Humanity's manifold freaks are
dwarfed by the appearance Of a man in
sensible to the differences of heat and
cold. His name is Silas G. Litchfield,
and for thirty-five years he has lived
in a temperature averaging thlrty-slX
degrees above zero. In all those years
Mr.. Litchfield has had seven days va
cation. The rest of the time he spent
in q subterranean refrigerator.
This frost proof being lives In Bos-
ton, Mass. Mr.. Litchfleld, the frost
proof man, has the reputation OF being
of the strongest mel physically
that was ever known about h mar
ket. In discussing himself, Mr.. Litch-
field said
MY name is Silas @. Litchfield. 1
am sixty years old. For thirty-five
years l have worked in this celler, dur
ing which time | have had only seven
days vacation, and during the last
twenty-six years only n day oil,
when | attended the firemen's muster
last year. In my early days | was sup
| posed to be the strongest man physlc-
ally hereabouts, and carried the
largest OK and hog that ever came into
the market. | am the only man who
has been seen to take a barrel of beef
weighing 400 pounds, walk up the
stairs and deliver it across the street.
| have coopered ten barrels in less than
eleven minutes right in here. ! come
to work at half-past three a. m, and
continue to cut beef, with about two
hours out of the refrigerator for meals,
until five O'Clock in the afternoon.
"How do / like it? Why, | would
rather be in there on a hot day than
outside sweltering. I'm acclimated,
and think no more of coming here to
work than you do OF going into your
Office. Amt [ ever sick? Why, bless
you, I've never been sick q day in my
life, and never have a pain or ache. l
can either go in or come out with inn
punity, and never feel the slightest
| difference in the two extremes.
81 can go from an atmosphere of 100
degrees into my thirty-six degree ice
box and don't feel any difference from
what you do going from one room to
another. In fact I've got no feeling
as far as hot and cold is concerned"
Mr.. Litchfield's employer speaks in
the highest terms of his employee,
and saiu that at one time Silas Litch-
field was considered the strongest
man in Boston. His insensibility to
cold is due entirely to his long life in
the refrigerator .-NeW York Graphic.

mortalsl Local editors cannot make
people break their necks, commit su

that goes to make up material out OF
which the local reporter delights to
weave paragraphs. Furnishing do
nestle news when there is none is
very much like extracting blood from
turnip. 1t is no more than fair that
those who grumble at the local news

whether they could not give the editor

Humanity not Christianity.
Editors and Proprietors.

That man has given more
to the poor than any man in
town now that's what call
being a noble Christian" is
the remark a friend made a
few days ago. This is also a
sample of the opinion Of quite
a large class of people; they
hold that because a man is
benevolent he must naturally
be a Christian. but this does
not necessarily follow. A man
may love the poor. sympathizc
with these in distress, and in
the fullness of his heart re-
lieve the wants OF the paupef.
and yet not be a Christian.
He gives for humanity's sake,
while the Christian gives only
for Christ's sake. Humanity
must not be mistaken for
Christianity. Many noted
highwaymen have given large
ly to the poor out of what they
robbed from the rich. That
they possessed humanity no
one will doubt. but there was
not a particle of Christianity
about them. The virtue in
humanity's gift lies in the
amount given, but the test in
Christianity's gift lies in the
amount that's left Lchind; and
while humanity rcjoices in
having given SO much, Chris
tianity will weep because she
has no more to give. The
gift for humani,y's sake is
good, but TO give for Christ's
sake is better. The Phariscc
who ostcntatiously cast is Of
his abundance palcs into insig-
niflcance before the poor wild
ow who cast in her all.
Says Christ: For the poor
always yc have with you; but
me yc have not always.
Christ first. the poor after
ward. Had Mary given the
money to the poor she would
have done well. but in that
she gave it to Christ she did
better. Had she given for
humani,y's sake, three hun
dred souls would each have
the temporal satisfaction of a
pcnnywor,h of bread; but in
that she did it for Christ $
sake. millions have been cheer
cd and encouraged while
reading Of her devotion and
tenderness to Christ. This is
all expressed by Paul in a
single sentence: Though |
bestowed all my good to feed
the poor, " " and have not
charity, | am nothing TO
feed the poor is humanity, but
charity is Christianity. IIu-
manity is transitory and
passes away, Christianity is
eternal, and, like Il river, is
continually fed by countless
tiny tributaries that, however
small and powcrlcss in them
selves. all combine to form
one golden currcn, that flows
into far more exceeding and
eternal sea of glory.
