Storing lce.-As the ice harvest is at
hand, and as every one would gladly
be supplied with this luxury or rather
necessity in summer, we give few sim
pie directions for building cheap and
adequate building for family supply
Take one thousand feet of rough, pine
boards, twelve feet long, and eight chest
nut post nine feet long also five pieces
2 by spruce twelve feet long. Set the
posts in the ground so as to inclose a
square space II by u feet. Cut off the
tops level and square seven feet from
the ground; nail on four of the 2 by 4
pieces for plates, mailing on the boards
inside the posts, leaving one space open
where the ice is to be put in. Use the
remaining by piece for ridge pole,
and nail on boards for roofing with bat
tens. A ventilating hole six inches in
diameter should be made in each gable.
Before packing the ice, provide about
five cords of sawdust or tanbark, or if
these are not conveniently obtained,
then cut-straw or bog hay will answer,
if cut about an inch long. If the location
is not well drained, drain it. Pack a
foot of dry litter or straw we'll beaten
down on the ground before storing the
ice; then place the blocks of ice fifteen
inches from the walls of the building,
and fill in between the blocks with snow
or chips of ice, and around them to the
wall with the cut-straw or sawdust,
covering up the packing material with
the ice until it is full. Then cover over
the top of the whole with eighteen
inches of chat and tread it down well.
If this is watched every week, and the
packing carefully crammed down around
the ice, and renewed if necessary, it will
keep well all summer, but if neglected
will melt away very rapidly; for when
the ice settles in melting it will leave
cracks in the packing which will admit
warm air, and if not filled Immediately
will cause waste of ice.
If this building can be placed in the
shade of tree near the back door, it
will be better, as the heat of the sun
will rot strike the boards, or the whole
may be covered from view by some quick
growing climbing vine for similar
reason.
Where milk is handled in quantity
ice has come to be much used, and it is
great economy to be able to buy meat
at wholesale and keep it for a week
fresh, as may be easily done with good
store flee. The above described ice
house will hold about five hundred cubic
feet of ice, or full two cubic feet day
for the warm season, after making
liberal allowance for waste.

The Habits OF the Honey Bee.

The honey bee is q model of neatness
as well as of industry. The infallible.
instinct of the insect enables it to select
only the most delicious nectar produced
in the grand laboratory of Nature. Bees
are impatient of any disagreeable odor,
and are enraged If impure or decaying
matter is brought in proximity to their
hive. Bees sometimes go three miles
from the apiary in search of honey.
Whenever bee has secured load of
nectar, it at once rises in the air to a
certain altitude, apparently takes its
bearings, and then starts in perfectly
straight direction for the hive. This
constitutes the true and original "bee
line."
Bees are short.lived, their average ex-
istence being about six weeks. This
applies only to the workers. The queens
live much longer, enjoying the preroga-
tives of royalty. The drones are male
insects, and, having fulfilled their mis-
sion, either suffer a violent death or are
driven out of the hive by the workers.
As working bees are necessary, and have
no share in parental duties or obliga-
tions save to provide food for their sue
cessors, and as the bees that gather
honey in the early part of the summer
never live to enjoy it the following
winter, their unwearied industry seems
to be characterized by the purest unsel-
fishness. Bee-keepers apply the term
"Siberian Winter" to the present in
clement season, on account of the un-
usual severity and unfavorable result to
their stock of bees. An unprecedented
number of colonies perished during the
intensely cold weather of January,
many apiaries being entirely depopulat-
ed Trou Times

A Deadly Point of Pronunciation.

At wedding in South Carolina last
month an incident occurred aptly Illus
trating social life in the United States.
The bridegroom, who belonged to the
Z" first Southern families" took excep-
ton to the phraseology of the officiat-
ing clergyman and remarked, You
shouldn't say those uns whom the Lord
hath jined together, but them uns."
The preacher, who prided himself upon
the "high-toned" quality of his Ian
guage, quietly dropped his hand into
tn pocket of his surpliee and interpo-
lated: "You jist paddle your own Ca
noe, young feller, or your trouble'u be-
gin sune enuff. I'm runnin' this tea
party, I am-as I said afore, my below
ed hearers-those uns as the Lord"-
Just then the bridegroom made mo-
ton toward his hip, but before he could
draw the minister fired from his pocket
and the young man fell dead at his feet
Instantly the whole church was filled
with blazing pistols. In less than five
seconds the only person left alive was
the bride, who had ducked behind the
pulpit early in the action. The half
married female gazed musingly around
and remarked as she started for home !:
"These self-cocking revolvers is play
ing the mischief round here, and that's
a fact !"-English Paper.

An Infantile Opium Eater.

A medical man called the attention of
an appeal c Commissioner on yesterday to
a curious case. 1t was that of a con-
firmed opium eater aged but thirteen
months. The facts of the case are these: !:
The child, when few months old, suf-
fered from what is commonly known in
household words as " belly-ache. In
order to relieve the child from its suffer-
ing, those in charge commenced giving
him paregoric, then a stronger prepara-
ton, laudanum; and, this failing in time
to relieve his sulferings, morpine was re-
sorted to, until now the child has to
take half grain of morphine at a dose
in order to secure rest and relief from
suffering. Medical men know, but the
world does not, that morphine is a
vegetable alkaloid extracted from opium,
of which it constitutes one of the mar
cotic principles. There is nothing in
DeQuincy's book on opium eating that
equals the above.-MemphiS Appeal.

A Factory i'm China.

The fact that a woolen mill is to be
built in China, under the direction of
two German gentlemen, one an en-
gineer and the other manufacturer
from AK la Chapelle, has lately excited
some discussion in Lancashire. There
is talk also of cotton mill somewhere
in the vast Empire-tre Chinese papers
arguing, from the old exclusive point of
view, that if mills are built and goods
made in the country the foreigner will
no longer have an inducement to come
there, and Western civilization, with its
pushing and aggressive agents, will
cease to trouble them.-BOston AdUer-
ttSer,
