Ing an ice-house, the chief points to be
considered are the exclusion of air from

ventilation over the ice, and proper sur

Amy little crack that admits of the in

such an extent as to melt the ice. Four
inches of saWdust or chaff is sufficient
to place under the ice, and eight inches

case of twin wall. A twin wall is
made by boxing the studding ON both
plates and stills, SO that they shall alter
nate with each other. Two by six may
be used, and they may be placed two
feet apart; twelveinch boards will an

each studding to project two inches
past the center of the wall and pre-
vents the air current from setting. The
studding must be papered with water
proof paper and then ceiled.

Law Suit Pending As Years.

A special from Grafton, w. Va, says:
There is in the Circuit Court of this
county a case, sent back by the last
term of the State Supreme Court for
retrial, which rivals Dickens celebrat-
ed case of Jarndyce VS.. Jarndyce. When
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad was
built through this country over forty
five years ago, Chardles Venderwerker
did some of the grading. The settle
ment of the contract led to the grader
suing the Baltimore and Ohio in the
courts of what was then Virginia.
Since then the case has been four times
in the Supreme Court, having been
sent back last week.
Vanderwerker is still living, but he
is not prosecuting the case now, hav-
ing assigned his claim to one Nye. Van
derwerker is an old man and has been
kept poor paying attorneys fees. The
first judges who tried the case are long
since dead, as are most Of the supreme
judges who first heard it. The full
amount of the claim now, with inter
est. is less than $1O,OOO.-Philadelphia

Ice House in the Barn.

The idea that costly ice-house is
requisite for the profitable storage OF
Ice is not borne out by those who have
improvised storage at comparatively
trifing expense, says the Journal of
Agriculture. A corner in the barn can
be adapted by any farmer at all handy
with tools, at a cost exceedingly small
when compared with the advantages
which a liberal supply Of ice during the
heated season will confer.

MAGIC WROUGHT BY RAIN.
Barren Australian Plains Suddenly Trans
formed.


The whole of the interior of Austria
liza is not, as some people appear to
think, a desert. 1t is traversed by rlv-
er courses, such as those of the F1nke,
Barcoe and Warburton, all draining
southwark toward Lake Eyre.
Nothing could be more striking than
the contrast between the dry and the
wet season, states Professor Baldwin
Spencer, who visited central Australia
on scientific mission last year.
In the former, one travels mile after
mile over bare, stony plains, with
scarcely sign of plant or animal life.
The sun beats down holly on shining
fields of brown and purple stones.
crossed every now and then by thin
bands of dreary looking mulga trees.
Such plants as there are are COM
paratively fer and far apart. AS to the
animals, they have to survive as best
they can; ants, flies and grasshoppers
exist in countless numbers, and afford
food to lizards, and perhaps smaller
marsupial rats and mice.
In the rainy season, which may only
thing is changed. From the highlands
in the center, and from every range OF
hills, the water rushes down in tor
rents. Vast areas, previously impas-
sable by reason of drouth, now become
impossible from flood. Within few
hours the whole scene is changed. The
water has loosened the hard ground
and countless animals have appeared.
Clay pans and water holes are noisy
with the croaking of frogs; crustaceans
hatch out with wonderful rapidly from
eggs which have lain on the dry
ground for, it may be, many months;
small mollusks buried in clay are re-
leased and every inhabitant OF land
and water sets to work to make the
best of it's short life.
The ground within day or two Is
green with the leaves of countless seed
lings, which grow rapidly; birds appear
as if by magic, and the once dry and
silent country is now bright with flow
ers and foliage and animals, all deck
ed out in the liveliest co1ors.
After perhaps a few days the rains
cease and the waters quickly become
confined to the river channels, securing
out holes here and there, where a small
supply will remain for time after the
shallower parts have all dried up.
AS the water disappears everything
returns to it's arid state, and it is only
those animals and plants that have
succeeded in reaching sufficiently far
advanced stage Of growth that have
any chance of surviving. The weak
lings among the plants are quickly
killed off-Pall Mall Gazette.

Feed VS., Pasture.

The amount of green food that can be
grown upon an acre of land and fed
to cattle from the first appearance OF
rye Or crimson clover in early spring
until late in the fall is many times more
than that which can be obtained ON the
same area used as pasture. While On
the pasture the cattle are subjected tO-
storms, many insects, and during dry
seasons they must perform consider
able work to secure as much food AS
they desire. AS green crops may be
cut at any time and several cuttings
can be made in a season, the flow OF
milk will be greater than when the
cows are ON pasture. While less Labor
is required in pasturing the cows, n
smaller proportion of land can be used
under the soiling or greenwood system:

have many lines connecting town ana
farms.
In another farming locality we know
of there is central exchange which
connects fourteen lines running into
the country and to other towns. A dog

each line. One farmer in that county

Some Dont,s for Fathers.

Don't lean down too hard when the
boy is turning the grindstone; this is
one of the causes Of boys leaving the
farm.
Don't expect the boy to keep up with
you and the hired men, and run err
rands or carry water at the same time.
Don't expect a boy to maintain an
angelic disposition If, after working
hard all day, he is expected to eat at
the second table.
Don't give the boy lamb or calf to
raise-which would have died if he had
not attended to it-and let it grow up to
be dads sheep or cow.
Don't continue to treat the boy as il
he had no sense, but consult with him
occasionally; he may possibly know
more than you do.
Don't rave and storm because the
boy wants some time to tinker; he
may astonish You with some Of his
work.
Don't tell the boy he can go hunting
or fishing Saturday and then hitch on
a days work before he goes. It is not
fair.

 According to the report of the off Cers of the Harvard, Wirth was sent out of the army at Santiago on account of suspicion that he was a spy. On board the Harvard he also acted sus- piciously, apparently trying to estab- fish communication with the prisoners ill spite of the strictest orders against it. and he was then placed in irons He was placed aboard a tugboat at noon today and taken ashore, where he was set at liberty. When seen by a reporter, Wirth said:
 "I am not Spanish spy; neither have I tried to make any trouble for tie Americans.
