He handed the board to the old gem
tleman, then stepped up to his room
for a moment. Grandfather leisurely
set his men and then stood in astonish-
ment as Dick took his seat before the
board.
"What-heyP What's all thisp"
Dick was also setting his men-nSt,
however, the red ones that usually
played against the black, but twelve
shining gold pieces. He sat back in
his chair and laughed at the old gen.
tleman's astonished face before saying:
II am little older than you were,
grandfather, when you set your board
with silver pieces, but as these are
gold, don't you think ! am about

"Ho, hot" laughed the old man.
''He said he couldn't beat me. But ]

Dick. Sixty dollars. and cheap

WINTERINe POTATOES.

Planting in the Spring.

How to Keep Them in Good Condition For
Planting in the Spring.
We had our coldest weather last
winter about the last OF February.
just as it was over we drew out two
loads OF straw and put over the heap
that contained our seed potatoes. All
the earth on the heap was frozen solid.
We covered it about one foot deep
with packed straw. We used that
which was short and chaffy, from near
where the end of the straw carrier
was at threshing-time, thinking it
would be better non-conductor.
April 4 there was no frost in the
ground. and we dug into the pit to see
how they were. The earth was still
nearly all frozen, and it took vigorous
work with the pick to get hole
through. May we opened and began
planting. The frost seemed then to be
just from the earth. Some of the eyes
on the seed end OF the tubers had
started. It looked as though this was
done last fall. You know the early
winter was very mild. Some other
eyes had started a little; but as a
whole the seed was very sound, and
in nearly perfect condition. They
were Hebron potatoes, which sprout
very early under ordinary circum.
stances. Two Of my neighbors tried
this way of keeping, with same variety
of potatoes with good success. Another
reported his badly sprouted (kept in
cellar) and said he should try this
way Of burying next winter. The
straw was drawn back In the barn fol
bedding, so only the use OF it and the
little labor need be charged to .tht
potatoes. The potatoes are entirely
dry in the pile. We put three bushels
OF New Queens in bags and laid then
in with the others last fall. The bag
even were not injured. One frient
last fall thought / had better build I
board roof over the pile. felt sur,
that straw put on as described woul'

THE air brakes are held against the
wheels Of the railroad cars by springs, and
the air is turned into the cylinders to push
the brakes away from the wheels as long as
the train is in motion. When 1t Is desired
to stop the train the air is let out, and thus
the springs apply the brakes and stops the
train.

form similar to the letter theta Of the
Greeks, embodying the consonant and the
aspirate.

Origin of the Square.

Pliny says that Theodorus, Greek
of Samos, invented the square and
level, but the square figure is seen in
the represented designs Of the tower
OF Babel, one OF the earliest important
known structures. The city Of Baby
lon was a perfect square, and the
bricks used in its buildings and walls
were square; so, probably, were those
in Babel. Now to form small squares
correctly and to introduce them in
endless combination into buildings, II
needed guiding instrument Of some
kind. So the square as constructive
tool came into use. Among the ruins
Of Babylon, Nineveh and Petra it is
said to have been represented. There
are pictures and sculptures from the
ruins OF Thetes in Egypt showing the
square in the hands Of the artisan.

The only herds remaining in Great
Britain are those OF Hamilton Park,
Chillingham Park and Chartley Park.
1t is difficult to determine to what ex-
tent they are pure. Storer was OF the
opinion that mo wild herd, il inn
prisoned in park, and interbred for
several hundred years without cross,
could be in existence now" There is
a tradition that q whole herd from
Drumlanrig twas sold and driven of
to Chillingham" about a hundred years
ago, and that freshablood was occa-
sionally introduced from other sources.
On the other hand. there are evidences
Of inbreeding in the fact that the an
nual increase is only one in five. It is
we'll authenticated that the Hamilton
cattle were formerly hornless, and the
horus which they now possess are said
to be the result OF the invasioA of the
park bya West Highland bull. Black,

Of crosses in the past. These colored
