 From the Philadelphia Record: How'd you like to ne the iceman?" Snyder, the calculating barber, was ar tiseally executing a quiekstep on the razor-stroD when the above little ditt9 aaated in from tba busy thorough
 ng a sne of contempt to
 ais features. That simply #a Wear5 ie remarked, as Vi flourish he daubed the patrons face You hear that latest acquisi- tiea in the way 0f slang phrases fe- peatea by men af every station, just as if the ieeman's lot was an earthly paradise. As a matter of fact, the in' dividua1 who embarks on a career which involves the marketing of con- gealed moisture doesn't have to run around searching for his troubles. How many people do yon suppose ever think of the amount of money that dfips right out of the icemans 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 bring up a few figures for your consideration. Starting out with ton of ice, I 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 ares are amazing One hundred thou- sand pounds at, say 10 cents per hun- dfed, runs up the tidy little sum ef $100. Three hundred and siXty-fve times $100 gives Us the annual loss locally of $36, 800. Takes a little nerve. doesn't it, to be an jceman? Then fl during the summer these drippings could be collected I figure that they'd supply aa the hospitals in town with ice water baths for sunstroke patients. Frozen into a solid lump. the entire years drippings would make cube as big ea Q tefzstory office building. Then, again, the waste when the cakes are cut is enormous, to say nothing of what vanishes into the air when tae ice is WhisKed clean with brush broom But, without going into fur ther details, I think you'll agree that the man Wao feadIes ice has enough tfoubio 5o worry him into an sfli.ilsg grave.

 The graYedigsers in the different burying grounds have their own phl- Iosopbv of life. One of them who has been in the business nearly 25 years, and who takes an exceedingly cheerful view Of life notwithstanding his occupation. aaid that when he first went into it he felt kind of shaky. !" but that now he would as soon dig a grave as do anything else, says the Baltimore Sun. i've seen some mighty queer things in my time" he said. i've see pe 8Ble-meurners, T mean catch sight of a name on the card tied on to some flower piece and then they have gone straight to work to tear up the Whoi thing. I'll tell you another thing I've noticed. When a woman comes along and makes 3 big fuss at her husbands funeral and says, I can't live without him, I know that in a few weeks tiree I'll see he. out here leaning on some young fellows arm. It's never failed. It's happened every dime. But the people-Women and men too-who don't take on a lot, but just keep still and sometimes don't evep shed a tear, that's the kind that grieves.

aozEN FOOD INDUSTRY.
Remarkable Increase in ths# #Busin5 Q .
 the Last Decade.

From the Indianapolis News. Frozen food plays part in the English econ ony tbat=We in this country do not re= Aiize, although we are all familiar enough with cold storage houses and refrigerator cars. In 1889 London re- eeived it's first consignment of 400 frozen eareasses of Australian sheep, In spite of the prejudice against it, the traffic has grown until now there are eighty=eight vessels engaged in the traffic, with a carrying capacity of 5,100,000 earcasses per annum. A single vessel sometimes lands at London TO- 600 careasses of frozen mutton. At one wharf 10000 to 12,000 of such aarcasses are handled daily and one warehouse will hold 250,000 of them; all are from Australia and New Zea- land. Sheep were imported into Aus tralia with the conyicts to Botany bay littl1 more than q century ago, and with the small population and the vast plains for grazing, focks increased so that in 1867 a farmer is recorded who for four months of the year boiled down daily from 1000 to 1.500 sheep for their tallow and until 1880 1t was common in Australia and New Zea- land to kill foels of sheep for their hides and tallow, leaving the carcasses to manure the ground, as used to be done with cattle in South America. There is a difference between frozen and chilled meat The meat that Eng land receives from America is chilled, 5ut that sent from Australia, 13,000 miles away, must be frozen Australia and New Zealand have twenty-two freezing works in operation, whose total capacity is 10000 carcasses per annum. One of the results of the frozen and chilled meat trade is that people are now able to eat fresh meat who half a century ago could only get 1t as q ny. Naturally We are less dependent o such food than England, but the growing use of refrigerator cars and cold storage houses is giving us variety of diet that was impossible a few wears ago
