Find Valuable Eresco in Ruina.

One of TIE latest and most in
teresting things uncovered during the
new excavations at Pompeii under the
direction Of Professor SpinazzoIa, is
a fresco which is regarded as the
best found. It was one of the orna-
ments of the facade of house situat-
ed in the main public thoroughfare,
of which the roof was in almost per-
feet condition. It represents the
Pompeian Venus standing erect
crowned with a diadem in the midst
of flying Cupids on a chariot drawn
by four Indian elephants. Seen from
the front, the representation of these
animals is strikingly realistic. The
archaeological value of the fresco is
extremely great, for the colors are
very fresh and harmonious

vlsarlous Burial.

A good woman's husband was dis
membered and eaten by an African
tribe. She, desirous Of giving him
Christian burial, was left no other
alternative but that Of exterminating,
with the assistance Of certain accom-
modating friends armed with the de-
structive weapons of our advanced
civilization, the tribe in question,
which had shown such a receptive at
titude toward her husband. The
bodies of savages were brought back
to civilization by the avenging expedi-
ton and were placed in the grave,
surmounted by modest slab placed
there by the widow and bearing the
following inscription: "The remains
of the Rev. , beloved husband
of 49,"

hill, walling with the stone, let
ting it set into the ground as much
as possible to make il cooler; the
door, or opening, to be on the low
side Of the cellar. All of 1t should
be rooted with a good, double or lined
roof. something that viii keep out
the great heat cGthe sun.
With a root ceBir of this kind upon
your place. you are in a position to
take care of all kinds OF good tubers
and vegetables of various kinds thai
might otherwise go to waste and be
Of no benefit in any way. 1t is not
too late to plant the large sugar or
stock beets II the ground is well pre-
pared; thoroughly fine and very deep,
so that they can take right hold and
grow without difficulty. Then there
is the ruta baga turnip that will make
a good crop late in the season, which
is good keeper as well as the heavy
beet. Small heads of cabbage that
are not marketable, when put into
small hampers that will admit Of a
circulation of air, can be kept a long
while in the cellar.
The short parts of clover or alfalfa,
leaves. etc, should all be saved and
stored in a dry place in the barn for
the poultry in winter. A lot of large
gunny sacks come in very handy for
this work, as this stuff can be crowd
ed into these sacks where they are
easily handled and taken care of IN
til wanted. With a good, rich piece
of ground a nice crop of buckwheat
can be raised. If planted right now;
1t natures quickly and makes a grain
that the hens are very fond of late
in the fall and winter when fed with
corn. Plant a good variety of all the
vegetable crops, for there are very
few Of them that the hens do not
relish and are ready to take care of
the surplus or refuse parts of them.
onions are another good crop, and
one that will keep well in this root
cellar. and they are a regular tonic
for the hens in winter and are very
much relishe'd by them. Take care
of every one of them. Let us wake
up to the possibilities of these crops
and the proper handling of them, as
indicated. The taking care of these
apparently insignificant things and
turning them to account viii be
largely responsible for the per cent
of profit that we will make from our
poultry during the coming year.
Others take advantage of these things
to good account; why not you?
