COLD STORAGE ON FARM.
Suggestions for the Construction OF
an Underground House Where
Frost Cannot Reach.

Whatever may be its disadvantages,
the farm cellar is about the only place
on the farm where temperature above
freezing can be maintained throughout
the winter, and as the pit cannot or at
least should not be disturbed during
the winter, we may expect the cellar to
be the chief storing place for apples for
winter consumption for some years to
come

In the west, both for storing all kinds of
vegetables, butter and fruits, and as a

BAD MANNERS IN SOCIETY.
Some Severe Structures ON Deport.
ment in Social Circles in
These Days.

A woman of social prominence, who
Las in her day been leader, and
who is so no longer because of her
age, recently, in an intimate and in
formal conversation, made severe
structures on some of the manners of
society at the present time, states the

the arranging of ones toilet in the
presence of others was an offense
against good taste. Such a thing, too,
as putting ones elbows on the table,
while eating, was also considered vul-
Gar. l know that many of these rules
were insisted upon so strongly that
there was something of a reaction,

restaurant the other night, and the
way the women I saw there lolled on
the table, both while they were eat
ing and while they were not, was a
surprise. Another thing I saw there
and see it now in many other places,
vas a constant readjustment and re-
arranging of the toilet, especially the
hair.
THE need of the incessant attention
to the latter that one now sees every

shaking is explained, l know, by ref
erence to the present method of
wearing the hair en- pompadour, but

that hair-dressing really needs to go
on in public the style, pretty as it is,
should be changed. You sometimes
see women at the theater now, who,
after taking off their hats, practically
do their hair all over again. They
could just as we'll attend to this in the
place provided in the lobby before
they take their seats, but that would
lot help, for they keep on working
with the hair all the evening""

STRANGE. HoNEYMooNs.
Odd Situations and Pastimes Of Newly
Married Couples at Home 49,
and Abroad.

Cases frequently come to light of the
extraordinary way in which some new
Unmarried folks spend the initial hours
of connubial bliss.
A week or two ago, says London pa
per, a young couple were found lying
asleep on the slope of the Notifications
near the Versailles gate, Paris. Rain
was falling heavily, yet the pair were
snoring. Beside the man, who was in
his Sunday best clothes, was a silk hat,
and the young woman was dressed in
white, and wore sprigs of orange bios
some in her hair.
The market gardeners who discovered
the couple handed them over to the po-
lice, and when taken before the police
commissary the man explained that they
had been married the previous after
noon, and after a substantial breakfast
at a Partisan restaurant, had started for
their home on the outskirts of the city
Arriving at the house the bridegroom
found that he had lost his latchkey, and
while walking back to the city they had
sat down to rest, and, being tired, had
fallen to sleep.
Ten years ago honeymoon in motor
car would have been regarded as some.
thing extraordinary, but nowadays they
are quite common. A newly-married
couple recently started off on a long
tour in a large motor car, which they
used for sleeping accommodation, just
as gypsies use a caravan.
Only few days ago wedding was
celebrated on the stage, the ceremony
being performed by local minister dur.
ing an interval in the play, and in full
view of the audience The couple fol-
whom the matrimonial knot was tied had
their honeymoon on the stage, rehears-
ing new dances and dialogues.
There was an extraordinary sendon
to newly-married couple month, or sc
ago. After the wedding breakfast the
bride and bridegroom led the guests tc
the large garden at the rear of the brides
parents house, where huge balloon was
in readiness to make it's flight. The
couple, having taken their seats in the
basket car attached to the balloon, q
white slipper was tied to the car with
silk ribbon, and the ropes cut. AS the
balloon 'drifted away the bridegroom
threw large quantities of confetti from
the car, and the effect was charming In
the extreme. The trip lasted about 81
hours -
On five or six occasions lion tanners
have been married in the cages in
which their trained animals perform
The ceremony has been conducted from
the outside of the cage, nobody being
found with sufficient courage to make
trio inside the bars.
Just as the marriages have been cele-
hrated among the wild animals, so have
the honeymoons, in way, for on near
ly every occasion the lion tanner has con-
tinued his performances, and on more
than one occasion the bride has entered
The cage as we'll for several days after
the wedding, so as to attract large
crowds to the show.
In large garrison towns it often hap
pens that a soldier marries the day be-
fore his regiment departs for a foreign
station, and the honeymoon is spent on
board a troopship, if the gallant soldier
has obtained permission to marry.

How to Get Rid of Stumps.

In the autumn bore hole one or two
inches in diameter, according to the
girth of the stump, vertically in the cen
ter of the latter, and about 10 inches
deep. Put into it one or two ounces OF
saltpeter; fill the hole with water and
plug up close.
In the ensuing spring take out plug
and pour in about one-half gallon OF
kerosene oil and ignite it. The stump
will shoulder away to the very roots,

CHAPTER VI.-CONr1NuED.
BY CHARLES CLARK MUM
<ospyrtght. 1865, by Lee ana Shepard


And as once before, when the even
1nss smoke and chat ended, the camp
nre low, and Martin had stretched
himself on the bough bed beside the
doctor, his thoughts travelled to Green
vale, and he wondered how Angie
looked and what she would say, and
how she would treat him if he were to
go back there again.
Beyond that lurked little sense of
guilt at the thought of all the years
that had fed since he parted from her
In such tender fashion, and how
neartless 1t was, after all! Then he
wondered why she had never married.
She was comely girl, and once he
thought her more than that-yes, even
the sweetest and most beautiful maid
in Greenvale.
Why was it some other village swain
had not caught her fancy, after his de-
sertion?
He knew she was an orphan. whose
mother had died when she was quite
young, and worse than that, her father
mad disappeared, no one knew why,
nor whittier, and that Angie had been
left without an heritage, to be brought
up by Aunt Comfort. 1t was peculiar
case; and now, as it all came back to
him, and how, in her sweet girlish
way. she had laid her heart at his
feet, so to speak, it seemed to him that
one so fond. and so wholly dependent,
was the last whom a. manly young fell
low should turn from and desert.
1t was the bud of a boyish love
bursting into flower again, for before
Martin fell asleep he had firmly re-
solved he would visit Greenvale at an
early date and see how Angie would
receive him.
But the next morning all these sweet
impulses received a Quietus, for while
Levi and Jean were getting breakfast,
Martin and the doctor took their rods
and started for the stream close by:
halfway there Martin halted suddenly,
looking down.
And we'll he might, for at his feet
and freshly made in the hard, damp
sand, were those same claw-print
tracks he. had twice found on the
Moosehorn, 100 miles away!

ARE APT TO CONSIDER
THE LIGHT QUESTION
Aldermen May Order Director OF
Public Works to Make Tests.

Aldermen May Order Director of
Public Works to Make Tests.
The light testing question that has
been agitating the city officials for
some time may be brought up in
Council tonight.
According to a plan evolved several
days ago a resolution was to be passed
at the meeting tonight directing the
director of public works to make test
of some of the lights. Whether this
is done at to-night's meeting or not,
it will finally be the course pursued.
1t is probable that the matter will be
taken up now. however.
Alderman Glatigny is not expected
to be present at the meeting and for
that reason the light question loses
much of its interest. Alderman Glat-
igny has announced that he is going to
introduce a resolution at the first
meeting he attends for more lights in
the South Side. He thinks the city
should have the lights tested to find
out whether they are up to the con-
tract or not, but he does not want the
placing of new lights to be further de-
layed on that account
Several of the city officials have de-
cided that the best way to find out
about the lights is to have the direc-
tor of public works test them. This
will be done some time in the near flu
ture and the resolution will probably
be passed tonight. The light ques-
ton will probably be taken up in the
Committee of the Whole.
