Where it is not convenient rate frost-proof vegetable cellar to the bouse or barn, it will be advisable to have a pit for that purpose. Properly prepared, It will keep roots plump and with a sound, sweet flavor that will often be lacking to them in the best of cellars. Who does not remember, too, the tender, Juicy apples that .used, in the days long gone, to be dug out, from time to time, of the caves in the ground where they had been "holed up" for the winter}

Remembering ju»t the taste of those apples, we give herewith flans for making pits for storing roots, apples, etc., in winter. They are taken from the Orange Judd Co.'s "Barn* and Outbuildings."

Two points must be kept in mind—ventilation and the proper decree of warmth. If the roots are loo warm and are unventilated, they wih rot in a heap. The proper degree of both air and heat may be provided tor by using the board

mwt

HHUTTKR TOR PIT.

Nail together any sort of boards. Si* feet by four is a convenient size for each shutter. Nail the boards to cleats or crow piece# that are four to six inches wide. This width must stand out perpedicular from the boards, so as to keep them from lying flat against the eide of the pit.

Choose a spot which is somewhat dry and elevated. Heap the roots upon the ground in a long neat pile, wide at the bottom and tapering to an edge at the top. Cover the heap with straw a foot deep. Lay the htraw smoothly up and down. Then upon the straw lay the shutters, as already prepared, cleats down. Do not put them quite together at the top, but leuve the straw projecting. The shutters thus rest with the wide cleats against the straw. An air gpac» of several inches is left between the straw covering and the boards, the whole length, except where the cleats touch. At the top, wbei-o 1 ho shutters come near together, turn the straw down over the edges of the boards, as seen in Fig. 2. Then shovel earth up.on the shutters thick •enough to prevent all danger from freezing.

Fig. 2 shows across section of such a root pit.

CROSS SECTION OF ROOT PIT. Ventilation must be carefully looked after in such a plnco. The top of the pit described iioni not be covered with earth at all oxcept in vary savore weather, and then places slionI I tx left without the dirt here and there, for circulation of air. When the earth covering is put on top, tbe projecting ends of the straw should bo prowed down upon the side opposite that on which they aro laid, and covered with earth.

PRAIRIE ROOT CJtLI.AR.

A very good plan .for a root cellar in prairie regions is given in Fig. 8. Dig out an excavation in the ground about 7 feet deep. Make it 8 feet wide. A cellar of this width and 30 feet long will hold TOO bushels. Cover tho top with strong poles or logs, and throw bay upon them. Upon the hay lay long strips of sod. Then heap earth upon the sod, making the whole covering about 3 feet deep. Leave a "manhole'" to get in at, cither at one corner or, if it is a long cellar, in the middle.

The manhole is made by cross poles and shorter sticks put upright Through this entrance a ladder or steps may b? put down and the vegetables got at.

F*®. &

How the pit look* from the inside is seen in Fig. 8. Slope the earth covering off both wars from th» middle ami make a gutter along the ground for rain? to run off. Fill the manhole with straw or hay, placing it upon a loose board which re«ts upon tbe log* or pole*. Openings mar b» made at proper places through which Us* roots can be shoveled, but these should be carefully closed with tbe sod ant! earth.

"So Ftp It, No NothlwV*

The following from Tbe New York Sua allows how tbe wicked newspaper people slander the poor fanner, especially the poor F«in«ylvania farmer:

A friend of mine runs a newspaper up here among the pitient and 1 ong-.m(Turing farmer* of northern Pennsylvania NU having had a vscat«oa for a nnm'.sr of years he was tickled almost tmtaa? a tw weeks ago when be woke up one morning and found himself sick abed and unable to go to work. So I came np to keep his read«r* tsdightenel on the state of tbe country and (he rof pork until he cot ar v, it again. Ui.o day the foreman of tbet isfc» fc»g notified m? that be wae going to a jrf v. 'eth? next day, an! that I mt«l to aroouJ ami raise him i»l*» shit Uor tberwM be tnmbl*. 1 made cot hoop of twit* againit delinquent subscribers, an 1 started oat to rales the foreman'* pic ukr OMKMqr. The first delinquent that

loomed op was an dd farmer patron of my friend's paper. He looked downcast and solemn. As all our advices bad been that crops were more than gool this season that fruit trees were actually breaking down under their autumn burdens that, in fact, field, garden and orchard had never been more bountiful in their returns to the tiller of the soli, I was at a loss to know how to account for the gloom and sadness that seemed to sit heavy on the honest agriculturist's breast. "Is any one sic* at your house, neighbor?5' I inquired. "Not's 1 knows on," he replied.

I "Haven't lost any friends, have youP "Haint heerd o" none."

"Thus satisfied that no domestic affliction was the cause of his melancholy, I felt easy in assuring him, on behalf of my friend the editor, that tha little bill he owed for three years* subscription to the Clarion Gong of Liberty wouli never come at a more acceptable time than just then. "Goshl" said he, and his sadness deepened. "Don't come a stiddn' no bill, these times, to any one that's tryin' to live by farmin'. I dunno what we up-country farmers is comin' to. We plough an' we sow, an' we plant an' we hoe but when it comes to the reapin' an' harvest in' an' pullin' an' diggin1 o' what we ploughed an' planted an' hoed fur, we most giner'ly have our labor fur our pains. There haint no fruit this year, no hay, no oats, no rutybagies, ho nothin'." "No fruit this year!" I had to exclaim in surprise. "Why, I hear that fruit trees are sights to see this season, and that the ground is covered with thousands of bushels of fruit that will be left to rot" "There ye be!" said the fanner, with a pitiful smile. 'That's jist the trouble. The fruit come on to the trees in the spring thicker*n huckleberries. It stuck there till it got to a load heavy enough to spile half the best orchards by breakin' down the trees. Then the most o' what was left, not bein' able to make trouble fur us poor farmers by stay in' on the trees any longer, jist tumbled to the ground W went to rottin' faster'n a hoss could trot. The fruit that stuck to the trees didn't want to be outdid in meanness by its neighbors that fell to the ground, so they jist turns to an' fills theirselfs with knots an' worms, so ez to make it gall an'wormwood to us when we went to gether 'em in an' that's the way we farmers has been treated by that branch o' the sile's'perductioni. Th' hain't no fruit this year."

The melancholy of the honest old farmer was touching. I sympathized with him, and asked him how about tbe bay, oats, rutabagas, and things. "Well," said he, in the fust placa, the begtnnin' o' the season was too dry fur grass, an' when we went to cuttin' what had managed to grow, th' come on such a wet spell that a heap on it was sp'iled. Then the wet spell dropped down jist in time to rust all the oats, an' ez fur buck whit, jist ez it bad tuckered through all the bad spells o' weather we had, along come frost right in time to knock it higher'n Gilderoy's kite. Ez fur pastur', we hadn't no early pastur', owin' to the drought, an' the wet weather fetched on the fall pastur' too late to help us out. Then corn got old too fast, and euchred us on sellin' roastin' ears fur market, an' if thua twenty bushels o' 'taters in the hull blame county that'll keep till Thanksgivin', I'll pay a bushel fur 'em that is, parvidin' I kin make any one b'lieve that my farm's wuth mortgagin' fur that much money, so's I kin rais» tho spond oolix to pay fur 'em. If ye aok about rootybagies, 1 kin tell ye that they'm goners fur good. The sloshin' rains we've had made the weeds grow faster1 hop yeast kin raise a settin' o' bread, an' they've jist choked the rootybagies deade'n a fried codfish ball, an' them that 'scaped tbe weeds has ben eat np by a bug that likes 'em better'n a 'skeeter likes to bita fat babies. Tuua a worm that oats them bugs faster thau tho bugs kin eat rootybogie? but jist to show ye how ev'rything goes agin us farmers. Til be blamed if thuz any o' them worms this year! I tell ye th' hain't no fruit this year no hay, no oats, no rootybagies, no nothin"! Don't ast me to pay no bill, for it's more'u likely some one'll be 'round with a'scription paper 'fore winter conies to ast ye to help keep mo an' a lot more o' sufferin' farmers cut o' the poorhouse!" 1 felt BOrry for the poor old farmer, and I didn't press the claim and when I heard him afterward make a bargain with a shipping merchant to deliver him 500 bushels of choice apples, a carload or two of potatoes, all the buckwheat be wanted, and oats by the ton, I wondered where the unfortunate farmer could possibly manage to obtaiu the goods to deliver, there being no fruit this year no hay,'no oats, no rutabagies, no nothin'!

ricking and racking Apples. Let winter apples and pears remain on tho trees as long as possible. It makes the flavor sweeter and richer. Then gather them carefully by hand, with the stems on. Ifyouwautto get back about the cost of the freight on them, shake them, tumble tbem into a barrel any way and every way an.l you will get just about the cost of tbe freight, if you can get ri1 of them at all. But if you want first-class prices for your apples and get a reputation as a No 1 fruit raiser and packer, read.

As the apples are picked put tbem in single layers iu broad, shallow baskets, with the bottom covered with paper or moss. If you must put more than one layer in the same basket, separate them with something soft Fruit should only be picked when dry. Take the apples, by hand, remember, from the baskets, and lay thmn in heaps in a large ary rocm. Let them lie there and dry and cool for a couple of weeks.

Then conies packing them in barrels. Throw out all knotty, bruised and specked specimenif you wish to secure a goad reputation as a packer. Put them in barrels, one layer at a time. TTuwe very par ticular lay the apples all one way, stem and blossom end. Pack the fruit as dose as possible, so that it will not pitch about and get dfcplacjd on its journey. Fill tbe barrel quite to tbe top. and bead np. Press tbe hean firmly against the apples. Some put a layer of soft papar upon the bottom and inside the head of tha barrel. Haul the barrels to market with the least possible jolting. With your apples piciel and barreled in this way, they will go around the world without rotting, and you need never (ear that yon will be without a market for tbem. Dealers will jnmp at them an.l children will cry for tbem.

Cheese Poison.

Severe sickness occasionally results from eating cheese. An Ohi4 cbeesery was broken np bscanse of the bad reputation its products got last year. For along time the cause of cbe3sa poisoning was as mysterious as the origin of milk sickness. A Dr. Vaughan has, however, at length succeeded in boiling the mystery down to a point, and getting at the heart of it Tne poison is the result of a slight putrefaction. It probably takes place in the vat whare the curds are made. The fermentation attend* ing the decay or putrefaction produces butyric acid. This with the casein of the cheese forms a, poisonous compound which Dr. Vaughan has named tyrotoxicon, in Greek literally "cheese poison." It is found in greater or less quantity in different infected cheeses.

The poison was obtained in long needleshaped crystals which are freely soluble in water, chloroform, alcohol and ether. Th9 smallest visible fragment of a crystal placed upon the end of tbe tongue causes a sharp, stinging pain at the point of application, and in a few minutes dryness and constriction of the throat A slightly larger amount produced nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Tbe poison is volatile at the temperature of boiling water, and for this reason even poisonous cheese may be eaten with impunity after being cooked. The substance has also a marked, pungent odor, and through the nose one can obtain sufficient of the volatile poison to produce dryness of tbe throat Tfcis is true, however, only of the isolated poison. In the chsese the taste and odor of the poison are both modified to such an extent that they would not be recognized.

BISHTAPIAH GOPARA.

They are so old that the data of tfietr building has disapoeared, at least from the knowledge of the common people. From all parts of India natives flock thither ito perform religious rite.*, and they aro objects of interest to travelers throughout the civilized world. Sinca the general revival of oriental stulies tha government ha3 undertaken the repair of Some of these ancient fanas. They show a high decree of civilization and a marvelous knowledge of architecture. These remarkable ruins hint, indeed, that in soma remofca post therj may have been civilizatiou and scientific knowledge equal to Our own. Tho bas-reliefo, the columns, carving, and the architecture in general show traces of great beauty. One of the best preserved of tje temples is that shown in our illustration.

Tho New York Crematory.

The retort for incinerating the bodies of tbe dead, at Newtown, Long Island, is completed. Experiments have been made with the bodies of a numbar of the lower animals in order to perfect tha workings of the machinery. There are forty dead bodies now in vaults awaiting cremation as soon as the establishment is ready. All has been prepared in a way that will be as little repulsive to tbe eye as (he old method of burial. There are two retorts, which will be heated bv Connellsvills coke to a temperature of 2,600 deg. higher than would be required to melt iron. A chapel is connected with the crematory. The dead b^Ty will bo placed upon a catafalque in the chapel, and covered with a pall. A burial swVice will be road. While this is taking place the body will be lowered beneath the catafalque, noiselessly and invisibly to the mourners, for the pa'J will still retain its shape. In tbe basement the body is wrapped in a cloth dipped in olum watar and laid npon a soapstoue slab. The slab is run into the retort upon rolling balls of fire-clay running along a groove. A small quantity of ashes will be left. These will be placed in an urn. and returned to the friends of tbe dead. Urns will probably cost $2 apiece. The cost of cremation will be about $25.

A Monster Meteor.

The largest aerolite that has bean seen in receut years fell with a rush and roar like Niagara upon the farm of Mr. Bnckiand, in Washington county, Pa., a few days ago. A mail carrier, Ellis Jonas, beard tbe noise. His horsas beard it too, and stopped stock still, refusing to be urged on. Then Jones saw a coal of fire as large as a barn whirling madly through the air. It had a long fiery tail which tapered off into a smoky, dark tail. The thing turned ashen in hue. struck the earth with tremendous force and broke into three pieces.

Tbe meteorolite is more than thirty feet square. One-third of it penetrated the earth. Tbe mass remaining above ground is regarded with great curiosity, and draws visitors from many quarters. It is grayish in color, streaked with red, A good many people who call themselves civilised are still ignorant and suparstitious enough to believe the fall of this meteoric stone means something bad.

The Latest Thing In Bogus Baiter. Tbe latest novelty in the manufacture of bogus butter is the use of gelatine. The makers of oleomargarine first began with cl?an beef fat, then used common dirty fat, and have now come down to pork grease. This is not, however, cheap enough, and they have been extending it with cottonseed oil, sesams oil and otter sustance Hardness is given by stearins. They have just struck upon gelatine, which made of tbe hoofs of neat cattle and horses. Of itself it costs as much as the other things, but it possesses an unequaled power to absorb water. One pound will take np ten poonds of water, which «*t» nothing, and two or three pound, of gelatine to the keg reduces the expense of making tbe whole mixture to five or six ceats a pound.

Cttaalion la Facia.

Th? municipal authorities of Plarfs hare decided that the remains of all tbe bodies dissected in the Paris hospitals shall henceforth be ere am ted, and, the average number of such bodies is abort 4,000 a year, a special crematory to be erected. Bone, Milaa aad GoUm h&e so fiar IMM at the

bead of Dm CM nation movement la Europe, and Borne seems so far to po—cas tbe most perfect crematory. It oottiista of a handsome building, and the incineration is made in such a way that eveo the gases are consumed. Yet the expense of burning a body does not excead six francs, or a little over a dollar. Tbe crematory has been in operation about two years, and the body of Senator Cypriani was the first consumed in it

International Eihlbttion In 188ft. France is going to have, in 1888, another international exhibition, with which will be combined a centennial festival commemorative of ttie first revolution. It is questionable whether the monarchical states of Europe will be particularly anxious to encourage the entarprise, but America ought to take a more than usual interest in the realisation of 'the scheme. The French government has already appropriated (30,000 for the preliminary work. The scheme is most likely to be carried out at Courbevoie instead of the Champs de Mars. This change will have the advantage of allowing much more spaca to the exhibition grounds.

A New Tanning Material.

Anew tanning agent, likely to be of great value, is said to have been discovered in Arizona, one which also has the property of adding weight to the leather. The plant is an annual, and grows upon desert and dry upland soil It is known by the Mexicans and Indians as "gonagra." Tbe report states that the plant has a root somewhat longer and more scraggy than the cultivated beet, though resembling it iu appearance. Practical use demonstrated that its tanning properties were about three times as great as the common oak bark, aud that in all essentials it was superior to the bark in the manufacture of leather.

Liong Cloaks.

We gave last week some short wraps and jacket patterns. Tha long cloaks are very long, within a couple of inches of the bottom of the dress usually.

LONG CLOAK.

It is a half dolman shape. There are semi-sleeves a little more defined than the armholes of the awkward, broad-backed, old-fashioned dolman. Tbe cloaks are made to fit tbe tremendous siz) of the tournure. The one in the illustration has a sash-like draping at tbe back. It is of rich brocaded black velvet trimmed all around with fur. Small muff to match. The brocaded or stamped velvet cloaks are also made in colors. Besides velvets, another material for these rich doljnaiu is the thick Persian and India elo -hs that oome in mixed colors and palm lsaf patterns. Then, too, tbe long cloaks are often of sealskin, costing |400 to 9600. a5*,

Bustles. £*,

MATT*

These were never more immense in size than they are at present. Often a fashion that has been in a good while, just before it collapses and goes out finally, swells up enormously and assumes most outre shape. After this spasm it will shutdown altogether and silentlysteoljaway. Especially this saems to be ttue of fashions designed to inflate woman's skirts. What balloon-like, gigantic sis? crinoline skirts took on, at the last you remember. A skirt five yards and a quarter around was no novelty. Thus tbe hoopskirt gave its last kick and departed to tbe shores whithar the old fashions retreat

It is to be devoutly hoped tbe mammoth toornure is likewise now in its last stages. Best made dresses no longer have a separata bestla. Steel hoop* and a hair cloth cushion are sewn into the skirt lining, forming a stiff framework, over which tbe cloth is draped. Tbe structure when dene is strong enough and broad enough to carry a basket of fruit on. It is a deformity.

Halloween.

The last night of October will be Halloween. and romantic damsels in Europe and America will improve the time-honorei opportunity to look ahead for a year by such mystic means as are customary to discover whether they are to change their maiden condition and become subject to tha tyrant man. There are different methods of peeping into next year, and ono is fully as trustworthy as anothar. For instance, a lady fills her mouth full of water and rues belter skelter along the street for two bloc'ts. If on the way she swallows or ejects any of the water, her chances are over for at least twelve months. Another method, equally effective, of getting a glimp3e of an intended husband or wife, is for a candidate to retire with a looking-glass into a cellar. At the hour of midnight the person glares intently into the mirror, and, just as the last stroke of twelve has died away, sees looking over his or her shoulder tha image of the intended oue». This plan has one peculiar merit—as the figure seen is usually the one which already is in tho mind's eye, it is likely to be that of the gentleman most in favor.

A game much played on Halloween is diving for chestnuts and apples. The nuts or fruit are placed in a tub of water, and the players, with their hands tied behind their backs, bob their heads under the water and bring up what they can in their mouths. Sometimes long rows of candle ends, nuts and fruit are tied to a string across the room. The players, who are blindfolded, walk toward the string, and, without baing allowed to moke use of their sense of touch, bite blindly at the dangling prizes If they catch a candle end they aro compelled to eat it Blindmans buff ani private theatricals are also indulged in, together with fortune telling and mesmerism. 1 J.-' s*z .Embroidered Kobe*.

Pattern dreise embroidered an 1 braided, are seen in the shops in great vr.riety. A foule serge dross, for example, which comas In olive green, blue, brown, black and other colors, has an apron front heavily embroidered, or "pearled," as itis called, with metallic beads in a large, handsome pattern. There are also narrow bands to match, which form collar, cuffs and a trimming for the bodice.

Another foale serge, the ground being likewise in various colors, is embroidered with silver tinsel and wool chenille in frise patterns.

A camel's hair groan i, in black, brown and popular shades, had a very handsome design done wide soutache braid. This was stitched on in a!n invisible way by cne •ide, so that the braid stood up on edge, thus bringing the pattern out in high relief.

Another odd idea was shown in a green ^oule serge tbe design was cut out of this material, the edges being secured by a heavy stitching of silk, which was almost as handsome as buttonholing would have been. There was enough of this to form a panel on the side, or front, a vest for the bodice, cuffs, etc., and when brought out by being placed over silk or satin of a lighter shade or prettily contrasting color, the effect was very handsome indeed.

A camel's hair serge material, coming in all colors, had a velvet applique and silk embroidery very rich in effect.

There are also very handsome embroidered wool goods which are sold by the yard. A foule, for example, in brown, had a border a third of a yard deop, of a graceful design.
