Mines of Ice in Idaho.

fTUlIl an ENClIdIEV
Large deposits of ice, believed by some
to be relics Of the glacial period in this
country, have been discovered in Idaho.
They are imbedded in earth and over
grown with moss, which has prevented
them from washing away. 1t is seri-
ously proposed to form companies to
mine this ice for sale in western cities
where ice is always dear and scarce.

An Era Of Organization.


Every branch of industry is organic
ing. even among the agricultural classes.
In Kansas the swine breeders meet at
Wichita. December 3, to form a society:
the general stockbreeders at Topeka,
January S. the fruit growers at Paola,
December 3. and 5; the poultrymen at
Wichita this week, and the wheat
raisers more recently. and the dairymen
met last month. Soon we shall have as
sociations of corn growers, hay makers,
egg fanciers, cabbage gardeners, bean
culturists, etc, etc. All this organiza-
ton is to good purpose, however, and
leads TO better methods and better re-
suits and some day viii lead 10 better

4 Hunting Story.

An exchange tells this: There Is
an old gentleman in Il mountain
country who is very fond of hunt
ing. Whenever he walks abroad
his wife always bears him company.
Recently he went out to drive the
COWS. During his walk he discov-
cred five squirrels up one tree, and
also discovered that he had lost all
his bullets but one. He sat down,
drew out his pencil and daybook,
and, carefully surveying the distance
up to the first squirrel he began:
If six grains of powder will move a
bullet three inches; how many
grains will it take to carry it up to
the squirrel, a distance Of thirty feet?
made his calculation, put in the
required amount of bowder, just
enough to kill the squirrel and for
the bullet not to pass through. He
banged away, and down came bnshy
tail. He took out his knife, cut out
the bullet, loaded up again, and
fired until he killed the five squirrels
with one bullet, and loaded with it
the sixth time.

In Illinois, as in many other
states there is law which provides
that railroad company cannot he

manning person. One day Sena-
tor Henry II. Evans, who likes a
oke better than meal, was telling
one of his rural constituents about
that law as they were riding to-
gether from Aurora to Chicago.
"Waal," said the granger finally,
''it's durn sight cheaper, then,
fur 'em to kill man than to cut of
his arm or his leg"
"Of course it is" said the Senator;
and then lowering his voice to Il
whisper he said in the granger's ear:
you see that axe up there?"
"Yes," whispered the constituent,
looking at the tools carried in the
ear for use in case of need.
"Well," said the Senator, "they
carry that to kill men with in case
they are hurt in an accident"

UNDER the new ballot reform sys-
TEN the tickets are all printed by the
state, and the electOr receives the
ticket from the polling officer in
blank; he then goes into the enclosed
space alone and marks his ballot,

balot-box. No one Is permitted to
see his ballot, nor to electioneer
within one hundred feet Of the polls.
Should II ticket be marked wrong
by mistake the voter may return the
ticket aud secure another, but all
the tickets received from the State
must be returned by the election
officers, either i'm the boxes or III the

CHICAGO public schools are among
the best In the United States. It's
reports show that during the last
year not II scholar was logged by
the teacher. The News calls atten-
tiulr to thi" fact. contrasting it with
the logging record of the Boston
schools during the same year, which
reached 20,5SO, a small number for
Boston. "A boy that has been
beaten often enough in the public
schools when quite young, is likely
to be beaten in business, in politics,
in love- In lawsuits, and IN picty af.
ter he has grown older" says the
News. II Is a curious fact that the
superintendent of the Boston schools
has recommended that boys under
ten years of age be exempted from
corporal punishment. Flogging in
the public schools should he abolish

is very little practiced, although,
however, the Salem small hoy
