NO WoMAN'S PARADISE.
Punch's Correspondent Says Our Men
Should Look More Terrible.

LONDON, February 21.-Punch publishes
letter from the other side in which the
writer. who signs with the name of Blanche
discusses certain American things, ostensi-
bly, from the British viewpoint.
This country" writes Blanche, sis some
times called the paradise of women. and the
name is all right If putting us always in
front and giving us everything, almost be-
fore we ask for 1t, makes our paradise.
But 1t does not. In our hearts, all we
women like to find our master, and we never
like a man so we'll as when he looks ter
rible and shouts. L forbid you to do so and
SOL 1t is such fun then to go and do it.
and that's the joy the American wife does
not know.
Female Columbia, with all her Wanted
perfections would be a nicer and even hap
pier person for occasional spouting and 1t
has been the subconSiousness that she
in my opinion leads to her marrying abroad
so often.
1.-The American woman dresses well, but
she has no national originality in that way
When she is tailor-built. she is Bond street;
when fluffy and frilly, she is Rue de la Paix.
and a translation never has the verve and
force of the original. When Miss Columbia
is pretty, she is all right, with the excep-
ton of her voice, but she isn't prettier any
oftener than girls of other countries, and 1t
is all brag TO say she is. And, pretty or
plain. there is an air about her of. L am
the correct thing in girlhood,' that makes
the European smile.
81 consider the men here to be both better
looking and nicer than the women. I've
met some American boys who are nice and
can make love very prettily although
there's eagerness. strenuousness and worth.
Wilderness that is not quite good form"
Blanche closes the letter with comment
on the prevalency of lawsuits in America
and says half the population appears to be
always going to law with the other half

Arrival of Cargo of Ice.

The first cargoes of ice that come up the
Potomac this year will be consigned to the
Mutual Ice Company of Alexandria, and
will be stored in the big ice house just
erected on the river front there. The four
masted schooner Clara Donnell, laden with
about LOO tons of the refrigenating ma
terial, sailed from the Kennebec river,
Maine, for Alexandria the 22d instant, and
the big schooner Estelle Phinney is now
on the Kennebec loading for that city. A
dredging machine is hard at work deep
ening the dock in which the vessels will
be berthed to unload and Will complete
the work by the end Of the present week.
With good weather down the coast the
Donnell should arrive at Alexandria about
Wednesday of the coming week. The ice
cut on the Maine fields this year is said
to be superior tosthat harvested in several
years past, and, as has been stated, a, full
supply has been obtained. The ice sup
piled to the family trade of Alexandria is
manufactured from artes.an water and is
exceptionally pure. The ice coming to
Alexandria from Maine Is to be used for
icing fruit and vegetable-laden cars enroute
from the south to Philadelphia, New York
and other big cities in the north. The first
cargo of ice for this city win arrive here,
1t is expected, about. the middle Of April,
az the output Of the ice plants will more
than take care oS the demand until that

Stone for Public Building.

The three-masted schooner Samuel B.
Hubbard, laden with building stone from a
Maine port, was brought into port here
yesterday afternoon by the tug Yerkes and
locked to discharge her cargo. The Hub
bard has aboard about 500 tons of the
stone which is to be used in the construcs
ton of one of the new public buildings in
this city. She sailed from Maine about a
month or two ago. and was reported in the
river about two weeks ago. The report
proved premature, however, and the vessel
supposed at the time to be the Hubbard
turned out to be light vessel bound to a
point on the river to load railway ties.
The Hubbard slipped through the capes
unreported by the marine observer at Cape
Henry. and she was well up the river
before her presence was made known
These stone-laden vessels have been un-
loading at Georgetown, but in consequence
OF the ice that has formed above the
bridges during the past two or three days
the Hubbard was not taken to Georgetown,
and will be unloaded 1T one of the wharyes

miles northwest of Hazleton, Pa, Is
running alive with bears, says the
Philadelphia Record. 1t is reported
to be common thing to see a big
bear making his way down the noun
tain in quest Of something to eat. John
Boyle, employed as messenger and OPP
orator at Mauch Chunk, was returning
to his home In rem Junction early
in the morning. when he encountered
a big black bear on the front porch of
bis home. Unarmed, Boyle made no
particular advances but left Bruin to
his own volition. After snorting around
awhile the bear found nothing to Salts
fly his delicate appetite, and, with
disappearing grunt or two, padded OF
to the mountain.
