wayside watering places very attract

that can be followed to advantage
where water can be brought to the road
in a pipe from higher ground. The tank
is made Of cobble stones, cemented. The
roof can be supported by bent iron rods,
or by wooden posts, the lower ends in
either case being imbedded in the ce-

growing about, and over, such struc-

Half a century ago child with the
most distressing facial deformities was
allowed to grow up dread to himself

ciates. 1t was not deemed possible TO
correct these ills; indeed, nobody gave
it any thought; the wretched victim
suffered out his miserable remnant OF
life. and that was all there was about
it. Within the past few years branch
OF surgery that is of the utmost impo--
lance to humanity has been receiving
careful attention. And as the art OF
restoration stands at the present day,
there is no excuse whatever for the
hideous objects that were formerly
looked upon as incurable anti, there

are now made in the personal appear
ance The hare lip and distorted
mouth are treated scientifically, and
the face is restored to it's normal con-
dition, and even greatly improved by
the operations which these blemishes
render necessary. Crooked noses are
Strengthened, and ears that extend out
from the head are skillfully put to
rights with the most astonishingly
gratifying results. Flat, bumped or
depressed noses are made symmetrical
and even beautiful. OF course, the
treatment is more successful upon the
Young than when undertaken with
those who have reached maturity; but
even late in life it is quite worth
while to have some of ones blemishes
removed and to present to the world
a., good an appearance as possible.

Homemade Ie11y Press.

The Rural New Yorker gives direc-
tons for making good jelly press. A
cooking steamer with large holes in the
bottom is fitted with a circular board
cover and placed under pressure, as
shown. The steamer rests on a board
that is perforated and that is raised
above another board that is grooved to
catch the juice and conduct it into a
pan below. The bottom Of the steamer
cannot thus be pressed out of shape.
The hinged lever presses a wooden
block down upon the lid, being steadied
by an upright fastened to the block on
which the press stands. Extract the

HEAVY EATERS.
Some Remarkable Feats of Men With Big
Appetites.

Some Remarkable Feats of Men With Big
Appetites.
A comparison and the averages OF
many noted professional and amateur
eaters reveals that none has reached
that of Oakley Stanton, of Derbyshire,
England, who lived in the last CEN
tury. Mr.. Stanton on certain oc-
casion in one hour ate single meal OF
four dishes, composed as follows: Inc
first dish was an amalgam of two
quarts of milk, thirty eggs, half a
pound of butter, three penny loaves, a
quantity of ginger and nutmeg, and
an ounce of mustard, all boiled to-
gether. The second dish was pound
of cheese and a pound of loaf bread;
the third, half pound of bran, a
penny loaf of bread, quart OF ale,
three half-pennies' worth of ginger
bread and a pint of ale; the fourth
custard of two pounds, pint OF milk
and three pints of ale. AS proof
that Mr.. Stanton suffered no incon-
nience from this repast, it is stated
that he passed the balance of the even
ing drinking copiously of ale and
liquor. This feat was for some time
considered unapproachable, until a
porter of Truro, on bet of five shill-
ings, ate two pairs of worsted stock
ings fried in train oil and half pound
of yellow soap. Success inspired this
man to another effort. The wager on
this occasion was that he could not
eat as much tripe as would make him
a Jacket with sleeves. He took the bet
and was regularly measured by a
tailor, who cut the tripe into the exact
size and shape of the garment. The
porter ate it all in twenty minutes. AS
pie specialist the record OF Scotch
man of Dundee is not without distins-
ton. He consumed nine large two
penny pies in 1411a minutes. This feat
aroused much enthusiasm, and induced
betting men to lay odds against him
that he could not devour Il pies of the
same dimensions in Is minutes. The
Scotchman won, with eight minutes to
spare. He offered to occupy the remain
ing margin of time by eating half a
dozen more It is alleged that this
establishes the record on pies, but 1t is
safe to say that it has been surpassed
by some professionals of the east side.

Quality of Harness.

There is no poorer economy than in
buying poor harness because it is
cheap. Well tanned leather with due
care will resist dampness, and will keep
sound long time. Harness should
never be kept in the stable. There is
too much ammonia in stables, which
will quickly cause a harness to rot.
When used in warm weather the har-
ness should be cleaned often, and kept
soft and flexible with oil.
