Little Difference in Melting Properties.

Little Difference in Melting Properties
The manufacture of Ice and its market
ing at prices which In many regions easily
compete with those Of the natural product
have simplifsd this phase Of tho water
question In tho most marked way. Other
things being equal, whether the house
holder decides TO use the natural or the
artificial ice will depend much upon the
climate OF his home and the market price
of the Zoe. The natural ice is just as good
as the artificial when 1t comes from pure
sources. II Is claimed by some that the
natural ice nelts more slowly than the
artificial and In this way, other things be-
ing equal, is cheaper. But similar claims
are made for the artificial Ice. The writer

A story comes from The Hague

of humor. although Of truly feminine
kind.
Her English governess Miss Winter,
had set her TO draw a map of Europe
as a punishment for some misbehayior
even little queens are punished
when they misbehave.
The little lady drew the map very
neatly, but when she handed it to Miss
Winter the latter perceived. greatly to
her amusement, that the British
Islands had been put in on a very
much reduced scale, so much so that
they appeared to be one-quarter the
