A Teapot M9nOmaniac,

There was at Faatka, Florida, re-
Gently a man OF about forty winters,
who was an object of pity, and yet with
all that was somewhat amusing. He
was sane on all subjects but one, at
times imagining himself a teapot. He
could put himself into the shape of a
teapot by rounding one arm to represent
the spout and the other to represent the
handle. While in that shape he became
very uneasy if anyone came near, fearing
they would break off the han lie orspout
He would not speak, but would make a
danger signal with his mouth to repre-
sent the escaping steam. Then he would
walk around, sway to and fro among
those about him, fully satisfied that he
was a teapot.-NeO York Graphic.

Frozen Food From Alaskan Glaciers.

A tale comes from the far north,
above the Arctic circle, that mammoth
carcasses are found frozen III the ice,
and that the Alaska Indians chop them
out and feed the meat to their dogs.
These carcasses are as well preserved as
ii killed but yes erday, although they
have lain for who knows how many
thousand years in solidly frozen state.
Undoubtedly these animals existed cocval
with the glacial period and were in
digenous to tropical climate; there
fore we must reason that all this period
came on almost instantancously, all liv-
ing animals were killed by the extreme
cold, and before their flesh could putrefy
it became frozen. - ChicnGO NsoS.
