"A great convenience for veranda
in summer will be found in round box
with a cover. This box can be elabor-
ately decorated. Have the cover
stuffed so that the box will answer a
double purpose, that OF ottoman on oc-
easion, and a receptacle for ones work,
newspapers, books or light wraps,
which, If left on a chair or settee, might
"be found missing" as the wind has a
most surprising way OF whisking light
articles out OF sight.
Strawberry vinegar is a safe and
cooling drink, especially for fever in

not allow it to boil, only to simmer for

SHEEP IN SUMMER.
The Care and Attention They should Re

The Care and Attention They Should Re
celve From the Flock Master.
In tying up the wool after shearing
no small amount of care is needed to
give the fleece a presentable appear
ance. BY the use of a box a more COM
pact package is secured. the amount OF
twine used will be more uniform, and
the whole operation can be more expe-
ditiously performed. A fleece always
looks badly with locks or punches Of
wool ready to fall from it, and an ex-
cessive amount OF twine makes trouble
with the dealer. In nearly all neigh
borhoods there is some one who is an
expert in wool tying, and is usually en-
ployed by the inexperienced. 1t always
pays to employ such skilled labor, in
shearing as we'll as in doing up the
fleece. 1t is positively ''cruelty to ami
mails the manner in which many
shearers cut and mangle the sheep. In
many barns it would not be tolerated
for a moment.
After shearing, sheep need little
extra care and attention for two or
three weeks. They need shade to pro
tect their bare back from the hot sun
and, if possible, shelter during cold
rains
Salt hesheep frequently. Goamong
them, and treat them kindly, so that
they will crowd around you instead OF
scampering to the opposite side of tho
inclosure. Many seem to think that
bells should be placed on several oi
the tamest ones in order to frighten
away dogs, etc. l have my doubts
about the plan being efficacious Yet
If the flock is near the house, the
jingling Of the bells at any unseason-
able hour may lead to an investigation
Of the cause OF the disturbance, and
perhaps decide what neighbors dog is
guilty of causing it.
During the heat of the summer when
pasturage is short, sheep require quite
an amount of water, not of the muddy,
stagnant kind that cattle choose to
quench their thirst, but pure and cool.

How Some Enterprising Michigandsrs

graph line is the Oldest and longest 1t

runs through Holloway. Tecumseh,
Clinton and to Adrian. and together
with its looping back and forth to farm-
ers' houses contains about seventy
five miles Of wire. The line goes into
about seventy-fve different dwellings,,
stores and post-offices where the farm
ers do most OF their trading. It also
runs into three depots in the county;
two central telephone offices, and "a
number of doctors offices. On the line
are about 175 operators. The line has
been built and is owned by the farmers
who have the use Of it. The line is un-
der the care of manager elected at
the annual meetings OF the st0ckhold-
ers, and money for keeping their line
in repair is raised by tax on the
shares owned by the stockholders. The
expense of building was light and the
tax has never been over two dollars

from one to four operators in every
house, consisting mostly Of the youn-
ger members of the family. even the

Farmers. you do not know, neither
can you imagine what it is worth to be
connected with your neighbors and the
towns in your county by means Of tel

would rather have the telephone, but
that is a mistake. With the telephone
you know little what is going on around
you, but with telegraph you have all

think am putting this pretty strong,
but those along our line would part
with their clocks or their self binders
quite as quick as they now would with
the telegraph. There are two other
lines running through Tecumseh; one
known as the Ridgeway and Britton,

oAlNEsE BURIAL PLACES.

Queer Modes OF sepulture Practlced in
the Celestial Country.
The dead are for the most part
buried, not as with us, in ground set
apart for that purpose (though one fire.
quently lights upon cemeteries duly
chosen with regard to their "lucl1y"
position). but they are simply laid
down anywhere and everywhere. Few
things strike the traveller more than
the Chinese mode of sepulture. Burial
mounds and coffins-the latter some
times exposed in all their hideous bare
ness, at other times wrapped up in
mating, like large chests of tea-meet
the eye at every turn. The Chinaman,
as is we'll know, maintains a sacred
reverence for the spot where his rela-
tives, and especially his ancestors, have
been buried, and for his native locality
as the rengiously-desired place of his
own ultimate sepulture. Whatever,
then, iuterferes with the sacredness of
the spot, and with the ministering SER
vices of the ''wind and water spirits"
is looked upon as anathema Railways
are considered decidedly uncanny.
There is no denying the fact But
there is also no denying that the rever-
ence OF the average Celestial for the
graves of his ancestors is only second
to the reverence for the almighty dol.

out number in the neighborhoof
of the treaty ports where this
foreigner has erected his own
''uncanny" abodes, which frequently
interfered with the "Fongshui"
of burial places, or, as was often the
case, necessitated the removal OF the
burial mounds or coffins; but few dol
lars to the representative of the family
almost invariably smoothed the diff

where there are fertile plains of vast
extent. and which, therefore, present
few engineering difficulties in a coun-
try where the cheapest labor in the
world exists in an inexhaustible supply
labor which, from the wonderful apti-
tude for acquiring proficiency inborn in
every Chinaman, would soon become
skilled labor-the sum as which the
Chinese assess the damage to thegraves
OF their ancestors would add but small
amount to the mileage cost Of the iron
