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

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.
