HANDY WAGON BOX.

a very handy arrangement on the farm
or on the road for hauling loads of
grain, wood, tile, etc.
The main frame or bottom of wagon
box consists of two scantling 3 by 4
inches and any length, according to
length of box desired, although IL feet
makes very desirable length. These
are joined together by 2 by cross ties
pinned at the ends into mortises The
iron sockets on the sides which are
made to hold the ? by 3 standards on
the side boards can be made by any
blacksmith out Of an old wagon tire.
The side boards may be made any
height to suit the purpose and may be
planed and painted or put up i'll the
rough. There are several styles of end
gates, and any of them can be used to
suit the taste The end gates may be
fastened in with an end gate rod or
hooks and staples used.
A box like this can be made tight
enough by flooring the frame carefully
so that any grain or shelled corn may
y
cheaply and where farmer is handy
with tools should not cost over 81 80,
as nearly all the material may be pro-
duced from the farm excepting the
hardware.
However, if the material be pur-
chased it should not cost over 81. A
very handy feature about this box is
that when not in use ii can be folded
together and set aside out of the way.

Education In Finland.

Consul Smith at Moscow has made a
report TO the state department III regard
to the education of children in Finland.
about 3S per cent of the population
of Finland" he says, "can read and
write. There are l, 400 schools, support
ed in part by the government. Twenty
one Of these are intermediate schools.
Each Of the 46G districts has an inspector
besides board of directors. Children
commence school at the age of 10.
From z to 10 they receive instruction
at home from the parish priest. Co-edu-
cation has been most successful in these
schools. In Finland women share in
all industries, and are especially capa-
bic as teachers. Both men and women
teachers receive careful instruction and
preparation. They are treated with the
greatest Difference, nor are their duties
confined to the schoolroom. They exer-
else supervision over the selection Of
books for home reading, and during the
summer vacations they accompany the
children on excursions, giving them
lessons from nature.

News and Notes.

The statistician of the department of
agriculture, from preliminary returns
on the acreage of corn, estimates a re.
duction Of 3 per cent from the area har-
vested last year. There is decrease of
502, 900 acres in Illinois, of 303, 900 in
Iowa, of Col, 600 in Missouri, of 722, =
600 in Kansas, and of 1872, 900 in Ne
braska.
A beekeeper says that those beekeep-
ers living in or near town would do
we'll to exert themselves in inducing
the town people to plant Eastwood trees
in preference TO other kinds.
American Cultivator says that when
there is fair set of fruit on trees or
vines, if the fruit continues green longer
than it should, quantity of nitrate of
potash very largely diluted with water
will have a most extraordinary effect in
fastening its ripening.
According to the July crop reports,
with few notable exceptions. among
which is Georgia, with condition Of
10I, indications as to the peach crop are
somewhat unfavorable.
A new preparation under the name Of
"laurel green" is ON the market as a
substitute for paris green. According to
chemical analysis of the Cornell station,
it contains arsenic, copper and lime and
sulphuric and carbonic acids. These
same substances would be found i'm q
mixture of paris green and bordeaux
mixture after drying.

Duffy and His Poems.

Sir Charles Gavan Duffy relates that
he once had put into his hands by
hostess n volume containing some of his
own poems and was asked for his opin.
ion of them.
Dreadful drivel, replied the modest
Sir Charles.
His hostess flushed. II don't mind
your laughing at me-, she said "but
pray don laugh at verses which came
to me from the very heart of my hus-
band when we first knew each other
and which l will treasure to my dying
day."

Probably no incidMt connected with
his career is more thrilling than the
hold up Of one of his stages by Jesse
James and three of his pals" some
time back in the seventies. This Incl.
dent is described in one Of the stories OF
that notorious highwayman. 1t occurred
early one morning. When the stage was
about half way between Horsecave and
Mammoth cave four men sprang out
from the side Of the road and ordered
the driver TO halt. One Of the men
caught the horses and the other three
drew pistols and held them at the heads
of the driver and passengers. The driver
Of course did as ordered, and the men
proceeded to search the passengers. Ev-
erything of value was taken.
One of the men robbed was man
named Roundtree, who was well known
at that time. He had valuable gold
watch which James confiscated for his
own use. The timepiece was held very
dear by Roundtree, as it had been pre-
scented him by Ex-Governor Knott, who
was at that time a young man. The no

Shines Cost More Than the Boots.

New York bootblacks have reduced
the price for "blacking" russell shoes
from 10 cents to nickel. Patent leath-
ers will probably come next. The fact
is that the old fashioned cent plain
shine is the hardest job of the lot t.
tackle and worth the most money. Ana
it is curious to see how the shoe shining
business has developed. Let it. The
whole street looks better for clean shoes.
But when you come to think of it the
shining costs more than the shoes. You

months, they will cost you 80 just for

The flag Of our country is generally

full banners in the world, and the fact
that there is something inherently at

guay has white and blue stripes with
white field and gilt sun for an emblem,
that of Salvador the same number of
stripes, white and blue, with red field
and nine white stars Nicaragua has
five stripes, the two outer at the top and
bottom of the flag being blue, the two
inner white and the middle one red.
The flags of Liberia and the Hawaiian
islands are exactly alike, each having
alternate red and white stripes, with
blue field and single white star. The
Greek naval flag has nine white and

cross. The Orange Free State has seven
alternate white and yellow stripes with
a field of red, white and blue, and sew

more or less close TO our national ensign.

There are more uses on the farm for
short ladders than long oaes. With this
ladder you can splice the two sections,
and then you can have a long ladder

Fad ~ the Hour.

Among the fads that catch the public
taste is the one of buttoning the lowest
button of the coat and leaving the
rest unbuttoned. This gives the proper
look to the figure and prevents the full
