FREAKS OF ICEBERGS.
Fishermen in Newfoundland Say Berg,
Can Be Smeiled,

The fishermen of Newfoundland posses:
the curious faculty of being able, as they
say, to "smelp' icebergs, and thereby es.
cape many encounters with them. Real
ly. however, the fact is that the approach
of berg is heralded by sudden and de,
cided cooling of the atmosphere, which
these experienced mariners soon perceive.
and are warned by. But oftentimes q
vessel will run into a nest of them, and
may have to be towed to safety by her
boats. A frequent cause Of disaster is
that, the submerged section of a berg
being caught in the grip of a current, the
mass moves steadily against wind and
sea and crashes into the craft before she
can escape.
The same circumstances cause the re.
markable sight sometimes witnessed, OF
foes driven one way by the wind, while
bergs cut wide swath through them il
another direction, impelled by the cur.
rents. The lee of berg is often ia.
vorite shelter from storm, and Arctic
steamers, northern whalers and New.
foundand sealers frequently adopt the
move expedient of anchoring to bergs
which experience shows them to be sure.

Fnrmers Live Lonpest.

The life insurance companies have
accurate figures of the number of
years that the many various trades
and professions live and farmers are
found first In that list as those who
live the longest. Yet farmers are
more liable TO accident than the en-
yineer on the railroad or the captnln
of n steamship on the ocean. He IS
constantly working among horned
beasts that are liable to gore him,
or among horses that may kick him, or
among imperfect machines which are
liable to rcnd his body. The principal
reason why the farmer lives so long
is that he takes plenty Of exercise In
the fresh outdoor air, drinks plenty OF
water, Is generally temperate and his
mind is not distressed or unduly exclt.

Nervousness is very common among

centers become bloodless for the want oe
proper nutrition.
This condition is especially noticeable
