Something About Icc.

Beside the fact that ice is lighter than
water, there is another curious thing
about it which persons do not know,
perhaps-namely, its purity. A lump
Of ice melted will always become purely
distilled water. When the earl y navi-
gators of the Arctic seas got out of
water they melted fragments of those
vast mountains of ice called iceber2s,
and were astonished to find that they
yielded only fresh water. They thonght
that they were lrozen salt water, no
knowing they we're formed on the land
and in sos.ie way launched into the sea.
But if they had been right tho result
would have been just the same. The
fact is that water in freezing turns out
of it all that is not water-salt, air. COL
oring matter and all impurities. Frozen
sea water makes fresh-water ice. If
you freeze basin of indigo water it
will make it rs pure as that made of
pure rain-water. When the cold is verv
sudden these foreign matters have no
time to escape either by rising or sink
ing, and are thus ertangled with the ice,
but do not form any part of it.

Getting Along Nicely.

1t is stated that the center of popula-
ton moves westward at the rate of nine
ty feet q day, and is slowly passing
across the southern portion of Ohio. It
is evident, therefore, that the "gor-
geous East" to which the West has
hitherto looked for its literature and
lucre, it's manufactures and arts, its ped.
agogues and pills, its capital and cult
ure. is fast losing its grip, and, if it
were to be sunk out Of existence to-
morrow, or raised out of sight in its own
estimation, the West would merely pause
to say tra-la.la, and keep right on with
its work. The loss of thirteen Con-
gressmen to the East, and a gain of
nineteen to the West, by the last GEN.
sus, shows where the crowd is rushing,
and in ten years more the East will be
taken under the wing of the West, and
the West will see that no harm comes
to it. We feel sorry for the East. It
has always done as well as it knew how,
and there has never been time when it
would not sell us dry goods and Yankee
notions, and take it out in wheat, or
loan money On q farm at 10 per cent.
If its people generally cannot yet re-
gard the West as anything but howl
ing wilderness, where the Indian and the
wild bison roam at will, instead of a
land possessing the refinements of en-
ightened civilization, why then it is
their misfortune and not their fault.
No enmity can ever come between the
two sections, for very many Of the
wealthy farmers of the West, who
own broad and fertile acres, will
never forget that their early man.
hood was passed amid the steep and
rocky hillsides of the East, where corn
was planted with mallet and cold
chisel, and, after being washed out by
rains couple of times, grew and flour
ished to the height Of two and even three
feet, with an ear on almost every stalk.
No one who is worthy the name Of man
ever forgets the scenes Of his boyhcod.
But the cotton factories of the East ale
passing to the South and Southwest,
where they will be nearer the source OF
the raw material; the publication OF
books, which nobody ever supposed
could be done anywhere except n the
East, has suddenly been begun in the
West, and $4,000, 900 worth were exc
cuted with neatness and dispatch in one
Western city alone last year; Eastern
illustrated papers, rejecting the culture,
humor and police doings of the country.

come; Eastern pills, which have drained
so much money from the West, and built
so many palaces in the East, yet Eave
grip upon the affections of our people,
but their influence is weakening, and Pad
factories are springing up and manhood
is being restored right here in the West
by Western firms: car factories are COM
ing nearer to Western iron atwood every
day; our Touring mills, which already
make flour enough for paste, are increas-
ing in number and capacity, and the
woods are full of saw-mills; we shall need
Eastern oil and coal little longer, until
a way is found to decompose water, and
then We shall have no favors to ask, and
the East must not recognize us when we
meet on the street.--Peck's San.

Austrian Ladies'.

j 1t is said that Austrian ladies' are all
accomplished cooks, consequently dys-
:pepsia is unknown among them. Food
properly prepared never disarranges the
human digestion or inaames the blood,
but such food cannot be had with Ger.
.tainty y if the table depends entirely upon
the skill and temper of q hired cook.
Ladies who manage their own kitchens.
or are competent to do SO, may be sure
that their families will have food that is
properly cooked and appropriate to the
season. There is something inexplica.
Die about American ignorance of the art
OF cooking. In Europe even gentlemen
take pride in being able to prepare GER
tain dishes, and ladies are glad to be
known as practical managers Of their re-
spective households. Here, however
strong adults and feeble infants are alike
dependent upon the ignoramus of the
kitchen. We're some of the industry
displayed by American ladies in copying
foreign customs devoted to kitchen
management, on the Austrian plan. we
would be happier and better nation.
