PROBLEMS THAT vEX
CONFRONT WORKS BOARD IN SHAPE
OF STREET IMPROVEMENTS.
List of Remonstrators Even in the
Sacred Mile Square-Cross
Petitions.

The old fight against the Improvement of
Alabama street, from Fort Wayne avenue
10 Seventh street. els giving the Board Of
Works a great deal of trouble. Alabama
street is paved from Maryland to Ohio
street and from Seventh to Fourteenth
street with asphalt. and from Ohio street
to Fort Wayne avenue with blocks. w. b.
Holton, who was a member of the Board
or Public Works last year.. lives on the
unpaved section and secured the adoption
by the board of a resolution for paving that
portion with asphalt, but it was rescinded
by the new board. The present board. be-
lieving that a block pavement would be ac-
ceptable to the property owners. adopted a
resolution TO that effect. Yesterday a re-
monstrance against this action was filed,
and also a petition asking for a block pave
ment. Some of the property owners are
circulating a petition for asphalt, which will
be presented to the board in a short time.
The contention seems TO be coming to a
point where it will be necessary for the
board to submit the matter to the Council
before the street can be improved.
John r. Elder presented a long remon-
STRANGE against the use of asphalt on New
York street, and asking for blocks. He
% 'ey shuCu SufpIiscu wien lie was
told that the resolution for this work had
been passed some days ago and that the
board had advertised for bids TO be received
March q. No action was taken on the
remonstrance, but Mr.. Elder was told to
return next Wednesday and the board
would decide whether 1t would again open
the case.
Residents of Vermont street were next
IN order. They awoke a few days ago TO
nnd that the board had rescinded its original
resolution, providing for asphalt, and
adopted a block resolution. The residents of
the west end of the street say they want
asphalt and protest against blocks. The
board was compelled to rescind its block
resolution because Of an opinion from the
city attorney that the one resolution could
not include two. sections Of the street, not
joining. The board had decided that the
square facing University square should be
asphalt and had made one resolution to
cover the rest of the street within the mile
square. Now the members of the board do
not know. what they will do. Each faction
wants the board to take matters in hand
and do as Ii thinks best, provided that way
"A petition was presented and granted for
q wooden block pavement on Illinois street,
from Seventh street to Fall creek. The
agreed TO support a petition for blocks i'm
consideration Of the people south of Twelfth
street Withdrawing their opposition to the
Improvement. This resolution will probably
go through without serious remonstrance.

An Indian Courtshlp.

An Usage buck does his courtiug by
hanging around the girls tent on horse
back, looking at her, but no word is
spoken. All day he will sit on his
horse few rods away from the tent,
and then return early next morning
and sit there with the stoicism and
silence of sentinel. When the girl
finally goes to him he knows it is all
right if he can pay the price. The
price varies. When times are lively
half a dozen horses are required for
this luxury. If the market is flooded,
fair specimen can be bought for a
horse and plug of tobacco. When
the beauty of the tribe was married
last year it took two rifles, thirteen
horses, 1000 cartridges and a gallon OF
whisky to make her devoted father
part with her. But she was a profess
sional beauty. The happy bridegroom
has since offered to let her go at
much reduced price.

Biddy Sitting on Five Kittens.

An attendant at the Rome State
Custodial asylum a day or two ago
found hen with singular maternal
tastes. The hen had shown a grea t
prediction to set and was finally
found on a nest in the barn. The at
tendant took her out OF the nest and
was amazed to find that she had been
setting on five wee kittens The
hen evinced so strong an affection
for her queer family that it was al
most impossible to keep her away
from the nest In spite OF the pains
taken she was back on the nest
again the next day, but all except
one of the kittens had been taken
away. 1t is supposed she came
across the kittens in their home and,
after driving the mother away.
adopted them as her own. and that
when she was taken off the nest the
old cat carried all but one OF her
kittens away.-Rome, n. Y, SEN

In some localities 1t is rather diti-
cult to secure a good cellar without
considerable work. Often drainage by
digging a trench is necessary; and when
this is the case 1t will often pay to
build a fruit house above the ground,
rather than to run the risk of water
flooding in and damaging the fruit and
vegetables. A fruit house, II we'll built,
so as to be frost-proof, is much more
convenient than a cellar in many ways,
but good care must be taken in doing
the work if good results are to be Sc
cured.
Two by six inches studding will be
the best; that is, not less than this
should be used. They can be placed
two feet apart, and it is usually best to
brace the corners. Eight feet is plenty
high, and in most cases six will be
sufficient. 1t should be built close to
the ground, so that it can be banked
up readily on all sides. On the outside,
rough boards can be nailed on first, and
over that a layer of tarred paper or
ANofs ctioW WOathNi DOoh N~<'
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 this tarred
paper should again be tackled.
Overhead tight layer of boards
should be put, and on them good layer
OF sawdust. A chimney, or place for
ventilation, should be provided. Care
should be taken to make tight; the
door and ventilation 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 air space be-
tweeE the wall and the fruit. To make
doubly sure. an old ,tove set in the
room In which a little fire may be
made in the severest weather. will be
found benefit, as very little fire will
lessen very materially the danger Of
damage. A house of this kind, in a
winter like the last one, will keep fruit
and vegetables without freezing, but in
winters such as we sometimes have. q
little fire will be necessary. - Fruit

LIQUID PUEL IN THE FUrUaE.
Destined to Take an Importans Part In
Industry and transportation.

Industry and Transportation.
At recent meeting OF the Civil
AMI Mechanical engineers society
In London r. Nelson Boyd read u
paper on the possibilities of liqa!i
fuel The author began by referring
to the use of liquid fuel in
the past, which was first in
troduced after the early developm ent
OF petroleum in America in 1859
Several patents were taken out in
England as far back as 1868 for the
application of liquid fuel. The most
successful general application of
liquid fuel was made by Mr. Urqu-
hart in South Russia Mr.. Halden
has recently adopted such fuel on
the Great Eastern railway. The
colorific value of petroleum was dis.
cussed and the results Of expert
ments given. from which it appeared
that practically one ton of petroleum
residue is equal to two tons OF coal.
The advantages in the use OF petro-
leum were referred to. Noteworthy
among which were the economy of
stoking on board ship and the ease
of working on locomotives.
A writer in Black Diamond, refer
ring to the subject, says: "A few
more coal strikes will greatly reduce
the amount OF that product con-
sumed. There is a growing tend
ency to use liquid fuel, and through
out European countries there are a
large number of manufacturing in
stitutions that use oil for fuel alto
gether. A trip on the Caspian sea
discovered that the steamer did not
carry pound of coal The captain
told me that there was not steam
ship on that sea that did not use oil
exclusively. 1t has been tested for
two or three years and it was found
20 be safer and better, while the diff
ference in bulk was very important
matter.

aard In nnY Event.

Tho ordinary cooperative society,
depending on money to carry on and
extends its business, booms in prosper
ous times when money is plentiful,
but finds it hard to hold its own when
a contracted currency throws its MEM
bers out of employment and work. The
Labor Exchange, on the contrary, de-
pending on labor, failed to attract at
tention till hard times forced people to
look out for a system better adapted
for keeping them out of the workhouse.
Where the members are few and far
between, the Labor Exchange requires
a certain amount of legal tender money
for use with outsiders. But every ad-
ditional trade and profession represent

The New Hog.

AS compared with years ago, We
have the new hog. He is new in his
makeup, lives fast and dies early for
profit, and hence is handled differently
than he used to be. The demands on
him are new also. Instead of year
and half old, he must mature in
seven or eight months. A writer on
this subject says that now the feeding
weight of the hog Of commerce is 175
to 200 pounds instead of 300 or $50 as
formerly. This writer says: Hogs Of
900 pounds of dead weight and upward
could hardly be produced without their
being wintered over. This took all the
gliding off the gingerbread, unless
prices were abnormally high. But
hogs weighing IT'S to 200 pounds can
be brought to saleable maturity In the
course of one season. An early spring
litter Of them can be fitted for market
before cold weather begins to make
feeding Improbable. Then, when the
young pigs are sold off, there is only
the breeding SOW, or possibly two Of
them, to keep over winter, and she or
they can roam the barnyard, picking
up waste grain, working over manure,
and taking comfort beside the straw
stack.-Ex.
