Paying due honor to the fact that Froet Is king in the ice business, a natural process of manufacturing ice at a nominal expense has recently The keen perfected and patented. theory of the process is in taking advantage of natural conditions and improving upon nature in minor details.

Bishop William Croswell Doane of Albany recently entertained J. Pier-pon- t Morgan at Northeast Harbor. Bishop Doane was at one time the rector of an Episcopal church in Hartford, and the services at this church Mark Twain would occasionally attend. Twain, one Sunday, played a joke upon the rector.

I have, you know,, a book at home containing every word of it "You have not, said Dr. Doane. "I have so, said the humorist Well, send that book to me. Id like to see It Ill send It," Twain replied. And he sent, the next morning, an unabridged dictionary to the rector. Boston Post Birds Nest in Gas Pipe. sometimes choose queer places to build their homes.
