WHERE THEY KEEP COOL.
fi. tho Cellar of a Cincinnati Itrrncry A
Keorter's Kxi.erienee.
Tito placo that is nearest tho north pole in
summer time is the beer collar of a brewery.
There tho frost melts from tho walls and tho
icicles hang in graceful crystals from the be
ginning of one year to tho beginning of tho
next. The largest cellars in Cincinnati are
under a brewery up on FAm street. It was
at tho entrance to the immense and hiby
rinthiaii caves that a hot, perspiring and
worn out reporter found himself tho other
j':';tei noon about 4 o'clock. Without tho air
was sweltering. I'eoplo r;oing by in tho
street could bo seen mopping and blowing.
Tito door ojx'iied, and, preceded b' a man in
boot.s, overalls and blue blouse rather
warmly dressed for summer tho reporter
descended.
J cold chili struck him that frozo the per
spiration right w hen it stood. His breath
iloated in two long streams, liko a cloud of
smoke, from his nostrils to the ground. This
was only in the ante room, as it wero, A
door opened and he stood it tho frost, cellar.
Great cpkVs itooij .(Lout jn long tiers. In
and around everywhere the pipes of ice ran,
covered with whito frot that sparkled in the
lamplight, while at the joints two long icicles
dt'iionded.
In una of tho rooms n man was turning a
large wheel, w hile over at a kind of table on
the other side lieor was ilowing out of a brass
faucet, probably as tho rr.lt ." hi.. Ia0oi
and v.'w being put into ' a' keg. This
set-no of " underground lalior in' the nndst of
eternal cold wes lighted hy electric lights
which shone dimly through the glass oulb,
coated with frozen moisture. Ono of the
iimiiaiiSo casks in another apartment was
empty. A mati in a similar uniform to the
guide all tlie workmen wore tho boots, over
alls and blouse and wero n arinly clad was
raking vhii our. of it into.a kind of wagon
with which, when loaded, ho made swiftly
elf into the. darkness. The teoip-rature of
this place and of tho subcell.ir under it must
have been very near zero. Perhaps the latter
was colder. But it really made no difference.
Tho rejKirter was blue with cold, and that
is as bad as can bt.
The casks of beer that mu.--t lie thcro for
eight months before they can lie opened must
have nuinbeivd s-evf-i-- hiii.i'uv.i uluie the

Ingersolt's Method of Preparation.
Col. Ingei'soll's method of jtrcparing for a
public sjieech is simple and effective, idany j
people in the vast audiences who have lis.- !
tened to his flowing eloipienee have wondered j
if bis effects wero entirely produced urcn ;
the spur of the moment, or if his orations,
were carefully worked up beforehand, an;
hen committed tQ memory. Neither of
these theories is entirely correct. Col. Itiger
eoll has in bis employ a thoroughly efficient
stenographer named Baker, and when his
material for a speech or an extended letter is
all in band he dictates tho entire thing from
beginning to end. Tho stenographer subs.
onently wi ilea it out yipou the typewriter
uid it' is 'read over onco ' or .'twice by Cot.
lug'ersoll, by -which timo tho thread of the
argument is thoroughly fixed l'is I'dnd.
He thou prepaies u series of headings of the
y'arious points ho desires to cover, and when
ho goes into court or mounts tho robtrum he
is armed with these headings. He had no
need to commit mere words and figures of
speech to memory. He has a singular wealth
4f language in which to clotku his r.vguaieut,
whatever it may Do, and hi only difficulty is
to recall binself io the' main track after
jeing le oil to ono side or the other by the
fiood of bis own eloquence. In'cw York

Another Legend of the Opal.
By tho way, said a jeweler to a reporter,
did 3'0t! ever hear tho legeud rs to hw opals
peqan.e ' .unluckyi'V ' It runs 'something like
ibis: "A wealthy man onco owned a large
opal which had been in tho family for many
generations, and which bad brought good
luck to all its owners. The tradition rtaehed
to the stone was that it was to be given to
the best beloved son, failing in which the
charm would be lost. This man bad throe
sons whom he loved dovly, and, being unable
to determine .vhictv waathe best beloved, hud
three rings made, each a counterpart of the
other, ono of which contained tho heirloom,
and tho others two imitations of it. Calling
bis three sons into tho room separately, he
presented each of them with a ring, telling
each in turn that he was tho best beloved,
and enjoining him to say nothine to his
brothers. As a punis-tnient for this deceit
ttc fait ic-s removed the charcn, and ill luck
and disaster are said to have followed the
possessors of opals ever since. I think, though,
that something must have occurred sinca to
put tha t edriea in good humor again with the
stone, for I haven't heard cf opals bringing
anybody bad luck of late I Have you?"

IN AN UPTOWN RESTAURANT EARLY
IN THE MORNING.
l'eo!o AVho Meet at an K:.tiii llouso ut
o'Clock u. m. Ten und Colfce A
Snorer at tlie Table The Man About
Town.
It is 2 o'clock in the morning, und I his is an
uptown Kixth aventio restaurant which never
l-Ioses, night or day, and w here at 0 o'clock
in tho morning you may see the all night
revelers gathered ut one tahleand atthenext
(he diligent, early rising man of business,
consuming his coffee and roll preparatory to
his trip down town; the working woman
with her morning tea and toast, v. ho labors
hard for $1 jK-r day; tho woman who doesn't,
and wears diamonds; tho gambler and the
bixkkee(ier; tho youth just start i ng out to
see life, and tho man of premature old ng
who has seen too much of it all here to low
at one common altar of sustenance. On u
stand are two brilliantly polished vessels re
puted to hold tea and coffee. In effect they do
hold what was i-nrr. an t - f . t . 1' ! ;. :.. ;
coffee, from '.vlneii tho soul und e.-senee lied
hours ago. It is now a tame, tasteless, stalo
and sourish fluid. It matters not. Tho pub
lic drink it and seem satisfied. An Ameri
can restaurateur of the middlo class is nt
bound to furnish what his guests do not call
for. These brilliant urns, with their com
plicated apparatus of pipes and gauges for
."egistering the height of tho fiuid within,
suggest monuments to thu departed virtue of
tho 1 leverages they hold. Without all i?
whited and brilliant; within it is a tea and
coffee sepokher.
When j-ou call for coffee there is some
thing hopelessly exasjx-raling in tho habit
uated assurance with which tho waiter grabs
an inch thick rimmed cup, turns the stale
fluid into it from the elaborately molded and
polished faucet, and bangs it down on the
table before you. He considers it coffee or
tea. Protest to him that the fluid has losv
its strength, virtue, all aroma, alt sent-.
bUmcf. iU. original self, and ho would set
uii down as an Anarchist, a Nihilist and u
moral (lestileucu front hisrviluuiuntish jioint
uf view.
Tho lea and coffee are brought in very
thick, heavy cups. Occasionally these cups
are notched, as if some one had tried to. bite
out a piece. Other cups Lave several notches;
and suggest the edge of a saw. Ordinarily
ihey do not have more than two notches.
The window is filled with pieces of pie
mince, puiyipkin, apple and cratU'ierry. By
W-h piece uf pie is a bit of cheese. The pie
