brethren as we'll as all other pursuits OF

monopoly.
Ny plan for filter is on the hydraul.
ic principal, tina. is, filter up through,
instead of down, fist carrying the
juice to the bottom of the tub or tank
through pipes, then allowing it to raise
through straw, combining it, leaving
sufficient space at the bottom for set
Ting purposes, and discharging INFO
the lead pipe near the top of the tub,
and conducted to second filter which is
situated at the supply tank at the
heater.
This second filter is composed of
sponge, box 16 or Is inches square,
and from 20 to "a inches deep, and
lambs wool sponge Costing rs to 50
cents per pound) nicely packed upon a
tin or galvanized iron rest, fitted to the
inside of the filter box, punctured with
holes to give free circulation of juice,
raised three or four inches from the
bottom of the filter box for settling
space, then confined to their place by
similar one on top, juice conducted to
the bottom as in filter number one, ana
discharging near the top into supply
tank and thence into the heater.
The sponge filter was first suggested
to me by N. G. Comstock of Trempea-
leau county, Wisconsin. One or one
and half pounds of sponge is suffi-
cient for common flow of juice and
| if it is we'll washed one day and kept
clean, will last for one or two seasons.
find the sponge filter the most
complete and gives perfect satisfaction,
cleansing the juice from many things
which would otherwise 60 into the
syrup. Two is better than one and the
more settling space. the better. Juice
should be got into the heater as soon
as possible after it is crushed from the
stalks.

Winter Towering ilants.

Plants for winter Towering should be
carefully selected. AS rule, if your
florist is your friend, he will not only
advise you but see that you receive
good plants for your money. OF bulbs,
Roman hyacinth, the ordinary hya-
cinth, early and late blooming, Due
van Ihol tulip or two (scarlet) for
color, and few of narci ssus, will GER
tainly be needed. Chrysanthemum,
saliva, bouvardia, begonia, eupho;:bla,
poinsettia, gesnera, epiphyllum, plum
bago, are all good. For hanging bag
kets there are many beautiful things.
For winter, hard-leaved trailing plants
are best. with something for the center
of the pot, like petunia, well-pinched-
back, foliage geranium, or any speci-
men plant not too large, will be effec-
tive. Some small palms, or other hot
house plants Of like nature will help
set off your window. A fourteen.inch
earthern basket or vase, with glass
shade for a cover, or, what will answer
quite as well, the top of cylinder re-
jected by glass blowers in making win
dow glass, will keep ferns in the most
perfect health in winter, and if the lat
ter is used the whole may be suspend
ed from the ceiling like any other
hanging basket A little care and taste
thus displayed will enable you to have
plants all winter if the room Is kept at
a temperature so plants do not freeze
al night.

Table Manners Of Children.
From Bill Nye's boomerang.

Young children who have to wait till
older people have eaten all there is in
the house should not open the dining
room door during the meal and ask
the host if he is going to eat all day.
1t makes the company feel ill at ease
and lays up wrath in the parents heart
Children should not feel displeased
with the regular course at dinner and
then fill up on pie. Eat the less ex-
pensive food first and then organize a
panic in the preserves.
Do not close out the last OF your
soup by taking the plate in your mouth
and pouring the liquid down your
childish neck. You might spill it, and
it enlarges and distorts the mouth un.
necessarily.
When asked what part of the fowls
you prefer do not say you will take
the part that goes over the fence last.
This remark is very humorous, but
the rising generation ought to origin
ate some new table jokes that will be
worth of the age in which we live.
Children should early learn the use
Of the fork and how to handle it, This
knowledge can be acquired by allowing
them to pry up the carpet tacks with
that instrument. and other little exer-
cises such as the parents mind may
suggest.
The child should be taught at once
not to wave his bread around over the
table while in conversation, or to fill
his mouth full of potatoes and then
converse in rich tone of voice with
some one out in the yard. He might
get his dinner down his trac.ea and
cause his parents great anxiety.
In picking up plate or saucer filled
with soup or with moist food, the
child should be taught not to parboil
his thumb in the contents of the dish
and to avoid swallowing soup bones or
other indigestible debris.
Toothpicks are generally the last
course, and children ahould not be
permitted to pick their teeth and kick
through the other exercises. While
grace is being said at the table, children
should know that it is breach of good
breeding to smouge fruit cake just be-
cause their parents heads are bowed
down and their attention for the mo-
ment turned in another direction
Children ought not to be permitted to
| find fault with the dinner or fool with
the cat while eating. Boys should, be-
fore going to the table, empty all the
frogs and grasshoppers out of their
pockets, or those insects might crawl
out during the festivities and jump in
to the gravy.
If a fly wades in your jelly up to
his gambrels do not mash him with
your spoon before all the guests, as
death is at all times depressing to
those who are at dinner and retards
digestion. Take the fly out carefully
with what naturally adheres to his
person and wipe him on the table
cloth. 1t will demonstrate your per-
feet command of yourself and afford
amusement for the company. Do not
stand up in your chair and try 10 spear
a roll with your fork. Say "thank
YOU and much obliged" and 'Jeg
pardon" wherever you can work IN
these remarks, as it throws people of
their guard and gives you AN oppor-
tunity to get in your work on the
pastry and other bric.a-brac near you
at the time.

us it not lovely, Eiwin?" and Mrs.
Bennett laid her hand upon her hus-
bands arm as she added:
"Yet how sad it somehow seems. l
can't help feeling sorry for them. l
wish l could see their faces. feel as if
l wanted to turn them round"
Clasping the little hand that rested
so confdingly upon his. arm, Edwin
+, Bennett inwardly thanked God for
the gift Of his fair young wife, as he
said
Come, dear, they are commencing
to close up. Baby's tired, too"
"Es, mes tired. Baby wants to tiss
mamma" lisped the child, holding out
her tiny arm.
Husband and wife failed to notice a
, lady who stood near, gazing at a paint
ing. AS the pretty young mother
stopped down 70 receive her baby s
kisses, which the little one lavished on
her cheeks, lips and brow, deep,
yearnirs look gathered in the strange
lady's eyes and she turned hastingly
| away.
"Oh, Edwin" exclaimed his wife as
they passed the silent figure in black.
"Wouldn't it be nice if baby should
grow up to be great artist like Miss
Armstrong"
God forbid, ANNIE" came the earn
est reply, followed by 'let her grow to
be true, loving woman, that is all l
ask" The lady's hand frightened its
hold upon the back of settee as the
words reached her ears, but she did not
move until they went out. Then lift
ing her veil she went and stood before
the painting that had won such fame.
Tears gathered in her eyes as she
gazed, and with the words, 81 will never
look at it again" she, too, passed out
of the building, and in her own hand
some carriage was driven home.
Scorn shone in her dark eyes as they
fell upon the costly works of art scat
tered in lavish profusion about her
| luxuriously furnished apartments.
Hastily throwing off her wraps, she
crossed over to mirror. A very hand
some face it reflected. Not looking
the thirty years it had known.
Helen Armstrong it was she
had heard of Edwin Benefits mar
riage; heard that he had succeeded in
business beyond his most sanguine ex-
pectations; heard that his wife was one
of the loveliest and gentlest of women,
and that Edwin Bennett idolized both
wife and child. This day she had seen
them.
Then came the thought that she
might have stood in that wife's place;
she, too, might have had those baby
lips pressed as lovingly to hers: but she
had put it from her. She had chosen
Fame versus Love. If she could only
60 back to that day on the sands, how
differently she would now act.
Turning away from the mirror, she
exclaimed, bitterly:
"Too late, Helen Armstrong As you
have sown, SO must you reap. Flor

Central railroad west of here, and that great
damage had been done at Independence.
