Cen. waahington's Ice House.


"It is ice water, drinking so much ice
water, which is injuring the health of
so many people. The glands of the
stomach are paralyzed. Digestion is
ruined. The whole body suffers from
it,"
We were a mixed company in the
dining car en- route for Washington,
says a writer in the Youths Compan-
ion. The speaker was very positive
gentleman, a physician, who had per-
emptorily ordered the waiter to remove
the ice from his glass of water.
ice is the bane of modern life," he
continued, with conviction. Look at
our hardy forefathers. Look at
our early statesmen; such men
as Washington, Jefferson, the
Adamses, and Lincoln in his
young days. Their digestion was
not spoiled by ice. Imagine George
Washington drinking ice water! Thank
heavens, ice houses were then I'M

the car aisle. George Washington had
an ice house."

the best of all reasons; once fell into

By this time the attention of the

1T was when I was girl of 49," the
lady continued, merrily. There were
ten of us, all young people, save one,
on first visit to Washington, and we
had gone down the Potomac by steamer
to see Mount Vernon.
What day that was for me? We
peeped in every room, corner and nook
OF the Washington mansion, visited the
weave room, the dairy, the flower gar
den, the greenhouse, and even the sta
bles, everything. And of course we
had gone to the tomb of Washington
on our way up from the steamer land
ing, both the old tomb and the new
tomb.
" hSh at AShSLu the DSll rang 10 call
us back to the steamer, five or six of
us ran to the brink of the decIivity
fronting the river for hasty glance at
the water view, which showed beauti-
fully through the trees below.
Suddenly, while looking off, found
myself on the very verge of deep Dit
in the side of the steep bank and be-
fore was aware the turf and earth fell
away under my feet. In a moment I
had slid down for at least thirty feet
into wet, awfully dirty place, sort
of cave, however, opened at the bottom.
Il was not much hurt, but shockinglv
muddy, and my companions rescued me
at the orifice below amid shouts of
laughter.
"The superintendent, who had been
attracted by the outcries, told us that
] had inadvertently fallen into George
old ice house and that the |
family was accustomed to store I'D a |
supply Of ice in this pit for use during |
the heat of the summer months
THE place where fell in is now oc- |
cupied as the site of small summer |
house on the brink of the bluff"
A general clapping of hands followed |
the lady's story, but the opponent of ice
unconvinced.

When at night there's a seething Of
surf,
The grandames look Ger thessurf,
They reckon their dead and their long
years of sadness,
AND they shake their lean fists at the
sea and it's madness,
And curse the white fangs of the surf.
But the mariners sleep by the sea.
They hear not the sound of the sea,
Nor the hum from the church where the
psalm is upIifted,
Nor the crying of birds that above them
are drifted
The mariners sleep by the sea.

The sweet. red lips Of Felicie checked
further speech, as she flung her arms
around the lady's neck, and kissing he's
repeatedly, answered gaily:
All, yes, my fatherI understand.

in Paris, and win never know, for am
sure you viii not tell him. And 1t Is
so refreshing, SO delightful to be free
and wild just little; I'm sure when I
have half a dozen servants at my heels,
as papa always sends me forth, all my
pleasure is destroyed, and have many
a time envied one of our own peasant
girls her unmolested freedom. Say,
now, my darlingest of mammas, do you
blame me, If take advantage of my
fathers absence, and send the trouble
some attendants to their proper
places?"
The dancing, sparkling eyes peered
roguishly into her face, and the coun-
tess smiled, even while she sighed.
II suppose 1t is natural, said she,
yielding, while she stroked back the
glossy waves of hair from the fair fore
head.
"of course it is" replied Felicie,
gaily; mon pere is $3.50 exceedingly
particular, it is most tiresome. Where's
the good of grandeur If it must torment
you all the time? Now that he can't
insist upon our going down to regular
dinner in that huge dining hall, that
looks ready to swallow two people like
you and me, why not ring the bell and
order nice little repast for us here?
1t would be so cosy, SO home like, so
extremely delightful"
The countess smiled still more
brightly, and stretched out her hand
toward the bell.
Felicie few to reach it, and after the
necessary orders had been given, she
threw off her mantle, playfully seated
the countess again in the easy chair,
and drew a cushion of emerald velvet
to her feet.
Nov, mamma, for one of our cosy
talks-what shall it be about?"
Your absence, tonight, ma chere.
What detained you so long, my child?"
Felicie shrugged the white should
ers cleaning so prettily through the
lace cape of her low bodice of violet
silk.
All, mamma, that will be too dismal
a topic Wait till they have brought
more candles. Tell me something
about your girlhood; what you thought,
how you felt when you were no older
than your giddy daughter"
The delicately penciled eyebrows Of
the countess contracted, and weary
look of pain fickered a moment over
her face.
She took up the fairy hands crossed
over her knee and kissed them softly.
81 must say as you do, my love, it
is too dismal for that, while the room is
so dimly lighted. l have received a
letter from your father during your alb
sence. He is to leave Paris in another
week, and he thinks the young Marquis
de Berri will accompany him on his re-
turn hither, and bids me prepare you
for it."
Felicie started, and flood of Grim
son rushed to her face.
"Oh, mamma" exclaimed she, ana
then covering her face with her hands
she burst into tears and sobbed vehem-

BIBLE STUDY
a Great Meeting TO BE Held in Bos-
ton Next Week.

The fifteenth annual internationAI
Bible study conference, which opens 81
East Mortified, Mass, a week from
tomorrow, will be an occasion OF es'
pecial interest, as the result OF a strik
ing address TO his "friends aad fellow.
workers" that has been issued by Rev
Dwight L. Moody. The most famous
of the Worlds evangelists believes
that these are times that are giving
earnest, thoughtful men deep concern
that various conditions are testifyine
to divine displeasure, and that a crisi-
In the national life may be imminent.
In fact, Mr.. Moody believes that pres
mi conditions are very much like those
that preceded the civil war, and thai
the preaching OF Bible truth is the need
of the hour. In the forthcoming COZ
ference, he has rallied TO his
support a roll of emin emit d.
vines from far and near. Among
them are Bishop l. P. Newman; Rev
Drs. H. Q, Mabie, Boston; A. q.
Dixon, Brooklyn; w. j. Erdman,
Philadelphia; r. A. Torrey, Chicago;
II M Sanders, New Yoek; Campbell
Morgan and A. c. Macgregor, London,
and v. d. David and Kali Charan
Banuji, the leaders of the evangelistic
movement in India.
In the national address alluded to,
Mr.. Moody says: "The time has
come for believers In q whole bible, a
divine Christ.and a living spirit to Join
in an earnest and determined forward
movement. Forty years ago God in
his mercy and love called Jul nation
to repentance. This was followed by
a special awakening of the churches
throughout the land. Everywhere the
church was united In aggressive
evangelistic work, and an open sanct-
uary found a large attendance on week
day evenings. P~entecostal power
Came upon ministers and iaYman, and
in a short season over half o million
souls were brought to Christ.
"Many of the conditions which then
existed are now present. Then as now
material prosperity had failed, and low
mutterings and complaining through
out the land foretold a crisis in our
national life. As a nation we have
disregarded Gods laws and been for
getful Of all his blessings. We have
murmured and complained although |
we have been blessed with peace and
health. and with material prosperity
beyond all nations. What wonder
then that vacan pews and depleted
treasures testify to the displeasures OF
God. These things are giving earnest
and thoughtful men deep concern, and
there are not wanting tokens that the
tide of indifference and unbeNef is
turning. The great need Of the hour
is the preaching of Bible truth in the
power of the Holy Ghost"

Budapest has for me an i~nvipoible
attraction. and when on the morrow--a
warm, bright day. was at last permit
ted to install myself in the shade high
up ON one of the balconies Of the Hotel
Hungaria, overlooking tho Danube, /
experienced one OF the most agreeable
sensations that l recall. Here tho ample
breadth of tho stream diminishes the
force Of the current, and the Danube
passes majcstically under tho two i'm
posing bridges, which hide its course
where 1t bends far below beyond the
town with tho Dimensions and the APP
pearanco of q stream opening out into
the sea. In front frowns the ancient and
lofty fortress Of Buda, which formerly
held Hungary abject. and. trembling I'M
der its cannon, and the burg, formerly
imperial, where watched the i~mplacable
eye Of the conqueror. Both fortress and
burg, however, are to disappear forever.
A now royal chateau is going up near
by, which will take the place Of the old
yellow barracks, which serve now as q
dwelling for the king of Hungary in
this capital, finally recovered from the
age long domination Of Austria. Below
the life of the river is unceasing, and
the whole warm, brilliant, animated
picture is most enlivening. Budapest
the very word names an idea which is
big with the future. 1t is synonymous
with restored liberty, unfolding now at
each forward step; it is the future open
ing up before a growing people. Whole
districts OF the capital will one day be
rebuilt and reappear under a fresh as
poet, and this immense meeting point
between the east and the west add
daily to its power and its attractions. -
