Concrete Walks.

A concrete or cement walk can be
made in this way, which requires no
great skill in preparing the materials:
Take water lime and gravel OF ashes, or
both. The gravel and ashes should be
put in a heap and wet. Mix one barrel
of water lime with sharp, clean sand,
dry, being shoveled over back and forth
several times to get a thorough mixture.
A portion is then mixed with water into
a thin, soft mortar and five parts of
the wet gravel or ashes are well mixed
with it, so that every fragment is coated
with the combining mortar. This is
important for obvious reasons. This
concrete is spread on the graded walk
and beaten down with a rammer until
the moisture gathers on the surface.
Some of the dry sand or cement is then
scattered over the surface to absorb the
moisture, and the surface is smoothed
over with a rubber having a sloping
handle to work it back and forth. In a
few days this will become hard, and
harder with time. By making divisions
of thin strips of wood or tarred paper
this cement may be laid down in blocks,
squares or diamond shaped, and for
extra good walks the blocks may be
colored by mixing the finish coat with
brown, gray, or other colors alternately.
A clean walk from the front gate to the
house is almost a necessity, and adds
considerably to the appearance of the
place.-SGn Francisco Call.

THE SHAKEMAKERS.
A Glass OF Industrious People Who Al
Little Known to the World.

A Glass of Industrious People Who Arc
Little Known to the World.
Living just above the foothills and in
the midst of the virgin pine forests OF
the Sierras are a class of industrious
people little known to the world. They
live an isolated, happy life far from the
busy world, of which they know little
and care less. These are the ssshake-
makers" They exist usually in couples,
and make their home for the time being
where the finest sugar pine grows, and
whence the products of their labors can
be conveniently hauled away. They are
a jolly, happy lot, these ''shakemakers"
of the Sierras. They work at will, and
by way of recreation divide their leisure
time between deer and bear hunting and
the nearest country store. The mode
of making "shakes" or clapboards is
simple. The tree felled is sawed into
suitable lengths, and then is split into
thin boards or 'tshakes" by means of a
froe and a mallet. The shakes sell here
in the mountains at 81 to $3.50 per
1000, and are always in demand. A
shakemakers' camp is n of the most
picturesque enc to be found on the
coast. and the voluntary recluses who
spend year after year in these mountain
solitudes are the ~jolliest lot of bachelors
on earth. A majority of this almost
unknown race of men are old miners
and young men from the foot-hill farms.
Wild, brave, uneducated and kind
hearted, they include within their num-
bers hundreds of the best frontiersmen
and the noblest types of manhood

HIRED EN-.

Some Reflections on the Treatment of these
Indispensable Aids to Farm Economy.
: 1t has become almost a custom to per-
form the greatest share of the farm work
during the summer months and take it
easy during the winter, discharging the
hired men and forcing them into cities
and villages to work at odd jobs, or to
pursue a half-employed sort of life in
the country, chopping cordwood and
like work. A large mount of farm
work can be performed during the VIM
ter quite as well with men at fifteen dol
lars per month as to pay them from
twenty-five to twenty-six dollars for the
same labor in the summer, and thus
give these farm hands continuous labor.
No n expects a man to kill himself
with work, but he can more largely eX-
ten the same labor over the year. With
the plan of winter dairylng o so rap
idly being introduced into Ohio, the idea
Of employing men for the entire year
will become to be more largely prac-
ticed, and the farmers will find out that
a great many things can be done in the
winter as well as in the more hurrying
times in the summer. By choosing open
weather fences can be repaired n
even board fences built. Posts a be
set when the frost is out of the ground
and wire strung. Sugar wood, stove
wood, and rails can be drawn, and with
the now demonstrated value of under
drainage, most of it can be done by hav-
ing everything ready, so that when oc-
casion offers the trenches can be opened
up and tiles put in place, A little study
in this direction will enable the farmer
to see how that the farm work can be
carried on in winter as well as summer,
and thus have the summer months with
more leisure time, and thus obviating
that disturbing feature of farm life, be-
ing behind with the work and having
it crowd the farmer and his help, so that
in the summe months they are com
PEELED to work early and late, and be-
come slaves instead of masters of the
situation.-CleUeland Leader.

Evening Coifures.

High coiffures of very simple design
are worn on full-dress occasions. The
back hair is taken up plainly from the
nape of the neck or else in a French
twist, and is coiled on the crown or ar
ranged in small figures on the sides.
Sometimes a straight bang is cut across
the back to fall on the neck; in other
coifures there are merely some short
curls or ''scolding locks" at the back,
while still others are creped and then
turned upward. A smooth bang with
the ends curled under on the forehead,
but not too low upon it, is now fashion
ably worn; just back of this there may be
a small and soft P%ompadour roll, or with
a low Greek forehead the front hail may
be quite straight, and simply parted to
show its luxuriant thickness, or else
drawn straight back to the coil on the
crown. Jewelled pins are the favorite
ornaments for the hair, and are thrust
through the coil. Small aigrettes of
marabout and ostrich feathers are worm
by older ladies, and there is an effort to
revive the use of small flower sprays for
those who are young. Jewelled side
combs and the larger back-combs are
worn by those who a not wear the
very high coiffHres .-Harper's Bazaar.

A Hornets Nest.

Ella Wheeler's latest poem is 1.-The
Room Beneath the Rafters, Tin which she
declares she s'saw the hornet come forth
from his mud-walled hanging house."
We don'tintend to criticise Mrs. Wilcox's
poetry, but when she calls a mud-wasp
a hornet, we kick. A hornets nest,
Ella, is made of homespun paper, and
IS built around 26S, 600 hexagonal holes,
there being, when the nest is in execu-
tive session, about 500 hornets to the
hole. The nest grows, in a good season, to
the size of a bushel-and-a-half measure.
Moreover, people do not ''lie in the
trundle-bed'' and watch the hornets
play, as you say you did. All, no; when
they happen to come unexpectedly upon
the hornet at play, they turn and fly, or
would fly, if they could trade off their
boots for a pair of wings. The chief in
dustry among hornets is the manufac-
ture of probes and bodkins. Hamlet
speaks of taking his q~uietus with a
bare bodkin." Now, when a man takes
about three-quarters of an inch of a
hornets bodkin, it doesn't make his
quietus. Land, no; it makes him jump
and boiler until you can hear him a
mild, q mild and a half or two milds.-

BUSINESS of the owner of a barber shop
and bathing establishment, and that he
had persuaded the owner of q clothing
store to open his place for a few mo-
ments and fit him to the best garments
on the shelves. However it all may have
come about, it is certain that in the after
noon of New Years day, Tom Dolser, in
the garb and bearing of a gentleman,
though without much composure of
c~ountenance, called on Mrs. Arthray.
He had to introduce himself again, and
he feared the consequences if his host
ess should have to introduce him to
others. Heaven kindly arranged, how
ever, that the only other person present
was an old clergyman, who had been
pastor to Mrs. Arthray and Tom a
quarter of a century before. After Tom
had gone, the lady made a confident of
the minister. The old man hoped, yet
he feared; he had prepared dozens Of
pledges in twenty years, all of which
Tom had signed and broken. Yet after
the late drunkard had become, if not
his original self, at least an industrious
and respectable member of society, and
Mrs. Arthray was one day piously at
tributing the change to Heavenly inf1u-
ences, the old pastor looked at her sig
~nificantly, and said:

Ginger Pudding: One cup sweet

ANY ailing fowl should be at once
removed from the flock to comfortable,

When grain Is cheap the farmer
should strive doubly hard to dispose OF
it in the shape of pork, beef, poultry OF
the products of the dairy and hem

Dry seasons, therefore, are favorable

wheat a considerably larger amount o
nitrogen must be applied to produce
