When a girl concludes to put up
her hair and look sweet, the best
policy is to let her have her own way.
She can't be drawn away from her
mirror by any of the ordinary things
of life. A fire may do it, but it has
been shown that even fire may tail
to excite some girls. The other night
a New York lodging house took fire
and at u most uncomfortable hour
when most girls probably have their
back hair down. One of the young
ladies heard that the place was burn
ing down, but she didn't like to make
her appearance before the crowd, which
had gathered in the street, looking
like a perfect fright. She shut the
door leading into the hall and went to
the mirror to fix her hair. Anybody
who has waited for a girl to fix her
hair knows that it takes time and
good deal of it. This girl was not
quicker than the average and she was
very particular about having her hair
done up exactly as it should be. The
fire had cut of her chance of escape
by the stairs and her lover, after sp-
pealing to her for sometime, finally
lost patience and left her. A police.
man got up to her room on ladder
and she made him sit on the window
sill while she fixed her hair-pins and
ribbons for a right sort of public ap-
pearance, and then she threw herself
into his arms-it was so romantic
aud slid down the ladder with him,
looking just too sweet. The whole thing
was a success, but when the careful
young lady reached the pavement she
found that she had forgotten her stock
ings.

A great many people Do wiihoai zee
in the summer-though the ponds and
streams at their doors furnish an abuu
dant supply every winter--simply be
cause they imagine that an expensive
cehouse is needed to hold the ice A
gentleman who once labored under
the same delusion, describes in the
Tribune the experience by which he
was led 10 store his summer supply Of
ice successfully, without an icehouse,
after paying dearly in disappointment
loss Of ice, and loss Of money, through
having "too much icehouse." lie was
convinced Of his error by the circum.
stance that the more pains he took
with his icehouse the more rapidly his
ice melted, while neighbor who had
no icehouse at all always had plenty
Of ice. The practice OF the latter was
simply TO pile his ice in a square
body under a cow.shed having u
Northern exposure. the first layer Of
ice being raised above the ground 50
as to secure good drainage, and the
whole covered thickly with sawdust
Boards set or end around the ice pile
served TO keep the sawdust in place
The gentleman referred to says: "A
pile of ice six feet high. eight feet
wide, aud eight feet long will make
three hundred aud eighty.four cubic
feet Aud this is enough tor the use
Of an ordinary family for the table
and to cool the cream, etc. Six team
loads I'll an ice house which contains
about four hundred cubic feet. The
blocks should be cut as smooth rs
possible and square, so they will fl
closely, and then ice must be chopped
up fine and crowded in between the
pieces so as to make it solid mass.
The closer the ice is packed, and the
more solid the ice is packed, the bet
ter it will keep. When an icehouse i.
too close, there is great deal Of con
densation, which makes the whole
contents wet aud dripping, and causes
the ice to melt rapidly. The air must
be kept as dry as possible, one secret
of keeping ice being plenty of ventila-
ton. The more ice there is in a pile,
the better it will keep. A small guam
tity must be covered deeper and thick
err than large mass. A large mass
will almost keep itself 1t does not
require the protection of sawd ust, but
straw or double wall of boards will
be ample. Every person who makes
butter ought to have ice. 1t will
more than pay for use in the dairy,
and then for the family it is luxury
every prevalent man should supply.

TRUE As GOSPEL. The cash sys-
ten for subscribers is the only right
way to run a paper.-When credit is
given and the paper sent ia every di-
rection the losses are heavy. The
amount each owes is so small that it
does not pay to go around and collect
and if the publisher hires II collector,
he would not realize enough to pay
his expenses. A good man dies ow-
ing the publisher, and the publisher
has to lose it as it is hard to prove a
newspaper subscription account. Then
too, there are men who take a paper
ten years and never pay cent for it.
Such patronage as that is worth moth
ing, aud the sooner publisher looses
it the better for him. Elizabethtown
