Ice-,InkInr In IndIn.
From Chambers yournaI.l

Let me now sllude to an industry peculiar to the cold weather, which, except in small stations distant from the rail, is fast dying out, and that is the manufacture of ice. When I came out in 1858, Calcutta Madras and Bombay were wholly dependent on American ice, supplied by the Tudor Ice company, and retailed at two annas the ST that is, two pounds of ice brought iron America were sold in India for Sd. The HaoftLSeil (up country) was entirely dependent on artificial ice which could only he made where the cold weather was really felt; in all other parts we were obliged to cool our drinks with saltpetre and sal-ammoniaei or during the hot winds, by placing the bottles before the khus-khus tatties, or swinging them in basket covered with wet straw By these appliances we could cool our drinks down to 65' Fahrenheit; or by carrying on the cool ing with fresh supplies of salts, we conid even freeze the water. But the process was tedious and expensive. Science came to our aid and sulphuric ether and ammoniAe ma chimes came gradually into vogue, snd latter ly Carre's wonderful pneumatic machine, which have seen produce ice in two min utes in temperature of 950. With these great appliances, block ice is now available in districts where it could not formerly be had at from II to annas per ser. To return to the old process-it depended entirely on the production of cold by evaporation. as also on sufficient cold weather and the pre- sence of the dry west wind the east wind being absolutely fatal to the production of ice. The essentials for the process are i. Exposed and treeless ice-felds, which are partitioned of into four to five feet squares, in which two to three inches of straw are laid down. 2. Myriads of fiat, porous earthen saueers six to eight inches in diameter. g. An unlimited supply of water. 4. An army of coolies and water carriers. ,. The ice pits, the most important adjunct in the pro- cess, is very carefully constructed; great pit is dug, and in it rests 6 huge timber cone, tho space between it and the sides of the pit being rammed with charcoal. chaf, or straw as non-conductors of heat; the cone itself is lined thickly with coarse felt or blankets and then a layer of mating; over all straw hut, with very thick roof and walls and very small entrance, is constructed Now for the process. Whenever the outside ther- mometer reads 4so, then ice can be manufac- tured by evaporation. Half an inch of water is poured, over night, into the saucers by bheesties (watsr- -carriers); then, at a- m., great drum is beaten at the pit to summon the coolies, who assemble in hundreds, each armed with a scoop, with which ths ice is skillfully turned out of the saucer into an attendant vessel and well rsmmed into it When full it is taken to the pit, emptied there, and again rammed down. Thus all the ice has a chance of consolidating by rsgnla- tion; and in a good season thousands of pounds weight of ice may be stored, accord ] ing to pit room available.

How Clara Belle says S me Oet& heAdy Tor
 the Altar
 The time appointed for tho marriage cere- mony in church was o'clock in the after noon. Borealis Brown, the bridegroom, and Aurora White, the bride, were in close car riage ten blocks away, at six minutes be- fore 3.
 ''we shall get there right on time, " said he looking at his watch.
 Now, it is dreadfully unfashionable to get to the church promptly, and Aurora would have felt just like dropping through the floor, don't you know, if she had walked up the aisle on time.
 "Donit you think, my dear, it would be better to be ten minutes late ?' said she, leaning against him in kind Of harmless hug.
 "No; pride myself on punctuality."
 Five minutes, then 2"
 'Now, my darling, don't coax"
 Just as you say"
 She put her hand carelessIy on his sh oul- der, and then let it drop slowly along down over his coat to small pocket set in at the waist seam, where it fingered for few sec onds.
 s'You have the ring where you can find it readily" she remarked, lying piscidly back in her seat "There is nothing so awkward as to tumble for the ring at the altar. you know"
 ''Oh, I've made sure on that point, as told you," be said confidently. ''I slipped the ring right into this handy little pocket, where I-good Lord in heaven !''
 'swhat, Borealis-what ?'
 ''The ring is lost" Y"
 He thrust his fingers into the pocket mad ly, again and again, but the ring surely was not there He made wild conjectures felt must Lave left it at Aurora's residence. He ordered the coachman to turn about. When they had gone almost back to the house public clock struck 3.
 'sWhat is that 2'' said Aurora, pointing to the bottom of the carriage.
 The ring lay glittering in corner.
 'I must have dropped it." said Borealis, picking it up, 'but swear I looked in that very spot two minutes ago."
 He had looked there, as matter of fact, just before Aurora threw the ring down.
 Well" he remarked, looking at his watch again, ''you will have your own way after all. We can't get to-the church before ten minutes late anyhow"
 'sTo be sure"
 Acute presence of mind is characteristic ot brides. They may blush, but they know what they are about. Their eyes may be dim with tears, but they can see misplaced thread in their dress. Two blocks from the church Aurora expressed fear that she WAS as pale as 8 ghost.
 t'Say fair as alabaster," Borealis sug- gested.
 ''Nov my dear" she retorted. ''tbis is no time for compliments. Is there the least bit of color in my face ?''
 'Well, no, but"
 'I must look ghastly."
 Would you like to blush as you go in Sn
 ''Yes"
 He threw his arms around her, drew her to his breast with the grip of 8 wrestler, and kiss ed her loud and long. He wasthrough with it just as the carriage door was opened by an usher, and she walked into the church with 8 satisfactory amount of pink on her eheeks.

Drying Foods by Evaporation.
Am Enormous Trade Which Has Been Recently Established.
 Ina NaxU Vor

The low cost and abundance in this coun- try of many food products which are com paratively scarce in Europe has led many in- ventors to study the problem of packing these products in such a way that they will bear transportation and take up as little room as possible. The export of fresh fruits
 especially apples, has been carried on to some extent, but the freight and risk of spelling is so great that it only pays to send the finest variety of apples The late John H. Aspin- wall, of Duchess county, on the Hudson river was accustomed to send 500 barrels of fine apples to Liverpool in good apple years, but the price for such fruit was very high
 California pears and pIums are shipped to Europe in large quantities from New Yerk, but in that case also the fruit is more of luxury than a regular fruit product, and some means of getting ordinary fruits to

Official statistics of emigration from Ger many during the past ten years have been published at Berlin. After the United States the chief country to which the Germans went in that period was Brazil. For 1872 the total for all countries was 125, ,65O for 1873 it was 1o3, ,639; for 1877 it had fallen to 21, 9G4 but by 1880 it had risen to 206, 19O, while for 1881 there was further enormous increase. Out of 1O5, 639 emigrants 45, 177 were under 20 years of age, and 60, ,47O were over. The most of them had saved money and were from the agricultural districts or belonged to the artisan classes. It is the opinion of the report that Prince Bismarck's commer- cial policy has not had much to do with the movement, which Is ascribed vaguely to 6 strong wandering impvlse. The condi- tions of life in Germany are declared not to be bad; it is only that abroad they are bet ter.

Some of the business men of Cincinnati are not pleased with the treatment they re- csive in that city, and are therefore about to forsake it. The other day one large concern announced that it had decided to remove to Chicago, and large tobacco industry will follow suit. Cincinnati thus loses two im- portant concerns one of which employs over 400 hands, and which paid $556, GOO in rev enue taxes last year. One Cincinnati bank handles $4,0OO, ,0OO for the concern. The causes of dissatisfaction are several. One is the alleged unjust valuation, and another is the refusal of Cincinnati to patronize them in preference to foreign houses. It is poor pol icy to drive such concerns as these away from city.

It has also determined that no person shall be permitted to bring actions in that court against corporations un- less such person was the owner of the stock upon which he sues at the time the act was committed by which he feels aggrievsd.
