get OFF the walks and give the tiremen
right of way, for it is almost impossible

It requires a considerable amount of philosophy when one is shivering with cold, to take comfort from the fact that this is natures own method of Keeping form of exercise in which the muscles instead of doing their or dinaTy work under the control of the will, are made to execute involuntarily, 8 series of slight but rapid contrae- tions. This has the same effect as any other kind of muscular work in mak- ing the fires of the body turn more rapidly and throw out a greater heat. The unpleasantness of the process is meant, no doubt, as a hint to the own sr of the body to take more effective means of warming himself.

HoAxED A WORLD.
Andres Reported Death the Joke Of B
 Russian Physician.

Andres Reported Death the Joke Of B
 Russian Physician.
 If the statement made recently by 8 St. Petersburg journal is true, the re- port that Andre and his two compaR- ions had been found in a cabin near Krasnoiarsk is the result of a huge joke. It is more than probable. since the investigations set on foot by the Russian government have revealed nothing. that the ill-fated explorer never reached the shore of northern Asia; it is even possible that he is yet alive. The story given out is that a certain Siberian mine-owner, who liyed in the wilds of the steppe, wished to decoy out for brief visit dear friend of his, 6 physician of Krasnoiarsk. He therefore wrote to him that Andre and his two companions had come down on his mine, and that although they wished to keep their presence secret for few weeks, the learned doctor might enjoy their conversation until such time as trey should choose to reveal their presence, and then share the honor of their discoveries. The physician, however. smelt the mouse and replied by the next mail that Andre and his two companions could not have come to the mine-owners house since their bodies had been found in an old cabin near Krasno- arsk. Then followed the description of their supposed death, the details of which. in almost identical words of the physician, the Russian govern ment caused to be cabled over the world. For some reason the mail de- tectives, who open every letter either way, failed to catch the first Andre statement, but did open the report that he had been found by the Toun- gous. Such. at least. is the version current in the capital of the all-om- nipotent czar. It is possible however, that both stories, that of Andres death, and then this explanation of 1t, originated in the brain Of some fertile space-writer. Unless, indeed, the Rus sian newspapers are different from those of the rest of the world.
