Snow, When finished the house is ten or twelve feet high" and twelve to fifteen feet in diameter, and has the appear- ance of a hemisphere of snow set on ate flat side. A sort of entrance hall is added outside, with a passage big enough to crawl through, and on either side of it cubbyholes for the storage of barness, spare food, etc. A window is cut in the wall of the building and covered with seal's intes- tines sewed together. Being trans- lucent, they admit daylight or, as an alternative, a slab of clear, fresh -water ice may be set in the wall. This at - fords fen excellent substitute for'gla`ss, and can be counted on not to melt In. that frigid latitude. The house is lined with the skins which form the covering of the sum- -mer Eskinns dwelling, the object of this arrangement being to prevent the warm air inside from melting the snow roof; for between the skins and the wall there is always a layer of oold air. At the top, for ventilation and to provide a draft for the family lamp, a suss'' hole is cut. On the side of the -house opposite the entrance„ (within) a broad snow bench is built, with a long pale for ail edlge. This is the family bed.

Happy Married ]Life of Many . Celebrities. "The reason why my long married life has been so happy," said the late Lady Tennyson, "is that my husband Inas always been my lover. We are far more` lovers to -clay than when we married so very many years ago." And this has been the happy experi- ence of other wedded couples whose courtship clays have laded long as life itself. Charles Kingsley called himself "an old married man" ylien he wrote to his wife from a solitary convalescent holiday at the seaside. "This place is perfect, but it seems a dream, and im- perfect without you, I never before felt thebein of aneliuess without 1 g the beloved being whose every look and word and motion are the keynotes of my life. People talk of love eliding at the altar—Fools!" Tont Hood, to his 'last day, was the passionate lover of the wife who in- spired that sweetest of his songs, "I love these, I love thee, 'tis all that I can say," and to whom in his last year he wrote; "Blass you, bless you, again and again, my clear one, my only one, my one as good as a thousand to your old unitarian in love, T.

Pew of the piecloua jewels of the European monarchs have appeared on the market. • Already the pollee of foretell coun- tries aro troubled with reports 01 frauds . connected with these jewels. Theimposterwho professes to have a part of the "loose" loot is already ol- fering to sell the treasures at a "ri- diculously low price"' if the purchaser will advance a certain sunt "as evi- doiree of good faith." And the police of the foreign countries are surprised at the number of persons wluo are caught In the little fradulent game. The same fraud was practiaod when treasures were reported lost in the French Revolution, in the Peninsular War and in the Franco-Prussian War of 1871. While the political pot boils Russia with such intensity that an outsider takes his life in his own hands to en- ter the country, treasure seekers or their agents aro aready browsing around seeking the precious things that may come cheap among the sack- ers of the royal treasure houses. Whispers have spread of the stealthy passing of the wondrous gems con- cealed in filthy rags in the vile drink- ing dens of the criminal quarters of Petrograd. The agents of jewel seeln ers who •have ventured. into these criminal haunts ter jewels stolen from the treasure houses of Russia are many.

Hair tonics have netted fortunes for their invent- ors and there are countless remedies of the old housewife, some of which, such as the 'application of kerosene, make the writer, at least, feel that the decrease might be preferable to the euro.

One Sunday morning in the early fall of 1017, says Mr. E. F, Kallot• in the Zoological Society Bulletin, a little boy brough me a full-grown cedar wax- ing that he had rescued from a cat. Its right wing hung down limply, but a careful examination showed that the injury was only. a flesh wound. The bird seemed to realize its helpless con- dition, and showed no fear; and when I offeree' it some raspberries, it ate then while perched on the boy's lin- ger. I carefully washed the wounded wing with disinfectant and, after drying it with cotton, dusted it over with aris- tol. I then had my son hold the bird while I carefully placed the wing in its natural position and bound it with lantern -slide binding tape, which cov- ered the wing but_left the injured tis. sues exposed. I placed the bird in a box where it promptly proceeded to n its feathers. athers. e It thrived on a diet of elderberries and meal worms, and it seemed pleased to be taken for an airing. Strange to say, it made no attempt to fly. After ten days the wound had healed so well that I submerged) the bird in warm water and removed the binding tape. P- then set my patient on a branch of a cedar tree in front of the porch, where it satin the sun shine for about an hour and then be- gan -to preen its feathers. It worked particularly on the wing that had ween bandaged, and, to my astonishment, it slew to the top of a shrub thirty feet away without effort. Froin that time until it flew away with a flock of cedar waxwings I let it go and come at will.
