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 kegs of tieor' j-.-jOii ti.to. ;si Id wei . piled al.out l.j" tho th'ou sand.

P'or-iimat j Times.Stor.. 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 World. 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?"

ALL Xlf.lIT ttEVELOS. 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 is now ready for o(H;rntion. Some of theso pieces of pie have been waiting for days in this window. So Las the cheese. Tho sun has shone on tho pie and the cheese. The sun imparts a flavor of its own to pie crvsr-t. It is a sun baked flavor. Tho aino sun hardens tho cheese A cu jiOiiic-r enters, seats himself, orders v.offee and cakes, and goes to sleep in his chair. Tho waiter brings hint his order. He sleeps on. I'i Ov"-nt!y he snores. It is a snore Us regular und peaceful us though ho were in bed. Enter five young men. They are fash ionably dressed, carry canes, wear expensivo jewelry, are up to tho requirements of the season as regards neckties. Their manner is almost boisterous. Their self consei,.isnis never disci fc thtiu. Xhen faces a. '-$w' .shaven.' -Their silk hats are glosy. Their hands are of feminine tleiicswy. Their cull's were pu-i .i In the, evening. Their boot heels viio le.'t in tho Jea.it worn, but fiat as the face of a greenback. They wear $1:2 pantaloons. They are full of tho effervescence of jouth and something .stronger. They maybe col lego students, who have been laboring ttt the tuoks of educutio!', y.u'ui ii iu tho looming and are ii angry. . Toe waiter stands patiently by, while, be tween loud talk and lu'Jghter, th.'y fctinly with lively diligence tho Ljil of tare. Ti-ey seem enjoying lifo. Ho seems only endur- The snore of the snorer asserts itself plainly at intervals amid the hum of voices around. His coffee and cakes steam under his noso. Ho heeds them not. - His head tips back . intervals. He restores it ouitkly iJ it- placo.' Tbo unconscious; effort is painful to 'witiwvs, A young man enters. Ho is about to swtS him at the same table with the snoer. AVheu it evidences itself to him that there a snorer .itr., he moves away. A man is talking somebody's philosophy to an old gray heaiL Tho gray headed man is silent and meek. He saj-s little iu reply. The talker has in bis baud the book of the philosopher ho ad mires. The two have finished a- inea vii corned beef Lash. 2so? with them is tho ..U0 iV ot soul." ' Tho philosopher so enthusi astically talked about is of the jiositive school. The talker is a positivkt. The old man doesn't seem to be much of anything. Hence, he is a good man for a positivist to talk to. Occasionally the talker reads the old man a passage; or he reads him a whole page. It seems to make little difference to the old mar. He makes nc resistance!. Theve no' enters a man with a man about town air and three young ladies of the garish I order of beauty.
