The icepick will take the place of the poker, and, instead of sitting around wielding a palm-leaf fan, all that will be necessary will be to throw a couple of hundred pounds of ice inte he "stove." Instead of going to the refrigerator for one of the conipo lent parts of a "high ball," you nete )r.ly open the door of the "ice stove," ieleet a chunk to ft the glass and pro eed as usual. Scotch and siphon wa ter, together with tomatoes and let tuce, may be kept together in the itove. The "ice Ftove," like all other stoves, omes in all sizes. It is a big copper cylinder, which is filled with ice and salt. These directions: accompany each stove: "If in a bedroom and the tempera ture outside is more than 106 degrees, put three pair of blankets on the bed, :huck 50 pound.s of ice ir.'to the stove, close the windows and retire." "L'sers of the ice stove are cautioned to keep overcoats and earmuffs where they can be quickly put on. Don't store in camphor at the bottom of the. trunk. No moths can live where there is an ice stove. "Don't co into the warm open air when frostbitten by the use of the ice stove. Scrape some snow from the side of thf love and rub ears or extremi ties i ii orou.-.ly. "Use the pick, which is sent free with each stove, to break the ice in r' e water pitchers every morning. A ham mer or an iron d ;i bin -i I n.ay he used in emergencies, but Ihe pick is better. "Don't put mint and butter in the same compartment in the stove. The mint is often stronger than the butter, and when th latter is spread on hot bi t ad the tiavor is often distasteful, even to thos; who like julips. "All bottled goods may be kept in the ice stoo. The tubular arrangement in the cylinder i.s excellently adapted for keeping bottled goods, even after being opened." When tramps visit a home where the ice stove is in use, instead of being mads to chop wood they can be made to cut the ice into cubes for the stove. In return they should be given their din ner and permitted to cool off in front of the stove. Prof. Moore says that an ice stove suflieient to heat a room 15 by 15 can be bought for ,?200, and that $75 worth of ice w ill keep it going all summer. If You Don't Believe It Listen to This Man's Koinarks. "Few Americans appreciate the vast' fir the Jerusalem Exhibition Com rxtent of our national domain," said pany and the Oriental Construe Col.

I'm bound for New York, and I'd save 32 hours' travel if I could travel in a straight line from Denver to Xew York. For instance, the air line be tween Chicago and Xew York is 700 miles; by rail it is 001 miles. Front Buf falo to Xew York it is 295 miles in an air line, 422 miles bv rail.

In tlv; event of a successful war of conquest with Great Britain, or by annexation, if the United States should become pos sessed of Canada, it would add 3,204,313 square miles of territory to the great republic, and our total area would then be G,807,371 square miles. We would still be one-third smaller than the Russian empire, and one-third larger than the Chinese empire." DISCOUNTING DEFEAT. Englishmen Say the Cnp Dfen- dr Waa Hnnntd by a Dnteh Crw. It is curious that Englishmen are questioning the international character of the American yacht race for the first time; for in the true sense of the word, it never has been a struggle between Englishmen and Americans, but be tween Englishmen and Englishmen, and Englishmen and Americans, says the King. "The America, rhlch carried eff the famous cup, was designed by an Eng lishman, who, with his brother, navi gated her across the Atlantic. Later on it was a Scot who owned the defender. Last time the American yacht was commanded by a Scotch skipper and manned by n Dutch crew. If the English depended od American skill in this way we should hear of It; but apparently John Bull is roused at last. He objects to the employment of British sails in the Reliance, which ia supplied by Ilatsey, of Isle of Wight fame. Yachtsmen this side of the water nat urally maintain that sail are a most important feature of a yacht, and If they are British in the American boat, the contest ceases to ho international.

The reclamation department of the United State Government has just completed the irrigation of 30,000 acres of land oear Heno, Nev., and will open it to settle ment in about two weeks.

Pine Tarqnoiae Stones front the Mines of Alihavuor Are Ileconilng Scurcer and Dearer. The turquoise gems, the finest exam ples of which are prcxluced from the mines of Nishaoor, are, pro'oauiy irom some change in the tashion ut the west, beroiiiing dfcartr in price and, in Teheran and neighborhood, more uim cuit to tind. According to Vice Consul General Tyler, at Trheran, says the Washington Star, much of the value of the stone depends on its shape, the ob long being considered the most appro priate; on its freedom from spots or dis coloration, hcr.u ver small in size; on its age, when the color has settled down into its final hue (not the superficial variations or sympathetic changes, hut its really permanent shade); but more than all on it s actual color, whether fresh from the hands of the lapidary or se.ds.te from long wear. Choice, taste and fashion largely determine the pre f erence of on a f hade or another, but the lapis lazuli, or the cloudless sapphire of its native skies, is the highest quality of the turquoise. The pearls of the Persian gulf, which have formed for a long time past an im portant branch of the export tride, have likewise, within the lasf few years, risen greatly in price. Mr. Tyiur says he does not think that this irfans that the sup ply has seriously diminished, but rather that the demand has increased out of proportion. Ten trouwird dollars for a rosary of faultless icarls is not at the present time considered at all excessive, although formerly the same might be bought for a tithe of that amount Making a Clir Ilfnntlfnl. In order to encourage builders to make the Russian capital a thing of beauty the city council of St. Petersburg has de clared its intention of exempting from taxation all new buildings which shall be adjudged ornamental as well as use ful. It is doubtful whether our law makers would approve of such a course, but it appears a powerful way to bring about its object. Tryinir Hard to Get It Miss de Muir You propose so beauti fully, Mr. Spoonamore and so fluently. You never seem to be at a loss for a word. Young Spoonamore Oh, but I am! You don't know how lost I 6hall be If vou don't --. Tribune. Joseph Chamberlain says the decline in the British iron atd steel trade is due solely to the op eration of England's free trade laws.
