Well, IN that case, we won't have any
thrill in it. Of course, it's there, but it
comes so suddenly and is so soon over that
you hardly have time to know what thrilled
you. If you want to get right down to
hard-pan realism and sound the keynote
of the soldiers general experience, you
want to leave out most of this description
of a hero rushing headlong through strug.

gun with one hand and the star spangled
banner with the other, while singing MY
Country, 'Tis of Thee at the top of his
voice. Well get out of the beaten track OF
fiction and relate how many hours day he
spend currying his horse and polishing his
weapons, and how many miles a day he
travelled, and how often he wanted to talE
back and didn't dare, and how he would
have been willing to give four dollars g

rest of the little details which play so i'm

have hitherto so strangely neglected. -

No dairyman who makes a study of
his business is satisfied with watering
his herd once day. If his cattle can
be induced to drink two or three times
day he is glad of it. All the cattle
may not be equally thirsty at the same
time. Cows require an immense
amount of water, as every farmer boy
has noticed. Experiments haze shown
that the average milch cow needs about
81 pounds of water day while in
milk-this is nearly ten gallons-and
over so pounds while dry. Of this the
in milk takes rather more than two
thirds as drink and the rest in her food,
while the dry cow takes rather less than
two-thirds as drink and little more
than one-third in her food.-Farmer's
Review.

that part between the finger loops and
the rivet, is perfectly straight and is
inlaid with pearl. Just at the point
where the blades cross is a guard"
similar to the same thing on hunting
knife, to prevent the hand slipping
when the instrument is used as a
weapon. From the guard to the ends
of the blades they are slender and ta-
pering to fine point. When opened
this is an ordinary pair of scissors, but
when closed it becomes perfect and a
dangerous stiletto.
A great many women always carry
these scissors with them. They are car
ried in sheath like any dagger, and
thrust in the bodice, where they are
very handy in case of need. The Span
ish and Spanish-American woman is a
very passionate, resentful creature, and
when reused most dangerous one,
who will not hesitate to draw her stilet-
to, and use it. They are very quick
and expert in the use of this weapon,
and woe to the luckless one who in
ours their anger or hatred, for their
thrust is sure and deadly.-Detroit

Two-wHEELED GARDEN CART

ing, of course, with the use the cart is to
be put to. If to be used by the boys of
the farm it should not be large. The
handles are bolted to the axle, and a
frame made of by As bolted to the axle
and handles. This frame should set so
that about third of it's length will
reach in front of the axle. This will
give the proper balance when pushing
load. A platform of inch boards is
nailed to the frame, and an end put on
by means of straps of iron, to insure
strength. Removable sideboards are
made of wide boards. Holes are bored,
three along each side of the platform.
Pins are driven into the bottom of the
sideboards to correspond and fit into
the holes in the bottom of the platform.
At the upper side, on the front end of
the board, is staple into which hook,
fastened to the front end of the box,
slips when in place and holds it firm.
There are many places about farm
where this cart will be found conven-
lent. Fig. shows the cart complete and

STILETTO FOR WOMEN.
Carried by Almost Every
Lady in Spain.

The Spanish are generally reputed to
be a quick, hot-tempered race, people
who on small provocation resort to
deadly weapons to avenge wrong or
slight. The stiletto, a small dagger
with a keenly pointed, slender blade, is
a favorite with these people, partly be-
cause of its size, and perhaps more be-
cause of its certainty, as its keen point
and slender blade do not require much
force to make it effective. These stilet-
tos are made in many styles, but the
strangest to the American mind is one
made as a pair of scissors. This is a
form much affected by women, as it is
doubly useful, and in the very nature
of things is most likely to be near at
hand.
They are made like an ordinary pair
of scissors, except that the shank, y or

Best Way to Make Jelly.

The only way one can be sufe each
time to have satisfactory results in iei-
ly making is to keep trying the juice.
Take little out on saucer, let it cool,
and then examine it. 1t is safer way
than to trust to a given number of min
utes. The condition of fruit is hardly
ever twice alike. If possible, when
making jelly, put the fruit after it is
cooked into a flannel bag and let it
drain slowly. 1t is much more likely
to be clear than if squeezed or pressed
out hastily. In making elderberry jel-
ly cook the berries till soft, then strain
through a jelly bag. A thicker and bet
ter favored jelly is obtained by adding
one-third grapes or apples. To every
pint of juice add one pint of white
sugar.

To Make Glassware Shine.

Tumblers and wine glasses should be
washed in hot water and rinsed in cold,
and should be dried with a clean cloth
as soon as possible, and when perfectly
dry rubbed with tissue paper. For
cruets, decanters, etc, tear up some
clean newspapers into pieces about as
big as ten-cent pieces, put into bottles,
half-filled with warm water; give bot
ties rotary motion. When clean, de-
cant and little practice throws out

CRANBERRY PATCHES.
Where There Is Perennial
Spring or Brook.

On a well-tilled farm between culti-

spreading out of the brook. The farm
er believed in Utilizing the waste places
and making every part of the farm
contribute to the general purpose. The
spring from which came the brook
could not be interfered with because it
produced excellent water and was
worth more than anything that could
be grown in the meadow, for after
passing through the swamp it ran into
a trough in the pasture where the cat
tie had access to it.
There were several ways of improving
this meadow and of giving the water
from the spring uninterrupted flow,
but all were costly except the one de-
cided upon. He made a cranberry bog
of the meadow. 1t costs about $500 an
acre to make good bog, but it pays.
Several things are necessary, and one
of them is facility for flooding in the
fall to prevent damage by early frosts.
In this bit of meadow the farmer raised
cranberries as large as cherries, always
welcome to any table, and always in de-
mand in the market, especially when
sugar is low. Wherever there is per-
ennial spring or brook (heaven help
the farm that has neither) there are
usually moist, untillable places, but ex-
actly adapted to cranberry culture.
Put in a few cranberry plants, for
anberry sauce is sauce for anything.
1t is more than sauce; it is food, and
may be just the medicine the system
needs.-George Appleton, in Farm and

THE WOMAN BEAUTIFUL.
The Daily Bath an InfalIibIe Recipe
for Clear Skin and "A Fresh
Complexion.

Cleanliness goes hand in hand with
beauty, not mere cleanliness of face and
hands, but that which promotes the
health of the whole body, keeping the
circulation active and the complexion
clear. The hot bath twice weekly, with
the use of flesh brushes and such toilet
aids as tend to improve and restore
the nervous system and give vigor to all
functions, will be found a necessary
groundwork for beauty building
Cleanliness of the skin has great eff
feet on the proper assimilation of food
by the body, for the tonic of good
bath reaches much farther than the
skin, and the flesh is purified by the
process and becomes smooth and firm
as wax. Aromatic baths, which are
begun with hot water and graduated
to tepid and cold, are very invigorating.
Perfumed tablets are sold by the drug
gists, one of which dissolved in the
water of the bath gives it delicious
and refreshing odor. Sometimes an
ounce of ammonia added to gallon of
water will be found helpful. When the
sponge bath or immersion does not
agree with the system the sponge bath,
with friction, is good substitute. The
hair mitten, loofah and flesh brush an
swer the purpose of the modern method
of massage, especially where there is
a lack of strength on the part of the
subject or an objection to manipulation
of strange hands. The sponge bath
should never be hot, but should be be-
gun with tepid water, ending with a
cool tone, not cold. If there is danger
of taking cold the brisk rub with di-
luted alcohol will prevent it. The dry
bath, where there are serious objections
to water, consists of dry rubbing, after
which the flesh is rubbed with flannel
dipped in toilet water, after which it
is dried with Turkish toweling. Then
there are the professional baths, the
Russian bath, Turkish bath, vapor
bath, mineral water or sulphur bath,
all good in their way and of value as
health reviewers. Any or all might
be classed under the head of the beauty
! bath.-Chicago Chronicle.
