strip has two bolts with thumb-screws
so it may be fastened anywhere along
the strip, a. The strip, a, has bolt holes
two inches apart, along its entire
length.
The runners may be set to mark rows
as wide as four feet apart, and as mar
row as four inches, and between these
extremes, at any distance in an even
number of inches. The outside run
ners in the illustration are set just
even with the ends of the strip, a. The
rows are then three feet apart. But
each runner may be set at least foot
farther from the center, by means of
the bar shown at f, and still lap enough
to fasten. When the rows are to be
less than 21a feet apart the runners
must change places with each other
put at e's end and at DIS end. Then
the rows may be narrowed down to
four inches.
The advantage of having the center
runner on the tongue is this: By rails
ing and lowering the tongue, as need
ed, all the runners may be made to
touch the ground all the time, even
though the ground is uneven. This
marker is made of light material
throughout, so it is no task to drag it
along with one hand.-Orange Judd

THE SUPPLY OF BABIES.
Into the World in the Course
of Every Year.

1t has been computed that about &C.,
100000 babies are born into the world
each year. This rate of production is.
therefore, about 70 per minute, or more
than one for every beat of the clock.
With the one-a-second calculation
every reader is familiar, but it is moi
everyone who stops to calculate what
this means when it comes to a years
supply. 1t will therefore probably
startle a good many persons to find, on
the authenticity of a well-known sta
tistician, that, could the infants of a
year be ranged in line of cradles, the
cradles would extend around the world
The same writer looks at the matter
in a more picturesque ight. He i'm.
agines the babies being Carried past a
given point in their mothers arms, one
by one, and the procession kept up

twelfth month had passed by. A suffi
GENTLY liberal rate is allowed, but, even
going at the rate of 20 a minute, 200
an hour dus;ng the entire year, the re
viewer at his post would have seen only
the sixth part of the infantile host.
In other words, the babe that had to
be carried when the tramp began would
be able to walk when but a mere frac-
ton of its comrades had reached the
reviewers post, and when the years
supply of babies was drawing to a close
there would be a rear guard, not of in
fants, but of romping siX-year-old boys
and girls.-Woman Life.

When Commodore Dewey left Washing
ton in November, 1897, to take command of
the feet in the Pacific Ocean, he did not ride
on a pass or half-rate ticket. Being per
sonal friend of S. B. Hege, General Agent OF
the Baltimore & Ohio passenger department
in Washington, the now famous sea fighter
bought two first-class tickets from Washing
ton to San Francisco via the B. & o., Chi.
cago & Northwestern, Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific lines. Lieut.. Brumby ac-
companied the admiral and they departed
on November 9th.
Some time ago Manager of Passenger
Traffic D. B. Martin, of the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad, set out to collect the
coupons of the ticket and only recently
secured all of them. He has had the ticket
containing Dewey's signature, Autographed
and is issuing fac-similes as souvenirs.

Fine Cream Salad Dressing.

Yolks of three hard-boiled eggs, yolk
of one raw egg, two tablespoonfuls of
vinegar, one tablespoonful of melted
butter, one gill of thick cream, one-half
teaspoonful of salt, one-quarter tea
spoonful of pepper. Mash hard-boiled
yolks until perfectly fine and work in
gradually the raw yolk. This must
be perfectly smooth paste; then add
the salt, pepper and melted butter.
When well blended add by degrees the
cream, working and stirring all the
time. Then add gradually the vinegar,
and it is ready for use. Put in a cold
place. This has the virtue of being
agreeable to people who cannot use
salads containing the usual salad oils.

There are certain kinds of vegetables
which have good sale when dried that
are far too little grown. We allude to
such herbs as sage, thyme, fennel, cori-
ander and the like. More money is
often made from a sage bed than from
the same area of land planted in any
thing else, There is always good de-
mand for it to use for stuffing when
pork, turkey or chicken are to be roast
ed, and if the herb has to be bought at
the grocer's or drug store, several times
what the farmer could well afford to
sell it for has to be paid. There would
be more profit in farming if farmers
paid more attention to the small items
which they now neglect, because they
seem too unimportant to be worthy of
notice.

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

AS rule all gratis succeed best on
trees of their own species.
No matter when transplanting is
done care must be taken to keep the
roots moist.
Bury the old bones and the old boots
and shoes under the roots of the grow
ing fruit trees.
A little trimming every year is far
better than heavy trimming once in
three or four years.
Bonemeal and potash in some forms
are staple fertilizers for any kind of
fruit trees or plants.
Flowers may not add visible dollars
and cents to the bank account, but they
add immensely to the comforts of life.
In setting out trees dig holes large
enough to stretch the roots out full
length and but little deeper than the
tree is set in the hole.-Western Plow-
man.

CULTIVATION COUNTS.
Small Holdings, Diversity of Crops
and First-CIass Products Make
Farmers Wealthy.

For several years prices have, quite
generally, been unremunerative and
production consequently limited, says
a writer in the North American Review.
Farmers have refrained from hiring
help and have contented themselves
with what could be produced by the
family. | know of no farm that is
yielding to its fullest capacity; yet
some are producing more than twice
as much per acre as adjoining farms
equally good. To illustrate: A farm
of 200 acres, 100 of which are improved,
received careful treatment and above
the average condition of farms in the
vicinity, has a cash income of from
5000 to $500 yearly rs the result of the
work of two men. An adjoining farm
of 40 acres, with the same labor, aver
ages about $500. A river farm of 40
acres, with a little more work, gives
about $1,000. Small holdings, diversity
of crops and profitable prices will more
than double cur production without
any increase in the area of improved
land. France, with nine times our pop
ulation to the square mile, produced
over eight bushels of wheat per capita
for the five years ending with 1897.
Our production for the same period was
but little more than seven bushels per
capita,

BOTTLES OF POISON.
Beauties of Ancient Phoenicia
and Greece.

Modern jewellers have been accus-
toned to rely to a large extent upon
the ideas of ancient artificers for the
designs of to-day. Indeed, many of the
most popular designs in jewelry to-day
are derived from very remote antiqui
ty, as, for example, the bracelet made
in the shape of a coiled serpent. At
the Metropolitan museum of art in New
York city there is a great collection of
ancient jewelry, much of it in gold rich
ly adorned with precious stones. Jewel
ers in the metropolis frequently visit
the museum for the purpose of obtain
ing suggestions. This collection at the
Metropolitan museum is in fact the
finest assemblage of antique objects of
personal ornaments in existence. Some
of them date as far back as 900 B. C.
Those of them which are made of silver
have been practically destroyed by oxi-
6ation, but the gold ones being cleaned
are as bright and new-looking as they
were $500 or 5000 years ago. The
jewelry from Cyprus is the work of an
cient Phoenicians and Greeks. One
thing very noticeable is the frequency
of tiny gold bottles attached to objects
of jewelry derived from those ancient
times. All evidence points to the con-
clusion that they were employed to hold
poison; for in those days life was by
no means secure, and at any time an
emergency might arise where a man or
woman would be glad to end existence
promptly, to escape lifelong imprison-
ment or indescribable torture by the
horrible means used 10y the ancients.-

Cracks in the Flooring.

To stop the cracks in the flooring the
following plan is recommended: Gather
up all the letters from the waste-paper
basket until there is big bag full
enough to stuff a couple of soft cush-
ions. Set the idle or the willing mem
bels of the family to shred into bits the
paper harvest. This accomplished, pile
the tatters into pot with water and
Aook it. To every quart of paper and
water add handful of gum arabic and
let the whole simmer to an intensely
thick cream. The sequence is easily
guessed. The mixture must be put
hot in the cracks, well packed and neat
ly smoothed down. When cold it is
ready for coat of floor paint, and as
hard as the rest of the boards, for it
is really nothing more nor less than
papier mache, and everyone knows
what tough article that is.

four inches wide and six feet long.
Fastened to the center is a tongue, b.,
with wooden braces to keep it firmly
at right angles with a. At each end OF
the strip, a, is detachable runner.
The center runner, c, is attached to the
tongue. 1t will be explained later.

Two stick pins, pair of fancy collar
buttons and a gold chain to which is
attached small purse are amply sufii-
cient to wear with a shirt waist and
skirt, without mention of the belt with
its jeweled buckle.
Stick pins in the shape of hearts and
crowns are the vogue, and one sees
them designed in turquoises, pearls,
rhinestones, emeralds and garnets.
Diamond chips set in around the edge
of the collar button make pretty col
lar set, and the stones to match the
stick pins are strung at frequent inter
walls upon the purse chain. Or it is some
times composed entirely of stones, while
the purse is a delicate network of fine
gold or silver threads.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and feverS
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
