WHY PRICES WENT UP.
Some of the Curious Effects of the
Recent Boom In the Cost of Ice.

Some of the Curious Effects of the
Recent Boom In the Cost of Ice.
We went over to the "parlor'' across
the way and called for brick of
mixed and put down the price we had
paid always before. The young lady
chirped, Five cents more, please" We
asked why and wherefore. lice has
gone up," she said. All, yes, so. Ice up
from So to s. a ton, ice cream from 35
to 40 cents a quart. Exactly. This led
us to investigate.
We found the following facts-ap-
proximately, allowing something. of
course, to a deep inward activity of
feeling: Our beef went up because of
increased refrigeration cost. A bunch
of radishes cost 2.cents more. Oranges
jumped and all kinds of fruits. But
we did not see just,why kindling wood
went up 25 cents a barrel. OF course
1t was easy after we found it out. 1t
cost more to supply the kindling split
ter with ice water. Then bricks went
up 40 cents a thousand. The owner of
the brickyard ran the ice plant, and the
rise in bricks was purely sympathetic
movement, like the Inflammation of
the eye because the other has got a
cinder in it.
Then we. discovered that corner lot
we wanted had gone up 500. This
stumped us untilswe learned the init
mate connection between this corner
lot and ice. The ,lot owner, it seems,
had got shut up for three hours in a
refrigerator. and contact with ice had
imbued him with the idea that every
thing was going up.
But the most singular effect of the
ice boom came out as follows: We
asked for an increase of salary and
got the frosty, face, the glacial glance
and the icy eye all in moment. Then
we realized that ice was up, and it
was costing more to CONCEAL employ
ing interiors, leaving just so much less
for the interiors of the submerged
classes.-Judge.

Nice People.


The people that we meet in books
Are clever, kind and sweet;
The men are brave and stout of heart
The ladies fit to eat.
Unless they are the other kind,
The villains dark and deep.
Who hatch up plots and work then
out
While other people sleep.
They have no cares about the rent
Or anything like that:
The ladies never have to beg
Their husbands for a hat;
They hire n cab or take the train
And 60 most anywhere
And never stop to think about
A vulgar thing like fare.
They live in some fine mansion or -
A cottage by the sea:
Their visitors can stay a week,
And everything is free:
They have 4 gardener and a maid,
A coachrnan and man.
And all of their arrangements run
On some self working plan.
No bill collector comes around
To mar life's placid flow;
No landlord says the rent Is due
And they must pay or go;
For panics, boycotts, lockouts, strikes
They do not care a rap
In fact, In every way their lives
Are what you'd call a snap.

When the time arrived the professor
asked the pupils how they succeeded.

"Well, what is the question:" asked
the professor.
What two chemical changes did the
