up in good cement. Thus the hollow wall extends down below the frost line, and the frost will not cross in onto the floor.
 After the tile walls are laid the re. quired height, row of studding is placed around the inside wall (see H. lustration). Back of these next to the wall is placed lining of heavy, tarred paper These studs are lathed and heavily plastered. Plates for rafters are placed upon top of wall, and joists for ceiling spiked to these plates. Un- dersides of joists are ceiled with matched flooring, a lining of heavy pa per, and stripped with 2x2 lath, same way joints run. Lath and plaster are applied to these making dead-air space between plaster and flooring. Tops of joists are floored with matched mate rial, paper lined, making two dead-air spaces Roof may be made of shingles or other material carefully fitted to ex- clude air currents, and gable double boarded, all being lined with tarred paper.
 Next fill remainder of excavation with crushed stone and cement mak- ing smooth floor level with doorstep. Make stone and cement very compact to avoid cracking. A chimney in one end is a good means of ventilation and gives opportunity for a stove in extremely cold weather.
 A building similar to this with two double windows and one door, placed in corner for convenience, if built AK 16 feet and 10 feet from bottom of foundation to caves, should cost not over $125 to $50. Below is a bill for . cellar 14x16x10 feet, including every thing necessary: 660 building blocks; barrels good cement; 15 yards crushed stone; 1 door frame 2Sx6S inches; window frames 20x2S inches; 45 studs 2x4, feet long; 12 joists 2x6, IA feet long; 2 plates 2xS, IA feet long; 2 rafter plates 2xS. IS feet long, allow ing feet for spring shed; 20 rafters 2x5, feet long: 360 feet sheathing for roof; 800 feet matched flooring and siding; 3.25O shingles; 1000 plaster ing lath; 75 yards plaster: 1000 square feet building paper; 300 brick for chimney; door 2sx6S inches; win dow sash. 20x2S inches; pounds spikes; pounds lath nails: 15 pounds Sd nails; pounds shingle nails.
 From this list the cost of erection in any locality can be ascertained. Care should be taken to have windows and doors fit closely. avoiding cracks. An extra storm door" for winter use would be an added protection against freezing.
 The illustration may be explained thus: D. doorway; B, sink drain; c. sinks e, milk separator, where milk and cream are drawn off into vessels and separator washed; d. refrigera- tor; f, basin conveying waste water from tank into sink drain: g. sink drain; V, window-Ohio Farmer.

ODD SCENES IN |ND|A|
THE NATIVE MANNER OF LIFE
 OF UNIQUE INTEREST.
He Uses Most Primitive Tools and Misunderstanding Done by Bull locks-Eastern Admiration for
 Things That Are Large.

To the student of nature India IS full of interest and full of surprise. A large portion of it is inhabited ty an Aryan population, and, however we may dfsavow the relationship, our grandfathers were common with theirs. Not only so, but we know that, before the horde. whose sons we are, moved westward, a very advanced state of civilization had been reached. The students of philology inform us that agriculture-milling and blowing, at any rate-were well known before the great Aryan family separated. But the difference lies here-that while we of the west, in colder climes and soil less fertile, have advanced in our knowledge and acquired sturdier methods, the eastern Hindoos have kept to almost the same primitive tools and methods which they must have used in prehistoric times. Take, for instance, their blow, the essential structure of which is, in most cases, stout beam to form plow-stock and handle; into this is fixed a pole to carry the yoke, while an iron tooth is fixed below to act as a share-a primi- tive tool. and one serviceable enough when only the surface of the soil needs to be scratched up, but quite useless when deep blowing is necessary.
 No large estate is without its own carpenters, joiners, tailors, workers in metal, etc., who can at once repair any of the agricultural implements which get out of order. One may often see in a corner of the factory buildings blow in course of being mended. or a drill under repair; while any tinwork or ironwork. such as the making of boxes or iron-bound cases can always be done on the premises. and we'll done, too, If somewhat rough ly finished.
 Most of the carting and other agri- cultural work is done by bullocks, but 1t is interesting to see sometimes a camel-cart, the local omnibus, used by natives mainly for taking servants and luggage to the station. Another in- stance of local manufacture is to be found in the potters trade. The pot ter, common sight in most villages, is to be seen sitting in the veranda of his house turning Jumps of clay into pots of all kinds, or round tiles, by means of circular stone which he keeps continually moving with one hand, smoothing the outside of the pot when finished with flat wooden trowel
 A curious instance of the magnii- cence of eastern ideas and admiration for things that are large is the grair. golah, to be seen at Bankipur in Ben gal. It was built as granary in 17S3, but never used as such. Its walls arc of masonry 12 feet in thickness, anQ it stands 90 feet high, with circlm- ference of 43O feet at the base. and

AN uP-cRoUND CELLAR.
Detailed Plans and Specifications for Building One of
 Them.

An up-ground cellar, properly con- structed, will guard against frosts In winter and serve as cool dairy house in summer It avoids the toiling up and down steps of the underground cellar, and obviates the necessity for drainage in level countries where sIch would be impracticable.
 The building blocks or square tiles used in this plan are Sx10x16 inches, and have an extra partition through the center, thus supplying two hollow or dead-air spaces in the outer wall. The excavation for cellar should be thrown out at least two feet in depth and filled with fragments of stone fine ly broken. After filling six or eight inches the outer wall should be laid

would contain about 130.000 tons of tained by a staircase on the outside leading to a platform on the top, where there is stone placed in the center which can be removed. How many individuals would have to toll up the staircase with their sacks of grain ere that immense granary was full, Now it is. perhaps. the finest whispering-g gallery in the world. Not less primitive than their agriculture is their method of irrigation. The water is drawn up from the river below by means of a long bamboo with a vessel attached to one end. the other end be- ing weighted sufficiently to make. the raising of the full vessel a fairly easy matter. The water is tipped into a dug-out trough. and thence distributed over the land by means of a small channel. Curiously enough. as ex- emplifying the universality of .hese primitive arrangements. a method pre- eisely similar 10 this is used b. the natives of West Africa for purposes of irrigation. ....-
 Another of the many uses found fdr the bamboo is to make a fsh-spear. A thick bamboo is split into many sep- arate prongs. which are sharpened. and kept apart by a piece of bamboo in the middle. to which they are also bound to keep them rigid. This forms a most effective fish-spear. and is still more commonly used to throw al wounded birds: and the natives who use them are expert shots with these rrrsor-s-looE veauors

VACATION PROPOSITION.
How IL Is Regarded In the East and
 the West.

How It Is Regarded In the East and
 the West.
 Those who seek token of the differ ence in social conditions as they ex- ist in the eastern and western sections of the United States will find 1t well expressed in the customs which pre- vail in each during the summer months, says Harper's Weekly. In a word, the east considers summer as a vacation period The west accepts 1t largely as one of the four seasons, differing from the other three only in its degree of heat. Such a thing as 'going away for two or three weeks" the joyous announcement of the New Yorker. for instance. has little echo in a western office, although there are indications that the custom of grant ing a holiday in summer is gradually creeping westward.
 The scope of the vacation proposition Is very wide in the east. in New York. From president down to office boy every employee of a business estab-  lishment looks forward to vacation. The president takes it. The ofhce boy expects it and gets 1t. Whether the period be accorded as reward or as an acknowledgment of necessity is debatable.
 Saturday, in the east has long been considered half day" and little hy little it is passing entirely as busi- ness day. especially in summer. But the west continues to work from spring to spring. with short vacations for a few days only and none for the great army of workers. In England the idea has still another quirk. There domestic servants exact a vacation every year. This is coming to be the custom in New York.

Intensive Dairyinr.

Tn the vicinity of great cities inten- sive dairying must be followed. The cows must be kept in large numbers on small areas. and the product of these cows must be disposed of at higher price than is obtsinable for butter. The location must to a considerable degree determine the phase of dairy ing that is to receive the most atten- tion. Cream selling is one of these phases that is most accentuated on high priced land near cities.
