Making Ice in Mild Winters.

A Daniah agricultural Journal recon-
mends to those of its readers who wish to
provide Themselves every winter with 1
sufficient supply Of ice to last the whole
of the summer, the following simple
means of increasing the thickness Of ice
during mild winters: Long and intense
cold is necessary to produce coating of
ice of more than two or three inches
thickness upon . surface of water OF any
considerable extent. But if hole Is
made in the ice and the surfsce from
time to time covered with q shallow LAYER
of water, even moderately cold weather
will suffice to freeze this water, and by
repeating the experiment, ice of ten
inches or foot in thickness is obtained
without much officially. The Danish
journal therefore proposes the use Of
portable pumps to be placed into the ice
holes for the purpose dessribed-Na Nature.

Aspects of Neapolitan Lite.


What we observed in this long ride
around the horseshoe was that Naples
was very dirty, very happy and a
very picturesque town. We learned that
the supply of rags was inexhaustible.
never knew what could be done with
rags until l saw these lazzaroni. They
seem to have grown rags, as a sheep
grows his fleece, and yet there was no
misery in their faces-happy, dirty, idle,
light eyed, skipping, sunny-you looked
in vain for those faces, those terrible
faces of misery and woe, which one seees
so often in London. take it, therefore,
that begging is an amusement, an indus
try, and not a necessity,--that the Ma
Piles beggar goes out to his work like any
other laborer. He is not driven to it by
the gaunt wolves hunger and disease.
One scamp, gray-bearded scamp, too,
who followed us was baker, who made
and sold loaves. He was standing at mis-
counter trading when our carriage hove
in sight. At once he threw down his
loaves and started after us in full chase
moaning and showing his tongue and
beating his breast and telling US he was
starving. Well, when he received his
coin he went to his store, and presume
began to haggle over his bread. That
coin was clear gain. He was not beg.
gar, but a speculator. He went into the
street and made a little raise, lust as
brokers and merchants at home 20 into
the street" and try an adventure in
stocks. The Neapolitan speculator was
a wiser man than his New York brother.
He ran no risk. Even if he did
not gain his coin, the run did
him good and his zeal gave him
the reputation of an active busi-
ness man. Ihave learned, also, on this
trip to repress my appetite for maccaroni.
We saw maccaroni in all forms, and
under all circumstances, dangling in the
wind catching the dust. Give me dish
with the most suspicious antecedents
rather than the maccaroni from Naples.
