Haabury, writing of hfs first experiences In Alaska, said: "Th« cold could not be kept out of even the most palatial examples of domestic architecture which Dawson City could at that time boast, but the author •tuck to the cult of the morning tub. After I had melted the pail of ice on the *air tight' stove I poured some of the water two Inches deep into the bathtub, which I had removed to the rear of the room, where there was no heat,. Not two minutes had elapsed be­ fore/ I threw off my chamois pajamas In the front room and. opening the communicating door, stepped hurried­ ly into the bathtub, for I had no time to lose. Quick as I bad been, the at­ mosphere had been quicker, and just as I stepped into the tub with both feet, wrenching with a great effort the soap from a beam hard by, 1 slipped on the newly frozen ice into the tub, and over we went, soap, tub and my­ self, all separated in different quarters of the room. Those two minutes had feufflced to transmute my water into smooth and glassy ice."

Slairlnr Carpet. 8tanding upon carpet has a tendency to muffle the voice, since a layer of Inelastic and nonconducting material is then interposed between the seat of voice production and the floor, which, when it is not covered, acts as a sound board, taking up the vibrations and .giving increased effect and distinctness to them. Thfs can be illustrated by placing a tlmepiec* flrst upon a rug or carpet and then upon the bare floor. In the latter position the ticking is much louder, because the vibrations of the clock are then much more forcibly communicated to the floor and so to the air of the room and Anally to the ear by actual contuct between the clock and the floor. A carpet damps or kills these vibrations because it is a bad conductor of sound. The differ­ ence, which is so audible in this case, is In some degree to be detected when the voice Is heard under similar con­ ditions. ••Tit For T*t." Professor Skeat in his JStynaological dictionary explains the expression as "blow for blow" and says that it Is a corruption of tip for tap, where tip is a slight tap. He refers to Bullinger's works, l.* 283 (Parker society), the translatiQiwbf which is, I believe, dated 1577. May I be permitted to direct at­ tention to the fact that "tit for tat" had already appeared at an earlier date in uohn Hey wood's "Proverbs," 1&46? Since tit for tat (quoth I) on even hand is set, Set the hares head agaynst the goose Jeblet. Pp. 109, 110, Reprint, 1874. In a note It Is stated that "tit for tat" is simply a corruption for tant pour tant. Halllwell-Phillipps' diction­ ary has "tint for tant, tit for tat"-- Notes and Queries. ' A Dmageroai Trade. The dangers of work in a white lead factory are described by a medical aQthorlty in a discussion of the causes and effects of lead poisoning.' Most of the cases 6ccur among the workers In t!le department where the prepara­ tion of the carbonate of lead is carried on by what is called the "Dutch proc­ ess," In which the lea$-lti sheets, is placed on the top of pots filled with acetic acid and converted first into the subacetate and finally decomposed by carbon dioxide emitted by tar. In mov­ ing the carbonate clouds of white lead dust are easily caused by careless han­ dling on the part of the workmen, and In spite of the respirators worn by them much of the poison is taken into the system.--Harper's Weekly. Artiste' Dlfllealtlea In Paintlac Men. Artists will tell you it is no easy thing to paint a man in a frock coat so' that he shall appeal picturesquely to the casual wayfarer. The modern habiliments affected by the male per­ son do not lend themselves to artistic reproduction on canvas. There are no sclntillant colors, no fine lines of form, in a trousered poseur, and to achieve a successful portrait of a man is to spell the artist's capabilities in capital let­ ters. With women models--well, there the story is of a different cast, just as woman herself is so wholly different, so enchantlngly complex. -- Metropoli­ tan Magazine. Bow We Breathe. Men and women do not breathe alike. In a woman the breathing Is from the thorax, or chest, while in a man it is mainly from the diaphragm, which is lower down. This peculiar difference Is so marked that it is possible to rec­ ognize by It a woman disguised as a man, although the disguise may be faultless in other respects. Most physi­ ologists say that this difference is not due to sex, but owing to artificial con­ ditions, such as the wearing of cor­ sets. .Hendricks Named. Calvin J. Hendricks, the well known Harvard attorney, was appointed mas­ ter in chancery last week by Judge C. H. Donnelly of the circuit conrt. The appointment was made to fill the va cancy caused by the resignation, of George W. Field, who recently went to Washington to take a government posi­ tion. The appointment of Mr. Hend­ ricks to the position will be met with favor, both by the bar and by the peo­ ple. He is a brilliant young attorney, has had considerable practice in the pro­ bate and circnit courts and is in- every way capable of conducting the affairs of the office. Brutally Tortured.
