Jersey. 1t is an important invention
because it will not only minimize the
destruction of food. but will have a
large bearing upon the Ice business. and
at less cost and trouble will preserve
meats, foods and all arti les subject to
decay more satisfactorily than ice.
The little machine that will accom-
plish all this has been in process of
construction for six years past, and the
principle which underlies its discovery
he has made profound study for
nearly a quarter of a century.
A number OF capitalists of New York
city and Chicago, after the most
thorough investigation of the inven-
ton and its achievement, have become
wholly satisfied that it will not only
accomplish all that its inventor claims
Tor il but that it is one of the greatest
mechanical triumphs of the dav al d

the liberal cabinet of Sagasta, which,
in turn, did not oppose them at the
general elections, and the POSSIBLE
ists,". as Castelar's partisans are called,
secured sixteen seats in the Chamber
of Deputies and ten in the Senate.
Two of thsm-Senor Almagro in the
Chamber and SeIor Abarzuza in the
Senate declared that the Possibilists
would not refuse their support to the
actual Liberal Cabinet Like their
leader, Castelar's political friends be-
heve that under universal suffrage il
is contrary to true Democratic princi-
pals to profess the systematic opposi-
ton of the "Intrans geantes, an OPP
position which too often abandons
legal grounds and launches itself into
the field of useless and dangerous con-
Spiracies. The great ST. anish patriot
has rea affirmed this political creed in
his last 81 eech just as he had already
asserted IL in the semi-monthly arti-
cles which he has furnished for a few
months to the Nouvelle Revue Interna-
tionale, published at Paris by the cele-
brated cosmopolitan writer, Nine. de
Lutte, the widow of Ra ri, the great
Italian prime minister.

National HOLIDAYS.

No other country approaches ours in
holiday observance OF national events;
but even more significant is the fact
that we have no less than four Holt
days, each OF which is in itself ois-
tinct lesson in national patriotism and
character.
independence day, the ffth of our
national holidays, around which all
our holidays cluster, has lost none of
its meaning in the lapse of years. II
nowadays there is less of the excited
and demonstrative observance which
marked its celebration twenty FIVE or
fifty years ago, IL is not because the
American people have outgrown their
old feeling of patriotism, but because
a more serious and deep-seated convic.
ton has replaced IL.

secured patents in this and the princi-

parent company for the manufacture
of the new cold storage device in

very reasonable and that there will be
great saving for the customers S

machine for ordinary household use
may be rented at one-half the present
cost of ice, and the large machines
may be rented for Cne-quarter of the
present cost. The larger the ma

will always be saving in cost, to saw
nothing of saving in trouble, in the
use of the domestic cold storage

able produce in fine condition for days
by the use OF this cold storage machine,
which in his case can be operated by a
connection with his windmill. The
cold storage can be regulated with as
much nicely as the use of gas is repu-
lated. Turning off the water is a stop
page of the power. This will stop the
cold storage. Turning on the water
will at once start the machine, and in
an incredibly short time the necessary
cold storage is ready. The machine Is
automatic In its movements and will

the words, AN Appeal to Heaven"
In October, 1875, the floating batteries
Of Boston carried flag with the
motto. An Appeal 10 Heaven the
design being "A pine tree on white

airy ~, i716, that the & and union flag,
bearing stars and st ipes. was raised
on the height, near Boston. 1t has
been said that when the regulars
British troopS-saw il. they supposed
il was an evidence of Submission TO
the King, who had just issued his
proclamation.
An extract from the British Register
of l57G reads thus: The releis burnt

flag with thirteen stripes, as symbol
OF the number and union of the coll
onies." letter written from Boston

says: The union flag was raised on
the sec, nd, a compliment to the united
colonies.

pine tree and the stripes. the various
designs Of the different colonies--un-
Ill July, I777, when the b ne union of
the stars was added to the stripes. and
the law adopted this flag as the great
national emblem. After the adoption
of this flag a stripe was added with
every new State: but, as il became
manifest that in time the beauty of
the Emblem would be marred by the
enormous proportions acquired by adj
ditional States, Congress reduced the
strips to the original thirteen, and the
stars were made TO corrcsI ond with
the number of States.
Perhaps no flag on sea or land shows

the width and square of the first seven
stripes.
The Continental Congress appointed
. committee to supervise the union of
the different parts of the National
flag, and the following description of
their design and significance was pre-
pared:
The stars of the new flag represent
the new constellation of States rising
in the West. The idea was taken from
the great constellation of Lyra, which
in the land Of Orpheus signifies har-
mony. The blue in the field was taken
from the edges of the Covenanters
banner in Scotland, significant of the
league covenant of the United States
against oppression, incidentally in
volving the virtues OF vigilance, per-
severance, and justice. The stars were

Greek Women OF To-day.

For centuries we have been taught
to look upon The Grecian typ. of beauty
as the ideal of all loneliness. To tell a
woman that her nose or left ear or
right eyebrow was pure Greek was the
highest comp iment one could pay her.
Now comes an iconoclast traveller to
declare that the Grecian woman is
short, broId and stout, with pale,
creamy skin, dark hair and beautiful
eyes, features fairly regular. but not
classical. The prevailing impressiCn
that she leaves upon the Englishman is
that she has squat figure; for the
women OF Greece destroy their figure,
on account of the sedentlry lives they
live. 1t is the custom OF the country
for women to remain in the privacy of
their homes, a casual traveller cat ching
only an occasional glimpse OF them
at the upper windows of some priv
ate dwelling or shop. In rural Greece
the women take a more active part
in everyday life and work in the
fields, with their wells hanging loosely
over their heads, ready TO he folded

for domestic use those who knew OF
the many futile attempts in that line
laughed at him, but he persevered and
he Won. The average house box, cooled
by the ordinary ice process, never falls
below forty-tive to fifty degrees. The
domestic cold storage machine has OBJ
tanned temperature of twelve degrees
below the freezing point.
With the Domestic cold-storage ma
chine in general use it will make little
difference to the housekeeper whether
the winters are open or cold; whether
the ice man puts his prices up or down;
whether he comes early or late: or, in.
deed, whether or not he comes at all.
For with this machine in use the ice
man will be simply reminiscenoe-
one who for years had the clearly and
economical housekeeper at his mercy,
