Found In Virginia.

Natural Formation That Has Again
Been Found In Virginia.
The people of Scott county, Va, are
thinking of making a popular attrac-
ton out of a wonderful ledge of ice
which has been found there. Why it
does not melt under the warm Virginia
climate is a mystery.
This natural ice house is situated on
the north side of Stone Mountain, and
about six miles from the mouth of a
small stream known as Stony creek.
The marvel is said to have been known
to at least one of the early settlers, a
Mr.. Danridge, who, it is alleged, dis
covered it while deer hunting away
back in 1880.
Owing to the fact that the land on
which it was situated could not be
bought, Mr.. Danridge positively re-
fused to tell of the whereabouts CT the
ice ledge. He only visited the place
when it was absolutely necessary to
obtain supply of ice to be used in case
of sickness.
The old man died many years ago,
and from that time the location of
'Danridge's Ice Mine" was unknown,
the old gentleman having never even
taken his own family into the secret.
Recently, however, party of herb
diggers visited the unfrequented re-
gion contingent to Stone mountain
and discovered the lost ice mine. Dur
ing two or three months in the middle
Of the summer the ice is only protected
from the suns rays by a thick growth

The formation of the ice layer is sim
liar to that of coal vein, being thin in
some places and thick in others, the
average thickness being about four
feet. Persons of some scientific attain
ments who have visited the place for the
purpose of studying the wonder say that
it has the appearance of having been
there since the time of the ice age

Some Weak Points of the Republica,
ssReclurocftvss Edam

Some Weak Points OF the Repablican
i '.Reciprocity'' Idea.
The word reciprocity" has q talrfnr
sound about it. and it is very pIeasanx
to know that one person reciprocates
another persons affection, or that on0
nation reciprocates another nation,a
good win. The general idea of reciproc-
ity in business or in commerce parfakes
also of the same sentiment-that il In
pleasant and equitable that nations
should interchange commodities On q
reciprocal plan.
The ways and means committee OF
the house of representatives is en-
gagged in the task of compiling tariff
bill to secure bigger revenue to the
treasury, which is 10 be discussed dur
| ing the extra session of the Fifty-fifth
congress that will be convol1ed soon af-
ter the installation of the president
elect. And we are now assured on unim-
peachable authority that reciprocity
is to be one of the leading features OF
the new measure. Now, while reciproc-
ity is very pretty arrangement in the
abstract, as well as in any individual
case, it often happens that it is an
utterly inequitable system of doing
business.
1t looks well, for example. to say
that the United States government ex-
poets to have reciprocity with Ger
many; if she admit free of duty our
pork, canned meats, ETC., which she has
been treating quite scurvily, we shall
admit her wine and sugar free of duty.
The arrangement may be completely
satisfactory and equitable in so far as
Germany may be regarded as one in
dividual national entity, and the United
States another individual national en-
THY. But if we look at the matter q
little more closely, the equitable look
of this much-lauded reciprocity will
take on quite different appearance.
The arrangement that Germany shall
admit American pork, canned meats,
ETC., free of duty within her borders is
very delightful arrangement for the
millionaire pig-stickers and packers of
Chicago. 1t will give an enormous clip
to their business, and will help multi
ply rapidly the millions they have al
ready. But in order that this reciproc-
ity should be strictly equitable, the
pig-stickers and packers of Chicago
should give up some advantage which
they already possess in return for the
big additional advantage which they
foresee coming to them. No other kind
or class of industry in the United
States should be punished, or be made
to pay, for the benefit which the re-
ciprocity will confer on the hog-killers
of the west.
But the popularity of the proposed
reciprocity is that the hog-lillers arctic
get the benefit of it, and that the wine
growers and sugar-growers are to be
made to pay for that benefit And it
will be admitted that reciprocity of
that sort is not equitable. Hawaii's
sugar is already admitted into the
United States free of duty; and, IL Ger
many's enormous crop of beet sugar be
also admitted free of duty, as is serious
ly proposed in the reciprocity clause OF
the coming tariff bill, the sugar plant
crs of the United States will inevitably
be ruined.-New Orleans Times-Demo-

THE TARIFF HEARINGS.
Developments which Are Not Pleasing Tor
the Republicans.

~N'~~~~~~FN
the Republicans.
There is manifest dissatisfaction in
republican circles over the develop
ments in the tariff hearings in Wash
inpton. 1t is clear that the witnesses
who were heard were not swayed by
the slightest interest in the general well
fare, but by a consuming desire in each
case to see that "No. 1" is not
neglected. The New York Morning Adj
vertiser says that "the only persons
who can read the testimony given so
far with any great degree of satisfac-
ton are the saturnine free traders, who
hold as a matter of faith that pro-
tective tariff is simply an aggregated
iobbery of all the self-seeking individu-
ais of country who can get the ear Of
the. government. With scarcely an ex-
ception, every witness heard during the
first two sessions has frankly admitted
that he wants the present tariff raised
merely to increase his own profits in
business, without the slightest concern
whether such change would increase
or diminish the revenues of the govern
ment."
It may be said that when protection
organs find fault with the tariff goings-
on at Washington, the public is justi-
fed in protesting against the proceed
ings. Everybody knows, of course, thnt
very handsome sums were paid for pro-
lection, and everybody expected that a
good deal of it would be demanded in
return for the cash that was generous
ly paid in advance, but the programme
of the tariff hearings is none the less
objectionable to a patient and long
suffering people. Commenting on the
spectacle that is now presented Mt the
federal capital, the Morning Advertiser
says: '"This truly is not an exhibition
of very exalted form of patriotism,
nor one that advocates of a reasonable
degree of protection to American labor
can view with pride or pleasure. 1t In
not likely that the country will view
any legislation shaped to reflect it with
other feelings than those of resent
ment."
This is republican view of the pro-
ceedings that are supposed to lead up to
the tariff bill that win be framed for
to the Fifty-ffth congress
in extra session assembled. 1t is hard
Iy to be wondered at that the people
are looking forward to the future with

MY MOTHERS FACE.

There is a face that meets me everywhere.
With trace Of gladness, mingling lines of
care,
And over all calm and peaceful mien-
An index to the treasures there unseen.
The eyes named songs of love, long tried
and true,
Within whose depths there fingered hints
of blue,
Stolen from far-on surnmer-tinted skies,
With CLEAN OF mist where Iimpid fountains
rise.
The cheeks told tales of gardens. rich in
bloom
With fitting shadows woven in the loom,
Like blossoms Of the spring-time orchard
But that her face was sweeter far than
these.
The lips gave titles to life's simple tales,
And whispered meanings that the heart ex-
hales,
Turning their warmth and freshness to my
own,
With love in every tender glance and tone.
All her fair features told of that within.
The beauty of life that sought to win,
Among the chosen friends who knew her
worth.
An honored place among the loved of earth.
This treasured index has been lost to me,
Except in memory; but in dreams / see
Where fingers still a touch of deathless
grace.
The Iash-fringed curtains at the window
pane,
Death has drawn close, ne'er to withdraw
again:
And yet there lives within my memory still
Something that death has not the power to
kill.

Gold.

PRETTY QUILTS.
a Fine, Comfortable Cover Can Be Made
ut Home.

I a
| at Home.
The provision of plenty bed covering
| as the weather wakes colder is quGs-
ton that perplexes the housewife, espe-
cially those who must consider the
question of economy, both in outlay in
purchasing and space for storing un-
used articles in warm weather.
There are always to be had handsome
comforts in silk and fine satin, with
down interlining, very cheap, but when
the cheapest price is dear to those who
have not the sum to spare some other
method must be thought of.
An ingenious woman and a good
housekeeper has solved the problem
very satisfactorily to herself, and in a
very dainty manner. Enough cheese
cloth of pink, blue and white was
bought, and also sufficient zephyr wool
of each color, and white cotton bats to
fill each comfort very full and fluffy.
Seam the cheese cloth into the desired
size, lay the cotton on smoothly and
then the other side.
Begin in the center and tie the tufts
of wool at the desired distance apart
A very pretty way is to tie diamond in
the middle, then a border as wide as de-
sired about the edge. If tied very spare
ly it will be much lighter and softer,
also very much prettier.
When all has been tied turn in the
edges and catch with buttonhole stitch
all around.
A very pretty one is made of pink tied
with pale blue, or blue tied with white
wool, or a deep cream tied with baby
blue.
Such comforts are very light and
warm. easy to make and cost very little.
They can be used two or three seasons,
then recovered, the same cotton serving
for many covers. Where there are chill
dren small covers and squares made
after this fashion are admirable for
the crib or cradle or to use upon the
lap when caring for the infant.
Such comforts are very light and
warm, easy made from a remnant of
silk or eiderdown. The down was a
pale rose pink, the silk apple green.
The silk served as the lining and was
caught to the down by large irregular
spider web pattern in several shades
of very narrow green baby ribbon. A
double frilI of the silk and a frill of
lace finished the edge of this dainty ne
cessity for either carriage or cradle.
Very fine French sateen can be used
in the place of silk and pretty service
able little comforts made. These have
the added recommendation that if the
work is done carefully they will wash
very well.-St. Louis Republic.

Great GIuttons.

A southern California baby-burrow-
ing owl, five weeks old, eats half its
weight of raw beef at a single meal,
and does not suffer in the slightest de-
gree from dyspepsia. It takes three
square meals of this size daily, and even
then appears to be hungry at bedtime.
An observing physician believes that
valuable digestive aids for the human
stomach can be extracted from theee
owls of large appetite. which win be
more effcacious possibly than are the
pepsin preparations now secured from
the Intervals of pigs. Should this BE-
lief be confirmed the market for Cali

and the demand for the birds might
warrant the establishment of owl
ranches.-Boston Budget.

RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEFICIT.

Kinley Bill.

Started by the Republicans and the Me-
Kinley Bill.
It is much more important to find
a remedy for the national deficiency
in revenue than to fix the responsibility
charge that it is due to the Wilson bill
ought not to pass unchallenged.
Senator Sherman's memory may not
be so good as it once was, but he can
easily verify the fact that there was
deficiency in the last three months of
the Harrison administration; that in
his last annual report December, 1922
Secretary Foster suggested an increased
tax on whisky to meet the impending
deficit, and that one of his last official
acts February 20, 1899 was to send a
letter to the chief of the bureau of en-
craving and printing directing that inn
mediate preparations be made for
bond issue, and that ''in view of press
ing contingencies" the preparation of
the designs and plates be FASTENED in
every possible manner"
1t is likewise a fact of record that
during the fiscal year of 1894, under
the Mckinley law, the expenditures ex-
ceeded the revenues to the amount of
$69, SOB ,260. This is more than the
deficiency in any year under the Will
son bill. It was $42, s05, 900 in 1895 and
So, 203, 900 in 1896.
The deficiency was started by the re-
publicans when they cut down the reve-
unes over s9O,O0O,000 in the Mckinley
bill and increased the appropriations
more than that in the first billion-dol-
lar congress-. Since then it has been
continued by the extravaganza of both
parties in voting money without regard
