A Cellar for Rhubarb Roots.

Just now we are having all sorts of
difficulty in obtaining anything like
an adequate supply of forcing roots,
and in spite of all efforts to the con
trary, judging from present prospects.
we shall fall far short of what we
had hoped to obtain, says a writer in
the Rural New Yorker We have a
good stone cellar from which a build
ing was burned, but as the location
is undesirable for rebuilding ne are
using it for a forcing cellar. A por-
ton of the stills stu remain, and by
replacing the parts burned away the
roofing is an easy and inexpensive
matter. The cellar is 16 feet in
width, and by running a ridge pole
through the center three feet above
the wall, we got ample slope to turn
the water. The roof is of slabs, first
course, turned barkside down, and
well battened with a second course
reversed, which we find turns the wat.
er all right Over this a covering OF
earth well sodded makes substan.
tial and by no means unsightly roof
Here We can force the rhubarb IN
zero weather with but little artificial
heat, and the scarcity of roots is our
only drawback at present.

wife, were the chief losers by Blair's
embezzlements.
To satisfy Dick Brothers and their
clients, Roberts said Blair forged
deeds OF trust and promissory notes
ad libitum When the fatal day o.
adjustment arrived, when the loans
were called in on the expiration OF the
notes, Blair desperate and ready now
! for any crime to conceal his crimes,
went to his friends, moneyed men who
trusted him implicitly, and who ad.
vanced him large sums on his per
sonal note. For the time being the
Threatened deluge was averted
Roberts also charged that Blair was

with the Blow estate of ST. Louis
when co-trustee was appointed; that

Deatedly the reporter suggested that
he be seated. Each time Blair de-
clined to act on the suggestion.
Finally he had concluded his d;cta-

salmon's Hereditary Foresight.

The salmon seems to be gifted with
much intelligence, or hereditary fore
sight" as it is occasionally called,
which is more particularly acute when
danger signals are abroad. They
have been known, when congregated
in the upper pools, to become frighten-
ed by poachers approaching them
with net or spear, and to Immediately
dash down stream to a distance of
thirty miles in one night, not stopping
until they had reached pools so deep
that they could not be taken with
the appliances of the poacher. They
seemed TO know that if they went
higher up the stream their doom was
sealed When coming from sea in
schools and on entering the estuary,
they have been seen with an old
leader at the head of the school, the
rest forming a triangle about two
and g half feet below the surface of
the water; and, on calm days, guided
by the old patriarch, they would
swim around the fishermen's net.

surance that they believed they had
won the battle. They were guarded
in their statements as to the second
collapse. They admitted that there
were traces of morphine in Mr..
Blair's system, and they said that
they had not prescribed morphine for
him. They could not say that he had
been addicted to the use of morphine.
They were inclined TO think weakness,
overexertion, abstention from nourish-
ment for days and mental anguish
were chiefly to blame for the "col-
lapse. And again the public was con-
fronted with another puzzling ques-
ton in the Blair story"
On Thursday morning of last week
"a morning newspaper of st. Louis
published a positive statement, based
on the Information of a person ''in-
innate with the Blair family and en-
tirely trustworthy" thai James l.,
Blair, on the occasion of his two
collapses, at the Four Courts and at
lie he has printed" But Blair went
no further! His voice failed and he
fell, unconscious, at the feet of the
prosecuting attorney.
Blair was taken to Airdrie and his
devoted wife and son. Percy Blair,
began that vigil at mis- bedside which
has not ended since.
Last Saturday morning one of the
morning newspapers of ST. Louis pub
lished a lengthy expose" of the
blair story" 1t was founded on
statements and proof submitted by
James T. Roberts, formerly Blair's
confidential man, but whom Blair had
discharged years ago. Roberts &C

LIME JUICE.

comes from the little island of Mont

Is almost wholly given up to orchards
of lime trees, and the fruit Is gathered
by colored women who carry it to port
in huge baskets poised on their heads,
baskets which oftea hold a hundred
