It is nnnnumuul tli:\t< mi Indiana
firm has conntructo l a rorrigeratoi*
for making ico with natural gas. It
is well known that when gases are
compressed they part with a portion
of their heat, and, as they expand
again, take back the same amount
front bodies in contact with them.
Gases tints deprived "f heat can bo
made to lake it from unchangeable
Munis, wire!) in this way accumulate)
cold, that may bo applied to the
freezing of water. Application of
this principle has been made of the
cold produced by the sudden expan
sion of compressed air to tho pro
duction of ice. Powerful and ex
pensive machinery is required to
compress air and cool it. Ammonia
machines require a pressure of from
120 t.» ISO pounds per gqunr* inch.
These gentlemen hold that all that is
required for making ice with natural
gas, except the refrigerator and cans,
is provided for by expanding it from
its initial pressure to the atmospheric
pressure, nature having done all t he
work of compression and cooling and
made it ready to absorb tho heat,
made latent and freeze the water into
ice.
An ordinary gas well, furnishing
1,500,000 foot per day, with a suita
ble refrigerating apparatus, is capa
ble of making fifty-one tons of ice at
tin expense not to exceed fifty cents
per ton; and thou, by conducting it
to furnaces or rolling mills, glass
works, brick,lime or pottery kilns, it
would produce the same amount of
beat as if it was delivered directly
from the well.—[Philadelphia Record.
Amateur Nursing.
Messed indeed is that household
that knows not sickness and requires
no nursing; but this is a blessing that
in the natural course of events cannot
continue. There art* many Women,
excellent housekeepers in other re
spects, who know not hing about, nurs
ing or caring for the sick. Trained
nurses are not. always desirable, oven
when they can be alTordod, and bo wo
call attention to t lie fact that in this
day of practical training sotno
knowledge of Mursing should he a
part of every girl's education.
in acquiring knowledge that will
he of value iu the sick room, it. is not
necessary that, anatomy, physiology
and materia median should bo st ud
ied, though i! will be conceded that
some knowledge of these subjects
may be of great use. The care of the
sick, particularly when they are weak
or petulant is in itself a most valua
ble art, and one which some have
naturally, but which all can acquire.
What can tho sick cat, how should it
be prepared, and how served? are
questions of tho greatest importance,
for cooking for tlie sick is An entirely
different t hing from preparing food
for the robust. It is not necessary to
take a course in a training-school
for nurses to acquire knowledge that
will be of great list* in this work.
There are many books published on
the subject, and these with sympa
thetic devotion will furnish all the
information necessary.
The Sunflower.
Few persons appreciate the value
and profit of this common flower.
By many it is regarded a nuisance,
and yet its cultivation will pay
largely more than cotton and grown
at much less cost. An acre of land
planted about twenty inches apart
will yield an average of eighty
bushels of seed, the oil from which
will produce about 150 gallons. The
oil cake is a valuable food for live
stock. The oil is said to be equal to
olive oil, is superior to linseed oil for
painting in spreading and drying
qualities. The stalks having long,
strong fibers, make superior paper.
The green leaves are very nutritious
as slock food and the young flower
clips very palatable, to man. Machin
ery for expressing the oil is easily
obtainable and inexpensive. Boos
have a perfect “bonnnzo" in si sun
flower patch, and the seed is very
valuable for poultry as an %"J, pro
ducer. The sunflower is independent
of weather and js-rsists in growing
under the most unfavorable condi
tions.—[Atlanta Const it ution.

Tho sheriff had r* oeivnd especial charge
to keep a sharp iookcut for Paul nnd Silas.
The government had not hml eonlldeneo in
bolts nnd bars io keep safe those two clergy
men, about whom thero seemed to bo some
thing strange and supernuturul.
Sure enough, by miraculous power they
are free, nnd the sheriff, waking out of a
sound sleep un i supposing these minister*
have run uwny, and knowing they wero to
die for preaching Christ, nnd real ising that
he must tln m ore die, rather than go under

keen, glittering dagger of tho sheriff could
strike his heart duo of tho unloosened
prisoners arrests tho ldiido by the commtiud,
“Do thysell no harm.’*
In olden time, nnd where Christianity
had not interfere i with it, suicide w.is con
sidered honorable an 1 a s'gn of courage,
Demosthenes poisoned himself whon told
that Alexander's em'uissti lor ha 1 domahded

of Moscow Napoleon always curried with
him n preparation of opium, nnd one night
his servant heard tho ex-o uperor arise, put
something In n glass and drink It. and hooii

lift a warning unmfttn(cable, But in tic*
early part of this sermon I wish to admit
that Rombof tho best Christians that have

The government luxes of China are

of groat barns which were filled wit h
this rice awaiting shipment, and
every' town along the canal has its
government hams, .lust now tho
rice is being taken to the north, of
lute much of it- goes by sen, hut a
vast deal is still sent by the Orand
Canal, and at every town thero arc
hundreds of craft of every kind, and
these govern mold junks sound,lines
block tho canal for days. Hundreds
of mon aro employed in lowing and
pulling tho boats, and at places they
are dragged along by moans of cap
stans. The canal winds about like u
river in places, and navigation
through if is so slow that some ot
these rice boats have started in April
during t he pust few years and have
not arrived in Pekin until Septem
ber.
Parts of tlio canal arc closod te

the tribute rice, and the condition ol
