BOYS WORKBENCH.
Follow This Plan and You Will Get
Very Good One.

Follow This Plan and You Will Get
n Very Good One.
One of the most indispensable things
for the boy who likes carpentry and
wishes to do really good work is good
benchcon which to work.
1t must be substantially made, should
be provided with q planning stop, u
wise, and drawer in which to keep
ecrews, nails and small tools. Such
a bench may easily be constructed by
the boy himself, provided he knows
Just what to do. If he works without
definite and correct plan, however,
much time and material may be wasted
with 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 sqtare, 36 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 1A 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 a wide strip. Six
inches up from the free ends mark with
lead pencil where the narrow strip
would lie, and cut laps in the legs with
a saw and chisei so that the narrow
strip will fit tightly in them. Screw
this fast also, and as n result one of the
end supports will be finished and will
appear as shown in Fig. 1. Fasten the
other two pieces in a similar manner.
Then take two pieces of clear pine
Ave feet long, eight inches wide and
seven-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

over the top. She hung head down
ward near the top of the jar, and at first
would dart under the leaves when any
one approached. j could easily lift the
cover and slip live fly into the jar.
Then Judy would sit perfectly still
while the unsuspecting fly would be-
gin to crawl round and round the jar;
her forelegs were drawn tense; nearer
and nearer circles the fiy-then, just the
moment he is in the right spot, you see
flash, and Judy, in the same position,
has the poor fly held fast in a pair of
arms edged with row of tiny, sharp
points. Not step has she moved
just one grab with those powerful arms.
She never misses. Now that the fly il
caught, she proceeds to eat it, a bite at
a time, very much as a squirrel eats.
She will take one bite and leisurely
chew it while she looks at you in very
saucy manner, with her two big gog-
giles.
At last she became so tame that we
could push her around with our fingers
and she would not mind it. Then took
her out and tied a thread loosely around
her body between her forelegs and the
next pair, and "larieted" her out on a
begonia that sat in a window. She
would crawl the length of her string
all over the window and plants, catch
ing flies and bugs She would now take
live flies out of our fingers. Sometimes
if she was not hungry she would strike
our fingers, but altogether she was very
"Sweet temDaredv
She would perch on my finger and
look at me, turning her head on the
side in a very cute way, and was also
very neat and clean, as she always

them stood back ready to run if she

Bruin on "A Honey Hunt.

Bears have an intense longing for
sweets, and that is why they will rob a
honey tree at any hazard. A man who
had been cutting wood in the forest was
resting at noon, when he happened to
catch sight of bear nbstracting honey
from hollow tree. The man kept quiet
and watched the operation. The bees
were at home, and every time the bear
put in his paw and brought it out, drip
ping with honey, the insects swarmed
around him. The bear kept his eyes
shut, and worked away industriously
until some of the bees must have found
tender spot; at any rate, he suddenly
gave howl of mingled rage and pain,
and then scampered away as fast as his
legs could carry him.

Taking Care of Fruit Trees.

The peach is propagated by budding
on seeding peach trees. Generally the
seed is planted in the spring and the
plant budded in August. In pruning
the peach, from one-third to one-half
of the new wood should be cut off each
year. This should be done in the spring
before growth starts. BY this treat
ment the fruit buds are thinned out and
the tree takes on compact form and
does not easily break down. Cherry
and plum trees may have light pruning
done early in the spring. They no not
need much pruning, but a little looking
over each year TO take out interlocling
branches and shorten branches that
grow too strongly.-Farm and Home.

than did year ago, but won't it cost
too much?' His wife, bright, well-in-

gument you have been using for five

Human life is more precious than gold.
Bad roads cost life in our family
"rhat excited my curiosity, and I
asked for the story. Here it is:
Last year was moving back of the
house. Our four-year-old child came
out to see me. 1 did not hear him. My
scythe swung far to the left and struck
something. A plaintive "Oh, papa" drove
the ste,l to my heart. saw him as he
fell. He had received trightful wound,
severing arteries. l Immediately
hitched up team and started for the
city. The roads were worse than they
are now. 1t was a slow journey, pain

ney back. When we reached him the
little one was beyond earthly help

bing when the story was finished.
When he could speak, the young farmer
continued: 1t must seem strange TO
you to have this story appear in our
talk on good roads, but my wife, when
ever she sees anything about good roads
in the papers and magazines, always
says that if we had had good roads be-
| tween here and the city little Ben would
be with us. 1t is telling argument. l
could have gotten the doctor in quar-
ter of the time if we had had good roads.
and he could have saved the boys life.
The wife spoke of the funeral. They
had many friends, yet only a few at
tended, because of the almost impassa-
BILE roads. 1t would have been such q
comfort to see our neighbors present.
Ever since then / have been an advo-
cate of good roads. Not alone, of course,
because of our loss, but because that
set me to thinking, and have written
the county papers many letters on the
subject. Farmers are not as neigh
borly as they should be, and much of
this lack is owing TO bad roads during
good share of the year. The one
thing needful to make this part of our
state veritable paradise is good roads

great cry for good roads is chiefly made
by wheelmen. He and nearly every.
one else in this community has become
convinced that the farmer can no longer
regard the bicycle as stranger and al
enemy, as nearly all of the farmers
sons and daughters for miles around
are riding wheels. 1t will be wheels

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 in wedlock, it is the
fashion for their intimate friends to
buy register cheese" for the young
couple. This is presented to the newly
welded people on the evening of the
wedding day, andit is ever after retained
by them and used as a family register.
On these heirloom cheeses the whole
history of the family is carved, such as
births, marriages, deaths, and other in
cidents which 1t may be desired to
make matters of record. Some Of these
old Swiss family cheese records are said
TO date back to the middle of the seven
teenth century.
At the agricultural fair annually held
at Gessenay great many cheese regis
tcrs have been exhibited which were
known to be from $50 to 200 years old
The oldest that has yet been displayed
belongs to a country squire living near
Gessenay, who shows his family record

from the ends of each piece, and use
screws 1h inches IN length.
For the top of the bench use clear
pine planling not than 1B inches
in thickness; this should be fitted close
ly together and fastened to the cross
pieces with stout screws.
Next, from an oak or ash plank
piece should be cut as shown in Fig. 2.
This is for the wise Jaw; screw and
lever can be purchased at a hardware
store and fitted to it, and the whole at
tached to the bench; but if this should
prove too much of an undertaking for
the youthful workman it will not be
difficult to get carpenter to put it in
place.
At the bottom of the jaw n sliding
piece with series of holes for n peg
should be provided and held in place by
an iron pin.
From one of these sides of the bench a
piece should be cut 12 inches long and
four inches wide; this will serve as
the front of the drawer, which may be
made with half-inch pine, fastened to-
gether with glue and nails. 1t must be
arranged, of course, to slide in and out
on runners. Almost any shallow box
fastened to the front board may be used
for this purpose. An oval hole should
be made in the front for handle.
"A planning stop with teeth on one side
can be purchased at hardware store
and tightly fitted into hole through
the top of the bench. When all is com,
plete you will have convenient and
serviceable workbench, like that shown
in the illustration.
