PRICES OF ICE Co UP
As High as Seventy Gents a Hundred to Old Patrons After
 September 1
NEW ONES MUST PAY 80 CENTS

On Saturday. September 1, the price of ice in this city will be given another boost by the Waterbury Ice corporation. The people are glad that the summer is drawing to an end, as there is no telling where tho cost of the cold stuff would go to if the weather should continue warm for another month or more. Begin. ming Saturday the price of ice will be from 50 to 75 cents hundred to all people. All customers of the Wa terbury Ice corporation will be noti- fled in the next few days of the new scale.
 The price of ice, according to c. B. Everett, secretary and treasurer of the Waterbury Ice corporation, has been from 30 to 50 cents. The retail CT has been paying the high price, while the wholesalers have been pay ing either 30 or 40 cents, according to the amount bought. New custom CTS were charged 80 cents a hum dred, but this price was maintained, so the company says, so as to prevent any person who had been buying from other companies to go over to the Waterbury Ice corporation. The new scale of prices is in reality a raise of 20 cents hundred and makes ice very expensive.
 Mir Everett says that the people of Waterbury have no idea how alarm {vo hn ,ff iC enough ice left in our barns for just two days supply" was his statement to-day, land if we should use this while waiting for a carload to come in, the city would be out of ice en- tirely." If the Hygeia plant were in good condition the situation would not be nearly as serious as it is.
 Last year at this time the Brook lyn plant was turning out sixty tons a day, while now 1t is only putting out twenty-six tons per day. You can see where the difference in the price comes in."
 When MT Everett was asked why the company did not look the Hygeia plant over to see what the trouble was, he replied that the Waterbury Ice corporation had done all in its power to have the plant put in condition to turn out the amount that 1t did last summer.
 When the new scale goes into ef- feet a piece of ice that weighs about twelve and half pounds will cost the customer 10 cents. A box of ice which costs the small dealer only 10 cents last summer will cost him 35 under the new price list.

For the cool weather challie, cash

Barber's New Experience.

A good story of Charles Hawtry is
told in Vanity Fair. When making
a trip through Europe he found him
self in small village minus his
luggage and his razors. There was
no barber's shop, but, having heard
of a man in the village who OCCASION
ally had shaved people, the famous
actor sent for him. and was aston
ished at being requested to lie fat
on his back before operations were
commenced. Thinking it a custom
of the country, he lay down, and was
shaved with ease and derterity, but
afterward asked the man the reason
why he requested his customers to
adopt so peculiar a position. Be-
cause, SIR" was the naive reply, Il
never before shaved live man"

Zoos Are Expensive.

81 am sorry 20 say that most Of the
American cities are losing interest In
the maintenance OF their zoos" said
Clyde Ainsworth Of Lincoln Park,
Chicago.
Although the principal cities still
keep their zoos In good condition,
they find that It Is a costly matter and
the question Of either abollshing them
or leaving them TO the care OF private
individuals has been discussed.
Very few people realize the large
amount Of money required TO run an
animal garden, and even If the beasts
are donated the expense runs into the
thousands. Lions and tigers are very
particular In their diet, and an ele-
phant will eat only the finest straw
The monkeys require constant medical
attention and many Of them die each
summer despite the care exercised.
1t cost the city Of Chicago a trifle
more than $4,000 TO run the Lincoln
park zoo and pay the salaries Of the
keepers last season. and Il Is estimat.

Science and Manufacture.

In the Zeiss glass works at Jena
fourteen doctors of science are en-
ployed, and these include mathema-
ticians as we'll as physicists. The
great German aniline color works
employ more scientific" than tech
nichal" chemists. At one of them.
for instance, fifty-five scientific and
thirty-one technical chemists are en-
gagged; at a second 145 scientific
chemists and 175 technologists; at
a third 14S scientific chemists for
seventy-fye technicists. The re-
search laboratories of these works
are lavishly equipped; one Of them
possesses a library of $4,000 vol
umes; a second spends 10000
francs a year on glassware. These
things are no doubt expensive, but
these great factories still manage
to pay a dividend Of from twenty to
thirty per cent. Every newly dis
covered substance which is usable
is patented. and In this way Germany
has managed to establish monopoly.

APPLE TREES So YEARS OLD.
They Were Planted by Indians at a
Historic Spot in Michigan.

Planted by the Indians eighty
years ago, when the spot was an In
dian reservation and burying ground.
two apples trees still stand side by
side on the bank Of the ShiawasSe
River near Vernon.
The trees are now Of mammoth
size. measuring six and eight feet in
circumference, and Notwithstanding
their age they are still ia healthy
condition and bear fruit each year.
Near where they stand was To-
Gated the first settlement made by
white men in Shiawasse County
about one hundred years ago. In
those early days the spot was one
of the chief trading points in the 10
cality.
1t was located on one of the first
trails hereabouts, and. being also on
the river bank, was accessible by
water In those days water was
used for travel more than il IS row
So large was the business done by
Indians and fur traders that in 1910
a bank was established here. 1t was
one Of the wildcat variety so COM
mon in those days. and issued a
great amount of wildcat currency.
Tradition has it that while the
bank was doing a flourishing bust
ness some of the large holders of its
currency became uneasy about the
security for the redemptio Of the
paper and planned q raid TO loot the
bank.
The bank officials, hearing Of the
plan, took the banks specie and
buried it near the river. There still
live in that vicinity some oldtimevs
who believe that the money is bur
led there yet, and many excavations
have been made in the hope of un-
covering it.

Seven Rules For Longevity.

fhe following rules for living to
a ripe, old age are given by Mrs.
Henderson in her recently published
volume, lhe Aristocracy of Health
(Harpers):
l. Study the laws Of nature for
health and the remedies of nature
for cure.
2. Avoid all poisons.
8. Take abundant exercise in pure
air, but always short Of fatigue. So
exercise that every portion of the
body is equally benefited. AS it
takes a strong engine for a. long Jour-
ney, cultivate lung-power by slow,
deep-breathing exercises.
4. Eat only the amount Of food
that nature needs, and study what
to eat from a scientific point of
view.
5. Cultivate normal sleep. Live
and sleep only in rooms that are we'll
summed, we'll ventilated, and not over
heated.
G. Cultivate the habit OF work in
connection with some worthy ambi-
ton, for healthy exercise OF body
and mind is as Strengthening as re-
pose, and should balance it. Work
while you work and rest while you
rest, avoiding all worry. Make your
self useful TO the world, and feel
that you have mission in it.
:. Avoid all environments. the
worst of which is the friend who en-
courages YOU to poison yourself.
