Regulating the Churn.

i great mistake is sometimes
made in ventilating cellars and
and milk-houses. The object of ven
tilation is to keep the cellars cool
and dry, but this object often fails
Of being accomplished by a COM
mon mistake, and instead the cellar
is made both warm and damp. A
cool place should never be ventila-
ted. unless the air admitted is cooler
than the air within, or is at least as
cool as that, or a very little warmer. |
The warmer the air the more mois-
turc it holds in suspension. Neccs-
sarily, the cooler the air the more
this moisture is condensed and pre-
I cipitatcd. When Il cool cellar is
aired on & warm day, the entering
air being in motion appears cool but
as it fills the cellar the cooler air
with which it becomes mixed chills
it. the moisture is condensed, and
dew is deposited on the cold walls,
and may often be seen running
down them in streams. Then the
cellar is damp, and soon becomes
moldy. 70 avoid this the windows

HOME AGAIN.

The maiden walks the strand no more,
Enjoying the ocean breeze,
Where the tiny wavclets kiss the shore,
And the sand is alive with floas
No more in a suit ofblue or drab
She into the water goes
She fears no more the voracious crab
That sought to dcyour her toes.
She is done for the while with seaside
hops,
Those innocent designations
She has turned her back on dudes and
fops,
And given up beach flirtations.
The maiden is back from her summcrine
Tohomc and its dear delights
Back to the garden gate to swing
With her beau through the autumn
nights.

An incident of the BAH.

See your stately Uncle Thomas
Smiling on the bellies and beaux,
On his lips building promise,
In his button-hole a rose.
See them all his right hand shaking,
Deeming it Il precious boon;
Pressure giving him and taking
While they wait their iiddlers' tune,
In the ballroom seem them standing,
Uncle Thomas looking on;
Hear the callers voice commanding
Now the shaking feet are gone.
Uncle Thomas is OIL duty
And.his eyes with soft carcss,
Linger on Wisconsin beauty
In her dazzling ballroom dress.
Ha! but see! your unclo'5 lending
To messenger his car,
And his optics are distending-
Is it joy or is it fear?
He has heard the flying rumor
That the President is i'll,
And he's thinking of that tumor
Called the civil service bill.
Thinking how, We're he physician
To the Dame Democracy,
He would, with one deep inciaion,
All the mugwump virus free.
But, alas for good intending,
For, betwixt myself and you,
Grover Cleveland's health is mending
And the rumor is untrue.

make himself perfectly at home so
the morning after his arrival he
withdrew from the breakfast table

commenced to unpack his books
preparatory to a good days study.
Everything was at last arranged to
his satisfaction, but somehow his
thoughts We're strangely wander
ing this day, although not a
sound disturbed the coolquiet Of
his surroundings. A pair of blue
eyes seemed to glance mockingly
from the musty page he fain would
master, and he caught himself re-
poating aloud the old-fashined name
Of "Marthy," which took unto itself
the sweetest Of sounds by reason Of
its connection with so pretty an
owner. Suddenly, with a thud,
the book fell from his hand, as, eX-
claiming By Jove! that's her
voice." Paul Dorsey, with one stride
was at the window making sad hav-
oc of the dainty dimity curtains
with clumsy hands.
Martha, accompanied by Il tall
