Each lady prepares enough supper for

An Ice PALACE IN MONTREAL
Workmen began this morning to
build the ice palace in Dominion
Square, nearly opposite St. Georges
church. The ice is cut in the canal
near Blacks bridge, and each block
weighs about 500 pounds The total
quantity of ice required will be about
10000 square feet. About fifty men
will be employed in the construction
of the building. There will, beside
the centre tower, be four Others rath-
err lower, one at each corner of the
structure. The main tower will be
100 feet high. All the walls and the
tower to a height of over eighty feet
will be built of solid blocks of ice.
When illuminated the effect will be
grand. Il Montreal Witness.

Hho Knows That Nose?

For this funny experiment sheet
or shawl must be hung across a room
doorway and one half of the company
placed on each side of the curtain thus
formed. All the light must on the
front side where the guessers sit,
A small hole is made about four
and half feet from the floor, nearly
in the center Of the curtain. The
shape of the letter V is the best form
Of the hole, which should not be more
than three inches long.
When all is ready the game is begun
by one Of the persons behind the sheet
thrus,iug his nose through the hole.
The players on the other side then try
to guess the name Of the owner of the
nose, which is very hard to do correct
ly.
When a nose has been guessed, the
owner must come out and join the
guessers; but every one who guesses
wrong must go behind and join the
exhibitors. Each one of the guessing
party must guess in turn, and thus
only one at a time is exposed to the
risk of being captured.
Thus the sides constantly change,
and great fun is made, especially for
those whose noses are so distinguished
as to be easily recognized, and the
game is ended when all have been
gathered on one side of the curtain.

The question whether a person fall
ing from a great height is asphyxiat-
ed by the rapid motion through the
air has recently been investigated by
Arthur Stradling in England, who has
made some experiments in falling.
He concludes that it is improbable
that asphyxiation occurs in such cas-.
es, and that if the person who falls is
ever killed before reaching the ground
it is most likely the result ofa nervous
shock. The career of Sam Patch and
other famous jumpers shows that a
man may fall great distance through
the air without losing his breathing
power, and during the Milwaukee ho-
tel FIRE some of those who jumped
from the windows were yet alive even
after striking the ground. The ropu
lar notion that people who fall from a
precipice or a housetOp are killed by
the descent, appears in view of these
facts to be unfounded.

MnMna The Thnont

About every other person you meet
with nova days is troubled with some
sort Of a throat disorder, and there is
no doubt but what a great deal Of
these troubles are brought on by muf.
fling. The common way of protect.
ing the throat is TO bundle and wrap
il closely, thus overheating and rem.
dering it tender and sensitive, and
more liable TO colds and Inflammation
than before. The practice is very
wrong, and persons would easily see
If they would only reflect a moment.
The children are the greatest sufferers.

and laying the foundation for catarrh
and all kinds Of chronic throat affec.
tons. If the neck is kept overheated
a portion Of the time, when il is ex.
posed, some form Of disarrangement
of the throat will be apt to occur.
The rule in regard to clothing the
neck should be to keep it as cool as
comfort will allow. In doing 30 you
will suffer much less from throat all.
ment than if you are always fearful
Of having a cold air come in contact
with your neck. But if you have
been in the habit of mufIling your
throat, it isn't good idea to leave it
of all at once. Let it be done by de.
grees, until all extra and superhuous
wraps are removed, and you'll find
that you will be better of in the end.
