MAKING A DRY CELLAR. Most cellars are placed to deeply in the ground, especially those which are built in treaelterous soils. Grade up to the house instead of digging deeply into the earth, for many rea- eons which might be eaumerated. After the cellar is excavated, one foet larger on each side than the pro- posed building, dig trenches 11-2 feet deep where the walls are to be laid. Fill them with broken stones or coarse gravel to near the top, and spread be- fore beginning the walla Or dig a narrow trench one foot deep outside of the wall, and in this lay carefully hard burned tile drain, 3 inches in diameter, which should have trona 3 to 4 inches fall from the farthest pont to the' outside of the lowest,cornere Cover the drains with coarse gravel or fine stones to the top of trench, and cover thew with a board toi exetude the soil until the earth becomes settled.

The discovery of the important part played by various bacteria in produc- ing the flavor and aroma of butter has led to the Inixoduetion of what are known as commercial butter cultures, and dairymen have been led to hope that by the use of such cultures and of the process of pasteurizing, the quality of their butter might be ma- terially improved. Recent trials seem to indiente that eleanliness, the care- ful selection of milk, and close atten- tion to details promise to effot more in improving the flavor of butter than pasteurizing and the use of corn:mere cial cultures. With pasteurized exeant, the acid forming cultures were founo to give slightly but distinctly bettet results than were obtained from unpasteurized cream ripened spontan- eously, vrhile non acid forming cul- tures gave results, if anything slight- ly inferior to those obalained by spon- taneous ripening. With unpasteuriz- ed cream, as might have been expected, the results 'were less marked. A home- made altaxter, however, carefully 'pre- Pareti from skim milk, was found to give as good, if not better, results than the more expensive commercial cul- ture*, and this was true both with pasteurized and with raw cream. No distinctly beneficial results were ob- served froze pasteurizing, although the experixnents were not specially plan-, .n.ed to.test this point. ASTORIA For'Infe.nta and Children.

Christmas Island, in the Indian Ocean, is a curious place, according to the description of Mr. Charles W An- drews, an Englishman, who recently visited it. The island is entirely cov- ered with forests, except on the ver- tical faces of the cliffs, and ferns and creepers beautify its scenery. The climate is delighttul all the year round, but some of the inhabitants axe not so ple,a.siereg. Among these are swarms of rats and many varieties of land crabs. The robber crab abounds, and when Mr. Andrews sat down for a short time anywhere in the forest p.m:niters of these crabs enuld be seen 0.rvproaeb1ng. They readily climb trees in search of food.

It is an interesting thing to knoti that 4,200 ,species of plants are. gath- ered and used for commercial purposes. Of these 420 have a perfume that is d pleasing anenter largely into the manufacture of scents and soaps. There are more species of white flowers gath- ered than of any other color -1,124 in all. Of these 187 have an agreeable scent, extraordinarily large pro- portion. Next in order come yellow blossoms, with 951. 77 of them being perfumed. Red flowers number 823, of which 84 are scented. The blue flowers are of 594 varieties, 34 of which are perfumed, and the violet blossoms number 306, 13 of which are pleasantly odoriferous. COSTLY BIBLE.

The e.xistenee of Afriean pygmies at mare than one point seems to be prov- ed. German soldiers stationed in the Catneroons, the colony on the east coast of Africa, have brought out of the foreet seven pygmies similar to those :recently described. by Albert Bushnell Lloyd. The largest of them is four feet tall, the smallest about three feet. One young women, Ala.n- tuba by name, was very carefully mea- sured and described. She was nine- teen years old, three feet eke inches tall, chocolate brown in color, her face tattooed- 51er eyes are somewhat diagonal, after the Japanese manner. The head is large, the forehead slopes backward, the hair is black and curly. The pygmies seem quite as in t el 1 igent as other natives. 0:6081841141.010000100.111.0(6 Heart Spasms R.

With the reconquest of the Sudan he feels that his task is at an end.- In September IC& he witnessed .the cap- ture of Omdurman, where he was for -elev,en- years a close captive. He has. taken part in the past three years' olierations which •led to the fall of the Khalifa, and now he intends to retire to the quiet of his native land, after his many years of adventure, peril and hardship in tropical Africa. A man's life is seldom, so filled with vicissitudes as that of Stalin. In all his career in the Sudan he was either the victim of Mahdisra or its foe in the field. Hie had been Governor of the Darfur province scarcely eight months when the stream of Mahdism that had already overrun Kordofan drifted hate bis terriorty. Be fought the Mahdi until 'his ammunition' was gone and he had lost the most of his troops. Father Ohrwaider says that in this campaign with an enemy that out- numbered his force ten to one Slatin Was often in the saddle twenty-four hours at a time with little or 50 food. He slept on the ground beside his na- tive troopo, and lived on dhurra soaked in water. His powers of endurance •were wonderful, and in action he was must heroic., One day.. a bullet shat- ered..one of bis fingers. He seized .,the hanging -remnant -with his other hand, ordered thennin standing net IV him to tut it oftwith his knife arid then joined .again in the lighting. But beyond theereuelf ef evil succor, as be was, he coelil vdt baldout when troops • and aixtmonition failed him, and heivas forced to surrender after twenty-sev- en hard fights. I Nearly fifteen years ago Siatin was taken into the Mahdi's presence a pris- oner. The IVIabdi had much respect for brave men and personally treated the fallen Governor of Derfur -with kindness but Abduileh, in twhose cus- tody he was placed, threw Slatin into prison, where be was kept in chains for about a year. He suffered terribly from hunger and illetreatment, and was frequently informed that he would soon be put to death. But finally the Khalifa relaxed his severity and told Stadia he might thank his stars that be was a prisoner when Khartoum was taken, for otherwise he would have shared the fate el Gordon. In the nine remaining years of his captivity, Slatin was always nutlet the Kitalifa's eye, and as one of his body- guard it was his duty to tender per- sonal service, and be was treated AS a servant. He was lodged in a house next to that of the Khalifa'and itwas absolutely forbidden him to exchange a word with any GOB except by permis- sion of his master. Like all the other white prisoners, he was oompelled nominally to embrace Mohaname- diem aud unless he had done so he would not have been permitted to live. He was watched so vigilantly that it was extremely diffieult for him Lo es- cape, and, though, secret agents from Cairo were repeatedly sent to Omdur- man to help. hint to get away, no op - port unit y prornising success presented itself till Feb. 20. 1895, when he 'con- trived to get out of the city in the night to the rendezvous where camels and attendants were waiting for him. and then began the forced marches down the Nile that 80011 placed hint out of reaeh of the Ehallfa's pursuers. He has earrsed his rest. VEGETARIANS, A queer exhibition has been opened in Berlin -that of tho Vegetarian So., elety-in whieh 60 Children WeTe shown who have never tottehed Other build,.

A letter written by an artist who is painting there gives an enthusiastie description of the Scilly Islands, which' have, so far, been eomparatively Tani - known to tourists. Even the English have been slow in realizing the chaz•ns of the islands so near their own shores, but it seems that, this epring, many artists have gone to "daffodil land," and tlie winter exhibitions will prob- ably be floodedowith pletures of the is Daffodils have 'always grown ij1 great profusion ha the Salty Islands: February and Merela are the height of .their .blossoming tiMie, and, to quote. thn t ..
