A GOOD CELLAR.
Conditions Which Must Be Secured to
Have It Frost and Heat Proof.

Those who contemplate building, or
those who have poor cellars. viii do
well to consider carefully the essen
tials OF a good cellar. A good cellar
must be cool IN summer, and proof
against freezing in winter Therefore,
depth is an important point-a deep
cellar meeting both these require
ments. AS we go deeper beneath the
surface there Is a tendency towards
equalization of temperature. In the
northern portions Of the United States
frost seldom penetrates more than
four or five feet; while in summer the
subsoll at three feet deep remains at
about 60 degrees temperature during
midsummer heat. A cellar bottom
should be six feet below the general
surface Of the soil.
A cellar under a house is not only
a necessity in most cases. but is, in
the colder portions Of the country, a
great help in keeping the house warm
in cold weather. A house with a eel
lar beneath will require less coal for
maintaining living temperature than a
house without one. Is cellar with a
cement floor warmer in summer than
one with the natural earth? Some
say so. AS far as cleanliness and rat
proof conditions are concerned. ce-
ment makes the ideal floor for eel
lar. Since the warmth of a cellar In

OF material that is a good conductor.
Rock. and with this we may class
cement, is a better conductor than
sand OF clay, and hence makes a bet
ter floor. The bottom Of a cellar
should be dry, and dry sand or clay
is a poor conductor. and should be
covered with cement; thus the soil
beneath win remain moist, while the
cement surface will be dry. thus full

rough stone was laid up four or FIVE
feet from the cellar wall and the in

embarked here the other day. She
was tall and strong. blue-eyed and
yellow.haired. She wanted to know
at once if there were any letters for
her. The postmaster at the pier, after
getting her name, said, by way of a
joke: Is it business or a love letter
that you expect?' The girl faltered:
"A business letter.
Well, there's nothing here said
the man after looking over the assort
ment.
"The girl hesitated. Then, blushing
as red as a rose, she said: Would
ycu mind just looking among the love
letters now, sir?'"

POINTS FOR SMART DREssERs.
Little Things That Go to Make the
Well Dressed Woman.

Wherever stays are slipped into
place sew them with French knots.
A few heavy white and brown linens
are trimmed with soft white kid.
Linen blouses in very light brown
relieved by white are smart and sery-
iceable.
Some of the new dimities are set
of with the dearest little insertions
Of silk Spanish lace.
Tailored waists Of pongee and
washable taffeta appeal to many
women desiring change from heavy
linens.
The newest waist buckle is mad
of small roses, and very charming it
looks against white or pale blue
gown.
An important feature Of the tailored
shirt waist is the pocket, which is
stitched upon the front on the left
side.
A great deal of bright red kid is
used for outdoor and athletic cos.
tunes. the same being true of dark
green.
Belts, watch fobs and outing stocks
are made OF heavy linen simply EN-
broidered and decorated with kid.
Among the trifes that always
please are the collar and cuffs of
heavy lace, the cuffs being deeper
than ever, and finished in points at
the top in very smart effect.

German Coffee.

German coffee owes its flavor to the
presence of chicory. Now and then
coffee is made with chicory and lit
tie Of the coffee bean, but usually Ger
man coffee consists of two-thirds cof-
fee and one-third chicory, or even a
smaller amount of chicory, according
to taste. The German housewife
roasts her own coffee once a week.
It is then sealed in glass jars ready
for use. The coffee is made in a
double drip machine and Is never al
lowed to boil. but the boiling water is
poured on the coffee in the upper re.
ceptacle of the coffee pot, which is
placed on the warm corner of the
stove.

the horse bean Is an easier and surer
crop than the pea to grow.
And now about its value as a feed
for horses. cattle and sheep. In speak
ing on this point writer In the Coun-
try Gentleman says; In the first
place. It should be remembered that
peas and beans are very rich in al
bumen (protein); the legumes-that
is. peas. beans. etc. are slowly digest
ed and therefore last long; they make
thick blood. and are constipating.
Furthermore. have always found
them to lessen the milk flow and
stimulate the sexual desire. On the
other hand, beans give a fast. hard,
very desirable meat and fat, and give
animal strength. II follows therefore
that beans should not be fed to milch

hard-working farm horses It is excel

one-third Of the grain ration: thus
four pounds Of beans (craclzed) mixed
with 70 pounds Of oats. But do not
feed them TO carriage horses, neither
70 bearing mares nor TO young ami
mails. II is an excellent idea always
to feed wheat bran at the same time.
As a fattening feed for oxen and
pigs, beans are especially to be recon-
mended; they should be ground, and
to oxen six to eight pounds can be
given, mixed with other feed; to
sheep, only one-third to one-half pound
apiece. Toward the end of the fat.
tening period. I have found it neces-
sary to leave the beans out and sub
stitute another feed, in order to i'm.
prove the flavor of the meat and fat.

EnaIlsh Vi. American RAILWAYS.

The upshot Of a comparison between
English and American railways is
that each country has provided itself
with the system that. broadly con-
sidered, answers its own needs the
best, and that, when all circumstances
are taken into account, neither has
much to learn from the other. Ger
tain great defects stand out in each:
English railway financing and Amer
lean railway tarelessness are both
deserving Of ctnsure. Yet these de-
fects are quito explainable in their
outgrowth from the physical condi-
tons at hand, and they are not amena-
BILE to any off-hand remedy. Likewise,
certain points Of especial attractive
ness, such as the English baggage sys-
tenn and the pnnctuality of trains. and
the American luxury Of through
travel, have srisen from a complicat-
ed set Of local circumstances. and
could not be transplanted unless all
the circumstances were transplanted
as we'll. Most forcible of all is the
impression gained by such a study
that the essential belief, the very
creed and doctrine Of one country.
as regards the economies Of its rail
way working. may not be so much as
discussed in another, where the same
ultimate problem is gotten at in q
wholly different way.

Staten Islanders Protest to Commissioner
Hebberd Against tuberculosis Institution.

A committee of business of Staten Island,
appointed by the Staten Island Board Of Trade,
called on Charities Commissioner Hebberd. at
Bellevue Hospital, Monday, to protest against
the erection of the proposed tuberculosis sana-
forum at Port Richmond, Staten Island. J. B.
Pearson was chairman of the committee He told
Commissioner Hebberd that Staten Island was too
near the Atlantic Coast. the air too damp and the
changes of temperature too great and sudden to
make the site selected a suitable for the treat
ment of consumptives. He added that Staten ISL
anders also objected to the erection of the sana-
forum because the coming of eight hundred con-
sumptves. which number the proposed hospital
will accommodate. would threaten the health OF
residents of the island and also depreciate the
value Of property there.
Commissioner Hebberd told the committee that
he would give the arguments due consideration and
make known his decision within a. reasonable time.
