Ice-Dealers Worried.

This continued mild weather makes the
question of supplying the city with ice next
summer a serious one, say the dealers.
Comparatively speaking, there is but little
ice stored here" one of them remarked yes
terday; land indications are that but little
will be cut in this vicinity. At this time
last year we were cutting good ice and
there were several good freezes later. For
three years past very good crops of ice have
been secured, but if there is any this season
it will come somewhat as surprise. What
makes the situation the more unfavorable
is the fact that in the northern part of the
State where our supply comes from when
the canal fails, ice has been stored for two
years or more, and it has softened and set
tied tOgethern

AN ENTERPRISE OF WOMEN.
The Building the Propylaum Company Pro-
poses to Erect for the Use of Clubs.

The woman's stock company known as
the Indianapolis Propylaum has purchased
lot on North street, between Pennsylvania
and Meridian, seventy feet front, facing
the Blind Asylum, and will soon prepare
plans and advertise for bids for the erection
of the proposed clubhouse. The progress
of this enterprise has attracted much local
interest, as more than seventy of the promi-
nent ladies of the city are stockholders, and
no trouble is anticipated in placing the full
amount of stock. By the articles of incOr-
poratlon only women can hold stock, and
all the business interests of the company
are managed by a board of women. The
building contemplated will contain an audi
persons, and adapted to concerts, lectures,
receptions, balls and art exhibitions. 1t
VIII also have two suites of club
rooms of convenient siZe-One for per-
manent and exclusive occupation and one
Tor general renting purposes. A library,
dining-room, toilet-rOoms and kitchen,
equipped throughout with all the modern
convenienees are included in the plan.
1t is probable that indianapolis has more
clubs for women than any other CITY of its
no rooms or building especially adapted to
their use, and consequently they are almost
ALL Obliged TO meet in private parlors. The
indianapolis Propylaeum has taken the
u
footing. by providing them with handsome
and convenient rooms centrally located.
Similar buildings have been erected by or
CARNATIONS of women in Milwaukee, Grand
Rapids and other cities, and have proved
useful and profitable from the first. The
Milwaukee clubhouse cost S25,O 900, and
that in Grand Rapids about $1,000 The
Propylaum stock is at present limited to
$4,000 but will probably be increased to
$4,000 or 81, 900. The name Propylaum
signifies the gateway to the Athenian
Acropolis, and hence symbolizes an ap-
proaeh TO higher culture. 1t is intended
that the Propyleum shall be center of
cultivation for the public, and particular
ly the women, of Indianapolis
The ladies are working in the most bust
ness-like way, and expect TO manage the
property so that il shall pay good per
cent to the stockholders from the start
The foundations of the building, which
will be about IS feet front by 60 feet deep,
viii be laid this summer. The president of
the company is Mrs. May Wright Sewall,
vice-president. Mrs. Margaret ID. Chislett;
secretary, Mrs. John A. Holman; treasurer,
Mrs. Henry ID. Pierce. The board of di-
rectors consists of Mesdames Sewall, CHS
lett, Holman, Pierce. Foster, Walcott, Mill
igan, Robertson, Allen, Atkins, HYDE, Fair
banks, Shipp, Landers and Stewart.

NEW ENGLAND'S "NEARNESS."
Some Remarkable Cases Of Yankee Thrift
and Calculation.

Some Remarkable Cases Of Yankee Thrift
and Calculation.
Jane Gregory, in December Wide Awake.
Shakespeare makes Hamlet say:
Thrift, thrift, Horatio! the funeral

Did coldly furnish forth the marriage taDle-
But good New England woman did
.'thriftier" thing than that. Her mother
had long sickness and finally died, OF IN,
tiammatOry rheumatism, leaving severai
half-used bottles of medicine which be-
daughter for lit ought not to be wasted"
she said. She offered to sell 1T at DIS
count to neighbor, but finding 1t left on
her hands she took it all herself for sore
throat, colds, gastric trouble, and whatev-
er allment she happened TO have.
The same woman once told two visitors
whom she had invited to tea that she had
been in good deal of trouble that day to
calculate upon just how many biscuits to
about her own family; she allowed one
apiece, and an extra one In case OF being
extra hungry" but where two new persons
were concerned whose appetites and habits
were an unknown quantity she was In sucn
state of mind that she was fairly upset"
and at the table she watched with Heen
eyes to see what was to be the fate of the
one extra" biscuit, which was all she could
bring herself to provide beyond the regular
extra" of the family.
certain New England family will never
forget their inward amusement at the re-
mark of near woman tas penuriOusneSs
and close calculation are phrasedl, who had
come to see them in the beginning of her
annual round of visiting to "save her
board" she remarked at the dinner-table
that the food tasted good,n for she had
been keeping herself short" in expecta-
ton of shutting up her house.
She had been brought up in such small,
narrow way that she "cOuld tell to q pin"
every article she had with her. When a
little girl she had been sent from home to
school, and boarded with her aunt Esther,
having for roommate girl named Han
nah. At the close of the ten-weeks term,
when getting her things together, she went
to her relative, with these words:
AUNT Esther, / wouldn't do such fhing
as to say that Hannah would steal, but
when / came here had seven needles and
four rows of pins. Now, Aunt Esther, five
pins are gone, and there is one of the
needles which can't find. Hannah must
have taken them.H
Once when she was going away for two
or three days, she offered a neighbOr the
mornings fairgrounds to steep over, and,
to save it, pumpkin pie which she was
afraid wouldn't keep till she got home.
But she returned sooner than she expected,
and said if the pie had not been eaten she
would take it back.

Antique Repousse

In one way and another this might be
taken as type of the tendency In wall
decoration now, and it is astonishing
what results can be produced in it. 1t
justifes its prominence. On ceilings,
coves, walls and as an upper third, it can
be decorated to yory high degree, and
so varied in the combinations and con-
trasts as to afford room for the widest
individual taste in its use. 1t will be
well worth your while to step in and see
these goods. They are a study.

The indianapolis Pottery Company is
making further improvements to its plant
by charging the capacity and placing the
kilns under roof. 1t is said that a number

Baron Jomini, alas! is dead, and "the pen
of Russia" is laid to rest. A pleasant, wit
ty, genial little old gentleman was the
Baron, who inherited all the traditions of
Prince GOrtschakoff, and some of his preju-
dices. In his hospitable house on the
Moyka it was pleasant to hear him discourse,
in his sarcastic style, upon men and things,
1t was he who declared that the hanging
of the Journalists would be the surest means
of giving peace TO Europe, and that parlia-
lawyers were permitted to sit in representa-
tive assemblies. He was not ninety-seven,
as one paper says, but seventy-one. His
father died in 1869 at the age of ninety. He
had no real influence at the Russian foreign
office

setting hen does not set in too dry a

setting hen does not set in too dry a
place.
A wet sod is the best nest you can
give her. Also that she is not dis
turbed by the other hens.
When the chickens are out, milk is
again Indispensable, the little ones
wanting plenty of food, plenty of
drink, and plenty of sunshine.
Boiled milk will stop diarrhGa,
and curdled milk will cure constipa-
ton.
In summer hens thrive best if al
lowed to roam about, chasing grass
hoppers and nipping greens. If you
fence anything in, let it your vege-
tables and not your hens.
One more advice: When you take
your eggs from the nest, have a pen
Gil and mark the eggs with the date.
This is simple performance which
will allow you to be sure as to their
age. Keep reputation for "strictly
fresh" eggs, and stick to it, as it
gives you a right to ask the highest
price for them. Never send dirty
egg away. The best way to do this
is to keep the nest clean. Practice
is a good teacher, which will add
greatly to these few hints, and make
the whole business a cheerful one.
This is at least my experience.--Ex.
