IN AFRICA 25 FOR 15c.
One bright morning, a few years ago,
' great excitement prevailed in the office of
the Philadelphia City Bank. Yet tha bankbad just declared a fat dividend of fifteen
■ per cent, for the half year. Shareholders
ware contented, aud gud Mammon seemed
. to cast a favorable oye oh the welfare of tho[ old and thriving corporation. However, a
mutinous feeling of diaconlent wa* plainly
visible upon the faces of tbo thirty odd em
ployees, who swarmed like bees into the
hive every week-day morning for the pur
pose of manufacturing the golden producethat delightcth the souls ot distributing di
rectors and radient proprietor*. Tbo shoepinched somewhere I \Vhcre w m it ?
Tho following notice, cireulated for tho
perusal of each clerk, contained tho secret
of the unwonted gloom :“ Every gentleman will be required to
remain at the banking bouse two Bundays
iu the year, to assist in guarding the premises. By order,
•‘ J. Spof forth, Secretary."
Hero was a revolution—a coup d'etat indeed I Six days wo should labor, but the
soveuth did not belong to the City-Bank.
The gilding of oxtra pay might have
made tiie pill easier to swallow, but on thispoint tho notice was discreetly reticent. In
the end, after n few days of conjecture and
excitement, every one quietly resigned himself to his fate, as black and white slaves
uro bound to do all the world aver.
I had been ten years in the Bank, audreceived a salary which, though not mag
nificent, was sufficient to support a youug
wife; and very happy we were in our snug
retreat at Wood Green. Of course we boththought it extremely bard to he separated
cvch for two Sundays in the year, still we
soon saw there was nothing for it bnt submission.
Now, though I, in common with others,rebelled against the forcible seizure of the
Sunday's rest, yet it must bo owned there
was some reason for the extraordinary in
novation. Tbe strong-rooms of two neigh
boring establishments bad been attempted
witbin a fortnight,and a boy carrying bonds
in Broad Street hail been decoyed awayand tbo securities stolen. But, worst of all,
somo pilfering had been going on for
month* in onr own bunk. Stamps had
disappeared to an alarming extent. Clerks
had missed money from their coats, nnd
now and then the garments themselves
spirited away. Trans hud been carefully
laid, nud a detective spoken with ; but as
yet the rouge was not dircovcred, and an
nncasy feeling was rile among us all.
Tbo bank boasted of four porters or messeugere, one of whom (the cliiofj lived rent
free in premises that nearly adjoined tbe
building. He was a long lean man namedBenni It, with a parchment face and a goa
tee beard. Ha wan quiet, well up to bi*
work, nnd high in favour with tbe authorities. Of tho remaining three one had been
a grocer's boy, and tbe other wa* a farmer’*
son, both hontst creatures, but of no im- ,
portance in this narrative. Tbe fourth was ,
an ex-policeman named Lance, a blunt, ,
pleasant man, much given to relatiogquear ,stories of bis former life, aud not averse to ,
a pot of beer for hi* trouble. (Eight weeks bad pasted sine* tbo official ,notification, snd as Christmas approached (I wu* notified that I should have to keep ,
guard that day, and a most nnpleasaot
prospect it was. During tho week proceeding, the mystery became still more intensi- '
tied by the nuncconntable disappearance of 'a one kundred-dolfar note, and matter* be- 1
gan to wuiui a very grave aspect. '
On arriving at tho bank, the door wa* 1
opened by tbe night watchman who re- 1
mained in the building *11 night, and van- 1
ishsd with th* early morning on th* arrival '
of th* porter* to open the door*. A fewminutes afterwards Bennett walked io, ac
companied, to nay joy, by honest old Lance,
whose wonderful stories I fondly hopedwould help to relieve the tedium of a long,
dull day; then, without more ado, I pro
ceeded to make my first round. Proceeded l>y Benueit with a lighted taper, I
marched up-suire, through every room aud
office, across perilous planks and up dan-
gerou* ladders, till we gained the trap-doorwhich opened on to th* roof; then down
again to th* lowest abyss?* of coal teller
and strorg-room, looking in vaiu for soma
concealed burglar, who however w m con
spicuous b» bis absence. Very minutely
didj examine and try th* drawer, which
bad already been tampered with, *■ 1
kaew it contained, beside* stamps, a large
tnm in gold and note*. No—it aeetuedfirm and safe, and would take " a deal of
work," a* Bennett remarked, holding bis
taper close to lha lock, Lance, too, had agood long look at it, and expressed the
satn* sagacious opinion as hi* colleague.
Our first visit ended—and I wa* expect
ed io patrol at least three time* in the day
—the two porters went down to breakfast,
and I adjourned to the manager’* room,leaving the door partly open, *o as to b*
able to see all round the bank. I lit a
cigar, and, entrancing myself comfortablyin a managerial arm-chair, prepare*! to
stay the two hoars which intervened be
tween the eesaation of tbe ebnreb bell* andluncheon-time. Suddenly old Lance ap
peared again at the half-opened door, andapoka in this wise :
• 'Senas me. sir, but I've been a alesoe-
man, and I don't think that leak’s allright’
•What lock. Lane* ?’said I.
• That Uiar* drawer with th* stamp*,
sir.’
‘ Well, let na look again.’So saying, w* both want to the cannier
whMt eontained th* drawer, and Lsnoe
K inted out some small scratches on tbe
ik. and a slight indentation in the wood
work *urronnding it.
‘Tbrt'i ndriMltf I die for it F said tbo•t-polfaamar.
• Oh. thunder! You don’t mean It T• Sure of it, air.’
‘ Well, let’s have Bennett up-ataini and
beer what he think* of it.'
Angry at being disturbed al bi* breakfast. the head-wirtor camo grumbling to
‘ Perhaps so.'said I ; ‘what do you think,Lanee ?'
’ Well, ba looks honest enough—bnt
looks ain't always a guide,' said the manquietly.
' Then Ill atop in tb* bank to-niglit,
and see if I can trap my gentleman,' ex
claimed Bennet, ‘if you'll Itaye me the
key.'• I can't do that,' I replied, ‘bnt I shall
report the fact to the manager th* firstthing In the morning.'
‘ A* yon like, sir,’ ho assented reluctant
ly ; and they both returned to their long-
neglected meal.
After 1 retreated into my don, this time
with tha proud eoneeionsneu of havingsometbiog important to relate when the
next morning should seo the stream ofbusy workers one* more settling with
books and papers and filthy lucre generally.
One—nay, two cigars—did I consumedown to the last half ineb, read Byles on
Bilk nearly through, in default of more
cheerful literature, and I ntn afraid a tinydoze must have ensued, a* I was awaken
ed by Bennett's voice close to tn* asking
whit I would take for luncheon. Mechanically I fixed upon the hackneyed chop,
and with it a pint of ale, to bo fetched
from a neighboring eating-Lonso that: deigned to open for a oonple of bourn.
1 While he was gone I took the opportunity1 of making my second round, and found
nothing bnt peace everywhere, witli tiie1 slight exception of being startled by the
sudden appearaneo of the bank cat fromthe cavernous depths of the enormous coal
cellar. Eventually I returned to my room,
and found a succulent chop smoking upon
the table, flanked by a pewter pot of foaming ale, which,on tasting, I found unusual
ly soft end creamy—indeed I fancied I
conld detect a peculiar aroma in the grateful beverage which ssemed to make it more
than ordinarily palatable; anyhow I
thoroughly enjoyed tba repast, and whenan intensely slumberous sousation crept
through all my veins, my strongest effort
of will proved insufficient to keep meawnke. While I was still struggling
against the impulse, Lance camo in to in-form me that lie was going out to din* at
his home close by, while Bennett wa* left
on guard below. As he closed tho door be
hind him, my eye* shut, and I fell asleep,but only, iu a few moments, to be reawak
ened by his voice again addressing me.
' I don't think I'll go out to dinner, sir,'
said he, gazing at me with a strange ex
pression.
‘ Why not!’ quoth I drowsily.
‘ Well, sir, I don’t feel very bright to
day, and I ’d rather stop indeora; and ifyon’d bo so kiud as not to mention to Ben
nett ss I've come back. Bnt you don’t
look very well yourself, sir, just now ?'
‘ Lance, that ale has made mo most con
foundedly sleepy I'
‘ Well, have a bit of a nap, sir. I'll seethe place is all right—only I don't want
Bennett to know I'm here.'
' All right, all right,’ I replied, rather
shortly, for I wanted to be left to myself;
yet I was somewhat surprised at his wish
for concealment in so trivial a matter.
Again I saw the man pass oat and partly close the door, and onco more I drifted
into a heavy but pleasant slumber. Soon
I was a denizen of dreamland, and a shar
er in its grotesque and fantastic imagin
ings. I thought I w m clinging to tho tele
graph wires that stretch like webs over the
town, and performing theroon athletic1'cats iu impossible positions ; then I flew
through the air towards my homo at Wood
Greeii, spinning, as I went, a thread of
wire by which to return—a useless pre
caution, as I was at once transported to
tbo desert of Sahara, where I found myself
on a camel's back careering across tho
burning plain. Bnt in ray dreams the
face of tbocamel was the face of tbo. expoliceman Lanco, and ever »nd anon
strange grating noise* seemed to bo borne
past u* on the wind: Tbo pace began toslacken, and, as I spurred on my steed to
fresb exertions, I seemed to feel the prick
of tho rowel in my own flesh. It becamesharper and more painfnl; aud gradually
camel, desert, chase, faded from ray vis
ion, and the bank once again dawned oumy awakening senses. But. though my
serial steed and his surroundings bad all
disappeared, the spur nnaccountsbly
•nomtb remained, n* my nether limb*
were painfully reminding me.
It was no dream this time—I ws» wide
awake. Quickly glancing round. I discov
ered Lance crouching down brsido ruy
chair, aud vigorously applying a pin to tho
calf of ray leg. To this proceeding I wasabout te enter an indignant protest, when
a significant gesture warned me to remain
mute. Hi* face wa* white with unwontedexcitement, as he rose noiselessly to his
feet, and beckoning me to tha small aper
ture in the wall used for the trnnsruissmnef books and papers between manager and
clerks, bade m« look upon a spectacle that
made e»eh individual hair upon my head
to stand erect. The drawer containing
the stamp* and gold wa* being tampered
with before my very eyes in broad daylight. Stoopiag down with hi* back to
ward* ns waa a man softly but swiftly
forcing the lock with a chisel. Bui th*
m«n-~tbe thief—who was h* ? I knew ata glance that long lean form. It was Ben
nett. We both shrank back.
1 Take off your boot*, air,’ h* whisperediu a low voice. I noticed that hi* own
feet were shoeless. ‘ Creep round outaid*
the counter, and wait till I give tho word—then over and help me.'
I nodded ascent; and then I saw Lane*
crawl out upon baud* and knee* into the
office, behind th* shelter of a long high
desk, at tho end of which ba would b«
within a few feet of Bennett; I crept awayto the other *utrauc* of the manager'a
room, which led into the large apace ap-
proprialed to the public, and, gliding noisv-
essly along, I arrived where I knew I
must be opposite the thief at his work.
Click, click, went the chiral against thebrass lock. It was apparently * work c-f
time aud difficulty, though the Bound of
crushing woodwork betokened the nearaccomplfahment of tha deed. How long
the time seemed 1 Had Lance been able
to g*t slow to him uudfaeovered ? I judged ao, m the chisel still continued its grat- ,
iug work. Sometimes it stopped for a
moment, aud then I know that tba man
, but now Lane* looked up and said in a
stern voice :I ‘ Got the scoundrel at last—next thing’s
i a pleaeeman. Will you go, sir, or shall I ?'
Here there was a fierce attempt to fre*
, himself by the prostrate thief. ‘ Perhaps
I'd better stop with him,’continued Lane*;
i ‘ you'll get an officer iu a minute at the
station in Seventh street,’1 Seizing my bat I was off in a twink
ling and returned in double-quick time to
the bank, accompanied by a stalwart member of the eity police. A few moment*
saw th* poliesmao, myself and onr chapfallen prisoner marshing quietly to the
station, where I made the charge and left
him to the solitude of a cell until the next
morning. On my return to the bank thenight-watchman had arrived, snd I pre
pared to go home.• Why, I*nnce, yon must have suspected
the beggar before this ?’ I exclaimed.
I've thought of it sometimes, *ir,’ helaughed. ‘ Knew I should cop him seme
day.’ Then, with a frown—‘ menu, sneak-ing skunk I I believe he meant to try to
put it on wo or the watchman bore.’
‘ Well, all’* well that ends well, Lanee,
and it was a clever catch of yours. Wslmv6 a nice story for Mr. Spoffortb to-mor
row. Good;nigbt.’
• Good-night, sir.’
When I walked into the bank next
morning, I found th* story wa* alreadyknown. Little knots of men were eagerly
discussing the event, aud I ss well as
Lance soon beaaine tho center of an ani
mated erowd. At eleven o'clock I wassummoned to the board-room, to the Com
mittee of Director*, who complimented ma
upon the capture, as if I, and not Lauce,had been the hero of th* day. In the
morning newspapers tbero was a graphic
account of the ‘ Groat Bank Robbery,’concocted by som* ubiquitous penny-a-
liner, which my wife road nnd re-read with
mingled pleasure and alarm. Bennett i
w m eventually sentenced to eighteen I
months’ imprisonment, which we nil con- «
sidered far too lenient a jmlgramt. The i
ex-policeman came iu for the hend-mes- 1
senger’s berth, with a house rent free nnd 1
a present of two hundred and fifty dollar*. IIn addition to much very unmerited <
praise, I received a bonus of five hundred

Diphtheria and ita Cure.
KEKOSENM OIL A CURB—KEMARKABLE CVBES.
Ma. Edit or,—Allow me to say * fewwords of the greatest important to tho
public, Uirongh your journal, in regard to
the terribis disease of diphtheria, which is
raging with great destruction of lives to afearful extent, quite a large number of
cases proving fatal.
There is a family hare by the name ofLight, who moved bare from Roehratar
this season. Mrs. Light said to soma of tho
neighbors that before moving hers she had
an attack of ths diphtheria, and cured her
self by the use of kerosene oil as a gargle,
swallowing some; bat the remedy was sosimple that our citizens didn't think any
thing of it until five of Joseph Jelley’s
children were taken down with diphtheria.Thtir throats became swollen and canker
ed terribly. Mrs. Jelley sent after bar
neighbor, Mrs. MillieUa, who had latelylent n son by the disease, to ascertain
whether it was really diphtheria or not.
Mrs. Milliette pronounced it diphtheria in
a very dangerous form. Mrs. Jelley said
she would use Mrs. Light's remedy—kero
sene eil—which she gave her children as agargle, also had them swallow some. Tbo
children recovered rapidly, an,! in a fewdays were out on the street.
Another neighbor by ths name of Louisa,
railroad trackuaaster at this place, hadthree children taken with diphtheria, apd
cured them with kerosene.
Willi*in Emery bad four children takendown, and gave kerosene, and they recover
ed.
Robert Gillette was Uken with it, and
cured himself with kerosene.
John Reynolds, of Ingraham, had a
daughter aud niece cured by kerosene oilafter they were given up far death by tbo
doc ter.
What is most astonishing is that not asingle case where they used kerosene oil
has proved fatal. The remedy fa mtnpla
aud certainly cheap, and always at hand inall families tbrougheut the laud.
Also, Georg* Gillette had three children
taken with the tim * disaara very bad, aadthey were cured with kerosene. Years

Would be heavy and every economy hadaccordingly been need. He believed that
in making public improuemants the expenditure was cramped mere than it ought to
bare been. Tba expenditure Him year dees
noi exceed the estimates. He then gave' a Comparative statement of the expenditure
and estimates of 1877 with those of 1878showing that the Connell of tbe past year
hod kepi within bound'. There have been
differencea of opinion in the council as Iothe legal obligation of the town to provide
grounds for C. V. II. Station. A By-lawwas submitted and defeated and althoughhe believed we ifcro legally bonnd to fur
nish grounds, ho found bo wm in the min-oriiv and had to submit. He believed the
matter would be tested and we should yet
have to pay. Ho held the view Hint thedebenture debt.should bo kept at the lowest
poeeiblo point. The present system is the
most expensive that could bo adopted. Instead of making our debentures for 20
years they should be for shorter dates say
for 1, 2, 8, and 4 years. These we couldpay off one at a time and w* should thus
keep toe debt roneii lower than at present.
We have now falling due the interest ou

them for the oonfidence they had placed in’ him but to wus not a candidate for re-

Mr. John McDonald then moved, second-
’ cd by Mr. Foster, and' Iletoloed, — That the thanks of this
meeting bo nnd nr* hereby accorded to the
Council of 1878, for the assiduity to whichthey have attended to and pet formed their
duties, and for toe very flattering nnd
favorable exhibit of our town nffoir* whichtb*V have presented to this meeting.
The motion was put by the eccretnry,
Mr. Uowlnnd, nnd enrried nntmimonsly.Tlio Mayor, on behalf of the Council,
thanked the meeting for this renewal of
their confidence'. Ite was sorry the ramt-iag was not larcer. but ns the nquisition
wnn only placed in his hands the afternoon
of the dny before, it was iinnossiblo fi r himto give longer notice, an ] this wm’d pro
bably nceonnt for the small attendance.
Mr. W. T. Root was culled upon. Ha
regretted exceedingly that three of ourbest men hail declared their iiiteuLiou of
lenving the Council. They hnl influence,experience and ability, and their places iq
tho County Council c-»n!d m>t well be filled
bv other men. They had fimght the re
presentatives of the Townships who werent any time ready to onerritle the towns by
their numerical strength. !!□ liked the
remarks of Dr. Williams in regard to thedebenture debt. A mm will never sne-
coed who pays bi.' dr-b»« by note. We
should an arrange onr debt that it ran bopaid nt short data.
Mr. R. Y. Ellis did not known why be
should be called npnn, bo was neither xraemher of tho Conncil nor yet nn aspirant
for office. Ho signed tho requisition be
cause ho thought it of importance that weshould know something of the candidates
who were to bo in office uext year. Was
sorry to see sometimes mnn in the Conncil
who we would not employ in our business.Hoped our new Reeves wonld he nicn
whom we would have ever confidence in inthe County Connett.

There arc times when long awl v.dited service* should receive a fitting recognition, andwe avail onrselves of this opportunity to ask
your acceptance of this silver ice pitcher. It1* our earnest prayer that yon may ta’ lorn:spared to him who i» your partner in life, and
as the duties of a jswtor, if faithfully pcr-fornic-l, are of an onerous character, *uchduties are materially leave ndwhen ho is »»-

Gentlemen,—I thank yon from the very bottom of my heart for this expression "f yourkindness. I can assure yon I appreciate it all
, the mure l>ccau*e I am quite conscious that Ii have not discharge I my duties towards youi all as well as I would like to have done. Inth* kind and well written address which Mr.Murray ho* just read, you considerately allude to the difficulty of keeping one’* eye con
tinually on tho targe number of young men inour congregation. That difficulty is felteverywhere but especially in a manufacturingtown like ours, where young men aro continu
ally moving about. As a rule it is not hard towatch over married people because a marriedman generally ha* » bouse to keep his wife
ami family in, tait it ia very difficult withyoung men who frequently change from townto town, from »hop to shop aud from oneboanling boose to another. Your working
and Imsiness hours too, gentlemen, are oftenvery long— often uuneccoaarily long I think—and it not nnfrequcutly happen* that the very
time I could make it convenient to see manyof you and have a ch»t with you i» just tbetime it ia not v«ry convenient for you to i*eeme. Though employer* of labour are generally
very obliging in that regard, still it does nutalways do to go too frequently into offices,
stores, manufactories and similar plaeca toconvene at length with young men duringbusiness hours. I notice there are 127 names
to yonr adilrM*, and 1 humbly hope thatthough I »»T ■"< h»*® been able to give youall the pmaMl attention I would like, Ihave not failed to warn you against the temp-
tatioiu which beset the path of young men,ami to invite you earnestly to accept of Jesus
m your Saviour. You know my young friend*
that 1 have often spoken to you from the platform and the pulpit a* plainly and pointedly
m it was possible to (lu, nnd I accept thissplendid gift a* a tribnto which yon p»y to aman that you consider ha* at le*»t honestlytried to do his duty. Many a ptain nd drew
have 1 given you in the test »era» years, andwhJher you hav* always tak«n toy advice ornot your kindness to-night oonvioo** m* that
yon always gave me credit for taring to do yongood. 1 thank you moot heartily for the kind-Jv way in which you have addresaed Mrs.Ot„st audl can assure you her raven yrara
■ojoutii in Ingcnwll hai been on * uinnbrokeu hsppineaa. Young ladie* sometime*

For 2nd Dcp. Iteove—W. Sudwerth.For 1st Di’p- Re<vo tho o ntest stood
between W. T. Itout, A. D.ily and F.
Stewart.
Mr. Bradv, in declining the nomination
sai l altbongh he was not qualifi* 1 to ac
cent tho office, as he hold a license, yet heconsidered it an honor to bo ncm naled
: for the office of Mayor. Ho should like to
sco tho old Council rc-clected, particularly
Messrs. Brown and Nox.m. They haveJ had a good-deni to do in tho putting of th*
’ bonus of 6G0.WI0 for tho C. V. R. upon us.
They mav bo right or Mr. Daly mr.y boI right, and ho sh-jnld like to sco thflie two
; men returned to tho positions they hovo
t left. They should nut bo allowed to leave: tho Conncil until after this matter is fully
1 settled. , „ ,
Mr. Chadwick rotnmed renewed thanks‘ la the doctors for again returning him to
I "h« honorable office of Mayor by acclama-
"ion. Ho had duchnrged hjs duties to thobest of his ability and iu a manner which •
ho conceived to bo for tho best interests of
the town, fl« in the past so in tlio future hosli-mld endeavor to pci form the duties de-
rolvina npon/iiim to tho bent <»f his ability.
He looked upon onr affair* with no gloomyfol bidings. Wo have suffered with other
towns and cities in tho general depression
but onr town was not worso off Ilian manyothers, lie was not a party to tho obliga
tions which had been pnt upon ns ia tlw
matter of tin C. V. B- bonus, and whenthoso obligations become duo we should
not find them as burdensome as some
anticipated. II* should nso his ability tomoot them in iho best possible manner.
The opening of iho C. V. R. would, he
felt convinced, yet prove a great boon to
ns as town in securing proper and just competition la frrizbtr. He hop’d tlio utmost
economy would prevail. The past year
Urey had b**» exemplary in this particularand Ire lrep*d ths electors would select
councillor* as his colleagues who wonld
make economy Due of their cardinal princi
ple- .. ,Mr. John Buchanan said he was no
speaker bnt as ho had dono in the nasi bewonld du in tho future. Mr. Brady had
referred to a lawsuit in connection with lire
C. V. It. retllement, bnt he heard of nothing of the kind in tho Council. He
should strive to keep down expenses in tho
future and wonld endeavor to uso a wiseeconomy in this particular during the <rem-
jeg year. One great work to be entered, HUU U1 umm-i wumu u»,» n* w
upon this year will be tbe improvement of" ‘actJed. A new bridge woull also requireThames street. H* anticipated no trouble -- • • -------- ->--------™ ------
in tu’Biiug the liabilites imporod upon us
bnt with economy w* should get throughall right. He felt gratified that he had de-
served th* confidence of th* elector* and
thanked them for again returning him by
acclnmation.Mr. W. Sod worth next took th* platform.
, He hod been a representative in theConnty Conned many years ago. lie was
not pleased with tbe working of the Conn-
■ ail in some respect* during the ?**t y**ri which ho* been brought about by a Board
of Work#, and it wa* one of his t>H«<>ta in
entering the Council to breik up th* work-' ing of Uil# Bo»rd of Work* and to allow
th* improvement* to b* more divmifled.

Some Facto About Lime.
WEBNKSBAT.^AMDARY 1, HQ8.
Ice and lec-Houses.
C f The tea harvest i* not for off, and iww it
th* time to make preparations for it* storage.
Jeo is the cheapest of luxurk-a. It requiresbo sand, bo planting, no cultivation. Onedoe* not need even a rod of land on which tof grow thia crop. , It is produced on the public
'' domain of onr lakes and rivers in quantity
immensely beyond demand. All that is required of the consumer is that ho shell harvestand store it There are niggardly men in the
world, but we have never know u one so meanaa to act the part of the dog in the manger,and not allow the public to help themselves toall the ice they pleased from the lake or river
contiguous to his estate.
But notwithstanding the abundance andcheapneaa of thia product, comparatively few
fanners avail themselvee of its comforts,
i Probably one reason is, that they do not knowhow great a comfort and convenience ice is.Let them try it for a season or two, and theywould not know how to get along without it.
The luxury would become a necessity. In
like manner the Esquimaux do not appreciatethe comfort there is in a coal stove. If theyI could enjoy one for a short season, it would\ be the last piece of furniture in the hnt with
\ which they would be willing to part. If-A there evarfwas a family that was willing topatt with the luxury of ice after a fair experi
ence of its comforts, it mast have been an- odd one. I have never known such a case.It is one of the evidences of the progress of
the age that the market for ice increases each
year. Our cities have long enjoyed the lux
ury, but in the country, where ice grows onalmost every farm, certainly in every neigh-
re borhod, an ice house was seldom seen beforeX. the last half of the present century. Now
every considerable village baa its ice-peddler,and progressive farmers are providing them
selves with ice-houses. The advancing civilza-
iion brings few greater blessings.’ / Moro fanners would doubtless avail them-
selves of the comforts of ice, if they were not
L , under the impression that its storage requires( a complicated and expensive building, anunderground apartment lined with charcoal,
sawdust, or some other non-conductor of heat,for its preservation. This was the old theory,bat it ia found that ice keeps just as well above
ground as below ; in fact, a little better, for it
.. . is more easy to ward off the air than the heat'X * of the earth. All that is required for theX. preservation of ice is a shelter from the rainZ and protection from the heat of air and earth.
S J ' Any old shed will answer for an ice-house,and
as farmers have teams, and the winter is com
paratively a season of leisure with1 them, there is no reason why theyshonld not
| participate in the ico blessing. The hauling
' of wood, which formcly gave occupation to; fanners in winter, is much diminished, andI the hauling of ice can profitably take its
place.
Having had some experience in handling
. ’ ice, 1 venture to give it tor the benefit of the
■ nnininitated. My first ice-honsc, built somethirty years since, was constructed, accordingto the fashion of those times, in the ground,
and as I had noticed that the planks used for
the sides of similar structures soon rotted, Idetermined to have something more permanent, and so built up the side of my dug out
with chestnut saplings, six or seven inches indiameter, laid up log-house fashion. As afarther protection to the ice, I furred out my
i underground log-house, and lined it with’ planks, filling the space between the planks
and logs with fine charcoal, This structure
gave me space for 1,000 cubic feet of ice, thointerior measurement being ten feet deep and
the same in length and breadth—'nore than a
sufficient capacity for the supply oi an ordinary
family. This house kept the ice very well,but the damp air soon rotted the planks, and
after a few yean the chestnut logs Iregan to
' decay. No wood-work can long contact withmoist earth and air.
My second ice-house was also built in theground,tut the walls were bud up with stone,the sides furred out as before, and filled in
between the stone and planks with sawdust
—a much cleaner and just as effiicent a nonconductor of beat. This house also kept ice
well, and has been in use a score of years ;
but there ia no necessity of going into such
an expense for storing ice. My neighborsmaking demands on me for ice beyexd the
capacity of my new house, I stored a quantity
in the back of an old bam, and protecting itkept just as well as in a more elaborate struc
ture.
Tho great ice-houses of the companies thatsupply our cities and large villages, are al
ready built above ground, and many of them
are very rude structures, built of rough board*in the cheapest manner possible. It wasformerly supposed that the roof of an ico
house meat be doubly boarded and filled in
between the boards with some non-conductor,
but this is waste labor. All that is wantedof a roof is to keep off the rain. A close air
over ice ib a damigo to it Good ventilation
keeps the sawdust dry and porous, making ita better conductor,
For * farmer who has no vacant sheds inwhich to store ice, or much money to waste
on this luxury, I i ecommend the* he build a
rude etuctnra, in some convenient but notprominent place, twelve feet square on the
ground, with posts ten feet high,double board
ing it, and filling it between the Itoards withsawdust, The roof may be boarded o^ehingled
a* he pleases. If the former, th* cracks
should be battened. The ground.should bo
covered also with sawdnst, to the depth of sixinches, to prevent the heat of the catfli from
melting the ice. Such a structure will hold a
little orer thirty tons of ice-more thanetiouh for an ordinary family, and give a goodmargin for the accommodation of neighbors.
One of th* great secrets of keeping ice is to
nock it well The cakes should w cut cf uniform rise—-two feet long by fifteen inches wide
is a convenient aim for handling—and in packing car* should be taken to fill up all th* interstices with broken ice, and to break joint*
as the masons say. Th's prevents the circuls-
tion of air through the mas*. Each layer
should be kept level, and if between each layer there ia a little pounded ice, the cakes willcome out all the better when needed for «se.
Of coarse over the top layer there should be a
covering of sawdust six inches deep. If icepacked in this manner does not keep as long as
it is wan tel, it will probably be inconsequence
of wasteful consumption in the house. —Alex.Ht pe, in Coax try QttU.lenutn.
Baveral earre«pondouta aak for inforum*
lion concerning th* u*« of lim* <*U l«idi
and all of tb*m contain *vi<leno« of MV«ral
commonly Mc*pt*d bat f*l** theori**.
Pint, lime !■ not plant-food; or rath*r It I*
so common in most toils, and incidantly
comprise* ao large a portion of many fcr-tiiixan, that ita applioatton aa plant food ia
unneeeaaaiy. Wo have not teen a soil
analysis from which thia oonalinant waamiBtiog, and there ia nearly alwaya con-
siderable of it preeent in available form;all true supernuoaphatea are composed ot
one fourth part or more of lime, and ia
prominent in Peruvian and fish guano, in
nearly or quite all manufactured fertilizera,
a* well aa barn-yard manure.
Lime, however, ha* an important effect
aside from its section m plant-food. Fresh
ly burned lime (known as 11 caustic lime "end “ quicklime ") baa a strong affinity for
carbonic acid, bo that when it and organic
matter( which always contain k large pro
portion of carbonic acid) are mixed to
gether, the lime and carbonic acid uuite,
promoting the decomposition of the or
ganic matter. Newly •• slacked lime
which is lime united with water—has an
effect similar to quicklime, though slower,and hence is bettor for farm use. Fresh,
undeeomposed organic substances, especi
ally dung, contain the most valuable in
gredient of plant food, nitrogen, in its
simple form ; but it ia very soon changed
into ammonia, which in turn unites_ at
once with carbonic acid. Theo when lime
is brought in contact with tho mass, it atonce combine* with the carbonic aeid, and
the valuable ammonia escapes aud ia lost.
When, however, the lime ia applied before
the ammonia ia formed, the nitrogen is
oxydized to nitric acid, which unites with
the lime to produce nitrite of lime, and the
nitrogen ia saved, Therefore, lime maybe
used in stables and house privies, or in
composting carcasses of dead animals, to
advantage; but if mixed with manure a
day or two old, tho result ia a loss of valu
able material. The above also shows why,
when lime is put into a compost, it ha*
such beneficial action in hastening decom-
posil;on, and why it is necessary to use
plenty of fresh earth to absorb the escap
ing jmmonia.
Free ncida, and those in easily decom-
posiblc substances, are also readily takm
up by lime,and many injurious compoundsaa of iron in wot lauds, are rendered harm
less. In some soils iusohtble silicates, ofpotash, etc., accumulate; but the action of
lime will break up these combinations and
set the potash free for use ns plant-food.The above statements show that the main
action of limo in the soil is in making avail-
nblo plant-food whntwas before unavaila
ble. Thoroforo, while it may increase the
crop-yield of poor land, it will tend te bring
about its early exhaustion, unless plant-food
is added. In heavy clay soils, tbe above
mentioned chemical reactions of lime, des
troys their tenacity and makes them friable
and porous. Soils containing a large pro
portion of organic matter are benefittod by
ila application. Wet lands are less bent fil
ed by lime than the same when drained.on
account of tho water. Light soils are im
proved by it when accompanied by a liberalanplication of muck or other organic matter
clays should also have tbe same treatment.
As the best effects of lime are not apparentuntH the second year, it ia best to apply it
early in the fall; then, if th* land is notrich'enough, numnre or other fertilize: I pi t
on the following spring will h*lp produce a
grood crop, other conditions being equal.
The amount used is from 10 to 50 bushela
per acre, according to circumstances, the
condition of the soil, etc.—Affriculturitt.

IIow many farmer* have ever taken
trouble to make a careful estimate of the
amount of unutilized laud on their forms ?
There may be several acres overgrown
with brush and **eh year becoming more
difficult to ckar off and put in productive
condition, or Uisro |* a considerable are a
from which tbe timber hu been removed,
bat which has not been suitably cleared of
the brush and resulting rubbish. It is left
to produce berry bashes, and a great va
riety of weeds until the sell is so abun
dantly supplied with the enemies to pro-
tilfble enhure that it will require years of
paliMt toil to eradicate or subda* them.
Tb*re are on many forma seres of valuable

Why ia it that people will insist on feed
ing their young poultry on light diet is a
thing tbat I cannot understand. I know
by experience that tbe strongest nnd most
nutrition* diet is required while the bin! ia
growing. In the first place, only a smallquantity is taken at a time, and for this rea
son, the food auonld be strengthening and
given at regular intervals. When wo con
sider that the food which sustained the
chick before it left the shell was strong and
nutritious, we must also bu in readiness to
admit that a quality of diet partaking of
the same nature would be best. For the
first twenty-four hours the chick does not
really require.food, as nature has supplied
the little bodj with support sufficient for
that period, but afUr that the ap
petite comes, not all nt once, but by
degrees, and tho first fond amount* to
little or nothing, but it creates an action
nnd sets the dfpeslive organs in motion.
For tho first meal a sip of new milk is a*
M anything, but the second day the
bird is ready for business, and requires
■trengthning and easily digested food.
Birds feed tbeir young on soft, tender in
sects, and jnicy berries, and in this respect
wo must imitate uatur* and prepare a diet
to meet the requirements. When I bear
one speak of rearing chicks on buckwheat
bran, and another advise scalded bran for
the feeding of young poultry, I am'remind
ed of Ben Franklin's sawdust pudding.
The coarse fare might sustain the greatand good man when grown fit certainly
gave him a large and active brain) but
youth needs belter and stronger food.
My rule is never to lose a chick after they
are all out of the shell, and dried off, and
smart enough to eat, unless it be through
some unavoidable accident. Il is the earli
est feeding that tells on tbe birds—the first
start that makes the fine chicks. It ia true
that as the bird increases in size and age,a
portion of bulky food ia demanded and necessary, especially with tbe larger breeds;
but the first few weeks the meals should be
of awcet, soft and easily-digested fond. Thesame rule applies to old birds and those in
moulting. For young chicks much sour
food is not beneficial, neither is meal just
wet. It should ba scalded, and the dough
stirred as it cools. Any stint during the
first six weeks dwarfs the fowl, and conse
quently gives a blow to nature from which
it seldom recovers. Raw corn meal swells
and tours in tho crop, and causes indi
gestion, which is one of the worst diseases
that attacks fowls. It causes rheumatism,
chicken cholera, and, toe frequently,death.
Rapid growth prevents the gapes, and free
dom from vertnin and aubstantial food also
promote this. Over-faligne, often brings
on in,lige«tion,followed by hard crop.wliicb
ends in a burning fever. Th* afflicted fowlhas an unquenchable thirst. It awallowt
water until it pour* from tho distended
mandibles, and yet la not satisfied. There
is o Stoppage in tbe lower cron that prevent* all passage therefrom. Chiek* which
are dear of vermin, and well fed. ar*
naturally contented in their aocuctomed
rnnwaye if the mother that brood* them isof a quiet disposition.
