IN COLDEST MiSKA
PHENOMENA RESULTING FROM
LOW TEMPERATURE.
Vegetables, Fruit, Eggs, Etc., Al-
lowed to Freeze Hard as Bul-
lets and Thawed When
Used.
I
Strange manifestations appear (in
Alaska) as a result of the extreme
cold, one is the way a fire burns in the
stove. It roars and crackles like a
great forge, and wood in the stove
seems to dissolve in the flames like a
chunk of ice; the wood is gone and we
wonder where the heat went. At 60
■degrees below, every stovepipe throws
out a great white cloud of smoke and
vapor, resembling a steamboat in its
whiteness, and this cloud streams
away for 50 to 100 feet, writes Chester
W. Tennant, in Popular Mechanics.
Prospectors, in attempting to boil a
dish of rice or beans upon a campflre
unprotected from the weather, find
that the side of the dish which is in
the fire will boil while the part of the
dish exposed to the weather has
frozen. To remedy this, the dish is
6et completely into the fire.
Edged tools subjected to this tem-
perature become as hard and brittle
as glass and will break as readily un-
der strain. I have seen a pop safety
valve blowing off steam when weather
was below 60 degrees, with icicles
which had formed by the condensa-
tion while it was blowing off hanging
from the outer rim of the valve.
All vegetables, potatoes, apples,
fruit, eggs, etc., can be allowed to
freeze until they become like bullets.
To make ready for use, place them in
cold water half a day before using,
and the frost will slowly withdraw
without injury to the article.
(Exposed parts of the body would
freeze in thi£ temperature while going
the distance of one block. Mr. Ten-
nant tells of remarkable results ob-
tained by thawing out frozen feet,
iiands or ears in coal oil. The mem-
bers are immersed in the oil, some-
times for four or five hours, and they
thaw without leaving any injurious
results. The hint from the north bay
may be well worth remembering to
those exposed to the severer turns of
temperature in our own winters. Of
the kerosene treatment Mr. Tennant
says:)
This is absolutely a safe remedy,
and one thus escapes the surgeon's
knife, as no bad results follow. This
is not hearsay, as a man was saved a
few years ago at our office by the night
watchman who found him in the snow
(four degrees below zero) and both
* hands frozen to the wrists. He was
taken into the office and treated as
above for about five hours, when all
the frost was drawn out without so
much as losing a finger tip.
The physicians were amazed, as they
thought amputation would have to be
resorted to. His hands were as white
and hard as marble, and when placed
in the oil they snapped and crackled
as the oil began to act upon the ice
crystals.
This remedy should be remembered
by all residents of cold climates, as it
would save many a limb. The temper-
ature of the oil should be about the
same as that of the living room (about
60 degrees above zero.)
One has to be careful about touch-
ing things with unprotected hands. It
is dangerous to take hold of a door
knob when it is 60 degrees below zero
or thereabouts, with the uncovered
hand, unless you are careful instantly
to release your hold, for if you do it
will freeze your inner palm in five
•seconds, be very painful thereafter,
and the result is the same as from
touching a redhot stove.
Coal oil begins to thicken at 40 de-
grees below, and at 60 and 70 degrees
below becomes as thick as lard, or but
a very little darker, and can be cut
out of the can with a knife the same
as you would cut lard or butter.

The young man was trying to think
of something else to say when the
young woman suddenly spoke up.
"By the way, Mr. Lingerlong," she
said. "I tried to call you up by tele-
phone this morning, but I didn't get
any response."
"You tried to call me up by tele-
phone?"
"Yes; I wanted to ask you a ques-
tion."
"Why, I haven't any telephone num-
ber."
"O, yes you have. Double six four
seven."
The young man made a rapid mental
calculation.
"Twenty-three!" he gasped, reaching
for his hat.—Chicago Tribune.

"Cive me the city hall, please," said
the lady to the conductor of the street

"I should be glad to do so, madam,"
replied the conductor, who was a new

by the rules of the company, which
Insisted upon employes being courte-
ous and obliging. "I should, indeed,
be glad to do so, but the lady over
there with the green feather in her

got on the car. Is there any other
building that would suit you just as
well?"—Detroit Free Press.

KNIFED.
Farls.—Having lost every cent of
his ready money at the gaming tables,
an English visitor at Monte Carlo
wired a pathetic appeal for help to a
friend in England. Two days later he
received a letter, addressed in the
friend's handwriting, which on being
opened revealed a five-pound note.
Without pausing to read the lettei
the plunger hastened to Ciro's, the fa-
mous restaurant in the Galerlo
Charles III., and changed his "fiver''
into French money. From Ciro's he
went straight into the Casino, where,
experiencing an extraordinary run of
luck, he not merely retrieved all his
previous losses but gained a substan-
tial increase in the bargain.
Weary of play, he retired with a
few cronies to Ciro's again to cele-
brate the occasion. The usually genial
M. Ciro met him at the door of his
establishment with a flood of re
proaches and upbraidings. The five-
pound note was bad! He waved it
angrily in the plunger's face—mais
oui, it was false, this five-pound note^
The plunger took the guilty "fiver"
and scrutinized it carefully. It was
one of the sham bank notes issued by
the late Sir Augustus Harris, and
bearing on their face an advertise-
ment of the Drury Lane pantomime.
The English friend, himself as
"broke" as the plunger, had posted
him the flagrantly worthless note as a
joke—a joke which, had the plunger
taken the trouble to examine the
"fiver" or read its covering letter, he
would have seen only loo clearly him-
self. It was fortunate that he did
not do so. He merely paid Ciro his
five pounds, and, inviting the pacified
restaurateur to share in the cham
pagne, pretended that the whole affaii
was an intentional witticism.

A CRITICAL PERIOD
INTELLIGENTWOMEN PREPARE
Dangers and Pain of This Critical Period
Avoided by the Use of Lydia E. Pink-
ham's Vegetable Compound.
ITow many wo-
men realize that
the most critical
period in a wo-
man's existence
is the change of
life, and that the
anxiety felt by
women as this
time draws near
is not without
__ reason ?
If her system is in a deranged condi-
tion, or she is predisposed to apoplexy
or congestion of any organ, it is at this
time likely to become active and, with
a host of nervous irritations, make lite
a burden.
At this time, also, cancers and tumors
are more liable to begin their destruc-
tive work. Such warning symptoms as
a sense of suffocation, hot flashes, diz-
ziness, headache, dread of impending
evil, sounds in the ear9, timidity, pal-
pitation of the heart, sparks before the
eyes, irregularities, constipation, varia-
ble appetite, weakness and inquietude
are promptly heeded by intelligent
women who are approaching the period
of life when woman's great change
may be expected.
We believe Lydia E. Pinkham s Veg-
etable Compound is the world s great-
est remedy for women at this trying
PCLvdia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com-
pound invigorates and strengthens the
female organism, and builds up the
weakened nervous system as no other
medicine can. ,
Mrs. A. E. G. Hyland, of Chester-
town, Md„ in a letter to Mrs. Pink-
ham, says:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—
" I had been suffering with a displacement
for years and was passing through the change
of life I had a good deal of soreness, dizzy
spells, headaches, and was very nervous l
wrote you for advice and commenced treat-
ment with Lydia E. Pinkhams \ egetable
Compound as you directed, and I a™ kappy
to say that all those distressing symptomsleft
me and I have passed safely through the
change of life & well woman.
For special advice regarding this im-
portant period women are mvlted to

She is daughter-in-law of Lydia hi.
