REFRIGERATINa CLOSET F,

REFRIGERATING CLOSET FOR DAIRY.
1t is not desirable to cool dairy by
means of ventilating pipes from an ice
house. The waste of ice costs more
than cooling tank kept at forty five de-
grees by the direct use of ice. With
such tank, pals twenty inches deep
and eight inches in diameter are used.
But by the newly introduced method iof
raising the cream by adding water to the
milk, the nsc of ice may be dispensed
with, to tho great relief of the dairymen
and families. AS soon as the milk is
strained into the pans, one third the
quantity of cold water from we'll lie
added; this causes the complete separa-
ton of the cream in twenty. -four hours,
at the expiration of which time the milk
will be sweet in the warmest weather.
In winter the water may be used at a
temperature of 130 degrees, and if the
milk is kept in any reasonably protected
dairy, it will not freeze in that time In
the coldest weather.--No,o York Times.

CAUGHT A PICKPoCKET.
The Ludlcrous and Embarrassing
Mistake Of a Wealthy New
York Woman.

A wealthy lady OF New York was
going down in an elevated car, with a
considerable sum of money in her
purse. At one of the stations man
came into the car, a man by whose
face she was struck, and she instant
ly said to herself that he must be a
pickpocket. When he sat down be-
side her she shought of her wellfilled
purse and resolved to watch him.
Suddenly her suspicious neighbor
put his hand down at his side. She
felt it slide down until it touched her
purse and instantly she put her hand
down and seized the stranger by the
wrist. He did not struggle, and she
was in some perplexity as to what
she should do next, but she thought
that if he should attempt to get away
she could, at least show that she had
him by the wrist with his hand in her
pocket.
She said afterward that she could
not tell why she did not give an alarm
at once, but she sat quietly, waiting
for her neighbor to make the first
move.
They rode in this way for some dis
ts.nce, whep to her amazement the
stranger at one of the downtown
stations prepared to rise.
"If you will let 60 of my arm, mad
am, he said, with the utmost cool
ness, al will get out here"
He half rose as he spoke, and to her
utter confusion the lady discovered
that his hand, instead of being in hEr
pocket was thrust into the pocket Of
his own ulster. The garment hung
down, so that his hand had pressed
against her purse without being in
contact with it, and she had been
holding him by the wrist with no APP
parent excuse whatever.
She was overcome with confusion,
but managed to say that she had
thought his hand to be in her pocket.
The stranger smiled and went out,
while a gentlemen near by leaned for
ward to say:
Don't you know who that is,
madam? That is Rev. DIR Blank"
The name was that of one of the
best-known clergymen in the city

GRANT AND SHERMAN.
Tho Silent Man Was Not Without
Ability to Say Bright Things.

| ADuity 10 Gay pTi8nt ''""so'
Like most silent men, General Grant
was littlegiven to witticisms. A writer
in the Chicago Tribune relates an
anecdote, however, which shows that
he was not without ability to say
bright things on occasion. Grant and
Sherman were discussing the plans Ut
a campaign, when a third general, n
hrigadier, entered the. tent--a good
soldier, but notorious for his careless
ness as to his personal appearance.
The brigadier finished his errand and
went out. General Grant pulled upon
| his cigar for u few minutes in silence,
and then said:
SHERMAN, wonder whom that
man gets to wear his shirts the first
week."
Grant and Sherman were diametri-
cally opposite in temperament, but
each believed fully in the other, and
their mutual confidence and affection
were never disturbed by any OF the
petty iealousies so distressinsly COM
! mon among army officers.
During the siege OF Vicksburg Grant
announced his determination tomove
to point below the town. All the
generals vigorously opposed the plan,
and Sherman in particular gave it as
his decided opinion that the move
ment would be fatal.
Grant had studied the situation
thoroughly, and was not to be shaken
in his resolve. At last Sherman drew
up formal protest, explained it's
contents to Grant, and asked him il
he had any objections to sending it to
General Halleck.
Certainly not, replied the man OF
few words.
Grants bold scheme was successful,
as all the world knows, and after the
capitulation of the city, he said to
Sherman:
"You remember that protest you
wished me to have sent to the War
Department."
Eyes" answered Sherman.
"Well, here it is, put it inmy peck
ct. thought any time would do.
III send it now, or you may have it,
Just as you wish"
Sherman took it. Grant never re-
ferred to the matter again, and the
circumstance was given publicity by
Sherman himself.

An Aneodote Of Daniel Webster.

Daniel Webster was once arguing a
case in which the validity OF will
was in controversy, the contest being
between the heirs of the testator and
a certain church. to which, it was con-
tended, the testator, unduly inhuen-
ced by it's clergyman, had in his last
hours devised most OF his property.
Webster claimed that the testat or
was then too feeble in mind to make
n valid will, and in the course of his
argument he related this incident-a
wealthy Spaniard, when on his death
bed, was visited by certain friar,
and in solemn form was thus interro-
gated: "Is it your last will and tesla
ment that your estate in Andalusia
shall begiven to Holy Mother Church?'
The dying man replied: Eyes" "Is it
your last will and testament" pro-
ceeded the friar, "that your estate in
CASTLE shall be given to Holy Mother
Church," The answer was: Eyes"
And thus the eager ecclesiastic went
on, until the testator's son, who was
standing by, anxious lest his dying
parent should will away his entire
property, angrily interposed: "Father,
is it your last will and testament that
l should take your gold-headed cane
and drive this friar out of the cham
berP YES" was the still affirmative
reply.

The knell Of a Broken Heart.

In the shops ofthe Cincinnati, Ham
ilton & Dayton Railroad, at HAM
ilton, Ohio, is cracked locomotive
bell that has n history. 1t was at
tached to q locomotive presided over
by strong, manly, handsome engin-
eer, whose great objects OF pride and
alteration were first his sweetheart
and then his faithful engine. He
loved them both devotedly, though,
of course in quite different ways.
One day at Hamilton he stood in cab
of the engine, bell rope in hand, ready
to move the lever and start the train,
when he saw bridal party APP
preaching. He glanced at the bride;
it was the girl lie loved. His heart
stopped beating, he gave q gican and
droppcd-dead. As he fell with hell
rope in his hand, he gave the bell n
loud ring that cracked it from top to
bottom, and it was found afterward
that lie had died literally OF n
broken heart. The bell in he shops
at Hamilton is still chilled "Thc bell of
the broken heart."--St. Louis Rcpub-

hut the Latter L. No Fool.
In instituting comparison between
the intelligence OF dog and an ele-;
plant Sir S. Baker decides in favor Of
the former. .'who. when the days
work is over lies down and sleeps be-
forc the fire at his masters feet and
dreams OF the dangers and exploits Of
the hunt" Sir. S. Baker seems to
have forgotten the old story In
Esop's Fables. where the horse was
jealous OF the dog and tried to ingra-
tiate itself with its master by initiating
its rivals habits OF fawning on its mas
ter and jumping on his lap. OF course
the horse Jared badly in the contrast.
And SO would the elephant II he were
to try to initiate the dog and curl
himself up at his masters feet before
the camp fire,
But Sir S. Baker himself acknowI-
edges that the elephant is instructed
and guided by the mahout In all that
he does. He writes thus: II do not
know more agreeable sensation than
the start in the early morning ON a
thoroughly dependable elephant with
mahout who takes real interest i'm
his work. A thorough harmony exists
between man and beast, and you feel
prepared for anything. But how much
depends upon that mahout! 1t is i'm
possible for bystander to comprehend
the secret signs which are mutually
understood by the elephant and his
guide-the elephant detects every
movement. however slight and is thus
mysteriously guided by its intelligence;
the mighty beast obeys the unseen
helm of thought, just as huge ship
yields, by apparent instinct, to the
rudder which directs her course i"
And he goes on to observes: What
must be the result should an elephant
be guided by mahout of uncertain
temperament The great trouble when
riding on an elephant is the difficulty
in getting the mahout to obey an order.
In tiger shooting the elephant will at
once detect anything like tremor on
the part of his 1mahout. Frequently a
good elephant may be disgraced by the
nervousness of his mahout nothing
being so contagious as fear" After
this testimony it seems reasonable to
think that the elephant is as much
superior in intelligence to the dog as
the mahout is to the elephant.

Women Horseback Riders.

Besides the roundness OF limb and
redundancy of health that city women
acquire from vigorous horseback rid
ing, they gain faculty for keeping
their balance while on their feet in
city conveyances. 1t is most desir-
able acquisition for the city woman,
whom we are accustomed to see tip
ping or staggering about in the street
cars when forced to stand. Sharp
eyed men who ride horseback know at
a glance when woman standing in a
street car is horse-woman. They
know it by the ease and sureness with
which she adjusts herself to the mo-
tions of the vehicle, and at the same
time preserves her feminine dignity.

He had some chickens OF which he
had made pets. He and his father
went to their work early in the morn
ing, and while the rest of the family
were away for the summer, it became
n question how the chickens were to
be fed with proper regularity.
The boy was equal to the occasion.
He took an alarm-clock, and fastened
it securely to one side OF the barn by
means of two spikes. Next he hung a
bucket OF corn to rafter, and con-
nected it with the clock by a stout
cord.
He wound up the alarm and set it ut
four o'clock. At that hour the alarm
went off, wound up the string, and
tipped over the bucket. And so the
chickens were fed by cIock-work.
