UNDERGROUND cellars, such as were
general in so many parts of the country
some years ago, and still found alto
gether too frequently, can hardly be
too vigorously condemned. AS rule
they are dark, noisome holes, full of
dampness, impure air, decaying vege-
tables, etc., unfriendly to health, and
unsuited to the purposes which they
are designed to serve. The requisites
of good cellar are freedom from damp
ness, light, and q temperature low
enough to prevent decay. These con-
ditions can be best secured by con-
structing cellars above ground. In
adopting this plan there is less damp
ness, less necessity for admitting cur
rents of air, and bence less liability to
decay. In such rooms the air may be
kept, when judiciously located and
properly attended to, pure, compare
lively so at least, and wholesome.
There is no necessity, ordinarily, Of
cropping about in darkness; and, besides,
there is immunity from the danger
which attends carrying a light into the
darkness, and which Fl m accident or
carlessness results some times in q dis
astrous ire IVestera Rare.

TIN INCONSISTENCY OF Ir.-The Bur-
lington (Iowa) Harkeye thinks it is a
touching comment upon the hollow
ness of human declarations, to see the
man who is grooming because he sees
the country going to the bow-wows on
account of the dishonor and corruption
of its political leaders, innocently stand
on the scales while he weighs load OF
coal for customer.

DoN'T HAVE SECRETs.-The moment
the girl has secret from her mother, or
has received letter she dare not let her
mother read, or has a friend of whom
her mother does not know, she is in
certain danger. A secret is not a good
thing for girl to have. The fewer
secrets that lie in the hearts of women at
any age, the better. 1t is almost a test
of purity. She who has none of her own
is the best and happiest: In girlhood
hide nothing from your mother; do
nothing that, if discovered by your
father, would make you blush. When
you are married, never, never conceal
anything from your husband. Never
allow yourself to write letter that he
may not know all about, or to receive
one that you are not quite willing that
he should read. Have no mysteries
whatever. Tell those who are about you
where you go and what you do. Those
who have the right to know, we mean, of
course. A little secretiveness has act
many scandal atioat and much as is
said about women who tell too much,
they are much better off than women
who tell too little. A man may be re-
ticent and lie under no suspicion /; not
so woman. The girl who frankly says
to her mother, Il have been there. Il
met so and so. Such and such remarks
were made, and this or that was done"
will be certain of receiving good advice
and sympathy. II all was right no fault
will be found with her. If the mother
knows, out Of her greater experience,
that something was improper, or un-
suitable, she will, if she is good
mother, kindly advise against its repe-
tition. 1t is only when mothers discover
that their girls are hiding things from
them that they rebuke or scold. Inno-
cent faults are always pardoned by q
kind parent. You may not know, girls,
just what is right Just what is wrong.
yet. You can't he blamed for making
little mistakes, but you will never do
anything very wrong if from the first
you have no secrets from your mother.

A MATRIMONIAL PRoBLsM.-Ths fol-
lowing matrimonial problem is going
through the press In 1854 Mr.. A mar
ried Miss Il. He went abroad, and was
compelled to marry Miss G in order to
save his life. On his return to America
he ascertained that his first wife (B) was
dead. He then married Miss ID. He
went abroad and did not return until
1866. He called on his third wife (Dt,
and was shown to the door. She tD)
had heard about B and G, and threatened
him (A) with arrest. Being nominally
widow, and having frightened A into
silence. she married Mr.. +. Mr.. A then
married Miss +, who had the rare dis
erection to die promptly. Now if ID was
not As wife from the fact that G was
alive when A married d, is L to be re-
garded as DIS husband? Is ID As wife
or Els?

CHINESE HEADACHE REMEDy.-The
Chinese headache remedy called Polio,
which is sold in this country put up in
curiously shaped bottles, is an ethereal
oil obtained from q plant which closely
resembles the ordinary peppermint.

A POVERTY stricken tramp came to the
parsonage of a well-known clergyman,
not far from New York, and asked for
aid. Knowing that he was not very
likely to get money, he told the parson
of his distress in the matter of shirts.
The result was that the tramp left the
house a few minutes later, the happy pos
SCISSOR of tolerably good shirt. AS he
departed he expressed his thanks to his
benefactor, and told him what COM
fort the shirt would be to him. And
trpe enough, the garment did afford
warmth to the suffering tramp. but not
exactly in the way his reverend bene-
factor intended. Toward evening one
of the elders dropped in at the parsons
house and asked him how it came to
pass that one of his undergarments was
in neighboring gin mill, on exhibition
to crowd of loafers. The parson saw
it all in moment. The tramp had
traded off the shirt for two drinks Of
whisky and gin-sling. Hereafter when
that parson bestows shirts on a wander
ing sheep of this kind, he will take the
precaution to cut off the part marked
with his name.
