ARTISAN AND ARTI,S T.

A critical writer in an English mag
azine (thc CornhilD finds a potent
cause for the separation between artls-
tic and industrial work in the rapid
growth of the manufacturing system
in Northern Durope.
During the Middle Ages the pain
ter, the sculptor and the wood-carver
were all higher handicraftsmen whose
handicraft merged insensibly into that
of the decorator, the joiner, the jeweler
and the potter These lower trades
still gave an opportunity for the dis
play of individual taste, of artistic
fancy, of that capricious quaintness
which forms, perhaps, the greatest
charm of medieval workmanship. But
with the employment Of machinery the
separation became broad and pronounc-
ed Steam-woven patterns anu calico
prints have superseded the handmade
embroidery and rich brocades of earlier
times. Cheap moulded crockery and
stamped designs haze taken the place
of jars turned upon the wheel and
painted decorations. Wall papers
hang where tapestry hung before, and
chintzes cover the chairs that were
once covered by delicate needle work.
Electroplate teapots machine-made
jewelry, and ungainly porcelain vases
replace the handicraft Of humble Gel
lnis, unknown Ghibcrtis, or inglorlous
Palissies. Under the influence of this
cause, industrialism become frankly
cheap and ugly, while estheticism re-
treated into the lofty upper region OF
the three recognized fine arts

HOW TO HA VE ICE NEXT SUN
MER.

A great many people do without ice
in the summer-though the ponds and
streams at their door furnish an abun-
dant supply every winter-simply be-
cause they imagine that an expensive
icehouse is needed to hold the ice. A
gentleman who once labored under the
same delusion, describes in the Iri-
bune the experience by which he was
led to store his summer supply of ice
successfully, without an icehouse, after
paying dearly in disappointment, loss
of ice, and loss of money, through hav
ing "too much icehouse" He 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 u ncighbor who bad 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 cow shed having a 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 on
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, and eight feet long will make
three hundred and eighty-four cubic
feet And this is enough for the use
of an ordinary family for the table and
to cool the cream, etc. Six team loads
fill an icehouse which contains about
four hundred cubic feet. The blocks
should be cut as smooth as possible
and square, so they will fit closely, and
then ice must be chopped up fine and
crowded in between the pieces so as to
make solid mass. The closer the ice
is packed, and the more solid the mass
is united together, the better it will
keep. When an icehouse is too close,
there is great deal of condensation,
which makes the whole contents wet
and 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 ventilation. The more
ice there is in pile the better it viii
keep A small quantity must be COW
cred deeper and thicker than large
mass. A large mass will almost keep
itself 1t does not require the protec-
tion of sawdust, 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 diary, and then for the fami-
ly it is luxury every provident man
should supply Scientific american.

AHERICAN INCOHES.

| mere II no tabic CT lDe average Qu-
/ ration of fortunes; but the statistics OF
business failures in the country since
1856 show that the average yearly
failures ranged from | in 1853 in the
year 1871, to | in rs in 1916 How
many business men in a thousand fail,
once or more, during their business
lifetime, I cannot learn The proper
tiOn used to be estimated. for New
England, at 81 per cent. That is prob
ably too high figure for the business
Of to-day, conducted as it is upon much
shorter credits than formerly. But the
proportion OF traders who fail is prob
IDLY not lower than 76 per cent of the
whole number
How many of our neople live upon
thc.r invested means? In 1856 our in
comc-tax returns showed III 010 in
comes Of $500 per year and over, and
SIX million incomes of less than $500
Bat tLcse We're not incomes from capi-
tai; they were mostly earnings or
wages. Probably not ere in a hun
dred OF these smaller incomes, and
not over 10 per cent. of the incomes
over $500, represented the interest up
on investments In France, ten years
later, the census returned no less than
two millions Of people renters, who
live entirely upon their invested
means. la 1871 seven and half mil
mions of the pcople-one-fifth of the
population-were enrolled as rentes-
holders or savings-banks depositors :;
but it must be added that the savings
banks do not often !ail with Us. Most
Of these deposits are small ones. But
no less than two millions of the
French can say with Petrarch, Parua
sed apta mjhi: at is little enough,
but it will do for me.r
Thus, in spite of the almost univer-
sal search for wealth, and in spite of
the fact that we have a great many
rich men at any given time, we still
do not have large class of permanent
ly rich men; we do not even have,
like the French, large class of per-
sons who have a permanent though
small competence. The rich Ameri
cans wealth is extremely volatile in
nine cases cut OF ten it is fairy gold"
The old landowners form the chief ex-
ception to the rule especially in our
large cities, where the increase of val
ues has been great
But if our class of permanently
wealthy people is small, so also is our
class of destitute people We are for
tunate in having few of the very rich
or the very poor, in having no such
immense and harmful inequality of
fortunes as we see in modern Eng
land. Our i'll fortune is this, that our
class of moderate completeness is also
small, that so few of us, in spite of our
opportunities and our labors, have
seized the good of even small as
sured competence Tae land is full of
people who have not, on the other
hand, and who are not likely to have,
any assured competence, however mod
crate, but who have nothing to expect
but labor to the end That is, indeed,
the appointed human lot for the ma
jority in any community but need it
be, in country of resources like this,
SO nearly the universal lot? Might
not many of Us avoid it by greater
care for a moderate competence, les
