IF the cellar Is damp, all roots should
be placed ia bins with slotted bottoms,
slightly raised from the ground, that
the air may draw up through the heap,
thereby preventing the gathering of too
much moisture. Ii, on the contrary. it
be dry and warm, put them directly on
the cellar bottom and cover with sand,
moss, leaves or straw. Salt hay is bet
ter than straw where it can be procured,
as it packs more closely, and the salt is
an additional protection in drawing
moisture. A few advocate packing in
sand, but this involves the moving of
too much material. A few bushels
thrown upon the top of the heap will
answer all purposes. In all cases, if
the cellar is not dark, the heaps should
be covered from the light, if the root is
wanted 10 be in Its best condition in the

BKDDrSG.-Secure a supply of stable
bedding before the wet and cold weather
sets In. Swamp grass, leaves, sawdust,
etc, are good. Do not use sawdust If
other material can be obtained easily.
as it is no advantage to the manure pile
until it is decomposed, and years are
acquired to accomplish that.

! A Nsw Sugar Making Process.
Louisiana planters are directing theil
attention to new'process for extracting
sugar. invented by Konrad Trobach, Of
Berlin. 1t Is purely chemical, differing
materially from the mechanical process
now used, and if it shall prove to be all
il is claimed to be, will affect Q revolu-
ton In sugar-maklng and cheaper the
article still more. Trobach's process
dispenses with crushing and pressing
altogether; the cane is cut into slices by
means of machinery, and the water ex-
tracted from il by alcohol vapor, which,
having an affinity for the water absorbs
it, but leaves the saccharine In the des-
located cane. This is then treated with
liquid alcohol, which extracts the sugar,
and afterward the sugar Is extracted
from the alcohol, or the alcohol from
the sugar, by filtering through lime and
chalk. One great obstacle to the cheap
manufacture of Louisiana sugar is the
difficulty of extracting all or nearly all
the saccharine from the cane; consid-
erable portion is lost in the bagasse or
refuse which is thrown away or burned.
II this waste could be saved it would
cheaper the process l cent a pound,
The present sugar-making machinery in
Louisiana would be an impediment to
the Introduction of the Trobach method.
II is not adapted to the new process and
would have to be thrown away-a sacri-
dee which the Louisiana planters could
Ill afford, as their machinery is very
costly.

Il short time ago, while the monks oil
the famous monastery of the Grand
Chartreuse, near Grenoble, were
taking their usual weekly walk on the
mountain terrace, near the monastery,
which has partly been blown out of the
rock, large number of pieces of rock
that had become loosened In some way
came tumbling down on them from the
mountain overhead, buryiug five of the
monks in the debris. The noise of the
falling materials was deafening, and the
continuous slipping down of fresh gravel
ami stones made it impossible for time
to do anything. When at last an effort
could be made to extricate the buried
men, it was found that one was quite
dead and the remaining four very seri.
ously injured.

AGRICULTURE.

Ii you wish to make good and profit
able pork, see that the pigs are properly
cared for. 1t is not enough that they
should have plenty to eat, but they
must have clean pens, else they are lia-
BILE to become diseased or sickly. Grain
fed now to fsttening pigs will secure q
greater measure of profit than 1t not fed
until the severely cold weather sets in.
A pound of pork can be produce for
less money in October than IN December,
and those who are making the greatest
profits from breeding pigs fully realize
this fact. Another thing to remember
is that there Is more in the feed alone,
than in the breed alone, and that plenty
of. suitable food Judiciously fed, will
make a fair profit even from a very in
different porker, while even tine choicest
bred pig will not prove profitable, II
given only ordinary food, at irregular
intervals and in varying quantities.
Pigs are great manure makers, and a
good-sized pen of porkers will, in sin
gle season. make couple of hundred
or more loads of valuable manure, If
they are KEEP supplied with the materials
from which to make 1t. Grass. old hay,
leaves, cornstalks, and other waste ma.
terials. all come into play in this connec-
ton, and the pigs should be credited
with the manure, IN reckoning the
measure Of profit obtained from them.

BULwER LYTToN's BRIDGE.
Where IL I0vvles the Shores Qnd the
Great Columns in
Midsreuan.

What a beautiful bridge between
old age and childhood is religion.
How intutively the child begins
with prayer and worship on entering
life, and how intutively, on quitting
life, the old man turns back to pray
er and worship, putting himself
again side by side with the infant"
remarks Sir E. Bulwer Lytton, in
his "Strange Story"
eyes, but between its distant
abutments the bridge of life has
many high and awful arches,
through which the wild waters dash
and roar in wrath and desolation.
Prayer and worship alone do not
sustain these. Natures solid rocks
must lie mistaken beneath, and hui
man art and skill must rear and
solidify the structure overhead.
Gods Will is best exemplifed in the
laws He has made for the creatures
whom He has placed under their
control. Neither the child's trust
full "Our Father" nor the old mans
'Forget me not in the midst Of mine
in6rmities," will alter this by the
weight Of a single grain.
| Science and art first-then faith
and prayer-is the order of Heaven
itself. Divinity heals through its
agents, and those agents are the
discoveries of man not the vague
announcements of prophets or seers.
Is life burden to you? Does time
drag? Is your power to cope with
life's problem and duties weakened!
You are not we'll. Your blood is
sluggish and tainted, perhaps; OF
some important organ is torpid OF
overworked. This fact may have
taken the form of dyspepsia, rheu.
matism, govt, malaria, pains in the
stoAmch, chronic headache, or any
of dozen other ills. Parkers
Tonic will invigorate you, as fresh
air invigorates those who have beer
shut up in damp, fetid cells. 1t is
powerful, pure, delicious, scientific
safe-the keystone of the centra.
arch Of the bridge of life.

your hairs If so, apply Parkers

How TO CURE A Cold. The
whole fraternity Of editors and all
their readers owe a debt of graft
tude to one Of their members, the
editor Of the Danbury NeWs, for a
report of the following case, institu-
ted by, though not practiced on
himself, but one of his editorial
corps: "He boiled little boneset
and hore-hound together, and drank
freely Of the tea before going to
bed. The next day he took five
pills, put one kind Of plaster on his
breast, another under his arms, and
still another one on his back. I'M
der advice from an experienced old
lady, he took these off with an oys-
ter knife in the afternoon, and
slapped on a mustard plaster in
stead. His mother put some onion
drafts on his feet and gave him
lump of tar to swallow. Then he
put some hot bricks to his feet and
went to bed. Next morning anoth-
er old lady came in with a bottle of
goose oil, and gave him a dose ON
a quill, and an aunt arrived about
the same time from Bethel, with
bundle Of sweet fern, which she
made into tea and gave him every
half hour until noon, when he took
a dose of salts. After dinner, his
wife who has seen fine old lady
Of experience in doctoring, in
Franklid street, gave him two pills
of her make, about the size of Eng
fish walnuts and of a similar shape,
add two tablespoonful Of home
made balsam to keep them down.
Then he took half a pint Of hot
rum, at the suggestion Of an old sea
captain in the next house, and
steamed his legs with an alcohol
bath. At this crisis two of the
neighbors arrived, who at once said
that his blood was out of order, and
gave half a gallan of spearmint tea
and big dose Of castor oil. Be-
fore going to bed he took a new
kind Of pill, wrapped about his neck
a flannel soaked in hot vinegar and
salt, and had feathers burnt on a
shovel in his room. He is now full
ly cured and full Of gratitude"

A Remarkable bridge.

Distant about an hours ride bv rail
from Ayignon is the pont du Gard tor
Bridge of the Guard, great bridge,
or alueduct, built here by the Romans
at a time when this part OF France was
occupied hy the soldiers and colonies
OF that people; and, next to the Co
losseum at Rome, it is considered the
grandcst and most perfect piece of
Roman architecture now standing in
the world.
Ii is an immense stone bridge,
stretching across the valley. 1t con-
sists Of three rows of arches, one above
the other In the lower row there are
six very large arches; above this is a
longer row of eleven smaller arches
and over this, thirty-five arches still
smaller. On the top Of the upper row,
and forming the summit of the bridge,
is covered aQueduct. or waterway.
At little distance this vast bridge
seems almost as entire and perfect as
when first built, and we can hardly
realize the fact that ii has stood there
for nineteen centuries. Ii was erected
solely for the purpose Of carrying water
across the valley. and was part Of an
aqueduct, twenty-five miles long, con,
structed 10y the Romans to conduc,
the water of the springs of Airan to
their town of Nemausns, now the
French town of Mines.
Great stones project at regular in
teryals from its sides, to the top Of the
second row of arches. These served
as supports to the derrieks and other
machines by which the massive stones
were raised as the building progressed.
i'm the stone-Mork which were made
there to support the seaiiolding Of the
Roman masons. p. n. Stockton, ia
