The wind had abated, and bis cries
rang out through the night with startling
distinctness The light he had seen
moved and DISAPPEARED. A minute later
answering cries reached Lowder's ears,
and he heard hasty steps, and saw the
approaching light of lantern, borne
aloft by mans appraised arm.

bearer was rough Sicilian fisherman, q

was also Sicilian, but evidently of some

citement, establishment aud sympathy.
In as few words as possible Lowder
told the story of the shipwreck, and
called attention to the condition of his

The two Sicilians lifted the helpless

ICE.-Fyery farmer should lay up a
stock of ice for use in his cellar and dairy
in summer. 1t costs but little to construct
an ice house large enough,to contain q
supply for farmers family,even if dairy
is 10 be taken into account. II good water
for ice cannot be obtained near the home
stead, 1t will pay to construct pond for
this purpose, if sufficient pure water to
fill it can be made available. BY sinking
q well and erecting windmill for raising
the water, an abundant supply can be
obtained. A house ten by ten and eight
feet high, constructed with the walls and
roof double, the spaces filled in with
sawdust will hold ice enough,if sufficient
drainage is provided. The larger the body
Office is the longer will 1T keep. A house
twelvesby twelve, or one fifteen by fifteen
will preserve ice for period in proper
ton to the dimensions. The first of the
season, provided it is thick enough, is
considered the best by experienced ice
men. HeH
APPOINTED ANEcDoTE Sir w. Stir
ling Maxwell in recent lecture on the
1.-TWO Napoleons," at Stirling, England,
told this anecdote "In the Comics
sion of Rousseau, there is story hog
that singular man, being then ignorant
of the art of musical composition, gave
out that he had written an important
piece, and invited his musical friends ct
Lausanne to perform it. The piece was
written out in several partitions, on the
usual ruled paper, and had all the ap
pearance OF music. But when the
musicians came to try it, they found that
they produced nothing but medley of
discord, and that they and not their in
struments were played upon. As Rous
seau arranged his musical signs and as
sembled his performers, SO Napoleon
seems to have surrounded himself with
the terrible machinery of war.
