Buprema Court as soon as, possible after Con­ gress legislates on the subject, and our exact relationship towards the islands will then he determined by the highest authority. At .the present moment, it is not possible even to guess what the tribunal will hold, there being numerous precedents on each side of the question, KENTUCKY HONOR. The recent outrages in Kentucky are nothing more than could be ex­ pected if. we consider for a minute the principles which prevail in that state. To a Kentucky gentleman honoris everything. He believes if he is insulted be is in honor bound to shoot the mun that insulted him pro­ vided only that that man doesn’t shoot first. The people do not' consider it such tvheiooua crime to kill a mao. Thus; Goebel was nominated by his patty for the highest office in the gift of that state. But Goebel himself liad once killed a man iu a political quarrel. This fact, alone would have been an insurmountable obstacle to his election in any other state in the Union. The fact as to whether that deed had been committed in self de­ fense o r not wouldn’t have been con­ sidered! If he had the blood of a fol­ low raau .staining his character, the people wouldn’t have wanted him as governor. He was nominated, too, a t a time when his party knew that the contest would be close and that anything .which would turn even a- very few votes would he a bar to running a man for that office. Yet, in the face of all these facts Goebel was nominated aiid it doesn't seem that those Circumstances in anyway affected bis election. Now who is to blame for these crimes^yliicli have been taking place among some of the principle men of Kentucky? The people theiflsclves are to blame. As long ns public sen-^ timent' doesn’t ostracise such mem from polite society and from politi­ cal offices these outrages will con­ tinue. As long ns the men are per­ mitted to go armed with three and four revolversmen will be shot, Yet, another thing is responsible for the destruction of life in •that'j state and that is the disregard for law. Not long ago the papers gave an account of a roost barbarous lynching which took place in that state. I f it had been just an ordinary hauging bee no one would have thought of it, but the fact that the victim was tortured iu a way that would have made the fiends n hell take a back seat, made it very prominent. Many children beheld the terrible scene and each one went away with the principle inoculated in their mind that taking life by one’s own hand is the only way of avenging a wrong. And in future years we can expect these same children tak­ ing part in lynchiugs or shooting some one, committing a real or fancied wrong. BtwdDMtkOff.

' m . i » i ,' H !' farm ice houses , A Prize Article On Building and Storing. Thousands of farmer’s during the. hot sultry summer.days—when their milk is too warm to he palatable, their butter always comes upon the table looking like a platter pf yellow oil and fresh meats become stale in a single day—resolye that by another season they will be abundantly supplied with lee and a good refrigerator. But their fall work pushes them and before they are aware of It, the Ice crop is “ripe/; and no suitable building has been pre­ pare for Its reception. As a result* many abandon the Idea altogether, while others put up a limited amount. In a rail pen with straw, or stack up a small amount in one corner of the ' barn. The result of this hasty prepar­ ation is very unsatisfactory. As soon as the warm days come it begins to melt badly and before the sultry ‘ dog days” arrive the rice is all consumed, or melted away. . ,. josh Billings once said that the tiro* to set. a hen Is when she Is ready. Ex­ actly so with tho Ice harvest. The proper time to put up Ice is when It is ready ;, and wise is the farmer who has his house ready to receive it when it Is ready to harvest . The ice cannot bo put up in the pleasant autumn days, but the building can be erected and the sawdust drawn and piled ready for use. .With this preparation and ex­ pense met very few will neglect the ice harvest. •. The building.—An expensive build­ ing is needless, and an extravagant waste of means. Many “fall down” when they build too small. No ice­ house should he less than 12 x 12 , and HSxlfi with 10 -foot studding is better. The latter size is aniple for two fam­ ilies where they live sufficiently close and need it only for domestic use; Far less ice will supply two families from a 1 'ixlC house, than from a two 10 x 12 houses. The larger the body of Ice the less, proportionately, Is the waste, from melting. • The;pond.*—-When a spring or brook Is available, it Is better and cheaper to have your own ice pond. A. few day’s work with team and scoop will make iiu'excavation .and'dam sufficient for tho purpose. Then you can build your ice’house on tho hanks, where It can be very rapidly filled. And when your own house is filled you can often sell the second and third cutting to neigh­ bors for a sufficient sum to' make a good return for your investment in the pond. Ice from a pond prepared jo r the purpose, where the flow of "water can he cut off when the freezing process is going on, is much more uni­ form In thickness than when taken from streams or lakes fed by springs. Harvesting and housing.—Out tho Ice in squares about eighteen inches .each way, using great, care to have all the blocks cut true. Close attention to this feature will save much time in packing and be a safe guard against the admission of air and melting. Put a layer all over the bottom, leaving a space about 15 inches all around the wall to be filled with well-cured and rotted sawdust, tampod In closely. Before tho second layer of Ice Is placed, fill In all tho Interstices with crushed Ice, and If the day 1 b very cold, slush with ice water. Follow this up until the house Is filled, and von will have practically one vast cake >£ ice, with no space for air to start -he melting. There Is Just one advan* age in a double wall filled with saw­ dust; you do not have to remove all the dust each •year. The difference is not, in my opinion, sufficient to war­ rant the extra expense in construc­ tion. Care should bo exercised to get dust that is sufficiently rotted not to heat. Hauling early in the summer and stocking In a close heap, allows it time to go through a sweat and cool down ready for use. When the house is full and the spaco around the sides well packed with dust, cover the entire top with from eight to twelve inches of dust and quietly await the pleasure of using It next summer. When one lives near a city wltero ' dally trips are made with mill;, veg­ etables, etc., so as not to incur special trips to the artificial Ice plant, It may in some cases, be cheaper to buy Ice a t from fifteen to twenty-five cento a hundred than to preserve your own natural product—Ohio Farmer. jers<sys.
