Many cellar stables are so dark and musty as to Do entirely unsuitable for the housing of stock. This often comes from water draining in through the walls from the caves on the upper side. or surf-c7 ~.,'a~ that is allowed to collect and run through the wall. This can be easily remedied by draw ing away the surface water and plac- ing spouting on the barn to carry off the drip.

Machinery.

The Introduction of labor-saVing machinery has not been an unmixed blessing. It has concentrated farm work, making the busy season busier aud the dsll season duller. It has not choapened the expense of farming so much az might be supposed, for wbile it has decreased the amount of hand labor it has increased the idle time Of both the farmer and his help.

SETTLEMENT OF QUESTION THAT HAS PUz
FLED THE CUSTOMS OFFICERS.
There has been some doubt in the Custom House

from Assistant Secretary Spaulding:

the Lowell Manufacturing Company, dated Boston,
Mass, March "a, and also from the Hon. William
Lawrence dated Beefontaine, Ohio. March 10, in
regard to the classfcatons of imported woods under
act Of october, 1890. In view Of the representations
made in the above communications IL Is suggested that
on future mportatons of sorted woods made at your
port you the with twice the duty TO which
to their remedy II any, under the provision OF section
ID of the act Of June 10, 1890
Paragraph 393 Of the Mckinley act, referred TO In
tho foregoing letter, reads in part as follows
The duty upon wool which shall be Imported In
any other than ordinary condition. or which shall be

sesscd amounting to three times or more than that

its being sorted, etc.
In accordance with these instructions, Collector En-
hart has been levying the additional duty on WOODS
since March 90 Special Deputy Collector Couch said
Yesterday The condition Of affairs is this: When

CHARLES RASMUSSEN WAS DRUNK AND MADE
NO EFFORT TO SAVE HIS COMPANION.
Close to the steamship Colorado, which is being
repaired at the Morgan Iron Works at Ninth-st. and
the East River, a woman was drowned late ON Sunday
night, and her drowning was so nearly like murder
that Charles Rasmussen, carpenter employed on the
vessel, was locked up for examination yesterday.
Rasmussen is Norwegian thirtyone years old. He
left the steamship on Sunday, with his weeks wages
In his pocket, and went to a "dve' in Oiver-st.,
where he spent most of his money for liquor Among
the dssipated women who drank at his expense were
Elizabeth Elliot and Mary Lopez, of No. 40 Ohver-st.
They In HIS company when he started TO return
TO the steamship late at night, and they were too
drunk to have clear idea Of their movements.
Rasmussen led them to the dock where the steamship
was rloored and tried to induce them to walk across
the narrow gangpank to the vessel. They held back
being made afraid by unsteady motion Of the plank
as the steamship was rocked by the tide. Rasmussen
caught hold Of the Elliot woman's arm and dragged her
half way across the plank while she struggled to free
herself. Then she stumbled and fell of the plank
into the water between the dock and the vessel she
uttered scream as she went down.
Rasmussen stood like one dazed, while Mary Lopez
cried for help. Hans Jacobson, Waterman on the
vessel swung his lantern the rail and inquired
what was wrong. When he understood that a woman
was drowning he threw a rope down beside the gang
plank and shouted to the woman to seize IL, but only
a gurgle was heard from the water and then all was

made search for the body in the water but the tlde

it's Just the reverse-to pay a

Nevertheless, that's what's done by
the proprietors of DR.. Sage's Ca

It's faith in their medicine that's

thousands of the worst cases, where
everything else failed. You can be
cured, too. If you can't, you get
