white-haired guide led her to the Saviour, and he said to her:
 ''My child, do you want to dwell forever in this placea'
 "to get away from the dark place had seen that I said I would be willing to en- dure anything if might be allowed to stay there."
 She says that the radiant figure before her said to her that he would put mark upon her that she might be known of all who saw her for his own. And then he stretched out his hand and placed it on her head, saying that her hair should ever after be white as snow. Then her dream faded from her mind and she slept naturally until morning. When she awoke her hair was as 1t is now-like snow, as she had dreamed it was to be-.
 "When my mother saw me that morning" Ny hair had always been brown before. When spoke to her and she knew my voice she thought must have been sick, but had not. I felt perfectly well. told my mother my dream, and at first she cried, but.after while she stopped crying and should always be good girl. She was glad, and always believed that my hair turned white because I was marked for one of Christ's own."
 This is the story of Miss Johanson's vision. She told it in plain, natural way, and as 0oAS of the Saviour on her hair. She has, 50 all who know her say, lead spotless life.
 Iee-House Ventilation
 From n. MzErisslls, in Country Gentleman.l
 With many housshold the keeping of ice during the summer season is a problem not easy of solution, and with the adventt-ot warm weather the old question of how to do it, which seems to be discussed anually In your pages, comes up for an answer. have been somewhat of a careful observer of these discussions, and have noted that experience favors free circulation of air over the top of the ice covering, while 8 large number of those interested in the subject can see no good reason for allowing current of hot air-or cool air either, for that matter-to circulate freely over the ice covering, in ord CT to keep the ice from melting
 In the discussion various reason have been given for the necessity of free ventilation, but so far as have oberved none, according to my notion, have lit upon the real philoso- phy of this treatment of ice-honses and as l have never had my say in your columns on this subject, hope may not be deemed i'm pertinent for giving one reason for ventlla- ting ice-houses. For preserving ice during the season when the mercury stands above uG, b essary. An ice-house should not be in size less than eight by ten feet, with eight-foot posts, inside measure. The ice should be cut in as large blocks as can be conveniently handled and carefully packed, all interstices filled either with chopped ice or snow, so as to exclude the air as far as possible. The sides and floor should have layer of sawdust ten or twelve inches thick.
 The ice house should have double walls packed with sawdust, and the outside wall should be tight, and the building banked, so that the air cannot have access to the ice from below, while their should be good drain age. After the house is filled, wait for cold day for put on the final covering-ths cold- CT the better-for the more cold you can i'm prison with your ice, themore heat it will re- quire to melt it. If you cover the ice when the thermometer registers 30' below zero, then we shall secure ice that is 520 below the freezing point, and it will require considera- ble warm weather to bring it to the best non- conductor. If we could cover our ice with lot of heecy woollen blankets 1t would keep
 we'll.
 If we could cover it with abestos or fae charcoal, it would keep still better, but as these would be rather expensive, we must look for something cheaper which will an swer the purpose, which we shall find in sawdust. It should be put on from twelve to eighteen inches thick, with free ventila- tion above. Sawdust, when applied to ice, soon becomes saturated with moisture, when it is good conductor of heat, but if the sur face is dry for two or three inches in depth by free circulation of air over it, then it be- comes good non-conductor, which is just the thing we must have surrounding our ice to keep 1t from being melted by the heat of summer.
 In this I think Is the solution of the con- undrum, why should ice houses be ventila- ted?
