Carlsbad, the great German resort
for inralids, was very full the past
season and there were many Ameri-
,an visitors. The population proper
numbers $4,000. Till the year 1852
visitors were welcomed with a flourish
If trumpets from the top of the tower

lemand on arrival to pay tax of Is
lorns Tor the privilege of drinking
the waters and listening to the bands
which play in the morning. The prin.
cipal industry of Carlsbad is that of
housing feeding, and curing invalids.
Though the place is small, as many as
10000 strangers can be accommodated
at time During the season, which
begins on the lst of May and closes on
the lst OF October, nearly 10000 per-
sons spend not less than three weeks
in Carlsbad. There is great industry

leaped forth, no longer playful, but fierce and

A Homa-nTada Ranin.

In famous book for young people called
'What To Do and How To Do It" Mr. Daniel
G.. Beard tells us how "Uncle Enos" con-
structed a homemade banjo. The boys will
like to hear about it. Why not the girls, too,
In these days when girls are beginning TO find
out they have hands, and hands that can
learn the use Of tools and make exquisite
wood carvings and many other things
Uncle Enos was an old black man who had
been a slave. He played very sweetly on
banjo made Of "a cigar-box, broom stick,
Q bit of an old shoe and a piece of clap
board"
If you read this carefully in connection
with the pictures you VIII find out how to
make one for yourself. Figure is the cigar
box with holes bored through the ends fer the
stick to pass through. The bottom of the
cigar box is the top of the banjo and the lid
Is left on, to be opened or closed at pleasure.
Get pine board and mark out the plan of
the neck upon it, as you see here. The
round spots, d, d, d, d, mark where holes
are to be bored for the keys. The dotted line
q shows where to put the low bridge. A
narrow groove is to be cut here for this bridge
to at into.
Upon banjo are four long strings and
one short one. They start all together at the
bottom of the instrument. The four long
ones extend to where the holes for the keys
are seen. The short one stops where the
dotted line b is shown in the diagram. At
this point hole must be made in the side of
the neck for the key of the short string to
screw into. The short string runs up the left
hand edge of the neck, passes over tiny
bridge of its own, where the letter is
marked and fastens to its own key at b. A
very small slot must be made at for the
tiny bridge. Fig. 2 shows the neck, all fin.
ished, side and top view. 1t is to be
screwed toits broomstick support. Next is the
broomstick. One end is whitfield down so as
to go through the holes in the cigar box. Il
fits closely and sticks out at the butt Of the
instrument about half an inch The other,
the top end, is Srnoothed off fat for the neck
20 be screwed upon it. In the small figures
are seen the other parts. Make the keys of
hard wood, of the shape shown, with holes
through them crosSwise, just large enough
for the strings TO pass through. Bend piece
of tin over the butt end OF the cigar box in
the shape shown at 8. Then next you see the
bridge, Fig. z, with places for the strings. It
may be cut out of soft wood. It goes near the
lower end Of the banjo, as you see, just in
front of the tailpiece. This is piece of hard
wood, with five holes bored in its upper end
to hold the lower end of the strings. Uncle
EnOS made this of leather. At the bottom is
. loop of wire which bitches over the butt
end Of the br0omstick When the bridge Is
fastened securely, and the strings are put on
and drawn tightly, from the wire loop at the
bottom to the keys at the top, all these minor
parts viii be held in place

browning ambition of his very eventful life

The election of the present secretary Of the
interior, Henry NJ. Teller, to represent the
the state of Colorado in the coming United

moved there in that year from New York
state, where he was born. He has been con-
spicuous figure in Colorado enterprises; was

Willard he has built up a lucrative law prac-
tice in the city Of Denver.

There are few, if any crops says the Mass

which seem to be 80 little understood as the

must select their potatoes for planting in the
same way, and with the same care that they
do their onions, beets and turnips for seed,
that is selecting those of the best form
they seem to entirely overlook the fact that
they do not propagate from the seed. but
from the root or tuber, which is a continue
ton of the old life and produces its like in
variety, the same as a cutting from a grape

generally known, by many it is entirely over

potatoes to plant but not with the view 10
improve the form or flavor, but rather TO re-
lect the diseased ones and the small ones
the diseased ones should be rejected for the
same reasons that diseased cuttings or oions
should be rejected, and the very small ones
should be rejected because there are nearly
as many eyes in a small potato as there are

THE RE rs.


The April number OF the Chautauqusp CON
talns an article from the pen Of Hon. b q
Northrop, LII. D.. on the subject of ''Arbor
Day, the aim Of which is in favor of cult
waiting love of forestry among the Young
The subject of forestry is attracting more
attention every year, aud at the opening of
the last session of Congress found mention
for the FIRST time in presidential message.
Or the various agencies designed to promote
an interest in the subject, Mr. Northrop re-
CARDS none as having been so effective as the
appointment Of Arbor day by governors of
states, by legislatures, and. by state county
and town superintendents of schools He
says that the plan of Arbor day is simple and
inexpensive, and hence the more readily
adopted and widely effective In some states
the work has been well done without auy
legislation, but the best results are secured
when an act Is passed requesting the governor
each spring TO recommend the observance of
Atbor day by special message. The chief
magistrate of the state thus most efTectuAllv
calls the attention of all the people TO its i'm
portance, and secures general and concerted
action. This course has been taken in Mich.
lgan 10y request OF the Legislature for the past
four years, and IN Ohio during three years.
West Virginia also has au Arbor day for the
schools. MIR. Northrop meets the obisction
that lessons on forestry in schools would add
another study to courses already crowded by
saying that the requisite talks need occupy
but two or three hours. He speaks of the IN
terest in the matter which has been deyelop
ed among the school children in Cincinnati
through the efforts of Superintendent Peas
lee Arbor day has already initiated a move
ment of vast Importance in eight states. Its
influence in awakening just appreciation of
trees first among pupils and parents and then
among people at large, is regarded by Mr.
horthrop as being OF vast importance in an
other respect The frequency Of forest fires
IL the greatest hindrRnce to practical forestry.
but let the sentiment OF trees be duly cult
waited, hrst among our youth and then among
the people. and they will be regarded as our
friends. The public need to learn that the
interests of all classes are concerned in the
conservation of forests Through the teach
ing of their schools this result was long since
accomplished in Germany, Switzerland, Swe.
den and other European countries The peo
pie everywhere realize the need of protecting
trees. An enlightened public sentiment has
proved better guardian of their forests than
the national police. A person wantonly set
ting ire to forest would there be looked
upon as an outlaw, like the miscreant who
should poison public drinking fountain.
