Economical Use OF Artificial Ice.

One of the newest plans for the
economical use of artificial ice has re-
Gently been patented by Van der
Weyde, of Holland The invention is
based on the fact that two smooth sur
faces of freshly cut ice when brought
into contact at temperature below
thirty-two degrees will unite firmly.
At higher temperature the junction
yields to Il blow, and the ice breaks
into the original parts. Van der
Weyde casts blocks of ice into small
cubes, which are stamped with trade
mark. These cubes are joined into a
larger cube of any desired weight and
sent cut for use. The mark is a guar
antee that the ice is pure, and the
small cubes, weighing an ounce each,
are easily separated into shape con.
venient for use. New York Tribune

TO PUT AWAY wooLEN GARMENTS.

If the housewife is a good hygienist,
she has a great deal of wool in her
domain, because she knows better
than tongue can tell how necessary
all wool garments are to the preserva-
ton of health in cold weather. She
roligiously superintends the making,
washing and mending of these gar
ments in all sizes, from those worn by
paterfamilias to the miniature ones af.
fected by the baby, and when the time
of year comes to put them away, she
neatly darns even the very tiniest
holes, folds the garments smoothly,
and envelops them entirely in cotton
cloth which she snugly ties with string.
These tidy rolls or bundles are then
laid in trunk or chest, which is care
fully closed away from dust. Two or
three times during the summer the
wools are taken out and hung out in
the air, after which they are carefully
returned to their cotton w-apri2gs
again. Detroit Free Press.

"There has been great deal of stuff
and nonsense written about hypno-
tism, as if it were something very alb
struse," said an Arch street physician.
'In fact, it is an everyday phase of
mental abstraction. Any one NAV
hypnotize himself in few minutes by
closing his eyes, directing them in
ward and downward, and then, imag-
lining his breath to be vapor, watch
ing its inhalation and expulsion from
the nostrils. Babies invariably look
cross-eyed before going to sleep, in
this way producing what hypnotists
call translation Fishermen often
hypnotic themselves watching a cork
on "a surface of shining water. An hour
passes as if it were few minutes. -

POLISHING STEEL AND BRASS.

Fine emery paper and sweet oil are
all that are necessary to keep steel
bright while cloth saturated in kerr
osene and dipped in whiting will be
found best for cleaning tinware.
Strong ammonia should be poured over
old brass to clean it, then thoroughly
scrub with scrubbing brush, and
presently the brass will shine like new
metal. Stair rods should be cleaned
with soft wooden cloth dipped in
water, and then in finely sifted coal
ashes. Then rub them with dry
flannel until they shine and every
particle of ash has disappeared.

A Thlrty-four Year Old Letter.

'It is an exceedingly rare thing
nowadays in any civilized country

TO STIR OR To BEAT.

Every young housekeeper should
thoroughly understand the difference
between stirring and beating. Many
dishes are spoiled because these
things are not clearly understood. In
stirring the object is to combine the
ingredients or to make substance
smooth. The spoon is kept rather
close to the bottom and sides of the
bowl and is worked around and around
in the mixture until the object is at
tanned.
Beating is employed for two pur.
poses First, to break up substance,
as in beating eggs for breading or for
custards; second, for making sub.
stance light by imprisoning air in it.
This is the case when we beat the
whites of eggs, cake batter, etc. The
movement is very different from stir
ring. The spoon or whisk at every
stroke is partially lifted from the
bowl and brings with it portion of
the materials that are being beaten,
which carries air with it in falling
back.
1t is not the number of strokes that
make substances light, but rather tho
vigor and rapidity with which the
beating is done. When using spoon
or whisk for beating take long up
ward strokes, the more rapid the bet.
ter. The spoon should touch the bot
tom of the bowl each time and the mo-
tion must be regular.
Another way to beat is to use tho
circular motion, in case the side of the
spoon is kept close to the side of the
bowl. The spoon is moved rapidly in
circle, carrying with it portion OF
the ingredients New York World.

train approached, he suddenly took
oil the hat, waved it, jammed his spurs
into his wiry little bronco, and
started to race with the train, yelling
at the top of his lungs. At the end
OF quarter-mile or so, he slowed up,
drew his revolver, and fired parting
salute into the air, accompanying the
volley with more wild howls.
