Burglar Proof Lock.

A new sort of lock, to be applied to
ordinary doors, and capable of resist
ing the attack of Burglars, has re-
Gently been exhibited in Paris. AS
every one knows, complication Of
locks on the doors of ordinary houses
and rooms is of very little avail
against the professional burglar, who,
wasting no time in trying to raise the
tumblers and move the bolt, simply
inserts the end of his short iron lever,
or 'jimmy," between the door and its
rebate, and forces the whole affair in
ward, tearing out the locks and bolts
on the way. No multiplication Of
tumblers can prevent this; and the
only real protection against such vio-
lence, as applied to wooden door and
frame, is either heavy piece Of fur
nitnre moved up against the door, or
a strong shore, which answers tho
same purpose, and will hold the door
in place, lock or no lock, until it is
battered in pieces. This new device,
as described in the American Archi-
tect, comprises the combination of the
iron shore with the ordinary lock In
such a manner that locking a door sets
shore in place, which will resist an
enormous strain. On the return of
the proprietor, the unlocking of the
door in the ordinary way shifts the
upper end of the shore from the door
to the frame, where it presents no OBJ
stacle to the opening of the door. The
mechanism of the lock itself need not
be very elaborate, although the pick
ing of the lock would move both the
bolt and the shore, for, if there are
tumblers enough to prevent picking
with bit of wire, few burglars are
likely to have the time or tools fol
more elaborate operations, and If the
Jimmy" will not force an entrance
they will probably give up the under,
taking. AS the iron bar is not fas
tened into the socket at either end, i
may be lifted out in moment II no
wanted, and put out of the way

Learning to Walk.

People sometimes ask, at what age
can we seat child in chair when
put him on his legs how old must he
be before we teach him to walk? The
answers are easy. He must not be
made to sit till he has spontaneously
sat up in his bed and has been able to
hold his seat. This sometimes hap
pens in the sixth or seventh month,
sometimes later. The sitting position
is not without, danger, even when he
takes it himself; imposed prematurely
upon him, it tires the bone and may
interfere with, the growth, so the child
should never be taught to stand or to
walk. That is his affair not ours.
Place him on carpet in a healthy
room in the open air, and let him play
in freedom, roll, try to so ahead on his
hands and feet, or 60 backward, which
he will do more successfully at first ;
1t all gradually strengthens and har-
dens him. Some day he will manage
to get upon his knees, another day to
go toward upon them, and then to
raise himself up against the chairs.
He thus learns to do all he can, as fast
As he can, and no more. But, they
say, he will be longer in learning to
walk IL he is left to 60 on his hands or
knees indefinitely. What difference
does it make ii, exploring the world
in this way, he becomes acquainted
with things, learns to estimate distan-
ces, strengthens his legs and back,
prepares himself, in short, to walk
better when he gets to walking? The
important thing is, not whether he
walks now or then but that he learns
to guide himself, to help himself, and
to have confidence in himself. / hold
without exageration, that education
of the character is going ON at the
same time with training in locomotion
and that the way one learns to wall
ia not without moral Importance

Bird Language.

lHaI Dlrus nave language OF tnell
own is just as certain as that human
beings have the same. OF course oul
talk to the brides is just as unintelli-
gible as theirs is to us. But they dc
talk, not only to one another, but TO us,
cntreating, demanding and exhorting,
no one doubts that has spent any time
studying bird lore.
No one wonders at the skill of par
rots and mocking-birds, for they are
but imitators; but who has not felt his
heart thrill with pleasure in the early
spring days to hear bird cry out in
plain English, "Kill-deer! kill-deer!"
or still later at 'tBob White" repeated
as many times and who has not felt
a thrill of humor as the saucy cat-bird
peers down from some height above
us and drawls out, 81 can't! I can't"
And the meadow lark, who has not
felt a thrill of wondering surprise as
he has been sensible Of a quick flash of
wings, and then heard the sweet notes
of, "You, can't see me you can't see
me " ring out again and again? Who
has not started of in quick pursuit,
but the meadow reveals nothing, for
skulking low down in the grass sits
Mr.. Meadow-lark. Indeed, you may
play game of hide-and-seek with him
but he ever eludes gaze, now darling
up if you come too near, and then sink
down as quickly, ever out Of sight.
How can we help feeling that the bird
means just what he says, and enjoys
his game of hide-and-seek greatly?
And who has not felt thrill of awe
creeping over him as he has been
awakened in the still, small hours of
night by hearing some one call out
"Whip poor Will! Whip-poor-Willp
and then to find that it was only a
bird?
How pleasant it is to have the birds
talking in our own language, if but
word, it makes them doubly dear to
us, and we feel better acquainted with
them. But how much more one can
understand who mingles freely in
bird-life. Are they not higher order
of animal life than we have any idea
of? remember when o .Gild of re-
garding them as halfway between man
and angel.
If birds cannot talk and oonfide to
one another, how do they soon learn to
distinguish between friends and enc
mics? How does a bird know she
may perch on cows back and feast
on the flies there? How docs she know
that she may pick up tiny grains under
the horses feet, and yet fly in the
greatest terror from only the house
cat!
Oh, that we might understand all
the sweet smirks and the pretty words
they have one with another, how much
more entertaining life would be. But
God understands them all. He hears
all their cries, and pities and love them
for has he not said, "Not even a spar
row falls without the Fathers no.
tice ?" and if He notices and loves the
birds SO far below Him, how much
more should we, who are but creatures
of the same Divine Hand Portland

To Poor Farmers.

One reason why so many of our
farmers are poor, is because nine out
of every ten when they settle,on new
farm, clear their land, ting the
stumps from six to Gig n inches
high, then cultivate in corn from six to
twelve years, waiting for the stumps to
rot out before they SOW to grass. Am
personally acquainted with farmers
who have pretended to farm for 90
years, and have never sown a pound
of grass seed on their land. They
plant corn until they wear their land
out, then change to wheat or oats, and
make failure. When 1 clear a piece
of land 1 cut everything smooth to the
ground then haul off all rock, if any,
break and plant to corn, which / cut
and shock in the fall, and then sow to
wheat. The next fall turn the stub
BILE, harrow down smooth, and cut all
sprouts, from the 1st to 10Th of Sep
TENDER; then SOW timothy seed at the
rate of one gallon of seed per acre.
Follow, the LIST of April, with five lbs.
clover seed per acre if seasonable, you
will get good crop the first season.
If sprouts come up to bother, they
should be cut out by the middle of
June. I settled on ridge farm of
140 acres, six years ago, and now have
60 acres in timothy and clover, while
my neighbors, are waiting for their
stumps to rot out. 1t is an uphill
business for farmers to raise three
hogs with so cenfce,ns lint wsrock oily
of good clover and good 2 SlaI
hogs we can make some money
Another great mistake our poor far
mers make is to rough their cattle
through the winter on straw and corn
stalks, and without shelter, bringing
them out in the spring much worse off
than at the beginning of winter; de-
pending on outside range to fatten
them through the summer and selling
them in the fall as grass cattle, at from
l to It cents per pound, when good,
well-kept cattle would command a
good price. There is ho kind of stock
that will pay the farmer better than a
flock of good, healthy sheep; they
should not be confined to one pastuis
too long at a time; change pastures
frequently, and shelter in stormy
weather; feed them clover hay and
some grain in winter, and they will
certainly pay good profit.

Telling Big Trees in the Northwest

II may we'll be imagined that it il
no boys play to cut down tree from
five to ten feet in diameter. The axe
men work in pairs, and after selecting
the place where they desire the tree to
fall, they begin operations. Trees
generally have swell at the base that
is cross-grained and gnarled, hard to
cut, and not good timber, and as it is
not desirable to have this in the1og it
becomes necessary to cut the tree above
this defect. Some trees, especially the
fir, have a great deal of pitch at the
base, and this, also, renders it desira-
BILE to begin cutting some distance
from the ground. Another advantage
Of getting above the ground is being
out Of the way of brush and fallen
timber.
In order to do this the axemen chop
a notch in the tree nearly as high as
their head, the notch being about six
inches deep and about the same in
length, and inserts in it the end of
board, known as chopping board,
upon which he stands to WELD his axe.
The board is piece of oak or fir from
four to five feet long, and about ten
inches wide, the inserting end being
narrower and bound with steel, upon
which Ia calk like that on horseshoe,
which holds the board firmly when
the mans weight is upon it. If the
first notch ia not high enough he cuts
another higher up, and still another,
if necessary, using the boards as steps
until he is often ten or twelve feet
above the ground before he finds
place suitable for chopping. The two
axemen, having thus gained a position
on opposite sides of the tree, begin the
work of chopping with their double
bladed axes, working carefully so as
to direct the fall of the tree in the line
selected. Of late years the improved
style of two-hand saws has been made
to do the chief work. After cutting
with the axe deep line in the tree on
the side to which it is to be made fall,
the men begin saving on the opposite
side of the tree, wedging the cut made
by the saw as they progress, thus keep
ing the saw clear and gradually inclin-
ing the tree in the right direction. In
this way a tree may be made to fall in
the direction directly opposite to its
natural inclination. When the tree
shows symptoms of falling the men
give few well-directed strokes VIII
the axe to guide it in its course, and
then spring lightly to the ground,
standing near the base of the tree,
which experience has proved to be the
safest position. Gradually the forest
giant bows its head, its fibres cracking
like pistol shots, until, at last it comes
down with a rush, its limbs dragging
down others with it, and the under
ones being splintered into pieces.
