light, but strong material, four inches
wide and one and half inches thick
and seven feet long. Handles are worked
on each end and the two pieces con-
nected by two crosspieces framed in,
about three feet apart or just right to
hold three crates which are placed
crossways, making the barrow two feet
wide, inside measure.
The framing should be done closely,
as there will be more or less twist and
strain upon the frame. The cross
be more than one inch thick. At the
middle of each cross-strip groove is
plowed one-half inch deep and about
five-eighths by one and one-eighth. This
strip projects at the ends half-inch
and enters into mortices in the side
pieces holding it firm. This pro-
iecting ledge holds the outside of
i crate by catching between two
side Stats. The inner sides of each
outside crate are supported by Stats
passing through the mortices d 0, and
kept from slipping endways by wire
pin attached to the side bar with bit
of string. The Stats should be of ash
and one and half inches wide by FIVE
eighths Of an inch thick. The figure in
the next column shows how the cross
bars supported the crates; one of the
side bars against the ends of the crates;
a b are the T'shaped -cross-pieces. The
berry crates are first set Oinside and
slightly moved sideways to engage the
projections on and b then the crate
is set between and the Stats d and slid
in and the crates are ready to move
from place to place as may be desired.
Such barrow will come handy in
moving crates from the farther end of
long rows, in bringing in berries when
the wagon is on the road and in carry
ing out empties. It's construction is SO
simple and it's cost so small that the
procuring of one or more on every
fruit farm should be attended with adj
vantage. Popular Gardening.

THE FARMING WORLD.
An INGENIOUS DEVICE.

Cheap hut Useful Hand-Barrow for Car
rying Berry Crates.
What Is known In Ohio Is the Barnes
vile bushel berry crate Is very sub
stantial and convenient package, but
extremely hard to carry any distance
when flled, rs it has to be carried at
arms length in front OF the knees It
is also unhandy for two persons, and
even II regular trunk handles were
furnished for greater convenience in
carrying crate between two persons
there still would be the objections
that 1t needs two persons to carry
one crate, and these two persons walk
ing abreast would require five feet OF
width to walk comfortably. As in
strawberries the path is less than two
feet wide and in raspberries and black
berries scarcely three, it is easy to see
that any contrivance that will permit
walking in single file is much superior.
In carrying the empties to the field
the children run long stick through
the handle holes and carry it walking
tandem, as the pictures represent the
Israelite spies carrying grapes In this
case the boxes are nested insthe bot
tom out of the way.
To overcome the difficulty of hand
ling am constructing this winter some
hand barrows as represented in the il
lustration. They are arranged for car
rying three crates, if necessary, or about

Novel Way or Designating the Mem
beis of the Royal amtly. =
One of the daintiest of the many
quaint little statelets to be found scat
tered over Germany, is that of Reuss-
Schleiz.
The greater part of the Kingdom be-
longs to the reigning sovereign, so that,
seeing he has sole executive power, his
position, if a little despoticyought to be
a very comfortable one, at least for
him. whatever his subjects may think
of the matter.
All the Princes who belong to tho
regnant family are called Heinrich"
This saves trouble in finding out new
names, but is likely to give the local
postman little trouble.
To obviate this, each Prince is sol
EMMY numbcr the moment he puts
his Teutoric nose into the world. Every
century these numbers are wound up,
and written off in the family Bible, and
with the commencement of the new
century the Heinrichs begin at number
one again.
The last Prince who died, and who
was born in 1889, carried tagged on to
his name the very respectable number
of CXXXvIII., thus limiting that near
ly Heinrich and half had blessed
Reuss-Schleiz per year for the whole @of
the eighteenth century.
The public income of Reuss-Schleix is
equal to that Of an English draper in a
fairly good street, and, its population

least populous and smallest Of London

PIONEER JUSTICE.


How Two "Onery Cusses" Were Dealt
WITH Long Ago.
J. NJ. Jones, the first justice of the
peace of Spokane, made it hot for vio-
lators of the peace and dignity of the
embryo city away back in the day when
what is now Spokane County. was the
southern part of Stevens County, and
when there was little about the frontier
camp that bore the name of the great
falls t. suggest the nucleus Of city.
Two hard characters were one day
brought before his honor on a charge OF
selling whisky to Indians.
After hearing some very conyicting
evidence in the case Judge Jones calm
ly pronounced the prisoners guilty and
sentenced them to the territorial pen
itentiary for two years.
but look here, Judge, interposed one
of the other officers of the court, "you
ant got enough jurisdiction to send
them fellows up You ought to bind
'cm over"
His honor adjusted his specs and
looked through his copy of Every Man
His Own Lawyer" Finally he said:
II don't find any thing in my library
about it, but that don't make burned
bit of difference. It's the rulings and
the findings of this here court that this
court has jurisdiction in this case. And
by Hockey these two low-down emery
cusscs goes to the penitentiary. J, Dye
hear my gentle voice?"
Accordingly the two whisky mer-
chants were sent up to the sheriff at
colville.
As twas a long road over to the
coast, where the penitentiary was at
that time, the sheriff kept Judge Jones'
convicts. at hard labor on the different
ranches in the vicinity of Colville for
about six months. Spokane Spokes-

THE GYPSY JARaoN.

The Romany Tongue Is Descended from
the Greatest of Ancient Languagesi
It is because gypsics of all lands
wherever they go are Romantics, as
they call themselves, and not French
or Americans, that they have always
seemed mysterious race. They were
looked upon in old times as sorcerers
and magicians. Many a poor gypsy
has been accused of magic for no better
reason than. was Esmeralda in Victor
Hugo's novel "Notre Dame de Paris
the gypsy girl who was killed because
she had trained goat that could dance
and play tricks. Even nowadays there
fingers a mystery about the gypsies in
their tents. 1t is this difference, this
mystery, that has set not few schol-
ars to the study Of the Remany and
his manner of life. 1t fascinated.
George Borrow, who went to wander
with the wanderers and pitch his tent
eby theirs in quiet dingle or. by the
roadside; and Mr.. Charles G. Leland,
who in all his travels in England or
Egypt, America or Russia, has given
his first thoughts to the Romantics of
tie country, Mr.. Francis Groome
spends days and hours in Gypsy
Tents" Mr.. Hubert Smith married
gypsy. 1t is not merely the Romany
himself that interests these men, it is
his language, or jargon-for language
it really is no longer. But the strange
words the gypsies use, stringing them
together with English phrases and ex-
pressions, are the surest proof of their
Hindoo origin. Some constantly in the
mouths of these shabby, shifVless wan
derers are to be found in the Vedas,
the oldest sacred hymns in existence;
others are in common use to-day in
India. A friend of mine once told me

early with tomatoes and cabbage, The

EGYPTIAN hARPs.

Musfcai Instrumsnts Of This kind Were
IN Use 1850 b. G.
The Egyptians possessed various
kinds Of harpA, some Of which were eie-
eAntly shaped and tastefully ornar
mented. The largest were about six
and one-half feet high, and the small
ones frequently had some sort Of stand
which enabled the performer To play
upon Me instrument while standing.
The name Of the harp was "buni, :"
says arswriter. Its frame had no front

foTe, can not have been any thing like

Bruce's discovery created sensation
among the musicians. The fact that at
SO remote an age the Egyptians should
have possessed harps which vie with

form appeared to some SO incredible
that the correctness of Bruce's repre-

was greatly doubted.
Sketches of the same harps, taken
subsequently ard at different times
from the frescoes, have since been pub
lished, but they differ more or less from
each other in appearance and in the
number of strings.
A kind of triangular harp Of the
Egyptians was discovered in weff-
preserved condition, and is now depos-
tied in-the Louvre. 1t has twenty-one
strings, greater number than is gen
orally represented on the monuments.
