mouth, travellers attention was diverted
by squirrel sitting very composedly
upon the ground. The passer-by stopped
to observe its motions. In few min.
utes it darted like lightning to the top of
a tree, beneath which it had been sitting.
In an instant it was down with an acorn
in its mouth, and began to burrow the
earth with it's hands. After digging a
small hole, it stopped down and deposited
the acorn; then Covering it, darted up
the tree again. In moment it was
down with another which it buried in
the same manner. This the squirrel con.
tinued to do, as long as the traveller
thought proper to Watch him.
The industry Of this little animal is
directed to the purpose Of security against
want in the Winter; and it is probable
that as its memory is not sufficiently re

MAKING ICE WITHOUT MACBIN-
EKE-

The Ice Trade Journal says: The
natives of India have been in the habit
of producing ice by a skilful combination
of evaporation and radiation from time
immemorial, and, notwithstanding the
introduction of ice machines in later
years, still prefer their simple method of
aiding nature to the complicated theories
and costly machinery Of modern times,
intended to supercede nature altogether.
All the carly inventions, from Leslie
down, have been borrowed from these
uncultivated but ingenious people, though
this, perhaps, is not generally known.
The following is the modus operandi: In
high plain, having a northwest ex-
posure, they remove the soil about two
feet deep and cover the surface with
layers of dry rice straw about eighteen
inches thick. The straw is non-con-
ductor of heat, and also serves to keep
the bed cool during the day. On this
straw bed they place shallow dishes of
porous, unglazed clay which they par
TALLY fill at sunset with boiled water.
This preference shows an advanced state
of intellectual development for people
usually classed as only one move from
barbarism, the boiling expelling the air
and promoting crystalization. When the
nights are clear, and especially if there
be brisk wind blowing from the north
west, each of these dishes can be relied
on for about an inch of ice of the very
finest quality, owing to its perfect free
dom from air and impurities The freez-
ing generally commences about midnight,
and continues to about sunrise. Such is
the power of evaporation and radiation
in producing cold that, under the con-
ditions to which we have referred, the
temperature of these icebeds will often
be several degrees below freezing when
four feet above them it will mark fifty
degrees Fahrenheit-a reduction of over
twenty degrees! The amount of ice pro-
duced by this method is much greater on
a given space than would be supposed
without close calculation of results. On
bed one hundred and twenty feet long
by six feet wide, which are found to be
most convenient dimensions, the product
each night will be abont ton, and, con-
sidering that the price of ice in India
ranges all the way from $50 to 500 a
ton, and the investment Of capital and
labor is so trifing it is not surprising
that the Hindoos should fail to see the
advantages claimed for the $4,000 ma
chimes of England and France.

The rule, to which, notably in the
case of Thomas Jefferson, there have
been no exceptions, prescribes more or
less display at presidential inaugurations
And the character and scope of the eel.
ebration have been changing gradually
When Lincoln was first inaugurated
there was some apprehension of attempts
at assassination. General Scott feared
them, and was opposed to all displays as
furnishing too good an opportunity for
popular tumult. Buchanan was of
the opinion that it would be best that
the usual course should be pursued, and
made tender of his carriage and his es-
cort. The local committee decided to
take the opinion of Mr.. Lincoln himself
upon the advisability of the proposed
display-would they proceed, or would
they not? Mr.. Lincoln threw one leg
over the arm of his chair, and replied
as follows: "When 1 was practicing
law in Illinois client of mine, pc
culiar sort of fellow, was brought before
the Court, and the Judge asked him
DO you swear or affirm ?? Mr.. Judge, ;

JACKSON AND BENTON.

On the breaking out of the War Of 1912
Gen. Jackson was one of the very first to
tender his services to the Government,
and collected force of $500 men which
met at Natchez, where it remained idle
some two months, when it was ordered
disbanded. Jackson, enraged, declined
to disband the troops there, but took
them back home, giving drafts on
the Government for the expenses thus in
Cured. The drafts the Government re-
fused to pay, which placed Jackson in a
very bad predicament. At this juncture
Col. Benton volunteered to go to Wash
ington in Jackson's interest, and, if pos
sible, induce the Government topay the
drafts, and save Jackson's honor and
property. By his polite and adroit man.
agement he succeeded. As COL Benton
was about returning to Nashville he re.
ceived word from his brother, Jesse Ben
ton; that Gen. jackson had acted as
second in duel to that brothers. an
tagonist-a most ungracious act, as it ap-
peared, at moment when the claims Of
gratitude should have been uppermost
in Jacksons heart. In this duel Jesse
Benton was wounded. An angry letter
was written by Thomas II. Benton to
Jackson, and the latter swore "by the
Eternal y he would horsewhip Tom Ben
ton. On Sept. 4th, 1913, the two Ben
tons were in the doorway Of the City
Hotel, at Nashville, when Jackson and
Col. Coffee approached. Jackson bran.
dished his whip, Col. Benton funbled
for his pistol, Jackson drew his own, and
at the same time received in his arm and
shoulder slug and bullet from the
pistol of Jesse Benton, Who stood behind
him. Jackson was thus dropped by a
terrible wound. Coffee then attacked
Col. Benton, who fell down flight of
stairs. The disgraceful affair laid Jack.
son up for several months and drove Ben
ton to Missouri.
