Appealing Display of Good Things
to Eat in the Window of
Restaurant.

Likely to catch the eye of the passer-
by is the restaurant window display
consisting of a big block of artificial
ice with an assortment of good things
to eat frozen within it. Sometimes
fruits are thus displayed, and some
times vegetables; or fish, or game, or
crustacea. states the New York Sun.
Sometimes the display is composite;
and reveals some pattern or design.
Thus appearing in the crystal depths
of an ice block lately seen were two
fine shad, heads downward and meet
ing at the bottom of the cake, and each
fish holding in its mouth a lemon.
Head downward thus, the forms of
these fishes. uncooked and so of course
of their natural color. rose in the ice
block like the arms of tall. but not
very widely opened letter v; and be-
tween the forms of the two fishes was
placed a lobster, cooked and so. of
course, red in color, making striking
contrast to the green gray of the two
shad. In freezing IN fruits and veget-
ables and so on they use celery and
other things that permit of effective
arrangement; and so this window dis
play consisting of block of ice with
things frozen in il may be easily made
one to attract attention.

ASSOCIATION OF IDEAS.
An Ancient "Fnkfr" DefrauIed Many
Persons, But His Victims
Never Complained.

Prof, Musterberg. of Harvard, whose
specially is psychology, relies to some
extent on the point Of good story in
enforcing his positions in abstract dem
onstrations. He has one on the associ-
alton of ideas that viii illustrate
medieval agician--more accu-
rately called "fakirs" nowadays
nounced that he had invented and had
for sale magic pot. If certain rather
common stones were mixed and placed
in the pot, with a certain portion Of
water, and the whole shaken diligently
for an hour, the stones would turn TO
gold-proyided that during the hour
the operator should not think of hip
popotamus.
The falir sold a great many for fab
ulous sums. and not one Of the purchas-
ers ever demanded n return of the
money. The fakir knew his business,
says the Boston Herald. He was in adj
vance Of his age in psychology, in his
skin permanently fixing in his custom
er's minds the association of that old
pot and a hippopotamus.

HUNTS WITH TRAINED WOLVES
An Illinois Man Uses Two with Much
Success Ia Capturing
Rabbits.

Bert Decker, young sportsman
of Tuscola, H., has succeeded in tam
ing two wolves, and they are very
valuable as hunters, says a Charleston
Gn.) correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Enquirer. He captured them
when young, raised them as kittens"
and now, though they are as large
as shepherd dogs, they are quite tame
and playful. Decker says the wolves
can outrun dogs on the hunt, and are
very long-winded. Their fayorite
way of catching a rabbit is to run
alondside of him, put their nose Nm
derneath Mr.. Cottontail, and throw
him ten or twelve feet in the air.
catching him in their mouths as he
falls. The wolves always return to
their master when called.
Decker's success has caused other
sportsmen to undertake the training
of wolves to supplant dogs in hunt
ing, and 1t is probable that wolves
will find place in future kennels.

PREFER DEATH TO BLINDNESS
Two Startling Instances of the Kind
Recently Reported from
Vienna Austria.

A Hungarian woman and an Aus
trian Judge committed suicide because
they We're appalled, by fear of total
blindness. Miss Michael Yung, who
lived alone, but in comfort, in Gross
warden, had been told by the doctors
that blindness was her unavoidable
fate, says a late account from Vienna.
She straightway had large carving
knife sharpened, lay down on her bed
and cut her throat so savagely that
her head was detached from the body,
rolled off the bed and was found on
the floor by those who entered the
room in the morning.
Court Councillor Won Holzinger, the
most learned, most feared, yet up
right judge of the high court of Vi
emma, blew out his brains. He met
all his friends in the last week of his
life, visited all his favorite spots,
seemed quite himself all the time,
passed his very last day precisely as
usual, and at 1890 that night went
to his Office in the courts, locked him
self in, wrote a few lines to say that
fear of blindness made him wish to

FLANNEL SUIT ON A HEN.
Lost All Her Feathers In Cold
Weather and Was Provided
with Novel Covering

An old hen belonging to Mrs. NJ. A
Stormont began laying late in the
fall, and was so persistent that she
laid 90 eggs before she concluded to
stop. During all this time she had
neglected her moultinP, and when she
finally got ready to shed her feathers
il was in the middle of winter, but
the old ones had lost their life and
were dry and harsh, consequently
there was no other way but to make
the change. In short time she was
almost bare and suffering from the
cold, relates the Kirkwood OllD
Leader.
The Misses Stormont, seeing her
prcdicament and approaching the
value of her service rendered, deter
mined to come to her rescue. They
accordingly took the old hen into the
house, took her measurements. made
her a suit of tlannels TO fit. and then
released her. Her ladyship took the
matter very philosophically, and
hustled off to her companions, appar-
emily very comfortable in her new
suit.

ONE OF Quotations FREAKS.
Dull Pupils Generally Win Success
in Life While smart Ones More
often Fail

81 am almost discouraged by the
results of popular education" said an
old teacher. For forty years | have
been teaching in the public schools of
the city in which | live, and many of
my earliest pupils are now men Of
middle age. What discourages me is
that so many of my brightest schol-
ars have proved failures in the pro-
fessions, in business, and in public
life, while the most successful of our
citizens were, as a rule, classed
among the dull pupils.
Five of the leading lawyers in this
city were my pupils, and they were
all below the average in scholarship,
department and punctuality. Several
of our most prominent business men
belong to the same group, while
among physicians, engineers and min
listers | find that some of my dullest
pupils are in the front rank.

brightest and most promising schol-
ars are little better than tramps,
and most of them are below the av-
erage in the avocations they have
chosen"

OLD PROVIDENTIAL WAYS.
White House Entertainments and
Dinners That Were Much Like
Home Affairs

1t has been charged that Jefferson
banished courtly laws and introduced
stumbling manners. When the Madi-
sons took his place they sought to es-
tablish the old order of affairs The
white house was gay with dances,
dinners, leyees and garden parties
Some unllind diplomat has recorded
Mistress Dolly's dinners as being
more like harvest home suppers than
affairs of state. There certainly was
home-like air about Mrs. Madisons
affairs. 1t was during the Madison
regime that the custom of making
calls at private houses on New Years
day was inaugurated at the capital.
II still survives there, in spite of the
fact that other social eenters have
voted il plebeian, says the National
Magazine. JackSon's reign is asso-
ciated with the merriest, maddest
scenes the white house has ever
known. The fame of his plebeian
suppers bids fair to rival Washing
tons little Ratchet. While his guests
smoked costly cigars he blew whiffs
from his corncob pipe, whitfield by his
own hand His lavish entertainments
ate deep inroads in his salary, and it
was his constant worry that his cot
ton crop would fail and leave him I'M
able to meet his expenses.

The Presidents Official Picture.

craving and printing have completed
a vignette of President Roosevelt
that will always be used as the of
fetal picture of the president After
his death it may be used on govern

until then. This yignette was made
from what was decided to be the
best photograph of the president
after every photograph he has had
taken in the last ten years had been
examined.
