In front OF the upright and across the

lowing out the idea shown. nothing
could be easier.
A tube made with an inside diameter
of three inches, either of wooden caves
pipe or of boards nailed together, should
be stood up in the barrel and hole
sawed in the barrel head which will just
match the tube. One side of the tube
should be cut away at the bottom.
Filling the barrel to within an inch or
two of the top with brine, the head
should next be pushed down and al
lowed to come up nearly to the surface
OF the brine. Then the prepared tube
may be forced down and held in place
by one or two nails or screws. Having
picked the cucumbers they are pushed
down the tube by plunger or follower
until they reach the open place at the
bottom, when they sail in through the
bottom of the barrel and 60 up under
the prepared head. This being immoy-
able never allows them to reach the air.
The barrel head can be turned half
around in the barrel occasionally, and
thus the barrel will be nearly filled
with the crop which is being preserved

want to make the ridges Two men
with a team can do more with this
ridger than twelve men can the old way,
as it finishes the ridge ready for the
plants without using the hoe at all if it
Is properly handled.
The plants are set with stick about
three feet long, an inch and a half wide,
and about hal an inch thick at the
lower end, which is slightly notched to
hold the plant as it goes down into the
ground. Lay the plants SO that the
butts will be about the center of the
ridge, and with the stick catch only
enough of the end Of the plant to
carry it down. BY this method the
plan Is can be set deeper, and one does
not have to stoop. All cultivation is
given with the ridger by having sharp
straps of iron attached to the wings,
which scrape off weeds as fast as they
come through, only using the hoe
around the plants.-American Agricul-
turist

When the woods have turned to russell
And the apples turned to red,
And the meadow lark that cheercd me
Has across the blue sea fed:
When my heart with doubt is fainting,
And my cheek has lost its glow,

When the wild, strong winds Of white
Dash the waves against the shore,

TACTLESS PEOPLE:
They Are Djsagroeablo Even When They
Mean to he Kind.

They Are Disagroeablo Even When They
Moan to He Kind.
There is u class of unfortunates one
Of whom is usually to be found in every
school or community. They are often
able, scholarly and witty; they have kind,
generous hearts, yet they go stumbling
stupidity through life, woundinR the
hearts and nerves of acquaintance and
friends at every step.
Mary Campbell belongs to this order
of girls. She spends winter in labor
ing faithfully with . Sunday-school
class OF poor children, and then NOR
tally offends them by harshly telling
them of their faults and hoping that
when they meet her in the autumn
their conduct will be greatly improved.
She anxiously recommends the minis
tor, just after tedious discourse, to
study Robertson's sermons as models of
force and vivacity. She insists on talk
ing to man just married to a second
wife of the virtues of the first. She
gives handsome gowns and hats to her
poorer cousins, and invariably adds:
Because you can't afford it, you know,
my dear"
When one does her a favor, If it be
but the gift of bunch of roses, she is
careful to send before night-fall q
present of at least equal money value.
Her brother many years ago gave up
drinking, but whenever she is with
him now she harnesses him with
thanksgivings for his reform, and tells
the story of his fall and victory to any
stranger who may be present
With all these blunders, Mary's in.
tentions are kind, and it never has oc.
Cured to her that her instincts are not
fine or her remarks delicate and sympa-
thetic.

Our French cousins called the uner-
ring perception which enables us to say
without fail the right thing in the right
place the sixth sense. Some of US are
born with it. 1t is as natural trait,
indeed, in the American character as it
is rare in that of some other peoples.
1t can be gained by cultivation of a
kindly spirit, and the habit of placing
ourselves momentarily in each mans
place before we speak to him.-Youth's

seemed-ltterally. the vortex Of the
thunderstorm into which she had been
drawn-we two enra9ed adversariea
struggled together for life.
Another minute and the balloon "a.
capped from the vortex, and sunk heavily
downwards. Torn open. and almost ex-
hausted Of gas by the bu6etinR she had
undergone. the precipitance Of our de-
scent was fearful. Making one more
superhuman effort, Walford suddenly
seized me by the legs, and all but sue
ceeded In casting me, somersault fash.
ion, from the car. But although too
faint and giddy to longer contend with
him, instinctively clutched hold of
the ropes suspending the car to the
hoop At that critical moment the car
came In contact with q tree. In an in
slant it was overturned, and my as.
satlant thrown out, and but for my
grasp on the ropes must have followed
him. In . succession of jerks the car de-
scended through mass of green foliage;
then came sudden cessation Of motion.
The hoop had become firmly entangled
In the interlaced branches of the trees.
and found myself dangling. halt in
and half out of the car, some thirty feet
from the ground. .
Realizing how precarious was my SIT
uation, lost no time in scrambling up
ON branch close at hand. Looking
down, saw Walford lying prone and
motionless on the grass below. Won
dering whether he was dead or alive, I
managed to possess myself Of the guide
rope, which proceeded to secure to the
branch in order to let myself down.
While thus engaged 1 heard shouts, and
looking away I saw two men dashing,
across the green sward. Then there
caught my eye in the distance mag
niicent pile that recognized Is Kenil-
worth Castle.
In few minutes the men reached the
foot of the tree. While one looked up.
with eyes and mouth agape, at the shat
tered balloon, the other gave his atten-
ton to Walford.
As my feet touched the ground tho
man looked up and said. bluntly:
'I'm afraid its all over with him.
SIR"
Yes, all plotting and scheming, all
hatred and love-all were over for
Cecil Walford! There he lay. his neck
broken. and in his eyes the blank stare
of death.
