THE OLD WAYsIDE INN.

to : Boston Man.
If there Is no hitch in the papers the
old wayside inn at Sudbury, Mass,
made famous by Longfellow, will pass
into the ownership of a Boston gentle
man OF antiquarian tastes, who will
preserve the building and fill it with
articles Of historic interest, says the
New York Times. The name of the Z
buyer will not be given out until the
papers have passed This estate passed
into the hands of ex-Mayor S. II. Howe;
OF Marlboro and ex-Ald. Homer Rogers
OF Boston in 1893. Those two gentle
men have expended considerable money
in renovating the house and improving
it, such as shingling the roof and retop
ping the chimneys, which had been
broken a1elIsr in several places. This work in
no way, however, interferes with its
exterior or its historic worth, for Mr..
Rogers told a reporter at his house in
Allison that he would not have that
happen for thousands, and the work
was done for preservation When the
DEED came into the hands Of Mr.. Rogers
three years ago it was the first time it
had passed out Of the hands of the
Howe family since the house was orig
lnally built, two centuries since. The
building 1-lli11 was built shortly after King
Philips Phil war and up to 1893 it was
known as Howe's tavern. David Howe

Eurs md NIntba

If properly stored, furs can be kept
all summer ut home without danger
from moths. The best plan is to hang
the garments aud not to fold them.
First beat them well with strong,
slender cane, then comb with fur
comb. This is TO remove all PARTICLES
of dust and prevent the possibility of
moth eggs being left in them when
stored. Hang them in a dark closet
that Is lined with tar paper If a
closet cannot be spared for the pur-
pose, the next best thing is to pack
them in n chest or trunk lined in the
same manner. But when this is not
practicable, any of the preventives sold
by druggists may be used They
should be sewed carefully in bags, so
as not to come in contact with the
furs. Dealers sometimes use fumes
of sulphur to clean furs, but this al
ways discolors them, so should not be
done until all else fails. Fur garments
should be taken out and shaken well
once month, bat hanging in the sun
is not advisable, as it only helps TO
hatch the eggs if any remain in the
furs, instead of destroying them as

Auctions In Japan.

There is little chance for fraud or
complaint in the matter of conducting
auction sales in Japan. Although
there is not nearly so many sales held
there as in this country, officials of the
cities have way OF conducting them
much similar to our method of vot-
Ing.
When an auction is to take place,
the goods or property is advertised fol
Two weeks ahead. On the day of III,
sale each bidder writes his name and
address and the amount of his bid fo,
zach lot on slip of paper, which he
carefully places in box. When all
the bids are in the auctioneer opens
the box in the presence of the specta
tors, and, after examining, all the
goods are declared the property of the
highest bidder. By this system the
American custom of owners bidding il
property on goods would almost en-
tirely disappear.

Care of IA Refrigerator.

The care of refrigerator involves
more than the obvious necessity of
seeing that, with the approach of hot
weather, no accumulation of food is
allowed to spoil therein The pru-
dent housewife will, likewise, direct
that the ice itself, in extreme heat. be
covered with newspapers, than which
there is no better preventive of its
rapid melting away. She will see that
the shelves are frequently secured and
kept perfectly sweet, but that no hot
water is employed for this purpose.
She will give orders that the drinking
water be cooled by being placed upon
the ice, and not by having the ice put
into it. And, last of all, she will en-
deavor to convince the maids that
there is no magic preservative on top
of the refrigerator, and that particular
spot is quite as warm as any other part
of the storeroom; also that the coolest
place in the box is underneath the ice
that is, on those shelves beneath it
and not, as so often supposed, on top
of it, Thus anything placed over the
cake of ice is much warmer than what
is put away within the refrigerator.

For Piles on Cattle.

a small amount of carbolic acid. Apply
with cloth by moistening the hair

as often as necessary, and your cows

can be used. Coal tar is the base of
this remedy, and when too thick to

too thin to adhere we'll use more coal

Is wonder how the people get in.
Their babies are not washed till thew
are year old, because it is considered
unlucky to wash them. The Egyp-
tans rarely comb their hair. Their
chlef meal is at sunset; at other times
when they are hungry they eat piece
OF bread. They never use plates or
knives or forks. All sit around the
table on the floor. Bread is their
daily food, and each family makes for
Itself, as it is looked upon as q dis
grace to buy "street bread" The
women clean the corn, and carry it on
their heads to mill. 1t is made into
small thin cakes, stuck against the
sides of an oven, and baked in less
than minute. A hundred cakes are
not too many for family of four in
week. Travellers are usually expected
to eat three cakes apiece. They make
butter In strange way. A goat skin
half filled with milk is hung on a peg,
and then woman jerks it too and fro
TIL the butter is formed Then she
drains IT, but never washes or salts it.
The favorite dish is rice cooked with
