Well, if that il any comfort, it might
as well be understood at once that you

chemical analysis of human body
shows that we are largely composed OF
water. The average man consumes
annually 1900 pounds of water, 800
pounds of dry food and 800 pounds OF

anatomy and is eliminated and re-

tinnal process of destruction and re-

Boston Harbor froze over I'm January
of 1914, and the advertised sailing Of
the Britannia, then In dock, seemed
surely to be impossible. But the mer-
chants of Boston would not have 1t
so. They met and voted to cut a
way, at their own expense, through the
ice, that the steamer might sail prac-
tically on time. The contract for cut
ting the necessary channels was given
to merchants engaged. like Frederick
Tudor, In the export of ice-not from
the harbor. Their task was to cut,
within the space of three days cham
mel about ten miles long. For tools
they had the best machinery used I'm
cutting fresh.water ice, and horse
power was employed. The ice was
from six to twelve inches in thickness.
AS the Advertiser of February 2, 1874,
described the scene: "a great many
persons have been attracted to our
wharves to witness the operations and
the curious spectacle of the whole har-
Dor frozen over. and the Ice has been
covered by skaters. sleds and even
sleighs. Tents and booths were erected
upon the Ice, and some parts of the
harbor bore the appearance Of Rus
sian holiday scene" On February 8
the work was done, and the Britannia,
steaming slowly through the lane of
open water, lined on either side by
thousands of cheering spectators. made
her way to the sea. Whatever the
New York critics may have thought.
the English managers Of the company
must have felt that the people of Bos-
ton were good friends to have.-At'

DESCRIBES A CAKE WALK.
Seen Through German Eyes II Be.
comes Something Wonderful.

A Berlin paper of recent date, in an
American dance, which threatens to
become popular in Europe" gives this
startling account of the origin of the
dance. "At a dinner given by
wealthy plantation owner a rich negro
and his wife were guests. The black
pair were so inflated with pride at be-
ing there and walked with so much
studied air that they attracted much
attention. When the black couple
had retired the host offered prizs of
cake to the man and woman giving
the best imitation of the black pairs
walk. Everybody wanted to win the
prize, men and women did their best
to produce the pose and step of the
high-nosed negroes, and that was the
first cake walk" The careless Ger
man historian fails to give the name Of
the planter who entertains his black
neighbors and makes fun of them after
they have gone. Evidently the writer
is angry with the United States for
sending the cake walk to Europe, for
he says: Last year there was ex-
hibited at the South Kensington muse
um the art treasures which J. Pierpont
Morgan bought of Mannheim. the col
lector. There were 13 cases full of
these magnificent pieces of silver enam-
ed and falence. At the same time
one could see at the Guild hall other
works of art for the Morgan palace,
while at Cherbourg. and at Havre
priceless pictures were being trans
ported to America. And for these
treasures what does America bring us?

Mexican Carts.

A large proportion of the transporta-
tioa of Mexico is done in two-wheeled
carts, with wheels six feet in diaineter.
that wagons are taxed according to
the number of wheels, and also because
the carts can get about narrow streets,
which are SO numerous in Mexican
cities.
