Filling Ice-Houses with Water.

When the weather is extremely cold,
an ice-house may be filled with water in
few hours, thus forming one large and
unbroken cake, provided the water be
properly introduced. But the house can
not be filled, satisfactorily, except in
very cold weather, when water that Is
passed through a rose spout will be so
thoroughly chilled, while it is falling,
that it will rapidly CONCEAL. The chief
idea is, to introduce the water through a
spout at the top f the upper door, let
ting it spread as it falls. In the descent,
in drops and sprays, the water will be
chilled to freezing point by the time it
reaches the ice bed.
Let a piece Of India rubber hose be
connected with force pump in the well,
or any other fountain, by means of which
water may be forced to the top of the
ice-house. Now, let the apartment be
prepared as for cakes of zee. Direct the
rose spout SO that the water will fall all
over the surface of the ice-bed, CONCEAL
ing as fast as it falls. Only small guam
tity should be run on at first, lest the wa
ter flow down through the straw or chat,
which should be kept dry AS soon as
thick covering of ice has been formed,
say one inch thick, let it freeze for an
hour or two, after which the water may
be turned on as fast as it will CONCEAL.
Small sheaves of long straw should be
set up all around the outside, and the
struggling straws should be pressed into
the sheaves, so as to form a smooth sur
face. Throw little water on the sides
of the sheaves as fast as it will freeze.
In a short time water-tisht reservoir
may be made, four or more feet deep,
having ice sides and ice bottom all water
tight. But it would not do to fill such
reservoir with water rapidly, as the
heat in the water would be liable to melt
a passage through the ice sides. In case
a small stream of water could be turned,
temporarily, from its original channel to
the ice-house, let hogshead be sunk in
the ground near the door, SO that the
stream may flow over one side of this
reservoir. Then the water could be ele-
waited with force pump to the desired
height. In case everything were in read
mess, when the temperature of the at
mosphere is at zero, the labor of filling
such an ice-house with running water
would be much less than to do it with ice
that must be hauled any considerable
distance. In case snow is abundant and
water scarce, after good foundation of
ice mas been formed in the house, clean
snow might be carried in to the depth Of
tive feet, pressed down tightly with
board, thea saturated with water, and
left to CONCEAL during cold night.

TOUCHING ScENE.-A beautiful Incl.
dent occurred recently in a Western
town. In one of the rooms of the pub.
nc school is lame girl who is dismissed
oy the teacher before the others, SO that
no harm may befall her when they crowd
out together. Not long ago the build.
ing took fre, and the scholars rushed
for the doors in all the rooms but one
the one where the lame girl had her

excitement until their unfortunate com.

GUARD AGAINST VULGAR LANGUAGE.
There is as much connection between
the words and the thoughts as there is
between the thoughts and the actions.
The latter is only an expression of the
former, but they have a power to react
upon the soul, and leave the stain of cor.
ruption there. A young man who al.
lows himself to use one vulgar or pro-
iane word, has only shown there is a foul
spot upon his mind; but, by the utter
ance OF that word, he extends that spot
and infiames it, till, by indulgence, it
Will pollute and ruin the soul. Be care
iui OF your words as of your thoughts.
II you can control the tongue that no
improper words are pronounced by it,

mind, and save it from corruption. You
exiingulsh the fire by smothering it, or
oy preventing bad thoughts bursting in
to language. Never utter a word anv.
where which you would be ashamed to
speak IN the presence of the most refined
female or the most religious man. Try

A DOUBLE LIFE.-Sonambulists ap.
pear to live double life, in illustration
of which the Troy Times tells the fol.
lowing:
A farmer residing in Bristol, Ontario
county, in this State, is sonambulist.
One day while working in the field, he
lost an iron tooth from the harrow with
which he was putting in his wheat crop.
| He hunted an hour to find it, but was
un uccessful During the ensuing night
he arose from his bed, partially dressed
himself, and started out. The night was
very dark /; one of his boys followed him
with lantern. He kept up running
talk with himself aboutthe drag TOOTH"
He walked in a straight line to the field
where he had been laboring, perhaps
quarter of mile from his residence.
Arriving at q certain point he stopped
short, kicked away some earth and
brought forth the missing tooth Then
turning square around he proceeded di-
rect'y to his home. Arriving at the door
he performed the feat of lifting the heavy
stone step, which required the combined
strength of himself and another man to
raise the next morning. He threw the
tooth under the step, let down the stone
easiIy saving "there Won are and can't !
get away again" and then coolly, and
apparently without the least excitement,
retired to his chamber. disrobed himself
and went to bed. He was entirely I'M
conscious the next morning of what he
had been doing Now the question is,
what peculiar power enabled the man to
perform this wonderful feat? 1t would
seem little less than a miracle, but of its
truth as related there is no doubt.

The NIMRoD OF THE PERIoD-A
PRETTY Touch PANTHER SToRY.-A
correspondent of tn. Glen's Falls Mes
senger gives the following particulars
concerning some of the adventures of the
Moose River hunters:
Last summer one of the party, Erwin
Hoxie, while walking along leisurely,
came suddenly face to face with large
panther The animal gave no sign of
retreat, but fixed for jump, ready to
pounce upon the man. Hoxie immedi-
ately drew his hunting knife, and with
the most daring bravery prepared to
meet his game. The savage beast gave
fearful leap toward him. Springing
one side as the panther passed him he
plunged his knife into the animals heart.
killing him instantly. With great glee
Hoxie carried the panther into the camp.
remarking that he thought he was gone
up. Hoxie is about twenty-one years of
age, and has never doue much of any,
thing aside from hunting and fishing.
The veracious correspondent vouches for
another incident in Hoxie's life, which
reminds us of the story we heard when
boy of farmer who quit his moving
and caught deer in snow drift over the
fence from the hay field. Young Hoxie
at one time chased deer to the bank of
the river. and was Just in time to catch
hold of it as it plunged into the water,
and springing upon its back young Hox-
lie drowned the deer in the river. and
then towed the body safely ashore.

ing, after the battle of Waterloo. The
first invasion of France by the allied
armies commenced in the last days of
December, 1913, when q Pruss;an
corps, under Butcher, crossed the
Rhine near Mannheim, and reached the
opposite shore in the face of vigorous
fire of cannon and musketry. One by
one, other DIVISIONS of the Grand Ar
my crossed, at d;ffereut points, led by
several European sovcreigns and gen-
erals of wide renOwn. until hostile ar
mics embracing nearly million of
men, were on French soil, resolved
not to lay down their arms until Ma
poleon l, was dcthrOned. But it was
full three months before the combined
armies stormed the heights of Mont
martre, and compelled the surrender
OF the ely. The progress from the
Rhine to the capital was slow, and
would prObablynever have been ac-
cOmplished, but for the fact that the
people of France had become weary
of warfare, and were ready to receive
even the cXilcd Bourbon king, as re-
lief from their distrcsses. On the fifth
of March, Napoleon issued a call for
the universal rising of the people, but
it was all-in vain and i'm less than a
month the allies had entered the city,
and the Emperor was on his journey
to Elba. The second invasion was af-
ter the battle of Waterloo.

by Gen. Buthcrfcld i'm this city?
And then / want to ask him to answer
this question: Did he pay that one
thousand dollars subscription, or was
it not paid by us, with Mr.. Gould's
check? That is the point involved.
That's the point at issue. Whether
Rawlins died indebted to Grant, and
if so, whether Grant destroyed the
evidence of that Indebtedness, and
now authorizes the publication of that
performance to wound the feelings of
his friends widow and half orphan
children, are matters with which we
have had nothing TO do. Thank God,
we have never raised any such issue.
We leave Grant to abide the consc-
qucnces of introducing such new ma
ter. as the lawyers say, into the case.
What we say is that Grant subscribed
one thousand dollars to the Rawlin's
fund got up here in New York by
Gen. Butterfield, and that we paid
that subscription for him, with
Gould's check, as stated in the Sun
YESTERDAY. Now let Grant or his au-
thorized agent deny that if he will,
and then we will show our proofs.
We are not going to be led astray
from that issue by any special plea
ding, ar by the introduction of irrele-
want matter. We plant ourselves on
that one point, as to this business.
We have enough other sharp sticks
for Graut whenever we choose to
probe him with them. But one
thing at a.time is our motto. That's
the way our prosperity comes. The
American eagle is our bird, and
Grant can't get us into choosing any
of his barn-yard bantams while that
monarch of the air scars in triumph
| over the Western codtinent."

respect.
