MsefnI aud Curious.
AN lCR.HOUaE.

1t will soon he time for those without an lee
house to be preparing one. No well-appointed
farm or summer residence shoHld he without
this luxury any more than without well OF
. good spring Of water. 1t is not only Q great
comfort, bnt . means Of economy in preserving
meats and fruits in the heat of Summer, while
one that will answer every purpose may be put
mp and filled ut trifng expense. No elaborate
house is necessary for preserving the ice. There
are some requirements, however, that must be
attended TO-
First, good drainage mnst be secured, without
giving the air access to the ice through the drain
II the soil is porous or gravelly, no artificial
drainage is required. 1t is not essential that the
ice be stored underground, as it keeps quite as
we'll above the surface. The ice should be com.
pactly packed, aud enclosed with packed saw.
the depth of at least twelve inches. This pack
ing is the great preventative of the ice. Venti.
lation must be given from the top, and not al
lowed to pass through the ice. The larger the
body of ice stored, the better it will keep. The
ice-hOuse should not be less than twelve feet
square, on the inside, and eight feet high. A
few square rods of ice will suffice to fill an ordi.
nary house, and the depth of water need not be
more than three feet.
A writer says: "My ice-house is built entire
ly on the surface of the ground. The only drain.
age is the natural slope of the surface, which is
about one foot in six. 1t is fourteen feet square
on the outside, and the posts are ten feet high.
The walls are double, with eight-inch space fill
ed with tan bark. The roof is also double. In
side and outside covering hemlock. 1 first spread
three or four inches of gravel on the ground
tween the ice and wall, and cover it foot deep
on top. The north gable end of the house il
open all the while for ventilation. The ice
wastes but trife."

Keeping winter Vegetables.

After the farmers, those We mean who culti.
vate gardens, raise good supply of vegetables
they often fail to realize the full benefit of their
labor, from . lack of knowledge how to keep
them. This especially is the case with squash
es, and that class of vegetables that require to
be kept comparatively warm and dry. 1t is quite
usual for them to pat them in q pile in the Gel.
lar, and then wonder that they rot. Squashes,
pumpkins, and all that class of vegetables re-
quire: first, an absence of light; second, q dry
temperature, not exceeding IS or 60 degrees, and
third, placed, that one does not come in contact
with another. Thus Hubbard and other hard
shelled varieties may be kept until May or even
June. For use until February, they will keep
tolerably well in dry cellar, placed on shelves,
Boston Marrow being the first to decay. The
Turban-by the way, to our mind, one of the
best of the Winter varieties, especially for bak-
ipg-will often keep in the cellar till March,
Those, only to be kept for use later, need be
treated to the dry, cool closet. 1t will pay, for
In the latter part of the Winter and early Spring,
there is dearth of vegetable food, ON the farm,
that makes such articles especially valuable

What She Asked Tommy.

He was named Thomas and she was named
Jane. They sat on a hotel balcony yesterday
for three long hours, and giving themselves dead
away as being Out-of towners. As they sat down
Thomas took one of James hands. She allow ed
that sort OF thing to 60 on without word o.
protest, and the tiaxen-haired youth finally seiz
ed the other one. They talked and talked, and
looked down upon the street, and sighed, and
the hours slipped away. At the end of the third
hour she said: Tommy, dearest, want to ask
you something"
"Ask me hundred-a Thousands million
things" he exclaimed in reply.
Well, Tommy, I've got an awful cold in my
head, ;" she continued, and if drew one of my
hands away and wiped my nose would you think

or let my nose wipe itself Just one wipe, Tom.

Tommy released her hand, though he hated to,
and her nose was softly and duly wiped.

Diphthera is disease which springs from
the growth of q real fungus on some of the mu-
cous surfaces of the system, more generally of
the throat. 1t may be spread by contagion of
the mucous surface of diseased with those of a
healthy person, as in kissing, and is to limited
degree epidemic. From the local parts affected
it spreads to the whole body, affecting the mus
cular and nervous systems, vitiating the lymph
and nutrient fluids, and producing paralysis.
As soon as the vacterium or fungus appears in
white patches on the throat, it should no more
be neglected than bleeding cash, or broken
arm, and there is almost as little need of q fatal
termination of one incident as Of the other. 1t
has been found by actual experiment, both in
and ont of the human system, that this vacteri-
UNI is killed by several drugs, the safest and
most certain of which is chlorine water. This
wash is harmless, even when swallowed, and is
pretty certain to arrest the disease. we'll
known physician in this city, who has pursued
this treatment for fifteen years, has found it eff
fective almost without exception, and has in
that period often broken up the disease in local
tiles where it had ragged violently, and defied
out of six, but has since used it, with scarcely
failure, during the above mentioned period. Tho
recent great cyclopedia of Zenmssen on the prac-
tice of medicine, gives the highest place to this
method of treatment. To keep the patient we'll
housed, and warm, with additional flannel cloth
ing, and to keep the system well nourished, and
the bowels open, are matters often neglected,
but, with care in these matters, and early appli-
cation of the remedies above suggested, there is
no need of the disease proceeding to a fatal ter
mutation, or even to the facilitating illness, and
painful cauterizations which go together in its
later stages.-Sprinqfeld Republican.

Protection Of Strawberries.

We have already recommended the protection
OF straw berry plants against full exposure to
the Winter-the action Of the cold winds, and
the alienation Of freezing and thawing, with
the suns rays on the frozen plants, injuring the
leaves, turning them down, and retarding the
early Spring growth. With a slight covering
these injurious effects are lessened or prevented
The plants, under q thin covering of evergreen
branches, come out green in the Spring. Coarse
stiff straw, as of wheat or rye, does well, but
should be thiniy spread. No covering of course
is Of any use while the ground is under deep
snow, in any parts of the country. But as soon
as it thaws, and the soil is soaked with water
prompt care should be taken to cover the plants,
if serious injury would be prevented by freezing
in this condition. The plants are rarely injured
during the early part of Winter; they more fire.
quently suffer from the change towards Spring

To CURE A CHILD's CoLD.-Try smoking tar
Inhale the smoke from pine tar. Get pint OF
more of pure pine tar (not the oil) from the ship
chandler; heat poker red hot and stir the tar
with it. A thick smoke will arise. Hold your
bead over it, keep your mouth Shut and inhale
through the nostrils. Heat the poker three or
four times, until the room is filled with smoke !;
shut doors and windows; and remain in the room
as long as possible. In two weeks get fresh tar.
1t is a good plan to smoke it in ones bed room,
just before retiring; after smoking open win
dow from the top; the smoke will slowly escape,
but enough remains to be of some benefit. Use
borax in the water in which the child is bathed,
as it will invigorate it.

Where Governor Gets HI. wives.

Claiborne +. Jackson, a native of Kentucky,
was once Governor of the State of Missouri. He
Joined the Southern Confederacy, and died dur
ing his term at a farm house opposite the City of
Little Rock, among strangers, with no kind hand
Of affection near to soOthe his pain and rob his
death-bed of halfits anguish The most remark
able fact connected with the history of his life
is perhaps the statement that he married five
sisters in one of the most respectable, wealthy,
and dist nguished families in the State; that as
soon a. one wife would die, he would go and
mary her sister in reasonable time. Of course,
some of them were widows when he married
them. In connection with the marriages there
was a standing joke told at the expense of the
Governor, which was that when he went to ask
the old gentleman's consent to marry the last
one, the venerable father is reported to have
said: ayes, Claib, you can have her. You have
got them all. For goodness sake dent ask me
for the old woman."-TerarkaHa (Mo.) Democrat.
