VIII attend these services. Concern
ing his visit the Oregonian says:
Two years ago Trinity Episcopal
church of this city, was favored with
brief visit from Archdeacon Percy
G. Webber, of Boston. Since that
chance visit of Mr.. webber. there has
been, on the part Of all who were for
tunate enough 10 hear his intensely in
teresting address made to the children
Of Trinity Sunday school at their
Christmas festival, a very earnest de-
sire to hear from him further. This
desire so long entertained seems at

Through the efforts of the Kings
Daughters and the Brotherhood of st.
Andrew. Mr.. webber as been induced
to come to Portland and hold six
days mission in Trinity church. This
mission will begin Sunday morning.
April %. and end probably on Friday
evening, April 80. Services will be held
every day at II a. m, p. m. and s

webber at all services. except on the
evening OF Sunday, April 25, when he

venient hours, the capacity Of the
churches. His most recent effort was a
series of ten monday services for

CARVED IN CHEESE.
Queer Bridal Custom Obtaining in
Some Parts of Switzerland.

One of the most peculiar bridal or mar
riage custom known is one that has pre-,
vailed for centuries in what is called the
cheese regions" of Switzerland. In
that portion of the Alpine country,
when pair join III wedlocl, it is the
fashion for their intimate friends to
buy a register cheese" for the young
couple. This is presented to the newly
welded people on the evening of the
wedding day, and it is ever after retained
by them and used as family register.
On these heirloom cheeses the whole
history of the family is carved, such as
births, marriages, deaths, and other in
cidents which it may be desired to
make matters of record. Some of these
old Swiss family cheese records are said
20 date back to the middle of the seven
teenth century.
Al the agricultural fair annually held
at Gessenay great many cheese regis
tors have been exhibited which were
known to be from $50 to 200 years old.
The oldest that has yet been displayed
belongs to country squire living near
Gessenay, who shows his family record
carved on cheese made in 16G0.-N. Y.
Weekly.

BOYS WORKBENCH.
Follow This Plan md You viii &c
Very Good One,

FOLLOW This Plan md You Will Get
Very Good One.
One of the most indispensable things
for the boy who likes carpentry and
wishes to do really good work is a good
bench on which to work.
1t must be substantially made, should
be provided with a planning stop, a
wise, and a drawer in which to keep
screws, nails and small tools. Such
q bench may easily be constructed by
the boy himself, provided he knows
just what to do. If he works without
a definite and correct plan, however,
much time and material may be wasted
with a very unsatisfactory result. Sim
pie as the task appears, there are many
veXatious little mistakes which boy
is almost sure to make if left wholly to
his own devices.
To begin with, it is necessary to OBJ
tain four spruce sticks about three
inches square, sc inches long, planed
on all sides, for the legs; then get
two pieces of clear pine or whitewood
three feet long and six or eight inches
wide, and two more the same length
three inches wide. These pieces should
be rs inches in thickness and planed
on all sides.
Lay two of the legs three feet apart
on a smooth floor, and with screws join
the ends by means of wide strip. Six
inches up from the free ends mark with
u lead pencil where the narrow strip
would lie, and cut laps in the legs with
q saw and chisel so that the narrow
strip will fit tightly in them. Screw
this fast also, and as a result one of the
end supports will be finished and will
appear as shown in Fig. l. Fasten the
other two pieces in a similar manner.
Then take two pieces of clear pine
five feet long, eight inches wide and
lseven-eighths of an inch in thickness;
these are for the sides, or aprons, and
must be securely screwed to the upper
end of each leg. Make holes ten inches

At the Iowa station it was found that
turnips injure the flavor of both milk
and butter. This injury is due to vola-
tile acids, which can be driven off by
heating the milk to 100 degrees for a
short time. Beets increased the milk
and butter product, and caused all the
cows, even Jerseys to lay on fat quite
rapidly. When the roots were discon-
tinued butter fat decreased and the
cows ceased to gain weight, and it tool;
more pounds of feed calculated to dry

When turned on pasture there was i'm

live weight. Feeding bran during part
of the grazing period produced su1il-
Gent gain to yield a small profit.

times. I don't take any stock in any
of it. The roads are good enough for
me. l don't want to be called upon
to help make them any better"
I'VE differ. | take deep interest in
the good roads discussion. The roads
are not good enough for me. 1 want
to help make them better. If we had
good roads the past 90 years l would
not now be paying you interest on this
mortgage on my farm"
Talk sense, man. Has this good
roads agitation turned your head, too.
You talk just as two or three of your
, neighbors do"
Thank you; I'm glad to hear it.
1t is sign that they, too, have been
doing some thinking"
How would good roads have bettered
your condition?'
81 cannot take time to tell you all of
the ways in which they would have
helped me. Here are few of the ways:
l have owned this farm for 25 years.
For IS years it has been good farm for
you. l have paid you interest enough to
have sent my son and daughter through
| college. You ask what that has to do
about good roads. 1t has this to do:
have figured that if we had maintained
system of good roads it would have
cost me half as much to market my
| products. 1t would have been done with
half of the teams, half of the hired men,
| less than half of the cost in wagons. The
| wagons | have wrecked on our bad roads
| the past % years cost me, when new,
| 81 40. Some of them might have failed
on good roads, but it is safe to say that
my loss on wagons alone was $1,000
more than it would have been on rea-
sonably good roads. l figure that the
| extra teams and their living, cost me
$4,000, and the hired help-more than
| would have had if the roads had been
such as that paper tells about-has
cost me $4,000 Every man of mature
| judgment ought to know that if we
| had good roads about here, and especial
| ~ between here and the cities to the
right and left, where most of our prod
ucts are marketed, and where we do
most of our trading, and in one of which
we attend church, and where our sons
and daughters go to high school, this
/ farm would be worth double what it is
now, and | call it worth $4,000 at pres
ent. That is $4,000 more that would
have been added to my savings by good
roads. That makes my loss over $751;
| 600, good deal more than | am worth
to-day. My bright boy and girl must go
without the college education 1 had
| hoped to give them and could have given
! if had had the benefits to be derived
| from good roads. l see why you do not
want a change. Your business as a
money-lender would end with an era of
| good roads. Farmers would save
enough Ivy them to become bank de-
positors instead of borrowers. I'm anx-
iouS for good roads. You, too. would be,
| l guess, if bad roads had cost you nearly
$4,000"
1t was an unanswerable argument
| and the money-lender admitted as much
by departing without saying another
| word.
