screw-hook fastens the

of leather straps fitted
with strong buckles,

But how may it be used for develop
ing the muscles? A look at the cut
answers the question. There are the
stirrups for standing swing and other
movements. A seatboard fitted in the
stirrups gives the regular swing which
all children like. Detach the straps
which hold the stirrups and the swing
ing rings are left, and all boys and
girls know how many movements can
be executed by them. Now detach the
rings and substitute bar in the loops
of the leather straps, and you have
perfect flying trapeze. When your
hours exercise is ended detach the
swinging part from the bridge, and the
latter, which is not at all unsightly, is
all that is left Of your home gymna-
SUM until you want to use it again
There is hardly muscle in the body
that may not be exercised and devel-
oped by the systematic use of such an
apparatus as the one we have described.

Lotllarios Should Learn.

A court decision that should be a
lesson to Lotharios is that of the gem
eral term of the Supreme Court affirm
ing the $4,000 verdict in the Baby
Bunting" case that amused the public
not long since. Millionaire Arbuckle,
the Baby Bunting" of the comical
comedy, appealed from the verdict on
the ground that the award of $45, 900 in
favor of Miss Campbell, for his re-
fnsal to marry her, was excessive; bat
the court declares that i. was not sx
cessive, and intimates pretty plainly
that Mr.. Arbuckle might have Jared
worse and yet have no reason to COM
plain. The jury, it says, might very
well have awarded compensatory dam
ages instead of considering only actu..I
damages. But the LCthaiios are
mighty hard to teach. They keep
right on providing causes for suits like
that Of "Bunnie" against 1Baby Bunt-
ing, !" Just the same as if @Bunnie" IN
"Iaby" We're never heard o.. Several
suits of the same character have been
in court since that one was tried, and
no doubt there are lots more to come.
The woods are full of 'em, SO &, speak,
and probably always will be, no mat
ter how much cunning the law may
do. The utter failure of lessons in
court to produce an effe i outside has
fair illustration in the casa of Frank
Dudgeon, the fast young man with
plenty of money, who Is in serious
trouble on account of the dea b of d
pretty girl in whom he was aintea,
ested.' Dudgeon knew we'll enough
that the course he was taking might
bring him into the clutches Of tho law
any moment, but he was willing to take
the chances, as he had done before, and
Went straight ahead. That's the way
with all Of them They'll take the
chances and never mind the law until
they are really III its grip. ANever
too late to mend" is all very we'll, Int
the Lotharios never think Ct mending
till age uses them up, and some won't
mend even then. Baron ChevriaI, OF
"A Partisan Romance, has many

THE report Of Adjutant General

sylvania is second, with 1851, and
Ohio third, with 5,627. The fourth in
line is South Carolina, which has s, 305,

the unorganized militia of the two
States is $4,000 and 100000 respec-
lively. Massachusetts comes next,
with 5,162, but the six States might
lead to some random guessing, as it is
Georgia which surpasses Illinois by a

tia, against 4,219 of Illinois, with Chi

Dealing with a Kicking Cow.

Speaking of blows makes me think
of those milk-stoOl blows which fall on
the ribs Of cows il they yield to their
impulse TO kick careless mixer:
have seen gentle cows spoiled by
pounding, but | never saw. a kicker
cured by il. II any horned animal
kicks you, try to make it think you like
to be kicked. Kind treatment and the
entire ignoring OF kick from a COW
will generally cure. Animals kick be-
cause they are afraid of,you. and can't
get out OF your way. Convince them
that you won't hurt them under any
circumstances and the cause of the
kicking is removed. For an unsafe or
nervous cow, however, use y rope;
about three-elghths rope is beat. Tie
a good snap to one end and string to
the ether, and have it about two and
one-haF feet long over all. Pass the
rope aroand the left hind leg just
above the gambrel joint, give it one
twist between the legs and then snap
the ends together outside of the right
leg. and your COW is harmless. The
more she is inclined TO kick the tighter
the rope may be twisted. Now keep
this rope hanging just behind the
kicker and you never need whip her.
/ use the same rope to break heifers,
and after putting it on few times
there Is no trouble in milking without
it.-Farm. Stock and Home
