ed pardons to the three convicted gam
blsrs who had been sentenced to six

itching particularly at night after get
ting warm in bed), acts as a poultice,
gives instant and painless ralief, and is
prepared only for the piles, itching of
the private parts, and nothing else.

ry, Of Cleveland, says about DR.. Will
liams' Indian Pile Ointment: 1 have
used scores of pile cures, and it affords
me pleasure to say that / have never
found anything which gave such imme-
date and permanent relief as DR..

Our ice-house was a cheap experiment
We had n small building which was uscG
for storing spades. hoes and other small,
implements. 1t was merely u frame
covered with c%lapboards. The floor
was taken out of q part of this building.
and the sides built up from the ground
with plank, making q deep bin. Tho
ground was covered with rough plaukS.
which were in turn covered to the deptl,
of six or eight inches with dry sawdust
The cakes of ice were laid in layers.
with a foot between the ice and the sides
of the building. Care was taken to fill
the interstices between the cakes with
broken ice, which was made solid by
pouring water over it. When finished.
tho ice was q solid mass. The space be.
tween the ice and walls was filled with
sawdust, crowded down very hard, and
about ten inches of sawdust was packed
down hard over the top. The ice KEEP,
well, and, with the exception of one year
when ice could not be obtained here, Is
has been used every season for ten years
and has never failed us yet. II tn.
drainage is perfect and the ventilation
good over the ice, tbs sure to keep as
long as needed. Care must be taken.
however, to keep the sawdust firm ove
the top, and, as the ice is taken out and
the sawdust from the sides comes down,
it must be removed SO that it may moi
become too thick over the top.
