CONAN DOYLE.

DIR. Conan Doyle, another famous
writer in that line, created in ''Sher-
lock Holmes a new style of detective.
His character is that of physician, who
studies men and their motives and al
ways captures the criminal in the end
DR.. Doyle's greatest task is in devising
the climax. He always gets that and
writes the end of the story first-all the
rest is easily done in a week. He is a
tall, broad shouldered and very open
air sort of man, and says that his best
ideas come to him when he is walking,
rowing, tricycling or playing tennis.

Tho Wife of Columbus.

What about Mrs. Columbus? She
ought to figure somehow in the celebra-
ton, although there is no picture of her
extant. She was Miss Palestrello, of
Lisbon, and became the wife of Column
bus in 147O. Her father was navigator,
and from old Palestrello's charts Column
bus got his first ideas about western
passage to the Indies.

The Applause Beaconsaeld Loved Best.

1t seems, from story just brought to
light, says an English paper, that in the
earlier portion of his career Benjamin Dis
raeli was on a visit to Liverpool, and was
induced to have look at the Royal ex-
change. Accompanied by friend, he went
when the place was thronged with mer-
chants-at high noon. The scene was a
striking one, and it impressed Disraeli
much. He said, my idea of greatness
would be that a man should receive the
applause of such an assemblage as this
that he should be cheered as he came into
this room"
No one noticed Disraeli on this occasion.
1t was no doubt before he made his at
tacks on Sir Robert Peel and his person
ality had not yet been presented to Eng
lishmen through the cartoons of Punch.
But day came when he was again on a
visit to Liverpool, and had obtained a
prominent position in the political world.
He went to the exchange in company with
the same friend (Mr. Stewart), and on this
occasion his entrance was noticed, and IA
cheer was raised which soon spread into a
roar and ended in a perfect ovation. Dis
raeli was deeply moved. He recalled TO
Mr. Stewart the remark that he had made
years before, and admitted with pride and
pleasure that his ideal test OF greatness
had been realized. Few would have
guessed that Lord Beaconsfeld's idea of
appreciation was that involved in cheer
from men immersed in calculations of con
soils or in tile rise and depression of the
Eiore speculative stocks.

Grades of Hay.

The different grades of hay, as gen.
orally understood by the trade, are as
follows: Choice timothy, to be timothy,
and not more than one-eighth of other
tame grasses mixed; good color, we'll
cured and free from must. Strictly
prime, to be timothy, and not more than
one fifth of other tame grasses mixedj
good color, we'll cured and free from
must Prime, to be sound, we'll cured,
good color and free from must, and may
contain thrce-fourths of tame grasses
and one-fourth timothy. Mixed hay, to
consist of tame grasses, mixed; good
color, well cured and free from must.
All kinds of hay badly cured, stained,
or in any way out of condition, are re-
garded as no grade.

California is to be honored by having
} section of one of her famous big trees
made prominent feature in the Gov
eminent building at the Columbian ex-

An invention that attracted attention
at state fair was transplanting ma
chine for setting tobacco, cabbage and
other plants and firming the earth
around them; also automatically water,
ing the roots of the plants.
Times are changing. Two or three
years ago self spacing frames were not
considered practical, and the reversing
features of the latest honey extractors
were regarded as just so much surplus
machinery. But beekeepers are think
ing differently now. Honey is being
produced on larger scales, and better
and more rapidly operated appliances
are demanded, and these things come of
necessity.

Weeyils in Corn.

A Texas correspondent in Insect Life
gives the following as successful plan
for keeping weevils out of corn: sin
putting up his corn in the fall he placed
two open bottles containing bisulphide
of carbon about four feet apart on the
floor of the bin. The mouths of the bot
ties were covered with single layer of
cheese cloth, and each bottle was COW
cred with an old broken box. The bin
was then filled with corn to its utmost
capacity, and the result of the expert
ment was highly successful. What live
weevils were admitted from the field
were destroyed and none further APP,
peared. 1t is also claimed to have kept
mice and rats out of the bin"

tween the uprights, and the material
will be sufficient usually to more than
fence the whole line. One will also reap
the advantage of being able to clear up
the weeds and brush along the old fence
row and crop the land more closely. A
slab or plank 81 feet long, averaging 3
by 9 inches, will do for the bottom
piece; strips 2 by inches for the up
rights and others by or for the side
braces.
Waste strips, that may be bought by
the cord for almost nothing frequently,
will serve admirably, and may be sawed
and nailed together in the barn or shop
when storms prevent outdoor labors
The uprights and braces are nailed to
the bottom piece and to each other one
foot from the top of the uprights, a
space of not over five inches being left
between uprights. No fence is better
for sheep. Unless the nails are clinched
wire nails should not be used, as thev
draw out so easily, enduring but little
strain and rendering the fence weak.
Light poles can be laid up between these
braces if desired instead of rails.

SOME EXAMPLES OF HOW HISTORY
REPEATS ITSELF.

Mate Leroy Suggests That 1t Is Hardly
the Thing to Wear an Old Fashioned
Gown and a Modern Bonnet-Some of
the Latest Styles.
| Copyright lo92, by American Press Assoca-
ton
How history repeats itself we need only
glance at the passing fashions to see, and
while we might have some reasons to OBJ
ject to wearing old styles over again we
still have others to be thankful that we
are thus enabled to Gull the choicest ideas
out OF two or three centuries. If one
woman looks better in long skirted and
short wasted dress, why not let her wear
IL In as serene content as fills her sisters
heart in a fin de siecle2 If one finds her
great-grandmother's old poke bonnet sets
Oil her fair face to good advantage, why
frown because it is not a tiny little crea-
ton with pair of velvet donkey's ears
upon it? That is how fashion stands to-
day. But when individual fancy causes a
woman to put on a frock that irresistibly
recalls that of her great-grandmother's
and little bonnet of the hour, the effect
is not exactly artistic. To dress artistic
ally is easy. All one wants to do is to
have everything in perfect keeping. When
that is not done the richest and most elab-
crate costumes fail of their effect.
The dressing of the hair has a very great
deal to do with the becomingness of the
whole of lady's toilet. With the pres
ent style of wearing soft fluff Of hair over
the brows or few short curs all the hard
lines are softened, and almost any kind of
headgear can be worn, and the softened
and refined effect of the broken lines reaches
indefinably through the whole system of
woman's apparel. The face is framed like
picture in the loveliest manner, and it's
grace and softness pervade the whole.
One may know this by occasionally meet
ing woman whose hair is combed smoothly
back, leaving the forehead bare. There is
no bonnet or hat that can look well under
such circumstances, and not only the face,
but the whole woman, will have hard and
unwomanly look She may partially hide
it by a hat which covers her forehead but
there is still that uncompromisingly hard
outline

the whole costume is of dark olive green,
