the following mode of keeping ice

"Place between two sheets of thick
brown paper a layer of cotton bat
ting about half of an inch in thick
ness fasten the ends of the paper
and batting together, forming a cir
Gle, then sew or paste a crown over
one end, making a box the shape
Of a stovepipe hat minus the rim.
Place this over an ordinary pitcher
filled with ice water, making II deep
enough to rest on the table SO as to
exclude the air, and you will be as
tonished to see the length of time
that the ice we'll keep and the water
remain cold after all the ice has
melted"
