Larcest lee cave.

The largest ice cave in the world
Is In the Dachstein mountains OF Aus.
tria. It Is one of a group Of grottoes
discovered not very long ago and not
yet thoroughly explored. The fee
cayo, because Of its unique character,
has. however, been given more at
tention than the others. This latter
is $500 feet long and there are some
enormous and otherwise remarkable
Ice formations. 1t is a rare occasion,
indeed, when ice is not making In
this cave and a cessation takes place
only when a prolonged spell OF warm
rain ~penetrates into these depths,
when the Ice shows a slight tendency
to melt The cave consists Of one
great hall with icy walls and Ice dome
covered with g%rotesque forms. One
OF these halls, for instance, known as
Parsival Dome, is 500 feet In length,
231 feet in width and lie feet In
height which is notable for the re-
markable formations, but the, largest
hall Is known as King Arthur's Dome,
which is $50 feet long, $50 feet wide
and 100 feet high. There is an un.
foreground river OF ice passing through
the cave and Mt its foot Is a lake.
Some rocks found in the river bear
indications Of having been brought
down to these depths from the Cent
raj Alps.

A GOOD LAW

. There is law in some states
we believe by which the real own
r Of white slave houses must afix
his name in big letters to the front
Of the buildings. If there is a bet.
ter statute on the books we don't
know it. 1t is right that the COM
niunity should know who is who.
and what men are fostering evil
and encouraging it by investment
of capital in the bodies and souls
Of men and women, some of whom
might be their own sisters and
brothers. There are cases all over
the country where wner of such
houses stand with their heads in
the highest offices in the commun-
ity and with their feet in mire of
the worst sort. A community is
either better or worse than these
men,. II it was worse we want to
help its morals or get out; if it is
better il should prove it by keep
ing out of its Offices of honor those
who give white slavery it's greatest
aid houses in which to carry on
the traffic.

The HAPPY DAYS

The Philadelphia Record has
some interesting memories of the
happy republican days when it was
easy to get a free meal il you ap-
piled to the proper soup house.
The Record says:
Here is an item fl N the Kan
sas City Times which, distressing as
it is. will, we feel sure, bring joy
and comfort to many republican
contemporaries nov IN a despond-
ent mood:
The matter Of furnishing work
for the many idle men in Kansas
City, which has been under a joint
committee of the board of trade
and the city council, is yet to be
settled. The committee reported
yesterday that it could reach no
agreement covering a practical
Splan.'
We had almost forgotten to say
that the heading over this bit Of
news is, in Kansas City 40 years
ago. and the item first appeared
on December %. 1879. That was
during a republican administration
of General u. S. Grant when the
business of the country YVES pros
trated by the pauic of 1878. Those
we're hard times indeed. A reminis
cent New York stockbroker has re-
Gently recalled the fact that in the
absence of practically all eyhange
dealings he and several of his as
~sociatss were then reduced to the
extremity of book canvassing TO
make a living.
And then there was the panic of
1907 during the administration of
that great and good protectionist
and republican Theodore Roosevelt.
Who can deny that when it
comes to panlcs the G. o. P has
the democracy beaten at least ten
miles as i'll everything else? Truly
those we're happy days of failure,
ruin and calamity. In comparison
this democratic era of tariff and
curren:y reform and normal trade
is poor stuff indeed"
History like this is soon forgot
ten by republican calamity howlers
and it is highly prcper'that they be
reminded Of 1t occasionally. Yet
many of them are so hidebound in
their views that they will dispute
the Record and call il a democratic

Because he belongs to the small but

tie along as a sample to wash by"
said the proprietor.
ut is very difficult to get several
pieces of linen to turn out the same
shade In the wash, partly because they
are not all the same quality of linen.
