My cellar is under the house and has brick walls and cement floor. l put the potatoes on the floor and covered them with four inches of dry sand. In about a week hauled out a wagon load of rotten potatoes, and then put the remainder in a bank with straw and earth. Per h ps the cement floor and brick wa Is had something to do with the rotting, and the air there was much cooler than outside.
 You have about stated the cause of rotting. The potatoes always go through a sweat after storing, and if chilled then, they will surely rot. You put them on the cold cement floor, and C7ey were chilled. Where 1 live

EXTENDS FAR INTO THE PAST
Scotch Professor of Opinion That Gn. tiquity of Man Has Been Much
 Underestimated.

In his recent work, "The Antiquity of Man in Europe" Prof. James Geikie of Edinburgh university de- clares his belief that man has in- habited Europe between 250,000 and
 5oo.000 years. All such estimates are based on geological facts such as the rate at which sediment is de- posited. or at which stalagmitcs grow-that are very hard to deter mine with any accuracy, but no one now doubts that man is far older lnan men of science originally sup
 posed him to be. "Whcn we reflect, -uvs Professor Gclkic lon the many geographical changes that man has witnessed the sulmerEeHoe and re- elevation of enormous tracts. the ero- sion of valleys and general lowering of the surface bv dcnudation when we consider that he has lived through a succession of stupendous climatic revolutions; that he has seen widely entrusted foras and famas alter natelv occupying our contnent-tun- aras, steppes and great forests sue eeeding each other again and again We must feel convinced that the few thousand years that have elapsed since the downfall of Babylonian, Assyrian and Egyptian empires are as nothing compared with the long cons that separate the earliest times of history from the apparition of paIeolithic man in Europe. - Youths Companion.

 After that a temperature of 45 to 50 will be warm enough. A superintendent of a large school in Virginia wrote me last year that he had a large cemented basement and wanted to know if he could keep sweet potatoes in ir. told him that if he would provide heating apparatus, and would run the temperature up to S5 or 90 for a few days till the potatoes had dried off from the sweat, coping the yentiIators open when firing, he could keep the potatoes there.

single women live longer than mar
ried women, that women who hu,d
endowment policies live longer than
those holding straight life po.icies.
that business women live longs- than
married men.
Asked for a theory, the discoverer
admitted that he had no explanation
to offer except that, perhaps. women
holding an endowment policy grimls
resolved to hold on to life until they
got it, whereas the women holding
straight life policies simply Rlded
their hands and exclaimed. oh
what's the use This theory may be
as good as any, il any were any good.
On the same reasoning that a definite
aim in life tends to prolong it the
spinsters, it is presumed live longer
because they are set on getting mar
ried, while the married woman hav-
ing attained the goal Of matrimony
has no further ambition. The prin-
ciple, however, can not be applied to
the greater longevity Of the business
woman than the married man, but
why should they have been compared
at an?
The fact Is that, like good many
other statistics. these do not prove
ANYTHING whatever. They lead no.
where. These results simply happened
from tabulation of certain class
at a certain time. There is nothing to
indicate that they represent general
tendencies or that even in this class
