Potatoes, turnips, table beets,car- rots, tete., should be kept where it is perfectly dark, and the protection should be afforded as soon as they are taken from the ground. If stored in a cellar. there is nothing better than a good tight barrel. with three inches of sand on top. Take any cheap material, old bran. sacks are best, cut in pieces the right size to well cover the top of the barrel, then put in the sand and the following spring You will find your vegetables as fresh and .plump as when taken from the ground. Keep the cellar cool, but never take any chance of letting frost get it. If there is theleast danger of this, burn a few lamps, or better, a kerosene stove, till danger is over. A great aancunt of storage, room can be gained by ranking the barrels in tiers one above the other. Potatoes deteriorate in cooking qualities when exposed to light, pro- bably more than may vegetable grown and should strictly be kept in perfect darkness if the highest quality is to be. preserved. Probably the cheapest and most desirable method of storage in large quantity 1s in pits in the field. Dig the pits when the crop is taken out and fill directly. Do not fear water for you never will find any either in actual or imaginary quan- tity in the pits. Experience suggests that a pit 8 ft. long, 3 wide and 3 to 4 deep for general purposes is best, though for reange•Is the length might be greater with safety. Fillg the pits even full or a trifle, less and cover immediate - Ly with a good heavy layer of tops or if these are valuable for feeding with bright straw or hay. Do not put on any earth until tbere is dan- ger of a winter freeze, and then do not cover more than 5 or 6 inches deep. When indications point to the ground freezing :.' or 3 inches in 24 hours shape. the top of the pit like the Roof of a house with all the soil. It is not necessary to snake any provisions for drawing off surface water. Beforecov- ering on :tny soil a stick should be placed in each corner of the pit as nearly perpendicular as possible for a guide in covering. As simple as the operation may seem. au expert can- not cover evenly and be certain that exposed por thins are s,sfe without these guides. Cover the cold side much more s_curely than the a sunny side. `fake out these vegetables any sunny day dur- ing the winter when wanted, when the mercury is above freezing. Do not leave any vegetables iu a pit to be taken out at another time. In fill- ing something over 2,000 pits t never have found any sign of water and very rarely damage by frost. The chief danger in the use of this method is in. covering with earth, before the sweating process is com- plete. Cabbage are best kept by turning the heads dowel on the top of a After placing as closely as possible. standing in this Way for a day or two se that all the water may be well drained out, throw up the earth on each side in, the shape of ;t roof, com- pletely covering the whole cabbage, stump and all. When taken out they should be marketed at once. Onions will keep best in a temperature very near freezing, but the air must be dry, and the layer about a foot deep or less. Shake over a little bedding, and if the frost happens to touch the bulbs no harm will be done. Squash and pumpkins keep all right if the air is dry and moderately warm. If a family has vegetables in. ever so small a quantity, let the supply be cared for so that no wilting and subse- quent deterioration in quality may en- sue.

Varying temperature of butter at time of salting makes it pos- sible for more salt to be lost inwork- ing it sometimes than others. A dryer butter is sometimes turned out than at others, and this influences the con- dition. If the butter be allowed to stand. and drain before salting, less salt will be required than if it is add- ed at once. Then, too, one must study the mar- ket. rt supplying private customers, their tastes will decide the question. If they want half an ounce to the Pound. .t is to the maker's interest to furnish it thus salted, and if two ounces, then all the better for the seller, eEt'AR:ATORS COMPARED. Professor Hayward gives the result of. a series of tests of the more prom- inent makes of hand separators, that will open the' eyes of those who are always being misled by separator talk. The tests were carried on for a year, with occasional interuptions, ending March 20, 1897, and the results are summed up in. the following conclu- sions: 1. These trials show very little, if any, difference in completeness of skimming and the total amount of fat recovered in the cream between the different makes of separators used in the. test. 2. With one exception, all the sep- arators fulfilled the claims of their manufacturers as to capacity and effi- ciency of skimming. 3. Ali the separators used in the trial did satisfactory work under a far wider range of conditions than is recommended by the manufactur- ers. 4. Considerable difference seemed to exist between the various sep- arators as to substantialness and dur- ability. 5. There is awide difference in the ease with whioh the various separators were operated. 0. The cheaper and newer machines did :is efficient work as the older and mora expensive ones. 7 There is no difference in the gnal- ity of cream delisered by the various maeh Ines. 8. There is no difference in the churn - ability of cream from the separators used in these testis. 9.

OFFICE DROWSINESS. .i quite Common Trouble and Bow It May be Cared. "Some men are quite martyrs to of- fice drowsiness, a physician remark- ed the other day. "Any monotonous sound near them, the hum of traffic outside, or even the scratching of a clerk's pen is sufficient to induce 'i feeling of sleepiness, which it is impos- sible to resist. "The worst of it is that the symp- tom is so seldom regarded as any- thing serious, though I have known it to be. the beginning of critical men- tal trouble.

FOR TUE , WINDOW GARDEN. t r Among aid the plants whi'Ah are suc- cessfuiky grown in the winter window garden node is more satisfactory, pee- bably, than the cacti.. There are several members of this great'and variedfami- :y which are espeoiaily adapted tow'in- dow cnitkre. They are easily grown, although: slaw, but are green, and when in flowering are very pretty. They seem quite indifferent to drought, neglect, or the dry, heated atmosphere of the sitting room, but, of course, re- spond to good care the same as other p:'ants. Sours sf teem take on ex- tremely fantastic shapes, and although many do not boom until quite an age, others flower comparatively young. One woman who is especially fond of this paint says that if they are given some care they grow far more beauti- ful eautiful than if left to battle drought, dust and neglect. The structure of the cacti family issuch that they are enabled to endure, for mauthe in succession, treat- ment whichwouid•kill other plants, and that fact has probably led to the belief that the cacti need little care; conse- quently anesees more poor specimens of this plant, almost than of any other. Some of them bear beautiful floevers, and even those which do not flower are such sturdy growers that they have murk to recommend them. Some aro extremely odd and awkward looking, and others are very graceful growers. A 3 cacti should be petted high; that is, the surface of the soil' around the stem and root of the: plant, in the cen- ter of the pot, should. be higher than at the sides. The drainage must be per- fect. So potted, there w•i::li be little dan- ger of overwintering unless the soli Is I kept wet constantly. The soil requires a little sand in its composition, but oth- erwise itshauld be about like that pre- pared for geraniums, When budded or in bloom they should be given a weak liquid fertilizer on•.e a witek, and the soil should not be allowed to become poor. Cacti are propagated from seed and from. cuttings. The cuttings should be taken from healthy plants, in the growing fteason, and when planted should be set in a warm place in mod - old indigestion cure—a glass of hot 'wa- ter, when the feeling comes on. Te keep the eyes tightly closed for three or four minutes, and then bathe them in very warm water often gives re- lief at once, And another good idea is to lower the head for a few sec- onds to a level with the knees. Above all, one should never give in to the feeling of drowsiness by • taking a short nap in the. hope of waking up brighter after it. At the same time the condition of the office plight be looked to. The slightest defect in ventilation will of- ten 'cause one man to be affected by office drowsiness, even though other people in the same room feel nothing of it whatever:" TOBACCO IN PENITENTIARIES. rb+-r The Cutting otrwas Welded on Long Ago — What it Cost. The trouble with the convicts in the St. Vincent de Paul Penitentiary, which has been called a tobacco riot, because the prisoners spent three nights and days in calling for the weed, has directed attention to the tobacco policy in the. Justice depart- ment. The abolition of the use of tobacco in the prisons is pne of sir Oliver Mawat's reforms as Minister of Justice within the last few months, but the gradual withdrawal of tobacco supplies has been the policy of the departmentfor some years. The cost o of the luxury, which was as o n tin gent upon good behavior, in the various penitentiaries in 1895-90 was as fol- lows—Kingston, $517, or 93 cents an inmate per annum; Si. Vincent de Paul Penitentiary, $498, or $1.25 an inmate; Dorchester Penitentiary, $180, or 90 cents an inmate; Manitoba Peni- tentiary, $200, or $2.26 an inmate; ,British Columbia, $113, or $1.17 an inmate.

In watering cacti tepid water should. be used, and they should be showered or sprayed occasionally to keep free from dust. One good thing about thein is that insects seldom trouble then:. Tiley require plenty of suntshine and a warm corner, except when in bloom, when the flowers will not fade so soon if kept in shade. Among the favorites for window culture is the Ipipbyllums.

The Phillocactus grows tali, with fiat, angular stents. It grows rapid:sy',and shrnl,ld be given a rich soil. There are any number of others which aro slow but satisfactory growers. For the busy woman who loves plants the cacti probably will give the. beat satis- faction because of their hardiness, and although many are not fond of them, others prefer them above all other plants. utsually often enough, unless there may be cobwebs to remove.

Then the whiting is dusted thickly over it; after that it is wiped off with ane of the ehrnnioia iikins, which is dampened, but not wet, and lastly, the dry chamois skin is used for polishing. Another exceCllent method is to take a sponge and dip its in a:aelue!. rub the glass over quickly with this, wipe with a newspaper and polish with: a chamois skin.

Even less than 100 years ago thehabit of frequently bathing the entire person was called; by good, old, careful house- wives a "nasty French fashion." At the present day the charm of a. woman is !the seaise of cleanliness about her—the bloom, of her sweet skin, the luster la her hair, the sparkle of her teeth{.

CLOTH MAD1I 01? GLASS. A Europeatn manufacturer is turn- ing out a novel kiwi of headgear for woinan's wear. They are composed of glass -cloth, and have the same shim- mer and brilliancy of color as silk, and, what is of greater advantage, are impervious to water. In Russia there has for a long time existed a tissue manufactured from the fibre of a peculiar filamentous stone from the Siberian mines, which, ley some secret process, iss'hredcled and spun. into a fabric, which. although soft to the touch. and pliable in the extreme, is of so durable a nature that it never wears out. This is probably the ori- gin of the idea of producing spun -glass dress lengths. The glass -cloth is thrown in the fire when dirty. 'like asbestos, by which it is rendered ab- solutely elean—"purified by fire," as it were—or if slightly soiled, is simply brushed with a 'hard brush and soap and water. The material is to be had in white, green, lilac, pink and yellow, and bids fair to become very fashionable for evening dresses. ALL IN ONE, A new article of furniture, adapted especially for bachelors, but which will be found very useful in small bedrooms, hotels, eto., consists 'primarily of a wardrobe of abnormal depth from front bo back to afford ample hangingg cup- board accommodation. t. turn -down flap, with a .mirror on the upper side, when raised discloses a washstand, be- neath which Is a cupboard for the wa- ter can and other toilet accessories. This being closed,a writing flap may be let down, giving access to aset of pigeon holes, ink well, p'en tray and drawers, above which is a tidy little bookcase for a goodly number of vol- umes.
