D,SPOSING OF THE ASHES.

A Neat and Convenient Way of Keeping
the Unsightly Heaps Out OF the Way.
There must be provision made for the
ashes which are produced during the
winter. If YOU live in large city this
IS an easy matter, as the city carts take
AWAY ali refuse matter at least once a
week. If there is no such provision,
hnd the ashes must accumulate through
the winter, arrange some place in the
cellar or yard where they can be kept
I'm a compact manner. Nothing gives
house more forlorn, untidy look than
hea ps of ashes in the yard. and when
all the other refuse of the house is
added to this the sight becomes almost
nnen6ura BILE. No amount of adorn-
ment on the inside of the home can off
set this blot If the ashes are taken
uway once a week -four barrels will an
bwer They must be renewed several
times during the winter, as the ashes
dry and loosen the slaves.
If. however, the ashes and other ref
use must be kept in the yard a large
bin can be constructed at a slight eX-
pense. Have the bin made long, the
back higher than the front Put a
large swinging door at one end. This
is to be used when the bin is emptied
in the spring. Have several hinged
covers for the bin. Paint this struct-
ure color that blends with the house,
fence etc, dark green being appro-
pirate The paint is necessary to pre-
serve the wood and will make the place
less conspicuous, In the spring this
bin can be cleaned out, and one or two
barrels left in one end to be used for
coal ashes, or any other refuse that
must be carted off from time to time.
The other end can be used for garden
tools. IL fast-growinE running vines
are planted at the end of this bin It
may be converted into thing of beauty

idea Of poor railway man of the pres

Yet the conviction remained with
him that money thus gained would
bring no happiness, and when sending

depend on hers, and on the day when
Scott was to call for an answer he had
received from her a letter. which was
all that lovers heart could desire.
But since. carly morning the New
foundland had hung about him con-
stantly with dropping tail and implor-

low by the time MIR. Sydney's manager
arrived.
He was kindly sort of person, and
had become friendly with Nesbit dur

sat down to . comfortable tea before

PUBLISHING THE BANNS.
Tho Peculiar Mistake OF Sexton Cause
tho Postponement OF . Wedding.

Hhc Peculiar Mistake OF q Sexton Causes
tho Postponement OF = Wedding.
A few years ago ludicrous, albeit
rexatious, incident occurred at a church
in Larkhall A rustic couple, after
having had the bauns published the
prescribed number of times, proceeded
ITO the church to be joined in holy we'd
bock. The service was conducted with
out hitch until the officiating clergy
man arrived at that part where he
asked: william Wisher, wilt thou
have this woman to be thy welded
wife?" when the bridegroom replied
with some astonishment that his name
was not William Wisher.
The ceremony was, OF course, sus-
pended. and on investigation being
made as to the cause of the mistake it
itranspired that the bridegroom had
written to the sexton of the church re-
1uesting him to have the banns pub
lished, and concluded his letter thus:
$50 no more from your well wisher and
Mary Williams" The sexton, thinking
that William Wisher was the name of
the intending benedict, published the
rbanns accordingly, and the disappoint-
ed couple were compelled to await the
publication of the banns in their proper
names.
Some years ago middled-aged agri-
cultural laborer called upon the session
clerk of Alloa and asked him what the
charge was for publishing the cries
j. e.. banns of marriage-three times on
the same Sunday. "a pound" replied
the clerk. Aye said the other, ''an'
what dye TAX when We TAX two Sum
days to do't?" Half guinea" was
the reply. "An' what dye charge
when ye TAX three Sundays to do't?"
was the rustic's next query. "Seven
and six" answered the clerk, with an
amused air. Aye, man." rejoined the
querist, Il see; the langer ye TAX to
dae't the cheaper it gets. Just cry

A MAN MIsJUDcED.

The world gees by, and fancies he Is cold.
Self wrapt in coils Of egotistic thought
Fettered with links Of subtle cobweb,
wrought
By selfish meditation. Men have told
Each other lsughingly that once he sold
His heart for love Of knowledge-that he
bought
A calm content $50 oft and vainly soughG
By breaking overy dear affections hold
They read him lightly; he has never known
The loose emotions that can weep at VIII.
The void that makes each passing wind Its own:
Yet in his breast are caverns hard 70 fill
Not to be fathomed by the careless stone
OF those that cast to show their petty skill
He is OF alien character TO theirs
Who brand him with their foolish, worthless
scorn:
His careless seeming is vesture worn
To hide the troubled front OF many cares;
Beneath the cloak OF callousaess he bears
A beating heart, with sorrow often torn:
He las o burden heavy TO be bOrne
Oflove and sympathy: his thoughts are pray'rA
When most he seems unheedful he is sad
For that vast tronble which is lfes below
Longing to teach the fearful to be glad.
The helpless shopeful-wearying TO know
What food for famished spirits may be had
What solace for the mass Of human woe

ST.. PAUL, Feb. At is stated as a
result of the tTanscontinental confer
ence, the new rate sheets will show a
reduction in st. Paul-Spokane rates Of
7 to 10 per cent on the old tariffs. The
present rate sheet is made up Of ten
Subdivisions, five Of which are classes
and five are commodity rates. The
suppositiOn is that the 10 per cent. re-
duction will apply to classes and the 7
per cent. to commodities. Under the
old arrangement the same rates were
applied to Spokane as to Portland, the
whole territory west of the former city
being covered by blanket rates. Siren
uuus opposition was made To this dis
elimination by the Spokane people,
with the result that the Interstate
commerce commission has decided
that the railroads should concede them
IS per cent on through rates. 1t has
not been found practicable 10 grant
