BUILDING OF CELLARS.

Valuable Suggestions for Enterprising and

Knowing that there are many young
farmers yearly beginning life. and also
that many valuable suggestions could
be given BY farmers who have had ex-

how built cellar under our kitchen.

THE FUNNY WINDOW PANE.

Bobby Speaks.
We have funny window PIANO
That makes all objects seem
Like topsy-turvy things we see
In some fantastic dream.
It shows me nature rs It's not
Gets all grotesquely wrong;
It makes the man who's very thin
Look broader than he's long;
It makes the corn-crib sadly warp;
It makes the pond hill;
It makes the fence that's long and straight
Just ripple like . rill;
It makes the cock an ostrich tall;
It makes the cat pard;
It makes the gardeners pleasant smile
A smile OF half yard
The bulldog is great hop-toad,
While in the sun he squats;
The horse looks crooked, with his legs.
Tied up in funny knots
And I'd be sorry II through life
Ny fate should be to pass
With eyes that could distort things like
That funny pane of glass.

DIED, MARCH %, 1888.
Morrison Remick Waite was the seventh
in the line of distinguished iurists who have
held the Chief Justiceship of the United
States. He was descended of English an
cestry, and the family coat-of-arms bears
the date of 1912. In the old State docu-
ments of England will be found the death
warrant of Charles l., signed by Thomas
Wayte, then a member of Parliament The
family removed to this country soon after
the Restoration. In the rural town of
Lyme, Conn, the old house still stands in
which the subject of this sketch was born,
on Nov. 49, 1916.
At the age of II he entered Yale College,
from which he graduated in 1887, in the
class which included William M. Evarts,
Edward Pierrepont, Prof. Benjamin Sill
man and other distinguished men.
Mr. Waite was a Wing until that party
disbanded, when he joined the Republican
party. He reluctantly became a candidate
for Congress in 1862 and later was the
nominee of the Administration Party"
but his canvasses were unsuccessful. Other
nominations and various appointments were
rendered him from time to time, all of which
be refused to accept.
The first position in which his ability at
tracted the attention OF the whole country
was that of counsel for the United States,
IN the tribunal of arbitration which met at
Geneva in 1912. He was associated in
this delicate negotiation with Caleb Cushing
and William M. Evarts. Their tact and
good judgment largely served to termi-
nate the difficulty arising out of our civil
war between the United States and the
United Kingdom. The year after his return
home, in 1873, he presided over the Consti-
tutional Convention of Ohio.
He was appointed Chief Justice by Presi-
de 1t Grant Jan 81, 1874, as the successor of
Chief Justice Chase
