ty-one were back there again. The ves- sel had pumped against frowning height of Ice only fifty miles off the har- bor, and through her bow such tor rent rushed as to carry her down Into oceans caves almost before the watch below could reach the decks, and before a second boat could be cut loose and got over the side.
 The most grewsome tragedy due 10 ice- bergs was that of the French fishing pris Baillant, bound from St. Malo, France' to St. Pierre, Miquelon, early in May 1897 with seventy-four persons aboard 10 engaging in trawling on the Grano Banks. Some hours before dawn the frail wooden craft had a collision with a mountain of ice, her hull was opened like a sieve, and before the frightened wretches she carried could collect their wits she was sinking under their feet. Twelve got away in two boats, but it would have been better had they also perished with her. Without oars, sails or rudder, food, water or clothes, they drifted around the ocean for days Sev- eral died, and the survivors resorted to the dread expedient of cannibalism at the last But the spring frosts scared their arms and feet, and of the five who were ultimately picked up two died be- fore reaching land and the others had to

 In 1891 somewhat similar experience befell the Newfoundland fishing vessel Zebra, on the Banks, which impaled her self on the snowy spur of low-lying Ice raft, causing her to sink like plummet. Of her twenty-two men seventeen were engulfed with the vessel, but the other five flung a boat overheard and them selves into it, and with only one oar and a second improvised from a thwart rowed one hundred and fifty miles to land nthree days, touching neither food nor water during that period.
 When the present Prince Of Wales then Duke of Cornwall and York, left St. Johns on October 20, 1901, to cross to Portsmouth in the Ophir, completing his tour of the world, two ships of the North American squadron, the Ariadne and Indefatigable, were detailed to &C., company him, in addition to the regular escort, the Diadem and the Niobe, as far as midocean, to scout for icebergs, and the night after leaving port three of these ghostly monsters. were deserted and the course of the squadron altered to escape them.

TOLL TO ICE KING.
Many Lives Lost In Ice Floes of the
 North.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
 Within the last decade many ships have paid dreadful toll to the ice king, though the big Atlantic liners have purchased comparative immunity from this form of disaster by altering their course two hundred miles further south, for the ex- press purpose of escaping this hazard. Only three years ago the Knight Bach elor crumpled up her stem against a floating mass of ice and had she not been going dead slow would probably have sunk with all on board In April, 1900. the Hatasu was treated in the same fashion, and in August of the same year the F'urlor had remarkable experience. After striking berg and having a wood en bow put in her at St. Johns, she went to sea again, and hit another Ice mass, which ripped off part of her bottom, and she sank like a stone, carrying eight men down with her. On November 2s, 1899, the ship Ferndale left St. Johns for Gibraltar fish laden, and the next day fourteen survivors out of a crew of thir-

GAVE UP SWITCHBOARD
FOR THE WASHBOARD

4 MANSFIELD, O., Jan. 2O-The Central
Union Telephone company, finding the
strlnglng of wires a rather slack business
IN this country lately, has taken to the
stnnging Of clotheslines and is now run
ming successful laundry in building on
the public square.
The Fair Play laundry is a decisive
move in the long-pending telephone war
between the Central Union and the Mans
field companies. Some time ago Mansfield
capitalists bought the Mansfield lines
from the Federal Telephone company. and
they are now operated exclusively by
Mansfield citizens Setting forth the advan-
tages of spending ones money at home,
they achieved so great success that not
only did many people subscribe for the
Mansfield phone, but they ordered the
Central Union Instruments taken out.
A few days ago the laundries unanimous
ly decided to remove the Central Union
telephones Then the war began. All eff
forts to have the laIndrymen reinstate
the telephone went for naught Now the
Central Union company has started
laundry doing the work cheaper than
any other establishment in the city. The
next step has just been announced Rate
cutting is to be carried still further and
the Central Union officials saw they will
wash soiled linen free if necessary. The
hello girls instead of saying number,
please" are at work numbering collars and
cuffs.

FACTS ABOUT COFFEE.

There are many Opinions about the value
of coffee as a beverage and its effects on
the digestive organs.
Coffee is more expensive than tea and
a cup of coffee, to be quite satisfactory,
must be made with an abundance of ma
teral. 1t is very commonly drunk after
dinner, custom which, perhaps. is JUS
titled, particularly when wine-drinl1ing ac-
companies the meal. for coffee is an anti
date to alcohol. A hot draught of coffee
is undoubtedly powerful stimu' ant, ena-
bling both mental and physical fatigue to
be borne.
On the other hand, cup of hot coffee
often disagrees with many persons. their
digestion is disturbed rather than aided
there is interference with the normal
chemistry of the digestive process, and
the dyspeptic must eschew hot. strong
coffee as well as tea. The excessive drink
ing of coffee is in any case an evil.
1t is often forgotten that coffee can
be taken in other ways than in liquid
form and in none better than in the form
of jelly A clear coffee Jelly after dinner
is every bit as good as the hot infusion
while it is free from some of the draw
backs of the latter. Coffee unlike alcohol
diminishes organic waste. rouses the mus
cular energy without the collapse which
follows alcoholic inhibition. and gelatin
in the form of Jelly is cooling, assuages
thirst. is soothing and has tendency to
absorb any excessive acidity of the stom-
ach.
