ETIQUETTE.

There is an etiquette about every
thing, even about the way a woman
ought to write her notes. Consider
ing all things, it is perhaps as well
that woman should read, mark aud in
wardly digest the laws that ought to
rule her conduct when she 5 takes up
the pen.n Two things, above all
others, betFsy the inelegant or un-
accustomed letter writer. Fl she be
guilty of neglecting the margin at each
side of her page, or if she SO far for
get her precepts as to add P. :. she
is forever doomed. Society is exact in
details, and society declares sneh omis-
sion or commission to be the unpard-
onable sin. The note, to be correct,
must be writtea upon paper of medium
size, preferably cream white, and
mustbe clear and distinct. The mono-
gram is stamped on the paper, or the
crest if one have the right; but upon
the inside of the fapof the envelope
must be the address. When the writer
has borne all these facts in mmd, and
has signed her nuabbrevia,ed name,
she may rest content.

TID-BITs.

The woman who insists upon clean.
ing up mans desk ought to be made
to marry man who won't stay out Of
the kitchen.
Cultivate a habit of looking on the
sunny side Of life and you will forget
that you are dwelling in the shadow.
The quarrels of newly married cou-
pies have been said to be in many
cases the fault of the woman. The
women are sentimental, and are hurt
when their husbands show adisInclina-
tion for continual billing and co M
ing.
1t is said that washing and 1rinsing
satin and silk in gasoline will make
them retain their color. II faded slight

by light touching with chIoroform,

of satin or silk has been washed in the
gasoline until perfectly clean, hang it
on the line until dry. then cover with
a clean damp cloth and iron.

tonic friendship SO much as women is

ICE FOR TIE FARM.
Practical hints on the CONSTRUCTION q
Eiranla and Flahoratn Icehouseg,


Practical Hints on the Construction Of
simple and Elahorate Icehcuseg.
The season is near at hand when the
Ice crop requires attention. Nature per-
fects the crop. All that is left to the
farmer is to furnish the crib in which
10 garner it and keep IL. There Is no
crop to be sayed where the necessary ex-
penses,of the work may be so readily
limited by ones resources, as is the case
with the Toe crop. One can spend a
handsome sum on an icehouse and
make it ornamental from without and a
thing Of beauty within If he desires TO
do SO. He can build It substantially Of
almost any material and can have an
elaborate cold storage room built within
il If he can afford it but, on the other
hand. he can practically supply himself
and family with an ample store Of ice
for the summer at very slight cost The
Iowa Homestead says:
Many have found that the work can
be done at little more expense than that
required to build board fence around
an Enclosure, say l6 feet square or less.
All that is absolutely necessary is to se-
lect spot that nature has measurably
protected from the burning sun and hot
winds of the summer season, taking
care that the site on which the ice is
to be packed Is so ditched as to afford
good drainage. On such site foot or
18 inches of dry straw may be laid on
rails and poles On this the ice is packed
closely, making a solid cube Of 1t, five,
six or seven feet high and covering as
large an area as the needs of the family
require. Outside Of the cube Of ice build
fence with an interval of foot or 18
inches between it and the ice. Pack this
space with the best packing material at
hand-sawdust, cut straw, slough hay,
or whatever seems to be cheapest and
most readily obtainable in the individ-
ual case. Cover it on top with like
depth Of the nconduoting packing ma
terial.
In determining the size of the pile
count 40 squares feet to the ton. .Calcu-
late how many tons will probably Lo re-
quired, and then double the amount, to
allow the larger percentage of melting
that usually attends methods of packing
as primitive as those described. When
this is done, the work is done, And il
the selection of a site has been right,
with good attention to the details herein
indicated, there will be ice in the pile
late in the following fall.
It is not intended to recommend the
plan here outlined to those who feel
themselves able to do better. A cheap
but more permanent icehouse than this
should be attached to every farmhouse.
It need not be an expensive building at
|. all The points to be looked after are
drainage, a fairly well protected site fol
the building and plenty of good, non.
conducting material on all sides Of the
ice, with provisions for ventilation be.
tween the roof and the packing material
above It. If tie farmer can do this, he
should do it. Bat If he can do no better
be may well adopt tho simpler method
first described.

COMMON SENSE FARMING.

Farming if not practical is nothin g.
Theory may do as a working model,
but as it cannot take into considera-
tion all the elements nor all the unfor-
seen circumstance and exceptions, 1t is
often of little value because it cannot
be applied. Under such circumstances
a good application of common sense
will prove of more value to the farm
than an application Of the best barn
yard manure, or Of the more expensive
use of the best fertilizers in the market.
A constant application of good COM
mon sense by the farmer himself will
almost certainly keep any farm in good
running order.

peacocks and guinea fowls. / long since
