Is thought necessary that we have stable
which will keep the animals warm with
their own heat, regardless of their health.
In few generations what will our cows
be? How are we to overcome the present
conditions and place our animals on a
more healthy basis1 Only by giving due
attention to their sanitary surroundings.
Give then plenty of pure air, water and
exercise.

Keeping Ice from Melting.

However procured, even if it be ice that
has been put up by the user ice has cost
something, and should be made to last as
long as possible. Keep the ice in large
piece so long as you can, and wrap it in
something that is poor conductor Of
heat Wooden cloths re better than cot
ton, for they conduct the heat less rapidly.
Paper is better than wooden as it will not
admit air. If newspapers are used to
wrap ice in they can be thrown away after
they have served this purpose without any
loss.

Radght's Work

The seriousness and the fiXity of pur-
pose with which John Willard Raught
paints are elements which unite with
his artistic perceptiveness and his de-
sire for artistic truth to make certain
an enduring success.

ing and a forenoon of interest and
education 1t was. TO my way of
thinking, pictures should be studied q
few at a time in order that the great
est pleasure and benefit may be eX-
tracted. A large and varied exhibition
is a tax upon the perceDtive qualities
which no sensitively organized person
can stand without exhaustion. If one
of my readers can spend a large pOr-
ton of a day in the Metropolitan
Museum. for instance, without feeling
thoroughly worn out, he or she should
Immediately go TO blacksmithing or

Mr.. Raught's studio IL not large just
now, but the quality is a sufficient
atonement for the lack of quantity. "A

Raught is at heart a rOmanticist and
feel certain that he has made this
picture the expression of more than

beyond the life of earth are, il seems
to me, beautifully typifed. The fur

Mr.. Raught has been represented for
years at the Salon. His fine picture

on the line at the last Salon. 1t is
now in Mr.. RobertsOn's well selected
gallery. Mr.. Raught's "The Gorse

Mr.. Robertsons collection. Mr. Rob-

Most of Mr.. Raught's recent work
has been in the line of portraits. How
well he succeeds in that, those who
will study the fine portrait of Rev. DR..

Mr. Raught leaves Scranton in about
a month. He will probably summer in
the artists colony at Rye Beach and
will then go abroad. The breadth and

perative that he should not remain for
any long time away from the great

professional musicians depending upon
their profession for a livelihood, have
freely given their time without COM
pensation in many instances in the hope
of creating a desire for better music
among the masses. How well they
have succeeded is demonstrated by
the standing of the Symphony orches-
ira, the Fanny Mendelssohn society
and many other enterprises with which
these earnest workers have been iden-
titled.

to the doubtful and firmly esta blished
the ladies chorus as one of the insti-
tutions of the city. The concert on
Thursday evening showed that great
improvement had been made in the
selection of singers, the strengthening
of the altos giving more evenly bal

Contractor Britt had all preparations made
to begin the work Of excavation and re.

Main street, and expected to begin work to-
day. The street committee, however, put
their heads together last evening and came to
the conclusion that it would be better to be-
gin work on East Centre street, in the First
ward. They give as a reason for this change
that there is no definite understanding be
tween the Traction Company and the bor-
ough officials as TO what the former proposes
doing in reference to repsving their tracks
on Main street. Mr.. Britt must first secure
blue prints from the engineer before he can
begin operations in the First ward. He ex-
poets, however, to begin work this week.

stated that he had been recommended to her
as likely pupil to take lessons in making
wax flowers. The girl assented to the PROPOSE
tion, upon the assurances that as soon as she
became able to make the flowers the man
would provide her with plenty work. She
was told, however, that moulds were neoes-
sary, and she would be obliged to purchase a
set, paying S1.5O in advance. The girl paid
the money and the stranger left, promising
to deliver the mOulds the next day. He has
not been seen since, nor have the moulds
arrived
