The eockroarh killer Is one of tba cu
riosities of Chicago. Not on account of
his personal appearance, but of the nov
elty of his vocation. There are four or
five persons who live by the death of
cockroaches, rat9 ami mice, but the
best known is nn old German, nearly 00
years of ajje, who has an office on Wash
ington street. A reporter of tho Inter
Ocean found tho old gentleman the other
ilay in his plnco surrounded by tho deadly
compounds ho needs in his business.
"Kat nil you want, it's rat poison," cor
dially said the old man, ns the reporter
picked up n box of paste. "That stuff
in tho red boxes is cockroach poison, nnd
the bug poison is in the yellow pack
ages." "What is food for the roaches is poison
for tho bugs, is it?"
"Yes. Hug poison won't kill cock
roaches, cockroach poison won't kill bugs,
nnd both of 'em won't kill rats; rat paste
won't kill them, because they won't
cat it."
"II6w do you kill cockroaches?"
"We blow 'em up with powder not
tho kind of powder that kills men,
though. See that funnel on the end of
thoso bellows? Well, we put tho jiow
der in that, nnd then blow it through tho
nozzle into the cracks nnd crevices where
he lives, lie doesn't live long nfter. We
kill bugs tho same way, using tho other
powder."
"Pays pretty well, doesn't it?"
"Oh, fairly. Most of it is contract
work. Wo take contracts for cleaning

Larger quantities have to 1 c washed be

Authorities differ as to the best time
to cut hay. As a rule farmers wait too
long before cutting, and to strike it just
right requires judgment and experience.
Save the wood ashes to use ns a fer

Hogs are excellent gleaners of tho
wheat fields. We have never -observed
any ill effects upon the animals if there
is plenty of clover nnd wnter as well as
some wheat in the field. Sheep, on tho
other hand, wo should hardly care to
trust on the stubbles.
If the air in tho cellar is too damp the
dampness can be removed by placing a
peck or so of unslackcd lime iu an open
box on the floor. A peck of unslacked
lime will absorb about seven pounds, or
more than threo quarts of water, and in
this way the air in a cellar can always be
kept ury.
A correspondent of the Sprinfield lie

when it was necessary, is almost obsolcto.

more than all they get is worth, says
Waldo F. Brown, in tho New York
Tribune. If this dry season compels
them to save a part of their fodder so ns
to teach them its value, that will be some
compensation for short crops. The great
bugl ear to these farmers in feeding corn
stalks is the waste of butts. "What can
we do with the coarse stalks?" they ask ;
"they are in tho way in the mangers and
it takes a year to rot them." There are
two ways to manage the corn butts;

A correspondent of the Vimeer Prett,
of India, gives the following account of
"facts as witnessed by myself, wua ana
two Mahommodan servants, all four see
ing the phenomenon simultaneously, and
not for a minnte or so, but for upward
of an hour:" "At about 8 :l)0 o'clock in
the evening, while sitting at dinner, one
of my khitmutgnrscame in from the out-
tide and said: 'Sir, just step out and
see what a tarn ash a is taking place with
the star Book' the nativo name for
Venus. Out we went, and suro enough,
there was Venus, larso and bright, but,
strange to sav, falling two, threo nnd
four feet at a time, then oscillating from
right to left; sometimes dashing to the
right and then to the left several feet at
a time. These movements continued in
rapid succession, and were plainly ap
parent to all at once; but this wns not nil.
Venus, when wo first saw her, was, say,
apparently somo four hundred yards
above horizon. Whilo watching her, we
observed a star (some two yards, to look
at) above suddenly fall into Venus nnd
there remain. We were nmaod. Tho
natives exclaimed: 'The last day is at
hand,' and so on. Wc watched Venus
rapidly descending until sho dipped the
horizon. At times she appeared iier usual
size nnd quite bright, then ngain hardly
visible Perhaps the phenomenon de
scribed can bo explained by somo one
versed in astronomy. I ngain repeat
that what has boon described was seen by
myself, wifo and two nativo servants,
and could by no means have been imagination."

New York's Millionaires.
The number of millionaires in the
country has steadily increased, and the
number of poor men has been made to
increase with them, though in a ten-fold
ratio. The almshouse records show this
luttcrfact, and a recent statement of the
number of millionaires, eveu in New
York citv alone, indicates the correct
ness of the former. There are scores of
men there whose wealth ranges from
1,000,000 to T10, 000,000 each, uud in iny
who go beyoud cither of these figures.
John Jacob Aster is probably the
wealthiest man in tho metropolis, his
possessions being estimated at 200,-;
000,000. Jay Gould is thought to come
next in rank, and there are those who
i'udge him to be the wealthierof the two.

How to Build an Icehouse,
The foundation for an icehouse is the
first requisite, and this should be dry and
perfectly sealed ngainst tho air. A round
knoll is the best site, with a slope in each
direction, and sandy or gravelly soil is
the best ground. Proceed then as fol
lows: Dig out eighteen inches of the
ground and throw the earth all around,
to be afterward raised around the foun
dation to furnish the slope required to
shed rain water. Make a stone or brick
wall, laid with cement, three feet high
and a foot thick, which will raise the
foundation a little more than the sloping
ground, just cnoii''h to secure the bnso
against contact with the earth and conse
quent rot. A bill 12x3 is then laid on
the wall and bedded in the cement or
mortar, and a frame of sluldiiig 2x4 is
trcnailed on to the till inside aud out
side. The studs are tied totrether by
cross pieces here and there to keep them
from spreading. A plate of 12x2 is
spiked on the studs. The studs are cov
ered with tarred roofing paper or felt,
and an outside w all is made of novelty
siding, which laps over the foot wall two j
inches on to a beveled water table fast-'
ened to blocks built in the wall for the
purpose. The inside wall is made of
matched boards or boards jointed to tit
closely and to the space between the
walls is filled with sawdust.
Cross beams are then laid on the
plates and spiked to them, and the
rafters are spiked to the plates and cross
beams. There is no need for a close lit
under the eaves or boxing in the rafters,
as amble ventilation above the ice is a
necessity. For a family or dairy using
100 pounds of ice a day for 7 months 20
tons of it should be put up. This would
make r,00 cubic feet and would require a
house 10 feet square inside and 12 feet
high. A tight roof is needed to keep
out rain, which would quickly melt the
ice. Three requisites for keeping ice
are an nir-ti"ht and water-free, founda
tion, an air-tight non conducting wall,
and plenty of ventilation above over a
suflicient uon-coiidiictina covering. The
ice is packed in a house of this kind on
the earth floor upon a foot of sawdust; no
sawdust is required around the ice, but
this is packed close to the wall and all
spaces tilled with ice dust. A covering
two feet deep of sawdust is placed over
the Ice. I lie door is double. A cool
closet can be built iu an icehouse of thi
kind, but it will waste a large quantity
Narrow Escape From a Big Bear.
The largest bear any of us ever snw
was n cinnamon that came within an inch
of killing one of my men, n good hun
ter and first-class guido Charles Hull.
(I may refer to the big cinnamon, too, as
an instance of the danger that sometimes
attends trapping the bear.) He had set
j his traps near Sunlight, in the spri jtj,
I nnd was unable to visit them for a wcuk.
When we got to the bait, trap and log
i were gone. After taking up the trail, ho
! soon found the remnants of his log
J chewed to match-wood ; tho bear, cvi
I dently a large one. had gone off with the
1 trap. He followed his trail as long as he
I had light, but found nothing, aud had to
1 return to camp. .Next day, very fool
1 ishly, he took the trail again alone, bc
. ginning where ho had left off. After a
long march he came to the steep aide of a
' hill ; the bear had evidently gone up
there; on tho soft, snow-sodden ground
the trail was plain. Just as ho was be
ginning to ascend, there was a rush and
a roar, and the bear was on him. He
had no time to put his repeater to his
shoulder, but letting it fall between his
hands, pulled the trigger. The bear was
within a few feet of him, and by a great
chance the unaimed bullet took him be
tween the eyes. He had evidently tried
the hill-side, and, worried by the heavy
trap, had come back on his truil and
lain behind a great heap of dirt, into
which he had partly burrowed, waiting
for his enemy. Among the debris of
spring-tide fallen stones and uprooted
trees a bear could easily lie hidden, if he
was mad and wanted to conceal himself
till the enemy was within a few feet. It
was a terribly close shave. Scribner'$

and select, as president of the ceremony,

They then prostrato themselves tour
