THE TOWER CT BABEL.
The Ancient Structure To be Reproduc,
at tho Worlds Fair.

Ano Antitnt oh dthuIt W Do reproduced
at tho Worlds Fair.
A reproduction OF the famous Tower
Of Babel, as it stood in the great city of
Babylon 1900 years ago, will be q fea.
ture OF the Worlds Fair in Chicago.
The Smithsonian Institution at Wash
ington is to supply the model, which
will be constructed under the SUPER
vision of DR.. Haupt. the distinguished
Oriental scholar, and upon his plans.
Erected on precisely the scale OF the
celebrated original, it will ascend in
seven diminishing stories, impre ,siye
from without. while its interior will be
o museum exhibiting life and affairs as
they wee in the mighty empire of the
ancient Assyria, with the most remark
able assemblage ever got together OF
art works, books, and all sorts of other
curiosities dug ont of the vast mounds,
which are now all that remains of Baby
lon and Ninevah. Already Washing

and elevation OF the model, ten feet in
height, which will soon be 10 readiness for
ship ing to the exposition, where it has
but to be copied by enlargement Final
action in this matter has not yet been
taken by the management OF the fair,
but there is understood TO be no doubt
that the scheme as above outlined will
be carried out.
The intention is to construct the
building not Of bricks, like the original
tower, inasmuch as that would be too
costly, but OF iron and according to the
best methods of modern engineering.
One disadvantage OF ancient Babylonian
architecture was that it was particularly
unstable. The houses, palaces and
temples, however magnificent and ex.
pensively built, being made of sun
dried brick, with burned brick only for
facing, always tumbled down within at
most century. Such was the tate of
the Tower OF Babel itself, though it was
rebuilt at least once by ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
The city of Babylon, which had 2,O00,-
900 inhabitants and covered twice the
area of London, stood upon an immense
plain of clay very suitable for bricks,
and there was no stone Of any kind to
be had. Myriads of slaves, toiling un-
der merciless drivers, built the aston
ishing public works executed by the
kings of Babylon, just as was the case
with the pyramids Of Egypt. - ST

The Wearing Of Fur.

It is significant of the moderate
climate OF New York City that the fur
trimmed overcoat for men is regarded as
an oddly and an affectation. 1t is
usually the remnant and Renaissance of
life elsewhere. Often enough the
wearcr is foreigner. The German at
home, when he begins to prosper, en-
velops himself in skins as an outward
and visible token of his social import
ance. The moro fur he has wrapped
about him the greater his own self
appreciation. A man who carries about
fur coat or fur cap naturally-like
Canadian, for exsmple-and wears them
10 time of need only, presents a very
different picture from small man with a
big garment in comparatively mild
weather. ---Nsw York Star.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
DUST BATES FOR POULTRY.

Domestic fowls often have very filthy
quarters in winter, and breed vermin de-
spite the severe cold weather. One cor
ner Of their covered house should be
kept filed with coal ashes or road dust,
where they can roll and cover themselves
with the fine powder. 1t is sure death to
lice, and if the dust bath Is always kept
in good working condition lice will sell
dom appear on roosts or in nests. There
is IN most farnhouses at least one coal
stove whence coal ashes may be obtained.
Wood ashes are not so good. The pot
ash in them uniting with oil and damp
ness sometimes breeds spontaneous com
bustion. Many farm buildings are de-
stroyed by putting wood ashes in bar
rels. Coal ashes will not make a fire
unless freshly sifted, and having fresh
living Goals in them.-Boston Cultirator.

PROPER DEPTH FOR CELLARS.


There is a certain depth in the soil
where the temperature is even through
the whole year. This point varies very
little from seven feet from the surface,
and below this an excavation from which
the air can be excluded will be the best
place for cellar for keeping articles
which are perishable in warm tempera-
ture. A cellar dug to depth of twelve
feet, and having sub-cellar under the
upper one, and this being protected by
house over it, is the best place for keep
ing milk in winter or summer. 1t makes
safe storage for fruits and vegetables or
for those domestic supplies which re-
quire such protection. 1t can easily be
kept safe from dampness by means of
small quantity of quicklime in di3
which will absorb the moisture; and L
purity of the air may be preservedPy
washing the brick or stone walls th
fresh lime occasionally. The upper art
of the cellar will afford every convent
ence for the dairywork, as churning etc.
No part of such cellar, that is below
the surface aud in contact with the soil,
should be made of timber. -Mu York

To Prevent Consumption.

1t Is now pretty certain that consump-

and not inherited, though we may in
herit feeble constitutions and render its
attacks more certain. DR.. Chapen SAYS:
"The contagion must be destroyed. For
tunately, in this disease there is no need
of isolation; disinfection is enough. The
consumptive patient gives off the poison
only in the sputum, or perchance the
other excretia, if the disease extends be-
yond the lungs. The virus is not given
off from these while moist We must
therefore disinfect all sputum at once
with merUuric bichloride
Cloths must be used instead of hand
kerchiefs, and then burned; or if the lat
ter are used they should be often
changed, and Immediately put into BIZ
chloride solution and boiled. Bed linen
should be treated in the same way. Ere
quently disinfection of the entire person
and fumigation of the apartment would
be safe additions to the preventive meas
ures.' Of course, in addition to all this,
wise physical culture must be given to
our boys and girls. Corsets must be
abandoned and love for out door life
encouraged. Herald of Health.

The truth is James Redpath was a
man of intense feelings and strong
sympathies, which were always ready
to go out to all whom he believed to bs
wronged and oppressed. He was an
ardent abolitionist. Few men ever
labored more for the cause Of the Irish
people. His regard for President Davis
was Of the same sort, 1t was sympathy
for the one southern man who was dis
franchised and prescribed for political
act in which he had been engaged in
common with many thousands Of his
countrymen. Mr.. Redpath in all he did
was consistent with his own ardent
nature and overpowering tenderness for
the weak and the oppressed. He never
violated its unities, no matter how
strange his conduct in some instances
may have appeared, He was true to his
