Where ice is a scarce commodity various
expedIents may be adopted for keeping
provisions fresh and for cooling water, etc.
Every one knows how much cooler water
may be made by putting it into a stone
bottle, hanging it to a string and twirling
il around. wetting the bottle from time to
time with a spray from the watering-pot.
A good way of keeping butter or milk cool
in hot weather without ice is to fill a box
with sand to within an inch or two of the
top. to sink the milk or butter In Jars in
the sand and to thoroughly wet it and keep
the box In the cellar.

DAILY, SUNDAY And WEEKLY.

The Journal ia first of all q newspaper.
Its primary object is to publish the news
and to secure this it spares no pains or
expense. Besides the service of two
great news agencies, which cover foreign
countries as well as the entire United
States, it has a corps of Special Cor
events and occurrences that are likely
to be OF particular interest to the Indi-
ana public. Its. Washington bureau
was established for the purpose of look
ing after matters in which the State and
it's people are concerned, and is under
the management of an Indiana man
well acquainted with the local business
and political issues. 1t has a corre-
spOndent in every town of Importance
in the State. and is constantly increas-
ing its facilities for obtaining informa-
ton from every quarter. Its staff OF
city reporters is large. and it's local de-
partments are unexcelled. As a news
paper it is far better equipped han any
other in the State, and welcomes COM.
~parison with its contemporaries in any
and all of its departments. With all it
endeavors to be ~accurate and trust
worthy, printing tho news, whatsveri it
may be. without personal or partisan
bias.
But while the Journal is non-partisau
as to news, it is a Republican paper. and
sets forth Republican principles. Its
important that the people shall read the
truth about these principles, and it was
with the object of putting everybody in
the way of doing SO that the price of the

Breaking on the wheel was a mole OF
capital punishment, said to have been

century. According to the German
method of this execution, the criminal

Sounds of Animals.

An ape produces an exact octave of
musical sounds, ascending and descend
ing the scale by half tones; so that, per-
haps, it alone of brute animals maj be
said to sing.
The bowling or preaching monkey of
South America has a voice that can be
heard for two miles.
The giraffe and armadillo are voiceless,
with no vocal chords. TIE chirp of the
long.eared bat is said to be tde most
acute sound produced By any animal, and
only five out of six persons can hear it.
In reptiles the larynx is in a rudimentary
condition. The crocodiles and caymen
make a feeble, roaring sound, says
brakes Magazine.
One kind of frog has a sound bag,
vidently acting as a resonance chamber,
on each side of his mouth. The tortoise
gives a mere snuiiiing sound.
Snakes have no vocal chords, but pro-
duce a Kissing, by expulsion of air
through the narrow openln in the glot-
tbs. Most fishes are mute.
Insects, such as cric&ets, grasshoppers
and bees, have been considered more
musicians than singers, most Of their
sound being caused by friction of their
wings or legs together, or, against their
body. or by vibration of their wings. A
grasshopper of Brazil may be heard half
a mile, which is as if a maa with a biz
voice could be heard over the world.

CLEANING WINDOWS.

Cleaning windows is an important part
of the work in the routine of housekeep-
ing, and while it does not seem a difficult
task to keep the glass clear aud bright,
it nevertheless requires a knowledge of
what not to do. Never wash windows
when the sun is shining upon them,
otherwise they will be cloudy and
streaky from drying before they are well
polished off; and never wash the out
side of the window first if you wish to
save trouble. Dust the glass and sash
and wash the window inside, using a lit
tie ammonia in the water, wipe with a
cloth free from lint, and polish off with
soft paper. For the corners, a small
brush or pointed stioe oovorod with oLu
aud of the brush is useful. When you
CONF to the glass outside, the defects re-
naming will be more closely seen.
Wipe the paues as soon as possible after
washing and rinsing, and polish with
either chanois or soft paper. In rinsing,
one may dash the water on the outside OF
use a large sponge. 1t is preferable to a
cloth.-Boston Cultivator.

Some interesting observations re-.
lating to the surgical treatment of
wounds by birds were recently brought
by NJ. Fatio before the Physical So
riety Of Geneva. According to the
Medical Review, he quoted the case
Of a snipo which he had often OBJ
served engaged in repairing damages.
With its beak and feathers it makes
I very creditable dressing, applying
plasters 10 bleeding wounds, and even
securing a broken limb by means Of a
stout ~ligatuic. On one occasion he
killed a snipe which had on the chest
a large dressing composed OF down
taken from other parts OF the body
and securely fixed to the wound by
the ccaqulated blood. Twice he had
brought home suipe with interviewer
feathers strapped on the site of frac-
ture of one or other limb.

A COMFORTABLE SOFA PILLOW

A most practical pillow for a lounge
in a living room, where it must serve for
both use and beauty, can be made in the
following manner, says Mrs. Walsh IN
the Housewife.
Procure one yard of art linen eighteen
inches wide, a feather pillow about half
a yard square, half a yard of gold-col-
jored China silk, one yard wide of fine
white cotton, two yards of white silk
facing cord and wash silk enough to
work the design. Hemstitch the sides
of the linen with al inch hem aud have
it stamped in some conventional design
of a rather large pattern aud work this
in outline stitch in wash silk of two col
o1s (the one described in white and gold),
embroidering them according to ones
own taste; then sew the ends Of the
linen together IN the wrong side; be-
ginning about four inches from the sean,
work four eyelet holes about four inches
apart in the hens, then skip eight
inches, and do four more, bringing
them within about four inches of the
.ame of the other side. Cover the tick
ing of the pillow with the white cotton
cloth, cut the gold-coloFed silk in half
mud puff it across to opposite ends of
the pillow, fastening it about two inches
in from the edge; slip the linen over
this and lace it together across the puffs
with the white silk cord, so when the
linen part is soiled it can be removed and

THE RUBBER OF COMMERCE.
How 1t Is Gathered and Prepared for the
Markets OF the World.

Markets OF the World.
Central and South America supply the
bulk of the crude rubber shipped to the
various markets of the world. Brazil
especially is the territory upon which
the commercial world relies, ant
throughout the entire Amazon regioI
are many valuable rubber swamps. Tn
fortunately the reckless manner ir
which the trees are tapped tends TO de.
stroy their vitality and fears are wet
grounded that the rubber product viii
Don be restricted 10 half of what 1t is al
present. The trees are tapped by gashes
being cut in The bark by hatchets. Ii
the cut penetrates the wood the tree /:
doomed to die. otherwise ii will continue
yielding for thirty or forty years.
Through the reeklessness of the natives
in tapping the trees many valuable rub
Der swamps have been partially ruined
snd the same -extrHvagant system is
being introduced into new regions.
The rubber trees Of the Amazon val
ley grow spontaneously and need no
care. As many as 537 will flourish on
an acre. In yield fifteen kilos of
ubber can be extracted from them
daily for four or FIVE nonths-an average
Of between $500 and $500. When the

vessel. This. whom collected in large
quantities, is coagulated. For this
purpose the rubber gatherer has a Jug
shaped furnace, made of earthenware,
called a boiao, open at the bottom and
top, and with a small aperture at the
side to admit the air for the combustion.
In this piece Of furniture he builds a
fire. The dense black smoke which
rolls from the open top of the boiao is
the re-agsnt which coaguIates the milk.
For this purpose the rubber gatherer
has a circular-bladed paddle, like the
paddle OF a canoe, which he smears
over with clay so that the rubber will
not adhere to it. This is suspended by
means of n cord from the limb of a tree
Just above the suudge. The milk is
poured over the tllde Of the paddle,
which Is then turned over and round
about in the smoke, and in a few mo-
nents the film of rubber is c~oagulated.
The came process is repeated of wetting
with milk and SMOKING the growing
lump nntil it reaches the weight of from
five to twenty-five kilos or more. Then
1t IS slipped off from the paddle as a
mitten is pulled off from ones hand.

A Battle Amid Flames.

Here is a remarkable account of a bat
tie fought in the flames; When a battle
is fought in summer it often happens
that the ripe corr is set on fire 10y shells
and gun wadding; but in no battle of
the Empire did this occur on such a
scale as at Wagram. The season was
early and the weather hot; the battle.
field was completely coyerel with crops
ready for harvest, which caught quickly
and carried the fire with terrific rapidity.
The movements of both armies were
hampercd by the necessity of avoiding it;
for if once troops were overtaken by it,
pouches and wagons exploded, carrying
destruction through the ranks. Whole
regiments might be seen fastening out
of the way of the fire and taking up
their position where the corn had been
burned already; but this means of
escape was only open to the able bodied.
of the soldiers who were severely
wounded great numbers persisted in the
flames; and of those whom the fire did
not reach, many lay for DAYS hi den by
the tall corn, living during that time on
the ears. The Emperor had the plains
searched by bands of cavalry, and
vehicles were brought from Vienna to
remove the wounded, friends and foes
alike. But few of those over whom the
fire had passed recovered, and the SOL
diers had u saying that straw-6re had
killed nearly as many as gun-ire, New

lie Had $3.50 Suckers.

Mr.. E lwarls, the taxidermist, has re
ceiYe1 a large octopus, which was captured
of Old Town by some fishermen. The
creature weighed over sixty pounds, and
had arms three feet eight inches in
length. On each of its eight tentacles
or arms there were 800 suckers, making
a grand total of 1850. The octopus had
attached itself to a fish hooked on a
trawl, and was drawn up with it. The
same firm has also received a young al.
bino deer. a buck, snot on Nindby
Island. 1t has two-pronged horns, and
is supposed to be about two years old.
The natural color for a fawn is brown,
with white spots, but the color IT this
on is white with brown spots. A doe
was shot on the island some time ago, SO
that it is thouy ht that there must be al
bino hood in the der oa the island.
The doe was secured by Mr.. Edwards
some time ago and now the pair are to
be exhibited in some of the shop win
dows down town. The deer skins are
comparatively easy to preserve, but nc
better means of preserving the devil fish
has been found as yet than keeping them
in alcohol. This Is on account of their
having no bones and because of theil
shrinking and shriyeling as most forms
of deep water marine life do.-Tacoma
