In the northern United states the snowdrop is the only garden 6ower that we can count on year after year as the earliest sign of spring. Its pen dulous white blossoms. with heart shaped seal of green sung by Rossetti. often appear before the last snow has gone. Luckily. even city families need not be without snowdrops. for they have been known to thrive in narrow passsgeways between tall houses. Most buIbous plants Ike the baking hot sun of midsummer in order to ripen their huibe. but the snowdrop thrives best in partial shade. It blooms earlier if if hss a chance at the March sun. but is one of the very fev that win flower regularly. though less freely. in deoss shade and with q northern expesure.- Country Life In Arerics.

 "All hearts sound alike on these modern shlps.' said the surgeon of . transatlantic liner. Although the hull of the average modern steamer is big ger and supposedly less subject to the violence of the sea. the machinery to drive the enlarged bulls has been in. creased in size. With the increase In the size of the engines there has fol lowed greater vibration.
 Tt Is this vibration which makes it impossible for us 10 read truly the action of the average human heart. have tried repeatedly by all manner of means to overcome the influence of the vibration on the heart, but I find that by even swinging patient in hammock. where the shaking up is not greatly felt the result of tho heart reading is far from satisfactory.
 The first day at sea in this ship on her maiden voyage I had occasion to treat an Englishman who was en route to Canada on business. I was startled to hear his heart. Yet he had the finest kind of cardiac action. as I ascertained once the ships machinery stopped. I have since found 1t to be an invariable rule that the engines vibration makes it appear as though the heart of the average man was 90 Ing to stop before I could get the stethoscope away from his breast.
 "vibration does not hurt the heart any. Do not make the mistake of sup posing that 1t does. It just sounds ss though the end was positive. and while the patients heart Is beating In regular form. the shaking of the ship deceives even the prscticed ear"- Washington Post.

STUDY OF A GLACIER
CURIOUS FEATURES OF THE CREEP
 ING MASS OF ICE.

In the Sumner IL Is Noisy With the
 Voice of Many Waters-Often Cray
 In Color From the Debris Gathered
 In Its Mountain Journey.
 Although we are far removed from the ice age in point of time. the tourist agencies have made it easy for ono who has a week or two to spare and few pounds in his pocket to visit countries where glacial conditions still prevail.
 Probably the first impression of most visitors to a glacier is that 1t is very like its picture. There are the snow crowned mountains. There Is the ice filled valley. There are all the va. rieties of moraine just as the text books depict them. The first impress >sion. however. Is very superficial one. Glaciers are just like most things in this world. When we get to know them we find they are quite different. in some respects, at least from what we expected.
 As acquaintance ripens we nnd out all sorts of little things which the writers of text books doubtless know perfectly we'll. but never thought of mentioning. things which perhaps were so familiar to them that to de- scribe them would have seemed like saying that rain is wet or that snow is cold, but which nevertheless i'll the novice with the pleasure of having dis covered the unexpected.
 One of the things which first struck the writer when he first spent . few days In the near neighborhood of a glacier was to find what . noisy crea- ture 1t was. Somehow one associates with snow and Ice the idea of intense quiet. and no doubt If one climbs high up among the snow on the mountains one will find 1t quiet enough. But lower down on the surface of the glacier there is. at least in summer time. continuous noise.
 The noise Is the voice of many wa ters. All around are innumefabIe ht- tie riyulets caused by the melting of the ice In the heat of the summer sun. These frickle and babbie and splash their sinuous courses for longer or shorter distances. but none % very far before they plunge headlong down one of the numerous Assures or crevssses. Some seem to fall into a larger tor rent far below. OtherS make their vsy into some glacial mill where stones are churned round and round just as one may see In the potholes in the stream at East Linton
 By listening infently one may be able to hear this churuing sound min siing with the voice of the waters. Miniasure avslanches contribute their quota of noise.

 And instanter pipes were lighted. and the room began filling with fragrant blue fog.
 There was a cllnk of a sword heard in the hallway. Its sound brought con sternation. An inspection was on. Be fore the two yearlings had time to think there was rap, and the door YVES thrown open. and in came. not the ordinary second lieutenant inspecting officer, but Lieutenant Colonel Henry NJ. Lazelle. commandant of cadets, and Major General Don Carlos Buell., Unit cd States army.
 Discipline strikes In. The two cul' prit cadets sprang to attention in stantly. heels together. arms hanging naturally and the little fingers where the seams of the trousers would have been if they'd had any trousers on.
 The future artilleryman was clothed in one sock. and in this attire he was one sock the better of his comrade. They stood there rigid The position of a soldier was never better main talned. Commandant Lazelle turned purple with rage at this graceless breach of discipline actually paraded before a major general of the United States army and member of the board of visitors.
 The cadet who one day was to com mand a battery had dropped his plps. The hot bowl touched his great too. and the burning was too much for even . soldiers stolidity, and he emit. ted a very boylike "Ouch"'
 General Don Carlos Buell. took in the spectacle and all the glorious humor of the situation. His grimness was not proof against such . sight as this. He leaned back against . table and roared, and not even the wrath in the commandants face could check his roaring.
 'Come, general,- said the comman- dant; ~let us 90. I shall report these young men for three dasrant viola tions of the rules of the academy" 0Sucfai Ddrn foVAC4 ~ tAfS Boff.y ones and roared again. The comman- dant led the way out of the room. but the cuIprits beard the laugh of Buell. all the way through the hall across the area Of barracks, until finally it came as sort of chuckIing echo from the office of the Euardhouse- The culprits were confronted with the probability of about three month"; confinement to quarters and about fifty toun of extra guard duty as . re- suit of their disregard for discipline. They wers in the depths for twenty four bours. and then the list of ths dsy's deIinquents vas read. and. 10. their names did not appear,

instances appears quite extraordinarily dirty. This does not seem as 1t should be. Snow is one of the symbols of purity. Surely the ice descending from the pure white snow on the mountains should be pure also.
 Yet when we view a glacier from little distance we are often sur prised at the enormous amount of de- bris gathered on it's surface. Besides the central moraine or moraines- often there are several-composed of consid- erable masses of stone, we find finer particles of matter imbedded in the ice all over the surface, often in suf- ficient quantity to give 1t . grayish color.
 All this solid matter has at one time or another fallen upon the surface of the glacier and is being borne along by it as . river bears along the sticks and leaves that fall into 1t. But in the case of glacier we may have cx- posed to view the accumulations of hundreds of years. At the lower end Of the glacier there Is much of inter est. In the first place. there is very often great cave in the ice. and from this there issues the glacier stream. This cave often looks as if 1t ought to be explored, and 1t may be possible to make one's way under the Ice for . considerable distance.
 But let the traveller beware. Expedi- lions of this kind are far from safe. The interior of a glacier may b. stud fed safely enough in the grottoes and tunnels which are carved into the liv- ing Ice of many show glaciers. such as that of the Rhone, but the ice at the debouchc of the stream is in an un- stable condition. Every now and then the cave partially collapses or great masses of Ice fall from the roof. andfn moment an unwary tourist may be trapped or crushed to death. = Edin- burgh Scotman.

A WEST POINT STORY
ODD INCIDENT THAT MADE GENERAL
 BUELL. BREAK A RECORD.

A Ylnarans Breach of Discipline That Was Grotesaue Enough to Make the General Who Meyer Laagbed Roar h spite of His Grinness.
 General Buell., whose timely arrival at Shiloh, some military critics hold, saved General Grant from defeat, was known in the old army as ''the man who can't laugh" General Buell. was not grave merely; he was grim. Yet two yearling cadets at West Point made General Buell. break record.
 It was hot on the plateau above the waters of the Hudson, hotter than the cheek of feldpiece that has been in action. so hot that the leaves on the elm tree shriveled and the feet of the raciug sentries burned from contact with the only paved path on the gov ernment reservation.
 The .plebes had reported and were quartered in two divisions of barracks, , ,he upper class men having been turn Nd out to share quarters with their (tmrsdes in the other divisions.
 AThe June examinations were on. IT. board of visitors. of which Gen era Buell. was a member, had paid its pert ,nctory visits to mess hall. to aca- demi, building and to barracks. It was 10 o'clock in the morning. Two eadets had been thrown by fate and by the arrival of the plebes into the same I'd m of the fifth division of bar racks. ihe thermometer in the shade of the ssardhouse registered % de- xress. I'm the room in which the two cadets wee quartered doubtless 1t stood 10 deArees higher.
 There had been one morning inspec. fiou of qusrte 5 by an army o6icer. and the two year.. .uss. gasping for breath in a room Into Ehich the sun beat with no regard for ca let feelings. had every reason to believe that there would be no further inspections that morning. They had stood the ordeal of the exam inRinr board at Q o'clock. and. with no studies in hand. they thought they were safe until the first call for dinner.
 BY the law of the academy every cadet In quarters was to be in full dress uniform until II o'clock. He was not allowed to smoke. His bedding was to he neatly piled at the head of bis bunk. In other words. the cadet room and the csdefs person were to be properly o. desed and properly arrsyed for inspec- ficp.
