The Care of Ice.

In most localities ice-houses are now
so common that there is usually little
difficulty in procuring supply of ice.
Still, in newly settled places, ice is often
difficult to obtain, and must be brought
from distance. In the sick-room, espe-
cially in some fevers. the life of the pa
tient almost depends upon having ice.
Then the usually cheap commodity be-
comes very precious, and every care
must be taken for its preservation. The
common method of wrapping a lump of
ice in blanket answers very we'll as
long as that remains dry, but as soon as
the blanket is wet through by the smelt-
ing of the ice, it becomes poor protec-
ton. The advice to place the ice upon
feather pillow and cover it with an
other, may be followed, if nothing bet
ter can be done. This affords the proper
conditions for the preservation of ice, in
completely surrounding it by some nom
conductor of heat. 1t will not require
much ingenuity to SO prepare a box,
with lining of batting, felt or
other none-conductor of heat, that it will
preserve ice for long time. If the ice
is to be used in small bits, to be placed in
the mouth of the patient, use sharp awl
for chipping off pieces of the proper size.
If powdered ice is to be applied to the
head, etc., first break the ice into pieces
as large as hens egg, then put these
into a canvas bag or coarse, very
strong towel, and by using a wooden
mallet, gradually at first, it may be red
uced to fine powder. Rubber bags are
made to hold ice in applying it to the
head, etc., but in the absence of these,
bladder will answer. american Ag-

German Duals.

Here we also made the acquaintance
of a Japanese prince; he had studied at
the university for three years, spoke
English and German perfectly, and in
grace of manner could vie with any
polished Frenchman. From him we
learned some curious facts regarding
the students duels. One day in every
week is set apart for these duels. When
fighting for the honor of their 'corps''
they wear caps-a cuirass-over the
breast, arms, and neck, leaving only the
face uncovered, which they hack most
numerically with their sharp and
double-edged swords. 1 saw one or two
of them horribly mutilated-the end of
the nose cut off and the cheek laid open
to the bone. 1t is only the ''corps" or
fighting students, who indulge ia the
innocent pastime. These duels are for
hidden by law, and the authorities are
always Oh the alert to take them in the
act, but they seem to accomplish very
little, owing to a very peculiar law of
Germany, which forbids gen d arme,
or policeman, from passing a nobleman
or prince; SO the students always have
one on hand, and when they hear of an
interfering party, they station the
prince in front, who has only to raise
his hand, when the police stand i'm
movable and witness the whole pro-
ceeding, no doubt to their great delight

A Tremendous Irrigation Scheme,

The most gigantic irrigation enter
prise ever inaugurated in the State of
California has been commenced in Fres-
no county, the canal for which will be
the largest in the state and fed by
Kings river. The water is intended to
irrigate 100000 900 acres of rich land, at
present barren through lack of water.
The source of supply Of this canal will
be higher than any other debouching
from the same stream. Its dimensions
are:-One hundred feet in width at the
bottom, levees an average of fifteen feet
IN height and eight feet wide at the top
broad enough for wagon road. The
depth of the water is expected to be five
feet, with fall of eighteen inches. to
the mile. The dam in the mountain
canon, from whence the water is taken
will be wonderful and permanent
one. 1t is twenty-five feet high, eight
hundred feet long, one hundred and
forty feet wide at the base and twenty
five feet wide at the top. It is riprapp-
ed on the inside with heavy rock, and
every precausion taken to make it suf-
ficiently strong to hold the great
weight of water that must be supported.
The water is led into the canal from q
large headgate constructed of heavy
timber, 100 feet in width and eighteen
feet high. 1t is planked over so as to
make a bridge for heavy wagons and
has wings to protect it from the floods.
The canal is expected to carry 1900
cubic feet of water per second.

Navigation in Strange Seas.

A well-known captain Of ship, re-
siding in San Francisco, got home from
a three months voyage one night this
week, and, as is his custom, surprised
his wife and little family by letting
himself in through the basement of his
house with latch key. The hour was
ten of the night and the basement was
dark. Unfortunately also, as pleasant
treat for his next trip, his better-han
had been putting up preserved apricots.
which were set to cool down stairs on
the top of some boxes. BY ships
chronometer, it took just thirteen Sec
cnds for that unhappy captain to kick
against the boxes and get seventeen
gallons of warm apricots in syrup all
over his shirt front, vest, pants and
down the back of his neck. Then he
rushed dripping upstairs, dancing on
the new carpets, and was met by his
wife at the head of the stairs with: 20,
Joe, my darling, back again home safe
and sound?' He gave one yell that
could have been heard by man reeting
the top-gallant sails of full-rigged
ship in storm, and beloved: ''Stand
of, woman! stand off! I have fallen
over a fruit cannery in the blarsted
basement. I'm all treacle, molasses,
bad jam and warm syrup. Unbend my
new sails and let me get q hot bath, .
and he made wild dive into the bath
room. San Francisco Nes0s- Letter.

In Scotland they have narrow, open

A man was riding donkey one day
across a sheep pasture, but when the
animal came to the shecp-drain he
would not go over it. So the man rode
him back short distance, turned him
around, and applied the whip, thinking,
of course, that the donkey, when going
at the top of his speed. would jump the
drain before he knew it. But not so.
When the donkey got to the drain he
stopped all of sudden, and the man
went over Mr.. Neddy's head. No sooner

Preparing Fruit for Market

Farmers are cheats We heard q
city man remark the other day. Il do
not buy a basket of Strawberries that
has not the best and biggest on top, and
when the peach season comes, 1 get a
dozen or two of fine peaches on top,
while the rest of the baskets filled with
small. green, gnarled fruit; they are all
cheats: The very next day after hear
ing this remark, we were among the
fruit commission houses, and in one
place saw some young men, who had
bought several crates of fruit to peddle.
They had lot of smaller baskets. to
which they transferred the berries from
the larger ones they had bought, and as
they filed these, they topped them with
the larger berries with surprising dex-
terity. We concluded that all the
cheating, in Strawberries at least, was
not done by the farmers. That there is
much ''deaconing'' (the market phrase
for topping) of peaches and other fruits,
we do not doubt, yet the tendency il all
in the other direction. Take peach
growers, for example, those who are
regularly in the business, and expect to
continue it, strive to make their brand
upon a crate or basket guarantee of
honest packing. This is insisted on at
all the meetings of peach-growers; only
recently we received the transactions Of
q fruit-growers' society in North Caro-
lima in which this point, honest pack
ing, was dwelt upon at great length.
Honesty is the best policy" is not q
proverb of the highest moral tone, as it
implies that it pays to be honest, but
the peach-growers are willing to adopt
it. In packing peaches, the first point
should be to assert them, making as
many grades as the condition of the
fruit requires. When brought to the
packing shed, the fruit is at once thinly
spread in the shade, in order that It
may cool as much as possible In as
sorting, any that are at all soft are put
aside. to be left at home; then two or
three qualities, extras, tirsts and Sec
onds, are made, and with the best
growers, the packages of each are alike
all through. 1t is allowable to turn the
colored sides of the top layer upper
most, in order that the fruit NAV ap-
pear at its best, but not to select large
specimens for the top layer. Those who
send peaches to market for the first
time, will find it to their advantage to
observe this rule. In packing grapes
for market, the box is opened at the
bottom, fine large punches are laid in
and the box is filled up with smaller
punches. This is done in order that
the fruit, when the top is taken of, may
present good appearance, and if the
filling is done with good fruit, even if
not the most select, there is no harm
done. But if, as is sometimes the case,
poorly ripened fruit, and even loose
berries are used to fill up, the grower
will in time find that his brand is not
in demand in the market. The fruit
grower, who expects to continue in
the business, cannot afford to pack his
fruit Observation-Disclosures Agricuk-

a Wasp's stra.e.Y.

Seth Green, the fsh-breeder, tells the
following story of y wasp's strategy.
He says one morning. when he was
watching spiders nest, wasp alight.
ed within an inch or two of the nest, on
the opposite side of the opening. Creep.
ing noisc!e<sly around towards the en-.
trance of the nest, the wasp stopped a
little short Of it, and for moment re-
manned. perfectly quiet in her web.
Then reaching out one of his antenns,,
he wriggled it before the opening and
withdrc" it. This overture had the de-
sired effect, for the boss of the nest, rs
large Il spider rs one ordinarily sees,
came out 10 see what new victim he had
caught. No sooner had the spider
emerged to that point ut which he was
at the worst disadvantage than the
wasp, with quick movement, thrust
his sting into the body of his foe, killing
him easily and almost instantly. The
experiment was repeated on the part of
the wasp, and when there was no re-
spouse from the inside he became salts
fed, probably, that lie held the fort. At
all events, he proceeded to cntev the
nest and slaughter the young spiders,
who were afterward carried off one at q
time.
