WHERE TO FIND HEAVEN.

There was a Methodist minister
who preached one day on heaven.
The next morning he was going
down town, and he met one OF his
old wealthy members. This old friend
said: "Pastor, you preached a good
sermon about heaven, but You never
told me where heaven is."
"Ahw said the pastor, 81 am
glad Ofthe opportunity this morning.
| have just come in from the hilltop
yonder. In that cottage there is
member of your church. She is sick
in bed with fever: her two little
children are sick in the other bed,
and she has not got bit of coal, or

any bread. If you will 60 down town

her, and go up there and say, MY

and you read the twenty-third Psalm,
and you then get down on your
knees and pray. If you don't see

NATURAL ICE HOUSE.

In breckenridge County, Kentucky,
three miles from Walkers mill. is
one OF the most remarkable natural
ice houses in the world, and a curiosi.
ty well worth travelling some DIS
tance to see. It consists of Il cave
with an entrance abont eight feet
wide and twelve feet higb.-The
temperature in this cave ranges
ahOnt 200 above zero the year
around, and in the summer time the
change is so great that it nearly
freezes a person to death to go into
it. Above the cave on the hill is To-
Gated a considerable stream of wat
er that makes its way in large drip
pings through the roof OF this re-
markable subterranean passage.
These drippings CONCEAL in the cave
and fall in solid Jumps of ice from the
ceiling. This freezing has doubtless
been going on for years, as the
cave contains thousands of tons OF
ice.-Dr. II. G. Duval, of Big Clifty,
who had occasion to get some ice
from this natural storehouse for a
patient in the neighborhood, says
that it is the purest and best ice he
ever saw and that, standing at the
mouth, the falling of the ice can be
heard like thunder in the distance.

ELECTRIC LIGHT CARTOONS.

Where are all the earbons made
that are burned daily in the electric
lights in use throughout the United
States!" asked Mail and Express
reporter of the president of one of
the leading light companies in this
country the other day.
Two thirds of them," he replied,
"are manufactured in Cleveland.
Ohio. There are, according to the
latest statistics, about 100 tons
In daily consumption, and out of that
number a shade over 100 tons are
turned out in the twenty carbon fur
naces in Cleveland. The capacity
OF an ordinary furnace is about 49,.
600 carbons, but some of the manu-
iactnrers are now running over time,
so great has the demand grown. Six
years ago all the carbons burned
throughout the country were made
IN a single room in Boston, where
ten men we're employed. Cartoons
are made chiefly from the residuum
OF oil. after it has been refined, and
the deposit usually found around
the natural gas well is also coming
into general use, as it does not sput-
ter when made into carbons. The
material is first ground into a pow
der, when a little pitch is added, and
the whole is made into a stiff batter,
when it is run into moulds. These
are then packed into boxes and the
latter placed in furnace, where
they are subjected to intense heat.
Cartoons are now sold at 1927 thous-
and, with the prospect of an early
increase in price,"

REPAIRING BARNS.
A Few Suggestions Which May Prove VAIL
liable to Many Farmers.

A barn improperly repaired is often
better left alone. Too little attention is
generally given to light and ventila-
ton. All know the consequences of
improper ventilation. but the necessity
of light is not so generally understood,
or If known is not appreciated. Grass,
for an apparent illustration. does not
do well in shady places; it has a siekly
look and is unhealthy. A close OBJ
server can notice the same general ap-
pearance in animals, especially in
calves and colts deprived OF light.
Plenty of light is necessary for
the most perfect development Of
almost all animals To say that
too little light in a barn is the
cause of considerable lameuess among
horses is putting itrather mildly. Take
an animal from dark stall, lead him
TO the door upon a bright sunshiny
day when the ground is covered with
snow. Immediately hitch him up.
Take a drive.of several miles, and dur
ing all this time observe the actions Of
the animal closely. If he does not
make some nisstep, stumble over or
hit his foot against something, es-
pecially il ne is refined up tight, it win
be miracle, II you would know the
full effects or the exact feelings, try il
on yourself Stay in dark room for
several hours, then go out into the
bright sunlight when the ground is
covered with snow, but do not shade
your eyes. A person once having
tried the experiment viii thereafter
see that his driving horse, at any rate,
will have sufii cient amount Of light.
The stables can be very easily ar
ranged so that each animal will get at
least d part OF the light OF one window.
But better still, the light should DO
such as to make the whole stable equal
liz bright. The alterations will. Of
course, depend upon the building. An
other essential point is the subject Of
drainage. which too often is the cause
OF impure air and many diseases Of the
feet, as well as Of the system generally.
Ii must be further remembered that a
healthy colt is naturally full OF mis-
chief, and il he gets half q chance is
very liable TO get tangled up in the
managers or divisions between stalls If
these are not properly adjusted. Even
the old reliable animals, when not at
work, will get into trouble sometimes
if the stables are not properly repaired.
A little foresight in the planning and
repairing Of barns may do much ia
preventing serious accidents Orange
