RefrigeratOrs.

There has been great improvement in re-
frigerators since they were first intro
duced. The old fashioned ice box lined
with charcoal or some other non-conductor
of heat was formerly all we had for keep
ing ice. BY improved methods a great
deal of the time and material has been
saved in the manufacture of refrigerators.
and a thoroughly trustworthy one may
now be purchased for ten dollars and up
ward. An ice box or ice chest, when the
ice is in the same compartment as the food,
Is not so expensive, and it keeps the food
colder, but there is greater waste of ice.
and it is a great deal more trouble to keep
clean.
Some of the best refrigerators are fur
nlshed with shelves of slate, and still
others are made with the entire compart-
ments where the food is kept lined with
stoneware. These are considerably more
expensive than a zinc lined refrigerator.
The smallest of those made with stone
ware compartments cost SIS. 1t seems as
If the food kept in them would be more
wholesome than that kept in zinc lined
refrigerator, which is so apt to have close,
stutfy odor, no matter how often it is
washed.-New York Tribune.

Guard for Street Railway Cars.

The advent of the cable and electric car
into street railway traffic, with their higher
speed of travel, has necessitated greater
care being taken against accidents to the
public, Among other things it has been
found that the guard hitherto employed
does not hang low enough to prevent a
PROSTATE person from being caught and
dragged over the pavement. An improved
guard has been invented, which is suspend
ed close to the track by means of vertical
arms depending from the car bottom The
point of the guard has a small junction
wheel lournaled SO as to engage the road
bed or cable track
The guard frame Is pressed downward
by bow springs bearing on each of its in
clined bars. Directly below each bar of
the guard is journaled roller which forms
the bottom of the guard, and these rollers
coming down to within an inch of the track
will not allow space for person to get be-
meath. Should car run against a pros
trate person the acute inclination will
brush him aside, the roller allowing of a
rotary motion, so that the subject of the
accident is rolled off with the least chance
of being bruised, which would not be pos
sible in the guards formerly used-New
York Commercial Advertiser.

TWILIGHT.

Oh, twilight hour Of faint and mystic Eght.
When shadows fall across the fading Land.
And long forgotten voices Of the past
Float back and chant like spirits OF tho night,
In voices sad and solemn. till at last,
Wsyering, they cease in the uncertain light
When mists along the water rise and drift
And hang upon the rimping wavelets clear,
In which the dark reflections OF the trees
Shadowy. indistinct and dim appear.
Like specters, TAN and gaunt, the cedar trees
Stand dark against the golden tinted sky,
Whilst from their topmost boughs the settling
crow
Utters its desolate and direful cry.
The undulating reeds sway TO the breeze
That DER them signs its plaintive wailing
note;
In the twilight hush like vespers soft it sounds,
As DER the tranquil water it doth float
Oh. silent hour, dreamlike and indistinct,
When long forgotten voices of the past
Return, and hold communion with the SOUL
Oh sad and sacred hour Of dying day,
Whose death the hallowed Angelus doth toll,
Kneel thou to silent night and his dread sway.

Thoroughly Fair Minded.

Some time ago one of St. Paul's promi-
nent dealers in musical instruments gave
an opening, embracing an attractive enter
tainment, to the public. The succeeding
day a young man, denominated in circus
patois as ''Reub," walked leisurely into
the establishment and said:

II warn't, though, but I kinder reck-

Couldn't yer manage to give away some

the same time resting his basilisk eye on
$3.50 upright piano.

The prospective customer walked in as

A plate of macaroons, jelly cake and

Big Skating Ponds.

In exceptionally cold winters Loeb Lo-
mond, in Scotland. being sufficiently shall
low, becomes so frozen over as TO bear
skaters and curriers', and it is TWEEN ty-four
miles long and four miles at its greatest
width. The largest pond soonest frozen
over. and Of the greatest area, is Fleet
pond, with an area of 800 acres, which will
accommodate from 10000 to 120, 900 skaters
with safety. The Serpentine has had over
5000 skaters on it at one time, while Did
dlngstone Loeb, near Edinburgh, sccommo-
dates 5000 when fully frozen over.
The lake of Zurich, which is about 600
feet deep, and covering about forty square
miles, has been OCCASIONALLY frozen over.
On Jan. 25, 1872, it had ice four inches
thick IN the center. The western parts of
the Baltic have been frozen on ten recorded
occasions, the first in 1874. the last in 1867.
Holland every year, when the frost is Sc

waters for skaters as no other country OF
Europe possesses. Tit-Bits.

InccrsCll on California


In recent magazine article. Mr.. Ernest
1ngersoll, the noted writer, says:
The climate of Southern California in
winter closely resem bles that OF Egypt.
Its equability is constant, and its dryness
is prOverbal. The only complaint made is
that it is too nearly perfect. Residents
bred in the eastern states confess now aud
then that a rousing storm would give them
a grateful sensation. But this sentiment
meets Wi b no favor from the man who has
just fed from superfuity of wetness and
chilling gales. To him perpetual summer
seems perpetual paradise. and TO the in
valid dreading tie advance of disease. the
still. arid atmosphere is as the breath of
life"
The most comfortable way TO reach the
Pacific coast is via Santa Fe Route.
