A WATERPROOF Cellar.

"Please give me plain dire ?tiOns for
making Waterproof cellar, where the
water rises in the soil during the winter
nearly to the surface of the ground"
If We had to build cellar in such d
situation as you describe we would put
it entirely above the surrounding ground
and then bank up or haul earth from a
distance to fill in about the wall. If this
is impracticable, or you think it would
be too expensive; then lay UP a wall
with stone or brick, using cement for
mortar instead of Quicklime. ANY mason
who knows how to lay brick or stone
will know how to mix and use cement.
When the wall is finished lay floor of
broken stones, six inches thick, and fill
in with gravel and cement. When this
has set and become, hard, plaster it all
over and up the sides with cement and
sand. In this way you can exclude the
the water even if it does rise to within a
few inches of the top of your cellar wall.
Cement costs little more than ordinary
lime, but it is preferable for laying
cellar walls in any tenacious, wet SOIL

MEN UNDER THE RAZOR.
Types of Men Found in Barber
Shops.

says the New York Times, probably the
man in hurry is the most mutitudi-
Nous. He tears open the door, glares
wildly around the room at the comforts
bly, filled chairs, mutters gentle impre-
cation, and, with a despairing look, fires
himself out into the street again. Or if
he is not in quite so much of a hurry,
he hastily examines the stage at which
each patron has arrived in the tonsorial
process, compares his time with his
plans, asks when his turn will come, as
if he didn't know that would be as soon
as the chair was empty, and finally,
after fidgeting around and making
everybody miserable, he leaves the shop
just before ''next' is called. The thin
skinned mau is tender little body and

The why in Vegetable Cookery.

WY A.A sOS0oSs~"AO oo"NOAys
Why should beans never be put into
cold water to soak, as is often feconi-
mended? Because all the nutritious
portion of the bean is extracted by the
process. They should be washed in
warm water, then III cold, be tied loose
ly in a cloth, be put in boiling water,
with spoonful of dripping and little
salt in it, and be kept boiling for four
hours. They are then excellent to serve
with gravy, and not with melted butter.
They serve as garnish around roast NUT
ton or beef, and are excellent eating
served whole or as a PURGE. 70 make the
latter, when the beans are done threw
them into cold water, when the skins
will slip off. Rub the beans through a
colander, and mix lump of butter with
them. A little stock or milk, or cream
is excellent mixed in.
Why should plenty of fast boiling
water be used in Loiling vegetables, DO
tatoes excepted? Because the greater
the body of boiling water the greater
the heat. If only a little water be used
the whole affair soon eools, and the veg
etables become tough, SO mitch so that
no length Of time in boiling them will
render them otherwise. Broccoli
Sprouts in April; if properly cooked by
boiling them for eight minutes In boiling
water, will be tender as marrow; but If
not properly done, hours will not cook
them.
Why should onions be always cut iii
round and very thin rings? Because the
fiber is thus cut across, and in so cutting
them, whether for frying or for making
sauce, they are rendered very tender
when cooked. With turnips and carrots
it is just the anne; neither of the three
should be split or cut in any other way,
Why should parsley never be boiled
with soda-only boiling water and salt?
Because parsley, Having no, oil in it,
would be spoiled with soda, and all fla
vor would be extracted. All parsley
should be picked free from the stem, be
put into plenty of boiling water with salt,
and in summer be boiled only one min
ute, and in winter two minutes, and be
steamed and chopped ON the back of a
plate. If only a little water is used in
boiling it, the water becomes brown,
and the parsley tough and ill-flavored.
Why should vinegar for picking with
never be boiled? Because boiling takes
all the strength from it. Whatever veg
etables are to be picked should hrst be
made soft with boiling water strong
with salt, and then be we'll drained and
the vinegar poured over.
Why should two ounces Of salt and q
bit of washing soda always he put in the
water to boil green's with? Because salt
crisps the green's and lavors them, and
the soda extracts the oil, which is great
ly injurious to the digestion.

There is good deal of poetry in the
"short and simple annals of the poor
which seldom finds its way in print.
The Hagerstown Globe, however,
rescues the following bit oft from obliv-

A little fellow from oneofour charitable
institutions was being taken to a New
jersey farm by an agent. The boy had
BEN bound to the owner of the farm for
a term of years. The agent had notice I
that the boy kept placing his hand III
side of his jacket on the left side, and
occasionally would peep within with a
tender look.
At last he said, "What have you got
in there, my little friend?'
