SHADE FOR cULTIvAToR.
An Arrangement which Prevents
Workers In the Field from Being
Overcome by the Heat.

Buy q large, strong cotton umbrella
having a stout handle, without knob or
hook at the end. Take two-by-four
about three feet long and bore a hole
little larger in diameter than the
handle of the umbrella in the center
of the board and about two-tbirds
through. Take block (two-by -four)
foot long and bore a corresponding
hole through its center and spike to
the first in such way that the holes
will correspond. Take another block
somewhat shorter and do likewise with
it, thus making a hole six inches deep.
This is used as a socket for the UNI
brella handle. by wedging it can be
held firmly in place.
The shade is now ready to be mounted
on the cutivator. Much depends on the
kind of frame the cultivator has as to
the mole of attaching it. There is such
variety of cultiyators that il would
be useless 10 describe any particular
one. In almost every case, however, the
machines are put up in such way that
by taking two-by-four corresponding
in length to the longest of the stand
ards, boring half-ineh holes in the end
of each and putting in bolts six or eight
inches in length the device can be Sc
curely fastened. Set the standard in
the desired position across the frame.
Then beneath the frame put the second

EXTEMPORE PREACHING.
Young Minister Who Got Through
His First Sermon In Twelve
Minutes.

The experience of a young clergyman
not long since in preaching his first ser
mon in the space of eight minutes re-
calls an incident told by an eminent
preacher to the students of theolog-
zeal seminary in this city some years
ago. Perhaps the young man first re-
ferred to had heard the story. At all
events, it is said that he acted as the
other did under similar circumstances.
Until you have had experience in
preaching said the speaker, in effect,

method. | remember case of my

should be built on the same pitch as the
perches and from one and one-half to
two feet below the perches. At the sides
of the coop, where the floor joins the
side, long box reaching the entire
length and about foot wide is placed
to catch the droppings from the
perches.
The opening for cleaning this box can
be made at the end, if it is not too long.
One end of the box can be elevated
couple of feet above the open end, thus,

can be put in, but two will prove suffi-

There may be some other mode that

so, use it. The main idea is to have a
shade. 1t is folly to endanger life and
health by overheating and sunstroke

JUSTICE IS NOT ALWAYS BLIND
A SolOm0n-LiI&e Decision by Penn
syIVania Magistrate Over
Dog.

Squire Henry Grelle, of Beltzhoover,
Pa, does not like lawyers. He believes
that they stir up too much trouble by
dragging musty old books into his of
flee and insisting that he follow the
precedents they dig from them. He
has the full approval of his constitu-
ents. His justice is the sort that is
equitable between man and man, and
not that misnamed stuff that depends
on the technicaliIies of law books for a
standard.
One of Squire Grelle's early cases was
brought against a friend of his, who
was accused of cruelty to animals. The
man had been bothered by vicious
dog, and he shot at it. The bullet cut
piece off its tail, but did no other
harm. The trial attracted a large
crowd. There was conflicting evidence
as TO the dog. Some of the witnesses
said it was a gentle animal and others
declared that it ought to be killed.
Il will reserf my decision until next
weeg," said the squire, after he had
heard the testimony.
lie was not satisfied as to the dog,
and, while he had the case under con
sidcration, he made some inquiries in
the neighborhood. He learned that the
dog was bad. But the manning of it
by depriving it of part of its tail was
undoubtedly cruel act, and he did not
sec how he could get over that, even to
favor his friend.
When the day came for him to give
his decision, it was evident to the
crowd that had gathered in his Office
that he had made up his mind. He called
the defendant up.
You admit shooting this dog" he
asked
"Yes, do, squire, but the dog is"
Dot will do; sid down. And he
called the owner of the dog forward.
"Your dog is bad dog he said TO
him.
NO, he isn't, squire" said the man.;
hes as gentle as"
Dot will do. Sid down. ] hat my
mind made up. / fine de defendant one
dollar and costs for shooting dot dog. >
There was applause from the side of
the room on which the friends of the
dog were gathered.
Order! Order!' commanded the
squire. Il hat not vinished. / will fine
de defendant one dollar and costs for
shooting dot dog. but will gif him one
more shot at de dog. "-Pittsburgh

Gagged ANIMAL COMBATS.
Beasts I'm Confinement Sometimes
Fight to the Death In sheer
DcviIment.

Fights in sheer devilment sometimes
take place between animals in confine-
ment. A short, sharp battle took place
in Edmonds' menagerie between lion
and tiger just 40 years ago. The lion
was the same which had escaped from
Jamrach's yard in what was then Rat
cliff Highway and bitten a boy. Mr..
Edmonds bought it, and is said to have
billed it as "the tiger that swallowed
the child" OF course, the beast was
great draw, but after a few days in its
new quarters the tiger managed to
draw forward the sliding shutter and
squeeze itself into the adjoining den,
where lion was confined. The lion re-
scented the intrusion, but was imme-
diately seized by the throat, and,
though there were tremendous strug-
giles. the fight was practically over as
soon as it commenced. The tiger never
loosed its hold and in a few minutes
the lion was dead. About 90 years later
a fatal fight took placedn the lion house
Of the Geological gardens, Regents
park, between a tiger and a tigress. The
latter was ill-tempered, and, in spar
ring with her mate, drove her claw
through his nostril, and so began the
fray. The tiger threw her down, and
struck her several times with his paw,
but without doing serious damage,
then turning away as if to discontinue
the fight. This the tigress would not
suffer, for she sprang at his flank and
fixed her teeth in his thigh. This was
more than he could stand. One wild
bound freed him; in a moment she was
knocked over, and he gripped her by the
neck, in which his huge canine teeth
made fearful wounds. Sutton, the
keeper, now managed to drive him off,
and he used to say that when the tiger
loosed his hold the blood spouted from
his victims neck and splashed on the
roof of the lofty den.-Cassells Maya

HIS COURAGE FAILED.
He Was Brave Enough Until He
Faced Mary Ann, Then He
WiIted,

1t is the proud boast of Archie Bruce that
he is a lineal descendant Of the great Scot
fish hero. and, as becomes a man of his
blood, he prides himself on his courage. For
several months there has been in his family
a servant who has completely terrorized
his wife, the latter being the victim and
not the commander of her nerves. There
was a terrible row between mistress and
maid last Saturday, and on Monday morn
ing Mrs Bruce said to her husband
Archie, cannot stand Mary Jane any
longer. Won't you please discharge her be
fore you go to business this morning? You
know how afraid of her ! am"
Certainly, replied Mr.. Bruce with suave
courage, certainly. The crossest creature
that ever cracked a cup or cleaned kettle
cannot COW me"
The valiant Archibald sometimes sur.
prises himself and his friends by floating
along on a stream of ALTERATION. Proeur-
ing his hat and coat, he descended to the
basement kitchen, and in stentorian tones
bravely addressed the servant:

And to Mr.. Nestoyn's picnic went
Miss Helen Montgomery. So did the

croft and her two pretty sisters, and
the whole set of Mr.. Nestoyn's bache-
Tor friends, and everyone OF them had
either a sister or niece, who we're each

The weather, like everything else at
that picnic, was all that it should be,

when the seasons Change.

The emperor of China has some
strange duties. One of these is the or
dering of the seasons. 1T is summer in
America when the sun warns the earth,
and not till then, but in China it is
summer when the emperor says it is
summer. AS soon as the emperor de-
clares that summer has come, every
body in China puts off winter clothing,
and arrays himself in summer garb, no
matter what his feelings say on the
subject. All domestic arrangements
are made to suit the season, as pro-
claimed by the emperor, although they
NAV not suit the individual at all. The
nearest approach to the Chinese custom
of ordering the seasons is the practice
observed in France in all public build
ings. There it is winter on and after
October /. Fires are then lighted in all
government offices, and the servants
exchange their white summer waist
coats for the thicker and darker ones
of winter. At that date the public Ii
braries are closed at four and in the
streets the sellers of roasted chestnuts
make their appearance. In official
France it is winter, no matter what the
weather may say, and no matter what
unofficial France may think.-Y Youths
Companion.
