Tha St. Paul laa Palaoa Plana.
Tlie plans for the ice palace of 890
were accepted today, and construction
will be begun as soon as there is Ice
enough in the Mississippi. The castle
will be 300 feet long, and will vary in
width from 48 to 200 feet. There will
be one large central tower 54 feet square
and rising in the air to a height of 150
feet. Several smaller towers will be
erected at different angles, their height
ranicine from 40 to 80 feet. The towers
are almost purely Romanesque in design.
Starting at the main entrance, either
from the east or west side, the visitors
will enter the main tower, looking to
the right and left down long vistas to
the royal apartments at one end and a
large amphitheatre at the other. Hie
apartments of Boreal is Rex and suite
consist of a banquet hall, and the king's
and queen apartments, containing In
all eight rooms. These are located at
the east end of the palace. The amphi
theatre Is a large circular inclosure 100
feet in diameter, with a realistic scene
at the extreme end and niches in the
wall filled with statuary. The vista will
be about 800 feet long and from 80 to 40
feet wide, and will be decorated with ice
arches and sprayed evergreens intermin

The cost of the structure will be $15,000.

Not to Be tmlured.
If the Federal government desires to
stump out the lottery evil, there will be
little opposition on the part of the people
and the preps; but, if it gives irrespon
sible underlings the power to stamp out
the press when it exercises its right to
discuss the law. the result will be not
nniv odd 'pition. but indignation and
rrnnn n a i a oni? ii e one.
.Iiint now the papers are havina a (rood
deal to sav alwut the arrest of a Wiscon
sin editor because he published a clip
ping from an exchange questioning the
validity of the anti-lottery law. If the
arrest was made lor nothing more than
this, then it is putting it mildly to say
that onr ifoverninent has become Rus
sianized, so far as its treatment of the
tirpxa is concerned.
This policy will not work. If lotteries
runnel be destroyed without also de
stroying the freedom of the press, the
nponln will lie In favor of letting the lot-
teriea alone. We cannot afford to yield
our right to speak and publish fair criti-
c sins ol public measures, u we yieiu
the right in one instance, we may expect
to be forced to keep silence whenever it
suits the Koverntnent to demand it.
Fortunately it is no easy uiatier w
hiiildoxe the newspapers of America.
Die menace of fine and iinprironment
will intimidate very few. No matter
what Federal officials may hold, the
newinaoer men of the country will not
change their conviction that an honest
criticism or discussion of the provisions
contained in the anti-lottery law cannot
ith any show of instice lie Held to tie a
violation of that law. If they are mis
taken in this belief, then the law will
have to be repealed or modified. In this
kennhlie the irovernment cannot array
itelf airainst the press and have the
support of the people. .4Hin (Oa.

ARSENIC AND AMMONIA.
Rrniaraalila Conlraat la lha KflTsrl of
Two Folaona oa the Coiaplaalaa.
The slow absorption of msny poisons
changes in some more or less modified
form the complexion, but arsenic and
ammonia show their eiiect snout as
quickly as any. The popular belief that
arsenic clears the complexion has led
many silly women to kill themselves
ith it In small, continued doses.
It produce a waxy, tvory-lixe appear
ance of the skin during a certain stage
of the poisoning, but its terrible alter
effects have become too well known to
make it of common use as a cosmetic.
The effects of ammonia upon the com-
lexion are directly the opposite to that
of arsenic. The first svmptom of am
monia poisoning which appears among
thoe who work in ammonia factories is
discoloration of the skin of the nose
and foiehead. This gradually extends
over the face until the complexion has a
stained, blotched and unsightly appear
ance. With people who take ammonia
nto their systems in tma'ler doses, as
ith their water or food, these striking
symptoms do not appear so soon. The
on v e Meet ol the poison that is visible
for a time is a ire tie ml iinwho)c4omeness
and sallowness of the complexion.
Many people are slowly absorbing am
monia poison without knowing it. The
use of ammonia in the insnufai tures has
greatly increased of late, and it Is un
questionably used as sn adulteration in
certain food preparations. Official anal-
sis has plainly shown lis use even in
such cheap articles of every-dsy con
sumption as baking powders. The con
tinued absorption of ammonia in even
minute quantities as an adulterant in
food is injiitious not merely from Hs ef
fect upon the complexion, but because
itdestrovs the coating of the stomach
and causes dyspepsia and kindred evils.

the statement that, if to fifty million
parts of water there is one putt of am

In Nat s All Siuls' dnv is regarded a

the churchyard for Ihe piirNMe of decor

used for the pute, mid. though they
are more durable, they hardly Hwsess

They may, however. U regarded as
sviulHilie of the lieltavior, if m it always of
the feelings, of Uiom' who offer them. On
the way to tlieeeuietery a decent sobriety
is oliscrved. and ihe various families
usually remain seiMirale; but on the re
turn gem-nil soeiahility and mirth are the
rule. The roadside is lined with inns,
which are la tter tilled on this limn any
other dav in the tear, and from all of
them the seimd of singing and dancing
may be heard. Indeed, it is by no means
tineiiintnoii for a voiing NeaMlitan to say

To an Englishman no celebration of the
day seems u teller thing. If we forget
our dead we do not make their memory
the excuse for a iollillcalion.
It is not. however, ill this point alone
that a difference of sentiment exists.
The whole xvav in which the Ncax)litans
treat the bodies of the dead fills us with
disgust. To e:Jiuuie a corpse a year or
two after it has lieeu buried, to have the
skeleton taken to pim-a and the bones
curofully cleaned, would seem to us a
wanton outrage; the wealthy Neapolitan
who neglects to have this done for hi
kindred is regarded lis heartless. To
carry uUmt the prepared bones of a pet
child, and to place Ihem in a sealed
casket on (ho drawing room mantelpiece,
seems to us simply shocking; in southern
Italy it has been regarded as a most
pathetic expression ol sorrow, Hut tlie
height of whut apiieanto us grotesque
horror has been reached by a widower,
who has the embalmed corpse of his wife
dressed anew once a year in fresh and
