MIR. Small claims that horse may be
more readily controlled from the new
location of the seat than when the driver
sat back of and trifie lower than the
horse. This advantage is gained by the
leverage at the terrets, which are at
ftached to the breastplate instead of the
girth. An attachment there also secures
the check, entirely doing away with the
water hook and it's incident danger in
the event of the driver being unseated
The drivers feet rest in holders opposite
the shoulder where the heel plate is
noticed under the shaft.

The Market Place.

There is no doubt that the protection
which used to be accorded to the market
place from the earliest barbarian times has
played an important though not an exclu-
sive part in the emancipation of the me.
dieval city. The early barbarians knew
no trade within their village communities.
They traded with strangers only, at GER
tain definite spots, on certain determined
days, and in order that the stran ger might
come to the barter place without risk OF
being slain for some feud which might be
running between two kins the market was
always placed under the special protection
of all kins. Itwas inviolable, like the
place of worship under the shadow OF
which it was held
With the Kabyles it is still annaya, like
the footpath along which women carry
water from the well. Neither must be trod-
den upon in arms, even during intertribal
wars. In medieval times the market uni
versally enjoyed the same protection. No
feud could be prosecuted On the place
whereto people come to trade, nor within
certain radius from it, and If quarrel
arose in the motley crowd of buyers and
sellers it had to be brought before those
under whose protection the market stood
the oommunity's tribunal, or the
bishops, the lords or the kings judge.
A stranger who came to trade was a
guest, and he went on under this very
name. Even the lord who had no scruples
about robbing merchant on the high
road respected the welchbild-that is, the
pole which stood in the market place and
bore either the kings arms, or glove, or
the image Of the local saint or simply u
cross, according to whether the market
was under the protection of the king, the
lord, the local church or the folkmote-

774-FARRINGDON CIRCLE SKIRT.
Sizes. Medium and Large.

Tbs graceful skirt is in circle shape, which
adapts itself SO readily and gracefully to
the ripple effect that is still the most
popular style for double-width goods. and
also for narrow materials when the piec-
ings will not be too conspicuous. This skirt
has sweep of about four and II half yards,
and is not quite SO plain at the top, the back
being laid in two deep plai1s on each side
turned toward the middle. Tastes differ as
to the pIopriety of using stiff facing or in
teTlining in skirts. but the approved finish
for the bottom is still the cord or candle
wicking covered with velvet

about the pattern will be found on tie en-

NEW BIKE SULKY.
A Connecticut Yankee Inveuts Machine
Which may Bring the Two-Minute
Trotter.

1t has been known for year or more
past that Henry Small, of Hartford,
Conn, the well known contractor and
bullder-and an admirer of the trotting
horse as well-had ideas of his own as
to the construction of a sulky that
would relieve the horse of much of the
usual draft, at the same time leaving
the animal more nearly as nature de-
signed him-With absolute freedom of
limb and wind, two important factors in
flights hgainst time. The artist of the
Hartford Courant reproduces herewith
the elimination of Mr.. Sma1l's years

their opinion upon the merits of the
invention, although 1t will req uire actual

THE HOME.
For the Boys.


The idea that anything is good enough
for boy housekeepers should eliminate
from their minds, writes wise mother.
Any thing is not good enough for boy.
10 be trained into refined habits boys
need refining influences. And mother
can do much towards moulding the bent
of her young sons mind by suitably fur
nisning and decorating his room. rack
for books with his pet volumes upon it,
a few good pictures and such appliances
for physical comfort and cleanliness as
the young human animals need to keeE
them lick cd into shape, ought to be in
the room of every hoy. Boys belonging
to any but wealthy families must clean
their own boots, brush their own clothes
and look after their toilet appliances
themselves. Let all boys be provided
with necessary means for doing this. Let
them have their backing boxes in con-
venient receptacle. And give them plenty
of whisk brooms.
A set of shelves over the washstand on
which is placed small bottle OF
ammonia, eau de cologne, pumice stone
and a bowl of yellow meal will aid boy
in keeping his hands in presentable con-
dition. A IL the little habits of cleanli-
ness have doubtless been acquired in a
nursery before boy is old enough to
aspire to the dignity of a room. Yet
some Of the neat ways will not be kept
up by many boys unless their surround
ings are favorable.
A boy usually takes much pride in a
nice room. He enjoys cleanliness and
order, and lis not one whit behind his
sister i'll the appreciation of artistic sur
roundings. Therefore by all means let
him have them. IN. E. Farmer.
The Gala Lily.
About this time begin to force the
callas, writes Kesiah Shelton in the New
England Farmer. Country people can
get ealla fertilizer that is better than
any "plant food" for them; city people
must e'en do with makeshitts Pour a
gallon of boiling water ON two quarts OF
old COW manure, and set the same away
in the shed for use during the forcing
period. For one large Gala use weekly
one-half pint of this fertilizing liquid,
putting the same into quart of water;
if put on undiluted it strikes the roots
too strongly. A Gala, being an aquatic
plant. absorbs, if in large pot, some
times two quarts OF warter daily, and it
should never be given cold, but as warm
as it may be and not scald the plant. A
calla has never had all the water that it
could use to advantage until it basLdrunk
so that by suction upward through its
stalk there hangs drop of water like
bead of dew at the point of each leaf
If one can arrange it SO, the best way is
to set the common earthern pot with a
hole in the bottom tor good drainage into
an unleakable jar or tub a good deal
larger than the pot; then into this outer
jar pour daily quarts of hot water-as
hot as one can bear the finger in; if this
is done, one need only put small guam

For all Glasses of Exhibitors at the West
Virginia State Fair

The enlargement of the grounds OF the
West Virginia State Fair Association, on
Wheeling Island, by the addition of seven
acres of land, and the entire resulting
change in the arrangement of the
grounds, has resulted in largely increased
and very superior accommodations for all
classes of exhibitors. particularly ~ 10
class horses, 1--we stock and poultry.
Nearly all the old sheds pens and stables
were torn away. and the entire live stock
and poultry display has been removed
to the neWly-acQuired territory, whore
the new buildings are compactly arranged
and afford the best of accommodations
for exhibitors, while greatly facilitating
a careful examination of the display by
visitors. This change in the location OF
the buildings mentioned has given the
management room for walks, broad ave-
nues for vehicles, shady hooks furnished
with benches for those fatgued with the
ceaseless round of sightseeing, and many
other improvements which will be greatly
appreciated by the public.
The grounds have been transformed, IN
fact from end TO end, and save for the IA
miliar appearance Of a small space near
the main gate Will hardly be recoBnized
