The doors are made of a single thick

to prevent sawdust or other packing
material used from falling out, can be
padded with straw, when the house is
filled. The accompanying figure rep
resents this house and gives a good
idea Of its method of construction.
The expense of constructing the build
ing above described will depend large
ly on the cost OF material, but should
not exceed S25. Often there are waste
timbels or boards about the farm
which a be made to answer very
well. To protect the house from the
beating rays of the sun, it is best built
under the shade of a large tree or on
the north side of some larger building.
It's effectiveness in keeping ice will
thus be greatly increased.-Oranpe

FIGHT AT CAPE HAYTI.
Experience OF the Crew OF TIE Bark
AtaIanta In June, m Related
by the Mute.

The mate of the bark ATLANTA views
with a large tolerance the caprices and
political whims of the people of the
queer ports in the Caribbean sea,
where he goes a-trading for dye-woods
and other products of the islands Of
that sea. His knowledge of practical
politics as the game is played in Hayti
is intimate and extensive, and he pro-
fesses to be one of the few living white
authorities On conditions in that black
peopled spot, says the New York Post
of recent date.
The Atalanta is lying at the pier on
the East river, where the cocoanut
schooners discharge, taking in cargo
for Porto Rican ports. Her dull-green
sides have been painted. but the bullet
marks can be seen, and the decks are
Scared. She was in the harbor of
Cape Hayti OF June 80, when there was
lighting in the town, and the Haytian
man-of-war bombarded the place. The
native soldiery ashore came down as
near the waters edge as they dared,
and let fly with their rifles to show
they weren't afraid. The warship had
taken a strategic position outside the
bark, and some of the shots found
an unexpected billet. The mate sat
on the pier in the sun the other day
and told the story of his wrongs with
out passion or heat:
1--WE came from Port au Prince to
Cape Hayti on June 16, and lay in the
harbor for 16 days. There was trou-
BILE in the town all the time. You could
hear 'em sh'ootin' away at night, and
yellin'. but Sunday was the great day
for 'em. Most of 'em would go to
church early in the morning, then
come out and fight Or hold meetings
in the plaza the rest of the day.
Here's the way they would fight:
One gang would get around a corner
behind some building, and hold a pow
WOW until they heard one of the gangs
they was against comm down the
street. Then they would rush out and
shoot, and yell, and scoot hellbent for
cover to get out of the way.
There wasn't any laws, and every
body was a soldier. One day there was
go dead bodies lying in the streets, and
nobody would bury 'em. Somebody
threw some of the bodies in a well that
was near by.
"On the last Sunday that we was
there, June 90, l think it was, the war
ship bombarded the town. The cap
tain. the chief engineer and most of
the officers are young English fellows,
but the crew is niggers. We had 90
tons of dye wood on deck. and when
the bullets hogan to fly we lay low I'M
til it was all over. After we got loaded
the old man had to wait two days be-
fore he could get his clearance papers.
The custom house was closed, but all
the consuls got together and made the
big niger in command open up and
let us get away. Then we sneaked
away early in the morning"

For a house IL feet square, a frame
of s by s-inch timbers is placed on the

A similar square frame is made for the

S-inch studs on each side. with extra
ones for door posts on the front side.
The outside is covered with rough pine
boards, the cracks between the boards
being covered with battens. Inch
boards line the inside up 20 the plates,
and the space between is filled in with
sawdust. The cheapest form of roof
is made of mel boards with batten
pieces over the cracks. and is supported

SMALL FARM ICE HOUSE.
One Like That shown I'm the Picture
Can Be Erected for Twenty-Five
Dollars or Less.

In constructing IN ice house it
should be remembered that the smaller
the house the greater the care to be
exercised in erecting the building and
packing the ice. Ahouse eject square
and s to 10 feet high is a very conven-
lent size for an ordinary farm. In
building, care should be taken to Sc
cure perfect drainage. The founda-
tion should be dug IS to "a inches, or
until gravel is reached. Where this
is not possible, the lower 2 feet should
be filed in with large stones, on top
of which are placed smaller stones

She was a Plymouth Rock, and long

Keeping Regular Accounts.

Many farmers are just beginning to
realize that their business, as we'll as
any other, requires keeping books.
When receipts and expenditures are
not rigidly kept, it is impossible to
tell whether one has gained or lost.
One farmer writes that he has made
more each year since he began to keep
books. He paid more attention to each
expenditure, whether OF money or
time, and he was enabled to tell just
what each product Of his farm had
cost him.-Prairie Farmer.

department which often provokes
dissatisfaction is that which pro-
hibita postmaster or any member
of his family from giving out the
addresses of patrons of the office.
A person may be looking for some
one whose address has been lost or
misplaced. What is more natural
than to go to the postoffice and
ask for the information? But the
postmaster. if he obeys the regula-
