objected to this, but Ackley told the man
he should have all the ducks retrieved by
the dog. The man answered that should
the dog retrieve another duck he would
shoot him. Ackley replied if the man
shot the dog he would shoot the man.
Another duck was shot and in sprang
the dog, and was as promptly shot.
Ackley reciprocated by filling the man
full of shot from his towling- piece, after
which he Immediately left the scene and
returned rapidly to the city. Some time
later man came into his office complain
ing that some one had filed him full of
bird-shot. Ackley proceeded to pick
them out one by one, at the same time
condoling with the man and at the close
OF the process charging him good bill.
The boldness of the man is shown by
of the Canal Bank of Cleveland. At the
time of the construction Of the insane
asylum he had been appointed trustee,
and as such VAS custodian of the money
from the State which he deposited in the
bank. Shortly after this the bank broke.
Ackley went Immediately and demanded
the money belonging to the State. This
was refused him. He at once secured a
sledge hammer, chisel and bars, went to
the bank, and proceeded to demolish the
safe. Succeeding in this he secured the

very few men who would have undertaken
such task, and fewer still who would
have accomplished it.
A peddler from Ashtabula came to the
medical building ostensibly to sell his
wares, but more from curiosity. Making
his way into the anatomical room the
students locked the door after him, and
telling the peddler they would disseci
him, so terrified him that he jumped out
OF the second story window, and unfor.
tunately was somewhat injured. This
again raised great indignation among
the opponents of the school, and crowd
was gathered to attack and destroy the
college building. Ackley, getting wind
of this, loaded to the muzzle a little can
non and placing it on the top Of the steps

in the most emphatic language common
to him that if they approached he would

AN OLD WAREHOUSE

The Rev. J. G. Wood, the we'll. known
English writer on natural history, relates
the following true story in his recent
book on the horse:
"Some years ago an elderly gentleman
died, leaving to his widow all his prop
erty, including an old and staid horse.
1t SO happened that there was a review
in the neighborhood, and the old lady,
who was stone-deaf, drove over to see it.
During the maneuvres a regiment Of
cavalry passed her, and as they did so
the trumpeter blew on his instrument
some signal which she from her deafness
did not hear. The horse, however, heard
and understood the trumpet call. Old as
he was, he sprang off at full speed, gal
Hoped into the ranks, and put himself in
line with perfect accuracy. The signal
to charge was then given, and off went
the horse with his comrades. The old
lady shrieked, and dragged at the reins
to no purpose. Where the regiment went
the horse went; when it wheeled he
wheeled, and when it charged he charged,
dragging his expostulating mistress after
him throughout the whole OF the man.
oeuvres.
"After the review was over the officers
crowded round the old horse, who had
evidently belonged to the cavalry, and
offered a very high price for him, in order
to make regimental pet of him. The
offers, however, were refused"

The Ice-house.

Compared with necessary cost, nothing
is more profitable than an ice-house The
smallness of the number OF ice-houses
found in the country is sufficient founda-
ton for the belief that but few farmers
properly estimate their value. Rightly
they are more than luxury. To those
who have them they become necessity.
They do more than give pleasure and
comfort: they allow Of better butter being
made, preserve vegetables, fruits and
meats, and in many other ways will in
crease the income or reduce the expenses
of the household. Rightly employed
their contents not only make food and
drink more agreeable, but more whole
some. Nor need an ice-house to be ex-
pensive. We know of an ice-house that
has given good satisfaction for years, and
its sides are made Of poles and its roof OF
clapboards. A clese pen of poles was
built up to the height of eight feet. An
other close pen was built around this one,
two feet from it on all sides, the space
between the two being filed with sawdust
as the outer pen was built up. Pole raft
ers held the clapboard roof, which pro-
jected three feet at each end, the gables
being left open, to save material and
labor, and also to secure ventilation. The
floor was excavated to depth of three
feet, and drain dug from the outside.
Put the house as near the dwelling as
prudent, considering location. etc. Now
is the time to build the ice-house, and we
say earnestly to every reader: build an ice
house if you have none already, building
as nice one as your means justify

A PIONEER DOCTOR.

During the twenty years which DR..
Ackley practised in northern Ohio, his
reputation became very great. Being the
first man OF this section who practiced
especially surgery, and holding prom
inent position in what was one Of the
most influential medical schools Of the
West, he became widely known for his
professional ability and dexterity as an
operator. His method with his patients
was very brusque, still those who knew
him say they never saw man who could
enter a sick room and be more sympa-
thizing and gentle. He was man who
greatly disliked to be imposed upon, and
wished TO have the value of his services
promptly recognized. A story is told that
a man came to him one day with a dis
located thumb. Ackley quickly reduced
it, and when asked for his bill said 80
To this the man objected as exorbitant.
Ackley asked to see the thumb again, and
thereupon dislocated it as quickly as he
had previously put it in place, saying to
the man if he did not like the charge he
could go to some other surgeon.
He was man who was impulsive in his
actions, as is shown by the following in
eident: One day while out duck.shooting
he was accompanied by favorite dog.
Another hunter was on the opposite side
of the stream, and as the ducks which he
shot fell into the water, DIR. Ackley's dog
would swim in and get them. The man

WOMEN AS ARCHITECTS.

Many avenues have been opened to
women that we're formerly closed, but
there is one pre-eminently suited for
women which is as yet unauthorized with
that sex. It seems to me that for women
there is an excellent opportunity in archi-
lecture. There are few women, it is
true, engaged in the offices of architects,
but the proportion, when considered in
relation to the numbers employed in the
other professions, as we'll as sciences, is
small. One architect has been known to
declare that he employed woman assist-
ant because she offered suggestions of
such feasibility and practicability as no
man could offer. To this profession,
dealing SO directly with "home" and its
comforts and conveniences, woman is
particularly well adapted.
Woman holds the place of housekeeper
and home maker-why not let her COM
bine the titles and become the "house-
maker" Do not call her an architect if
that title be too high sounding, or one of
which the profession is jealous as belong
ing to something of different order;
give her some other title-creste a pro-
fession for her. 1t is case where the
prejudice of man can initiate very strong
ly against her advancement. Carpenters
and masons will probably refuse for a
long time to be "bossed by woman"
Nevertheless in planning for the comfort
of the household woman may find wide
scope for the exercise Of her ingenuity
and her knowledge of home necessities.
Visit man who has built house for
himself, notice the conveniences and ap-
pliances and see if two times out of three

that. 1t saved SO many steps, she said"

DRIVING BOYS FROM HOME.

Mothers who are disturbed by the
noise and untidiness of boys at home
must be careful lest by their reproaches
they drive children from it in search Of
pleasure elsewhere. "There are those
banisters all finger marks again." said
Mrs. Curry, as she made haste with soft
linen cloth to polish down the shining
oak again. George" she said with a
flushed face, as she gave the cloth de-
cided wrench out of the basin of suds,
"if you go up those stairs again before
bedtime you shall be punished" II

said George. 81 cannot stay in the
kitchen am 80 much in the way; and I
cannot go into the parlor for fear I'll
muss that up; and now you say cannot
go up to my own room. 1 know Of q

to himself; "boys are never told they are
in the way there, and we can have lots of
fun. I'll go down to Nils corner. can
smoke cigar as we'll as any boy, if it did
make me awful sick the first time. They
shall not laugh at me again about it."
And 30 the careful housekeeper virtually
drove her son from the door to hang
about the steps and sit under the broad
inviting portico of the village grog-shop.

DECEM BEE

A beautiful river is gliding away
Through the wildering hours of soft June
day.
The quivering waves in the light and the shade,
Rejecting our happiness, blooming to fade,
The river adrift with hopes and fears,
The river of hours, and days, and years.
September has shed all her bronze and her
gold,
The river is singing cur song as of old;
1t echoes the tones of our life in its fow;
The joyous, the bitter, the sweet and low,
The river a.gleam with smiles and tears,
The river of hours, and days, and years.
December embraces the earth in his clasp,
Enseal.ng her charms in his lingering grasp.
The river between us is frozen and chill.
1t echoes no longer; its music is still,
The river of life, go full of tears,
Obi river of hours, and months, and years

SOME CHOICE RECIPES.
Canned Plums for Pies.

SoAAoN euinS AOA a AO0s
Fill quart jars with the fruit and pour
in enough cold water to cover them. Set
the jars in broad pot of hot water, tax
ing care that they shall not touch each
other. Bring the water in the pot to
boil and cook ten minutes, remove from
the fire, screw the tops on the jars while
still hot and set away in a cool, dark
place. Almost any sort of fruit may be
put up in this way and will be nice for
pies or buildings, or by stewing with
little more sugar will make good sim
pie dessert.
Canned Apple.
Peel, core and quarter tart, juicy ap-
pies, laying each piece in cold water az
soon as prepared. Drain the water from
them, weigh them and put them over the
fire in porcelain lined kettle. Cook
slowly half an hour, dip out the juice,
and add half pound Of sugar for each
pound OF fruit. Boil ten minutes and
seal in pint glass jars.
Peach Marmalade.
Small peaches serve for this purpose
quite as well as large once. The fruit
should be peeled and sliced or cut into
small pieces Weigh it before putting
over the fire. Cook three quarters of an
hour and put in three quarters of pound
of sugar for each pound of fruit. Boil
steadily twenty minutes, stirring con-
stantly to prevent burning. Ladle out
all the superfuous syrup and put it into
cans to serve for pudding sauce. Be
careful that no hard Jumps are left un-
cooked in the marmalade. Fill half pint
jelly glasses with the fruit and fasten on
closely fitting covers.
| Peach Conserve.
| Peel and halve fine firm peaches and
| lay them in enough sugar to cover them
in order to extract the juice. At the end
of six hours pour off the juice and sugar,
and heat both to boiling. Simmer ten
minutes, drop in the fruit and boil ten
minutes longer. Take the peaches out
with strainer and put them into glass
jars, keeping these hot in scalding water
until the syrup left in the kettle shall
have boiled thick. This should be in
about fifteen minutes. Pour this over
the fruit in the jars and seal them while
hot.
Grape Marmalade.
Pick over and stem ripe, well favored
grapes. Cook over steady fire half an
hour after they have come to boil. Dip
out most of the juice, and rub the grapes
through colsnder. Return to the fire
and add sugar in the proportion of pound
for pound unless the grapes are excep-
tionally sweet. In this case three-quar-
ters Of pound of sugar to one Of fruit
may be used. Boil half an hour longer
and put up in air tight glass jars or tum-
blers.

Ice and Fish Ponds,

A surprising feature about the in
creasing uses and storage of ice, is that
so many haul their ice from two to five
miles, when it is feasible to construct
one or more good ice ponds in nearly
every neighborhood. Excellent ice
ponds can be constructed at compar-
atively small cost, which will pay good
profits entirely independent of the ice
crop. Irefer to carp ponds. If it can
be said that there is any mystery about
successful carp culture, it refers almost
wholly to the proper construc-
ton of the pounds. A properly con-
structed carp pond is the best possible
ice pond, and the harvesting of the ice
in no wise interferes with the carp.
The cost of making the pond may be
realized in two or three years by
the sale of ice to those who wish to cut
and house it. To lay out and superin-
tend such work, also, under drains,
bitches, water pipes, ect., there should
be in every populous townships an ag-
ricultural engineer with proper instru-
ments. Not one civil engineer in o
hundred has any practical knowledge
of the subject. The result is that thou
sands of dollars are squandered every
year upon American farms by reason
of misdirected work, requiring q little
technical education and practical ex-
perience.-[ M. p. Pierce.
