obliged to look upon in the past few

There really has never been any
thing between the veterans here but
what may be attributed to misunder-
standing in degree. Deep in their
hearts they have always been true to
their comrades and the principles of

the sight will appear to be penetrating.
1t is said that. COW with a placid eye
always has a good disposition, and this

The&cowiwith placid eye will get along

contented with her lot, whatever it may

indicates too great nervousness. and that
the animal is easily frightened. The
same is true of the quick, flashing eye.

seven thicknesses each of boards and
paper are used, and in these walls two
or more dead air spaces are made.
The studding for the walls should be
of 2x10 hemlock or other rough stuff.
These are covered inside and out with
close fitting sheeting, inch or three
quarter inch.
In the space between the studding is
packed sawdust, asbestos or mica;
then a ply of good building paper is
put on over the sheeting and another
coat of boards over that again. Over
this sheeting more paper and two inch
wooden straps are nailed; paper over
these straps, and more sheeting. This
makes six ply each of paper and sheet
ing, and two dead air spaces. The sew
enth ply of paper and finishing ply
of sheeting is then put on the outside.
This wall should inclose both the ice
house and store-room. Whether so
much insulation is used may depend
upon whether the first cost is more
than one cares to incur.
The movement of the air in the ice
house and store-room is indicated in
the plan, and is briefly this: The air
in the store-room is warmed by the
products there, and ascends to the CELL
ing, where it is conducted through a
space formed by false ceiling to a
flue running up the side of the ice-
house. On coming in contact with the
ice the air is cooled down again and
settles down. At the bottom of the ice
house it is drawn into the store-room
through openings in the side Of the
wall; is warmed up again and circu-
lates as before
! The ice. house in this particular case
would be built at the end of the main
building and would be 18 feet high.
It's foundation should be solid, and
drainage provided for the melting ice
The storage-room floor may be few
inches below that of the ice house, but
this detail can be arranged as desired
Close fitting double doors should be
provided at intervals up the side of the
ice-house, to take in the ice. The cell
ing should be well insulated, and a
window In the store-room wall should
have three or four sashes of lights, the
outer ones being frosted: This whole
plan, it should be remembered, is not
given as a. model, but simply to. sug,
gest some ideas on the subject. It has.
however, been tried on a large, scale
and found quite satisfactory.

The problem Of cheap fuel is the
most important in the northwest. A
supply available at low prices would
be one Of the greatest boons. AS it is,
the coal trust and railroads have their
iron grip on this whole section and are
robbing the people in the way Of exor-
bitant charges. A trust fixes the price
at which hard coal shall be sold and
the price is advanced arbitrarily at
pleasure. There is no competition, nc
restriction in price, but just pure ex.
tortion without present remedy. II
this problem Of cheap fuel could be
solved, the northwest would have its
great drawback removed.
