Cooling the Cellars.

A great mistake is sometime,
made in ventilating cellars and
milkhouscs. The object Of VENT
lation is to keep the cellar cool and
dry, but this object often fails Of
being accomplished by u common
mistake and instead, the cellar il
made both warm and damp. A
cool place should never be vcntilat-
ed, unless the air admitted is cool.
er than the air within, or is At
least as cool rs that, or a very little
warmer. The warmer the air, the
more moisture it holds in suspen-
sion. Necessarily, the cooler the
air, the more this moisture is con-
denscd and precipitated. When a
cool cellar is aired on a warm day,
the entering air being in motion
appears cool; but as it fills the Gel
lar. the cooler air with which it he
comes 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. To
avoid this, the windows should on
~ be opened at night, and late
the last thing before retiring.
There is NO need to fear That the
night air is unhealtllful-it is rs
pure as the air of midday, and is
really dricr. The cool air enters
the apartment during the night and
circulates through it. The win.
dows should he closed before sun
rise in the morning, and kept clos
ed and shaded through the day.
If the air Of 4 cellar is damp, it may
be thoroughly dried by placing IN
it. peck Of fresh liue IN an open
box. A peck Of lime will absorb
about seven pounds, or more than
three quarts of water, and in this
way cellar or milk room may
soon be dried, even in the hottest
weather.-American Agricnlturist

HeIe arc doUDtIcSS many 81 our
readers who would read with inter-
e,t 4 brief description of the dad
lands Of Dakota. They are stu
ated principally along the Chcy-
cnnc, Grand and little Missouri
rivers. They are from two or
three to, say, twenty-five miles in
width. In the long ago the val

in time became coal, the veins lie
ing in some instances twenty Id
feet in depth. Either from sppn-
fancous combustion or from cleo
tri.:ity, fires were started in these
veins, and they gradually burned
ont, restoring in part the Old wa
ter courses by means of water in
these newly formed basins. ANY,
one familiar with the country can
realize how quickly the gullies
thus formed could be widencd 50
is to embrace the vast tract now
covered by the ''l..h lands,'' Snllv
describes them rs ':resembliny the
bottom Of hell with the fires put
out" Looking upon them, here
You zee the patches Of Stag; there,
great bonldcrs, showing nn,nistak-
able evidence Of great heat; and on
every hand st.ori.. or burned clay,
resembling broken brick. Where
the fires were checked by the cav
ing earth and the coal did not burn
mounds 200 or 800 feet in height
stand. Some Of them contain sew

top, and have the same grasses and
vegetation aud are the same height
a. the table lands OH either side Of
the ssbad lands Some of the
mounds are conical shape, and
some resemble old castles or mon
a>tcrics in ruins.
AT other points there are simply
huge piles Of clay, and ut the others
great bars Of gravel, scoria, or sand,
without a particle Of vegetation. At
some points the cratcrs formed by
the burning coal beds have been
filled with drift or wash, and you
/; find from ten to forty acres of the
richest patches Of pasture lands.
Standing upon the table lands, you
look down upon the ssbad lands"
and if you see them in the moon
light, You are reminded of 4 city
in ruins. You note the rcscm-
blance to broken walls and totter-
ing chimneys, the blackened piles
Of rubbish, the broken brick and
mortar, with occasional grass plats.
As You contemplate the scene and
take in its grandeur, You can not
fail to see how they have bccn
formed. Perhaps some ono familiar
with the country will take you to
the burning bnttcs, where you can
watch the process Of s'bad land
formation. Within the writer's
knowledge, those near Medora
have been burning for the past
eleven years, and during that time
/ only few hundred feet of the
butte have disappeared. The butte
bluff has been burned mp, carried
away in dust by the wind, or was.
ed away, leaving All additional sec
ton Of the "bad lands,' presenting
all the characteristics Of those
formed ages ago. Where tho
mounds are, the coal did not burn,
and may be mined, The chad
lands arc full Of rich plateaus
and afford the best shelter fol

"You want to abolish banks,
believe" said an intelligent banker
lately to an advocate Of the cur
rcncy Reform. Some years age
Mr.. Blaine delivered an elaborate
speech, which was mainly devoted
to a defense Of the banks against
the greenback party. It was sent
all over the country. incense
qnential and irrelevant rs it was it
sowcd broadcast the false accuse
ton which the author knew to he
untrue. The some old falsellood
is reported continually and believ-
cd by some. Now we have to say
that We recognize banks as a part
Of the necessary machinery of
society, and bankers as profession
quite rs worthy of confidence and
esteem as any other class. Our
fight is against the grant, the ex-
elusive privilege accorded to them
Of borrowing money at one per cent
We demand that everybody who
can furnish the security shall he
allowed to obtain money on equal
terms from the primary source
whence It flows Aqt among the
people. We deny that It is any
part Of Legitimate banking to issue
notes that circulate rs money,
whether endorsed by government
or otherwise.-Our Country.

Tho Gondonsrs Of venice.

The Venetian gondoiiers are q hardy,
active, CHEEKY set Of men, civil and
obliping, limbed like Greek statues
and graceful as gr]eyhonnds. John OF
Bologna might have nodded his III
comparable Mercury from II Of these
1.-the Iimbed, sinewy oarsmen. Their
hue development of form is due to
their occupation, their habit of rowing
standing. developing and exercising
every muscle in the frame from throat
to heel. AS a class they are the clean
est set Of men to be found among the
lower orders OF Europe. The watery
ways ON which their days are spent,
send up no cloud OF dust or ashes OF
mud to sully their neat and picturesque
attire.
Their hands and faces, bronzed to as
1usky a tint as the sun and the wind
san impart to the human epidermis, and
their crisp, curly dark locks, are as free
from soil and as well kept as are those
Of any high-bred gentleman. The cos
tune of the Rondolier of the better
class would be a handsome II to

very characteristic, and yet simple and
sufficiently in accordance with IA gentle
mans every day suit to be worn with
out awkwardness. 1t consists OF a
loose double breasted jacket, of dark
blue cloth, with trousers to match.
The Jacket Is closed with two rows of
large, highly-pollshed brass buttons,
and is bound around the edges AID
around the cuffs and collar and pockets
with cloth of a blue, two shades lighter
than the hue of the garment itself. a
glazed sailors hat, around the crown of
which is passed a ribbCa of the lighter

forms the headgear.
Sometimes a felt hat, with a melon
shaped crown, the brim curying oyer
the brow, and at the back of the head,
Is adopted, but the ribbon is never alb
sent. A sash OF cloth, matching the
Jacket and trousers, and with long ends
finished with wide worsted fringe, is
hed around the waist, the ends falling
st the left side. Sometimes the jacket
Is piped with red, or with the same daIk
blue as the cloth whereof it is composed,

Cornelius Vanderbilts palace Zen
Fifth a~yenuo) is now understood to DO
Tor sale, hut ss yet no price has been
announced. II any reader, however,
should make an Offer Of half a million
IL miRht be accepted, and even then
IL would be selligz below cost. Why,
the land coat $685.. 000. When Corne-
Inns selected this corner it was occu-
pied by two elegant dwellings for
which be paid the above sum, and
tneu had them demolished IN order to
make room for the palace which was
three years In construction. BY the
Time he got fairly in occupation he
became a heavy Wall street specula-
tor, and, no doubt, hoped to make
enough to pay for the palace. In.
stead Of that, however, he only sunk Il
large part Of his pstrimony, and is
nov SO deeply involved as to require
the assistance of ms father. The
latter. no doubt, regrets having built
a palace, since this example probably
ed Cornelius into his extravgsnce.
These Vanderbilt houses cost not less
than 81, 900, 600, and it will be a long
time before such an outlay will be
squalted.
What a difference in taste is di-p,ayed
by another millionaire who stands
alone IN the ranks OF wealth, at least in
love of horses. This is no temporary
fancy. Had TINS been the case it would
have passed away. Thirty years have
been sufficient to prove it TO be a ruling
passion. Bonner does not crave a pal
ace like Vanderbilt, being satisfied to
excel him in horse flesh. On this point,
indeed, he has always astonished the
public. When he paid 80, 600 for Lam
tern every one was astonished. That
was twenty-five years ago, however, aud
since then he has invested hall a mil
hon in the same manner The interest
On this investment is $500 a week, and
the cost of Keeping the animals Is an
equal sum. Had Bonner been like
Aston, he would have put his monty
INTO land, ana (taking interest into
consideration he would in that case he
richer by a million and a half, Had
he been like Lenox, he would have III
vested in rare books and literary curl
ogiLies, Had he resembied Commodore
Vanderbilt, he would have gone into
stocks and become a power III Wall
street. None of these things, however,
moved him, He kept aloof from other
attractions. He owns no stocks and no
rare books, and only real estate suffi'
cient for his own use. The horse is his
passion, and he has shown the mastery
Of the latter to a degree unparalleled in
the history of the turf. How strange
that a man who began life in this city
as a %iourneyman printer should thus,
as Shakespeare says, witch the world
with noble ~horsemanshlp.

The following method Of tractngs on
glass for lanterns is said to be satisfac-
tory: A piece of finely ground glass Is

draw on the prepared surface with a
hard and finely pointed black lead pen

the finest details of any engraving over
which it may be placed can be seen

been finished, the plate is washed with
water. in order to remove the glycerine,
and dried. A thia coat OF Canada bal

Sea bathing, says DR.. Amat, has
proved of great benefit in many cases OF
disease of the eye. The improvement
appears to be due to two causes. l.
The influence which such a course has
upon the general health by curing arc
mia and elevsting the tone of the sys-
tenn, since sea bathing is in the highest
degree a restorative. 9. Sea water. and
occasionally also the atmosphere OF the
sea, has a local irritant action which
should be watched, since it is most ser
viceable when there is a chronic, torpid
and iudolent Inflammation, while il is
exceedingly dangerous when the infam-
nation is of an acute kind.
