The republican advocates OF traao
restriction pretend that a return to the
Mckinley tariff is necessary in order
a. secure more revenue. They forget
that the avowed object of the tar'h OF
1890 was TO cut down customs receipts
its title being: IAN Act to Reduce the
Revenue" Six years ago Mckinley
ism meant n high tariff wall which
would shut out foreign goods and thus
nut less money in the treasury. NOW
the protcctionists say Mck'nlcyism
means higher duties in order ihat more
money will be raised for public ex.
penses. II the Mckinley law reduced
the revenue in 1893 and 1894 how will

She sat in front of me and 1 found my
self spelling out her personality from her
hat. 1t was a straw hat. whose crown
she had evidently considered not strictly
en- regle for she had covered it with a
piece of changeable silk. The silk was
rather dark, for a summer hat, but no
doubt she would have explained at was
piece she had in the house and she
thought it would do

prompts liberal minds to inquire, do
what?" In this case its doing" was to
conceal the hight and depth and shape of
the condemned hat crown.
Yet the color remained a haunting shade
of red and green and other changing hues.
The owner of the hat had tried TO lift its
somberness by laying on large loops of
white ribbon, not creamy-White ribbon,
but dead white ribbon of that peculiar
shade which suggests that a ribbon has
been washed and ironed with the same
conscienuousness of effort and simplicity
Of method that might have been used in
the treatment of kitchen towel.
In these stiffiy ironed, distorted and al
together pathetic looking bows of white
ribbon was story OF thwarted hops and
insistent ambition. This latter was
hat of some very cheap black plumes that
in their dearth of curl suggested nothing
so much as a succession of half-worn
feather busters. The changeable silk
crown, the straw brim, the bows of white
ribbon and the black plumes and steel
buckles made altogether combination
suggesting the old adage, Necessity
knows no law"
There was certainly no expression Of
law and order in this hat. 1t was an un-
mistakable manifestation of chaos.
1t suggested the man whose wife said
How do you like my new gown? 1 de-
signed 1t myself" And who replied, did
you design it? I should have fancied it
came by accident"
A woman's hat is the keynote to her
character. She may repress, conceal or
disguise herself in other articles of wear
ing apparel, but in her hat she makes in
voluntary confession of purposes, tastes
and limitations that she is prone to fan
cy lie concealed in the recesses of her own
hidden personality. She may decide that

If the facing is of stone, two blanks must ba c'riyen into the bed ef tine stream, one on each side against tho stone facing; aud cleats, consisting of strips of wood, must be nailed to them. Between these the gate, consisting of piece of board, slides up and down. Itis fastened at the required height by a peg in the cross piece as shown in figure. If we'll made, it will leak but little; although 1t is not of much consequence if it does, for the water will accumulate behind it faster than it can leak out. hadeed. care must be taken not to have the door fit too snugiy in the cleats. for tue wood swclls in soaking, and it may fit too tightly to work well. Unless a waste way is constructed, the gate should be raised every night to allow the water to escape, or it will accumulate and pour over the dam, and wash away the earth.
 From the top of the dam, or the level at which the water should stand be- hind it, a race, consisting of trough or pipe, should project; from this the water spouts upon the water wheel when you set it up and makes itrevoIve. There are several kinds of water

Tenaperaturo of Seed Germination.

Late experiments at one of the Cana dian agricultural experimental stations proves that the different seeds germi- nate at various temperatures, varying with the species and the amount of moisture present. Some seeds, it is found, would sprout when the tempera- ture of the soil was constantly kept at the freezing point. This was true of the seed of white mustard, which ger minated at temperature of 30 degrees Fahrenheit. Indian corn germinated at temperature of 48 degrees, water melon seed at 63 degrees and tripoleum ripens at 42 degrees. It was also found that different seeds germinate between certain limits of temperature, the great CT part of these experimeEted upon not germinating at all if the temperature was kept above S3 degrees.

 Yes, I know all about brooks and the various uses to which they may be put by clever youngster. One of the most distressing of these (togrown mp follls) and therefore most delightful to the boy) is to drive the "rattanplap,' or clatter-mill, to which I have already made reference. For, you see, the little machine keeps up an astonishing racket. night and day, and soon becomes a topic of interest throughout the neighbor hood and elieits much interesting com ment from quiet people who want to rest. They must be very dull those people who want to rest when there is so much to do; and, for my own part, I still have so much of the boy left in me that I can't resist showing you how to teach the brook to wake them up. About all the material you need is a good jacknife and a few pine shingles.
 The first thing, of course, is 10 build dam. It is great sport to build dams. Children take to it as naturally as beav- CTS, but do not go to work quite as scientifcally-thou the beaver, con- trary, perhaps, to what your school books would have you believe, is not at all an intelligent animal. I have known individuals of the species personally and intimately, and can testify to this fact; but the beaver does not know how a dam should be built. To begin with, if beaver were writing to you, he would tell you not to build your dam straight across the stream from shore to shore, but more or less rounded out, though it need not form a regular curve; and he would warn you against constructing it with the convex side, or bulge, down stream, but to bend
