ICE A NoS-CoNDUCToR.
Simple Plan for Dispensing With
Ordinary Insulation.

Ice is an almost perfect non-con-
ductor of electricity. In this connec-
ton n prominent engineer has sug-
gested the use of a pipe of metal for
an electrical conductor. 1t would be
immersed in a subway kept filled
with water and through II cold brine
from freezing machine would be
allowed to circulate. This would
freeze the water In contact with the
pipe, thereby insulating it. The brine
could be used In supplying artificial
cold 10 refrigerators in stores, mar
kets, or even In private houses.
The simplicity OF the project and
the complete dispensing with ordi-
nary insulation are very.striking.

THE GOOD THINGS IN LIFE.

Il SEE positively nothing in life to
be happy about. said the mprose
man. MY life is a habit On dun
routine of working. eating. sleeping,
working. eating, sleeping.
Truly there is nothing so dull as
ONLY working. eating. sleeping. And
so far the morose man was right
But this man was laboring under a
delusion that the zenith of all arth
ly ambitions is money and the kind
of pleasures it brings.
When work Is made pleasure
then it ceases TO be work and is re-
creation. When one is not thankful
for thg bountiful supply of food on
his table then he Is not as well on
as the poor peasant who sincerely
thanks God for the crust of black
bread between him and starya ion.
And sweet are the dreams Of him
who is thankful for a shelf and bed
to rest himself after hard days Ia
Dor.
There are many good things in
life that the millionaire does not per
ceive as be goes hertling along the
highway in his ponderoua auto. And
these same things are the ones that
make the poor man happy.
Because there is real pleasure in
winning ones daily bread a pleasure
in being tired. a pleasure in having
responsibility. and duties. The good
things Of life are within reach Of all

things of life by not recognizing
them. For the only good things that

POSTOFflCE
TO BE ABOLISHED
Another Old Landmark Fades Away
Chris BaIduf. Postmaster for Quart
er Of a Century.

With the opening of the New
Year, the postofice of Arroyo,
Cameron County, Texas, will be
come a thing of the past, an order
having been issued by the depart
ment abolishing the Office. From
the end of this year the business
heretofore handled by the Arroyo
Office will go through the postoflce
of Harrington.
Arroyo is one of the oldest post
Offices on the border, having been
headquarters for the distribution of
the mail for large territory sur
rounding the Arroyo Colorado for
many years. Arroyo was former
ly one of the principal stations or
the Alice and Brownsville stage
line. 1t was quite busy center
for traders in hides, wool, bones
etc, and tbs posto flee there was
one of the most important rural
Offices IN the county. 1t was
located in the large general store
of Christian Baldu5, aud Mr. Bd
duff held the position OF postmaster
of Arroyo for twenty Ave years
The vanishing OF old landmarks
like these is a necessary result OF
the new order OF things on the
Hover Rio Grande. OF course mons
regret the change. yet there is some
thing akin to pathos in the fading
away of old institutions that have
been SO long familiar to the old
