the horse is very liable to get his foot
over the traces, or else the driver has to
carry the whiffletree when the horse is
turned round. In some cases the whiffle-
tree is tied up to the breeching, but this
method is liable to make nasty sore
ON the horse just above the hook. An
Improvement over either Of these plans
is to obtain two three-eighth inch iron
rods as traces. These are hooked on to
ordinary plow harness hooks at the
names and hang in tug bearers from the
breeching Holes are made in the other
ends of the rods, into which the whiffle-
tree hooks.
The sketch reproduced from the Cana
dian Live Stock Journal enables the
method to be understood: A, A, is the
iron rod in position; B the tug bearer,
with pad at B to prevent chatting with
the weight, @ the whiffletree in position,
allowing the horse to move quickly and
freely without risk Of chatting or getting
his legs over the traces. With this con
trivance a boy can ride the horse and
save man. The cost Of the traces IL
| trifling.

MccIure's Magazine For October.

One would scarcely expect the story Of
the making of q pair of equestrian statues
of Lincoln and Grant to be as interesting
as piece OF fiction; but this 1t truly
proves to be in McClures Magazine for
October, where Mr.. Cleveland Moffett de-
scribes the long and patient labors of the
artist of the artists o. Donovan and Eak-
ins, first in the collection and study of
documents and the discovery of suitable
living models for horse and rider, and
then in the actual modelling of the life
size statues lately completed by them for
the Brooklyn memorial arch. A descrip-
tion is also given Of the work Of the
founders in casting the models in bronze /;
and succession of pictures, from special
photographs, exhibits the entire operation
! of modelling ard casting, from the very
beginning down to the finished bronze
casts. A granddaughter of the poet
Keats, Mr.. John Gilmer Speed takes note
in the same number, Of the centenary Of
the poets birth, in paper written from
original letters and manuscripts in his
possession. He presents Keats in a new,
and what one feels Is a much truer light
than some of the biographers have shown
him in. The paper is illustrated with

A new INDUSTRY.
Good Prospects of Locating the TOOmey
Carriage Works Here.

The Board of Trade Offers Free Site
and $4,000 In Cash-The Building
will Cost $4,000.
The Board Of Trade met last night to
consider the proposed removal of the
Toomey carriage works from Canal Dover
TO this city. The company asked free
site, and 50, 600 in cash. 1t was decided
to offer the site and 81, 500. If the reply
is favorable, the work of raising the
81, 500 will be commenced at oIce. The
company employs forty skilled workmen,
and proposes to erect a building l20xl4O
feet. The main building will be four
stories high, and the two wings three
stories. The structure will cost about
Sl2, 1000. The site which the Board OF
Trade will donate is on Clarendon ave-
nue., midway between West Tusarawas

tion and safety. A diagram shows tho
box erected over trap in the well floor.
This box is 4 - feet high by az wide
and 20 inches in depth, made Of inch
boards, with scantling two inches square
In the corners to strengthen it, The
windlass is of pine inches in diameter,
with three-quarters Of an inch iron
spindles in the end. One spindle has
ratchet, inches in diameter, fastened
on the crank end. The spindles are of
round iron, squared and pointed at one
end, and driven in the auger hole of
slightly less size. The iron crank of the
same size is Of one piece, bent into shape
and squared where it passes into the
ratchet disk.
Three feet above the water is fastened
into the wall of the we'll locust sill
by 4, to which are fastened two No 10
galvanized wires, at the proper distance
apart. A crosspiece is fastened just un-
der the windlass and few inches from
the center to let the rope pass freely
The wires pass through holes in this
piece and are drawn up very tightly, so
as to keep the descending cage or box
steady. The lower stick must be placed
parallel with the top one The cage has
two screw eyes ON each side, 10 inches
apart, through which the wires pass
The cage containing the articles may
be let down and let rest ON the cross
stick, or if the water should rise in the
well it may be held at any point by
means of the ratchet and clamp. If
there is pump in the well, it may be
placed to one side against the wall. The
rope is fastened so as to be in the center
when the box is up. With the above dia-
grams, any carpenter can easily erect
one, and if he is at all bright can do so
without diagram.
