Freezing Food Before Eating.

In nearly all parts of the arctic re gions food is frozen not only for pur- poses of preservation, but also to in crease, as the natives believe, it's nu- tritive properties. Their fish and seal flesh are frozen and eaten ill thin slices cut off by aX CT knife Seal flesh half decomposed and then frozen is one of the Eskimos' greatest delicacies. Wal rus liver, too, when frozen is held to possess great sustaining power, and it is considered that cooking deprives it of it's delicacy of flavor. The natives of the Titicaca basin, in Peru, who in habit a district 12,0O0 feet above the sea, prepare their potatoes by soaking them in water, then freezing them, then sleeping them in water and mash ing them to remove the soluble matter. After this they are dried and become an article of food. They will then keep any length of time and are extremely convenient for carrying on long jour- neys. The oka, another vegetable of the district is prepared in the same way

The Word "Bribery."

Bribery" is word with curious history. In the old Geneva Bible it is said of the scribes and pharisees that they make clean the outer side of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of bribery" The authorized version has "extortion," and there is no doubt that by bribery" the Geneva Bible meant robbery. Bribery" prob ably meant originally morsel, bro ken off piece, but it occurs first in old French, signifying piece of bread given to a beggar; hence the Italian "birba," vagrancy, and the old French "bribeur," beggar or greedy devour- cr "Bribe" developed in two direc- tions, in the senses of robbery and of a present When Falstaff speaks of "a bribed buck" he means not one that had been corrupted, but one that he'd been stoleA l||1 ~

KUBELIK AND HIS "KNABE"
Forty Dollars Played by
New York Man
Special to The Herald.

NEW YORK, March 11.-Somebody
played a joke the other day on Mr.
Jan Kubelik, the vioinist, and it cost
him $40 in long distance telephoning
and a variety of emotions before he
found it out
His friends have been aware for some
time that he was expecting news of an
interesting event in his family, so when
a postcard from some acquaintance in
Prague bearing New Years wishes for
the violinist arrived here at his New
York mail address, friend, Mr.. Knabe,
in whose care the violinist's letters
come, evolved from his merry inner
consciousness an idea.
The postcard CHANGED to bear on the
back the picture of a stork, so the
wicked friend telegraphed to the vio-
linist, who was in Pittsburg:
Jan Kubelik, Pittsburg, Pa: Stork
arrived. Knabe."
Now, Knabe in German means boy.
And Knabe did not appear as a sig
nature, but part of the dispatch.
The receipt of this telegram sent Mr..
Kubelic Immediately to a long-distance
telephone. He called up Hugo Gorlitz,
his manager, but Mr.. Gorlitz could not
be found. Mr.. KubelilS kept the wire
going most of the evening in "hang
the expense style, trying to locate Mr..
Gcrlitz, but that gentleman was at the
opera, and it was not until he returned
from the performance that a conversa-
ton in substance as follows took place
over the wire:
Mr.. Kubelik, in Hello,
that you, Gorlitz? Why the (words
to that effect did you not send me on
at once the particulars of the birth
of my son.
Mr.. Gorlits in New York-"What?"
Mr.. Kueblik repeats.
Mr.. Gorlitz tries to understand.
Mr.. Kubelik repeats a second ana
then 9, third time.
Mr.. Gorlitz-"Read me the telegram
Mr.. Kubelik reads "'Stork arrived,
knabe'; that means boy, you know"
Mr.. Gorlitz thinks. "Oh, [ see!" he
exclaims at last. at must be joke"
But Mr.. Kubelik insisted that this
was no joking matter "Knabe is the
German word for boy" he kept re-
peating. land it must be boy, and I
want to know all about the cablegram,
Goritz.''
Mr.. Gorlitz-"But it isn't cable
gram It's a ten-days' old postal card
with a picture of a stork on it, and
Knabe telegraphed you about the postal
cards arrival. Say, Kubelik, old man,
don't you see? Don't you see it's one
of Knabe's jokes?"
Then Mr.. KubelilI hung UP the re-
ceiver in the Pitsburg offiCe-and set
| tied the bill.

BAD VERSES SIGN OF INSANITY
Alton Jury, After Reading Poetry,
Upsets the Writer'S Will and
Holds It Invalid
Special to The Herald,


ALTON, ILL.,, March 11.--Bad poetry
is sure sign of insanity, according to
the decision of a jury, which ruled to-
day, after reading some of the verses
written by ]. b. Gould, that he was
not competent to make a legal will.
Consequently his heirs-at-law will get
the estate, which he devised to Ed
ward Beall. the "stork" mayor, and his
son, James.
Mayor Beall made his hit with Mr.
Gould by opposing race suicide. Some
time ago. when certain fiat owners in
Alton refused to rent to families with
children. Mr.. Beall erected a row of
flats and would not rent to families
without babies. In addition he pre-
sented baby buggy to the parents of
every child born in his building. Before
he had given away half dozen bug
gies he was elected mayor.
Mr.. Gould heard about it, considered
Mr.. Beall was doing a good work, and
made a will in his favor. His relatives
did not like this and when Mr.. Gould
died brought suit to break the Will.
Their strongest evidence was the
poetry.

DIGGING BY ARTIFICIAL HEAT
Huoe salamanders Used to Drive the
Frost From the Ground
In Minneapolis
rnaoinl 70 The Herald.

Epecial to The Herald
MINNEAPOLIS, March 11-An inter-
esting mode of conducting winter
building operations may be seen at 6O7
First street northeast, where the ex-
cavation is being made for large five
story building for the Whitcomb-Noble
company.
An area in excess of that to be COW
cred by the factory was inclosed in
temporary shed last week. Then for
three days the temperature within the
shed was kept to more than tropic heat
by the burning of soft coal in salaman-
ders. At the end of this time the
ground had softened sufficiently to
make digging with a pick and shovel
an easv matter. The fires, however,
are still maintained and within the
wooden inclosure thirty men with
sleeves rolled up load the dirt and, al
though two wide doorways are left
open for the dozen teams that are
coming and going, they feel no more
relief from the outside cold than one
might feel from the north pole on a
July day.
The contract of the builders, john
son & Peterson. calls for a completion
of the brick and stone walls by the
last of April. The stone foundations
will be finished by the end of the
coming week. The shed covering will
be left undisturbed until the are fin
ished. But the brick will be laid with
out it's protection and unless extremely
severe weather sets in the laying will
go on INCREASINGLY.
Some Portland cement is used in the
mortar for the stone and as this hard
ems rapidly there will be no waiting
for the foundation walls to set before
beginning the superstructure.
A covering is used for the laying of
the stone and not for the laying of
brick in cold weather, as the brick
have greater powers of absorption, TAX
ing up the moisture before it has time
to freeze and thus disintegrate the
mortar. The laying of the finished
brick in a single course consumes
mortar at a far slower rate than is
the case in laying several courses of
common brick in back and side walls.
The mortar for all the work will be
made in the basement and then
hoisted to the bricklayers on the walls,
and because of the slower rate of the
work those who lay the finished brick
will have the triangular salamanders
burning at the corner of their mortar
boards.
