INSANE DIET OF WORKINQ GIRLS. I'ioi Coffee, I'lcktea and Ice Water Among- the Features. A cIobo observer of working women and their methods of living Insists that the majority die at or before 83, aud gives the conclusion that their man ner of life makes this Inevitable. As tin Illustration of methods, a girl clerk lu the shoe department of ono of the liiiinoUHo modern establishments Is cited. She sat at table with 1110 yester day, and her repast consisted of two glasses of Ice water, two chocolate eclairs, and several pickles! Think of HI This to sustain her through a long afternoon of Uttlng shoes. She dresses well! neither big sleeves nor smart gowns pass her by. A homo-mado hat minus feathers never rests upou her head, but her worn, ueueiiilc face would suggest less feathers aud more nourishing food. The majority of these women lunch upon a piece of plu und a cup of coffee, or a rich spiced pudding nnd a glass of Ice water. Oc casionally ono will rush through an order of fried oysters and hulf a dozen pickles. The wonder Is that they live through the second year. From tho table, where they scarcely allow them selves time to swallow the several mouthfuls ordered, they hurry out to walk or shop, using thus forty of the sixty minutes allowed for dinner. Then buck to the store to stand five hours In high-heeled, unfomfortable shoes, their pitifully attcuuutcu waists tightly clasped In corsets ttud bauds, nnd their trembling little stomachs containing Ice water and pie. Add to tills tho anx ieties naturally attcudlcs a working woman's life, and Is It surprising that their faces look harassed, uervous and bloodless? This Is the state of things for a large proportion of woman work ers, though working girls' clubs aro doing much to educate them out of it. The young ninii clerk lives very dif ferently, even wheu hardly better nblo to afford It Substantial food forms the basis of his meal, with vegetables, a glass of milk, and probably pie, but ho takes It rather leisurely, and strolls back to the store rested and refreshed. Ho is costumed lu a loose, comfortable suit of light-weight woolen, his feet resting upon, not over, the soles of comfortable shoes; his circulation Is unimpaired, and his body fairly well nourished. What wonder that he keeps his nerves well covered, that 111 tem per Muds less home upon his face, and that we find him cheerily selling rib bons long after the girl with whom ho knocked elbows as a cash boy is for gotten. Having lunched for years where hundreds of working girls and women go for tbe midday repast, I sum It up that one In twenty-five orders something tending to strengthen. The other twenty-four leave tbe table more illy fitted for the afternoon's labor than when they sat down. Baltimore Amer ican. Texan Gets Ice from tbe Kky. A remarkable successful plan of ob taining artltlclul ice has been Invented by a Ingenious farmer of El Fjiso, Tex as. Even in the hottest summer day this son of the soil will partly till u tin can with water, attach it to the tail of an enormous kite, and send It to the grout height of three miles, where lu the rarefied atmosphere It is promptly frozen, completely tilling the en u. Aftei a sufficient Interval for this purpose the kite is rapidly hauled In with a wind lass, and the cake of ice removed from the can. But the Inventor Is now per fectlng an even more effective plan for manufacturing ou a large scale, lis sends up a huge kite, l."0 feet long, by a steel wire cuble. I'ndor the kite is susended a pulley, over which runs nu endless chain, benring at Intervals books by which the cans of water art bung. As the cans of water going up Just balance the cans of ice coming dowij but lltllo power Is needed. The can are filled with water from a pond. As each hook passes the operator lv re moves the can of Ice and hangs In lis Mead ono of water. The cable travel:! but three miles nu hour, and, as tlio 0I4 lute Is kept at nu tiltlunlo of from four to six miles, tho cans remain In the cold strata of air quite long cuotigh for the water to become solidified. The Inventor expects to be able to furnish a lo-cent lump for 3 ceuU. Now York Itccorder. EXERCISE IN THE OPEN AIR. Best I'rcvcntlvo of IHsenso of All K Imls TonghciiH the llodjr. We best nrm ourselves ngnlnst nil Cold diseases by availing ourselves of every measure which will tend to "toughen" us.

Should tho cold spell be but short and mild, nnd often Interrupted by sunny days, only the weakest persons suffer. Uut If tho winter Is very, raw nnd long, even strong constitutions fall a direct prey to diseases, or their bodl.'S, usually their entire organism, are so unfavora bly affected that they now have weak ened constitutions disposed to diseases. This Is why tho various lung troubles, especially Inflammation of tho lungs, reach their culmination toward the end of winter, llnlly exercise In the fresh air, under changing conditions of the weather, nnd at nil times of year, Is a menus of resisting tho evil Influences of tho weather. This method of pre vention nnd cure (prophylaxis and ther apeutics) Is made use of lu tho so called climatic watering places. Uut even at home we may accustom our skin to quickly changing conditions of weather by accustoming It to quickly changing temperatures. This Is done by warm baths with a cold showct afterwards, which Is followed by a strong muscular movement that gives a reaction to wartutli again. Thereby not only nro the nerves stimulated to quick action lu thus regulating the beat of the body, but also all the rest of the nervous system Is strengthened and hardened, and with resistance against other depressing and sickening Influences, ngalust ennui nnd morbid ness. Whoever battles valiantly against uulieulthful weather, ran bo come his own master and can even secure for himself vital strength nnd tlie enjoyment of health. Chautau- quan. Missouri's Old Soldiers. Missouri Is a greut country for sol diers. During the great civil war It would appear that almost the entire male population of sutllcleut age was called on to bear arms. Between the Union and Confederate forces there was, as I'hll Kearny phrased It, "love ly fighting along tho whole line." There was no community that did not ex perience tho sights and sounds, tho ex cltements ami alarms of war. After hostilities had ceased the military ele ment was largely reinforced from be yond the Mississippi. In those days Missouri was considered a new country nnd was sought by Immigrants. Cer tain portions of tho State were counted as "homestead country." The disband ed soldiers of both armies came to Mis souri. This gave us a great martial population. Kansas City Star.
