Advice TO n Broken Hearted Young Indy

possible. and starts if l address him. Can
he have ceased TO love me 4! for I know he

we ought not to interfere in this matter:

Soothing Drinks.

During this heated term the subject Of
soothing or cooling beverages IS an import
ant one, and is often discussed over marble
top counters by purchasers and retailers.
One old hummer, the ruby On whose nose
cost lin not only thousands Of dollars but
many years Of time, has got things down
fine. He has arranged ana divided his
daily drinks after this fashion: TIE three
morning toddies are thus named-ante-ma-
tut.nai. matutinal, post-ms:utiral. The
last is JUS, before free lunch is spread. This
nearly wears out the morning. but when
lun Gu is in sight he taxes another and calls
it ante -meridinal; the mex: is at noon, the
meridiual. This last is washed down by
the post-meridinal. Following, toward
evening. he takes his anTe-noctU.na,, then
nocturnal, and after he gets into bed Tor

Feeding Lnnatic Through the Nose.

The eurren. report of the Belfast Hos
pltal for the Insane contains an account of
remarkable case OF woman vEc had
with the utmost pertinacity, refused all
food or drink. For nearly three weeks
after her admission, says the report. she
continued this resistance, during which
time it was necessary to feed her forcibly,
in order 10 prevent her sinking from il
alton. This was accomplished very sue
cesstully, though with great difficulty, by
means OF small glass dish or funnel in
troduced into one nostril, the other being
firmly closed as well as the mouth, while
she lay Oh a lnattrass her hands and feet
being kept confined by attendants to pre-

yolks of eggs, beef essence, etc, were ad
ministered three or four times at short in
tervals during the twenty four hours. till
she came round gradually to take food at
her own accord and lost all her delusions;
and IN the course of couple of months
afterward returned to her family quite re-
stored in mental and physical health.

boo rods long enough to reach half way
across The trough. The water Is taken from
large water-jars sunk deep in the ground
near the pits W here the ice is stored, and
filed from the neignboriug pools or with
DRAWINGS from the ICE. The quantity of
water poured into each pan varies from one
half to one-eighth of pint, depending
upon the clearness Of the sky and til 3
steadiness OF the wind. The most favorable
wind is from the north-Dorthwest; but any
point between north and west answers al
though less ice is produced. II the wind is
between east and south. no ice is formed.
The ice, which begins to appear little be-
fore midnight, is carefully watched by pe--
sons stationed near each trough. As soon
as slight film Of ice appears the contents
Of several pans are mixed together, and the
freezing liquid sprinkled over the others.
The freezing continues till sunrise, when,
perhaps, as much as half an inch of ice will
be found in each pan. In very favorable
nights the water is entirely frozen. In re-
moving the ice the operatives use blunt
semi-ciTcular knife to scoop it cut, throwing
it together with any unirozen water into
earthen vessels placed near them. When
the ice has been sufficiently drained, it is
deposited in wells near the ice beds, and at
night removed to large circular pi.s lined
with mats and covered over with straw
sheds. The ice is conveyed in boats to
Calcutta by night.

ingenuity has devised Of late years for the

or three can be said TO practically realize

4 Layman.s Grace.

A Young married friend tells this Joke on
himself, perpetrated by a little three-year-
old pride of the family She is the only
pledge OF love that has twined itself around
the heart and affections of himself and wife.
A few evenings since a minister visited the
family and remained until after tea. At
the table the reverend visitor asked the
blessing. and the little one opened her eyes
to the fullest capacity in startled wonder
ment. She could not understand what had
been done, and it was with great persuasion
that ner mother could keep her quiet during
the time they were at the table. When
they had left it she walked up to the minis
ter for whom she had formed a great friend
ship and said:
What did you say at the table before We
commenced eating!"

goodness in giving US to eat, 30 that we
might grow and be strong"
