Looking out of window i'll Stone street

dozen morning papers under his arm. He
was sitting upon the curb of the wet side

In q pool of water that had accumulated
in n hollow in the gutter The little fell
low seemed to be very nervous. so much
so that he attracted the attention of the
passers by. He noticed that he was M
object of attention, and became quiet.
At length he glanced up and down the
street. Presently he seemed to feel salts
fled that he was unobserved. He then
placed his papers in pool OF water, al
lowed them to soak for a few minutes,
gathered them up, and disappeared around
the corner. As 1t was an uncommon
thing for newsboy to destroy what he
could sell, the writer followed him for u
block. Then he sat down upon a door.

as if to dry them, bowed his head upon
his hands and seemed to cry.
In very short time a crowd gathered
and began to discuss tho woes of the
youngster be fore them. The boy had his

Informed with accompanying sobs that
some big boys knocked him down and
threw his papers in the water The little
confidence operator was smart. He stuck
to his story. He repudiated hunger, poor
parents and expected beating, and simply
appealed to the sympathies Of onlookers
through the wrong the weak had suffered
from the strong.
After this youthful Hungry Joe had
gathered all he could from his auditors,
he gathered together his papers and moved
around the corner, where he again spread
his net with as much success as at first.
Upon being questioned about his game
he became indignant, and wanted to know
why rich "bloke couldn't let II poor fell

up his papers and disappeared.-New York

FARM, GARDEN AND

Free Wool VS.. Protection.

To-day the price of Ohio unwasheo
wool is down to sixteen cents in thi,
market, or twcnty-six cents for washed
On this wool there is duty of ten cents
on the unwashed and twenty cents on the
washed. Now. If we take off this duty
we shall only have six cents left, as the
price which the manufacturer will be will
ing to pay for this stock In open market
Wien that thing happens we shall go on

send loud alarm to every Ohio farmer To
send all his sheep to the slaughter imme

ca and Australia and South Africa yet re.
main in such barbaric condition as t.
send their woods to this market to sell at
three pence pound, the people here will
soon arise and cast the stuff overheard,
as they did the tea In Boston llarbOr on a
memorable occasion, when this country
was not the giant that it is to-day. The
impetus given to wool growing in this
country by tariff legislation has given us
five times the quantity of wool we raised
less than thirty years ago, and has given
us better and cheaper clothing and blank
cts and carpets than any other nation in
the world, unless where misery and strife
and degradation and starvation prevail,
and we need no free wool to-day to pro-
ducc the finest yarn made In the world,
the finest blankets made in the world, the
finest piano and table cloth coverings,

Weeds and Insects.

Some of the mental burdens of farmers
would be removed, and some important
farm work would be more faithfully done,
If farmers could learn to accept the situa-
ton In which they find themselves as nat
ural and permanent, instead of looking
ahead with q vague ill-detined groundless
feeling that all these things which they
now contend with will In time disappear,
and they will have nothing to do but
plant and harvest. When we plant corn
we should realize that killing the weeds
Is as much part of the business of corn
growing as planting and that 1t will con-
tinue to be so. Weeds will never be
wholly extermnated. They are here, and
we are not responsible for their existance
but our victory over them measures our
profit, and should be source of gratitica-
ton
Agricultural writer's are in great
measure to blame for the false ideas
which many farmers seem to have In re
gard to weeds and the labor of subduinl
them. They picture ideal farms, where
not a weed is allowed to grow and rep
resent this as being the natural condition
of good farmer, and lead men who can
not come up to this standard (and but
very few ever do to think that they are
at fault, and they are soon discouraged in
their efforts to keep all parts of their sur
roundings out of the way of observing crit
les. The same Is true in regard to the war
fare with insects. We must know and feel
that this contention with the various
drawbacks that we meet Is n part of the
business, and make calculations for it,
and then we shall not feel so much that
it. Is loss OF time when we have to de
vote our time to weeds and insects.

One of the worst jobs the 'all round
repair hand has to contend with Is mend
ing old windows. Putty comes Off hard,
sometimes, and the sash will be split and
badly damaged in the attempt to chisel
off the old putty. Once in while very
old sash are found, the putty on which
has large proportion of white lead mix
ed with the whiting. Such putty can
hardly be removed with a chisel without
taking wood with it from the sash.
When time can be taken. say over
night, it will help to cover the sash thick
ly with Il paste made from three parts of
lime, one part of potash. and sufficient
quantity of water. If this is done. and
the sash laid one side for ten or twelve
hours, the putty can be removed without
breaking the glass, job not easily done
by any other means.
A slush of this same mixture can be
plastered on some of the grease-4lrowned
jobs which every repair man must tackle.
A liberal coating left on over night, and
an application of water from a hose under
sixty pounds pressure will have most
magical effect.

A great deal has been done in Chicago
in erecting what arc called fire proof
buildings A building Is called fire proof
when its walls are SO constructed that
they will not ignite and will not conduct
heat to such an extent MS to char or i'll
flame substances inside of them. A wall
that will stop the progress Of flames Is
often spoken of rs lire proof.
1t Is noticeable that most buildings are
burned by fire started from the inside and
not from the outside They may be. proof
against exterior, but they are not proof
against interior fires In fact. it is gener
nlly more difficult to extinguish IL fire in
ono of them than in building con
structed of wood. Much money is spent
in constructing massive exterior walls
of stone or brick and in building parti-
tions of materials that cannot be burned.
The building. however. Is filled with in
flsmmable substances All the furniture,
and there is likely to be much of it, is
made of materials that will readily burn.
The upholstery can be ignited by a spark.
