suggested by the Royal society, as far
back as 1869.
The seven iron scrolls which support
the ball and cross, are connected with
other rods, used as conductors, which
unite them with several large iron
bars descending obliquely to tire stone
work of the lantern, and connected by
an iron ring, with four other iron bars
to the leaden covering of the great
c1lpola, distance Of fifty feet. Thence
the communication Is continued down
ward by the rainwater pipes to the
lead-covered roof, and thence again by
leaden water pipes which pass down
into the earth, partly through iron,
and partly through lead. On the clock
tower, looking down Ludgate Hill,
bar of iron connects the pineapple or
namentation at the top with the iron
staircase which leads up to it inside,
and thence to the lead on the roof OF
the church.
The bell tower at the northwest an

exceedingly small in quantity when
compared with the bulk of the fabric

AN ARMLEss NIMRoD.

Bags More Game Than Any Other Hunter
In the Same County.
An armless Nimrod is the wonder Of
the people and the envy Of the sports
men of Bucks county, says the Phila,
delphia Record. He is John Simon, OF
Zion Hill, and his prowess Is some
thing marvellous. Simon's arms were
ground off above the elbows in ma
chinery few years ago, but his love
Of hunting spurred his ingenuity, and
he overcame his seeming insurmounta-
bic obstacle. He straps his single-bar-
rel, breech-loading hammerless gun to
his right arm, and when he sights
game he swings the piece over the
stump Of his left arm, takes quick aim
and fires, generally with telling effect.
His mode of loading is as uniqe as his
shooting He carries the shells In his
hat, and when he wants one bows low,
drops his hat on the ground, pulls out
the empty shell with his teeth and In Q
similar manner loads, then pushing
his head into his hat to recover his
head. Despite his afaiction, Simon
has done some of che best shooting in
Bucks county the past year, his record
standing: Sixteen opossums, five
pheasants, five dozen blackbirds, thirty
seven rabbits and twenty-one quail.

cions, indeed, must be perfectly dor
mant Good cions, however, often do
better when inserted into wood after
growth is started than at any other
period. The trees to be operated on
might have been head down In autumn

ally employed the ordinary graft meth

on the amputated part (A) of the
stock, on the wound (E) at the juno
tion of the cion with the stock, and on
top of the cut cion (O). The terminal
bud (U) is not covered, nor the embed

successful as cleft grating and often

To avoid irregular splits in the bark,
q longitudinal incision CD may be
made in the bark. This will not only
facilitate the sliding of the cion (O),
but also permit the others to be at
case. After tying the crown of the

without another word but with just
mind-a thought so wild that at first
it arose only to be Set aside.
He sped into the hayloft and threw
himself down in paroxysm of anger
and despair. The cool air blew in
upon his hot cheeks, and the great
elms, their yellowing leaves one by one
beginning to lose their hold on the
branches, whispered in the autumn
breeze. The grass was still green, and
everything about the prosperous, we'll
kept farm was pleasant to look upon.
But Jim hated it. From the time of
the death of his parents, two years
before, he had made his home with
another branch of the family, in a
house full of rollicking boys and girls,
who received, perhaps, rather too
little than too much training. Then
circumstances had ordered that he
should go to Aunt James.
He had been received with kindness
which was not Intentionally cold.
Miss Preston desired to do her duty by
her orphan nephew. He was well
provided with all that boy belonging
in a well-to-do family should have.
But before he had been for week in
the big house on the big farm, Jim, if
he had been that kind of a boy, would
have cried his heart out with lonely
inconsistencies.
Not being that kind of boy, he
took refuge in things about him, MAX
ing friends with servants and animals,
soon liking and being liked by all ex-
cept Aunt Jane. She, cherishing q
belief that boys were prone to lido
ing and must be held down, did her
best to keep him repressed by her chill
manner.
He grew fairly to hate the measured
tone, sometimes indulging in willful
bit of mischief by way of finding re-
lief in rousing Aunt Jane to little
show of anger.
AS he, now lay in the hay, his whole
soul arose in rebellion quite foreign
to his naturally genial disposition.
With a little management Jim could
have developed frank and generous
good will which would have made him
most lovable inmate of any home.
II won't stand it," he cried to him
self. II hate Aunt Jane, and-she
hates'me. Yes, know it, She always
stops me in everything l want to do.
/ won't mind her. Ill-go to the fair
in spite of her!'
1t was a daring thought, but the
relish of it increased as he dwelt on It.
"Yes, l will I'll go, and I'll stay
all day. And I'll do everything l want
to do. If she'd been good about It and
ley me 60, "a have been good boy.

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

A LOSS of appetite and dropping
head are among the first indications OF
illness In the cow.
REMEMBER, it is the very best butter
that brings the highest price, not that
which is only average in quality.
WHILE wheat bran is good feed for
milk cows, it should always be fed
with stronger grain to secure the best
results.
IT is point in handling cream not to
allow it to become too sour, for the
butter takes and keeps the flavor OF
the cream.
To SECURE the best development with
q young heifer she should not be bred
for second calf until her first calf is
at least tour months old.
The temperature for churning, ac-
cording to the standard rule, is from
So to ca degrees, but different cream
often requires different temperature.
Cows THAT are imperfectly milked
from whatever cause, either careless
or imperfect milking from the fault of
the mixer, or from the difficult task
by reason of the anatomical construc-
ton of the udder, soon degenerate into
worthless animals.-Farmers Voice.

BENCH FOR COOLING MILK.

have it just wide enough to hold two
rows of cans, pals or whatever vessels
are used for cooling the milk. Make
it as you would the frame of an ordi-
nary homemade bench, putting in
one support running lengthwise, half
way between the two long pieces
which connect the legs. Crosswise
over this frame stretch heavy strong
wires about an inch apart and staple
them to the side pieces and also to the
center piece. Light, narrow strips OF
iron placed at regular intervals will
also answer the purpose. The two
rows of vessels will then be placed up
on metal having no chance to touch
the wooden frame and the air will
come in contact with all sides of them.
The bench must be kept in cool
place.-Orange Judd Farmer.

No. 33.
A BENEVOLENT BARON.
Hfs Big Winnings on the Turf Distributed
Among the Poor.

Rather more than year since, says
the London Telegraph, we gave q list
of the charitable donations bestowed
by Baron de Hirsch in 1898 upon the
hospitals, homes and benevolent insti-
tutions which he had selected as recip-
tents Of the large sums of money won
by him upon the turf In public stakes
in 1891 and 1892. In the first of these
years the baron won about s35, 900 and
in the second year about SITS, ZOO, In
sluding such small items as moneys
paid TO the second In selling races and
the prizes attaching to second and third
places in general races. Altogether
the sum amounted to about S210. 900,
and this munifcent gift represented
the baron's gross winnings in public
stakes, from which no deduction was
made for the expense of training large
stud of horses, for travelling charges,
forfeits, stakes, Jockeys fees and other
items comprised in the large and
swollen bills with which owners Of
race horses are but too familiar. 1t
was universally admitted that the for
tunate owner of the famous mare La
Fleche, by whom the greater portion
of the above named large sum wss
won, had displayed great generosity
in giving away all his winnings for
charitable purposes without subtract
ing his expenses. What Is to be said,
however, when, as in the present In
stance, the example set by the baron
in 1898 is not only followed but dupli-
Gated in 1894? During the racing sea-
son which close in November last
Baron de Hirsch's horses won in public
stakes about S37,500. This seemed to
him, and to the kindly almoner
through whom In both cases the
baron's bounty has flowed, to be
but a small sum for distribu-
tion IN comparison with the no
BILE contribution to London charities
made in the previous year. Under
these circumstances the baron re-
marked that, without establishing a
precedent, he had made up his mind to
double the sum that his gross winnings
amounted to in 1893, and accordingly
he drew check for $4,000, which he
handed to his friend for distribution.
1t was his wish that this sum should be
divided among London hospitals and
charitable institutions, and 500, 500 was
thus disposed of, the balance remain
ing having been reserved for sundry
smaller calls.

Tramplna for o Purpose.

An amusing story is told of the late
Prof. Henry Morley. Some years ago
when the stunning" boom was occu-
pying general attention he was ae-
costed one day by peculiarly emaoiat
ed and ragged individual, who solicited
aid in moving terms. Prot. Morley,
who was never proof against such pc
titions, responded with silver coin,
'Thank you, Prof. MorleyI I'm much
obliged" said the man. "You know
me, eh?" 'Yes, l attended your Leo
lures at Kings College in 1s60." Dear,
dear, I'm sorry to see you in this state" :"

on the rope would take away the last
chance for the boys life.
At that moment there fell upon jim s
ear familiar voice, raised to pierre
ing cry.
Its my boy! Mine-mine! Let him
down! Give him to me-"
And for one moment his terror
stricken glance fell upon Aunt James
face-not cold and forbidding, but
strained in an agony of tender fear
With a scream of fright his eyes met
hers in a frantic appeal for help-the
help he knew she could not give.
The chorus of excited voices mingled
in hollow roar, then died in silence
as Jim went up-up-still struggling
with that cruel rope. At last he got
1t around one arm, then another,
loosening that choking pressure about
his throat. Another passing of the
rope about his arms, each one attended
with fearful effort. The blood rushed
to his head. There was a blackness
before his eyes and roaring in his
ears.
