Long Journey.

railroad from Nome to Cape Horn is being considered, and sometimes one may be able to take n through sleeper from one end of the American continent to the other In that case we would sample all kinds of climate from arctic to tropical and we would encounter endless variety of surface and scenery. Popular Mechanics says that several routes for such rail road are being considered, but which ever one may be chosen the lines al ready built and covering over half the distance would be utilized The fact that these exist makes the project seem less like a dream, but If we smile over 1t we might remember that men of affairs laughed at Cecil Rhodes when he suggested railroad from the Cape of Good Hope to Cairo-the en- tire length of Africa-but that road is now being built-is more than half done, indeed.

 self Human.

Somebody on the back platform dropped bundle, A woman saw it and picked 1t up. She was an honest woman; nevertheless she opened the package. It contained waist pattern of very pretty silk. When she saw that she thanked her guardian angel she had been created honest.
 If I had been an ordinary dishon- est thing" she told her husband, q should keep this silk as sure as any thing and make 1t up for myself"
 But since you aren't" said the man, what are you going to do with it?"
 "Oh, take 1t back to the lost and found department of the store where it was bought. The purchaser will probably inquire about it there"
 One evening about two weeks later the woman appeared at dinner In a new waist.
 "Hello," said the man admiringly, seems to me have seen that before Isn't 1t something like the piece of silk you found?'
 Tt Is just like it," sighed the wom. an. Tt is the same piece. I took 1t to the lost and found department, but Fl couldn't stand it. I went around the next day and asked for it my self"

 Couldn't be better" was the prompt response of mine host
 How about the gamer" returned the sportsman, eagerly. Are there any quail around"
 Well, 1 should say so, declared mine host. Every time the cook throws refuse piece of toast out of the back window four or five fat quail fight to see which one shall lie down on itl'-Philadelphia Telegraph

slons of standard cake of ice. that is' ~ inches square at the top, the bottom being somewhat smaller so as to make the sides of the can slightly narlng, and the depth to be 22 or 32 inches as desired As soon as settled cold weather comes arrange the cans on level plat of ground or on a level platform near the well or other water supply. Fill the cans with clear, fresh water, and when a sufficient thickness Of ice has formed to permit them to be turned over, even if the shell of ice is not more than F or inches thick, pour quart or two of boiling water over each upturned can to loosen it from the shell of ice. This will give hollow shell of ice about 2 inches thick on the bottom, which was for merly the surface of the water in the can, F inches thick on the sides, and with only thin shell on the top, which was at the bottom of the can.
 Remove this shell carefully from the can, break the thin ice over the top and remove all but about inches of the water in the cavity Place the shell of ice in an exposed but we'll shaded situation and as rapidly as the water in the shell freezes add a few quarts at a time until the entire cavity is filled and solid block of ice is pro- duced. In this way, with Is to 25 cans, the necessary supply for farm can be secured at small cost in a few days, the time depending, of course, upon the weather conditions and the number of cans in operation. If the cans are carefully handled they should last several years, The ice ob- tained in this way will be pure-free from vegetable growth, which some times damages pond and river ice. Be- cause of it's superior quality such ice will justify the construction of build ing which will permit its being stored without the use of saWdust or shay ings. A building constructed after the plan suggested is described in the United States department of agricul- lures farmers bulletin (No. 475) on Ice Houses, which is furnished by the department for the asking.
 The home ice supply is sometimes obtained by using a combination of natural and artificial means. Where an elevated water tank is at ones command line of pipe can be carried to perforated pipes placed on the cell ing of ths ice house and during freeZ- ing weather the pressure from the tank can be used to carry water through the perforated pipes to be sprayed into the storage chamber as long as freezing continues. By care full use of this plan on cold nights and during freezing days a supply of ice can be built up in place. The protec- tion of such a supply is the same as that of ice cut and stored in the usual manner.
