The Holland Come ly Company ap.
peared last night in "Pink Domnoes,'
before Il good-sized audience. Tie

such play could not be exp ,ctcl to
be very popular with husbands; and,
although quite anxious to see it them
selves, they generally manage to dis

That Is probably why SO many men at :.

How to Build a SilO.

No stone or expensive structure for
me, writes farmer. I have no money
to throw away, and my silo must be one
that can be turned to some other use II
necessary. l shall make it eight feet
deep and eight feet above the ground
and fifteen feet square. It will be lined
with plank and the floor cemented; above
ground the wall will be double. with
eight-inch space, made by using girts of
two by eight, well bolted at the corners,
and covering these with matched board,
having a roofing paper lining. This will
be built as an annex to the barn, having
door opening into the basement. Such
a building will always be worth its cost
for root cellar and a feeding-room
above or for an ice-house or for a store
room for feed, or even to store hay in.
1t will give a capacity of 8, 800 cubic feet
or sixty tons of the impressed cut forage
which will settle down nearly to the
ground level when it is pressed. The
pressure required to make the mass o.
fodder air tight is the only troublesome
part of the business. Stone will be the
best material as it is easily handled if no
too large. The next best material il
earth. I have seen a silo thus furnished
the earth being put into good flour bar
rels, strengthened with an iron hool
around the middle, and with extri
wooden hoop stuff merely wound arounC
tightly and nailed. The barrel 81
strengthened will be serviceable TO
many years, and each will weigh 50t
pounds. A silo sixteen feet squar
would need sixty such barrels stand
ing on end to weigh it. A pair o
three-pulley blocks will handle then
very easily.

Pills.

Mr.. Ingram, the founder and pro-
prietor of the Illustrated London NeaUS,
made his first fortune by PARIS life
pills, as Holloway did by his. Mr. In
gram used to say that he always noticed
on market days at Nottingham that
general purchasers gave the preference
to goods which were advertised with
cuts. SO he put an imaginary picture
of old Parr on the front of his advertise
ment, with good effect. Holloway fol-
lowed his example. He confined bim-
self to money making, however, whereas
Ingram was socially ambitious, eager for
admission to society, and was NJ. p. for
Boston at his death. He had a very
handsome country seat adjoining his
paper mills, in Herts, where ON Sundays
he entertained large parties of brother
NJ. Ps. He was in some respects very
democratic, dining in his shirt sleeves
every week day at / with his printers
and employees at the Rainbow, which
was near the office of the Illustrated

Stop that Cough.

Coughs and colds are prevalent now,
especially among children, too often
from the ignorance or carelessness o
their elder guardians. Many mothers
appear to accept with resignation the
repeated and violent colds from which
their children suffer as providential and
unavoidable. A cold is by no means
always due to exposure. Indigestion,
constipation, lack of scrupulous clean
illness, the unwise habit of sleeping in
much of the clothing worn during the
day, unaired bed chambers-all, or any
of these things may have far more to do
with your child's tendency to cold than
the keenest breath of the bracing winter
air. And in great measure these things
are under your control. Mothers should
understand that it is a fact, whether
they can see it or not, that numerous
colds and sore throats are directly
traceable to indigestion and dietetic
errors. Quantities of greasy food, fried
meats, pastry, and the like, ill-ventilated
rooms, and continued constipation, have
to answer for many cases of Group and
putrid sore throats. All these things
weaken the system and render it far less
able to resist changes of temperature.
Give every bedroom a thorough airing
every day, more especially if several
children are obliged to sleep together,
or with their parents. This is to be
avoided, if possible; if not, always lower

this cannot be done, raise it from below.

prolific source of colds. A child from

A NEW BANKRUPTCY BILL.
Points of the Draft Agreed on by the
Chamber of Commerce Committee.

The Committee on Bankruptcy ap-
pointed by the Chamber of Commerce
of New York in November have agreed
on report. 1t is accompanied by the
draft of bankruptcy bill which incorpo-
rates the most recent features of British
legislation with the Lowell bill as
adopted by the House last session. The
proposed procedure differs chiefly in
that it enables an honest debtor to OBJ
tain the protection and relief of the
court without being adjudicated bank
rupt.
On the presentation of a petition
either by the debtor or by a creditor the
Court makes a receiving order, SO as to
protect the estate, and general meeting
of creditors is held, at which the official
referee presides. The debtor presents
his accounts, and makes an offer. If the
creditors by special resolution accept
the proposal the matter is adjourned in
to court, where any creditor has right
to be heard in opposition. If the offer
is reasonable, and no offence under the
act can be proved against the debtor,
the Court approves the arrangement,
and afixes its seal to the proposal, which
thereupon becomes binding on all cred
itors. If the requisite majority do not &C
cept the offer, or if, on the examination
of the debtor, it appears that his failure
has been brought about by excessive
peasonal expenditure, or by gambling
in stocks or produce, or if he has pre-
ferred his relatives or friends, or any
creditor fraudulently, within the mean
ing of the act, an adjudication takes
place, and ordinary bankruptcy ensues.
This procedure, although taken imme-
diately from the English act of last ses-
sion, is in great part reproduction of
the French law. There is one important
difference; under the French law, every
failing debtor is arrested.
The proposed law is restricted to
traders only. All agricultural pursuits
which begin and end in ''the cultivation
of the soil and the preparation and vend-
ing of the produce thereof, " are excluded.
This restriction, according to the report,
is requisite, because eve cannot, as in
Great Britain, limit the operation of the
law to special or commercial communi-
ties,' but are compelled by the terms of
the Constitution to adopt one uniform
law for the whole country. The COM
mittee do not propose to interfere with
the homestead laws, because they
consider that "these are, in fact, con-
tract between the State and the settlers
which the central authority has no right
to impeach, - and they add: "We can
not consider on what principle of equity
a creditor can seize under fiat in bank
ruptcy what he cannot touch under an
execution at law"
