locking Backward.

There are many features Of the
present epidemic, or more properly
scare, that remind one of the ante
bellum days, when rumbling stage
coaches aroused US from our mid
night slumbers, and when we ira
versed the dense woodland and
trackless prairies of the Attakapas
in carriages and all manner of
vehicles. Scarcely a day passes
that some belated travellers from
far dis stant points do not stop over
in our town to procure refreshment
for themselves and teams. Some
of our enterprising merchants have
even sent wagons to neighboring
towns for provisions and ice:
On last Saturday evening party
comprised OF DR.. Clarence Pierson,
Mr.. Paul Kramer, and Misses Nell
Blackman and Jeanette Richard
son, arrived from New Iberia, dust
begrimed and weary, but well for
titled with health certificates and
passes. Miss Blackman and Miss
Richardson are residents of Alex
andria and were ON their way to
that point by the overland route.
On the following morning they
procured fresh team and contin-
ued on their journey, while the
young gentlemen returned to New
Iberia. We trust the young ladies
reached their destination, sound
and healthy.

A Story Showing the sympathy and Sim

Twenty years ago the writer, with
her Swear old child, was On her way to
Washington in midwinter Instead Of
reaching that beautiful city early in the
morning, as was expected, the train was
stalled in the night by a terrible biz
gard Aftcr the height of the storm was

snow that buried, not only the rails, but
the whole world apparently. Slowly
and labOriously the locomotive crept on,
and we We're still 200 miles from Wash

in a village where we halted. Men
jumped up to see if there were time to
get d cup Of coffee: nervous and anxious
women clalnOred for tea, and I cried
with the rest, ''Oh, if only l could get
a glass Of milk for my little girl!' I'm
possible, " said the brakeman, who was
passing Though the car; eve shan't be
here but minute.
Paying no heed to his words, gen.
tleman of striking appearance, whose
fine face and head l had been silently
studying, hurriedly left the car and dis.
appeared upon the snowy platform
He'll get left, sneered the brakeman
The train moved on, feeling it's way
through the huge white banks on both
sides The gentleman had evidently
been travelling alone, for no one seemed
anxious because he did not come back
The cars We're hardly in full swing,
however, when he jumped aboard, lit
tie out of breath, busted with snow, but
self possessed and calm, holding care
fully a tall glass Of milk, which he gave
to the wee girl beside me. Ny STAN

not be returned, as we were now thun-

replied settling himself into his seat,
paying no more attention to US. But
later III the course Of the dreary fore
noon he mOtiOned to the little lass to
come to him, which she willingly did.
He lifted her to his side, and with his
arm round her she cuddled up against
him, and for two hours he whispered
stories into her ear, so low that no one
else could hear, but the delight of which
was reflected in her dancing eyes and
smiling lips.
At Baltimore the stranger disappear

from Us leaned over and said, do you

AN INFANT TERRIBLE.
She Made n Man Blush and the Girls
Giggle.

Literal children, or, more properly,
children who take your Gliding literal
ly, are holy terrOrs,' relates a young
man noted for his politeness to ladies.
Il was III a hcrdic the other day which
was much crowded, though no one was
standing at the time. Presently lady
and gentleman got in, and [ gave my
seat to the lady, leaving the old gentle
man standing. Immediately young
lady sitting III one end Of the herdic
called to her little sister, a child of 6
perhaps, who was sitting near the door
at the other end, to come to her and
give her seat to the elderly gentleman.
The child came willingly enough, and
while the sister was reading her lesson
IN manners passenger got out, and 1
took seat. Never let me see you re-
main seated again when people older
than you are standing,' closed the lee
ture, and the child was crowded, half
sitting, half standing, between the old
er sister and the lady next to her: Two
minutes later pretty girl got in, and
of course, as the only gentleman in the
herdic, l gave her my seat. No sooner
had done so than that small terror was
on her feet.
ooh, mistcr,' she said in sweet,
shrill accents, you take my seat! You 8
older than me- And everybody laugh
ed, Of course, trust lot of giggling
girls for that, for the only place on earth
that l could have taken a seat was on
the sisters lap, from which the child
had slid. 1 didn't take the seat, but I
did take to the street and walked five
blocks i'll drizzling rain to get away
from the giggle of those girls. -Wash-

Hadrian's Wall.

Hadrian, in A. D. 1870, built a stone
wall from Bowness, near Carlisle, on
Solway firth, to the river Tyne, near
Newcastle. It was so miles long and
garrisoned by 10000 troops. 1t was
from ~ to 20 feet high at various
points, s feet thick at the top and was
provided with gallery in the rear,
which enabled its defenders to take
their stand with only head and shout
ders visible to the enemy. At every
quarter Of mile there was a castle
with garrison of troops. Beacon lights
and signals We're used and on an at
tack, whether by day or by night, the
news was at once flashed up and down

An Ornamental Structure That Meets Mod

The whole secret Of keeping ice lies
in the building Of a suitable place for
its storage and surrounding it on all
sides, top and bottom with some dry,
nonconducting material. A writer in
American Gardening, who has had to
do with many icehouses, gives the fol-
lowing details, with illustrations, of a
house that will meet all modern require
ments. He says:
An icehouse ought to be built above
ground and near two large trees. The
site should be high and dry. To insure
perfect dryness at the bottom it will be
well to first Of all mark out On the
