While the Civil War built up JAY
Cookies fortune, so the Franco-P russian
war ruined him. AS early as 1867 Mr.
Cooke had been invited to go into North
ern Pacific railroad construction. He
promptly set to work several agencies
which he thought would bring foreign
capital to his support. His plans were
successful. Capitalists in England, Hol-
land and France agreed to place $780,
100000 to the credit of Northern Pacific
and nesotia,.c- - = ecc within exactly two
days of consummation when the crash
occurred. One morning there came a
cablegram saying that Louis Napoleon
had declared war against Germany. Of
course Mr. Cookies foreign plans went
by the board at once. The affair slum-
bered. Finally Mr.. Cooke undertook the
task of constructing the road with Amer
lean capital. He put millions into it
and failed, losing his entire fortune.
Mr.. Cooke made another fortune in
western mines and was as wealthy at his
death as at any time in his career.

How to ReeomeP,

A correspondent states that she in
creased her weight in two years from
IL to l54 pounds by the following
treatment, and feels sure anyone else
could do so with perseverance,, as she
had very weak digestion when she
started. TO begin with, all people
WHO wish to get plump must drink
milk, as there is nothing that can take
Its place for the purpose. Begin with
two glasses 4 day, one at eleven and
one at seven in the evening; sip very
slowly, and sit down to it with Il bis
cut at that helps it to digest. In
crease the milk to two pints a day in a
fortnight; one glass can be taken warm
before going to bed. Be sure the milk
is quite fresh, and do not boil it, To
correct biliousness fake weekly a
podophyllin pill. followed in the morn
ing by one teaspoonful of fruit salt.
Eat plenty of good nourishing food,
but not mach meat. While taking the
milk, eat regularly, and try to eat
slowly
Always have a good midday meal,
avoiding cakes, pastry and sweets, and
drink weak tea. or cocoa made with
milk. Never drink strong tea or cof-
fee. and never eat or drink anything
at all acid, and no acid fruits or medi-
cines. Avoid all fatigue, take a moder-
ate amount of walking exercise and
rest, if possible, one hour after din
ner. Try not to worry or get excited
over trifies, and take up with a hobby
OF some sort. The above treatment is

Filling the Ice House.

1t costs about $50. often less,
to fill d 10O-ton ice house. In the
summer with ice at % cents per 100
pounds it would cost 500 for 20 tons,
and every farmer with a medium sized
dairy will use this much. Ice can be
stored in a wood shed. tool shed or
any good building. Ice will not keep
as well in these buildings as in an
ice house, but they can be used. re-
member, we put up ice once in a
building with q tin roof, and every
body said it wouldn't keep. But it
kept nicely.
1t is best TO build an ice house in
the side of hill. putting drain in
tie bottom, TO carry off the water that
accumulates The ice should be put
up while it is very cold, as when it
is thawing the ice is wet and bad to
handle. The ice should be sawed out
in squares just large enough so that
one man can handle block easily.
Ice hooks should be used to pull the
blocks of ice out Of the water. The
ice should be laid in a solid mass in
the ice house. pounding pieces OF ice
in the cracks and joints so as TO make
tie mass solid. Snow is better if it
car be had
After a layer has been put down,
cover with snow an inch or so deep.
taen begin laying the next layer. II
there is no snow this may be omitted.
After the house is filed, throw two or
three buckets of water on the ice 10
vet it so that it will freeze in a solid
mass. 1t is then ready TO cover with
sawdust.
Place about n foot of sawdust on
the floor of the bHilding before put
ting in the ice Leave a space Of
foot between the ice and walls for
so wdusf. also cover the ice ] foot deep.
Caro- must be taken not TO put too
much sawdust on, for il can be over
done. as well as not using enough.
WHOM too much is used the sawdust
heats. causing the ice TO melt rapidly.
The sawdust should be tamped
down quite often. As the ice melts,
kaen II tamped down so that no air
cavities are formed. When using the
,ce begin on a layer and use from il
Till il is gone, then begin on the next
LAYER. etc. Haul the sawdust in the
fall and have everything ready for

ers, wiring them out slightly, and tear
ing them into small pieces, scatter
them all over the surface they are go
ing to sweep. The little dampening
brightens the carpets without injur-
ing them in the least, and the moist
paper effectually keeps down the dust,
or at least the greater portion of it. by
catching it on itself. The paper is then
burnt, which is the quickest and neat
est way of getting rid of it. Where
brussels carpets have become some
what dingy, the water in which the
paper is wet might have little tur-
pentine added to it, as it has a re-
freshing and frightening effect. and
has tendency to keep the carpet free
of insects and moths.
One way to prevent the dust from
entering the throat and lungs while

THE INAUGURAL BALL.
More Elaborate This Year than Ever
Before.


The inaugural ball at Washington
Saturday, March 4, in grandeur will
eclipse any of its predecessors. 1t will
be in the Pension building, which will
be transformed into Spanish court and
decorated on a magnificent scale. There
will be a scheme Of adornment in cleo
trio lights, the colors being green, Grim
son and gold. These will blaze on almost
every foot of space on the walls and
ceilings There will also be elaborate
floral and flag decorations. The custom
of having the President and Vice Presi-
dent and their wives promenade around
the dancing floor will be omitted. This
walk has resulted in great crush, and
the presidential dignity has been ruffled
and the presidential attire has been
roughly handled in the efforts of the
crowd to come in close touch with them.
Instead, the guests of honor will stand
on a platform where everyone can see
them. Two bands will furnish music.
Tickets will cost So per person. Only
the guests of honor, cabinet officers and
ambassadors from foreign countries will
be on the free list.

Air Beds in the Morning.

il that all the beds should be aired i'm
mediately after being occupied. The
impurities which emanate from the
human body from insensible perspira-

absorbed by the bed. and will then, to
a greater or less extent, vitiate the air
