Unhealthy Ice.
New York World

$50 sure am j" said DR.. A. n. bell,
editor of the Sanitarlan, "that ice may
be unhealthy that never on any account
put any in my drinking water. L till
bottles with water and put them upon
ice, and should advise every one TO do
the same. This is not new subject.
Ii was taken up several years agoby DIR.
Rochester, of Buffalo. He was the first
that demonstrated that ice was danger
Gus to health if taken from ponds contain
ing foul water"
Can any one tell from the appear
ance of the ice whether or not 1t is
unhealthy?'
"No: the germ forms as they are call
ed, are impalpable, without color or
form, and are as likely to be found in
clear, bright ice as in that which is dis
colored.
Suppose ice which contained ele-
ments of disease was used for packing
meat would the meat be contaminated"
Undoubtedly it would, andirequent-
ly is, have no doubt. Impure ice is
generally that taken from shallow
country ponds near the grazing grounds
of cattle, or, as is frequently .he case,
ponds that receive the drainage from a
cesspool, and this is cut and used for
packing poultry. In such case the
poultry would be unhealthy. Even ice
cut from the Hudson, if taken too near
the city of Troy would not be perfectly
pure"
"Do you know anything of the ex-
periments of Prof Pumpelly' at New
port?"
"Yes, but his experiments were
mainly TO ascertain whether impure
water became purified by draining
through SOIL"
"What was the RESULT"
"That the filtering through sod was
not effectual. DIR. Napother, of Dublin,
had previously demonstrated that the
elements of typhoid fever could be
carried upon the surface of water for a
long distance. A man died of typhoid
fever after drinking from the waters of
stream, and the Doctor traced up the
stream for mile and quarter to the
residence of man Ill with typhoid
fever. The conclusion was that the
germs of the disease had fioated down
the stream upon its surface.
"Were there not experiments at New
port in relation to impure ice?"
Yes, the experiments of Prof. Pun
pelly were made by the direction of the
National Board of Health. but he was
also member of the Sanitary Protect
i've Association of Newport, and his ex-
periments as to the passage OF water
through soil convinced him that GER
tain pond contained unhealthy and i'm
pure water. There had been accompany
formed which proposed to cut ice from
this pond, and the association pre-
vented it.
GLOW as to your experiments with
superheated steam?"
81 used steam as disinfectant thirty
years ago when L was surgeon In the
United States navy. 1t is now an accept
ed fact everywhere. While L was Quar-.
antine Commissioner had a'room pre-.
pared on the hospital island in the lower
bay where clothing and bedding might
be subjected to bath of steam ant
effectually discnfected. L am convinced
that temperature of 200 degrees vii
effectually, destroy all germ forms o
disease, and that the use Of superheat tee
steam is the most effectual method o
disinfectioD.

Dinners OF the German Emperor.

After the frequent notices we read in
the papers of dinners at the Emperor
palace, and tables laid for twenty or
more covers, it may not be uninteresting
to learn something about the Emperor's
table in general. Emperor William is
in the habit OF taking, about 7 q. M, a
simple coffee with large allowance of
milk, and couple of small breads with
out butter. At l o'clock p. m. the sec
ond breakfast Qunch) is served, altern-
ately cold or warm. The dinner takes
place regularly at o'clock. If the
Emperor has one or two guests the table
is set simply in the lower apartments of
the palace, the menu remaining the
same which he is wont to order for him
self, consisting of four or five courses.
which the chef de cuisine submits early
in the morning, and the Emperor APP
proves of. If the dinner is a large one.
the table is laid in the upper apart
ments. The invitations are given by
the Emperor at an early hour, the ar
rangement of seats being then and there
discussed with the Court Marshals. The
Invited guests receive their host in a
salon adjoining the dining-room, where
the latter salutes, and after a converse
ton of ten or fifteen minutes, precedes
them to the table. The Emperor takes
light ciaret or Moselle with soda-water,
and coffee only occasionally after large
dinners. A cup of tea without cake or
bread, after the theatre, concludes the
frugal reyasts of the day. When the
Empress is present the menu is submit
ted to her. and except when large par
ty is invited, the Emperor takes his
dinner in the Empress apartments.

Duck Primer.
Forest and Stream.1

The Man from Town is out on the
Duck Pass. He stands On the point and
waits for Ducks to fly by. He has on a
White Shirt dark brown Coat, and a
black Hat. You can see him Mile off.
Here comes Duck. He is wsy up in
the Sky, but the Man will shoot, all the
same. Bangi Bang! Did the Duck drop?
Not muchl
The Duck flies on. Lookl there is a
puff of Smoke near the Bush. Hank.
Bang! The Duck drops in the Mud. A
Boy wades out and picks him up. Now
the Boy is back, out of sight, all is Still.
The Man goes to talk with the Boy. The
Boy has an old Gun, all Rust. The Lock
is tied on with String. Il should hate
10 fire it, But the Boy has Nice Pile
of Ducks. The Man has no Ducks at
all, but he has Lots of CASH. Now the
Boy has some Cash, and the Man has
the Ducks. See the Boy grim The man
will take the Ducks home, and tell his
Wife that he shot them all, with his Fine
New Gun. Is it right for the Man to do
this?

rHE POET AND THE CHILDREN,
Br JOHN q. wnrrrun.

With glory of winter sunsAtne
Over his locks Of gray,
In the old historic mansion
He sat ON his last birthday.
With his books and his pleasant pictures
Aud his household and his kin,
While sound IA of myriads singing
From far and near stole In.
1t came fgom his own fair city,
From the prairie's boundless plain,
From the Golden Gate of sunset,
Aud the cedar woods Of Maine.
And his heart grew warm within him,
And his moihtening Eyes grew dim,
For no knew that his country's children
We're singing the songs of him:
The lays of his life's glad morning,
The psalms of his evening time,
Whose echoes shall float forever
On the winds of every cline.
All their beautiful consultations,
Sent forth like birds of cheer.
Came nocking back to his windows,
And sang in the Poets ear.
Grateful, but solemn and tender,
The music rose and fell
With a JOY akin TO sadness
And greeting like farewell.
With q sense of awe he listened
To the voices sweet and young;
The last of earth and the first OF heaven
Seemed in the songs they sung.
And waiting little longer
For the wonderful change TO come,
He heard the Summoning Angel
Who calls Gods children homo
And to him, in holier welcome,
Was the mystical meaning given
OF the words of the blessed Master:
''Of such is the kingdom Of heaven"

Nervous Diseases.

The London Lancet says: Nervous
diseases and Weaknesses increase in a
country as the population comes to live
on the flesh of the warm blooded ami
mails. This is point towhich attention
has not been adequately directed.
Meat using that term in its popular
sense-is highly stimulating, aud sup
plies proportionately more exciting than
actually-nourishing pabulum to the
nervous system. The meat eater lives
at high pressure, and is, or ought to be,
a peculiarly active organism, like a
predatory Animal, always on its alert,
walking rapidly and consuming large

quantities of oxygen. In practice we
find that the meat eater does not live up
to the level OF his food. and, as a conse
quence, he cannot or does not take in
enough oxygen TO satisfy the exigencies
of his mode of life. Thereu- on follow
many, if not most, ills to which highly
civilized and luxurious meat-eating
Glasses are liable"

Itdon't pay TO get mad about anything

and that interieres with bis business and
deranges his digestion, and makes his
family unhappy. He had better go dead

HoLp bN nd YoUR COWS.

Aberdeen Examiner.
Don't sell your COWS or heifer calves
to the butchers and drovers while you
afe so well provided with food for them.
They are worth more to you than any
one else, aud are daily advancing in
price. II the cows are dry and you are
determined TO keep them for breeding
purposes, then fatten them up with corn
and hay and pea vines and get all the
advantage out of them that goes to those
who buy them in the range, for there
never was better plan of sending cheap
gram to market than in sleek. fat stock.
Good beef commands enormous prices
in every metropolitan market on the
continent, and beeves are becoming
scarcer daily, hence it will profit you to
feed we'll before selling, if you will sell,
and pay you much better to hold every
COW for breeding as long as you can
maintain them from the harvest of ma
ture's pastures.
Then many of you are short OF hogs,
and if You have to buy meat during the
coming season you will have TO pay more
for it than yon ever did before in yonl
lives for ''stock hogs" are scarce in the
pork packing regions. and the great hog
feeding States have made short corr
crops Why not fatten up the cattle
that you ARE determined to dispose d
and pickle the beef down for your owr
use? II will save you much and furnlsl
you with double theamount Of meat thai
you can buy from the proceeds.of cattle

COTTON SEED.

Oxford Falcon.
For years and years after cotton be-
came the Leading product Of the country
the seed were considered useIess, aud
thousands upon hundreds Of thousands
Of bushels were thrown away every year.
But lately their usefulness and value
seems to have no limit. Among the ma
ny uses that cotton seed have been pub
to the very latest is mule feed. tol. w.
l.. Archibald Of our city. who is one Of
the lnrgest planters Of North Mississippi
informs ms that be feeds cotton seed
largely to his mnles and that they thrive
and keep in as good condition as when
fed on corn and fodder. On his Bolivar
county place Col. Archi bald has between
thirty Eve and forty mules TINT with two
1r three ears Of corn each meal are fed
entirely upon cotton seed and are all IN
fine working order. To prepare them
for feed: They are taken and boiled then
placed in baskets and hung up to drip
until nearly dry, then rolled in little
meal or bran. Prepared this way The
mules devour them with keen appe.
fite and seem to enjoy them fully as
much as corn or oats. Now that corr
and feed Of every kind is held al tsncl
high prices this new use that cottorseed
can be put TO. is a great discovery anC
one of much value to the planter Ey

A SOUTHERN SONG.

Louisville Commercial
Judge J. Simmons, editor Of the Hen
derson Reporter, who has national
reputation as poet, who has tung
mauy sweet songs aud reflective verse OF
great value, has been requested by
Emma Abbott, the universally popular
songstress, to write Southern song for
her. Judge Simmons was formerly Of
Sardis, Miss, aud is the author of q
book Of poems published by Lippincott
and is a we'll known contributor to many
Southern iournale, Last winter Miss
Abbott. to whom he had dedicated some
appreciative verses, made the request,
and on Wednesday Judge Simmons
happened to be in Cincinnati stopping
at the same hotel with the Abbott Opera
Troup. The little prima donna. found
il out and at once renewed her request,
offering him his own price for q South
eru song which she might sing on her
Southern tour. Judge Simmons, whose
fine talents are not inspired by lucre,
but who has the true poets disregard
for it, informed her that he would pro-
baby write the song. but on tue condi-
ton solely that he would be simply com.
peusated by hearing her sing it, Aud
Miss Abbott agreed that If il were possl-
BILE che would sing in opera in Henderson
one night and render his song. Judge
Simmons should by all means give us !
Southern lyric that would be made popu
lar and famous by this charming lady. His
muse flies to many tender and truly lyri
cal themes, and the new Southern song
if he writes it. may be confidently reliet
upon to be characteristic and worthy hi
