She passed just now in the falling snow,
And left the print of her dainty shoe;
From the edge of the heel to the pointed toe
The most can make is a number two.

the chalk for the last year. There is
no danger of scratching the teeth, as
the chalk is prepared, but with good
stiff brush and the soap it is as effect
ual as soap and sand on floor"
CHEAP ICE HOUSES Cheap ones
may be quickly constructed in the form
of strong shanties with good, but not
tight, floor. Place few inches of saw
dust on the floor, pile up the ice COM
pactly in square blocks; leaving space
from eight to twelve inches all around,
next to the boards, to be filed with saw
dust, trodded in as the structure of ice
is built upward. Cover the whole with
eight or ten inches of sawdust, and let
plenty of fresh air blow through the
shanty over the top. Ice will keep this
way as we'll as in the most costly and
elaborate building. CHAT or fnely-cut
straw may be substituted for the saw
dust; but being less perfect non-con-
ductors, should be in thicker layers.
