rounds they will hold it in place. On
the lower ends of the top section bolt
two irons and let them come down
straight, and at the end bend a half
circle, so they will just fit over the
rounds; this will support the bottom of
the top section and the irons at the
top will hold it in place. The ladder
can be doubled up and placed where
you want it. Push the top section up
when you desire to climb higher and
stop whenever you want it by simply
setting the irons upon a round. If it is
not wanted for an extension ladder it
can be slipped apart and used as two
single ladders. The illustrations will
show it's construction. Fig. 2 in the

COMMERCIAL WIT.
A Parcel of Puns That Were Worked
on All Right hut They
Didn't Take.

Four travelling men sat on the sidewalk
in front of the Windsor the other night tell
ing stories. The man who smoked stogies
had Just finished a somnambulist tale.
Reminds me of what the pickpooket said
to his fellow-prisoner," commented the man
with the nasal blossom.
"What was that"
"I am here, gentlemen" he said, "as the
result of moment of abstraction"
The pun fell with a dull, sickening thud.
But the man who smoked stogies came to
the front again.
Like the incendiary, eh? There is some
similarity. He was there because of his
habit of making light of things"
The blossomy man refused to be silent.
IBut did you hear about the forger"
"No. Why%
"He was there on account of simple de.
sire to make a name for himself"
The man with the stogie meditated.
"That reminds me of the burglar" he
casually remarked. There was a three min
ute stage wait and the man who liked apple
jack gave way to curiosity.
"Why"
GAS he said, through nothing but taking
advantage of an opening which offered in 9
large mercantile establishment"
The blossomy man had departed leaving
a wide, far-reaching void.-St. Paul Globe.

"Why--erI1the, masses, you know; the

Teach the Lambs to Feed.

The little lamb should be taught to
eat as soon as possible, by keeping feed
in trough in pen near by, so ar
ranged that the lambs can go in and
out at will. This should be kept up un-
til the eve can go through the same
hole that the lamb does, even feeding
the lambs after the sheep go on grass.
If ever a sheep is to have short rations,
don't let it be during the first three
months of its life. The same might be
said of any other kind of stock. Dock
the lambs and castrate the ram lambs
when about two weeks old.-Farmers'

A Cover for Brooms.

A broom cover of cotton flannel in

ly over th1 broom in bag fashion tying
it closely with string run in the upper

are dark gray, red or any other color
that does not crock after sweeping off
the kitchen floor or any painted or hard
wood floor. Go over it with a covered
broom, and every particle of dust can
be easily taken up and the floor polished
almost as bright as if it had been
rubbed with a cloth by hand. A GOV.
cred broom is valuable for sweeping
piazzas as well as for sweeping down

SORBETS AND ICES.
How to Prepare These Refreshing Dishes
without the Use Of Liquor.


How to Prepare These Refreshing Dishes
without the Use Of Liquor.
Sorbets and GRANTEES are ices that are
properly served in the midst of the din
ner, directly after the roast. They are
an especially refreshing course at sum-
mer dinner, and may be made Of fruit
juices without the addition Of liquor.
Sorbets, like punch, are merely iced,
or only partially frozen. They should
be Of q smooth, even, creamlike consist
tncy. GRANTEES, on the other hand, are
frozen as firm as an ice cream, but are
of a rough grained consistency. To OBJ
tain this effect they are packed in ice
and salt from three to four hours and
are stirred but little. Pineapple is re-
freshing, cooling fruit and makes de-
licious granite or sorbet.
To make q pineapple sorbet peel and
cut up sugar loaf pineapple in small
pieces and let it stand overnight OF
for 12 hours in a cool place, with two
cups Of sugar added to 1t. Then strain
off the juice and press the pulp to cx,
tract all the juice possible. Add to this
the grated rind of Valencia orange and
a pint of water. Mix the ingredients
and let them boil ten minutes. Remove
the mixture from the fire, add the juice
of one lemon and of two Valencia or.
anges; freeze for about 10 minutes and
serve it.
II you desire granite, set the mix
ture away. packed in ice, and let it re.
main there for from two to three hours.
Scrape the frozen part occasionally
from the sides of the can and stir the
whole long enough to mix the ice thor
oughly with the mass, but not enough
to beat it to an even cream. A granite
is always rough. Either of these ices is
properly served in cup made of the
half skin Of an orange, with the pulp
scraped out.
For raspberry sorbet boil together
a pint Of sugar and pint of water for
ten minutes. Put two quarts of raspber-
ries, well mashed, in pan and pour
the hot strip over theY; Let them boil
up once, then remove from the fire and
strain. Add the juice of two lemons
and freeze for eight or ten minutes To
make raspberry granite pack and
freeze in the same way in which the
pineapple granite was prepared. Some
of the whole berries may be stirred in
just before it is served.
Orange sorbet is particularly deli.
cious. Make strip of three cups Of
sugar and three cups of water. Add the
grated peel of five Valencia oranges and
let it boil quickly for 10 minutes. Add
the strained juice of dozen Valencia
oranges and the juice of lemon. Freeze
Immediately and serve at once. The
sorbet should be rich shade of yellow.

ing strictly to business and having lot
Of good friends in the trade. There is
nothing like having friends who will

I'm 1898 the long side Of the lard
market looked inviting, and Fairbank

we were carrying big load the price
was 80. so tierce, and that was none
too high. We had sold freely for ship
ment and had thousands of tierces ON
cars ready to go out. When, however,
we came to negotiate our exchange,
there was trouble. IL was the panic
year, and Chicago bankers were afraid
to handle our drafts. We could get only
s25, 900, mere bagatelle, OH our New
York exchange, and we had to suspend
shipments. We ran short of funds to
carry out our contracts on the board
and had to give it up and close out all
our trade.
"On the day of the suspension my
Indebtedness was 1880, 900. To offset
this had in packing interests and real
estate $3.50, 900 worth Of property
earning money. None Of my assets,
however, could be turned into cash

and asked for time. They were good
fellows and agreed. Mr.. Hutchinson

per cent almost at the start. kept
plugging away, and few days ago

So gave Mr.. Hutchinson certified
check for the amount and closed up the
affair. New York journal.
