TO SECURE ICE IN WINTER.

A novel way of securing Ice in winter
Is practiced by a New Jersey farmer.
He had several vessels made Of sheet
iron, one foot cube. He fills the vcr-
sells with water and permits j. to
freeze. On moderately cold days he
freezes q few inct.r OF wa.s- at a
time, adding more Until the vessel Is
full of ice. The vessels are set in hot
water for q moment or more and the
cube of Ice falls GU when the vessel
is turned upside down. The Ice Is
packed in q small ice house, the blocks
close together, and covered with saw

Easy Life in Nicaragua.

"When I was in the Olancno district,
IN Nicaragua, last month";, said Wis
itor who is largely interesting in min
ing in Central America, Il had an OPP
portunity of seeing how the lazy ma
tives tap natures till when they need
some small change.
"Near our camp by the river was
hut occupied by typical Honduranian
family, consisting of husband and wife,
grandfather and grandmother, and a
dozen or so assorted children. The
only one of the crowd who lid anyth-
ing except rest and smoke was the
wife At intervals of perhaps a week
she would sally out with The family
tinpan, erstwhile used for cooking, and
proceed to an old placer digging on the
river bank. There she would squat,
throw a few gourds full of dirt into the
pan, fill it with water and begin the
usual circular motion of gold washing
She was very skillful and would keep
little sheet OF dirty water spraying
over the edge like miniature cataract.
When the water was exhausted a few
spoonfuls of sand would be left in the
bottom of the pan, and, spreading it
out thin, with bit of stick, she would
go over it grain for grain, looking for
color Whenever she saw q speck of
gold she moistened the stick on her
tongue and picked up the particle by
adhersion. Each bit of the precious
metal was stored away in a quill plug
ged with clay at the ends, and | have
known her to take out as Inuch as a
quarter of an ounce in the course of
one day Usually her limit was about
81, and when she got that she stopped.
Then the head of the house would
arise languidly and start for the near
est store twelve miles away. Some
times he would trade the whole
amount for whiskey, but as a rule he
brought back tobacco, salt, metal or
calico.
There are hundred of native famil-
les who live in exactly that manner in
blanche. Sometimes the woman will
be lucky enough to strike rich pock-
ct, that will yield dollar or more a
pan, but they never dream of washing
1t out at once and getting stake. 1t
simply means that they can secure
their usual amount with less work."

exactly the same form in which they

IS old, but the inventor is said to have
devised an apparatus which is entire-
different from its predecessors. Pol

Unique in possessing the property of

which varies with the intensity of the

Illumination is produced by treating
the written telegram in peculiar
manner, and the variations in resist

Russians Testing Antidote for Hunger.

About the beginning of this cen
ury distingu shed French philan
!hrCpist. A. Joux, advised poor peoplt
O sleep as much as possible during thu
winter months, as only thus would
.hey be able to live with any degree o!
comfort. This strange theory is now
oeing tested by many persons in Rus
;ia. and, according to a report which
las been issued, their almost com
)lete abstinence fom food mas prcdrc-
I'd no harmful result and has even
from their standpoint proved highly
beneficial. These people live at 7Skow,
II district south Of st. Petersburg and
he reason why they have adopted the
practice Of sleeping during the winter
s because for the last few years their
.rops have been insufficient TO provide
hem with the necessary means of sus-
tenance.
When the elders of the district saw
mat starvation stared the people n the
lace. they advised them TO make their
remaining stock of food last as long as
possible and to go TO sleep during the
winter This suggestion was adopted.
The members of each family stretch
themselves ON cots around the large
stove and slumber day and night. Once
N the twenty-four hours they get up
and refresh themselves with morsel
If hard bread baked last autumn and a
drink of water, after which they lie
down again and snore calmly.
Apparently some of the poorest in
habitants of Pskow have been in the
habit of alternating for some years
but the practice did not become gener-
al until recently, and it has only now
attracted the attention of philanthro-
pists and of physicians. Medical men
in ST. Petersburg have decided to in
vestigate the matter closely, as they
are especially anxious to obtain ans
wers to two questions: first, does the
temperature Of persons who remain
torpid and who sleep for whole months
In this fashion undergo any change;
and second, in what other manner, Il
any, does this mode of living affect
persons physically and mentally?

4 subtle one; without knowing all

She is the girl who is not "too

She is the girl who appreciates tn
fact that she cannot always have til
first choice of everything in the

She is the girl who $ rot aggres

aggressive people.
She is the girl who has tact enough
not to say the verv thing that will
cause the skeleton in her friends
closet to rattle his bones.
She is the girl who whether it IS
warm or cold, clear or stormy, finds
no fault with the ea-her.
She is the girl who, when you in
vite her anywhere, compliments you
by looking her best
She is the girl who IS sweet and
womanly to look at and listen to, ard
who doesn't strike you as poor i'm

She is the girl who makes this
world a pleasant place because she l.
50 pleasant herself.
And by the by when you come t.
think of it, isn't she the girl who
makes you feel she likes you, and
therefore, you like her?

Blind persons dream just as fire.
quently as do normal people, but they

they only hear sounds. This interest

that of two hundred blind persons who
had been questioned on the subject
those who had been born without sight
and those who had become blind before
their fifth year never saw things or
faces in their dreams. On the other
hand, of those whose sight was lost be-

some did and some did not see in their
