A Natural Refrigerator in
Summer.

Hundreds of people are visiting
a hole in the side of the mountain
near Coudersport, in Potter county,
which must be delightful place in
hot weather. The hole was dug by
a man in search of mineral wealth.
The farther he dug the cooler be-
came the atmosphere. At the depth
of twenty feet he was compelled to
quit. The popularity of this mine
is that about May ice begins to form
in it and continues to freeze until
October. There is ono ice in the
hole in winter. The warmer the
day the more ice there is in the mine.
On approaching the opening on a
hot day strong current of cold ali
is felt. The air becomes more frig-
id the closer one goes to the cavern.
There is no water at the bottom Ct
the shaft, but the water dripping
down from it's sides freezes. The
ice begins to form less than foot
from the top, and coats the sides o.
the shaft several inches thick. Wha
causes the intense cold and where
the air comes from arc questions
that have not been satisfactorily
answered.

Household Hints.
DO not leave vegetables in wat

DO not leave vegetables in water
after they are cooked.
Don't fail to add drop or two of
vanilla havoring to a pot of Choco-
late. 1t is great Improvement.
Salt and vinegar will remove stains
from discolored teacups.
Always keep spices for household
use in tins and shut them up tightly
as soon as the required quantity is
taken out.
If milk is kept in large, shallow
basin, it will remain sweet for a
longer time than if kept in deep
jug.
When baking pies or tarts don't
stand them on the top of the stove
after they arc done, as that makes
the pastry soft and sodden.
If hard boiled egg is plunged
into cold water Immediately after
it is taken from the fire 1t will pre-
vent the black rim from forming
round the yolk.
\ little memorandum book, or
slate, in the kitchen is a great con-
veniencc for busy housekeepers, in
which to write list of things need
ed for the kitchen and table.
Neither cheese, cabbage, fish OF
baked beans should ever be put into
the refrigerator. They all leave an
odor of which it is difficult to rid the
refrigerator, and they also flavor the
food.
TO stone raisins easily pour boil
ing water over them, let stand for a
few minutes, drain the water off, and
you will find that the stones can be
quickly and easily squeezed out from
the stem end.
Glasses that are used for milk
should be thoroughly rinsed in cold
water before they are washed. Hot
water drives the milk into the glass.

New Housekeeping Meth.

1t was a common complaint not
many years ago that in 1our system
of household economy We had not
utilized as much as WI ought the
time and labor saving devices and
processes which have Wrought such
marvellous changes in almost every
other department of hum an industry.
1t is said by way of reproach that
while the farmer, the artisan, and
the manufacturer promptly and ca
gerly appropriated for use in their
own business every new invention,
every process for tightening labor
and saving time, they left the mis-
tresscs of their homes TO carry on
the arduous and ofteA perplexing
round of household casls and duties
in the hard, wearisonS Pld-fashion-

POulticeS.

he aPPllCatlOn OF heat is often eX-
trcmely useful in the relief of pain
and of inflammation, or in hasten
ing the maturing of boil or fellon.
The most usual way of making such
application is by means of poultices.
These retain the heat much longer
than hot clothes, and. have an ad-
vantage over a hot water bag when
moist heat is required.
The making of poultices is an art
which can be learned only by prac-
tice, and unfortunately for many
poor sufferers few persons ever mas
ter the art.
A good poultice should be per-
fectly smooth, moist, but not drip
ping, as light as possible, and as hot
as it can be made without burning
the patient.
A poultice of haxsced is perhaps
the most common, but poultices
may be made of ground slippery-elm,
Cornmeal, bread, starch or any 9th
er material that will make a smooth
paste with hot water, and will not
dry too rapidly and become caked
and hard.
In making flaxseed poultice, the
faXseed meal, the bowl and the
spoon for string should be previous
ly warmed, and everything should
be ready to the hand before a start
is made. Boiling water is poured
into the bowl, and then the meal is
added gradually with constant stir
ring. This is better than adding
the water to the meal, for then it is
very difficult to prevent Jumping
AS soon as the paste is of the proper
consistency--two parts of meal tC
five of water being about the right
proportion-it should be spread ar
inch or so thick upon piece Of mus
lin, leaving an uncovered margin o.
two inches. Then on the face o.
the poultice is placed a piece of fan
mel of the same size as the muslin
The edges are now quickly turneo
over and fastened with safety-pin!
or basted, and the poultice is ready
The flannel side goes against th'
skin, layer of cotton is placec
over the poultice, and the whole i
lowered with --a4aher tissue al
silk,
The advantage of having the fan
mel next the skin is that the poultice
may be applied very hot without
burning
If it is necessary to repeat the
poultices often, it is we'll to make
bags of the right size, sewn on three
sides and with two-inch flaps on the
end, which can be rapidly pinned
after the bag is filled.
a poultice, to be of any use, shoulo
be changed as soon as it grows cool
which is usually by the end of two
hours.
If applied to a commencing boil
it should be only little larger thai
the inhammed part.
Generally it makes little difference
what material is used; the virtue be
ing in the heat and moisture; bu
sometimes flaxseed irritates a YER
tender skin, and then starch o
bread should be substituted. -

College Life for Girls.

DR.. Weir Mitchell delivered an
address the other day before the
young women of Radcliffe College,
in which he uttered much kindly and
sound advice. While he approves
of college education for both men
and women, he also deprecates its
pursuit to excess. lie says that
character is the true business of life,
and that if character is dulled in the
seizing of learning may, if it be
not built up, confirmed, and enlarg
ed, then give us for this worlds use
the nobler heart and the less tutorcd
brain" The problem is to get the
silver and not let fall the gold. APP
parently Dr. Mitchell thinks this is
difficult for women to do, for he says
he "nevcr saw professional woman
who had not lost charm"
This assertion will probably be
resented by many women, as will
also the further statement that the
worst dressed women arc Ewomcn
doctors, platform ladies, college
professors, and the folks generally
who are overvaluers of learning .
Perhaps there is a touch of mascu-
line bias in this, but DR.. Mitchell
does well to advise the young wom-
en-, in their efforts to dress the mind
not to forget the body. The femi-
nine graces of dress are not empty
things. They cannot be laid aside
without a personal loss, for which
no amount of masculine accomplish
ments can compensate. DR.. Nit
chcll warned his hearers that in en-
tering on a professional life as doc
tors, or authors, or teachers they
could not escape the need to assume
the household functions from which
they seemed to be escaping. 1t is
woman that makes the home. ''In-
deed, this is of her finest nobleness
to be homeful for others, and to sug-
gcst by the honest sweetness of hel
nature, by her charity and the hos
pitality of her opinions, suoh ideas
of honor, truth, and friendtiness as
cluster, like porch roses, around oul
best ideals of home"
Briefly, the gist of DR.. MITCHELL:
address is that no amount of educa
0manly instincts or Of health. He
said if he had his way every man OIL
woman should be subjected to a rig.
id physical examination before being
allowed to enter college. Some
men and many women would fail tC
pass such an examination. He warn,
ed the Radcliffe girls that if they as
sumed the masculine standard as tt
what they could do in the way O
mental labor they would do SO a
their peril. "Therc are days TO
most of you when to use the mint
persistently is full Of danger" DR.
Mitchell says that women at coEeg
are apt to work harder than men
while they should not work as hard
Their tender ConsCienCes keep then
from shirking where youth calml
ignores lessons and goes to the baI
field. The mans craving for exer
else often saves him from overwork
and the feminine lack of such a de
sire increases the pcrils of persisten
study for young women. Yet whc
they violate the laws of health the
suffer more and longer than mer
Trust me; | am right" says d.
Mitchell. "Do not try to be me
