One Of the most curious features
of the Yellowstone region is to be
found in the hot springs. On the bor-
ders of the Yellowstone lake are ofton
to be seen elevated mounds, which
just out from theshore into the water.
These have pools filled with heated
water, SO that it is possible for a PEI
son standing on the mound to catch a
trout in the lake with the help Of a
fishing-rod' and to cook them in the
boiling spring without taking them
off the hook.

HOW TO MAKE A DARK AND
COOL CLOSET.

One Of the most satisfactory and
economical ways to make cool and
dark closet is to make an excavation
in the bottom Of the cellar, say three
feet, wide by four long, and four or
five feet deep. If the ground is soft
the sides must be bricked up and
plastered with heavy coat of ce-
ment mortar. 1.-THE ground is hard,
a coat Of cement laid directly on the
earth sides will serve every purpose.
The recess must be made perfectly
tight so as to exclude water. After
the recess is finished, let a kind OF
"dumb-waiter" be made, consisting
Of system Of shelves so constructed
that the fixture may be let down
bodily into the recess or be elevated
above the cellar bottom at pleasure
1t would 90 necessary to have q
guide at each end of the closet, ex
snding from the bottom Of the cIoset

DEEP Us SHALLOW PANS FOR MILK
Waring, in American Agriculturist
states that after two years trial he
is decidedly in favor OF the deep pals
or cans tor setting milk, believing
them as decidedly superior to the
lar e, shallow pans, as these are to
the common, small shallow pans. He
uses cans % inches deep and 8
inches in diameter.

THE ROMANCE OF MEDICINE.

The curiosities of medical life and
practice are endless. 1t we hear
very often of medical men doing ar
duous work for very scanty Iemuner-
alton, sometimes there is an Agreeable
diverse of RS ceiving very splendid re.
muneration for very scanty services.
We know Of medical man whose
duty it is to take lunch every day at
great castle belonging to noble
lord. The household is immense !;
and there is just the chance that
there may be some case of indisposi-
ton demanding attention. He gets
some OF the best company and best
lunches i'll England, and duly charges
q guinea for each attendance. There
is a very wealthy man near a great
city, who cannot bear to be left for
the night. There is a physician of
great ability who drives cut of town
nightly to sleep at his residence; he
Is consequently debsrred evening So
oisty, and if he gees out to dinner he
has to leave his friends before wine.
He has to charge his patient thous-
and year and, think, he works
hard for his money. LSometime the
services are such that money cannot
repay them. A friend of mine, a
young medicus, had a standing en-
gagement of four hundred a year to
look after the health of an old lady.
She required to be inspected three
times a DAY, ana make all exhibition
of tongue and pulse. What made
matters aggravating was, that she
was as strong as horse, while the
doctor was a delicate man. She was
so selfish and perverse, that he was
obliged to tell her that he would have
nothing to do with her case. SINH
larly, have known son OF rich
man who proposed to pay clergy
man several hundred pounds a year
for leave to spend his evenings with
him. The parson, however, was
obliged to tell his rich friend that
he talked such intolerabIe twaddle,
that he could not accept his com
pany on any terms that could be
named But the oldest of these ar
rangements is the following: A
medical man had been attending a
patient several years, and yeti he has
never seen his patient. The gentle
man firmly believes that he has an
aesophagus ofpeculiar construction,
and that is accordingly liable at
any moment to be choked. That
help may be at hand whenever any
sudden emergency may occur, he has
physician in the house night ant
day. The physician, being human
must needs take his walks abroad
and it becomes necessary to provid'
substitute for him two hours a day
ccordingly a doctor attends dali,
from twelve to two, fills up his tim
by disposlng of an admirable lunch
and finds the gold and silver coin, il
their usualshappy combination, neat
ly put by the side Of his plate, in tbs
sue-paper. Up to the present dat
he has never had the pleasure of ex
changing words with his interesting
patient.-Londo9a Society.

was equal to. One day Ben made his appear
