Kate Field, the well-known American
newspaper proprietor, has been writing
from England concerning ''the newly
erected Albert memorial statue in
Hyde Park. She regards it as ''the
most hideous thing the human eye ever
beheld," and says, as the bronze is gild-
ed, ''it is impossible to view the shining
mass when the sun falls on it" Miss
Field adds:
''From the back the statue looks like
a huge gilded pill, and is Familiarity
called Albert the Gilt They say when
the Prince of Wales first beheld it he
threw up his hands, exclaiming, My

How to Cool a Cellar.

A great mistake is sometimes made
in ventilating cellars and milk houses.
The object of ventilation is to keep
the cellars cool and dry; but this OBJ
ject often fails of being accomplished
by a common mistake, and instead the
cellar is made both warm and damp.
A cool place should never be ventilated
unless the air admitted is cooler than
the air within, or is at least as cool as
that, or a very little warmer. The
warmer the air the more moisture il
holds in suspension. Necessarily, the
cooler the air the more this moisture
is condensed and precipitated. When
a cool cellar is aired on warm day,
the entering air being in motion ap-
pears cool, but as it fills the cellars, the
cooler air with which it becomes mixed
chills it, the moisture is condensed, and
dew is deposited on the cold walls and
may often be seen running down them
in streams. Then the cellar is damp
and soon becomes moldy. To avoid
this the windows should only be open
ed at night, and late-the last thing be-
fore retiring. There is no need to fear
that the night air is unhealtful-it Is as
pure as the midday and is really drier.
The cool air enters the apartment dur
ing the night, and circulates through
it. The windows should be closed be-
fore sunrise in the morning, and kept
closed and shaded through the day.
If the air of the cellar Is damp, it may
be thoroughly dried by placing in it 4
peck of fresh lime in an open box, and
the National Builder adds, peck of
lime will absorb about seven pounds,
or more than three quarts of water,
and in this way cellar or milk house
may soon be dried, even in hottest

A Stick of I,icorice,

Black licorice is made from the Juice
of the 1icorice plant, mixed with starch
to prevent it from melting it hot wealth
er. The licorice plant grows for the
most part on the banks of the Tigris
and Euphrates rivers, which flow
through immense treeless prairies of
uncultivated land. The climate of
these great plains is variable. Half
the year is mild and pleasant, but for
three months it is very cold, and for
three months in summer hot winds
sweep across the country, raising the
temperature to hundred and four de-
greeS for weeks at a time.
The licorice plant is shrub about
three feet high, and grows without cul-
tivatiOn where it's roots can reach the
water. The usual time of collecting is
the winter, but roots are dug all the
year round. At first the root is full of
water, and must be allowed to dry,
a process which takes nearly a year.
1t is then cut into small pieces, from
six inches to a foot long. The good and
sound pieces are kept, and the rotten
ones are used for f1rewood. The licor-
ice is then taken in native river boats
of BassOra, whence it is shipped in
pressed bales to London.
AS the valley of the Euphrates con-
tanned one of the earliest civilizations
in the world, it is probable that ncor-
ice is about the oldest confection eX-
tant, and that the taste, which pleases
nearly all children to-day, was famil-
lar to the little brown girls and boys
of Babylon and Nineyeh three thous-
and years ago.

Celia Grey had not been officially On
gagged to her cousin, JaSk Lester, but
when the news arrived of the wreck of
his ship, life lost all it's SAVIOR. How
ever, she went to her cousin Susie's
wedding to act as bridesmaid, and the
news of Jacks disappearance was q
fortnight old when she got back to
Woodbury.. Here she learned that a
certain Miss Fanny Potter, the daugh-
ter of small tradesman, was posing as
the fiancee of the late Mr.. Lester, that
she possessed a ring he had given her
and was at present living with his par
entS.
From her mother Celia learned that
the impossible story was true. Wood
bury rang with the news. The Testers
were great people, the Potters were lit
tie ones. No one could understand why
Jack Lester should have made such a
trumpery choice or how Fanny, with
her blowsy beauty. had managed to
captivate him. Without the ring she
would hardly have persuaded any one
that she told the truth. Directly the
confirmation of his death arrived she
had put herself into mourning and
drawn down the parlor blinds, while
Mr.. and Mrs. Potter, with an air of
great surprise, spread the story of her
bereavement. They had not known of
any engagement, they said, until poor,
dear Fanny swooned at the news of the
wreck, and afterward exhibited her
ring. She nearly swooned again when
Colonel Lester called. She said he re-
minded her so strongly of her beloved
Jack.
Colonel Lester and his wife were ell
derly people, who led secluded life in
their beautiful old home. They saw
little of the world outside the Lang
holme gates. When Fanny's letter
reached them they had to make in
quiries about her, and the answers they
got were unpleasing. But in the first
stress of their great sorrow they would
have welcomed the Woodbury. sweep

SEVENTEENTH YEAR.
PEOPLE WILL TALK.

You may get through the world, but twill
be very slow,
If you listen to all that is said as you go;
You'll be worried and fretted and kept in
a stew,
For meddlesOme tongues must have some
thing to do,
For people will talk.
If quiet and modest, you'll have it pre-
That your humble position is only as
sumed;
You're wolf in sleeps clothing, or else
you're a fool,
But don't get excited, keep perfectly cool,
For people will talk.
If generous and noble, they'll vent out
their spleen,
You'll hear some loud hints that you re
selfish and mean.
If upright and honest, and fair as the
day,
They'll call you rogue in a sly, sneaking
way,
For people will talk.
And then if you show the least boldness
of heart,
Or a slight inclination to take your own
part,
They'll call you an upstart, conceited and
vain,
But keep straight ahead, don't stop to
explain,
For people will talk.
If threadbare your dress, or old-fashioned
your hat,
Some one will surely take notice of that
And hint rather strong that you can't pay
your way;
But don't get excited whatever they say,
For people will talk.
If you dress in the fashion don't think to
escape,
For they criticize then in a different
shape;
You're ahead of your means, or your
tailor's unpaid;
But mind your own business, there's
naught to be made,
For people will talk.
Now, the best way to do is to do as you
please
For your mind, if you have one, will then
be at ease;
OF course you will meet with all sorts of
abuse,
But don't think to stop them, it amt any
use,
For people will talk.

Joke on the Journalists.

Not very long ago the police made a
discovery of some nfhilistic plot in an
t-of-the-way corner of st. Peters

it. Off he went at once in search of the
house. He found it without much diff

session. "Can 1 come in?" he asked.
Certainly" said the officer. And the
correspondent entered. Having taken
good view of the surroundings, he
turned to go, but the officer barred the
way. "You can not pass, sir" he said.
''But you yourself said 1 might come
in." "Quite So" responded the police.

there he had to stop. Then he went to
the window and looked out with a ma

saw sight which filed him with joy.
Strolling down the street was Mr.. Dob

The imprisoned one hailed him.
'Hullo! Where are you going?" he
shouted Trying to find the nihilist
place" "Oh, this is it" Really? Can

a critical survey of the room, made his
notes, and then, turning to his friend
he suggested that they should go. Fail

there the police officer enlightened him.
The two correspondents spent the af-
