FRIeHTFUL DEGREE OF COLD.
Frost's Intensity Hard for DweIlers In
Temperate Chimes to Realize.

1t is difficult for us to form any con-
ception of the degree Of cold repre-
sented by the so degrees of frost re-.
corded from certain parts of Russia.
Sir Leopold McClintock tells how In
one of his Arctic expeditions sailor
was foolish enough to do some outdoor
work at precisely this temperature.
His hands froze and when he rushed
into the cabin and plunged one of
them into a basin of water so cold
was the hand that the water was in
stantly converted into block Of ice.
At rs degrees, DR.. Kane says, the
mustache and under lip form pendu-
lous beads of dangling ice. Put out
your tongue and 1t instantly freezes to
this icy crusting. Your chin has a
trick of freezing to your upper jaw by
the luting aid of your beard; my eyes
have often been so glued as to show
that even wink was unsafe"

MOUTH NO PLACE FOR COINS.
Dangerous Practice Too Frequently
INDUCED in by Women.

Women are addicted to many per
nicious habits observed a physician,
but ! cannot conceive of one that Is
more idiotic than the placing Of coins
In the mouth while the purse or money
bag is being opened. Most women do
this, especially In the street cars, and
are doubtless unmindful of the fact
that they are thereby inviting danger
GUS throat and lung troubles. have
often watched women holding coins
between their lips, and have been
very strongly tempted to utter an ad.

beautiful girl give conductor a
dime. Sitting opposite to her was a
dirty-looking man, whose hands looked
as IL they hadn't been washed for a
week. He gave the conductor nickel
and the conductor handed It to the
young women In change for her dime.
She placed 1t between her lips while
she opened her money bag. Why does
not some ingenious woman introduce
a small pocket or some device In the
feminine wardrobe that will take the
place Of the lips for holding coins
Certainly she would be benefactor

The Hearty Laugh.

We have faith in the man who can
laugh heartily. 1t is not only a sign
Of health and good nature. but an In.
dication of the spirit of looking on
the bright side of things. which con.
tributes so much to success. The wis.
dom and sanctity of a man Is nc
longer estimated by the length OF his
countenance, nor by his refusal to un'
bend his dignity so far as to laugh on
occasion. The cheerful smile, the
frank, open laugh, are two of the most
helpful influences which a man is able
to bestow on comrade or friend, and
few Of us have been so unfortunate
as to have failed to experience the
benefits of both. Let us all wear a
sunny countenance. therefore, not
only for our own happiness but fol
our neighbors and friends.-Farm Life

The Loves Of a Violinist.

"A violinist," said M. Ysaye, 'can

by an alleged Guadagnini in a pawn
brokers' window in Hamburg. Buy
ing 1t was out of the question, and
the pawnbroker, after much persua-
sion, only consented to lay aside the
instrument for awhile. Even then pos
session seemed remote until Ysaye,
meeting demonstrating friend
actually fired him with so much en-
thusiasm for fiddles that he consented
to leave a bag OF stones with the
pawnbroker as security for the in
strument. In this way" says Ysaye

Game Of Loggats Revived.

A club has been formed in western
Canada to play the old English game
of loggats which has long fallen into
disuse in the old country. The pas.
time Is alluded to by Shakespeare.
The game consists in throwing a
pin called loggat at a stake driven
into the ground. The player who gets
his loggat neares the mark wins.
This is essentially our French game
Of quoits, which every one in America
pronounces "quates' The difference
is that we use a heavy disk, or in
many regions a horseshoe instead OF
a pin.
OF loggats, Stevens, the Shakesper-
ian commentator, who died in 1900,
says: II have seen it played in diff
ferent counties at their sheep shearing
feasts, where the winner was entitled
to a black fleece, which he afterward
presented to the farmers maid to
spin for the purpose of making petit
coat on condition that she kneel down
on the fleece to be kissed by all the
rustics present. '-Springfield Republic
