Bathes In Icy water.

Prof. Sugarman, who gained noto-
riety three years ago by taking daily
swim in the Mohawk river during the
winter season, and who revived the
practice in 1899 and 1900, says the
New York Sun, intends to keep up his
unique pastime during the present
winter. The professor, who is residing
at Fort Plain this season. took his
first plunge of the winter on Satur-
day, and repeated the performance on
Sunday. The colder the day the more
amusement Prof. Sugarman derives
from the swim. Yesterday the mer-
curry lowered around the zero mark
but he didn't mind little thing like
that. He went TO the Mohawk river,
half a mile from his home, with a
pair OF tights under his arm, chopped
the ice fiom the bank for consider
able distance. and then disrobing,
plunged into the Icy water. Going far
out in the river he disappeared be-
meath the surface. He reappeared and
repeated the act several times before
coming from the water. while the
several witnesses in their winter cloth
ing shivered in the cold. Prof. Sugar
man generally takes his icy plunge in
the late afterpoon. and never expert
ences any lll-effects. He enjoys the
best of health, and declares that after
a person becomes accustomed to q
swim In the icy waters OF the Mohawk
he would taboo all other forms OF
! bathing.

with comparatively little pres'lre.
On removing the water from common
ammonia by distillation, anhydrous
ammonia is obtained. This is com
pressed by combined steam pump
and compressor, and the resulting
liquefaction induces heat, which Ia

the vessel or pipe containing the lique-
fed ammonia. Thus the ammonia Is
cooled and the heat largely transferred
to the water which is then
pumped hack to the boiler that sup
plies the steam pump. The liquid AMI

BLOODY Oysters.

Reports in the Richmond (Va) pa.
pers from correspondents along the
Potomac river are to the effect Chat
oyster houses are closing down on ac-
count of what is called bloody" oys-
ters. This same disease caused n good
deal OF trouble along the Rappahan-
mock some Few years ago. says tho
Richmond Dispatch. but since that
time the bloody" oyster has been an
unknown quantity in this section, This
trouble virtually ruins the sale Of oys-
ters. and its appearance is unac-
counted for. At the time our oysters
were suffering from the disease they
were sent to be analyzed. and II was
found that the discoloration was not
at all injurious TO the oyster. nor did
II make the mollusks unflt for eating
purposes. But while 1t was acknowl
edged and known that such oysters
were good for eating. but few felt In
clnod to cat them in that shape. and
thus the sale was ruined

A Marriage IN PersIn.

Before dinner Is served the bride
goes to the bath, accompanied by fe-
malo relatives and friends At night
as the procession OF the bridegroom
approaches aims are distributed npl
women and children look on frol,
neighboring roofs. Loud cries frc4n
the women welcome the bridegroom
on his arrival, while the bride, carefil-
" veiled. mounts the horse awaiting
her at the door. All the men who
have been feasted and entertain"' join
in the procession. in which lanterns
are borne. The brides departure is
the signal for the discharge of fire
works and a great beating of the big
drum. The final ceremony Is similar
to one observed by the Arabs and the
Copts, namely, the sacrifice of sheep.
These are killed as the bride steps
over the threshold OF her new home
One wonders what the idea IL underly-
ing the sacrifices. Are they intended
as acts of propitiation Inherited from
an earlier age. when people thus en-
deavored ito appease the anger OF the
gods" or of the spirits of their ances-
tors? Or Is II merely way OF sealing
in blood an important act and cove
nant?-Woman's Homo Companion.

The story is related OF aa Irish
man who, after embarklng In business
on his own hook, experienced consld-
cradle difficulty In paying his bills
AS the first of the month drew near he
realized that 1t would be necessary to
put all collectors of until after the
18th OF the month. so he made this
sign and hung il in front of the door:
"No bills paid before The 18th" when
the collectors arrived the sign stared
them in the face, and they won't away
making note OF the date TO call. On
the 18th Pat was Just as short OF
money as before, so he sat down TO
think II over, and his native wit did
not desert him. On the back Of the
sign he painted the following; mo
bills paid after the 18th" 1t is chron-
icled that Pat assured all collectors
that they had been extremely care
less not to come before the date indl-
Gated on the sign, thus gaining enough
time TO tide over his difficulties. The

The women of Kenosha, Wis. have
formed Il club, in which nearly every
villager has Joined, for having bird
restaurants in their front or back gar
dens. Each member OF the club has
agreed to erect a tall pole with a
shelf on top large enough to hold a
saucer of water and tray OF food
which will contain seeds. lettuce, cut
tlebone and any other dainties birds
crave. Once the bird restaurants be-
come popular with Kenosha's birds,
the women believe, the feathered ones
will impart the glad tidings to their
neighbors in other suburbs, and Ke-
nosha in a little while will have
monopoly OF songsters. Some OF the
women will go even further than TO
establish bird eating-houses. Moss

and often in much less time. He
gathers up many nickels and pennies
by telling commercial travellers ut the
hotels or what day OF the wek they
were born. The day OF the month on
which one was born Is given the boy
and he Immediately supplies tie day
OF the week. To the questloner this
