Good Plan for Icehouses.


The cut shows vertical cross Sec
ton Of cheap icehouse filed with ice.
The plan is as follows: The foundation
should be dug about two feet deep in
gravelly soil. If the soil is clay the
foundation should be dug little deep
er and then filed in with few inches
of gravel or crushed brick. Such
foundation will allow slight circula-
ton Of air through the ice. Around
the inside Of the foundation, 6x6-inch
sills should be laid and to these a
double row Of studs should be nailed,
one row on the inside and one on the
outside. The boarding is then nailed
to the studs. This will make double
wall with an air space between as in
dicated by the letter A in the cut
This air space will prevent the heat
from getting to the ice. The boards on
the gable ends should be put on ver-
tically, leaving cracks between them
for the free circulation of air above
the ice. The roof should project about
three feet and be covered with shin
giles. A portion Of the middle of the
ridge should be cut out, leaving an
opening about six inches wide, and
over this a cap should be placed, as
shown in the cut, leaving an opening
on each side for ventilation. The ar

will be an exceptional case when q

this reason applying in the hill will
prove most economical. The ground
can be prepared in a good tilth all
ready for planting and the burrows
run out, and then a small quantity of
ashes dropped where each hill is to be

on this the seed can be dropped and

be well rotted and fined and then thor

rows in the illustration indicate the
direction of the current Of air in ven
dlation. A door should be placed at
one end of the house, and, as the ice
is packed away, short horizontal
boards placed across the opening will
support the sawdust.
In filling the icehouse, layer Of saw
dust about foot deep should be laid
on the floor, and then the ice placed
upon this Care must be taken to
leave at least a foot Of sawdust be-
tween the ice and the wall, as the
filling proceeds. When the house is
filled a layer Of sawdust should be
piled on top of the ice three or four
feet deep.
This plan may be used for an ice
house of any size. The. cost Of build
ing one about 12 feet square and 8 feet
high will be approximately $35.
II sawdust cannot be obtained con-
veniently, cut straw will serve in it's
place, if packed closely around the ice.

due the splendid organization of this

Even after this Fremont returned to

to have sighted him despite his sacri-

accepted the command of the Noun

BE MODERATE IN EXERCISE.

Average Business Man Can, While
Dressing, Get All He Needs.
The benefit Of exercise depends
largely upon the condition of the per-
son taking it and his fitness to derive
advantage from it. AS one eminent
phystologist and hygienist says: eff
man persistently overfills his blood
and connective tissue with materials
tngested greatly in excess Of his re-
quirements, exercise, especially If
spasmodic and violent, and taken at ir-
regular intervals, is likely to do him
more harm than good.
Few persons appreciate the fact that
even in work which seems sedentary
tissue Is consumed In one way or an
other, and that they can not alternate
it with other hard work under the i'm
preston that it is recreative exercise,
without burning the vital candle at
both ends. To people who live ia cities
the drain of normal daily life upon
the physical and mental energies Is
usually all they are able to meet.
1t is safe to say that the average
business man will get all the special
exercise he needs If he takes it while
dressing in the morning. For this
purpose light dumbbells or Indian
clubs Of he has room to swing them,
or the chest weights, or even an elastic
strap with handles, is all the appara-
tus he needs. He can do without even
these IL he will learn from any book
on calesthenics the simple motions Of
the body and limbs which bring the
commonly unused muscles into play.
Exercise for its own sake should not
be taken when it induces fatigue; 1t
should not ordinarily be prolonged
| after it has started sensible perspira-
ton, unless one Is prepared for BATH
and change of underclothing at its ter
m1nation. With moderation in eating
and drinking and zeal in the perform
ance Of the duties Of life moderation
in exercise will commend itself to the
sane man as much better than over.
