"set" for "sit" and clay" for Gle"
These are very common errors of
speech, and when you once get into
the habit of using them it is hard to
break up, like all bad habits. You
can "lie" down, but you must "lay"
your coat down. You can "sit"
down, but you must "set" your hat

HANDCART EXPERIENCE.
Continued.

We were now between two
and three hundred miles on
our journey and our very hard
work gave us keen appetites and
we had used up a good deal more
of our provisions than the distance
we had travelled justified, and al
though our provisions was rationed
out to us, yet we had our minds
set that we would make the journey
in much less time than we had
provisions for, as we had 20 pounds
Of -four for each person, which was
one pound a day for ten weeks.
When we would receive four
days rations, some would eat it in
two days and then plead for more,
and we all know that no man with
o soul in him could deny them, SO
they would get little more, and
in all this we had little merri-
ment. We had with us some young
men who had worked on farms in
England and were large over
grown fellows, with keen appetites,
who would eat the most Of their
-four as a rule in half the time, and
then they would say they would
make starch to stick their ribs to-
gether, but this soon ended, as it
became too serious to be fun any
longer, fol we all had to make
our rations hold out it's time, and
thus we began to suffer, by the
time we were, between three and
four hundred miles on our Journey
and we could not hunt as every
one had to pull his cart, and we
had four persons to q cart, and
myself and wife, two small child
rem, one only three months old,
and the other under two years of
age, when we started on the plains,
thus we had only two of us to pull
our cart, and we had very hard
time to pull it and our two child
rem, but the Lord blessed us thus
far remarkably, and now when our
provisions was very short as we
were travelling along / saw sheep
some distance from the road.

A Good Cement.

An excellent cement for mending al
most anything may be made by mixing
together litharge and glycerine to the
consistency of thick cream or fresh put
ty. The cement is useful in mending
stone jars or any coarse earthenware,
stopping leaks in seams Of tin pans or
wash boilers, cracks and holes in iron
kettles, etc. 1t may also be used to
fasten on lamp tops, or tighten loose
nuts, to secure loose bolts whose nuts
are lost, to tighten loose joints Of wood
or iron, or in many other ways about
the various kitchen utensils, the range,
sink and in the pantry fittings. In all
cases the article mended should not be
used until the cement has hardened,
which will require from one day to a
week, according to the quantity of ce-
ment used. This cement will resist the
action of water, hot or cold, acids, and
almost any degree of heat.

Where several silos are desired, or
where two kinds of silage are to be
stored so as to be fed at any time, one
large silo with one or more partitions
will be cheaper than separate silos. In
the illustration shown herewith will be
seen how a partition may be put in 4
round silo. By running a second par
tition at right angles to the first the
silo may be divided into four pits, but it
is always best to avoid partitions when
possible to do So If a partition is made
it should be alright, but if the filling
takes place on both sides at the same
time, it need not be as strong. In the
round silo the partition should be put
in after the lining. To make the par
tition, two thicknesses of inch boards
with paper between may be used. These
should be nailed to studding made out
Of 6x6's sawed in two diagonally, using
two pieces at each end of the partition,
placed so that the sawed face fills the
corner formed by the partition. With
the intermediate studs the boards
should be nailed to the sawed or wide
side, so as to avoid forming square cor
ners. If a rectangular silo is built.
then two layers of matched fencing
with tar paper between should be used
for the lining. To lessen the spelling
of silage at the corners, these should be
cut off with one layer of inch boards
about 10 inches long. This should then
be lined with roofing tin soldered to-
gether into a strip long enough to reach
from near the top to the bottom, and
wide enough to nail to the lining and to
completely cover the two ends of the
short boards by as much as two inches

Obituary Notices of Gail Hamilton Were
Not VoluIninous.
A great many people noted with sur
prise the small amount of biographical
matter printed about Gail Hamilton
ut the time of her death. AS a fact,
very few newspapers had any extended
obituary on file, and it was difficult to
obtain the necessary material. The rea-
son for this can be explained by an eX-
tract from a hitherto unpublished let
ter of Miss Dodge, written by her to
Il Boston acquaintance when the latter,
in fulfilling his duties as newspaper cor
respondent, wrote to her for brief
history of her life These were her
words in reply, says the Critic Lounger:

terial for "a sketch of my life for publ

A Divorced Pair Meet.

Walter l.. Sim, son of Colonel Sim,
the well-known theatrical manager,
was buried from Plymouth Church yes
terday. At the conclusion of the serv-
ices the lid was removed from the cas-
ket and the large audience filed past
the remains, taking a last look at the
face which had been so familiar to
them for many years. Then pretty,
pathetic incident occurred. Colonel
Sim took the arm of his wife, from
whom he has been divorced for num-
Der Of years, and leaned over the cas-
ket. She looked at the face Of her dead
son and then up to that of her husband.
There seemed to be an understanding
in the look. He placed his arm in hers
and led her down the aisle, following
the casket. There was scarcely a dry
eye in the large church. Every one
noticed the incident, and with a COM
mon impulse it occurred to all alike
that it meant a reconciliation, an act
that would be hailed with joy by the
many friends Of both. Pittsburg Dis

A HANDY HAY HOOK.

wrought iron hook presented in the IL
lustration will enable a man to handle
baled hay with much greater ease. The
bale to be lifted should be stood on one
end, then lean the upper end against
you and reach over and place the hook
near the other end and bring it up per-
pendicularly and then the whole bale
may be easily handled. The hook
should be made Of 3-8 inch round iron,
with a loop for good grasp by the
hand and may be drawn out smaller at
the other end.-Farm and Home.

plan to take out the lard while the pigs

THE USEFUL WASP.

to 500 Flies in Twenty Minutes.

A Swarm of Them Seen to Kill from
to 500 Flies in Twenty Minutes.
BY common agreement the wasp is ac-
cepted as emblematical OF irritability and
petty malignity; but even this much
abused hymenopterous insect plays a
beneficial part in the work of nature.
A number of wasps were seen by r.
NJ. Darlington. an Irish naturalist. buzz
ling about his cows. Closer inspection
revealed that they were all busy catching
flies. and bouncing with the rapidity of
hawks after birds on the flies as they
tried to settle or rest on some favorite
mart Of the COW. One white COW drew
more wasps than any of the others, be-
cause the moment a fly alighted it was
seen at once against the skin. When a
wasp catches n fly it Immediately bites
off both wings, sometimes leg or two,
and occasionally the head.
Mr. Darlington saw some of the wasps
when laden with one fly catch another,
without letting go the first. and then fly
away with both. There was constant
stream of wasps carrying away flies.
probably to feed the larvae in their nests,
and returning again to the cows to catch
more. In about twenty minutes Mr..
Darlington estimated that between 300
and 400 flies were caught on two cows
lying close to where he stood. Perhaps
this narrative of good deeds accomplished
will lead people to think more leniently
of the vices of the wasp.

Selecting Seed Corn.

Selection Of seed corn and it's care
afterwards are Of much more import
ance than many realize, until bitter dis
appointment faces them with perhaps
one-third of a stand, and then it is too
late to recover for the year And still
farmers go right on and do the same
thing another year. A careful and
painstaking farmer who makes sue
cess of all his farm operations says up
on the subject:
while always go into the field and
select early at least part of the seed,
1 do not plant such selection unless /
have failed at husking time to gather
such as l desire. l can select just the
size and shape that seems best to my
mind at that time and l cure it in the
chamber over my kitchen stove and
leave it there until wanted in the ear.
l would not shell any did not use for
the year, and during my entire life
have never so saved corn that SO per
cent. would not grow, and seldom ever
fails even at three years old. While
the early ripening will always. grow
and will make very early corn, after a
number of years of such saving / am
satisfied that variety grows small by SO
doing. prefer to sow the largest and
best of it's kind. At husking time,
either from stalk or shock one can make
the selection. Leave enough husk on
the ear and throw to one side of the
wagon and in this way the corn can be
selected with little or no hindrance, un-
less there has been a very hard freez-
ing with corn damp there is very little
danger of its not growing if properly
cared for after picking"

Wife of Minister is Getting Wealthy

Gold nuggets have often been found in
the gizzards of British Columbia chick
cns-at least stories to that effect have
been circulated-but heretofore there has
been a vagueness about the stories in
their chief particulars. No one saw the
nugget in the gizzard of the chicken or
ever heard of the alleged man who told
the story, but now there is a brand new
gold nugget gizzard anecdote at hand,
and this time the authoress is a we'll

both ungallant and disrespectful to ques-
ton the truth of the statement.

October she killed a siX-months-old duck
that had been raised in the parsonage
yard, and when dressing it was aston

the value of about $50, in its gizzard.
Last New Years, Mrs. Green AYERS,

New Way to Make Copper Piping.

A process is being tried in England
for depositing copper electroytically in
the form of sheets and tubes direct from
the matte or precipitate. The essence
of the invention is in the method of maxi
ing the deposit homogeneous. In the
usual process, says the Engineering and
Mining Journal, this is sought to be
done by continual polishing with agate,
but this method is not success. In the
process now being tried body impreg-
mated with Il greasy matter is so placed
that if any irregularities occur in the
deposition of the metal. the projecting
portions touch the greasy body and
thereby become covered with grease
thus continuing the deposition TO the hol-
low portions. When the surface becomes
level again the grease is automatically
rubbed off. SO little pressure is put on
the surface that Elimination does not oc-
eur. and tests for strength show break
ing stress of $4,000 to 1900 pounds per
square inch. with an elongation of 10 to
20 per cent. which are very high figures.
