How to Divide a Cellar in the City.


In a cellar where there is a furnace
it is great help to household manage
ment to have a portion of the cellar
divided from the furnace portion by a
tight board partition, with a padlOcked
door opening into it. The boards used
may be rough and cheap, costing two
cents a foot but the partition must be
tight, so as not to admit the warm air
from the furnace. Under ordinary cir
cumstances the expense need not be
over ten dollars, and in many cases
even less.
In this cold cellar the vegetables and
apples, butter and preserves may be
kept, and even in the city the uncom-

brings, would return to the household.

The following extract from letter written
written by J. A. Starbuck, of Yorktown, Iowa,
opeaks for itself: 1.-TWO years ago, in harvest
time young man came in my store and said
he had been binding wheat during the fore
noon, and was so bad with diarrhoea and collie
pains, that he would have to lay off unless he
could get relief. ! took a bottle of your diaa-
rhpa remedy from the shelf; gave him dose;
sold him the bottle, and told him would give
the money back if it did no good. He came in
next morning and said the single dose did its
work so well that he not only kept up his
place binding during the afternoon but had
worked all night and had the price of the
dose I gave him been three dollars, it would
have been cheap. 1 will further say, keep on
with your good work You cannot recon-
mend your medicine to highly. Chamberlain

Power of a Pound of Coal.

A curious and interesting calculation
has been made by Professor Rogers, OF
Washington, on the dynamic power OF
coal According to the professor, a
single pound of good steam coal has
within it dynamic power equivalent to
the work of one man for one day.
Three tons of the same coal represents
a mans labor for a period of twenty
years, and one square mile of seam
of coal. having a depth of four feet
only, represents as much work as l, O0O,
600 men can perform in twenty years
Such calculations as the above may
serve to remind us how very wasteful
our methods of burning fuels must be,
in spite of all that has been done by in
ventors in the way of economy.-Ex-

THE SUBJECT OF CIRCULATION.
An Erroneous Idea About the Volume
Thereof-Sational Banks

An Erroneous Idea About the Volume
Thereof-National Banks.
The important subject of circulation,
the secretary says. has been unusually
prominent duringthe past twelve months.
The stringeucy in the money market dur
ing the summer and autumn of lS91. he
says, was relieved by the prompt aud eff
fective measures of his predecessor and
happily disappeared without producing
the grave consequences which were feared
by the public; but its existence, and the
widespread appre hension which it causet]
induced aIevival of the erroneous idea
that the volume of money in circulation
was not only inadequate TO the needs of
the country, but was very much less per
capita than during the socalled flush
times which followed the civil war.
Plenty OF Money in the Country.
The amount of money in circulation has
been very largely increased since the close
of the fiscal year The amount July l.
1891, was 81, ~ ~ 3 507 and the amount
per ctriJa was $23 IL. The return of gold
to the United States, the operation of the
silver note act. and disbursements by the
treasury on account of the Al per cent.
loan, pensions, etc, enlarged the volume
on Dec TO 81 81 25} U1d, and the per cap
ita amount to S24 3S
Indorses Lacey's Suggestions.
On the subject of national banks the
secretary invites favorable attention TO
the recommendations of the comptroller
that the present law be so amended as to
provide that no association shall be re-
quired to maintain a bond deposit of more
than 1900 to insure circulation; that
notes equal to the par value Of the bonds
SO deposited; that the monthly withdraw
al of bonds pledged to secure such notes
shall not exceed s., o0J, 900 in the aggre.
gate, and that the semi-annual duty on
circulation be so reduced as to equal K of
one per cent.
Eject of the Tariff Law.
OF the practical effect of the new tariff
law the secretary, after exhibiting the
figures relating to foreign commerce used
by the president in his message, says it
has reduced the price of sugar to the peo-
pie without conflict with the principle of
protection because we cannot raise near
all the sugar we need; that on articles ia
which we compete with foreigner coun-
tries it is a tax on the foreign producer.
who has to pay the duty il he wants to
compete with us in our own country, and
that comparison of the prices of goods
will prove the assertion.
Reciprocity, Imm grafton, Etc.
OF reciprocity the secretary says it has
already enlarged our trade with Latin
America several millions, although il
has been in force but few months. He
says it is imperative that some bar should
be put up against the immigration into
this country of European paupers, con-
victs and other undesirable classes but
that the law is defective, and congress
only can make it efficient. New legisla-
tion is needed also in regard to the Chi
nese If they are to be kept out of this
country.
