MARRY OR PAY TAN.

The wise legislators of the Argen-
tine Republic have been much troub-
led about providing a population
for their large and fertile country.
They have decided to provide a
remedy making marriage almost
compulsory.
A law has been introduced, the
first clause of which reads: Son and
after the first day of January, 1897,
every male from the age of 20 to
so shall pay a tax till he mariies,

STORING VEGETABLES.


The best way to store vegetables
in winter is quite problem to peo-
pie who raise several kinds. Simply
dug and placed in the cellar, many
of them will shrink and wither,
becoming unfit for use in a short
time, while others will rot and de-
cay. These latter are not only
ruined themselves, but soon infect
the sound ones, as we'll as being a
poison to the inmates of the house.
For beets, turnips, carrots, parsnip
and winter radish the best plan is
to place them in barrels or boxes
in alternate layers with dry sand
or earth Stored in this way they
retain their natural moisture,
which keeps them plump and fresh
until spring
When the roots are placed in soil
that is at all damp, it causes them
to start to grow, which is great
detriment to their keeping qualities.
Onions need only to be kept dry
and not piled too thick, as they are
inclined to heat when many are
placed together. When spread
thinly on boards in a fairly dry
cellar they will keep nicely.
Squash and sweet pumpkins
must be kept dry and when one
has not favorable cellar for keep
ing them, it is a good plan to fasten
shelves to the stills at the top of the
cellar, so they will be directlE under
the floor. That is the dryept place
in the cellar and generally none too
warm for them.
Cabbage is inclined to rot unless
stored very carefully. Hang them
up by strings to nails driven in the
sills overhead, but supply for late
winter and spring use can be buried
in a barrel or pit outdoors. The
barrel is sunk almost its whole
depth in the ground. only few
inches being left out at the top;
this is banked up so it is even with
the top of the barrel and slopes
away from it on all sides, the OBJ
iect being to carry off the surface
water. The cabbage heads are cut
from the stalk and packed in the
barrel with the stalk ends up, and
when full the barrel is covered with
a close fitting cover that will keep
out water. Something can be
thrown over it to protect the cab
bage from the extreme celd-hay
or straw, or even dry earth. The
cabbage will be as solid and tender
in spring as when stored in the fall.

make, too. After the battle is over,
and the wounded and dying lie thick
on the field, the dog soldier is given
the command to ''Seekw Instantly he
dashes away through the smoke and
searches for the wounded men. When
he finds one he seizes his helmet, or his
cap, or a bit of clothing and darts
swiftly back with it. Then he leads
the ambulance men to the spot where
the wounded man lies, and he is.
