Storing Vegetables to Keep,

The season is now at hand when we
should give our attention to the gath
ering and storing of the vegetables.
Beets, generally speaking, are the first
roots to 60 in, but carrots, turnips or
rutabagas, and the like, should not be
far behind them; and in order 10 keep
all these 80 as to afford a supply in
winter, with the best success possible,
the heads, and sink them in some con-
venient place near the house, leaving
the rims only about three inches above
the surface of the soil. Be sure to
pack the earth firmly around each bar
rel, otherwise surface water will run
down the sides and get into the vege-
tables from below, and 80 spoil all your
work. Fill the barrel about two-thirds
full of roots and cover them with a
piece of mating or old carpet, 30 as to
exclude the air. Place over each bar
rel an ordinary cover with a rim that
comes down about an inch; and upon
this lay a stone or some other weight
that will prevent the wind from lifting
the cover.
In this way the vegetables can be
kept until the next spring when frost
comes out, just as fresh and nice as
when taken from the ground. The
warm moisture which is constantly
coming from below keeps back the cold
from above, and so retains an even
temperature just above the freezing
point-the best possible temperature
for vegetables, in the barrels. In case
the weather gets pretty cold, however,
it is advisable to throw mating or some
other slight extra protection over the
barrels, to be removed as soon as the
mercury rises.
No sort of roots should be broken or
injured in any way when being taken
up. Mutilation of the slightest nature
may not only open up the road for de-
cay, but it Injuries or destroys their
best edible qualities. This is a point
of more Importance than is often sup
posed, and to neglect it in the least
may lead to most undesirable results.
When storing parsnips and satisfy in
the manner described, it is a good plan
to mix soil with the roots; not that this
Will cause them to keep any fresher,
but 1t will take from them some of their
acrid properties, and SO render them
more delicate and wholesome. Cauli-
flowers that just begin to head late in
the season, if placed in the barrels roots
down, will perfect their heads during
the winter, and thus can be had as good
in February as in October. This is
something pleasant to know.
Where vegetables are to be kept in this
manner, the subsoil should be of a
gravelly nature, or such as affords per-
feet bottom drainage. In case the sub
soil be not of the requisite nature,
drain it. If the right spot be chosen,
this will require only a small amount of
work, comparatively speaking, some
digging and some stones, or tile where
stones are not procurable. Indeed, one
can well afford this extra expenditure
when it will give him good, wholeson e
vegetables to eat at a time when they
are most needed, for perfect food is the
greatest medicine and health-giver in
existence.-Ohio Farmer.

THERE IS more catarrh is this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and, by CON
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has catarrh proven to be a consti-
tutional disease, and it therefore re-
quires constitutional treatment. Hall's

palled at the poetic license IL the plot of
Turk Meets Greek" In fact one carf
only become recon ciled to the story at all
by rejecting that in the drama, according
to Francis Powers. the impression is the
thing and the plot is mere detail.
The scene opens in picturesque street
in Stamboul, where after considerable cir
cumlocution We learn, if we keep our ears
very sharply open, that Ayesha, the
daughter of Abdul Hassen Effendi. has
eloped to Greece with Prince Constantine.
Edhem Pasha is drilling his army (con-
sisting OF National Guardsmen, n. G.. c.,
disguised with fezzes) when to him enter
Ayesha's father and mother, the latter be-
ing an aged gentleman of venerable ap-
pearance. Effendi, throwing himself at
the Pasha's feet, implores TO be allowed 20
20 to the war to avenge the wrong done MS
house, and the mother, disregardiag the
injunction OF heProphet appears unveiled
before the National Guardsman. From
subsequent developments it transpires that
the aged gentleman of venerable appear
ance is not only permitted 10 go to the
front, but is Immediately placed in COM
mand of the entire Turkish army.
The next scene shows Constantine medi-
tating in the ruins of the Acropolis by
moonlight. To him enter Ayesha and
General Smolenski. Their conversation,
which is largely culled from editorials that
have appeared in American newspapers,
does not advance the action of the play
much, but Ayesha learns that her father
is in com mand of the Turkish army, and
Constantine says he has feared all along
that the Turks would discover that Effendi
was the greatest strategist jim the world.
In the days when he (Constantine) vas in
onstantinople incog., Effendi used to
snow him on chess board that the
victories of Alexander and Cesar were
mere child's play. When Ayesha learns
that her father is in command, she, net
phorically speaking. puts her foot down,
ana says that she is going to the 'front.'

1.-THE Heart of Chicago" which will be
produced o-morrow evening, is the latest
play from the pen of Lincoln }. Carter.
The piece, like the authors other works,
is melodramauc and is to certain extent
original IN plot ana scenic establishment.
The action opens with dissolution of a
firm and quarrel between tbs members
on the night of the great fire, which af-
fords an opportunity for the introduction
of three realistic views OF the me M orabie
night in October, 1871. Twenty-one years
are supposed to elapse between the first
and the succeeding acts. The guilty part
ner, who rests in tae belief that the fire
wiped out evidence OF his crime, has be-
come a wealthy and influential citizen.
Among the special scenic and mechan-
ical effects may be mentioned view from
the root of the Masonic Tenn pie, the Chi
cago fire scene and the scene where an en-
gins comes putting to the footlights. The
cast calls for twenty-five speaking char
acters. Among those specially engaged
for the production are: Minnie Holden,

signs his right to the succession in favor
of his brother George-and the curtain
falls.
The audience is left to go on its way re-
loicing in the hope that Avesha and her
lover were received with distinguish ed
consideration when they reached Turkish
soil. II they have arrived there yet. they
could PROBABLY a different tale unfold.
Turkish relations have an unpleasant way
OF dealing with erring damsels. There
is no boiling oil in it, but there are other
things almost as bad. AS for un believers
who elope with Turkish maidens, accord :
ing 10 the law OF the Prophet the family
is not bound to kill the fatted calf when
they drop IN to pay visit. Ths denoue-
ment, however, is another piece OF
Powers impressionism. He has left the
fate of Ayesha and her lover to the i'm.
agination of the audience.
The management of the AIcazar has
mounted Turk Meets Creek Iavishly,
but Henry Irving himself could not make
the play success. Francis Powers has
much to learn-English grammar among
other thfngs-but his stioag sense OF the
picturesque ought 10 prove a dramatic
Klondike to him yet. Perhaps the fail
ure of Turk Meets Greek" may teach
him that, though picturesqueness is good
in its way. good plot is better. Ii he
learns the lesson, then in the words of his
own hero. Constantine, ''This failure may

daughter of millionaire and of his efforts
to secure fortune in the gold fields in the
face of the many obstacles placed in his
way by rival for the hand of his sweet
heart. Some realistic scenic effects are
