Cheap and Convenient Gates.

A writer in the Rural Home says:
/ have just made gates to replace
some old fashioned pairs OF bars that
/ am heartily tired of opening and
shutting. They are cheap, durable,
and very easily made. Each gate Is
twelve feet I'm length by four feet In
height. Five boards four inches
wide are used, besides battens and
braces. Battens should be placed on
both sides, making three thicknesses
to nail through. 1t does not take
more than thirty-three feet of boards
worth perhaps sixty-six cent?, to
make each gate. Add to that ten
cents for nails, and the value of your
time, and you have the whole ex-
pense. A gate of this kind will out
last framed one costing four dol
lars; as no hinges arc used, that cx.
pense Is saved also. 1t Is held In
position by means Of a stake driven
In the ground four or five inches from
the post; not in a straight line, but
q little more than tho thickness OF
the gate towards the driveway, so
that when opened tho gate can be
turned half way round and he paral-
lei with the driveway. 1t Is kept a.
few inches from the ground by a
strip, nailed to both stake and post,
on which one end rests when shut,
and on which ii slides half its length
and then swings round rs on pivot
when opened. The strip is usually
placed under the second board, In a
space arranged for 1t, by cutting
away two Of the battens. This strip
takes the place OF hinges. A gate OF
this kind can be made in much less
time and as nj little expense as a
pair Of bars, and Is certainly much
more convenient.

Nails by the Penny.

Many of our old and young read
ers may read and understand more
about nails from the Reporter:
The origin of the term sc penny"
$40 penny" ETC., as applied to nails,
though not commonly known, is in
volved in no mystery whatever.
Nails have been made a certain num-
Der of pounds to the 1000 for many
years, and are still reekoned that
way in England, 10d. being 1000
nails to ten pounds, and Cd. being
1900 to six pounds, a 20 penny
weighing twenty pounds to the
1000, and having just one-half the
number Of nails to ten pounds of the
10 penny, and in ordering the buyer
calls for the three pounds, six
pounds, or ten pound variety, until
by the Englishman's abbreviation
of pun for pound, the abbreviation
has been made to stand for penny in
stead of pound, as originally in
tended; and when it comes to less
than one pound to the / 900, such as
tacks, brads, etc., they are reckoned
6 o., o., or IL o., ETC., and the
manufactures who would make less
than 900 nails for l0d. nail, would
be looked upon as a cheat, as in
former times the difference in the
cost of manufacture of one pound of
the small nails over the larger sizes
was much greater than now. As
nails are now made and sold, the
dealer only asks for the sizes needed,
by the usual designation, the fact
that there are now but about two
thirds OF the number Of nails for
merly called for in the pound, does

TEMPLE Dar.I


One day, 450 years ago, or there
abouts, there knocked Mt the gates Of
the city of Luneberg, on the Elbe, as
strange rabble rout ~ had ever been
seen by German burgher. There
were 800 OF them, men and women,
accompanied by an ext raordinary
number of children. They were
.dusky skinned with jet-black hairand
eyes; they wore strange garments;
they were washed and dirty; even
beyond the liberal limits tolerated
by the misunderstanding citizens of
Luneberg; they had with them
horses, donkeys and carts; they were
led by two men, whom they desert
bed rs Duke and Count. These two
alone were dressed i'm some kind of
splendor, and rode richly caparisoned
horses; they were most corteous In
rlaner; they talked among them
selves a strange language, and they
understood the language or the coun-
try. All they asked was permission
to camp for few days ontsidc the
gates. All the Lunebergers turned
out to gaze open-mouth Mt these pill
grims, while the Duke and the Count
told the authorities their tale, which
was wild and romantic; even had they
invented a story TO suit their own OBJ
jects, no other could have so well en-.
listed the sympathies ofs credulous,
kindly, uncritical and soft-hearted
folk. Many years before, they ex-
planned, while tears of penitence
stood In tho eyes OF all but the
youngest children, they had been a
Christian community, living In or
thodoxy, and therefore happiness,
in q far-of country known as Egypt.
The Lunebergers had heard Of Egypt.
Crusades had not been out OF
fashion more than 300 years, and
people still told OF dreadful things
done in Egypt as we'll as the Holy
Land. Egypt, indeed was about as
well known TO medieval Europe as II
was to the Israelites under the
judges. The strangers came from
Egypt. 1t was the land OF the PhG.
mix. 1t was not far from the domin.
ions Of Preston John. II was the
country of the Saracen and the inf
del. They were then hsppy Chris
tain flock. TO their valley camo the
Saracens, an execrable race, worship
ping AAhmoud. Yielding, In an
evil hour, to, tho threats and perse-
ctitions Of their conqnerors, they

The American nation began its
first century of existence with a pop
uIation of 2,750,0O0. 1t has now, by
the best estimates, A,675.0OO. The
area has been extended from 100000
to 3,603,s44 square miles. The de-
velopment OF agriculture, under the
pressure Of immigration and the
stimulus OF mechanical invention,
has been utterly without precedent.
The value Of manufactures has adj
vanced from $4,000, 900 to $4,000
O00, 600. Foreign and domestic COM
merce has taken gigantic strides.
The development of mineral re-
sources has not been the work of
century, but Of fifty years. There
were few banks in the Colonies in
I77G; there are more than 5000 now.
Internal improvements and the COM
mon-school system have kept pace
with immigration.
While annexation has quadrupled
our area since the Revolution, it has
contributed very little to the popula
ton. The purchase of Louisiana,
Florida, California, and New Mex
leo brought in fewer than 10000 in
habitants, and the acquisition of
Texas and Oregon merely restored
to citizenship those who had emf
grated from the United States.
The aggregate area covered by
population In 1890 was 239, 1886 square
miles. The main line Of settlements
ran 900 miles along the coast from
the mouth Of the Penobscot to the
Altamaha, with an average extent
inland of from 100 to $50 miles. A
few pioneers had made their homes
in the Ohio Valley; there were two
or three patches of settlement in
Kentucky; there was village Ia In
diana and another In Michigan; and
there were bands Of adventurous
spirits as far west as Illinois. The
Louisiana Purchase In 1903, supple
mented by the Oregon Treaty of
1916, added LII 1891 square miles to
the national domain; the Spanish
cession In 1919 embraced 59,26s
square miles; the annexation Of
Texas In 1915, tho Treaty of Guada-
lupe Hidalgo in 1913, and the
Gadsden purchase in 1858, brought
in 967, AL square miles; and, finally,
Mr.. Stewards Alaska Investment in
volved the acquisition of 100000
square miles. The total area is now
1908, S44 square miles, or 1,0i2,ooO,-
900 acres, one-half Of which are pub
lie lands. In surface extent three
nations surpass the United States
the British, Chinese, and Russian
Empires. The arabic land under
cultivation Is less than one-tenth Of
the total area.

tAg1 Dept State Resister,I

We would advise farmers to move
cautiously. The future is clouded
with darkness and doubt. We have
not reached the bedrock Of contrac-
ton and shrinkage OF values. No
new obligations should be incurred
that can be avoided. Too many
farms are mortgaged already that
will eventually have to pass into the
hands of eastern capitalists. The
system of loaning by agents for long
time on farm security began in Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois before Ii reached
Iowa. Many OF the three year and
five year mortgages in the former
States are now falling due, the mort
cages are being forecloSed and the
property bid in by the mortgages,
for one-third Of the supposed value
OF the lands. They will probably be
resold to the former owners, at ruin
Gus terms, which will sooner or later
bankrupt the owner. So uncertain
Is the future we warn oil TO keep out
of debt. Make every exertion and
sacrifice to pay present Indebtedness.
Have no extra sails In the wind un-
I'll resumption be accomplished or
contraction abandoned. Rents i'm all
the cities are declining, and real es-
tate with rare exceptions IL gradually
shrinking. Pork and beef, the only
articles we have to rely on for money
are shaking in tho wind. We know
not how soon they will pass over to
the list Of Improbable productions.
There will be no resumption In
1879, and none OF the great political
parties so understand IL, yet they
lack the independence TO say so to
the world. But the proclamation
that continued steps In this direc-
ton" shall be persisted in, only
makes the niser grip his money the
closer, and tho shrewd money loaner
prepare for financial storms. The
fruits Of this is certain depression In
business, aud threats Of bankruptcy
to all who carry full sail in trade.
Tho cry Is everywhere, "why is
money so scarce In circulation when
such large amounts are reported as
laying idle on deposit?" Shrewd
men are fearful of politicians who
arc determined to resume by loud
resolutions. Bob Ingersoll struck the
key note OF resumption in his speech
of the century, and If politicians
would permit the business and pros
rerity CT the country 10 come Us ii
only can come, money like the blood
in the healthy systemswould flow out
| In constant and vigorous streams 10
| the extremeties of the Union.
Greater truths I'm political economy
were never uttered than when In
gersoll said: prosperity and rc-
sumption when they come must
come together; when they come
they will come hand in hand
through the golden harvest field;
hand In hand by the whiriing spin
dies and turning wheels; hand ~
