We would like to look into the pleasant
face of some one who never had any derange-
ment of the digestive organs. We see the
drawn and unhappy faces of the dyspeptics
in every walk of life. 1t is our national dis
ease, and nearly all complaints spring from
thi s source. Remove the stomach difficulty
and the work is done.
Dyspeptics and pale, thin people are liter
ally starving, because they don't digest their
food. Consumption never develops in people
of robust and normal digestion. Correct the
wasting and loss OF flesh and we cure the dis
ease. Do this with food. The Shaker Diges-
tive Cordial contains already digested food

A woman has no more natural gift
more bewitching than sweet laugh.
1t is like the sound of flutes on the
water. 1t leaps from her in a clear
sparkling rill; and the heart that
hears it feels as if bathed in the cool
exhiIarating spring. Have you ever
pursued an unseen fugitive through
trees, led on by a fairy laugh, now
there, now lost, now found. Some
times it comes to us in the midst of
care and sorrow, or irksome business,
and then we turn away the evil spirit
of mind. How much we owe to that
sweet laugh! 1t turns prose to poetry;
it filings sunshine to the flowers, over
the darkness of the wood which we
are travelling; it touches with light
even our sleep, but is consumed with
dreams, that are the shadows of i'm
mortality.

In building an ice house the chief
points to be considered are the ex-
clusion of air from under or around
the body of ice, proper ventilation
over the ice, proper surface drainage
around the house and sufficient
spo uting to catch and carry away the
drip of the roof. Any little crack
that admits of the inflow of warm air
plays havoc with body of ice. Hence
waterproof paper should interline the
walls SO as to exclude every possible
chance for the admission of air, BY
a broken line of conductivty / meant
perfect dead air space, the space
ex tending from sill to plate and the
corners. So that if the house is con-
structed by making twin walls, they
should not touch except at the top
and bottom. Any one who cannot
appreciate the Importance of this
fact may have his doubts removed by
laying one end of a scantling on the
leo and then allowing the other end
to stick through the wall into the
air. If there be too much sawdust
placed around ice it is liable to fer
ment and develop heat to such an ex-
tent as to melt the ice. Many a nov
ice in putting up ice has lost his crop
in this way. Fourteen inches of saw
dust or chaff is sufficient to place un-
der the ice and eight at the sides, in
case of triple sides no sawdust is re-
quired except at the top and bottom.
