ST. LOUIS. Nov. 25.-Dr. Nansen, tho Arctic
explorer, to-day resented in no uncertain man.
ner the Kisses with which the audience last
night received q sighting reference to news
papers. This morni g half a hundred prom
inent citizens. men OF national as we'll as
State reputation, paid him a formal call In &C
cordance with a previously arranged pro-
gramme, and offered him a drive to Shaw's
Garden, q luncheon there, and a view Of tho
famous place.
To the callers establishment. Manager Hurd
rather abruptly notified them that DIR. Nansen
had determined 10 decline the honor. The reason
given was the threatening weather.
When the callers first in the parlors
of the Planters Hotel they were met by Man.
aRer Hurd. who charged at once that tho free
reception OF DIR. Manson at tho High School
this afternoon had detracted from the attend
ance upon the doctors lecture last night and he
showed y disposition to resent the offering of
any further honors.
Prof. G. NJ. Woodward. as spokesman of the
party, said there would bc reat disappointment
attention which had heen arranged with the
free knowledge of the Doctor and his manager.
SO far as he was concerned, he did not think
the High School reception had been unduly ad-
~vertiscd. Prot. Woodward explained to the com.
mittee OF citizens that DIR. Nansen had declined
the Shaw's Garden luncheon, and after some
embarrassed hesitation it WAS voted to omit
that feature of the days programme.
Manager Hurd returned by this time and an
nounced that DIR. Nansen had consented to shake
hands with his callers. 1t was II cool presenta-
tion that followed.

COLD STORAGE.
A Great Variety OF Surplus Products Now
Stored Against Seasons or Short supply.

A Great Variety or Surplus Products Now
stored Against Seasons or Short Supply.
Cold storage warehouses were originally CO.
tablished for the storing Of surplus dairy prod
ucts, butter. cheese, and eggs. With enormous
production these things had been plentiful and
cheap in season, scarce and high out OF season.
Sometimes the production was more than could
be consumed or sold, and then 1t was sacrificed
or wasted. With cold storage the producer
could put away his surplus product to be held
until the season Of comparative scarcity, and
prices were eaualized.
Cold storage for dairy products filled a want,
and gradually its operations were extended to
include other things Of a perishable nature.
Nuts are among the things now taken into cold
storage and SO preserved from worms. Tobacco,
also. 10 kept in cold storage to protect it from
worms. Dried fruits of various kinds are kept
in cold storage; raisins and currants, and apples
and peaches, and so on. Poultry is now a great
item in cold storage warehouses. Thousands of
age every year. The poultry Is Killed in the fall
and winter. after the harvesting Of the crops.
The poultry killing is practically the harvest
ing OF q poultry crop. 1t Is then In good con-
dition. 1t is a convenient season for the farmer,
and the best season for shipment from the farm
storage. Cattle are slaughtering all the time,
and the products marketed daily.
Game at some seasons is stored in largo
quantities.; and fish in great quantities. Pota-
toes are sometimes put into cold storage, and
various green fruits arc regular articles of cold
storage.
Raw furs awaiting manufacture or shipment
have for some time been kept in cold storage.
Manufactured furs are now stored in the same
manner. Some safe deposit and storage com.
panies that store houschould effects provide
cold storage for fur garments, fur rugs, the
mounted heads of animals, curtains. carpets,
clothing. and SO on, for protection against
moths. Cold storage has been established as a

As Christmas approaches the east side candy
vender trebles his stock. This functionary is even
more important to the swarming child popula-
ton of the east side than to the juvenile plutoc.
racy of Fifth avenue. In the latter case he meets
one, in the former both Of childhood's most i'm.
perative demands. For the east side candy store
adds to it's own proper functions those of the
toy shop. When the east side child becomes the
proud possessor of a nickel or even a cent 1t re.
pairs Immediately to the candy store and buys
a"surprise bag containing a present" The
present is some little gim-crack, such as a horn,
whistle. or paper doll. according to the amount
invested, and the luck of the buyer; and herein
the east side child has an advantage over its
eyes shut, and enjoys the excitement of the gam
bier, superadded to the pride of the purchaser.
The supplying OF tho presents to DO in
cluded in these packages is quite an important
industry. The wholesale east side toy stores
usually carry an immense stock OF small paper,
tributed among the candy stores by millions Of
crosses annually. apart from cheapness. which
n present is novelty, for the east side urchin is
just as liable TO boredom as the offspring of the
millionaire. A novelty which is having a great
success just now consists of n little cardboard
doll painted with great brilliancy and adorned
with a jingling tunic OF gold tinsel. Like the
%facture. Very few of such articles are of domestic
make. Next to Germany Austria, England, and
France are the chief purveyors. and no incon-
siderable quantity is imported from Japan.
Apart from novelties. there are certain species
of cheap toys which are always in demand.

TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 25.-John Mcdonald. an
industrious and frugal Sootchman of Armour.
dale, a suburb Of Kansas City. Kan, is receiving
the blessings OF his fellow laborers. He has
figured out an extra hours sleep in the morn
ing, a boon for the toilers who must be at shop

chanical engineer. who keeps a horse TO drive
to his work every morning. This means of
travel Is superior to the street car facilities
afforded by Armourdalc. but there were some
inconvenience attached to it by reason OF the
necessity of leaving a warm bed an hour earlier
in tho morning in order that the horse as well
as Mcdonald might have time to eat and digest
his breakfast.
In the cold winter months this was a very
disagreoable duty. Mcdonald finally figured
out a device that would obviate this thing.
Above the horses manager he constructed a box
with the bottom OF it made in the form OF n trap
