A Phonetic Purchase.

The late Henry Miller, who was
guide, philosopher and friend to many
book lovers within a thousand miles
Of New York, was q most successful
salesman. One day he called on Coils
P. Huntington and showed him a rare
copy Of book.
There arc two volumes Of this"
said Mr.. Miller. 1.-THE other volume
is in perfect order, as you see this
one is. You cannot possibly let them
escape you, for you know you have
nothing like this In your library"
what is the priceY' asked the rail-
road king.
Seven hundred dollars" said the
bookman.
Those are too valuable volumes for
my library" Mr.. Huntington ex-
claimed.
Mr.. Miller went back to his place
and sent the books to Mr.. Hunting
toms house With a bill for $780, Next
day the railroad king sent for him.
"Why did you send me those books %
he demanded sharply.
Because you bought them." was
the bookman's calm reply.
II certainly did not!" cried the mil.
lionaire
"Oh, yes. you did" answered Mr.
Miller. you'll remember perfectly
well when tell you what you said
You told me distinctly, Those are
two valuable volumes for my libra

Books Of Reference,

Newspaper editors like to answer
questions addressed to them by their
readers-if they are not too hard
and they deem themselves as arbiters
rather than as accessories to a mis-
demeanor when they are appealed to
for information ito decide bet" But
they wonder sometimes why certain
questions are put to them for arbitra-
ment when the answers are to be
found in one Of three very accessible
books-an almanac, grammar and a
small dictionary.
These are books Of reference that
ought to be in every home library
however small. We guess that they
are, but that they are sometimes dusty
with misuse or out Of easy reach on
top shelf 1t is well to have an al
manac, dictionary or an atlas handy
when you ar" reading your newspaper
BY consulting them frequently the
reader will find his daily paper relates
his early historical studies to present
events and axes his touch with the
world closer nd more significant. Gel

ICE AND MILK HOUSE COMBINED
man who keeps about twenty cows
and sells the milk an icehouse IA by IA
by II feet high is Of sufficient size.
However, in no case should an Ice
house be smaller than IL by II by 10
feet high, because the outside surface
is too great compared with the volume,
and therefore too much ice is wasted
in proportion to the amount used.
In the plans submitted the frame
work is made by laying by sill on
the concrete foundation. Fasten this
to the foundation by cementing a few
bolts into the concrete and allowing
them to extend through the by sill.
Two by four studding Is then placed
upon this sill sixteen inches apart from
center to center. The rafters for the
roof are likewise made Of 2 by As,
placed the same distance apart as the
studding, but the purlin plate upon the
2 by 4 studding should be at least six
inches wide. The outside Of studding
may be boarded either with common
sheeting and paper, upon which poplar
siding is nailed, or with patent siding
or ship lap siding, the latter being the
cheapest and requiring only a single
thickness Of board.
The roof should be made with not
less than one-half to one-third pitch
and preferably covered with shingles,
for shingles are better insulators than
either slate or metal. However, paper
may sometimes be used to good ad.
vantage. A cupola or flue should be
built upon the roof to allow for the
removal of the warm air from the top
Of the ice. The ventilator may be
placed in the gable end instead Of the
cupola and when so placed acts for
the same purpose.
A continuous door should be cut in
one end to allow the ice to be put in.
This door may extend from the gable
down to within five feet Of the bottom.
In the cut, ice and milk house COM
bined. the side elevation shows how
the scheme has the advantage of utiliz-
ing the water from the icehouse here
shown for cooling the milk. No ice
needs to be removed from the ice
house. 1t operates automatically. If
the weather is warm the ice melts
more rapidly and keeps water in the
tank at the required temperature.

A SPORTING Parson,

The inhibition of hunting rector
by his bishop reminds a correspondent
that the Rev. Jack Russell. the IA
nous west country sporting parson,
was once cited to appear before the
bishop of Exeter to answer charges of
neglecting his spiritual and parochial
duties, and he was also demonstrated
with for keeping and following pack
of hounds. The charges were proved
unfounded, and Russell refused to
give up the sport, which he continued
to pursue almost to the day of his
death in 1873, at the age of eighty
eight. Besiies being an Unsuitable
hunter, he was, as his biographer
pithily remarks, 50 stanch supporter
of Devonshire wrestlers. an admirable
sparrer and an enthusiastic upholder
of the virtues of Devonshire cider and
cream" And in the pulpit he tried to
reform conduct rather than to ex-
pound doctrine and was stern de-
nouncer Of bad language, strong
drink and ''the filthy habit of smok-
ing."-St. James Gazette.
