The Solemn Ice Cutters.

Along the Hudosn River a few miles
south of Albany the big ice companies
are cutting and packing ice at this
season of the year 1t is twilight. and
a wonderful light is over the Cats
kills to the west of our train. The
sky is faint orange in sky-sea of
gray-green, with feathery brush Of
streamer clouds streaking and blow
ing across the heavens. The evening
star glimmers like beacon afar, and

one by one begin the twinkle of lights
in the homes over the river on the
hills beyond. On the ice men drive
their horses with patient gait, drag
ging the scrapers back and forth. and
the big blocks of green crystal float
away to the shoots of the ice houses,
poled along through the narrow canal,
and the gathering twilight makes it a
picture to be remembered
The Ice Cutters Lonely Lot.
Down along the rivers edge our
train goes speeding, and over yonder
on the ice goes a woman skating. Be
hind her she drags a sled, and on it
are two bags OF provisions she has
towed from the village up the river
several miles A mile further along
we see the dim lights in a small cot
tage by the shore of the island on
which are the ice houses of the rich
men; and soon the woman arrives at
her home with her ice-drawn burden.
which has seemed heavier and heavier
as she tugged along, and she sees a
lone light in the window, and the little
boy whom she has left with the baby
cries aloud in his glee, Mama!
Mamar and rushes to her arms while
she, weakened and almost stagger-
ing with exhaustion. takes the little
one up, kisses him tenderly, then
tugs at the bags till she gets them
into the house. Yes, papa will be
home soon from his work on the ice
with the horses. Then he too. comes
along, puts up the tired steeds in the
barn, pushes their feed TO them in the
big wooden trough, and almost crawls
into his home-his home and hers
And the baby is still asleep when he
enters, and the wife greets him tend
erly, and says, ''s-h," "Sh." And the
big ice cutter goes over to the cradle
and looks at the little bundle of sleep
ing innocence, and as he goes to a
chair, the little boy cuddles up to him.

and daddy kisses the little one, tired
himself from watching so long with
the baby alone. Then when supper IS
over. and it is only a little bit after
eight, the father dozes in his chair.
and then unhinges himself from his
big wet boots, and from sheer need
OF the rest soon falls into a heavy
slumber, while the poor wife puts the
faithful boy to bed and herself re
t1res-and she does not see her man"
again till the next evening, for he
needs must be up and off with the
horses again before it is vet break

Happiness on a Cold Day.

Down in hole in the street up to
his armpits, the thermometer at
twelve above, we see a strapping
young man clad in working garb,
thump, humping, away with heavy,
cold, humping, stamping the dirt
around gas and water mains, while
another poor devil on the surface
shovels it inland they sing a song
of cheer in unison as the one lifts the
maui, and the other shovels in the dirt.
Ten hours day they shovel and
pound, shovel and pound, shovel and
pound! Passers by hear the music of
their voices and some of them wonder
if they can be happy in their lot?
Happy? Did the rich merchant ask
this as he went by? He saw them.
But he has his own worries, too. He
isn't thinking of the poor fellows
filling up the hole in the street He
is wondering if trade conditions will
warrant his tiding over the depression
in the market? He is thinking of how
many of his faithful old clerks he will
have to discharge if things don't
change soon.

When Surgery Was Cruelty.

The extreme clumsiness and cruelty
with which operations were performed
even subsequent to the fifteenth cen

Buyind a Doq.

Buying a dog is not so easy rs 1t
looks, there is so much taking" A
good Irish terrier, for instance, should
have a stiff, wiry coat, a pronounced
red color, Il long, narrow head, small
eyes and ears which hang down. Ihe
ears of bull terrier, an Aberdeen
terrier or Yorkshire terrier should
stick up. But be careful that the willy
dealer has not produced this effect
with cardboard A bulldog should
have shovel shaped mouth, with the
under jaw protruding upward, and a
wide chest. There are one or TWO
things to lock out for in buying dog.
Some dealers try to palm off an old
dog as q young one by scraping his
yellow teeth, which show signs OF age,
and painting his gray muzzle. Br1gh,
eyes are often produced by smear
OF vaseline and cold nose produced
by Stockholm tar. But you can detect
the presence of these aids by SMELL

Birth of Aeronautlcs.

It was on Aug. l, 1767, that the
Scotchman Black Of Edinburgh filed
a little bag with hydrogen gas and
watched it rise to the ceiling OF his
room, and It was right then and there
that the science of aeronautics was
born. Cavendish had only little
while before proved that hydrogen gas
was about eleven times lighter than
common air, and 1t occurred to Black
that, such being the case, a light bag
inflated with it would ascend. The
experiment in his room in Edinburgh
showed that his surmise was correct
It was not long after Black made
his demonstration that Montgoiiier
sent a silken balloon up into the heav-
ems and watched it careening through
space, and the following year, i'5''

A cIa,,ee In NapoIeon's Will.

Peter the Great is said to have made
q will in which he eXhOrted his heirs
to approach as nearly as possible to
Constantinople and toward India, bu'
the authenticity Of this document has
been disputed, and it is shrewdly sus'
pected to have been forged late in the
eighteenth century by August Won
KotZebue.
Of the genuineness, however, OF the
last will and testament of Napoleon l.
there can be no manner Of doubt. One
Of its clauses was as vindictive as the
testamentary injunction of Queen Aus
trigilda to her husband to have her
two doctors killed and buried with her.
The exile of Longwood absolutely be-
uueathed 10000 francs to a fellow
called Cantillon, who had been tried
in Paris for an attempt to murder the
Duke Of wellington. The man was
still surviving In Brussels when Ma
poleon Ill. came to the throne, and
Cantillon was duly paid his legacy.
