To lessen the noise from gas engines
Robert Grimshaw in Dixie advises split
ting the exhaust pipe for about or feet
and opening out the halves of the pipe SO
as to make flaring outlet. By this means
the bark" will be much lessened. Split
ting down the pipe by four cuts instead of
two, so that the four parts can be opened
out In funnel shape, will be still better.

E clad for the most
z \ part only In tow
linen shirts and
jeans pantaloons
and buttoning the
latter as they ran,
for the affair was tooimportant to be missed
on account Of little informality in toilet.
And close after them often came two or
three mothers with the nervous warning:
"Now, Billy, don't go near them anvils."
Sammy, will you stand back, or do you
want to get blowed upi" And stranger
to boys and to the custom would have con-
cluded that Sammy certainly did want to
get "blowed up" for it was the regular
complaint Of the men In charge that there
wouldn't he speck Of danger If 1t weren't
for the derned boys crowdin in So"
BY this time the rising sun showed the
whole population up, and in the country as
far as boom of cannon or ring of bells could
be heard there was great excitement among
the boys, each eager to get his breakfast
and be off for the village. The men and
women came in later If it wasn't good
harvest day."
By 10 o'clock all the town was out, and so
many from the country that the village
contained 5000 or 1000 people II the sea-
son had been very early down on the sand
barrens," few watermelons were for sale,
but not often. OF homemade beer, ginger
cakes, currant pies, striped candy and the
like ydhe sale was wonderful-a stand un-
der every big tree. In the village grocery
the big cheese was cut and regular custo-
mers invited to taste 1t. "Cubasix" cigars
(six for cents) were SO plentiful that every
boy could have one. The men gave way to
unwonted generosity, and whisky they had
always with them-"20 cents gallon, and
that that's good" Shutting up the gro
ceries'-they were not called saloons" till
near the war-would have provoked a riot.
And really our latter day orators, who
date all our greatness from the war, ought
to read some of these old time speeches,
for the country then seemed even greater,
richer and freer to its citizens than it does
now. The speaker gave "old England"
few vigorous whacks, pitied the subjects
of foreign despotisms," congratulated his
fellow citizens on their glorious freedom
and generally wound up with statement
that "but for our noble forefathers, who
on this day so nlany years ago declared
these colonies free and independent, we,
fellow citizens, would have been the sub
jects of despotism like the wretched Irish,
perhaps, trodden into the mire of slavery
and compelled to give one-third Of all we
possessed to the king and his soldiers" In
the enumeration of the horrors of despot-
ism one count nearly always appeared
that one-third of what the farmer raised
would be taken by the despotl
