Ice Without an Ice-House.

Select some shady corner, near the
house, where the snow stays longest in
the spring, and make proper arrange
ments for drainage and ventilation.
When the ice on stream or pond is solid
enough to bear cattle it is thick enough
to cut. Clear the snow away from the
place selected, and spread thick coat
of either sawdust, fine shavings or tan
bark on the ground. Lay the ice in a
compact form, pour several pals of
water over the cakes, and allow it to
freeze solid. Board up the sides, and
cover thickly with the same material as
was spread on the ground. In the
spring clear off the snow, and cover
over with straw to the thickness of sew
eral feet, making pile like hay-stack,
to shed the rain. Ice protected in this
way-if care is taken to cover quickly
and well when any is taken for use in
the summer-we have known to last
until October.
Every farmers wife knows how need
full is a good supply of ice for dairy pur-
poses, and every farmer and those who
are not farmers who live in the country
are able to appreciate ice-cream or ice
water during the warm weather of sum-
mer. The above will be found an mex
pensive way of having supply of ice
on hand.-EJchdnge.

Aunt Mely.

trusted me about Tom. I asked where

city. was afeard he had got on Phil s
track dumped in the canoe and rushed
Overjust blindly. But the first man met

She fell on her knees and lifted her
warm, wet, beautiful eyes to Tom face.
Get up, child" he said, hOarsely.
"Ill let him go, an when Nancy's on
her legs ag'in Ill shake hands,
He turned abruptly and left the house.

accused Doorkeeper asking for sus-
pension of public opinion, after the
usual fashion in such cases.
Doorkeeper Polk may or may not be
guilty of the offenscs with which he is
charged; but the country will not fail
to note the tenderness with which a
Democratic House has thus far consid-
cred his case. The evident anxiety on
the part of Springer, Fort, and the rest
of the mad investigators to hush up
this domestic scandal must awaken in
dignation as well as disgust One Of
Folks apologists quoted Shakespeare,
or the Bard of Avon, as he preferred to
call him, to prove that the theft of a
good name was a great crime. How
long is it since the Democratic majority
of the House of Representatives has
learned this truthP Whose good name
has been safe while the Glovers, Spring
ers, Whitthornes, and the rest Of the
bowling pack have been barking at the
heels of decent menP II the men who
are now clamoring for license TO peram-
bulate the country, swear everybody
and search everybody, were honest in
their pretended desire to purify the
public service, they would not huddle
out of sight one of their own party
whenever corruption is traced to him.

A Farmer Who Loves to Fish.

In Chilli there Is an elderly farmer
who is passiOnately fond of sport-es-
pecially fishing and hunting-and he
has a son who is a chip of the old block
in that as well as in other respects.
One day last summer the old gentle
man left home, but before going set his
boy at job he was anxious to have
done. Returning sooner than he was
expected, he found that the boy was
missing. -.
"W6ere's Tom?' he growled, as he
entered the kitchen door.
"Gone fishing" said the girl.
Fishingl the rascal! I'll fish him
when catch him."
And away the angry fellow went for
the brook. Coming within hailing dis
tance of his hopeful son, who was bend
ing eagerly over the stream, the father
yelled:
Tom! you scoundrel, Tom!'
There was a deprecating movement
of one hand on the part of the boy,
who did not, however, turn his head.
Still more angry, the avenging parent
came nearer and bawled out
"rllearn you to stay home and work
when
''Shl sh! shl father" said young
Izaak Walton, "pve got a bitep'
The old fellows passion perceptibly
cooled at that announcement, and, lucky
for the boy, he just then hauled up a
handsome perch. This was too much
for dad, who stepped forward and helped
unlock the fish, and then

Cure Of Diphtheria.

A Bridgeport Comm physician
sends to the Standard the following:
"Our advice to parents-for this Is
mostly disease of childhood-protect
the feet, legs and bodies of your chill
dren well, by suitable clothing. Give
them plain, substantial food, plenty of
rest, with fresh air and sunshine. Dis
card late hours and exciting amuse-
ments and too hot rooms. If your
child takes cold keep it at home in a
pleasantly-warmed room, and admit
sunlight freely. If with the cold there
is some sore throat, use simple reme-
dies to promote perspiration and a
water compress about the throat In
the meantime keep a vigilant watch of
the throat, and upon the first appear
ance of white or gray patches send for
your physician. Do not put it off to
see if it will get well itself. Twelve
hours may decide the fate of your child
prompt, thorough, efficient medica-
ton at this stage of the disease will
rarely fail of success; later, the system
may be too depressed to respond to any
remedies

The bad boy may always depend

The bad boy may always depend
upon his maternal parent. A Califor-
MIA mother thus addressed the court:
"When Andy stabbed me with his jack
knife, was striking him with a stick
for quarreling with his sister. The boy
had hold of his knife at the time and |
suppose he used it on me to save him
self. He has very excitable tempera-
ment-an hereditary ailment, inherited
from his father-thOugh he is not the
fiend some of the papers have represent
ed him to be. He once became delirious
from whipping his father gave him;
it is something he can't stand, and |
have resolved not to whip him any more,
believing he will then be a good boy

ST. LOUIS, December SIN accordance
with resolution passed by the City
Council Of East st. Louis yesterday, City
Marshal Carpenter took possession to-
day OF the Market House, the head.
quarters OF Mayor Bowman together
withallthe city records contained therein,
and conveyed the latter to the headquar.
tiers Of the Metropolitan police force,
Mayor Bowman protested, but offered no
resistance, leaving his Office quietly when
Marshal Carpenter directed him to.
Mayor Bowman issued procla.
nation this evening recitipg the act
Of the city marshal, appealing to the citi-
zens to preserve the, peace, stating that he
will take legal means 10 reinstate himself
in the city building, and announcing tina,
in the meantime his Office and that OF the
city clerk and the other officers will
be in building on the opposite side OF the
street. This is the result OF an imbroglio
between the Mayor and the, general law
,couneilE on one side, and the charter
council on the other, which prevailed and
caused SO much trouble last summer.
