A Trick of the Camera.

One Of the many camera tiends OF
this city has recently been showing his
friends a very unusual photograph of
himself, caught in the act of falling
from, a ladder, and seeming to be a
winning candidate for broken neck.
In spite of the fact that the injury seems
80 certain the tumbler's face wears a
CHEEKY smile, and on close inspection
may be seen to be winking his eye mis-
chievously at you as well as the force
Of gravity. In reply to questions he ex-
planned that that was an accomplish
ment acquired only after long practice.
F'I could pose for that picture all day
long with no serious injury to myself,
except waste of time and little ply
sical fatigue, be insisted But the less
credulous Of his friends refused to be-
heve that he took pleasure in such
acrobatic performances, and finally he
had to tell the whole story.
"It's all very simple. First you place
your camera in some way about 10 or
12 feet from the floor, with the lens
pointing downward. A picture taken
with it in this position will make the
floor appear to be side wall. Lay a
sheet of white cloth, on the floor and
then arrange your ladder and yourself
upon this sheet, and the posing is done.
A strip of carpet tackled to the wall and
a couple of chairs deftly arranged adds
to the illusion, but the whole thing is
SO simple that am ashamed of myself
for explaining it to you instead of maxi
ing you think it out for yourself. -

About m Even rhine.

A well known member of the Detroit
bar tells this story: "Some years ago I
attended session Of the circuit court
up in the state. A pro confesso divorce
case was called and itso happened that
the judge was very much opposed to di-
vorces, especially those which were un-
opposed. After the attorney for the
complainant in this case had announced
himself as ready to proceed, the judge
asked if any one appeared for the de-
fendant. There was silence for a mo-
ment, and the judge repeated the ques-
tion. At one end Of the lawyers table
sat an attorney who had acquired the
liquor habit and who was at the time
considerably under the influence Of
stimulants. He was noticed struggling
to get on his feet, and, on observing
him, the judge seized the opportunity
to ask:
DO you appear for the defendant,
Mr.. BlankP
=" No, your honor. I merely rose to
remark, as 'tfriend of the court" that
with Brother Doubleblank as attorney
for the complainant and no one on the
other side it was about an even thing. .
"'Then Blank resumed his seat while
the whole court roared with laughter"

II Was the Right Letter.

John was a bashful lover and had
been calling on Mary for three years,
but that was as far as he got until, Wis
iting st. Louis on business, he found
himself detained beyond the expected
time.
He had to write to Mary, explaining
his absence on the usual evening, and,
while writing, the courage he had SO
long lacked came to him and he made
point blank proposal of marriage. He
mailed the letter, and for two hours
was one of the happiest men in Mis-
souri,.
Then he began to believe he had been
precipitate and was assailed with doubt
as to how his letter would be received.
That night he didn't sleep. He thought
all sorts Of things, and vainly wished
he could intercept the letter before it
reached her But that was manifestly
impossible.
It was not until noon the next day
that he received an inspiration as he
was passing telegraphofice. Rushing
in, he seized a blank and neryously
penned the following:
Miss Mary -, Chicago:
Mailed you wrong letter yesterday. Please
do not open, and deliver to me on my return.
After that he breathed freer, at the
same time wondering if he hadn't
played the fool in not letting the mat
ter stand. That evening a telegram was
awaiting him at the hotel. 1t read:
John -, st. Louis:
No; you mailed right letter. 1t was about
time.
And John didn't allow business to
interfere with his return to Chicago. -

The Foot of a Horse.

The foot Of horse is one Of the most
ingenious and unexampled pieces of
mechanism in animal structure. The
hoof contains a series Of vertical and
thin lamin@ Of horn, amounting to
about 500 and forming complete lin
ing to it. In this are fitted as many
lamin@ belonging to the coffin bone,
while both sets are elastic and adherent.
The edge of quire of paper, inserted
leaf by leaf into another, will convey a
sufficient idea of the arrangement.
Thus the weight Of the animal is sup
ported by as many elastic springs as
there are lamin@ in all the feet,
amounting to about 1000, distributed
in the most secure manner, since every
spring is acted on in an oblique direc-
tion.

These boards should be 2 by and cut
right length to reach, as shown in il
lustration. Where the wing benches
&C intersect these boards they should
be beveled, as shown at E, making a
stronger and better fit. The side boards
or wings are the same length as the
stills and should be l by 8, and are
nailed and bolted to benches &C.
The end rollers, GG, are made of 8
by stuff and fitted into Q inch holes
in the ends of the sills. The rollers
should be mortised to receive the end
gate or ladder standing, as shown in
the cut, and mortised loose enough SO
the end gates can be removed at will
and higher standards erected for hay
ing purposes. The illustration shows
end gates for hog rack, and the dotted
lines continued out show ladder ar
rangements for hayrack, which are
made separate and changed at will to
convert it into hog rack or hayrack.
AS hog rack, box to haul stove
wood, draintile, pumpkins, etc., the
wings are erected into the clips shown
on side of sills, the bottom hoored over,
end gates erected into mortises in roll
ers and hooked to staples in the side
boards or wings. This makes a nice
large box and convenient hog rack.

down wagon, it makes an excellent feed

Methods of Growing Them and Pre-
tecting From Insects.


Methods of Growing Them and Pres
tecting From Insects.
Place from 10 to 30 seeds in each hill
to insure against failure in termination,
insect troubles, etc. They should al
ways be planted sidewise or fiat for best
results IN germinattion. T Press them inte
the soil, covering not over one inch in
depth. By frming the soil in the usual
way with the back of the hoe germina-
tion is hastened. Cultivation must be
continued, both to coed depth and at
comparatively frequent intervals. As
the plants grow larger lessen it, and
when the foliage covers most of the
area stop it altogether. The amount of
hand hoeing depends upon the weedi-
ness Of the ground, but should be re-
sorted to at least every week or ten
days at first to keep the plants growing.
After heavy, dashing rains or in ex-
tremely dry weather slight amount Of
hoeing loosens the soil
AS soon as the plants are sufficiently
established thin them to four plants in
hill Pruning or pinching off the end
of the vine is often resorted to when
the plants are fey feet in length in
order to force out the lateral growth,
which bears the fruit. This is seldom
practiced, however, by large growers
1t is also advisable to remove all fruit
that sets too late to mature in order to
strengthen the others. The foregoing
cultural points are presented by Pro-
fessor F. w. Rane in The Rural New
Yorker, where he also advises as follows
about insects:
Insects are sometimes very trouble
some, especially the small yellow leaf
beetles, the striped cucumber beetle,
yellow with black stripes, and the spot
ted cucumber beetle, yellow with 10
black spots on its back. These insects
live over winter under leaves, rubbish,
etc. and begin their attacks as soon as
the first two cotyledonous leaves make
their appearance. They are very active,
and if the vines are neglected even for
day when the insects are numerous
they will be practically destroyed. By
literally spreading tobacco dust upon
and around the plantlets as soon as the
insects make their appearance they may
be kept off. The dust may be purchased
from seedsmen.
Another insect liable to be trouble
some is the common squash bug. The
best remedy is to hand pick and destroy
it in the cooler portions Of the day. If
boards are placed about the hills, the
bugs will take refuge under them. The
eggs, which are usually laid in clusters
on the leaves, are also easily destroyed.
Worms and insects do more or less
damage by working into the melon
where the fruit comes in contact with
the ground. To overcome this place
something under the fruit-small pieces
Of board, stones, etc. Mildew sometimes
affects both the leaves and fruit. For
this spray with the bordeaux mixture.

Manure on sugar Reet lama.

We have been taught that farm ma
nures should not be applied to land in
the spring prior to growing a crop Of
sugar beets, and that the use Of large
quantities of nitrogenous fertilizers is
antagonistic to high quality. Expert
ments on the station farm at Geneva,
New York. do not support these conclu-
sions. On the station farm, beets grown
on land to which was applied in the
spring ten cords per acre Of barn ma
nure were as whole richer than those
with or without commercial fertilizers,
were healthier and in appearances were
q nors satisfactory crop. Large addi-
tions Of nitrogen, as nitrate Of soda and

A Surprise In Potato Fertilizing.

This surprise awaited the Investigator
at the Geneva IN. Y. station in potato
tests with different amount of potash in
otherwise equivalent fertilizer mix
lures: Notwithstanding the large
quantity Of potash taken from the soil
by potato tubers, so pounds in 200
bushels, the crops on the four farms in
these tests seemed to find sufficient
supply of this element in the natural
soil, for the plats receiving only nitro
gen and phosphoric acid averaged slight
ly more than those receiving one-third
or two-thirds the full amount of potash
per acre and only a fraction of bushel
less than that receiving the entire 100
pounds.
