The Dangers In Iced Water.

Cautions have been issued by the i'm.
perial health Office of Berlin with regard
to the use of ice. Investigation has
shown that the ice of commerce sold at
Berlin contains micro-organisms that
are dangerous to health, and the con-
clusion has been arrived at that illnesses
frequently observed after iced drinks
have been taken have probably less to do
with the coldness of the drink than with
the disease germs contained in the ice.
The public have consequently been
warned to eschew drinks and food which
have become dangerous to health in the
manner suggested. Manchester

A Nervous bridegroom.

The First Presbyterian church was
the scene of very pretty wedding at an
early hour Tuesday morning, the parties
being Benjamin Spence, of West Bridge
water, Mass, and Miss Blanca Verbeek,
of this city. During the ceremony the
groom startled the invited guests by fall
ing in faint. His nervousness agitated
the bride, and it was feared a postpone
ment would be necessary, but at his re-
quest, when he regained his composure,
the officiating clergyman completed the
ceremony. While going down the aisle
the groom again tainted and was with
much difficulty revived, but recovered
sufficiently to take the train for his home
in Massachusetts. - Atlantic City Cor.

Every man, however brief or inglor-
ious may have been his academical
career, must remember with kindness
and tenderness the old university COM
rades and days. The young mans life
is just beginning; the boys leading
strings are cut, and he has all the novel
delights and dignity Of freedom. He
has no idea of cares yet, or of bad
health, or OF roguery, or poverty, or of
to-morrow's disappointment. The play
has not been acted so often as to make
him tired. Though the after-drink, as
we mechanically go on repeating it, is
stale and bitter, how pure and brilliant
was that first sparkling draught of
pleasure! How the boy rushes at the
cup, and with what wild eagerness
he drains it! But old epicures who are
cut off from the delights of the table,
and are restricted to poached egg and
a glass OF water, like to see people with
good appetites; and, as the next best
thing to being amused at pantomime
ones self is to see ones children enjoy
1t, hope there may be no degree OF age
or experience TO which mortal may
attain, when he shall become such
glum philosopher as not to be pleased
at the sight OF happy uth.-1hackeroy.

Ones best is very variable quantity.
Duties must be done, obligations met,
responsibilities discharged, irrespective
OF our moods and often of our capabili-
ties. When the hour strikes for GER
tain work to be done, we must be on
hand and do it with little regard to
whether we can do it we'll or ill., But
all that is required of us is to do the
best we can at the time; and it is ac-
cepted of a man according to that he
hath, and not according to that he hath
not. The hOuse-mother often rises in
the morning feeling quite inadequate to
meet the requirements of the day. AS
she sees what her children need, and
compares their needs with her ability
to meet them, she can but exclaim,
"Who is sufficient for these things?"
There is nothing for her to do but to do
the best she can, even though ii be a
very poor best. When nine o'clock
calls the teacher to her pupils, not al
ways is she in the best mood for answer
ing that call. But she Is required only
to do the best she can. The student
sits down to hard lesson, perhaps with
aching head, with dull perceptions,
with unretentive memory, and his very
best efforts fail to make him master OF
it. His conscience may give him the
peace his standing in the recitation
room denies. There are some things
for which we may be held responsible
in the matter of doing our best. What
ever that is avoidable by us, and that
robs us of that ability, we are in duty
bound to avoid. We cannot knowingly
and willingly put it out Of our power to
do our best and then complain of the
result or deny our responsibility for it..
Sometimes the very ''stars in their
courses" seem to fight against us. The
skies are clouded, the storm howls about
us, the atmosphere is oppressive, and
our 'environment" suppresses, chokes
us. Even then all we are required to
do is our best and leave results with a
higher power.

A Floating Hotel.

II wonder" said George Hayser at the

waters to cruise or float, whichever term
may be right. l saw 1t before left
Maine. II is an immense and rather un-
wieldly looking affair, and an outside
view is not particularly prepossessing,
but its interior decoration and the ar
rangements for the convenience and COM
fort of guests equal almost any of the
land hotels, except that it lacks the met
ropolitan character of our large city
hotels and has too much of sporting
flavor to suit the average man who is
not Nimrod or Walton. It will be
patronized chiefly by sporting men who
will hunt and fish in southern waters.
To take the place of cabs. which always
stand on the outside of hotels. there are
rows of skiffs, and the umbrella receivers,
instead of being full of umbrellas and
canes, have fishing rods in them.
Undoubtedly many gentlemen will
bring their families with them, so tine
parlors and bathrooms are fitted up as in
land hotels. 1t is slow moving craft,
and | suppose most Of the time it will be
stationary, only moving from place to
place as reports Of good hunting or fish
ing reach the manager. Most of the
hunting expeditions will be made in
small boats up into the bayous and riv-
ers and swamps. The management will
probably be entirely free from the an
noyance Of dead beats and hotel sharps,
for If they should be detected out on the
ocean they might be used as bait for the
fishes. Chicago Tribune.

HOW TO VIEW PICTURES
They May BE Seen More Perfectly with
One Than with Two Eyes.

Although the relief Of solid object is
best seen with two eyes, yet IL is equally
true that vision with one eye is superior
TO two for some purposes, says the
Philadelphia CdH. In looking at an oil
painting, the surface of which is covered
with varnish, the figures and objects
represented appear more distinctly when
examined with one eye only.
The varnsh reflects the light which
falls upon il TO each eye-when both are
open-and from objects in various parts
of the room, therefore, by shutting one
eye a quantity Of the reflected light is
shut out, and the mind then contem-
plates the picture with less disturbance.
All painters are we'll aware OF this fact,
hence they generally examine oil paint
ings under bright light by monocular
vision.
The pictures in a room or gallery hav-
ing sidelights should always be viewed
with one eye closed, the open one being
that which is best shaded from the light.
The light which falls in greatest quantity
on any one eye diminishes its sensibility
to the red rays and gives false coloring
TO the pictures.
A Photographic picture Is seen more
perfectly with one than with two eyes,
1t being plane surface, the one eye is
not so much troubled in adjusting the
pupil while examining the different
points, and, besides. as it cannot appre-
ciate distance SO well as two eyes, the
light and shallow, although on plane
surface, actually appear as II the objects
represented in relief.
There are three kinds Of relief when
we look at picture on plane surface,
such as daguerreotype, viz. ocular, with
two eyes. modoculer with one, and bi-
nocular, when two pictures of the same
figure are combined, as in the stereo-
scope. II we look at any one of two
stereoscopic pictures with two eyes it has
very little relief il we look at II with one
eye, but when we look at the two pie
tures combined in the stereoscope, the
relief is perfect, giving an accurate rep
resentation of the original, If the pic
torres have been taken at proper angles
for two eyes, at about three inches apart,

FAMOUS FIGUREHEADs.
Origin Of the Custom of Putting Them
on Vessels.

William Rush's father was ship car
penter and from his youth the son was
fond Of ships. Often when a boy he
would cut out miniature vessels from
blocks of wood and exercise his artistic
talent in drawing upon boards figures In
chalk and paints. When he commenced
work in this country there was no demand
for the productions Of native sculptors,
consequently TO make living Rush was
obliged to carve prowheads for vessels,
then in common use. BY 1900 he had
attained considerable reputation rs a
sculptor and carver in wood, and time ma
tured his talents.
At an early date in his career his fig
ureheads began to be noticed in foreign
ports. The figure OF an Indian trader
on the ship William Penn was much ad-
m:red in London. The wood earvers
there, Il Is reported, would come In boats
and lie near the ship to sketch designs
OF the fgureheads. This was but few
yenrs after the Revolutionary war.
Another notable prowhead which Rush
carved was the figure of river god for
the ship Ganges. So well known abroad
did his work at last become that the
house of Nicklin & Griffeth, OF Phila-
delphia, received many orders from Eng
land for figureheads to be made by Rush
to adorn ships built on the other side of
the Atlantic. One of the most celebrated
OF the carvings was female figure of
Commerce.
In 1911 Benjamin II. Latrobe delivered
a lecture in Philadelphia before the
Society of Artists. In speaking Of Rush's
figures for the prows Of vessels he said !:
"There is motion in his figures which
is incontrovertible. They seem rather to
draw the ship after them than to impel
the vessel. Many Of them are Of exquisite
beauty. have not seen one on which
there is not stamp Of genius. "-lE.
Leslie Gilliams, in Lippincotts.
