A Kind Heart.

A pretty story is told of the German
Empress. During the recent maneuvres
of the army in Westphalia, Her Majesty
was accustomed to drive every day
through neighboring village. There
was a poor old widow in the village
who had been confined to her bed for
some years, but learning that the EN-
press often passed her little house she
made violent effort one day to reach
the window. She failed in her attempt,
but her anxiety to see the Empress be-
came talked OF in the village. and finally
reached Her Majesty's household and at
last the Empress herself. One morning
the old woman heard a commotion at
her door; there was a knock, followed
by footsteps, and then a gracious,
womanly preser &c entered her room, an
a gentle voice said: Il am the Empress,
my friend. am told that you wish to
see me-" Her Majesty sat by the bed
side and talked to her long while, and
left present when she went away.
Kind hearts are more than coronets."

Pleasant Words.

The Vermont Journal of July IA, has
the following item in the Hartland News,
concerning T. J. Chase, who was butter
maker at the creamery here during its
first two years and at one time was EN-
ployed at Trout Brook Creamery at
West Waterford: Brooksde creamery,
T. J. Chase proprietor, has made a re-
markable good showing at the end of its
first year, both for Mr.. Chase and the
patrons. The business from the first
has been constantly on the increase, and
no butter stands higher in market. l..
M. ]. Marcy says, in note to the news
room, Although the price of butter was
not quite as high as at some creameries,
yet by giving the patrons a higher test
for their milk, they received over two
cents per one hundred pounds more for
their milk than at other creameries in
this section" Mr.. Chase is thoroughly
well posted in buttermaking, and his
locating here is public benefit.

The Muir Glacier.


The reported destruction Of the IA
nous Muir glacier. on the shores Of
Glacier bay. Alaska, by an earthquake
last year is pronounced untrue by VIII
liam T. Pearce. who got within four
miles Of the glacier in August Of this
year on the excursion steamer Queen
Pearce says:
'The Muir glacier is just as grand as
ever. The trouble this season has been
that vessels have not been able 10 get
close enough for passengers to see it..
The earthquake shook off large masses
Of ice from the face Of the glacier
which, when floating in the bay, ap-
pear as huge icebergs and block the
passage Of vessels. By next season
the bay will be clear again, and the
glacier can be approached as in former
years.
THE damage by the earthquake ia
but as a drop in the bucket. can bet
ter explain its work by saying that it
took off the face of the glacier for 30
feet or so, while the main body extends
back. visible to the eye, 20 miles The
glacier runs back from It's face on Gla-
cier bay TO the head Of the Davidson
glacier, which faces on Lynn canal.
distance of 45 miles. All this season
Muir inlet has been full of small bergs,
so that vessels, after proceeding as far
as they could were forced to back out.
On the August trip of the Queen the
surface Of the glacier looked to be from
% to 80 feet high. but it is In reality
from $50 to 200 feet high Next year
people will be able to get close to it
and will find It just as large and just
as grand as II ever was"
