She blushed very much at seeing them, and so did Hickory, Dickory, and Dock at seeing her. Dock stared rudely at her as he passed. Dickory looked another way, and pretended he did not see her. But Hickory said: "Oh, Miss Glossyfnr, I am so sorry we have all failed, for it is not only a loss to us, but to your friend the clook, too." "Well, Mr. Hickory, said Glossyfnr, "if you really wish to help the dock, you can always try again." "And if I should be so happy as to sucoeed," exclaimed Hickory, "may I still hope for your consent to our being husband and wife?" But Glossyfur blushed again, and only answered that she would see. The fact was, that though she wanted to marry Hiokory, she did not at all want to marry either of his brothers. "What nonsense, Hickory 1" said Dock. "You surely are not going to take any more trouble for the sake of suoh a silly mouse as Glossyfur? I wouldn't, even if sho asked me." "No, indeed, Hiokory," said Diokory. "I am sure she is not worth running suoh dreadful risks for. Why, I believe it would be the death of me if I were to try agairi. I have not got over it yet" "I don't agree with you, and I mean at any rate to make one more trial," began Hickory, when the clock interrupted him with: "Crrp I Only two minutes to one." "Then I am off," said Hiokory; "so please, brothers, let go my tail." And whisking it away from their hold, the mouse ran up the clock. Out came the cuckoo to meet him, and with two great bites he gnawed the needleful of cotton in two. "Cuckoo 1" cried she, triumphantly, clapping he...

Fruitless, however is the warfare of the ice-king when pitted against the skill and ingenuity of man, and in the end the latter is victor over inanimate nature. True, he is forced to abandon his boats that lie dismantled on the shore; but he has long since learned to tame the free and varying wind to his service, and in place of plowing at a slow rate through the water, to glide with tremendous velocity over its frozen surface. The ice-boat is found in almost all parts of the world in which ice exists for part of a year, being employed in some cases for commercial purposes; but the principal nse to which this curious craft is put is for racing and pleasure-sailing. In its crude form, a framework or platform mounted on skates and rigged with one or two sails, it is found in Northern Europe, in Asia, in Canada, and in that portion of the United States north of Mason and Dixons line; but in parts of the latter countries only has the modern ice-yacht reached its full development. In Canada, in the Eastern and Western States, and, above all, in the vicinity of New York, it has emerged from its primitive character into a structure that in its way is a perfect example of engineering skill, a combination of strength and lightness that it is hard to improve upon; and in these places, also, the pastime of ice-yachting has come to be recognized as one of the most fascinating of Winter sports.

Naturally the most important works in sculpture are placed around the Grand Basin. In front of the Administration Building stands MacMonniess beautiful Columbian Fountain. It is of such extreme delicacy and distinction as to remind one, in spite of its size, of the elaborate chasings of the old master goldsmiths. Perhaps MacMonnies aimed at this effect. Very lovely is his idea. Columbia, high on a barge of state, is rowed by eight young goddesses, typifying the arts and sciences, steered by Father Time, and is escorted by sturdy outriders mounted upon sea horses. It is paying Mr. MacMonnies a high and well-deserved compliment to say that his lovely rowers remind one, in their forward movement and in the clinging grace of their draperies, of the unapproachable beauty of the Victory of Samothrace. Time and the outriders are worthy companions to these charming creatures; the sweep of their long, supple oars gives a good breadth to the base of the group; but alas! the Columbia, who should be the crowning glory of the whole, is its least satisfactory feature. She sits partially nndraped in a chair that is too big for her. She has a bold, arrogant, self-satisfied air, and somehow her sitting attitude emphasizes her nudity. She has less of dignity, less of modesty and less of beauty than her attendants. t At the opposite end of the Basin Daniel Frenchs Republic rises from the water to a height of 6o feet. Daniel French, it will be remembered, was medaled at last years Paris Salon for his fine Death and the Sculptor, a rare if not solitary instance of the bestowal of such an honor upon a work executed iu America by an American, and entirely uninfluenced by French ideas or instruction.
