How to Preserve Ice.

During illness ice is generally need
ed in the sick room. The following
method of preserving it is highly rec
commended, and is certainly worth
trying: Cut piece of flannel about
nine inches square, and secure It by a
ligature around the mouth of an ordi-
nary tumbler, so as to leave a cup
shaped depression of flannel within the
tumbler to about half its depth. In
the flannel cup so constructed pieces of
ice may be preserved many hours, all
the longer If a piece of flannel from
four to five inches square be used as 8
loose cover to the ice cup. Cheap
flannel with comparatively open mesh
es is preferable, as the water easily
drains through it and the ice Is thus
kept quite dry. When good flannel
with close texture is employed, small
hole must be made in the bottom of the
flannel cup, otherwise it holds the
water and facilitates the melting of the
ice. Placed in q cup OF this kind, two
ounces of ice have been known to last
for nine or ten hours.
