THE sNAIL's TONGUE.
1t Ia One of the Most Wonderful
Thi.gs of Nature.

1t Ia One of the Most Wonderful
Thi.gs of Nature.
\ snairs tongue is really one of the
most wonderful things in nature, and
if larger animals were endowed with as
destructive an apparatus in the way
of tongue, i'll comparison to their size,
il would be dreadful thing.
A snaiIs tongue is literally saw, and
q handsaw at that. 1t is long and COW
cred over the entire surface with teeth
SO minute that 10000 of them have
been counted on a tongue. The tongue
is kept coiled up and only about a
sixth of the length used at a time.
When the teeth of this section become
dull another section is uncoiled and
used. This is kept up until the entire
tongue has been used, when it is coiled
up again, and fresh start made, for
the teeth on the unused part have in
the meantime grown to be as sharp as
ever.
The roof of tlee foouth is as hard as
a bone. and any substance that is to be
cut is drawn between the tongue and
this hard roof and literally sawed or
rasped off.
A man with knife could hardly trim
off a leaf and leave a cleaner or
straighter edge than the snail leaves.
and there is nothing of the proyerbial
slowness of the snail in it's work.-Cin-
cinnati Commercial Tribune.

How to Transform a yeranda Into an
Out-0f-DOOr ParIOr.
There was a time when in our more
northern towns and villages furniture
adapted especially for use ON the
piazza was unheard of; when even a
chair was considered a blot upon the
fair surface of the shining floor, and
the barren, spotless cleanness of the
front stoop" was a thing to be won
dered at. Nowadays things are differ
ent, says the Kansas City Star, and even
in puritanical New England one sees
brilliantly colored hammocks and COM
Portable rocking chairs, cleaning
through uncovered trellises, which
shelter this same front stoop. These
out-of-door parlors can be made de-
Gghtfully charming and. fortunately,
simple and pretty piazza furniture is
within the reach of almost everyone
Hammocks, of course, are wanted, pro-
sided one has space enough to hang
them.
And easy chairs, divans and tables.

HANDY DAIRY WELL
Description OF an Excellent Cooler for
Small Dairymen.


Small Dairymen.
A we'll for keeping dairy products and
also fresh meats is a desideratum on
many farms. For ordinary use the well
should be dug by feet, with gut
ter or groove, down one side, is inches
square It should contain or feet
of standing water. 1t should be in
easy reach of the kitchen, and attached
to the house if possible. The curbing
should be no larger than the we'll. A
platform, which fits inside the well,
slides up and down between two tim
bers, which rest on the bottom of the
well and are long enough to reach up
three inches above the curb. These
two timbers should be planed. The
framework of the platform has a
board nailed on each side of il, forming
a groove which fits on the upright tim
bers at each end of the wall. This
makes it rigid and keeps it level. The

THE CHESAPEAKE MILL.
Building Made from the Timbers of
Famous Hattie Ship.

Building Made from the Timbers of n
Famous Hattie Ship.
In ST. Nicholas there is an article
on "The Chesapeake MILL" by William
Abbatt, accompanied by picture of
the interesting old building, probably
the first one ever printed. Mr.. Abbatt
says:
If there is naval fight in our history
about which every schoolboy ought to
know-to use an expression of which
historians are rather fond-it is the sea
fight between the man of war Chesa-
peake and the British Shannon, Off
Boston harbor, on the 1st of June, 1913.
1t has been SO often told that will not
tell if>over again except in the brief
est way. The Chesapeake was cap
auredt chiefly or altogether through
the n1utinous conduct of part of her
crew, who refused to work the cannon
on her lower deck at all. Capt. Law
renee and Lieut.. Ludlow were killed,
or, to be exact, the captain died of his
wounds four days after the loss of his
ship, and the Shannon took her prize
into the harbor of Halifax, where her
arrival caused the greatest rejoicing.
The dying words of Lawrence, as he
was carried from the deck, Don't give
up the ship!" have been familiar to our
boys and girls for more than 80 years.
1T is these words that make the COM
bat most memorable. They are good
motto in every trouble of life. Don't
give up the ship-don't despair, lose
heart, surrender, but take courage, and,
like Gen. Grant, Flight it out on this
line if it takes all summer"
With the Chesapeake's entrance into
Halifax harbor all trace of her disap-
Pearsafrom our smaller histories. Some
years after the war of 1912 was over,
the English naval authorities decided
that the Shannon was useless, and had
her broken up. 1 think, if they realized

Mistakes Made by Mothers.

A woman is out of her element I'm
less she is acquainted to certain ex-
tent with the science of bake-ology,
boil-ology, broil-ology and mend-oiogy.
How often we see mothers busily- en-
gagged in domestic duties like slave,
in order that the girl may enjoy every
luxury and do nothing; indeed, many
hardly let their daughters soil their
hands, says a quiet observer. There
never was a greater blunder than to
substitute good looks for good quail
ties. Every girl ought to be brought
up to have regular domestic duties
Idleness should be forbidden her. The
only dignified life is useful life.

RURAL EXISTENCE.
Building of Good Roads VIII Make
1t DeILEhtfuI Indeed.

1T Delightful Indeed.
Wherevere Xperimentsin rural mail de-
livery have been made it has been found
to work most uccessfully-duTing clear
weather when the roads were all right
Which indicates how inGIfssolubly
linked together are the problems OF
good roads and the uplift of the social
LIE of the farm.
The time has come when the Ameri-
can farmer must sit down TO think out
this question of good roads and how to
get them. 1t is not an eXaggeration to
say that TO the future of American agri-
culture few things bear so important n
relationship as does the question OF
good roads. Indeed, if the generation
now growing up on the farm is to be
kept on the farm, better social adYan-
tages will be found absolutely neces-
sary, and what single thing could con-
tribute SO much as good roads to the
elevation of life upon the farm?
But the whole question is being dis
cussed in a desultory and indeterminate
way, which promises nothing for the
future. Organized effort, in which the
Eheelmen of the town and the farmer
of the country should stand shoulder to
shoulder, must be put forth If substap-
tial advance is TO be made With the
harvests out OF the way, there should be
set on foot a movement looking to this
erd.
With good roads farm life will have
AL the delights of rural existence, to
which will be added disadvantages of
the town, of a daily mail, of social in
tercourse with neighbors, of musicales
and lectures brought near. Good roads
will transform the farm. which SO many
now desert for the city, into the most
attractive of homes, and give once more

professions and occupations of life

FILE FOR RECEIPTS.
An Appropriate and Easily Made Gift
for Man or Woman.

An Appropriate and Easily Made Gift
for Man or Woman.
A convenient and appropriate gift
for either man or woman can be made
very simply and will prove exceedingly
useful.
Twelve heavy envelopes, bound to-
gether and covered with a suggestive
outside case, will make a receptacle
for each months receipts, and file them
away in such order that they may be
referred TO at moments notice, dur
ing a whole year. The best and most
durable envelopes for this purpose are
the heavy brown paper ones. or those
linen lined, used often for legal docu-
mentS.
These may be just tied together with
narrow ribbon, if one does not wish to
regularly bind them, but it is much
better to glue a narrow strip of linen
to each envelope and sew them all light
ly together, after which the cover
should be attached. The style of this
latter should depend upon the proba BILE
preference of the one for whom the
gift is intended. A dainty embroidered
linen cover with ribbons to tie makes
a prett! finish for the nice1y-appointed
desk of ''milady" who perhaps has Dres-
den fittings.
In this case the cover might be en-
broidered in Dresden design and tied
with blue ribbons, or a heavy paper
can be painted in water color in the
same way. If this file is intended for
business mans desk, heavy brown
linen cover, or one of leather or chamois

nine cases out of ten there is no reason
for them. In nine cases out of ten, the

to adhere to the principles OF our party plat
form. We strenuously oppose all fusion or
entangling alliance with any other political
party, and declare to the "boys in the
trenches" who are looking to us for new
hope and encouragement, and to the whole
country that we will never furl our flag or
fight under the banner of either of the two
old political parties. Let all good men unite
under the Peoples party banner and fight
the giant evils which now endanger the repub-
l!c.
We call special attention to the fact that
the great railroad corporations of the coun-
try have been freely and openly used during
political campaigns by the money power Of
two continents one of the most powerful
and effective agencies for defeating promised
financial reform. The public ownership and
operation of the transportation lines Of the
country demanded by the Peoples party
is not only necessary to secure lower and more
equitable transportation rates. greater and
better facilities Of transportation, to protect
the public against the oppression and dis
elimination now too often used against per-
sons and localities and to better the condi-
ton of railway employees. but 1t is also abso-
lutely essential to enable the people to Sc
cure financial reform and to preserve popular
government.
We renew the recommendation unanimously
made one year ago by this association that
the non-interest bond plan be made a subject
for general discussion. The proposition to
redeem kind of money with another
kind ofmoney Is illogical, contrary to sound
reason and in no sense represents Populist
PRINCIPLES.
