SOME FIGURES ON rHEIcEmEn

 Congealed Water Daily

Congealed Water Daily
 From the Philadelphia Record: How'd you like to be the iceman?s Snyder, the calculating barber, was ar tiscally executing a quickstep on the razorstrop when the above little ditty 1oated in from the busy thorough fare, causing smile of contempt to fit across his features. That simply makes me weary" he remarked, as with a flourish he daubed the patrons face. You hear that latest acquisi- ton in the way of slang phrases re- peated by men of every station, just as if the ieeman's lot was an earthly paradise. AS matter of fact, the in dividual who embarks on career which involves the marketing of con- gealed moisture doesn't have to run around searching for his troubles. How many people do you suppose ever think of the amount of money that drips right out of the ieeman's hands when the sun beams down on his heavily loaded wagon? Don't amount to much, eh? Well, you'll change your opin- ion when l bring up few figures for your consideration. Starting out with a ton of ice, estimate that melting alone causes a dead loss of about 100 pounds to the dealer. That doesn't seem much, but when you calculate that about 100 wagons a day right here in town lose that amount the fig ures are amazing. One hundred thou- sand pounds at, say 10 cents per hun- dred. runs up the tidy little sum of S100. Three hundred and sixty-f1ve times $100 gives us the annual loss locally of $36,500. Takes little nerve, doesn't it, to be an iceman? Then if during the summer these drippings could be collected I figure that they'd supply all the hospitals in town with ice water baths for sunstroke patients. Frozen into a solid lump, the entire years drippings would make a cube as big as a ten-story office building. Then, again, the waste when the cakes are cut is enormous, to say nothing of what vanishes into the air when the ice is Whisked clean with a brush broom. But, without going into fur ther details, think you'll agree that the man who peddles ice has enough trouble to worry him into an early grave. Tonic?''

\ Curious Incident.

A curious incident in connection with the late thunderstorm which pass ed over Ireland occurred in the County Monaghan A lightning flash struck a grove of trees in which colony of rocks had established rookery, and killed some four or five hundred birds. Great numbers of horses, cattle and sheep were killed all over the country. Altogether it was one of the most dis astrous storms which has visited the country for a long time

A RARE DOLLAR.
Big Lawsuit Over Its Ownership
 S1,5oo Offered For It.

A Big Lawsuit Over It's Ownership
 St.5o0 Offered For It.
 The New York Evening Post re- ports a euriously complex situation at Racine. Wis, over the ownership of 8 silver dollar of the coinage date ot 1904. It is said that only one of four of tbese dollars ever left the mint, and they are consequently very valuable The dollar in question was given sev- eral months ago by woman whose name. if known, is kept secret, to Lad islar Altmann, clerk in the dry goods store of L. T. Hartnett in payment for goods bought. The woman did not know that the dollar was worth more than it's face value; in fact, she hesi tated about using it at all for fear that 1t was not genuine. The clerk, with out knowing how rare the coin was, recognized it as an odd piece and put 1t into his pocket, handing over to the cashier a dollar of his own. For sev eral months thereafter he carried the 1904 dollar about as a pocket piece. One day he showed it to a friend at bank and was informed that it was worth not less than $500. In order to verify this estimate he sent 1t to co@ buyer in Chicago, who promptly offered $1,500 for it. The clerk still did not sell, having heard that sim liar coin had sold for a still larger sum in New York. But, though he did not sell, he talked, and the story reached the ears of MT. Hartnett, his employer. Mir. Harnett promptly claimed that the dollar either belonged to the funds of the store or to the woman who had rendered it without knowing it's value. He demanded that it be returned and held for the wom- an. If she could not be found he claimed that the coin belonged to him. The clerk claims that he was justified in substituting his dollar for the one paid in, and pertinently calls attention to the fact that had the coin proved bad one he would have been held re- sponsible. Both sides have employed attorneys and lawsuit seems in- evitable.

WHERE DRINKING
 PREVAILS.
Patrons of Fine Saloons Take Little
 Liauor at a 1 ime.


 How can the elegant bars of the city afford to place before their patrons a better grade of liquor while charging the same price as the saloons in the poorer districts? is question frequent y asked. The answer is simple enough. In the former drinkers never take bath as the saying is, but merely cover the bottoms of their glasses with liquor, while in the latter the glasses are none too large to contain the amount the patrons require. If you can tell me how many drinks a bar gets out of gallon of whisky" said veteran of the white apron the other day I will tell you relatively where his saloon is located and what kind of trade it enjoys. The average for a business in the commercial and office center IS from sixty to sixty-five. If 1t is patronized to any extent by the upper working classes, skilled mechan- les, and so on, the percentage runs down to fifty. A fellow who wasn't posted might suppose that indicated workingmen were heavy drinkers, bu; it's just the reverse. The average up- per class mechanic drinks very sell dom, but when he does he generally takes a good one. The heavy tipplers are the chaps who take small drinks and lots of them, and a house that has very swell custom will get from eighty to eighty-five out of a gallon. In the tough places and dives forty would be about the figure. which rep- resents an average of exactly four bfths of gill to each customer. In such establishments the glasses are often very thick and the inside is round on the bottom. They are deceptive and even if filled to the brim will not hold over one-half of a gill, which would make sixty-four drinks to the gallon. At only five cents apiece that would mean s3.20, and as the stuff they serve does not cost more than S1 the profit is shade over 200 per cent, which ought to satisfy even a dive keeper. If fve-eent house set out thin glasses with the black bottle it would be bankrupt in less than a week"

What a False Report Did.

J. M. Sinclair, high sheriff of Done gal, Ireland, committed suicide by shooting himself Aug 28. on receipt of the announcement that his daughter, IS years old, had been drowned in another part of the county. The lat ter story now turns out to be false, and has caused an immense sensation in the county, where the family is most prominent. The author of the false hood, which caused the father to com- nit suicide, is unknown.

THE CHILD'S MIND.
Let Him Look Into Every Phase of In.
 dustriaI Life.

dustriai Life.
 Expand the child's mind by showing from time to time scenes from all sides of life. Take him today to studios and let him see how pictures are made; next week to silk factories, to learn the poetry of labor, and afterWard to a brick yard and an iron foundry, not forgetting the claims of great churches and monuments upon an eleVating edu- cation. The alienation of city and country is delightful stimulant. When .raVel is possible we should give the child glimpses Of mountains and sights of the sea. and let him become &C., quainted with mountaineers and4fsher- men, even as he ought in town to know something of the ways and thoughts of the workmen, so that he may come to feel sympathy with all sorts of people and understand the merit of labor. Experience of this kind is worth far more than theoriz- ing in school books. It is not particu- larly interesting to a child to read that he should be grateful to all the people who supply him with his daily com- forts,-to the farmer, the baker. the manufacturer and the builder. But when he sees how grain grows and is converted into flour; how furniture is wrought from blocks of wood and thread woven into cloth, the whole history of the objects about him is re- yealed. The different parts of life be- come connected and he gets a sense of the thread of harmony that runs through it all. And he has a moment of satisfaction, coming through a feeling of kinship with the world, which is more useful than gratitude upon general principles.-Florenc Hull Winterburn in the Woman's Home Companion.

RATS LEVIED BLAcKMAIL.

rsey Were Fed to Let Certain Eat.
 abies Alone.
 Rats have always levied toll ip some way on the human race. Blackmail eheerfully paid to rats is, however, new to history and tribute to their great abilities, says the Chicago News. They had established them selves under a meat market and, ao. cording to the owner, "the way they used to pick and choose was dreadful" When two earcasses of mutton were available they would eat the prime and leave the poorer. The best was hardly good enough for them, and they were cunning even beyond the cun- hing of market rats. So the owner re- solved to make treaty and pay black mail, relying on the economic wisdom of rats. He gave them three square meals a day, with plenty of variety, in hope that the rats would be ap- peased and not eat mutton at night, too. The menu was bread, fancy bis- cult, potatoes and sugar, and was laid near the rats front door At first they used to come up furtively and carry the food off to their holes. But now they come out regularly in the shop, eating their luncheon on equal terms with their hosts. Their leader is an old grizzled rat, who has lost an ear. He has become the medium" between the high contracting parties and sets an example to his own side by eating bread and biscuits out of the shop mems fingers. The rats now behave exactly like other tribes when in re- ceipt of blackmaiI, in that they drive off all intruders. "The other day" said one of the shopmen. "a strange rat got in among lem and you should have seen lem chase him out. They ran him out the shop, in front of all of us, and believe if he'd a stayed they'd nave killed him."

Tire at Weddings.

Fire is an essential in some wedding celebrations. In Persia the service is read in front of fire. In Nicaragua the priest, taking the couple each by the little finger, leads them to an apart ment where fire is lighted, and there instruets the bride in her duties, ex- tinguishing it by way of conclusion. In Japan the woman kindles a torch, and the bridegroom lights one from it, the play things of the wife being burnt then and there.

Asphalt Pavements May Be Made from
 These Subs stances.

ASgfha1t Pavements May Be Made from
 These Substances.
 The notice Of making asphalt arti- feially from herrings and sawdust seems so extraordinary as to suggest burlesQue. Nevertheless this surpris- ing feat has been accomplished by Prof. ". c. Day of Swarthmore college. near Philadelphia. Specimens of the product are now in possession of the geological survey in Washington. and were shown to a Washington core spondent by Prof. Dillef, one of the members of the scientific staff of that government bureau Not long ago a very curious mineral substance, up to that time unknown, was found i'll Utah, deposited in veins which had once been Assures in the rocks These Assures had been choked up by bitu- minous matter gushing from the bow els of the earth. and in this way the deposits of gilsonite, as it is now called, were formed. It is singu- larly pure species of asphalt, and is now being mined in large way, the production of it constituting an im- art industry. The stuff Is used for s-4asiag varnishes. For this purpose 1t is especially good, because varnishes made of it will not crack. Conspicu- ous streaks of the gilsonite run like strips of ribbon over hill and dale, so that they can be followed with the eye for miles. Some of this gum asphalt" as it is popularly called, was placed in the hands of Prof. Day for analysis, and he found that it's make up was such as to suggest an animal origin, at least in part. It is believed nowadays by scientific men generally that asphalts ordinarily are derived from vegetable matter. Such matter being laid down in vast beds during the coal-forming period subsequently, underwent chemical processes.

Bryan let the cat completely out of
the bag. Stung by the keen remind
er, he dropped his campaign mask and
avowed the full truth as men do some
times in their wrath as in their cups.
The alert citizen who propounded
the question at Ann Arbor did we'll.
surprised Bryan into declaring the
truth fully and plainly before the
country. AS the democratic candi-
date had been compelled by Jones ct
al. to hide and dissemble his love for
free silver in a policy game to be kept
UP until the end of the campaign. 1t
only required the sting and surprise
of the sudden question to bring out
the burning inner truth of Bryan's de-
yotion to silver. T
Bryan loves his silver dogma all the
more fanatically because he has had
to nurse it in silence. The surprise
sprung on him at Ann Arbor shows
how the land lies. Believing in free
silver as absolutely and as ardently
as ever, Bryan will stop at nothing
when the opportunity comes to enforce
that policy in its most extreme and
reckless form.

AN OLD RAILROADER.

Alert: Robert Cowley, fagman at
the Sixth avenue crossing, was 50
years of age yesterday. Last night

ing to surprise him when he came
down to work. The railroad boys
and Others contributed literally toward
a birthday offering for Mr.. Cowley.
He has been employed on railroads
for 66 years and helped build the first
railroad in England. He is claimed
to be the oldest railroad man in the
United States and is the Oldest man
in the employ of the Northern Pacific.
He never misses a day in his work as
fagman and is remarkably active for
a man of his years. He is very tenn
tperate in his hanits-uses little liquor
and seldom smokes. Owing to the
illness Of his granddaughter his birth
day was not celebrated as usual this
year.
