Toi?build and fill an ice house for
home dairy use is a cheap and simple
task. Keep in mind a few fa'cts. Ice

packed on its. side. Use but little sawdust: or other packing, but pack close,
as a circulation of air between ' the
cakes of ice is-more destructive than
direct heat. , :

tiotis will be given from time to, time,
botia for the pleasure of those who en-,
joy ;!such sport and to replehisb -fche exchequer of the club. We believe that
a gymnasium is a good thing for the

mdiney he can make on taking 4 girl to

exclusively, and as nails are to be
placed on the free list if the 'Wilson
bill passes, and as all the firm's manufacturing nails in the United States

tree he sees the blossoms in the spring,
dosen't go near it all summer but in
the fall goes out expecting to harvest
two or three barrels of prime apples.
If the tree were sprayed once or twice
in June the moths would be destroyed
and the apple crop be as largeas it was
a few years ago.

• "Wanted to exchange: All my old

Over 500 yeterinary , surgeons have
signed a paper condemning tight check
reins as painful to horses and causing
distortion of the windpipe to such a
degree as to impede respiration. Paralysis of the muscles! of the face,
megrims, apoplexy, coma and inflammation are some of the results. By
holding the head upward it puts the
muscles of the neckon a constant strain
and exposes the eyes to the direct rays
"of the sun. This is a step m the right
direction and will be hailed with joy
by persons who have any feeling for
the noblest brute.
Banking Commissioner Sherwood
says, in his annual report, that "too
much praise cannot be given the press
of the state, which, by paragraph and
editorial, so nobly assisted every effort
to allay the excitement in financial
circles and make stronger; the confidence of the public in our state and
national banking operations. Not
only should the new spaders be com-
mended for what'they published but for
their refusal to give ejttended publicity
to sensational bank news from cities in
other states, notwithstanding , the
publication of such news at the time
might have increased the sale of the
paper.
TheBrinton correspondent to the
Earwell Eegister tells, this harrowiug
ghost story:: Eor several weeks Brin-
ton' has been visited by a phantom
from two to four times each week and
always between 4 and 5 o'clock in the
morning—always driving in from the
south with horses all covered. with
frost and turning west In Brinton.
Sometimes the apparition is seen or
heard on wheels and'at other times in a
cutter with and without bells, and
always disappears as silently and mysteriously as he came. He is always
seen coming in at about a six-mile gait
with a careless, sleepy appearance, and
when 15 rods from the I. O. O. E.
hall both he and the rig suddenly disappear as though the earth had
swallowed them up. To some this
may appear as a ghost story, while
others say "rats," but as for us we can
only say that we watched until half
past itwo-one night. Suddenly the
phanffom . and his , frost-covered pa:ir
was before us anil gone,  i
