How q Bachelor QuIeted Noisy Young
Nephew.
Bachelors are not usually credited
with much knowledge of the care of
children, but 1t is evident that they
sometimes have original methods. A
faiddle-aged gentleman, of that state
in life, went in to see his married sister,
and found her trying to amuse her lit
tie boy, who was Ave years old.
Not long after he arrived she stepped
out Of the room to attend to some
household matter or other, leaving him
alone with the child. The boy eyed
him obviously for some minutes. He
was o spoiled child, If ever there was
one, and he had no idea of making
promiscuous acquaintances.
The bachelor tried to make the little
one laugh, but all he got for his antics
was a sour look. Finally, without warn
ing, the child burst out crying. Here
was quandary, to be sure. The man
didn't dare to pick the boy up to soothe
him. His attempts In verbal line were
dismal failures. What should he do9
Finally a thought struck him. He
looked at the crying youngster, and
sthe crying youngster looked at him.
ssGry louder" said the man.
The child obeyed.
~ Louder yet. urged the bachelor
A yell went up that would have done
credit to an Indian.
Louder still, insisted the man, and
the boy did his best to obey.
s'Louderi' fairly howled his uncle.

shut his mouth with click and was

A FRUIT HOUSE.
Some Hints to Those Who Have Fruis 20
EStore.

Some Hints to Those Who Have Fruis 70
kStore.
In some localities tits rather difficult
to SECURE good cellar without consid-
cradle work. Often draining by Dig
ging a trench is necessary; and, when.
this is the case Ii will often pay to
build fruithouse above the ground,
rather than to run the risk of water
flooding in and damaging the fruit and
vegetables A fruithouse, II well
built, SO as to be frost-proof. Is much
more convenient than q cellar In many
ways, but good care must be taken in
doing the work If good results are to-
be secured.
Two by six-inch studding will be the
best; that is, not less than this should
be used. They can be placed two feet
apart and 1t is usually best to brace
the corners. Eight feet is plenty high,
and in most cases six will be sufficient.
It should be built close to the ground,
| SO that 1t can be banked up readily on
all sides. On the outside rough boards
can be nailed on first, and over this q
layer of tarred paper or heavy straw
paper, and then the whole should be
carefully weatherboarded. i
When it can be done, it will be best
to fill the space between the studding
with sawdust, taking care to fill in
tightly. Rough boards can be nailed on
the inside, and over THU tarred paper
should again be tackled.
Overhead a tight layer OF boards
should be pit. and ON them q good
layer Of sawdust. 4 chimney, or place
for ventilation, should be provided.
Care should be taken to make tighti
the door and ventilator should
be all the openings. Good, close
fitting doors, one to open outside
and one inside, will help. Boxes
or bins should be built inside and
about four inches away from the
wall. This will give airspace between
the wall and the fruit. To make
doubly sure, an old stove set In the
room in which a little fire may be
made in the severest weater, will be
| found a benefit, rs a very little fire
| viii lessen very materially the danger
| of damage. A house of this kind. in 9
winter like the last one, will keeE
fruit and vegetables without freezing
! but in winters such rs we sometimes
have, a little fire will be necessary. =

use of ii. It was enough to make 0

the kick and the cuff of every petty
jack IN office, to have rice TO eat and
water to drink, whe a that gorgeous
fortune was ready for him outside, just
waiting to be picked up. = might have

which is small place on the slopes OF
Mount Harriet, and was left pretty
much to myself It is a dreary, fever-
stricken place, and all beyond our little
( c1earings was infested with wild canni-
bal natives, who were ready enough to
blow poisoned dart at us if they saw
a. chance. There was digging, and
ditching, and yam-p planting, and d
dozen other things to- be done, SO we
were busy enough all day; though in
the evening we had a little time to our
selves Among other things, I learned
to dispense drugs for the surgeon, and
picked up a smattering of his knowl-
edge. All the time I was on the look
out for chance of escape, but 1t is
hundreds of miles from any other land,
and there is little or no wind in those
seas, SO 1t was d terribly difficult job to
get away.
1.-THE surgeon; DR., somerton; was
fast, sporting young chap, and the
other young officers would meet in his
rooms of an evening and play cards.
The surgery, where used to make up
my drugs, was next to his sitting
with small window between us.
Often, II felt lonesome, used to turn
out the lamp in the surgery, and then,
standing there, could hear their talk
and watch their play am fond of a
hand at cards myself, and 1t was al
most as good as having one to watch
the others. There was Maj. Sholto,

native troops. and there was the sir
geon himself, and two or three prison
officials, crafty old hands who played a
nice sly safe game. Avery snug little
party, they used to make.
well, there was one thing which
very soon struck me, and that was
that soldiers used always to lose and
the civilians to win. Mind. / don't say
that there was anything unfair, but SO
It was These prison chaps had done
little else than play cards ever since
they had been at the Andamans, and
they knew each Others game to a
point, while the others just played to
pass the time and threw their cards
down anyhow. Night after night
the soldiers gotu poorer men, and the
poorer they got the more keen they
were to play Maj. Sho1to was the
hardest HIT He used to pay In notes and
gold at first, but soon it came to notes
OF hand and for big sums. He some-
times would win for a few deals, just
to give him heart, and then the luck
would set in against him worse than
ever. All day he would wander about
as black as thunder, and he took 70
drinking d deal more than was good
for him.

the sound of blows. a moment later

and close at his heels, bounding like a
tiger, the great black-bearded Sikh,
with knife flashing in his hand. I
have never seen man run so fast as
that little merchant. He was gaining
on the Sikh, and could see that if he
once passed me and got to the open air
he would save himself yet. My heart
softened to him, but again the thought
of his treasure turned me hard and
bitter. / cast my fireloek between his
legs as he raced past, and he rolled
twice over like a shot rabbit. Ere he

e'Siddenly my eye caught the CLINT

the inoat. 1t vanished among the
mound-heaps, and then appeared again
coming slowly in our direction.

Friends came the answer. un-
covered my lantern and threw a food
of light upon them. The first was an
enormous Sikh, with black beard
