UD-GrOund Cellar.

A farmer gives the following descrip-
ton of an outdoor cellar which he has
built:
An excavation was made the size de-
sired for the cellar, two feet deep, and
wall one foot thick, of brick well cement
ed, laid around outside, from the bottom
up one foot above ground. Double sllls
OF four by tour scantling were used. one
piece coming even with the surface OF the
outside wall and the other three inches
back from the inside surface; thus leav-
ing one inch space between the two pieces
used for stills.
The sides were then boarded up with
common lumber which had been brought
to thickness by passing it through
planning machine. On the two sides, the
boards used were but four feet long, the
ends long enough to run up and form the
gable After the outside was all put on,
strips of cloth were pasted over the cracks
on both sides, and then battens were nailed
on over these.
After the inside has been boarded up,
the cracks are covered on one side-as
but one side can be reached-wlth cloth
and cleais one inch thick and three
inches wide put on. The rafters were
of lumber one and one-half by six inches.
Double roof-boarding was used so as to
break joints thoroughly. and common
shingles were put on. The under sides OF
the rafters were boarded ever, cloths put
on, and cleats, the same as inside OF wall i;
then the whole interior is lathed upon the
battens, and "a heavy coat OF plaster put
on.
When the inside walls were finished,
they were straight from top to bottom; as
the stills were three inches back, the board
ing, battens, lath and mortar bring it out
even with the inside surface OF the brick
wall. Nothing is put between the two
walls, and therefore the cellar is dry and
cool in summer, and a perfect security
against frost in winter.
Double doors were made, one to swing
out and the other to swing in, and small
| double sashed window in the gable end,
which is sufficient for lighting the room.
Where the ground is low it would be best
not to dig into the earth, but have the eel
lar entirely above ground, unless thorough
drainage can be gwen. In any case the
bottom should be graveled and well &C.
mented. Tribune and Farmer.

Influence of Mind Over Body,

Mr. Crosse had been bitten severely BY
cat, which the same dav died from hydropho-
bia. He seems resolutely to have dismissed
from his mind the fears which must natural
ly have been suggested by these circumstan-
ces. Had he yielded to them, as most men
would, he might not improbably have sue
cumbed within a few days or weeks to an
attack of mnd-created hydrophobia-so to
de scribe the fatal alment which ere now has
been known to kill persons who had been bit
ten by animals perfectly free from rabies.
Three months passed, during which he en-
joyed his usual health. At the end of that
time, however, he felt one morning severe
pain in his arm, accompanied by severe
thirst. He called for water; but sat the in

cat. The agony of mind | endured for one
hour is indescribable; the contemplation of
such horrible death-death from hvdropbo-

DURING the progress of the cholera IN
France and Spain last year, the sta
tistical men were greatly surprised to
find that more single than married
men died OF the disease, q fact that
was accounted for on the supposition
that the married men, having better
care taken of them, recovered in great
er numbers than the bachelors, from
whom everyone fled in terror at the
first symptom. The cases of the two
classes are now reversed, and the col
lectors of facts and figures are puzzled
to account for the change. There may
be suggested two explanations for the
benefit ofthe scientists, equally worthy
of their attention and either of which
will satisfactorily account for the
phenomenon. In the first place, it is
possible that the single men liable to
take the cholera all died off during the
former visit of the epidemic, leaving
only the case-hardened old bachelors
who are impervious to everything.
This is one explanation, and, if it be
not satisfactory, it is possible that
the reason why more married than
single men die this year of cholera
may be found in statement similar
to the answer of the celebrated conun-
drum, why do white sheep eat more
than black sheep?

FIGHTING BIeEWER.
The Kansas Prohibition Law to be Tested
in Court.

LAWRENCE, Kas.. Sept. 8.-John
Walruff, a noted Kansas brewer, of
this place, was yesterday, on q petit
ton ofCounty Attorney French before
Judge Benson, enioined from themanu-
facture and sale of beer. Walruff has
property here in brewing works valued
at $4,000. For three years after the
prohibitory law went into effect, in
1880, he succeeded in evading it, only
suffering an occasional fine of S100.
Fines then became so numerous that
he could not stand them, and for a
time he quit the business. After a few
months the works, under a. relatives
management, commenced turning out
beer under the name of stomach in
vigorator.' Numerously applied fines
stopped this. Last May he petitioned
the probate Judge to allow him to
manufacture beer for the purposes set
forth in the law, and on being refused,
May u issued a proclamation through
the press setting the law OF the
state on prohibition at defiance.
He gave notice that he would begin
making and selling beer at once, and
until to-day has been unmOlested.
The court was to-day asked to per-
petually enjoin the owners OF the
works from using them for the manu-
featuring of malt or distilled liquors.
On petition Of Walruff's attorneys the
court temporarily enioined the de
fendant, giving his attorneys until
Thursday next to file argument against
such permanent action 1t is under
stood Atty.-Gen. Bradford is looking
after the prosecution. The case will
be made test one on the injunction
clause. Walruff claims to have S1O,-
600 at his disposal from the Nation
al Brewers Association.
