NATURE'S ICE HOUSES.
In Which Im for llie Hint*
Thiit Frequent the Arctic llcitionn
Abundance of Fooil.
The number of birds that goto the
arctic regions to breed is vast beyond
conception. They go not by thou
sands, but by tens and hundreds of
thousands, and because nowhere else
in the world does nature provide at the
same time and in the same place such
a lavish prodigality of food, says Pear
son's Magazine.
The vegetation consists of cran
berry, cloudberry and crowberry
bushes, and these, forced by the per
petual sunshine of the arctic summer,
bear enormous crops of fruit. But the
crop is not ripe until the middle and
end of the arctic summer, and if the
fruit-eating birds had to wait until it
was ripe they would starve in the
meantime, so they arrive on the very
day of'the melting of the snow.
Hut each year the snow descends on
an immense crop of ripe fruit before
the birds have time to gather it.it is
thus preserved perfectly fresh and
pure, and the melting of the snow dis
closes the bushes, with the uncon
sumeil last year's crop hanging on
them or lying, ready to be eaten, on
the ground.
The frozen meal stretches across
the breadth of northern Asia, it never
decays and is accessible lhe moment
the snow melts. The same heat which
thaws the fruit brings into being the
most prolific insect life in the world—
the mosquito swarms on the tundra.
Nn Kuropean can live there without a
veil after the snow melts. The gun
barrels are black with them and
clouds of them often obscure the
tsifiht.
Thui4 the insect-eating birds iiave
only to open their mouths to fill them
with mosquitoes, and thus tlie\ pres
ence of swarms of cliff chaffs, pipis
<ind the wagtails in this arctic region
is accounted for.
Old >lllll'* AdvimtnecH,
A man past .10 can do with lessfsleep
than younger men. He can endure
"•renter steady and prolonged strain,
lie can bear his burden, day after day,
with less need of recreation. The
voting man can "sprint," but he can
not "stay" like the man with brain
grown iron and nerves steel by many
years of training. Elderly men are
less temptablc. They are of fixed
moral habit. Appetite and passion are
under control. For better or for
worse they are a calculable quantity,
with slight varial ions to be taken into
the account. Elderly men are more
loyal as friends, if they are friends.
Their attachment, to a cause or a com
mercial house is less changeable.
They have, moreover, given bonds for
good behavior in the persons of grown
families, whose respect is to them
dearer than life. They know the diffi
culty of repairing mistakes. Elderly
men actually have experience. The
older man best reads character. He is
the wisest to select agents.—Wash

EscrcUc* Tllnt Develop »lic I.iiil&a
AN<! Perfect the W hole MUNCU
lur Syatein,
From lhe beginning, the utmost im
portance is attached to proper
breathing, without which there can
be no physical excellence. At the be
ginning and end of each drill the
men are required to devote several
minutes to inflating and deflating
their lungs. They breathe slowly and
j deeply, inspirations being through
j the nostrils and expiration either by
nose or mouth. Holding the breath
until it can no longer be held is ab
solutely harmful. Inhalation may be
accompanied by any part of an arm
or shoulder exercise that will ele
vate and distend the thorax, such as
raising the arms laterally, while that
part of an exercise which tends to
contract the walls of the chest
should be accompanied by exhala
tion, as lowering the arms laterally
from the shoulders or from over
head. When exercise is followed be
labored breathing, it is a certain
sign that the work has been exces
sive, and such an extreme is a fre
quent cause of injury to the heart or
lungs. Palpitation or distressful
breathing calls for immediate and
absolute rest, which is best obtained
by lying flat on the hack, with arms
and legs outstretched, writes Lieut.
H. J. Koehler, I T . S. A., in Success.
Exercising is never permitted im
mediately' before or after a meal,
digestion being considered much
more important. During the exer
cises water, not too cold, may be
taken in small sips, but merely rins
ing the mouth is recommended. Aft
er exercise, the body must return to
its normal condition before eating
is allowed. Cadets, during exercise,
wear soft canvas shoes, uniform
trousers and gray flannel shirts, wool
next to the skin being considered in
dispensable. Bathing is ordered in
connection with exercise, for no man
who merely cleanses the surface of
his skin can he expected to possess
a clean cuticle. A bath after a good
"sweat" accomplishes the flushing of
the millions of perspiration ducts in
j the body. Though a cold bath is now
; generally preferred for healthy men,
J it is impossible to 1,-13' down an in-
I flexible rule. All depends upon the.
condition of the individual, and he
i alone can be the judge. Any bath
! tliht leaves the bather in a state of
| mental depression and physical lassi
| tude must lie avoided, as only that
; bath which leaves one better in mind
I and body is beneficial. For cleansing
j the body a warm bath, with plenty
of soap, is advised. For stimulation,
I a cold plunge bath of short duration,
1 taken before the body cools, is best.
This latter bath must be followed
by a brisk rubbing' with a coarse
towel. Where neither is possible, a
sponge bath with tepid water, fol
lowed by brisk rubbing, is the one
to use. In this connection, bathing
the stomach by drinking water free
ly, both at rising and retiring, is
strongly recommended to all.
Four GeitcrntioiiH of Soldiers,
Soldiering seems to run in the blood
of certain families. A typical instance
of this is furnished in the person of
Mr. William Smith, chief janitor at the
Kdinburgli ltoyal Infirmary. Smith's
father was a soldier, he himself and
four of bis brothers "took the shill
ing" one after another, and he has
given four sons and a grandson to the
army. This, therefore, is a case of "sol
diering" carried through four succes
sive generations, and the youngest of
them all is able to make the proud,
perhaps unique, boast that not only
his great-grandfather, his grandfa
ther and his father, but four grand
uncles and three uncles, all served their
sovereign in the ranks.—London Tele

GATE THAT CAHNOT SAG.
Invrntri) by n Xfw York Stntf I'arm
r-r U lii) (.'onMidcr* II a Device of
Hare Merit.
A subscriber living in Westfield,
Chautauqua county, N. V., who pre
fers that liis name should not lie
1 used in print, sends to the New
York Tribune a description of a pate
which he constructed several years
ago on a farm where he then lived.
Its great merit is that it never sags.
For gateposts he used eight by j
eight timbers, set fully 12 feet apart.
1 With the idea of letting a load of
j hay through, the cap piece ought to
J be fully 12 feet above the ground,
i and may be advantageously cut out J
of six by eight stuff. The posts j
| should be set in stone or cement, so |
( as to be proof against the action of ,
j the frost. A sill or threshold is also
j provided. This should measure six .
I by eight or eight by eight and con- j
I sist of oak or chestnut. The better j
the timber for the rest of this frame
the longer it will lust.
The full length upright of each
j gate is made by four by four liard
| wood scantling. The upper ends are
rounded, and inserted in holes bored

1 in the lower side of (but not en
tirely through) the cap piece. The
pins of the lower ends should be of j
I metal. Pieces of sawmill plate, in
• which holes have been punched,
should be fastened to the sill for
these pins to play in. Thus the pins
will be kept from vtearing the wood. |
A similar plate should be placed j
where the gates meet, to accommo- !
| date the vertical bolt on one of them, j
| The other gate should have a latch.
The slats and braces may be made |
| from stuff l'/ 4 inches thick and four ;
j inches wide. They are attached to
' each other and to the uprights with j
! bolts. The short braces are on the j
opposite side of the slats from the
long ones, so that the same bolt may
go through both where they over
lap. When finished, the frame and
gates should be well painted.
It will l>e seen that these gates can
) be used singly or together, and that j
I they swing in either direction. It i
is always a convenience to have a
j gate swing away from you, no mat- j
! ter from which side you approach.
THE AGE OF TOOLS.
Farmer* Mont Keep Puce vrlll> Mod

evitably Fall Ilehlnd.
The tools and machinery oi Amer
: ica are capturing the world. The ina
| chine, with its unerring accuracy, has j
i taken the place of human hands in j
every department of industry, and has
| immensely increased the productive
capacity of the artisan. On the farm,
J too, the same rule controls. The mod
| ern binders have superseded the old,
slow methods of the harvest, and made
the great grain fields a possibility. [
To the effective use of machinery on
the farm is due the great exporting
capacity of the country, and in every j
avocation in life it is the man behind
! the machine that is moving civilization j
; forward.
Brain power is taking the place of I
i human muscle, and the result is an
elevation of the farmer to a higher ■
plane, requiring the application of
business methods to agriculture. The
inevitable tendency of the increased
use of machinery on the farm is the
increase in acreage in the hands of
one man, since the machines make in
tensive culture possible over larger
areas. The more effective the ma
chines are made the wider scope they
will need, and great farms, conducted
011 wise business methods, will become
more and more common as men realize
the possibilities of such culture. The I
great accumulations of capital will not :
always be kept out of the farm, for j
the capitalists will come to see what j
money will do in businesslike farm- |
ing. It is the age of tools and ma- j
chinery, and the farm must keep up
with the procession. Practical |

I'reimrliiß Soil for Potatoes.
Preparation of the land is an es- ;
eentiftl too often neglected. It has i
been asserted that not infrequently ;
one-lialf of the potato crop is lost bv !
means of insufficient preparation of !
the soil. Of one of the noted potato '
growers of Wisconsin it used to be i
said: "lie works the ground so much I
that the potatoes do not know in i
which direction to grow to find the i
surface. So thw fill the soil full." j
Sometimes the best of potato grow- '
ers slight the preparation of their
soil because of a rush of other farm ■
work at the time their potato land !
is being prepared. No after cultiva- !
tion can atone for the neglect of
thorough preparation; for in no case
can the soil under the hills be af- j
fected by the cultivation given in :
the rows.—Farmers' lteview. '

The authorities have refused to copyright
a Scotch whisky label that bears in large
vstarinn letters "King Kdward Vil."
They claim that the names of living people
are their own property, and 1 hat other
people have no right to demand a propri
etary interest in them. They also suggest
that it would he well tor whisky men to get
King Edward's consent before taking any
such liberty as the one proposed. But who
expects that the king will consent to the
use of his name? He would be foolish if
he did.
Just picture a line of thirsty men ranged
along a bar.
"Fill your glasses, gentlemen," gays the
man who buys, and they solemnly pass the
bottle of "King Kdward VII." along the
line. "A toast, gentlemen. Up with your
glasses. Are you ready? Then down with
the king."
And they solemnly down him. —Cleveland
