the business is hardly worth taking
the trouble to find out. He began the
business in 1880, and for ten years he
has done a steady and straight-for

CANINE FRIEND IN NEED.
How the Greyhound Rescued the Little
Spaniel.
“Talk about the sagacity of dogs,”
remarked Jenkins us he scornfully sur
veyed the records of the good deeds
done by canines in general. “Why, I
saw something one day which beats the
world—something which, in addition
to proving the reasoning power of dogs,
showed also that some of them at )■ t
possess a great capacity for affection lor
their own kind. A friend of mine up
town owns several dogs, among the lot
being a magnificent greyhound and a
diminutive spaniel, the two dogs, not
withstanding the disparity in size, be
ing warm friends. One summer day the
dog catcher wagon was making the
rounds and, as usual, was missing the
curs while corralling the animals which
are well taken care of. It happened that
my friend’s front gate had been left open,
and the two dogs mentioned escaped
into the street just as the wagon turned
the corner. There was a great cry on
the part of the catchers, who grasped
their nets and made a scramble for the
little spaniel, not seeming to like the
idea of tackling the big hound. The
poor little spaniel realized her danger
and attempted to escape. She flew like
one possessed in every direction, only to
be headed off by the men- with the nets
and a score of small boys. She finally
halted, panting, in the middle of the
street, and one of the men approached
her with Lis not. It teemed that the lit
tle thing’s doom was sealed.
“Suddenly there was a fierce bark,
and I he big greyhound camo leaping into
the irowd, scattering the small boys
and tompclling the catchers to take to
the wagon* The hound reached the side
of the spaniel and, taking in the situa
tion, reached down, grasped his wee
companion in Iris Ccpacicus mouth and
was off down ll,e ctieet like a shot. He
didn’t step lot tl.e gate, but with a
greet, graceful leap, was over*thc.-fence,
and then, rtnt’y of positing the spaniel
an the ground, stood wagging his tail,
as if knowing that he had discomfited
their enemies, while the spaniel gam
boled and made the welkin ring with
her shrill barks. If tbat wasn’t a great
thing, I don’t know.”—New Orleans
Timcs-Democrat.
VIRGINIA’S ICE MINE.
It 13 Cue of the Greatest Wonders In
This Country.
One of the greatest curiosities in the
United States, or in the world, perhaps,
is the wonderful ledge of ice which ex
ists, even in the midst of the hottest
summer, in Scott county, Va. This nat
ural icehouse is situated on the north
side of Stone mountain and about six
miles from the mouth of a small stream
known as Stony creek. The marvel is
said to have been known to at least one
of the early settlers, a Mr. Danridge,
who, it is alleged, discovered it while
deer hunting away back in 1830. Ow-
the fact that the land on which
it was situated could not be bought, Mr.
Danridge positively refused to tell of
the whereabouts of the ice ledge, and
only visited the place when it was ab
solutely necessary to obtain a supply to
be used in case of sickness.
The old man died many years ago,
and from, that time until 1893 the loca
tion of Danridge’s ice mine was un
known, the old gentleman having never
even taken his own family into the se
cret.
In the year last mentioned, however,
a party of herb diggers visited the un
frequented region contiguous to Stone
mountain and were fortunate enough to
rediscover the lost ice mine.
During two or three months in the
middle of summer the ice is only pro
tected from the sun’s rays by a thick
growth of moss. The formaticn of the
ice layer is similar to that, of a coal
vein, being thin in some places and
thicker in others, the average thickness
being about four feet. Persons of some
scientific attainments who have visited
the place for the purpose of studying
the wonder say that it has the appear
ance of having been there since the time
of the ice age, which the geologists talk
so much about. Another plausible theo
ry "is that somewher.e beneath the bed
is situated a great natural laboratory
where ether is constantly formed and
expelled,, and that the process of freez
ing is now constantly going on. What
ever view is taken it is one of the great
est natural wonders the state affords. —

Miles on the Indian.
A champion lias risen up for the In
dian in the person Miles.
The Indian fighter the most
earnest and aggressive of Indian defend
ers. This fact and an energetic defense
of General Ouster are the salient points
in the Miles memoirs. In his opinion
the red man has distinguished himself
as diplomat, statesman and warrior and
may be good even while he is alive. In
speaking of Custer, General Milessays,
**l have no patience with those who
would kick a dead lion,” and he attrib
utes the lion’s death in part to general
ignorance throughout the army as to the
strength of the enemy, and in part to
the failure of Major Reno to assume re
sponsibility for the movements of his
forces.—Chicago Journal

ALASKAN SCENERY.
FEATURES CF THE PASSAGE FROM
WASHINGTON NORTHWARD.
rhe Beautiful Day Dotted With Icebergs,
Grandest of All Being Muir Glacier.
The Magnificence of Mount St. Elias,
Giant Sentinel of the Rockies.
In making the voyage northward
from Seattle one has scarcely left the
waters of Puget sound before great
patches of snow are perceptible on the
highest peaks of the colossal range of
mountains bordering the inland pas
sage. These gradually grow larger and
larger as the steamer wends her way to
the north, and soon the loftiest peaks,
both inland and toward the sea, are
seen robed in glistening garments of
purest white. Two days’ travel brings
one well into Alaskan waters, and by
the aid of a good glass and not infre
quently with the naked eye a close ob
server will discern the blue ice of gla
ciers creeping from under the lower
edges of the enow banks. Lower and
lower these descend as the steamer
crawls onward, until the northernmost
point on the route is reached, where
they come down to the ocean level.
Cere, in a beautiful little bay, dotted
with 1,000 icebergs, some of them high
er than the topmost mast of the ship,
great walls of deep blue ice form the
shores, long arms of this ice break from
the mother lode, as it were, and stretch
far back into the mountains, where at
the crest of the range they reunite, and,
running northward, form into a contin
uous chain of glaciers that line that
portion of Alaska’s coast for many hun
dred miles.
This little fairyland is called Glacier
bay, and the most attractive feature is
the Muir glacier, the grandest of all the
group, named in honor of Mr. John
Muir, who upon the last excursion of
the Queen again visited lhe bay and be
held the mountain of'i.j which will
perpetuate his name while time lasts.
In matchless beauty, unparalleled
grandeur and colossal structure it sur
passes anything of its kind on the
American continent. This great mass is
constantly moving, and as it debouches
info the sea huge pieces break froth the
front, and, as thunderbolts from heaven,
they drop into the waters, rolling up
great waves and making a noise like
the booming of heavy artillery. These
pieces float away as icebergs and are
carried many miles to sea before they
finally are ground and melted into their
original fluid state.
Visible to the north and west, front
ing on the sea, are among the grandest
peaks on the globe—Lituya peak, 10,000
feet high; Mount Crillon, 15,900 feet;
Mount Fairweather, 14,708 feet; thence
farther'north sublime Mount St. Elias,
the giant sentinel of the Rockies, towers
nearly 20,000 feet above the ocean that
thunders at its base. How inexpressibly
grand is this hoary headed monster, for
every foot of his sides is in mountain
slope! He bathes his brow in the clouds
and washes his feet in the sea. No hu
man being has ever planted foot on the
summit of this mountain, although va
rious attempts have been made by hardy
explorers. Lying between the sea and
the base of the mountain, perhaps three
quarters of a mile in width, is a level
and thickly timbered piece of land.
From this beach the mountain rises
gradually to the timber line, approxi
mately 1,000 feet. Here the line of per
petual snow begins and the slope grows
gradually steeper. Soon the blue ice is
seen under the snow, an<t« little farther
up the entire face of the mountain is a
glistening mass. This ice extends to
within 5,000 feet of the summit, where
the crowning peak rises nearly perpen
dicular and assumes the form of a lofty
watch tower upon the walls of an an
cient castle. Snow and ice do not lie on
the peak, except on the extreme top, for
the reason that the sides are too steep.
Probably only by aerial means could
the summit be reached, and, even if
that were possible, it is doubtful if any
human being could survive the terrible
cold which would be encountered in
that great altitude. This mountain is
held in great esteem and awe by the na
tive Indian tribes. It is their great
weather prophet, and by certain clcud
signs they know when they can with
safety undertake the journey along the
“ironbouiid coast,” a dangerous stretch
of water running from Cape Spencer
northward to Yakutat bay, along which
distance the mountains break sheer into
the sea.
The entire length of the inland pas
sage, 1,100 miles, is heavily timbered
with spruce, hemlock, pine and both
yellow and red cedar. Great avalanches
of snow have swept c-own the mountains
here and there, and in their track long
streaks of timber have been mowed
down as a sickle would so much ripe
grain. At intervals Indian villages dot
the shores, resting tnost picturesquely
upon narrow shelves just at the edge of
tidewater. These nomads of the north
west spend two-thirds cf their lives out
of doors in their canoes, which are their
only means of travel, and with which
they obtain their livelihood from the
sea. Throughout the entire stretch -es
country travel by land is almost impos
sible, owing to the dense timber and
underbrush that cover the entire sur
face.
I To the disciples of Izaak Walton
these inland waters and their tribu
taries offer everything from the small
oolichaus and herring to monster hali
but, sharks and whales. The shores of
innumerable bays will be found by the
hunter to- contain myriads of ducks,
geese and other water fowl. In the for
ests he xv'ill meet moose, caribou and
-bears in sufficient numbers to satisfy the
most ardent, and the Alpine climber
who has ascended the Matterhorn can
here find mountain peaks whose sum
mits have never yet felt, the touch of an
alpenstock.—Alaska News.
