A wet pig pen in winter is a difficulty
which many farmers dread, and there
is loss in weight of the pigs when the
pen is not dry. Make strong floor Of
poles, and have the floor raised above
the level of the ground surface, Upon
the poles put foot or two of straw
and leaves, adding more leaves to the
litter daily. In short time the litter
will be well packed down on the poles,
making an excellent pen, which will lie
always dry, as the space between the
poles OF the floor viii permit the water
from rains TO flow through

HOW PARIS GOWNS ARE DESIGNED.

When the great Paris designers cater
to tho caprice Of careful dressers of
taste and artistic instinct they make
up doll figure, fashioned rs near the
outline of the woman they are design
ing for MS possible, and with the same
proportions and coloring. On this
replica in miniature they actually
make the dress, complete and perfect
in every detail. Then my lady fair
comes in and criticiaes the result,
suggests change here and alteration
there, possibly rejects the whole de-
sign, and another is mnde to suit her
fancy. Then when the gown comes
home there is no Observation-Disclosures
or disappointments. Foreign women,
who have the reputation of being more
careful and exact dressers than we,
because they have much less mony to
spend on dresses than American wo-
men squander, insist on seeing the
perfect design. The American, with
implicit faith that every Partisan must
be right, accepts what The gods of the
modes provide with no murmur or
criticism, and thus we earn the repu-
tation of lack individuality in dress

about dozen ruffles, all of the same
width, sewed to n narrow ribbon,

p. A. Older, who at ono time was pro-
prietor of "the greatest show on
earth" He had been Barnum's pnrt-

invested $5O0,0O0 in circus of his
own. Unfortunately the yellow fever
broke out while he was exhibiting near
New Orleans in 1872, and he was
quarnntined at Seasport for four
months, with bills of $4,000 day to
pay and no spectators to supply re-
ceipts. When the quarantine was
raised Older was bankrupt and fortune
has never since smiled on him. At
present he is proprietor of small

Making Ice In Blocks to Shit.

The Northwest has invented new
plan for making ice. The maker takes
n water can, fills it with water and sets
it out of doors when the weather is
freezing. AS soon as enough leo il
formed at the sides and ends to hold
the remaining water the can is set by
the fire until the ice is loosened. The
cake is then lifted out into the open
air, where it is left to finish freezing.
The advantages of the method are
threefold; water will freeze at high
err temperature in small than in large
bodies, pure water can beused and the
cakes made be made of almost any size
or shape! Kate Fields Washington,

ArL OF Calico prlntInr.

Tho art of calico printing was intro
duced into Europe about tho Seven
teenth Century, although it is believed
to have been known in Indin and Egypt
ms carly as the First and Second Cen
turtles. In this early period tho print
ing wns done by means of blocks, on
which the designs to be transferred to
the cloth had been engraved in relief.
These were dipped into dye stuff and
then pressed upon tho material by
hand. Later, presses for this block
printing were invented, and tho Use of
several was introduced, 30 engraved MS
to fill mp each others vacancies, and
thus several colors wcro put into tho
pattern. About ITO copper plato
printing was invented in England. BY
this method tho design was cut into
plates, the color filed into tho sunken
parts of the engraving, and the cloths
were printed by hoing pressed upon it.
This invention finally led to tho intro.
duction of cylinder printing, tho
method now in use. The cylinders aro
of copper, and the design il engraved
upon their surface. A separate cylin-
der is required for each color or shadc
of color to be used in printing tho
cloth, and in fine and intricate designs
as many as twenty cylinders arc some
times used. These arc set in n strong
frame against the face of largo CEN
trial drum made of iron and covered
with WOODEN cloth in several folds, be-
tween which and the cylinders the
calico is printed MS 4 passes. Tho
color is spread upon tho cylinders MS
they revolve by contact with another
roller, which dips into trough con-
tanning the coloring matter properly
thickened. This roller is made of IN
absorbent, elastic material, similar to
tho roller used in mixing printing
press. Each cylinder thus receives it's
proper color and imparts it in revolv-
ing to the calico, pressed between it's
face and that of the. fixed drum. A
sharp blade of metal pressing against
tho copper cylinder removes MI super
fluous matter from its surface, so that
only the design cut in tho metal is i'm
printed in clear outline upon the cloth.
The employment of number of rollers
to make one design is attended with
much difficulty, as in passing under
them the cloth is in much danger of
being displaced and the regularity Of
the print destroyed. AS tho cloth
leaves the printing machine it is drawn
over rollers through hot mir cham
Der, by which it is thoroughly dried
and the colors become fully ot.-New
