Acorn Marker.

Take plank seven feet long, sixteen
inches wide and one and half inches
thick. Pin this ON three blocks five by
eight inches thick and sixteen inches
long, putting one block at each end
and one in the middle. With this
length the marker is easily turned at
the end. For tongue get a smooth,
tough pole and fssten it to the center OF
the plank in such away that when the
team is hitched up, the marker will
stand level. Now take lath one by
two inches thick and ten and half
feet long. Drive staple into the plank
at each end of the marker and one in
the middle. Pass the lath through one
outside staple and the end just through
the center staple. Fasten a chain to
the outer end, and the marker is COM
pleted. The chain marks where the
middle block or marker must follow
the next time across. The lath must
be shifted at each end SO as to keep the
chain on the unmarked land. When
using it stand on the middle of the
plank and keep the tongue direct
ly over the chain mark. If the first
mark was made straight all the rest
will be 50, and equally distant apart.
j. A.
J. A. could improve his marker still
further by fastening the lath to the
middle OF the plank with bolt, so it
could be turned from side to side with
out lifting. Secure it in position by
another bolt passed through the lath
and plank, near the ends of the latter.

OUR IMPERIAL GUEST.
Dom Pedro Starts for New York.

N Y. Tribune
The Emperor, Dom Pedro II, of
Brazil, left Rio Janeiro to-day in the
English steamer Helvelius, and if the
weather proves favorable during the
voyage, he may be expected to reach
New York about the Goth proXimo.
The Emperor must be accompanied
by the Empress Theresa, whose health
is precarious, and on whose account the
journey is undertaken in hope that a
change of climate will restore her
strength. Besides their Majesties the
party consist of Viscomte de Bon Re-
tirO, formerly Minister of State and
Chamberlain of the Empress; Senior
MacedO, and d single dame d hOllleItr.
Dom Pedro desires to travel as pri-
vste citizen, and would prefer to lay
aside altogether bis official rank. Still
as as he expects to be present at the
opening of the Exhibition, and at the
ceremonies on the Fourth of July, he
will undoubtedly be obliged to accept
some of the henOrs that will be tender
ed him.
| The Empress will remain in New
York or at one of the watering places
in the vicinity while Dom Pedro
makes tour of the country. He will
go as far as San Francisco, and Will
probably make short stops at Niagara
Falls, Chicago, st. Louis and Cincinna-
ii, going or returning, and will OF
course visit Washington.
Dom Pedro was born December =,
1925, and is therefore in his fifty.
first year. His father, Dom Pedro L,
WAS the first Emperor of Brazil, and
was the son Of King john VI and
Donna Maria l, of Portugal. The Roy
al family fed to Rio when the French
entered Portugal in 1907, and when
they returned the prime regent remsin-
ed and became Emperor after the rev.
olution of 1922. He abdicated in 1881
in favor of his son, the present Empe-
ror, who was then only five years old,
and returning to Portugal, drove out
his usurping brother, Don Miguel, and
