How to store Onions.

Onions require to be kept in cool
and dry place, but free from frost
Wick tells in his illustrated monthly
that there is probably no better way tc
keep them than the one usually adopted
of storing them in the barn. A layer
of hay is spread on the barn floor Of
sufficient thickness to guard against
frost from the cracks below-a layer
foot thick when pressed down would
be safe one. The onions are spread
out over the hay and then covered with
thick layer of hay or straw. When the
onions are pulled, which should be in
dry time, they should be allowed to lie
on the ground two or three DAYS to par
tally dry off. They can be spread oul
in any dry. cool place until severe
weather makes it necessary to pu;
them into winter quarters for protee.

A Useful Attachment for Homemade
Uot-Water Incubators.
As many OF our readers are using
the hot-water, homemade incubator,
the attachment of regulator will be
favored by some. AS the hot-watcr
incubator cools very slowly regu-
lator can only allow of the escape Of
the heated air. AS the water in the
tank affects the heat in the egg cham
Der more when the animal heat OF the
chicks is increased, regulator will not
sully serve to prevent changes, but iC
will make an excellent indicator, as it
can be observed from the top of the in.
cubator.
The regulator given is one OF the
simplest, and can be attached to any
hot-watcr incubator, or may even be
attached to lamp II it is to "trip" or
shut down the flame. We are indebted
to Mr. J. II. Zeigler, Port Carbon, Pa,
for the design.

In 1871, after the great fire, he left

rooms in one of the poorest and rough

His first publications were prepared
only for his own schools; then, to
cheaper expense, he solicited orders
from others. This was the beginning
of wonderful growth and popularity,
which, in sixteen years, has made his
name household word.

Tho Philosonhica1 Fad.

Possibly it is the lingering influence
of the Puritan maxim that whatever is
pleasurable is wrong, and that rest Is
incidence, that impels the American to
make his vacation a change Of Occupa-
ton, and to seek to Improve every
moment of his time. Certainly i'll no
other way can we account for the deter
mination with which the man or woman
who ought to bathe his or her tired
mind in rest irritates it with lectures,
and plunges into summer schools as if
they We're summer pools. The tired
school teacher, who ought to bend all
his energies to doing nothing, will sit
for hours on bench i'll u grove to listen
to u college professor, who ought to be
idle, too, lecture ON Platos self efface-
ment or Socrates's synthesis.
We have not the slightest desire to
disparage the excellence of such sum
mer schools; we only point to their sue
cess as indicating a development of the
national temperament and the national
desire for improvement. Possibly at
tendance on them is only a compromise
between this temperament and the
human craving for rest, and that the
man who sits apparently wrapt in ad-
miratiOn of Professor Strawthrasher' an
alysis of Plato's self etfacement is send
ing his thoughts far distant and is really
resting them in a way very uncompli
mentary to that learned lecturer. Let
us hope he is.-Boston Transcript.

An Imnrnred shnttle.

A shuttle manufacturer in Massa-
chusetts has effected an improvement in
that mechanism which promises to be of
considerable practical value in the Oper-
ations of wooden mills. In lieu of the
ordinary hinged spindle for receiving
and holding the bobbin of yarn, a short
rigid spindle is employed in combination
with two holding jaws, one above and the
other below the head Of the bobbin; the
latter they clasp and securely hold in a
central position, a single spiral spring
being arranged in the base of the shut
tie so as to exert an equal pressure on
the bObbin holding jaws, between which
it is placed. AS result of this unique
construction all splitting of the bobbins
arising from the use of the long pointed
hinged spindle is Obviated, with a conse-
quent saving of waste yarn. The trouble
from the breaking of this yarn by the
canting of the spindle point in the weav
ing operation is also overcome.-New
York Sun.

An Importnnt Discoyery.

German investigation proves that acid
solutions will convert common sawdust
into a material firm in texture and so
extremely hard as to be impenetrable
by either a nail or a gimlet. 1t is also
more impervious to the action of the
elements than any other known mate
rial used for building purposes, con-
crete natural stone and ordinary build
ing metals not excepted. Besides the
above excellent qualities, which of
course will make it rank high in the
estimation of contractors and builders,
it has another point that will make it
worthy of praise when finally adopted
that of being practically fireproof, speci-
mems of boards made from it having
been subjected to an extraordinary de-
gree of heat for upward of an hour with
out warping or changing its texture i'll
the least.
1t is claimed for it that it will be
stronger than wood for joists and grid
ers, and, above all, that it can be manu-
factured at such a slight cost as to bring
it into competition with the more COM
mon building stuffs.-St. Louis Repub-

dropping into the plate buttons or pep

these and other such like votive offer
ings occasionally come our way. On
one occasion a mild hint was given to a
dirty looking verger when small coin
was carefully wrapped up in a bit of
paper inscribed, "For bath for a prom
inent church official" On another occa-
sion, when the officiating clergyman had
been somewhat bungling through diff
fcult litany, a similar piece of paper was
marked, "For a singing lesson for the
curate."
After a somewhat rambling discourse
from one of my colleagues, who shall of
course be nameless, the church warden
told me that a man at the bottom Of the
church, when he offered him the plate,
took out a sixpence and looked at it rue
fully, and then cast it in with the re-
mark, "Well, you shall have it, old fel'

Among the latest fancies in photOgra-

of a walking stick with ebonized handle,

wide silver band and accompanied by
all the necessary apparatus for making

which connects with a spring and pin

Even smaller than this is the pocket
book camera, which makes picture of

in use folds up in an ordinary lady's
purse about 3 inches long, 81 inches
wide and a inch thick. The lens is an

brilliantly CoIored Fish.

The bottom of the ocean is magni6-
cent with its starfish and sea pad; some
in rich purple and shedding a soft
golden green light, while others send
out silver flashes, and the lamp fish car
ries on its head at night a golden light.
Another fish seems to be decorated with
pearls, and it is evidently the fashion
there to be brilliant in some way. Even
crabs in hot climates seem to set them
selves ON fire, and when captured and
teased they blaze all over with indigna-
ton.
A species Of the shark, too, is intense
ly brilliant at night, and one that was
drawn up shone like a splendid lamp for
some hours after it was dead. Natural
lists have long been at work. on this
curious subject, and the source Of the
Illuminating power is supposed to be
contained in little sacks or cells in the
body Of the animal. .-Harpers Young
