ICE CREAM ON OCEAN STEAMSHIPS
How II is Packed and Preserved Fol
Travellers on tho Nigh Sens.

How II IL Packed and Preserved For
Travellers ON tho High Seas.
The ocean steamships all serve ice
cream at dinner and buy q supply for
the round trip in New York. The
same is true Of clans and oysters.
They stow the shellfish away in tank
which is half.full OF rocks and sea
weed. They draw off tie water every
morning and refill the tank with
hose from the sea, so that it is per-
fecily easy to keep them in good con-
dition for several weeks. They keep
Holsters in the same way.
Ice cream is more difficult to handle.
1t takes about 800 pounds for the
round trip for passenger list Of $50.
1t is put up in cubes of one quart
each, which are packed in pasteboard
boxes after being wrappe, in oiled
paper. The boxes are then slowed
away in tin cans OF chests which hold
enough for single dinner. These
are sealed and piled mp in the re.
frigerator, where the temperature is
kept even the whole year around.
What ice cream is left from one voy-
age is used on the next. II has been
known to keep in good condition for
two or three months.
In Denmark some one has discov-
cred q process by which milk can be
preserved in similar manner by
freezing it into blocks, and the pro-
cess is said to be q great success.
Fresh milk iii cans cannot be'kept
longer than forty eight hours without
losing something of its flavor, but it
is claimed that milk frozen by the new
process may not only be preserved an
indefinite length Of time if kept in an
even temperature, but is entirely free
from disease germs, as if 1t had been
boiled.
A company has been formed at
Copenhagen with capital of $50,
to perfect this process and erect O
plant capable of turning out 10000
pounds o day, WHICH can be shipped
to any part Of the world in vessels
that have refrigerator capacity.

THE CURTAIN FALLS.

Over tho sorrow and over tho bliss,
. Over the tenrdrop, over the kiss.
Overthe crimes that blotted and blurred,
Over the wound OF the angry word,
Over the deeds In weakness done,
Over the battles lost and won,
Now mt the end OF the flying year,
Year that tomorrow Will not DO hero,
Over our freedom, over our thralls,
In the dark and the midnight, the curtain
falls.
Over our gain ard over our loss,
Over our crown and over our cross,
Over the fret OF our discomfort,
Over the III that We never meant.
Over the scars OF our self.dsnial,
Over tho strength that conquered trial,
Now In the end of the aging wear.
Year that tomorrow win NO; 10 hero.
Quietly final. tho prompter call9,
Over Il swiftly the curtain falls,
Over the crowds and the soliludes.
Over our shifting, hurrylng moods,
Over the hearths wAere bright Games leap,
Over the cribs where tho babies sleep,
Over the clamor, over the strife,
Over the pagentry OF life,
Now In the end OF the nylng year,
Year that tomorrow will not be here,
Swiftly and surely, from starry walls,
Silently downward the curtain fails.

Tho pathway OF life may be rugged and

But the road through the country is

Tho pitfalls and snaros that beset ne are

There arc fence rails for bridges and mud

And hard heads and boulders for gravel,
And broken down buggies on hillsides and

Lank horses, by work and abuse broken

Gaze at us from roadside and stable;
Young men reaching wistfully out toward

Or seeking It's portals when able.

And the breezes through seed patches

Where once happy children rcjolced as

There's little enjoyment In life scattered

And little OF profit or pleasure,
In roads where the bottom can scarcely DO

With less than a seven-foot measure.
Let us seek some reform, then, at once, ere

All trace OF our roads from our annals,
And make surface roads that the public

A Governors Road Message.

The recent message OF Governor
Smith, OF Vermont, to the State Leg
islature, dealt largely with good reads.
Their present law, he as serted, is en-
tirely wrong, as over $50, 900 are an
nually collected and then distributed
among the towns, to be spent by 245
highway commissioners in repairing
the roads OF their respective towns,
while not q cent of 1t goes into perma-
nent work or furnishes any lasting
benefit to >the State. The money is
spread out SO thin that it is practically
thrown away.
The idea OF the law was that the
smaller towns would receive from the
State, in the annual distribution, more
than they had paid as their share of
the tax, but the increase proves to be
too small to be OF any material bene-
fit. On the contrary, the small towns
would receive far greater advantages
IL the tax were used toward building
permanent roads and they were con-
nectcd by them with the railways to
which they are obliged to carry their
produce.
Statistics had been prepared by the
Governor ''to show the cost Of trans
portation Of the products of Vermont
from various towns which lie away
from the line of the railroads. to the
railroads, as compared with the cost
OF transporting the same article from
the railroad to market. From these
statistics it appears that on butter,
lumber, granite, lime, brick, cement
and hay the rate is from SO. 80 to 81
per ton by team from the point Of
production to the railroad, while the
rate TO haul the same articles from the
railroad station to the point OF con-
sumption is but from SO. 40 down to
SIG per ton. In none Of these in
stances does the haul by team exceed
twelve miles; in none OF the instances
is the haul by railroad less than 14O
miles.
''The rates by railroads." said the
Governor, ''will never. in my judg-
ment, be higher, so that whatever can
be saved by improved roads out OF the
cost Of teaming these products ought
to go into the pocket of the producer
Of the hay or the butter or the lumber
or granite or whatever is teamed. The
standard authorities give the saving in
cost Of teaming over good roads as
compared to ordinary dirt roads to be
from fifty to seventy.f five per cent, so
that there is from 81. 20 to 81, 90 for

A Mean Man.

I heard of Louisville man who
was pretty close. There died n
preacher who was perhaps the most
popular man in Louisville. His friends
undertook to raise q neat sum OF
money for his family, and did raise q
goodly sum. Somehow they succeeded
in getting a contribution from this
man l am telling you about, but in
stead OF giving cash he gave his note
at ninety days. The committee tried
to get him to pay cash, but he refused,
and they left with the note. There
were two or three other notes. but
when the committee explained to the
givcrs that they would like to make it
lump cash contribution, they all,
except this one, took up the notes
and paid the money. Whom all had
paid cash except this one they went
to him and explained the situation.
He declined to make it cash sub
scription, but finally, in answer to the
committees repeated appeals, he
agreed to pay it in cash il the COM
mittee would discount the note. This
they did, deducting the bank dis
count for the time the note had to
run. He was very close man.

Liberty

Rev. r. C.. IIif Speaks ON "War and
Liberty
Last night practically marked the
opening of the session of the NJ. =.
conference. although the real work
will not begin until tonight. An elo-
quent sermon pm War and Liberty"
was delivered by Rev. T. C. Tiff. one Of
the visiting ministers. The speaker
was introduced by Rev. II. NJ. Craven

The lecture was enjoyed by all pres
ent. 1t was a most eloquent and mas
terful presentation of the struggle for
human freedom during the ages. The
great warriors. reformers n states
men of the past were held in review,
and all was made to lead up TO the
present struggle ending so g~loriOusly
for the stars and stripes. 1t was shown
that the war with Spain has a basis If
patriotism and liberty for humanity cf
much greater importance. than in SUP
posed by many. The outcome OF this
was will be hat all nations will respect
the United States; that all fa%ctional
spirit will be forever buried; that the
AnglO-SaXOn races are coming y
the horizon. united for progress, n
that the light of liberty will shine out
to the islands of the sea and for peo-
pies over whom four centuries of op-
preston have hung.
The lecture ended In an enthusiastic
storm of applause. and a greater part
of the audience came forward to con-
graduate the eloquent speaker.
Tonight there will be a very inter-
esting service of the anniversary of the
Church Extension society. At 1880 p.

Robcrt Pearce, a Musician, Has Not Been
seen Since saturday.
The friends of Robert Pearce. a mu-
stefan. are anxious concerning his
whereabouts. as he has not been seen
since Saturday morning. Pearce came
TO Anaconda from Deer Lodge a snort
time ago. and was engaged to play in
the new X. of +. band. Work was pro-
cured for him and he was to have taken
a position yesterday morning. but he
failed to put In an appearance.
Pearce. on Saturday morning an
nounced thai a friend Of his had just
arrived from the East. who was broke.
and he stated that he was going to
buy him some clothing and take care
of him. That was the last time Pearce
was seen. He left several musical in
struments in his room. and also left
his clothing and other effects. Friends
fear that something may have hap
pened TO him, and they are unable to
account for his disappearance.
Pearce came recently from the coast,
and some of the other musicians in
the city knew him there. He is said
to be a man of temperate habits. and
SO far as known. nothing unusual was
ever observed in his manner. 1t is
possible hat he may have gone to some
adjacent city for a few days and may
turn up all right again. His absence,
however. is causing his friends consid-
cradle worriment.
