WASHINGTON ICE HOUSE

A Lady Travellers story of . visit
to Mount Vernon.
s'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 mixed company in the din
ing-car, en- route to Washington. The
speaker was very positive gentleman,
physician, who had peremptorily or
dered 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 Wash
ington, Jefferson, the Adamses and
Lincoln in his young days. Their di-
gestion was not spoiled by ice. Imag-
inc George Washington drinking ice
water! Thank heaven, ice-houses were
then unknown"
81 sincerely beg pardon" interrupt
ed a lady sitting at the table across
the car-aisle. George Washington had
an ice-house."
II am sure you are mistaken" cried
the enemy of ice.
II am equally certain that 1 am cor
rect" rejoined the lady, laughing; "for
the best of all reasons; / once fell
into it!"
BY this time the attention of the
whole party was enlisted in the discus
sion.
"It was when 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 steam
er to see Mount Vernon.
what a day that was for me! We
peeped into every room, corner and
nook OF the Washington mansion, vis-
tied the weave-room, the dairy, the
fower-garden, the greenhouse and
even the stables, everything. And of
course we had gone to the tomb of
Washington on our way up from the
steamer landing, both the old tomb and
the new tomb.
when at length the bell rang to call
us back to the steamer, five or six of
us ran to the brink of the declivitE
fronting the river, for hasty glance
at the water view, which showed beau
tifully through the trees below.
Suddenly, while looking off, found
myself on the very verge of a deep
pit in the side OF the steep bank, and
before was aware, the turf and earth
fell away under my feet. In moment
I had slid down for at least 80 feet
into wet, awfully dirty place, sort
of cave, which, however, opened out at
the bottom.
II was not much hurt, but shocking
ly muddy; and my companions
rescued me at the orifice below amidst
shouts of laughter.
"The superintendent, who had been
attracted by the outcries, told us that
l had inadvertently fallen into George
Washington's old ice-heuse! and that
the family were accustomed to store up
q supply of ice in this pit for use dur
ing the heats OF the summer months.
"The place where fell in is now
occupied 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 remained nconvinced.-Youth's
Companion.

Drought and Desolation.
The early cofiquerors Of this country
and their followers of today have been
very wasteful and careless In the dispo-
sition ofs-their forests. with the result
of aoeelerating the date when they will
be compelled TO face q problem of forest
preservation = at considerable cost to
themselves Denizens of the northwest
are familiar with the rapidity with
which the valuable timber areas have
been denuded, until now there is scarce
~ g Observation-Disclosures between Ar
kansas and the Canadian line. Many
notes of warningsaaeoomp this de-
struction of the northern soft wood for
ests, but they fell upon unwilling ears
Only after it was too late tosstop the
mischief did the country begin to recog-
nize the Indirect value of forests to agri-
culture and that no high degree of CIV
ilization can exist permanently wit j.
out some systematic and adequate forest
management. In India the destructi N
of the forests commenced 1000 years
ago, and that country; having at last
seen the folly of such waste, is now en-
gagged IN The expensive undertaking of
reforesting large areas.
The effect upon rainfall and the pro-
'ductireness Of the cultivated tracts has
already been acknowledged by investi-
gators. When Cortes first saw the val
ley Of Mexico, it was covered with
woods, not dense, but abundant, from
the timber line on the volcanoes down
to the waters edge. The reckless cut
ting down Of the. forests by the Span
iards III the first century following the
conquest in 1921 increased evaporation,
.oaused the lakes to dry up, led to fre
quent droughts, followed by occasional
foods, and changed the climate Of
Anahuac.
Any old rancher will tell stories Of
streams that flowed when he was boy

They all claim that the. tablelands had
timber in considerable quantities. where
now there are barren deserts.
s This government has taken some steps
in the matter, but 1t is also necessary
for the landowners to- assist in this

them for few years until they have
taken good root. BY using good judg
ment in selecting the trees. and in plant

townsmen. He took part in all that
pertained to the prosperity of his town,

seemed beyond human endurance, from
AN injury to the knee which at first was
slight, but with ali of his suffering and
amputaton of leg, he was patient and
hopeful. The unceasing thoughtfulness
and kindness of his family and neighbors
was great comfort to which he often
referred. Funeral services were held at

conducted by Rev. Mr.. Chapman aud

a wife, two sons, two daughters and one
little grandchild to mourn their loss, all

The army bill having passed the
House, Saturday, President Mckinley
issued his proclamation calling for
volunteers to the aggregate number OF
~, 900 to be apportioned as far as prac.
ticable among the several States and
territories and the district of olumbia,
according to population, to serve for
two years unless sooner discharged.
The quota of the New England States on
the basis of 900 is as follows:
Massachusetts, 4721; Maine, 1856; New
Hampshire, 752; Vermont, 633; Rhode
710; Connecticut, 1907.
The War revenue measure introduced
in the House, Saturday, lays tax on
beer, ale and fermented liquors of 81, an
increase of one dollar above the present
tax; an increase on tobacco and snuff to
II cents per pound, and on cigars to 81
per 900 ON cigars weighing more than
> pounds to the 1000 and 81 per
thousand on lighter ones, also increas-
ing the tax on cigarettes. A S500,0OO,-

The Spanish authorities are now
obliged to keep half an eye at least, out
upon Don Carlos. The present Don
Carlos was born in 1S4S, and is a nephew
of Count de Montemolin, who was son
of Don Carlos, who died in 1855, he hav-
ing been the son of Charles " of Spain.
In 1888 on the accession of his niece
Isabella to the Spanish throne, Count de
Montemolin asserted his claim to the
Spanish throne and it has been repeated
ly made since by his legal successors.
Carlist revolts have occurred in 1884,
1889, 1872 and even SO late as 1876.
Another may be expected should any
weakness in the present ministry take
place.
A dispatch to London paper from
Barcelona, Spain, states that grave APP
prehensions are entertained in the high
est government circles that the issue of
war may be decided by reserves of coal
and victuals, of which Spain has made
but scanty provision in Cuba. 1t APP
pears that in respect to coal they are in
comparably worse off than they have
hitherto imagined. Spain, believing to
the last that peace would be preserved
through intercession of the Pope and
the powers, neglected to lay in sufficient
coal Bes de this, it is believed they
never once inquired of the British or
other neutral government whether coal
would be regarded as contraband of war.
The result is said to be state of things
which may be fraught with unpleasant
surprises and bring hostilities to pre-
mature end.
