When ice bags are ordered, the best way
to break the ice for them is to wrap a large

be continued while life lasts.

The 60. hambermaid TreatE ent. .,

The queen of Sweden is undergoing pecu-
liar treatment to restore her nerves to a
normal condition. Her doctors have ordered
her to rise early, make her own bed and dust
and sweep the room. She has to take walk
in the garden before breakfast, work among
the flowers afterwards and lead an active
outdoor existence all day long. Already the
queen has been benefited by this curious
"cure," the 'chambermaid treatment" as it
is called. The same mode of life might ben
eft any woman in this country who has lost
her grip on her nerves. That tired feelingn
the advertisements speak Of will succumb
after time to a course in bed making and
busting. York World

An Onxx Vein in the oznrks.

Large deposits of onyx have been
found in the Ozark mountains, only a
short distance from St. Louis. The
only onyx in the market has hitherto
come from Puebla, Mexico, 50 the dis
cOvery of this new vein is of consider
able commercial Importance. Onyx
is very valuable, selling for from
three dollars to fifteen dollars per
cubic foot, the buyer taking the risk
of possible flaws below the surface.
In mining it no powder can be used, so
holes are drilled in rows and wooden
plugs inserted. These are then caused
to swell by soaking in warm water, and
a solid mass of the desired size is thus
separated without danger. The onyx
is reached through a wide mouthed
cave in the mountain side, 50 it can be
marketed at very slight expense.-New
