= The lumber required for the con-
struction of the arbor shown in the
accompanying sketch consists of posts
AKA inches and 8 feet long; 2x4-inch
scantling 16 feet long, to be cut into g.
foot length for top crosspieces, and
into lengths of about feet for the
braces *at@the upper corners, and strips
1x21A inches, also 16 feet long. All
the lumber used should be dressed,
for the structure, to be durable, must
be painted, and undressed lumber re-
quires more than double the amount
of paint and twice the labor to apply it..
Make mortise in each post with
the lower edge about one foot from
the end, of such dimensions as to re-
ceive the scantling snugly. Dome this
end of each post by saving off the COR
ners, as shown in the illustration. This
will leave about eight inches to extend
above the arbor. About 20 inches be-
low the lower edge of the first NOR
tise and on the opposite side, make a
second mortise, running diagonaly
across the post at an angle of As de-
grees, and of such width and depth as
to receive the scantling snugly, and
flush with the post. This diagonal
mortise must be cut in the opposite di-
rection in half of the posts, as will be
seen by observing the position of the
braces. Into the lower end of each
post bore hole five inches deep of
proper diameter to receive a piece of
three-quarters-inch gaspipe so that it
fits tightly when hammered in. The
piece CT pipe should be about foot
long, thus leaving about inches to ex-
tend from the post.

That is what Mrs. Billtops said to Mr..

thing with which to wind up the un-
wound spring in the roller of window

fork on the tin pie plate in the drawer

ask him! He did; and he not only
found it here, but he found it with the
sharp points of it's primly parallel

He carried the fork into the dining

from him, and wound up the shade her.

tines of the fork were just wide enough
apart to fit snugly over the flat-sided
spindle of the fixture, SO that it was
perfectly easy to twist the spring up
with it. He learned, indeed, that Mrs.
Billtops kept this fork for the express
purpose of winding up window shades,
and when he had seen her wind up this
spring with it, and then throw the little
side piece, that held it, into place again
with a single touch of a hairpin, why,
he was more than ever convinced, it

CHINA'S FIRST WOMAN DOCTOR.

doctor of medicine was conferred by the
Woman's Medical college of Philadel-
iphia, and, also, after a brief post-grad-
uate course, by the Philadelphia Poly
clinic. Then followed several months
@of practical work in the Woman's hos
pital of Boston.
= In December of 1890, DR.. HUI, fully
equipped for her life work, returned to
Foochow to assume charge of Liang-au
hospital. A triumphant homecoming
it was. Mandarins and coolies, high and
low, met the ship, eager to pay their
respects. -:
Her most priced successes, however,
are not social, but professional. One in
stance is related of a coolie wheeling
his blind old mother thousand miles
in wheelbarrow to consult the woman
doctor. A double cataract operation,
and the blind was made to see.
The only son of wealthy mandarin
was dumb from his birth, and so of no
account-disqualified to worship before
the names of his ancestors. The tied
tongue once relieved, and the dumb
was made to talk! Hence the name and

Her neigh bors scarcely ever see her even passing in carriage. 1t is said that the Cleve- lands are the quietest family about the bay; Mr. Cleveland keeps to his fishing and his wife to Gray Gables. In the evening or the early morning she and her children often go out for ride on the naphtha launch which lies near the little landing platform.
 MT. Benedict's palatial yacht, the Oneida, is anchored deal of tlre time as near to Gray Gables as her draught will permit Mr. Cleveland often goes on board for dinner. MT. Benedict has offered to carry his friend around the world on the Oneida; but the Parthe non, the Coliseum and the pyramids probably would not interest him as much as his favorite fishing in Bug zard's Bay. His distaste of exercise has not decreased; vigorous man though he is, he does not seem to need it. His health is better than it has been for many years; but he still has pang now and then from his gouty foot IS he makes that long walk of two rods from his porch to his boat.

LIFE AT CRAY CABLES.
The Summer DoinEs of Ex-President
 Cleveland and FnmiIY

Cleveland and Family
 There has been little change at Gray Gables, Buzzard's Bay. It is not more accessible; reporters are not more well come. Fishing continues to be good. Mir. Cleveland sought place when he was in office where he could catch fish without being caught by the reporters, and he got it. It must have been the strategical advantages of the particu- lar spot where Gray Gables is located that made him decide in it's favor. The reporter was bound to come by the wrong path and suddenly find himself near to Gray Gables, it is true, but with a bay between him and his goal. As Mr. Cleveland was careful to tell any friends whom he wanted to see the right path, the chances were that the person making the error was some body he didn't want to see.
 The people of Buzzard's Bay and vi- einity have come to look upon Mr. Cleveland as an old story. They don't dislike him; they look upon him as fisherman who minds his own business.
 The fishermen like him best. He sur prised them long ago by offering some of his own stock to fisherman who was about to return home because he had run out of bait Now he never wants for bait himself. Usually he says good morning." to any professional hard-handed old fisherman he passes, though never to soft-handed fisher- man from up Boston way. He tells the professional fisherman if "they're bit ing well" where he is, and the profes- sionals return his kindness. There eX- ists professional self-respect between them, and the fishermen say that they can give him no pointers in their art. Indeed, they assert that he could easily earn his bread and butter as a profes- sional, himself.
 The residents tell how in the early days Of NIT. and Mrs. Cleveland at Buz-
