Storing Potatoes for the
Winter.

Many Of our readers have sur
plus of potatoes this fall, and not
being satisfied with the prices offer
ed, desire to store them in theEbest
and most economical method, and
take the risk of getting a higher
rate next spring
If you have dry, well ventilated
cellar of sufficient size you can
scarcely do better than to store them
there. 1t is an advantage however,
to put them in large shallow bins
made with Stats, nailed an inch or
two apart, and raised a few inches
from the floor to allow of circulation
Of the air among the potatoes, One
such bin can be set upon another, if
necessary without injury, if a few
inches space is left between by
means of boards or scantling.
If it is necessary to store them in
pits or piles ott of doors,a high, dry
place should be chosen and the spot
should be scraped smooth and drain
ed, so that no water can get into or
under the heap. The pile should be
a neat cone in shape and should be
covered first with straw and then
with earth, to the depth of six or
eight inches in alternate layers.

Seven Lovely Ronncts.

ALL JUST FROM THE BANDBoX
AND ALL FIT FOR PRETTY
FACES.
N. Y Letter in the Cincinnati Enquirer
The most hardened of shoppers
gaze in admiring awe at the be-
wildering combinations of fabrics,
feathers and rare birds. Both bon
nets and hats are larger than last
season. Many are imported from
Paris and London, if the labels are
to be credited ; but stylish ones are
avowedly the product of New York
hands. | can give no clearer idea Of
the fashions than by briefly describ-
few diversified examples. An ev-
ening bonnet of blue plush has a
wide front brjm and large flat
crown, the covering being brought
over to the front and arranged in
the folds, secured in the center by a
steel crescent, and the pulled brim
is garnished with pleatings of pale
blue satin ribbon, while clusters of
blue ostrich tips fall over the side.
A curious bonnet of hunters
green has a shirred brim lined with
leaf green and trimmed with clus-
ter of dark and green tips. The
trimmings is bordered with oak
leaves, formed of the two shades of
green in Illuminated beads, with
glittering pendants falling from the
center of each leaf. Some of the
styles are quite simple and neat, and
of the latter class is a modified poke
bonnet of electric blue, ornamented
with crushed strawberry feather.
A Paris bonnet which attracts
much attention is peaked poke of
Egyptian green, trimmed with a
profusi0n of velvet pansies, feath-
er of Egyptian green and a large
bird of plumage to match.
A small cap bonnet is bright car
dinal red, with olive feathers and a
big bird.
A shrimp pink bonnet is trimmed
with feathers of the same shade and
an impian bird.
A rich bonnet of London make is
dark military blue velvet, with a
blue feather.
A pretty bonnet is of the Langtry
shape, in dark blue, with steel buck
els on the sides.

UNSAFE FISHING.

Lake Tahoe, in California, is subject
to tremendous gusts of wind, which rush
down the surrounding gorges of the
mountains. Not long since party were
fishing from pier in the lake when their
attention was attracted by great roar
ing and they deserted a regular cyclone
approaching. Before the hurricane came
long unbroken wave at least fifteen
feet in height Knowing that this would
sweep the whole line of the pier all pres
ent beat a hastv retreat to the shore.
When at safe distance they turned to
gaze upon the scene. While thus en-.
ployed they were startled by tremen.

six huge water spouts made their appear

A novel sensation occurred in Column
bus, Ind, last Tuesday, one probably
never paralleled in the United States.
The particulars are David Newsom a
leading citizens, lives in the eastern linn
it of the city, and his cosy little home
was mortgaged to Frank Crump, the
wealthiest man in Bartholomew county.
For some time past Newsom has been
depressed on account of not being able
to pay off the mortgage, which was due.
Tuesday noon the two men met at Pal
mer & Maynard's saloon. Newsom told
Crump he couldn't pay him, whereupon
Crump told him thatif he (Newsom) would
60 home naked through the streets and re-
the same way he would be released of
the mortgage Of 1888 upon his property.
Whereupon Newsom stripped stark max
ed and procured an open landeau, in
which he rode through the streets to his
home. Here he dismounted and went in
to the house Coming out he said to the
driver, "I'm here, amt - and then
jumped into the landeau and was driven
back TO the place from which he started,
where he again donned bis clothes. Com
paraiively few knew what the excite
ment meant. Many who saw him thought
he had been shot and was being taken
home. When the truth became known
there was considerable CONSERVATION and
amazement, which finally terminated in
amusement. 1t is believed that Newsom
will get his 1888 mortgages released, as
Crump is an honorable man and in every
way responsible. Besides the agree
ment was signed and 800 forfeit money
put up. 1t is not known whether the Of
ficers of the law will take the matter in
hand or not.

A NOBLE LIFE.-It is related Of Miss
Adelaide Philips that some years ago
she found at Havana a Yankee girl in
the ballet who seemed without friend,
and was, in fact, a runaway. Miss Phil
Ups sought her out, took her under her
wing, saving her from dangers greater
than she could imagine. Before the OPP
era season was over the girl was struck
down by yellow fever. Miss Philips
became her nurse, contracted the disease,
and very nearly lost her own life in saw
ing another's whose only claim was that
she was a stranger in strange land.
Those who knew a little of the private
history of Miss Phillips have long been
aware that life of self-surrender COM
PEELED her to remain upon the stage after
less worthy woman would have been
enabled to retire in comfort. The Ca
reer that had seemed one of happiness
and triumph was long course Of hard
work for others and so the sacrifice went
on until youth fled away, the voice failed,
and at last the great singer dropped out
of sight.

ATTEMPTED MURDER OF HER FORMER
LOVER By AN ENRAGED IOWA GIRL.
MADRID, IA, Oct. Is.

MADRID, Ia, oct. 10.
This little village has been thrown into
fever of excitement over the shooting
of one CT its leading citizens and business
men. The victim, William Harmon, has
for some time been attentive to young
lady named Miss Hattie Myers, millin-
er, and, it is said, was engaged to marry
her. A few days since, Mr.. Harmon
went East, and has just returned with a
newly-wedded wife. Monday he and his
bride were making some purchases in one
of the stores, when Miss Myers entered.
Mr.. Harmon stepped forward, greeted
her cordially, and introduced his wife.
Miss Myers quietly extended her congrat-
ulations, and then, suddenly drawing
revolver from her pocket, fired at llar-
mon. The ball entered his head back of
The ear, and penetrated his mouth, and
the wounded man lies in very critical
condition. Miss Myers then attempted
to shoot herself, bu, the pistol was wrested
from her, wherea, she grasped long knife
and tried to cut her throat, but was again
prevented. Fears are entertained for the
young lady's sanity.

THE POSTAL DEPARTMENT.-The gross
receipts of the Post Office Department
for the fiscal year ended June 30th, were
s4l, 265,357.lO against $780, l7,5ll.55.
The receipts from the sales of postage
stamps, postal cards, envelopes, ETC., dur
ing the year ended June 3Oth, 1882,
amounted to sS9, 533,3l7.2l against
S34, 67s,Sl2.SO for the previous year
increase, 1854 04.9l. The issue OF
stamps, etc., for 1882 amounted to s4O,-
9s7, 95S.42, an increase over the previous
year of Sc, 352,9l7. These figures, it is
thought at the department, justify an
estimate of about one million dollars net
revenue for the fiscal year ended June
SOth, 1882, although the exact figures
cannot be given, as the expenditures fol
the past year have not yet been footed
