Artificial il. A.a..l.~.

Notwithstanding t,i.t iaiiCcisl re-.
frigeration has So largely taken the
place Of ice, it is often desirable, even
In small plants, to make some ice for
table and other purposes. la hotels
and restaurants this is particularly true,
and nothing but the poor results that
have been obtained in the past has pre-
vented this from being done more extern
sively.
The old method was to put common
filtered hydrant water into cans and
freeze it into white, unattractive ice,
nseful only for cooling purposes, and
hardly suitable for the table. DistilIinp
and purifying apparatus is found neoes.
sary to make acceptable ice by this proc
ess, and the manifold duties of the on.
Grating engineer usually prevent the
giving OF proper care and attention TO
the various purifying devices, with the
result that the quality of the product is
quite inferior
There is now developed, however, a
practical method Of making ice in large
or small quantities on the "plate sys.
tem,' freezing outwardly from the re.
frigerating coils. excluding impurities
into the residual water, circulating this
water by means of circulating pump
through filters TO remove air and i'm.
purities, giving clean, pure crystal ice
from water Of almost any reasonably
good quality. The ice is then harvested
by steam cutter, which pushes it's
square nose down in the tank and cuts
off slab of ice whenever required. A
tank of this character, added to re-
frigerating plant, is most useful and
profitable adjunct, especially consider
ing that the high quality of the product
is chiefly function of the method
rather than the skill of operation. w.

Max Muller's Father,

My father belonged to the post G oethe
period, though Goethe (died 1897 sur
vived him. He was born in 1894, and
died in 1897, and yet in that short life
he established lasting reputation not
only as a scholar, but as q most popu-
lar poet His best known poems are the
"Grieehenlieder, the Greek songs
which he wrote during the Greek war
Of independence These Greek songs, in
which his love of the ancient Greeks is
mingled with his admiration for heroes
such as Kanaris, Marcos Bozzaris and
others who helped to shake off the
Turkish yoke, produced deep impress

they breathed the spirit of freedom and

inns In Hungary.

Wayside inns in Hungary generally
rejoice in very quaint titles This one
was called the Dropperin, and had the
usual sign outside-viz, long pole,
with wooden ring and gigantic wine
bottle suspended from it. The system Of
keeping the scores is primitive, but
practical. The regular customers and
the innkeeper each have bit of wood
called rovas, with the name of the
person written on it. and every liter of
wine consumed is marked by each max.
ing notch on his respective bit of
wood. When the score is paid off, both
the rovas are burned. Consequently you
bear the peasants inviting each other to
ingyonroviasmora, literally, drink ON
my "knotch stick" which sounds most
comicaI.-- Ellen Browning in evan

GRANTS NAME.
How He Came to Adopt "U. s." as HI
Initials.

~ -NNDBp - ''' az tHtH
Initials.
Up to the start for West Point, Grant
had been Riram Ulysses, or II. Ulysses
Grant. The young traveller required a
trunk, ana Thomas Walker, local
genius, was the man to mako it. He
did so, and, to finish it off. he traced on
the cover IN big brass tacks tho initials
"H. U. G." James Marshall, Ulysses
cousin, went to help him carry the new
trunk home. Ulysses looked at the big,
glaring letters. 81 won't have that SO, -
he said. "It spells hug The boys
would plague me about it, And he
thereupon shifted his middle name and
became Ulysses II. Grant, and so he
went forth into the world.
He registered at Roe's hotel, West
Point, on the goth Of May, as ~. H.
Grant, and the same day reported to
the adjutant, George G.. Waggaman,
deposited $48 and signed his name
Ulysses Hiram Grant. His name as re-
ported from Washington, however, was
U. s. Grant. and the error arose in this
way: Tho Hon. Thomas Hamer received
the letter Of Jesse Grant only the day
before the close Of his term, and, being
much hurried, sat down at once and
wrote to Secretary Of War Poinsett, ask.
ing for the appointment of his neighbor 3
son. He knew the hoy's name to be
Ulysses, and, inferring that his middle
name was Simpson, so filled in the ap-
plication, and thus IL stood when Ulysses
faced the adjutant
lie asked to have it changed, but was
told it was impossible without the con-
sent OF the secretary of war
"Very WELL" he said. 81 came here
to enter the military academy, and en-
ter shall. An initial more or less does
not matter" He was known to the gov
ernment thereafter as U. S. Grant. -

Unappreciatiye.

A lady passenger in Great Western
train in England was much disturbed
in her attempts at nap by some one
singing in the next compartment, so she
asked the guard to interfere. That Off
oial did so and got laughed at for his
pains, and the singing went on. AT the
next station the lady sent for the sta
tion master and requested him to suc-
ceed where the guard had failed. The
station master went to the next com
partment, and immediately returned to
apologize. 81 am very sorry, madam, :"

Car Searchers.

'"There is class of people" says a
railroad man, "who are always last to
leave the cars-for purpose. This is
especially noticed on suburban trains.
They go from one end of the train to the
other, looking in seats ON both sides of
the car. 1t is impossible for our men to
be always on the watch. and presumably
there are mary losses that can never be

Deer In London.

Deer thrive and multiply in London.
A year or two ago few of these ami.
mails were presented to the county coun-
Gil with a request that they should be
kept in Clissold park. So quickly did
the deer multiply that it was presently
found possible to transfer number of
them to Victoria park, and further
thinning out has been found necessary.

important Change.

On April 1st we will turn over
new leaf and make an important
change in the manner of conducting
our business.
Commencing on and after April
-1st, all goods will be sold for CASH
ONLY.
We have for some time past care
fully considered this plan. We have
weighed the advantages; also the
disadvantages, and we believe it is a
step in the right direction and in
harmony with modern merchandise
ing and low, popular prices.
1t will benefit both the buyer and
seller.
1t will enable us to make very
low prices.
We expect to sell so cheap that
parties will have no reason to send
out of town for any goods we carry.
The spot cash, low price system of
doing business is fast supplanting
the old longtime high priced system
and we are anxious to test the matter
and demonstrate whether the buying
public will support first class cash
store.
The 1st Of April We Adopt a
Strictly Cash System.
For the present we quote few
special, spot cash prices:
Package coffee. .... zoe worth 25c
Five lbs. lard go. ..55c Csc
Ten " ......$1.00 "$125
Twenty lbs. lard. :. 100 2.50
Rex Flour. :. 300 3.75
