A HOUSE of ice, similar to that which
was built in the Empress Anne's reign,
about to be constructed in the Zoolo-
gical Garden at Moscow. The managers
of that establishment have found among
its archives some valuable details as to
the mode of building which was adopted
on the former occasion, and they will
be adhered to in the present instance.
The first edifice was raised between the
Admiralty and the Winter Palace at ST.
Petersburg, in 1740, and was formed
throughout-walls,r roofs, windows, dec
orations, alike-of ice. The blocks
were cut in a square shape and their
surfaces sprinkled with water, which,
when placed in juxtaposition, froze in
the interstices and bound the whole into
one compact and solid mass. At the en-
trance of the structure was a large gal
lery filled with statues. The pilasters
on the exterior were fashioned to imi-
tate green marbles. The antechamber
possessed four windows and the other
rooms five each, while on the sills stood
vases filled with flowers made of ice,
shrub-like plants, covered with birds of
the same material, standing at the cor
ners. Bookcases, chairs, tables, ward
robes, utensils, candelabras, beds, were
all of ice.

How Young Bob Broke OF the Old
Mans COurtship.

Squire Bray of Caswell was hunting
another wife, but his son Bob, a wild
| blade, knocked him out of it. In the
capacious breast-pocket of the Squire s
great coat reposed a pint ticker, well
filled, that he only proposed using on
his way back from seeing the Widow
Brown. Now, just before he started
Bob slipped the ticker out and put in
its place small alarm clock, carefully
wound up and set for IL p. m. The
Squire had sat the fire out and was well
on with his overcoat, holding the
widows hand at the door and putting
in his sweetest licks for the last. Yes,
your first husband, my dear, was one of
my best friends, and Wen visit his and
my lost Hannah's graves, won't we,
lovep" "Ah, yes, for where was there
a sweeter woman than your poor Han
nah?'' asked the widow. ga good
woman; she was good enough, but
there's living one just as sweet sad
the Squire, and he was drawing her to
him for a kiss when whizz-wizz-wizzer-
hizzer-ting-w hirr-r-r-r, ting! bangi the
clock went off inside of him! go lawd!'
screamed the widow, "he's shooting
to pieces! It's Hannah's old
peanny playin' inside of him.'' "She
said she'd haunt me! She alters told me
SOL" cried the Squire, running in
stoop for his horse, with both hands
pressed to his breast and the clock still
striking ting, ting. He rode like Old
Nick was after him, and never knew the
racket till he felt for his ticker and
pulled out the little clock that Bob had
bought at auction. Then he laughed
till the tears ran, but he promised Bob
never to spark another woman if he'd
only keep the joke from the neighbors.
The widow believes to this day that old
man Bray is a walking volcano. Reds

The Net of Life.

Weariiy sit and weave
The tangling web of life,
The pattern which my hands have wrougl
Is but a bit of color fraught
With daily, hourly strife.
Longingly seek to trace
The inwove threads span,
To know how this and that unite
For bringing forth the figure bright
That forms the perfect plan.
Rapidly the shuttle flies
When heart and hope are mine;
When on the loom the sunlight pours,
The ffccks of gold, like summer flowers,
In wondrous beauty shine.
6loomily the fingers move,
Dark-tinted is the work,
When 'mong the threads an evil knot
Envy and malice-love forgot,
Doth unexpected lurk.
Patiently, with tear dimmed eye,
weave in sorrows day;
Scarce can tell what threads hold
only know that grief untold
Hides all but sodden gray.
Trustfully sit and weave,
know tits mine to do,
That which He gives into my hand
Complete in Him who wisely planned
Shall be the pattern true.
Lydia B. Nesrcomb, in Chicago Adrance.
