who came twice q day and cared for the
premises when he was absent. No in
vitation had wheedleGl him out Of his
solitude, and he had never noticed any
of the sixteen-year-old girls who were
to succeed Mrs. Kester. All oyerturcs
of sympathy and respect were put
aside, and it looked as if the most eligi-
BILE widower in Green county was to
remain widower to the end of his
days.
Robert Kester owned q good horse,
which he drove to a covered buggy, in
which he and his late wife had explored
every nook and corner of the town III
which they lived, and much of the sur
rounding country.
After his wife's death he occupied
the buggy alone. twas theone pleasure
he allowed himself and he drove more
frequently than anywhere else to the
cemetery in which she reposed. He
went there at all hours, but no ono
could say whether thrift or sentiment
took him there. The lot was kept like
her flower garden at home, and no other
hand but his touched it. So the specta-
Gle of Roberts horse hitched to the
palings caused no surprise. Coming or
going, he always carried some tribute
of remembrance and affection.
Several times he had observed anoth-
er who visited lot near his own. He
knew her as poor lonely widow,
whose husband and two children slept
there. Her silent, shrinking move
ments, her grief, and the fact that slln
was far along the troubled pathway OF
life, gave her q transient interest,
and one day when a storm was ap-
preaching he offered her seat in his
carriage. Such unwonted kindness
quite upset her, and she was silent and
Respondent during the ride home. She
had known Mrs. Kester and included
her In few grateful words she said,
In such way as to please Robert much.
Praise of his wife had always been all
open way to his esteem.
But the widow went no more to tho
cemetery. There were several reasons
for this. First, the days were growing
cold, and she dreaded rheumatism.
Then she did not want that good man,
Robert Hester, to think that she was
lying in wait for him. And, too, she had
accepted home with a family = q
cross, disagreeable man and his prim
wife-where in consideration of three
meals day and lodging, she was to act
as housekeeper where no servant was
kept. Her property had been taken

Best Use Of the Needle.
On Monday wash my dolls clothes,
On Tuesday smoothly press en-
On Wednesday mem their little hose
On Thursday neatly dress 'em.
As child Wednesday was my bette
noir, for not only was obliged to mend
my dolly's Clothes" but my own as
well, to say nothing of darning for the
boys.
Remember in later years the old adj
age that misery loves company" I
'ave always done my mending and darn
ing in company with two or three
matrons of my immediate neighbor-
hood, meeting at each others houses on
Wednesday afternoon, so that I have
come to enjoy it.
Now workman is worthy of his
tools-and good tools, too-so you will
do well to lay in an outfit comprising
good sharp scissors and shears,
needles, long and short and of all de-
grees of fneness, spool silk and silk
twist, with strong, smooth linen thread,
u piece Of wax, an emery, strong sew
ing cotton, fine twilled binding tape
of various widths and buttons of pearl,
linen, agate, bone and metal.
There is a lust how even in sewing
on n shoe button. Use stout linen
thread, No. needle, wax the thread,
and, although you double it, knot only
one end of the thread to avoid clumsy
knot which might hurt the foot; take
three stitches to each button, fasten
with an extra stitch in the lining of
the shoe and go to the next button with
out cutting the thread.
The double knees and heels of the
hosiery of to-day are boon to mothers.
but they will not altogether do away
with the necessity Of darning. You can,
however, save a great deal of labor of
this kind by teaching your family to
lay aside socks and hose as soon as the
tiniest hole begins to show itself; then,
after the wash, if you will run the
article for half an inch on either side of
the hole or weak place, of course darn
ing the former, there will be no danger
of one of those gaping apertures which
lead uneconomical housewives to ex-
claim: It will be cheaper to buy new
ones than to darn that pair!''
One of the thriftiest of my women
friends lines the new. stockings of her
children on the inner side of the soles
and heels with thin, soft pieces of mus
lin, for which she has an exact paper
pattern cut, sewing it in firmly. This,
she claims, saves much darning.
Sheets that have grown weak in the
middle should be torn in two, the outer
edges sewn together on the machine
and the sides hemmed, when they will
still do good service for considerable
time. It does not pay to mend pillow
cases. That labor is thing Of the past,
when linen and cotton cloth was bet
ter worth mending. st. Louis Republic.

In order to gain some idea Of the

engineers must exercise ceaseless

all attempts at ventilation, the heat
down there seems sitting at first by
contrast with the pleasant breeze on

bewildering. Even when all this ma
chinery is at rest, one would shrink
from an attempt to count its many
parts. Tho valves alone and the means OF
controlling them would battle enumer.

tangled network remains on ones
mind as the result of prolonged con-
temptation. The bewilderment is in

parts are revolving or gliding to and
fro like shuttles In weaver's loom, SO
rapidly that the eye can not follow
their movement. How it is possible for
anybody to localize mishap that oc-
ours in the midst of so much whirl Is
mystery to the uninitiated, and not
easily explained even by tho engineers
themselves. They have to be guided
mostly by sound, occasionally by sight,
and sometimes by smell. Every piece

and the smaller the pulley the better.
Usually most machines haveAa shaft
about or 10 inches to which this pulley
about 8 or 10 inches to which this pulley
is attached at one end and crank
wheel at the needle end. This shaft
and it's equipments can be removed
from the arm and used for the shaft on
which the arms for the buckets and bot
ties are to be attached.
A table or stand of some kind must be
provided as a foundation upon which to
construct the machine. Often the
stand of the old sewing machine will
answer quite well by screwing on q
piece of Finch plank under the top,
about 3 feet in length, extending out on
one side sufficient length to attach the
fly wheel, rs indicated by the dotted
lines in cut. Any old table that is s1s
feet long makes frst-rate pedestal.
The arms A are made from ~ inch
galvanized strap iron, foot long, and
riveted to the crank plate on the shaft
with two holes at c, drilled in each end,
on which the buckets are hung from
wire hooks soldered into tho buckets.
The latter are inches in height and 1A
inches in diameter.
{ Sometimes the bearings of the shaft
can be utilized In hanging it in an up
right position, plumbed and made to
run true. The pulley wheel is located
at the table where the shaft passes
through, allowing the shaft to extend
nearly 6 inches above the stand and suf-
icient distance below to get steady
motion, either In iron or wooden bear
ings.
