But drive a little faster, on slow or
moderate trot, four and a half or five
miles an hour, and then the mud which
is carried up on the rim of the wheels
will not drop, for the increased circular
motion now given to them will impart
enough centrifugal force to hold the
mud to the wheels. The rim is the only
part that will be muddy; the spol1es

successfully practised this course more
than fifty years. But if the horse is
driven six or seven miles an hour, this
increased velocity will send the mud

of eight or nine miles, it will be shot as
high as the top of the cover, and the
driver will be liable to receive u liberal

The horses weren't urged a bit, and

an officer of the road, became aware of
the scheme. He made Il voyage to the
front platform.

A contemporary summarizes the in
teresting account of Neigh borhood
Guilds given by DR.. Stanton Colt, the
young American who has been apply
ing to London life the experiment
which he had already carried out in the
heart of New York poverty. A neigh
borhood guild consists of a number of
small clubs formed according to age.
DR.. Colts field is divided into five clubs
two for young boys and girls, two
for youths and maidens and one for
adults. In each guild the clubs
are small enough for the leader
to know each member personally
the vice of excessive size being
one which DR.. Colt condemns. Several
guilds may federate-the theory of the
guild is that of reproducing the family
as the best type of corporate life. Above
all, everything is built on a democratic
basis. and each guild is self-governing.
It's the chief idea of each guild worker
that there is to be no condescension, no
going down" to the poor. The success
of the various experiments in guilds
shows that this form of charity meets
certain needs of the age, and undoubt
edly leads to an exten sion of social SYM
pathy, and to better understanding
between the rich and the poor

CROSSING THE FORTH BRIDGE.
An Old Lady's Fear About the Under
taking.

An Old Lady's Fear About the Under
taking.
A London journal says that a stout
and elderly woman was on board a train
which was approaching the Forth
bridge. Her remarks, which she be-
slowed right and left upon her fellow
passengers, showed that she was unac
customed to travelling; yet she must
have been something of a philosopher
in her own way.
The old lady was nervous about the
bridge. She had seen pictures of it, and
had made up her mind that it could not
be quite safe. She kept inquiring when
the train would come to it, and at last
was told that it was close at hand.
''Well," said she, rather solemnly, 81
don't know whether we shall get over
alive or not, but if we don't it sha n t
be my fault"
Then she settled into the corner of
the seat with determined air and a
puckered-up mouth, which were only
less droll than the general air of respon-
sibility which brooded over her. During
the passage of the bridge she did not
speak a word, but seemed to be holding
her breath.
There said a gentleman in a neigh
boring seat, I'VE are over it safe
The old woman heaved an explosive
sigh.

It is built like the drawing. The little
doors enter a shop feet wide across
one end. Rolling doors protect the re-
mainder of the front. They are hung
so as to pass one another or the small
doors and the convenience is perfect.
Wagons or machines out of order may
be taken bodily into the shop where
wrenches, etc, quickly put them to

wide and may be made of any desired
length. A rolling platform Sx12 feet
covers an aperture in the upper floor
through which sleighs, rakes and other
light things are raised by pulleys for
storage. A piece of scantling fastened
to the wall near the floor will prevent
mowers and wagons from marring it
with their hubs. Abundance of light

agencies -Hollister Sage. in Farm and

Why Every Well-Regulated Farm should
Have Tool House.
1t is not to be wondered at that man
ufacturers of agricultural machinery

would do vastly better to go in debt for
means with which to build tool and
machine house than to get trusted for
new implements with which to work
his land and then leave them to natures

house are tight roof and dry floor. For
the former it is doubtful if anything is

To Avoid a Rose Cold.

Did you ever hear of a rose cold?
Well, there are some people so eonsti-
tuted that they are affected with vio-
lent sneezing fit when they inhale the
oGor of a rose. Others are attacked by
a sort of asthma l knew lady once
who tainted at the smell of pine
apple. Oh, the best way to cure
it is to get away from the neigh
borhood of the flower, of course, but
people who are liable to rose cold
should always carry viniagrette con-
tanning aromatic vinegar, or else a bot
tie of smelling salts, whenever they go
into company during the rose season.
The inhalation of either will, in nine
cases out of ten, counterfeit the effects
of the rose.-Phiiadelphia Inquirer.

NAMING A TOWN.
The Father of Seven Red-Headed Sisters
Started the Town of AaburndaIe.

started the Town OF Adburndale.
The town of Auburndale, Wis, re-
ceived it's name in a peculiar manner.
Years ago, when that section was COM
paratively undeveloped and land was
cheap, a man named King located there
and built mill.
The place had good shipping facil-
tiles, and the mill soon become a nu-
cleus of quite thriving, busting little
town.
for the embryo city, and by common con-
sent the right of naming it was conced-
ed to the first settler, Mr.. King.
The citizens wanted to call the place
Kings Mills, but the old gentleman OBJ
jected. He said he didn't want his name
tackled OF to any one-horse or two-horse
village.
Now, says the New York Continent,
the old man was the happy father of
seven bouncing daughters, and the viii
layers suggested that the name of one
of them should be given to the new
town.
This idea pleased the father as much
as it pleased the seven daughters. but
which one of the seven fair ones should
be honored above her six sisters? The
town could not be handicapped with all
the seven names.
Finally happy thought struck the
old man. Every one of his seven daugh-
tiers was red-headed. He decided to
honor them all by christening the town
Auburndalc, and Auburndale it remains
to this day.

Coral Pink Gowns.

The prevailing fancy for pink has
brought into vogue new shade, called
coral pink, to which yellowish tints are
added that make it almost salmon color.
1t is most effective when trimmed with
black. as in charming little morning
dresses of lawn of the plain coral-color,
with yoke of black lace and flounces
edged with black purling. a unique
touch is given to such a gown by belt
of wide velvet ribbon, shading from
coral-color on one edge. through golden
brown, to bright corn-fiower blue on
the other edge. This is softly folded
around the waist and fastened with a
chou on the left side. Pink coral cloths
and velvets are being manufactured for
calling-dresses and for carriage wraps
for the early autumn days.-Harper' S

FASHIONS GLASS.
Fads and Fancies Now Prevalent Among
the Ladies.

tHt
White gloves, either plain or stitched,
are the fancy of the moment, and are
worn with all costumes.
Silk jersey is a popular ia brio. Among
the late novelties is this goods woven
in fine rep, which is used for entire
dresses. 1t comes in old rose, pale gray,
bige and other light shades, embroidered
in fine-cut jet beads.
White wells are the mode. They are
worn at all hours of the day, and are
frequently accompanied by white gloves
and shoes. They are embroidered all
over with little sprigs and have seal
Hoped edges.
One of the fads of the late summer is
a rolling chamois collar in the natural
color pinl<ed about the edge. With this
is worn gloves to match. Both collar
and gloves can be successfully washed
in cold water.
Shirt waists are much worn early in
the day. colored waists with white be-
ing especially fashionable. Change
able silk shirts are much the vogue,
and are in rather dark colorS, as moss
changing to rose or buff to blue.
A fairy-lil<e fabric which is favorite
material for garden party dresses is
Brussels net figured in bright-colored
blossoms that look as if done by hand.
These dresses are mounted on silk and
are much trimmed with delicate ribbon
and lace.
White wool gowns arc popular and
promise to remain with US until the late
autumn. 4 favorite material for these
gowns is Bedford cord trimmed with
white guipure lace. With these white
gowns is worn white hat, shoes,
gloves and parasol.
Feather boas of various kinds are
used for chilly mornings and evenings,
and promise to continue in popular
favor during the coming season. They
are of curled ostrich feathers, of downy
marabout, stiff coque feathers, or of
the brilliant, argus-eyed tips of the pea
cock mounted in dark-green feathers
stripped from the quill.
Fashions inspirations in these days
are drawn from all sources. artistic as
well as industrial, and reproduce the
very best ideas of the past, modified by
the cultivated and advanced tastes as
well as the practical demands of the
present. 1t is now almost impossible
that this or that is the fashion in any
sense of limitation, because there is
hardly a limit to the boundary lines
now under the vast dominion of la
mode.-Chicago Post.

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

BUTTER makers re warned to soak
and not steam their tubs. When steam
ed it is difficult to get the butter out.
SKINNED milk can be kept sweet for
from tw enty-four to forty-eight hours
by beating it. 1t must be heated to $50
degrees.
THE odor of some ch urns, especially
the barrel churn, is enough to sicken
one of butter for a lifetime. Keep the
churns clean.
WHEN the particles of butter are al
most the size of n grain of wheat. stop
churning, draw off the buttermilk and
turn in water to wash the butter.
"EXCEEDINGLY good buttermilk,"
said a gentleman who was recently
given glass of that fluid. He was
right. for it was thick with butter.
