One of the companies harvesting ice
on the Upper Niagara is using a novel
means of getting its supply. Their ice
houses are located at a point on the
bank where cutting cannot be carried
on to advantage, while IL in the open
at no great distance from the Ice lifts
there is plenty of good ice.
They are marking off the ice in
blocks, rs usual, but instead of saving
it into strips and running it into the
lifts, they detach great RATS of the
blocks by saving, and then tow the
raft to q convenient place near the ice
houses, where it is cut up for packing.
The cakes as marked off are twenty
two by thirty inches in size and about
eleven inches thick, These are de.
tached in blocks of about 5000 cakes
and foated out into the open water.
Graphing hooks are put behind them.
and by the aid of a tug the big raft
of ice is lowed 10 a slip cut in the shore
ice near the house. The tug is making
regular trips back and forth to the
fields in the middle of the river. Ice
%harvesters on the Niagara say there
never was better ice than there is
now.-Philadelphia Record.

A Boer Colony in Russia.

The Nowoje Vremya publishes an in
~teresting article, according to which
there exists a small colony of Trans
vaal Beers in the Government districts
of Volkynia and Grodno. There are,
our Russian contemporary says, some
ten small Boer settlements between
the villages of Sabuskije and Domat-
chewo, which were founded as far
back as 1920. The total number of
these Russian-Transvaal Beers, includ-
ing men, women and children, is be-
tween 400 and 500. The Russians call
them "Dutchmen," as they immigrated
from Holland. These Beers have pre-
served all the typical customs of their
South African brethren. They live on
farms, wear the typical "Boer hats"
devote most of their leisure time to
Bible reading, and are very Industrious
and honorable. The Boer farms dis
tinguish themselves most f%avorably
from the Russian. During the winter
months the men work in the surround
ing factories and saw mills, while the
women attend to dairy farming. In
spite of their better education, these
Beers are intimate friends of the ma
tive Russians. They all speak and
write Russian, and only when reading
the Bible or praying they use their
Dutch language.

In the Spring You Are
Always Run Down.
This Will Tell You Just What To
Do For Yourself.
And Just Why You Should Follow
Exactly This Plan.

In the spring everybody needs to
think about taking a spring medicine.
Not only is this a common practice,
but a very necessary and healthful
one. 1t is a fact which physicians
acknowledge and the people recognize
generally, that a spring tonic taken
during the months of March. April
and May is more conducive to the res
~toration of health. in cases of those
who are sick. than any other course
of treatment that could possibly be
adopted.
In the spring there are a great
many and important changes going on
in the body. Perfect health cannot
be maintained while the system Is
clogged and the organs sluggish. and
the person has a languid and weak
ened feeling. with more or less ner-
vousness and debility. Therefore
everybody should take a good spring
remedy.
The best spring medicine. Endorsed
and recommended by physicians,
druggists and the people. is DR..
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy. In proof of this. thousands
