BEAUTIES OF A GLACIER.
Scenes That Are Likened to Visions
of GloriGcd City.

Scenes That Are Likened to Visions
of n Glorifcd City.
The fascinations Of glacier are as
witching as they are dangerous. Apos-
tolic vision Of crystal city glorliled
by light "that never was on land or
sea" was not more beautiful than
these vast ice rivers, whose onward
course is chronicled, not by years and
centuries, but by geological ages, says
a British Columbia correspondent OF
the New York Post. With white DOM
ed show cornices wreathed fantastic
as arabesque and with the CLASSY
walls Of emerald grotto rejecting &
million sparkling jewels, one might be
in some cavernous dream world or
among the totterng grandeur of an an
cient city. The ice pillars and silvered
pinnacles, which scientists call seracs.
stand like the sculptured marble or
temples crumblnG to ruin. Glittering
pendants hang from the rim Of blush
chasm. Tints too brilliant for artists
brush CLEAN from the turquoise Of
crystal walls. Rivers that flow through
valleys Of ice and lakes, hemmed in by
hills Of ice. shine with an azure depth
that is very nfnity's self.
In the morning. when all thaw has
been stopped by the nights cold, there
is deathly silence over the glacial fields,
even the mountain cataracts fall noise
lessly from the precipice to ledge in
tenuous, wind blown threads. But with
the rising Of the sun the whole glacial
world bursts to life in noisy tumult.
Surface rivulets brawl over the ice
with a glee that is vocal and almost
human Tie gurglc CT rivers flowing
through subterrancan tunnels becomes
a roar, as of a rushing. angry sea, ice
grip no longer holds back rock scree
loosened by the nights frost, and
there is the reverberating thunder Of
the falling avalanche.

WANTED A RECEIPT.
The Old Lady Insisted Upon FolIcwa
in- Instructions.

The Old Lady Insisted Upon Follcws
ing Instructions.
The old lady was not used to travel
ing on the Broadway cars. She had
evidently spent her youth and middle
age in the rural regions, but doubtless
she called old Ireland home. The con-
ductor, who differed little from the
rest Of his kind, came through the car
calling for fares. The cid woman held
out her hand, in which a nickel was
tightly clutchcd, then drew it suddenly
back as if she had made some mistake.
II want my 'rcsatc' first" she said in
q rich Doolian dialect.
The conductor paid 10 heed; but,
holding out his hand. demanded, Fare,
please"
but want my 'rcsate,'" she repeat
ed
"No receipts, lady" said the stoiid
conductor. I'll have to have your
fare"
My son told ne not to give up any
money without getting a 'rcSate,'' iE-
sisted the old woman stoutly.
The kind lady with the sweet face
and Paris clothes proffered the assur-
ance that it was call right" that no.
body got receipts.
"See, pay my fare without one,"

Made Up For Lost Time.

When President Kruger sailed for
England some years ago, he was the
object Of much concern to his fellow
passengers on board the liner from
Cape Town, many Of whom were con-
sumed with curiosity when they no.
ticed his absence from the dinner table
for the first four days out.
On inquiry they found that the care
full Transvaaler spent the dinner hour
on deck, where he ate biltong and bis
cults. When asked his reason. he tes-
tily replied, q have no money to fool
away on expensive eating, like you
Englishmen."
The correspondent who tells the story
and who was on board at the time
ADDS, "You should have seen the old
man trying to make. up for lost time
when it was explained to him that his
passage money included his meals on
board"

A Skeleton In Every Closet.

The expression There is skeleton
in every closet is said to have its
origin in the fact that soldier once
wrote to his mother, who complained
of her unhappness, to have some sew
ing done for him by some cne who
had no cares or troubles. At last the
mother found a woman who seemed
to have 10 troubles, but when she told
her business the woman took her to
closet containing a skeleton and said:
Madam, l try to keep my troubles to
myself, but every night I am COM
PEELED by my husband to kiss this skel-
eton, who was once his rival. Think
you, then, can be happy"
