Artificial Ice.

A skating-rink offering sixteen thousand
square feet of artificial ice in one sheet, is
in successful operation in New York. The
protector, Mr.. Rankin, is widely known in
connection with the ice trade, particularly
in the West and South, where the ma
chimes for procuring ice are largely used.
The present enterprise is notable chiefly
for its magnitude, the area of ice produced
being very many inches larger than any
thing of the sort previously attempted.
Something like nine miles of gas piping
is required for the circulation of the re-
frigerating fluid, which is pumped through
the pipes after having had its temperature
sufficiently reduced in a freezing chamber
some two hundred and fifty feet long, in
ice is liquifed by means of salt and other
solids. The principle involved is simply
that of the ice-cream freezer. A tight
floor was laid over surface two hundred
feet by eighty feet; on this floor net
work of pipes was laid, and the whole
covered by two or three inches of water.
On pumping the refrigerating fluid
through the pipes the water is frozen and
kept SO cold that the surface of the ice is
kept dry, though the atmosphere OF the
work is warmed by half a dozen large
furnaces. The effect might have been
carried out equally as well as much more
profitably at midsummer, when skating.
rink would have been more of novelty
Mr.. Rankin informs us that the tempera.
ture of the refrigerating liquid is raised
but ten degrees while on its nine-mile
Journey.

Australian Enterprise.
New York Times.l

The Public Library of Melbourne, Aus
tralia, is justly "the glory of the town."
It was opened in the infancy of the colo
NY, February, 1856, and is chiefly due to
the exertion of Governor Latrobe and Sir
Redmond Barry, who is-now Judge of
the Supreme Court, and was one of the
Commissioners to the Philadelphia
moment to ask for grant from the
Legislature when the revenue had in
creased from 100000 year to G3,O00,-
600 within some three years. l
is probably the best entirely free public
library in the world. All the appoint
ments are as handsome as in a wealthy
gentleman's private library, and contrast
most agreeably in that respect with the
miserable condition of the Astor Library,
where, in the alcoves, it is often difficult
to procure chair, and still more so to
find one which does not show prebabil-
ity of breaking down beneath its burden.
The librarians, who are persons of intelli-
gence, with a knowledge of literature, are
specially instructed to render every as
| sistance to the reader in prosecuting the
| branch of inquiry upon which he is in
tent, and so thoroughly popular is the
| library in its character that it is sought by
persons of every kind of craft to aid
them in their work. The mag
nifcent rooms are divided into al
| coves, and in one you may see a
classical student eager over his Greek,
| in another mechanic looking up some
recent improvement in his art. There is
| no asking for books and being only al
| lowed one at a time. Any one may range
where he will, and take out any work he
may desire at pleasure. The sole condi-
| ton attached to the use of the library is
that those with dirty hands must wash
them before handling the books, and a
| lavatory is at hand. There is no such
| provision at the Astor. Beneath the
library are fine galleries of art, also per-
| fectly free. Melbourne had all this when
she was 35 years old. and here is New
York, over two centuries old, and can
show nothing like it. The Melbourne
Library, brilliantly lighted, is open till 10
at night. The Astor Library closes long
| before sundown.

A Funeral Joke.

Colonel Isaac O. Barnes, of Boston, had
an old friend, Kidder Marshall, to whom
he was warmly attached, and when Mr..
Marshall died felt it his duty to attend
the funeral, which took place in Fitch
burg. It was hot, sticky day in summer,
and the ride from Boston in the cars was
ANYTHING but pleasant. Arriving at the
house of the deceased friend, he found a
large gathering in the parlor, which was
warm and close. The colonel wedged
himself into an arm chair several sizes too
small for his ample person, settled HIM
self as best he could and "fdgeted."
1t so chanced that two clergymen con-
Quoted the services, which were so pro-
tracted that two hours had passed before
the last "amen" had been said. In the
midst of the solemn pause that followed
it. Colonel Barnes, who could hold in no
longer, turned to the gentleman next
him, and in voice pitched in a high key,
said: Did you know Kid?" die, !"
said his fellow-mourner, in deep, hushed
voice. He was nice fellow, wasn't he?"
piped Barnes. He was" answered his
neiphbor, still in the same mournful tone.
aYes, and mighty smart fellow, too,
continued the colonel, now giving his
shrill voice fair play, and wiping the
beads from his forehead; 1If he'd had
the running of this funeral, he'd been un-
der ground an hour and half ago"

Confusion.
rFrom the Burlington Hawkeye.

from the Burlington Hawkeye.l
It was rather late one morning when
Mr.. W1llaby got up, and was vaguely
conscious of confused recollection Of
things, but he didn't say much and tried
to appear as cheerful as he knew how.
Presently breakfast was announced and
the family took their places at the table,
but Mr.. Willaby was amazed, as he sat
staring at six little wooden boxes of
axle greese ranged solemnly in front of
his plate.
g Where, under the sum-" he said,
with puzzled intonation, where in
thunder-where did all this axle greese
come from?"
'sOh, is it axle greese 2" asked his
wife, with charming simplicity and in
nocence, just trife overdone. You
said last night when you brought those
cans home that they were oysters and
would be nice for breakfast I thought
you had better eat them right away, as
they didn't smell as though they would
keep very much longer"
And then Mrs. Willaby removed the
cans, and her husband sat looking at the
teapot and thought SO long, that his
coffee was as cold as rich relation when
he thought to drink it.

Newspaper Men.

One of the greatest trials of the news
paper profession is that it's members are
compelled to see more of the shams of
of the world than any other pro-
fession. Through every newspaper
office, day after day, go all the weak
nesses of the world, all the vanities that
want to be puffed, all the mistakes that
want to be corrected, all the dull speak
ers that want to be thought eloquent, all
the meanness that wants to get its wares
noticed in the editorial columns, all the
men who want to be set right who were
never right, all the crack brain philoso-
pliers with stories as long as their hair
and as gloomy as their finger nails in
mourning because bereft of soap, all the
boys who come to stay five minutes but
talk five hours. Through the editorial
and reportorial rooms all the follies and
shams of the world are seen day after
day, and the temptation is to believe in
neither God, man nor woman. It is no
surprise to me that in this profession
there are some skeptica1 men !; I only
wonder journalists believe anything
1dlnaage.

Consumption Of Coffee.

America is fast becoming, if she is not
already, the greatest coffee-consuming
country on the globe. Coffee is not
longer a luxury, but a necessity Of the
humble home as well as the abode of the
rich. We import annually, in round
numbers, BOG, ,OO0, 900. pounds of coffee,
the value of which is $25, ,000, 900. This
is every year increasing, and in greater
ratio than that of any nation on the
globe. Our increase during the last
twenty five years has been 8Z per cent.
against 2H per cent. for Europe. The
substitutes for coffee which have met
with such favor in other countries, are
not popular in America. We can hardly
understand now how the world got along
before the days of coffee. The Greeks
and Romans never got scent of the glo-
rious beverage for even centuries after i
was used in Ethiopia and Abysinia. Dur.
ing the sixteenth century it was carried
down to Egypt from Arabia, and abou,
the same time its fame began to spread
over Europe.

A Brilliant Victory.

The capture of the City of Mexico, in
1S47, by the United States troops, was
effected by less than seven thousand men.
The following brief description is from a
speech made by Gen. James Shields.
On the 10th day of August, 1S47, ten
thousand men crossed the mountains and
entered the romantic valley of Mexico.
1t was an adventurous movement. That
army abandoned its communications, its
supplies, its very possibility of re-enforce-
ment. That was its condition, and yet
isolated as it was, small in numbers, as it
was, it fought the battle and gained the
victory at Contreras, Cherubusco, Molino-
del Rey, Chapultepec, and on the 18th
day of September I847, it stood before the
ramparts of Mexico and how many men
stood before those ramparts, all told Six
thousand six hundred men on the 18th
day of September, 1847, crossed those
ramparts, captured the city, city con-
tanning two hundred thousand inhabi-
tants, and defended by thirty thousand
disciplined soldiers. Give me any other
instance Of the kind in history. Why
sir, the army was hardly sufficient to
police the city after they captured it.
When I, myself, stand here and look
back at that, it looks even to me more
like fable than reality. shall never for
get the insignificant appearance we cut
when we got into the great plaza of the
city of Mexico. Happily, though they
thoughtwe were only the advance guard
of some tremendous army. recollect the
old English militaire who was there, and
after he looked at the little band he
said:
Is this the army?'
"sYef,
g. Well,' said he, all / have to say is
this, you Americans are not only the
bravest people ever heard of, but the
most audacious people on Gods earth, te
come here with such an army as that =

Brain and Muscle.

There is no more valuable class of men
in any community, so far as results are
concerned, than those who work with
muscle-the class generally known as
"laboring men," Their coadjutors-
the men who labor with brain-are, how
ever, equally valuable. Outside of what
is called professional life," they depend
upon each other. There is an avoidable
partnership among them, and they are
each others best friends: The one di-
rects-the other performs, and both ac-
complish. The distinction between the
two classes is made in reference to the
direct means by which each one supports
himself, and fills his place in life. No
body pretends that the working man
does not think, any more than that the
worker by mind cannot saw wood or dig
mine. But the old notion that the law
yer, the clergyman, the doctor, the school
genus," do not labor, has been exploded.
There is many spectacled eye and thin,
white finger, that tells the secret of solid
hard work.
The brain, like muscular organism, de-
velops and wears out with hard work.
They are machines that cannot last for
ever. The sleepless watch in your pocket
grows rickety in time ; and the forty y-ton
locomotive breaks down at last. The one
is gold and the other is iron but both
must work and rest, and, like any other
machine, the part which does the most
work. wears out first. The sturdy black
his mind still bright, when he can no
longer WELD his hammer. The students
eyes wear out before his hands.
The little fact of the destruction of parts
of our being by hard usage, shows, in the
failure of particular mental faculties, that
headwork F" is hard work. Brain needs
rest. 1t is noticeable fact
that men famous for some
special intellectual power, begin to grow
old in the power first. Napoleon's great
ness lay in his wonderful stragetic and
executive ability. The prison of Elba
could not hold him. The bare rocks of
St. Helena did. He had begun to wear
out. The literary world has never pro-
than that of Walter Scott. He used every
part of his brain at once, and used it in
cessantly. When his mind gave way5it
broke all over. He died almost an idiot.
The most brilliant of American wits and
humorists, John q. Sake, who, until the
the sixtieth year of his life, was the de-
light of every jovial company he entered
who was resistless in his funniness, has
sunk into settled melancholia. He
writes no more. He sits at home, in the
very abjectness fthe blues, and refuses
even the presence of his dearest friends.
His intellect is as good as ever-all but
the jolly part. That is worn out.
That the brain may work, and work
lard, is as plain truth as IS the hard
ness of the laboring hand. That it needs
rest and variety, as much as the stomach
does is proved to us every day.-Haack-
eye.
