absorb moisture from the ground and
usually at least half a ton of 1T would
become moldV, and spoiled before it

save the hay from waste, and also

snowed under. In beginning the
stack on this rail bottom, care must
be taken not to enlarge too rapidly

frequently made by beginners, who
fail to keep in mind that while the

The London clubs, which have
been suffering from the hard times,
are considering, as an emergency
measure, the admission of women as
guests, perhaps even as members. OF
course the bare proposal has raised a
howl Of disapproval from the more
conservative class of clubmen, who
have unanimously resorted to the
Englishman's usual expedient when
he thinks his rights are in danger of
invasion - writing letters to the
Times. These letters are of all sorts
and degrees of composition, but
unanimous as to purpose, and their
number indicates either that there is
an overwhelming sentiment against
the admission of the ladies to the
clubs, or that few men are so VIC
lently opposed to associate with the
fair sex as to be moved thereby to
most remarkable epistolary industry.

Many keep up the narrowing until

Injurious to corn to have some Of its

curdle on exposure to warmth and
air, and cheese can be made from it,
The only thing that prevents this
new process from revolutionizing the
dairy business is that the milk made
arti6cially costs more than the other.
The inventor has not succeeded in
making any for less than 81 per gal
Ion or 20 cents per quart. He is still
experimenting, and hopes to be able
to make milk at 10 to 10 cents per
gallon. Perhaps there is to be a
revolution in the life of future COWS

life of the street.car horse.

MEMBERS Of Colonel Breckinrldge's
family, it is said, hint that the Ken
lucky Colonel's sanity is not above
suspicion, and there are certainly
good grounds for crediting the state
ment. 1t is difficult to see how a
man Of sound mind could have acted
as Colonel Breckenridge has acted
during the last two years. He pal
tered and broke faith with the Pol
lard woman, knowing that she had
the ability and the inclination to
ruin him. He courted legal adju-
dlcation of the matter when a sane
man would have known that he was
certain to lose Since the trial, in
stead Of touching as lightly as pos
slble upon his shame and dishonor,
he has made them the issue of his
campaign. He has wallowed In the
muck Of his disgrace, and recounted
his sins with an air OF self-satisfac-
tion, These things may indicate only
phenomenal egotlsm or a peculiar
moral obllqulty, but insanity is GER
tainly a charltably hypothesis and
the friends Of the Congressman are
doing him a kindness IN spreading
the theory.

FIG. 3. SECTION OF wELL-BUnT STACK,
hay. A beginner frequently stands
in the middle and places the hay
around him, but exactly the opposite
course should be pursued. The
stacker should walk slowly round
the outer edge of the stack, laying
the hay in courses until it is we'll
above the shoulder after which he
should remain nearer the middle,
Fig 3 shows a section of stack
built in this way, the shaded por-
tions indicating where it was
trampled more compactly in build
ing. In the upper portion the cen
ter is kept hard, so that in settling,
the hay on the outside drops little,
and thus sheds water perfectly A
stack built in this way will never
tip over or settle to one side. 1t is
an excellent method to leave a small
piece of swale orlowland grass. AT
ter hayiDg, cut this, and, without
waiting for it to cure, put it on the
wagon while yet green, and proceed
to top the stacks; that is, repair
and build up their tops wherever
they have settled. A stack, when
completed, should approach in form
very nearly to that of hens egg
standing on It's large end. When
this is finished, secure it against
high winds by putting on changers )"

of an animal getting loose and injur-
ing others, as very often happens
where a pin is used as a fastening.
If a cord is connected with every
stanchion in a row in the manner
shown in the sketch, every animal in
the row may be set free in an instant
should a fire make such thing de-
sirable. Fig. 2 shows the same de-
vice for instantly freeing a whole row

humane chain fastening. The Illus

The Inventive Age notes that
there are now flfty-tve towns and
cities in England which destroy their
garbage and solid refuse by burning,
using an average of about ten fur
naces each fog that purpose. The
combustion of the material is used
for the generation of steam, by which
the streets are electrically illum-
mated, and other cities are reported
to be considering the propriety of re-
ducing their municipal expenses by
this means. The Livet, the latest
introduced method, is stated to burn
on an average 1874 pounds of rubbish
per hour for each square foot of
CRATE surface, with an evaporation of
4.os pounds of water for each pourd

THERE are harsh and rough and
naughty ways of granting favors
which take all the grace and beauty
out of them and destroy the graft
ture which otherwise would natural
ly flow. 1t was once said of talent
cd and lovely woman that her sweet
and gracious manner of refusing a
request was far more welcome and
pleasing than the consent given by
another. To accept a favor given re-
luctantly or with rough and dis
courteous bearing, or with the air Of
a superior, always produces a sense
of humiliation, and nothing is more
fatal to gratitude

The new cruiser Columbia, which
recently sustained bad dent in her
bottom while proceeding down the
Delaware River on her final accept
ance trial, will now have to go into
dry dock. In the meantime court
Of inquiry has been ordered to ascer-
tain whether the ship was run at
reckless speed in narrow channel
having a maximum depth scarcely
two feet more than the draught of
the vessel. 1t is claimed on the one
hand that the injury was caused by
striking wreckage with which the
floods had filed the river, and on the
other that she struck a submerged
rock. Whatever may have been the
cause, the injury is quite a serious
one, as the dent is ninety feet long,
four feet wide, and nearly one foot
deep, and the outer plates have been
loosened so as to cause several leaks.
In spite of it, however, the Columbia
satisfactorily completed her final
tests, so that the disaster assumes an
unusual Importance beyond the fact
that it is the first one which has oc.
Cured to any of our new cruisers. Ii
is of interestGin this connection that
the cruiser Minneapolis, the sister
ship of the Columbia, had her trial
trip recently, She is reported to be
the finest vessel of the commerce de-
stroying cruisers yet constructed.
She is of 1900 tons displacement and
the contract calls for a speed of TWEEN
ty-opO kpats an hour.

the bark Of the scion match the inner
bark Of the stump; then pack the soil
firmly about the graft and cover the
stump level with the surface of the
surrounding soil. Scions should be
OF the ordinary size for celft grating.
No tying or waxing will be needed.
The gain by this method is that one
years time is saved, as we do not
have to wait for the growth Of new
shoots on which to graft.

The Importance of the growing
commerce on the Great Lakes which

increase as the country grows older,
but already rivals our commerce on
the Atlantic. There are now 3, 761

barges. To accommodate the mill
ions of traffic which these boats
carry, the Government Constructed the

vessels which last year passed through
this canal are three times as many as
those which passed through the Suez

goes directly to Europe through the

has been more enterprising. If we
