Rest Before Meals.

The value of a slight rest before
meals is, according to a physician,
very great. Indigestion more often
arises from eating when tired or ex-
cited than is understood. In his diet
ary for consumptive patient very
well known specialist insists upon a
full twenty minutes rest before all
meals except breakfast. Five minutes
complete resi-. of mind as well as body,
is none too much for the person of
average health. and it should be taken
regularly.-New York Post.

A New Excuse,

One Of the men in u large pottery
took two or three days holiday now
and again, and when he came back, on
being asked what was wrong, he said
he had been away burying his grand
mother.
He did this two or three times, and
then he thought he had better change
his excuse, so, on being asked the next
time, he replied:
"Well, my brother, the sailor, is at
home just now, and he is so used to
the sound of the waves that 1 had to
lash pailfuls of water on the window
all night before he could sleep, and
then | had to sleep during the day"

When n Man Weighs Less.

A man weighs less when the barome-
ter is high, notwithstanding the fact
that the atmospheric pressure on him
is more than when the barometer is
low. AS the pressure Of air on an
ordinary sized man is about fifteen
tons, the rise Of the mercury from
twenty-nine to thirty-one inches adds
about one ton to the load he has to
carry.

BIRTH OF AN ICEBERG.
The Dramatic Experience of Two
Antarctic Explorers.


Mr.. c. e. Borchgrevink, commander
of the antarctic expedition Of 1898,
nearly lost his life by an accident of q
nature so peculiar that it is probable
no other man could duplicate the ex-
perience. At the foot of Mount Terror
in February, 1900 he landed from his
ship with Captain Jensen and three
other men. Then, wishing to take n
picture of the shore he sent his boat
back to the vessel to get a camera, and
lie and Captain Jensen were left alone
-: the rough beach. Before the boat
returned strange and awful thing
happened. Mr.. Borchgrevink told the
story in the outlook:
a roar and rush, with tremendous
explosions, shook the beach. The
thought came to us that the perpendic-
ular rocks above US were falling. Then
we realized what was taking place.
The mighty glacier Immediately to the
west of us was giving birth to an ice
berg.
Millions of tons of ice plunged into
the ocean. We could see nothing be-
yond an immense cloud of rolling
snow. The water rose from the plunge
of this antarctic monarch. | sang out
to Jensen, "Now we shall have to face
the waver'
We rushed to the highest point of our
limited beach, four feet above the sea.
We saw advancing on us dark green
Nx-hi fn
Jensen to struggle for dear life. We
clutched the uneven rocks, with our
backs toward the advancing water AL
though it could not have taken more
than seven minutes the time seemed
long before the water closed over our
heads.
Floating upward, scrambling upon
the rocks, l tore the nails from my
flesh in my endeavor to keep from be-
ing dragged out. After the second
wave we again felt the rocks under
our feet.
At the place where Jensen and first
stood the rock was wet twenty feet
above our heads. 1t was somewhat
lower when it struck us. Where the
wave had struck with full force the
face of the rock had been altered, and
rocks were still falling when the three
men in the boat found us, bleeding and
torn.
Two facts had saved us. To our right
a small peninsula of ice protruded
some five feet from the rock, and the
rock itself bent toward the west. From
the moment it struck the curve of the
mountain rock to the west of us the
wave took a course more easterly than
where Jensen and 1 stood.
