 I send you q sketch of my movable berry shanty, which is much liked by those who have seen it. My berry patch is so rods long and 40 rods wide, with a road running lengthwise through the center feet wide, hence my ob- iect in making a movable shanty. My first step was to go in the woods and cut two straight poles 12 feet long and 6 inches through, and num- Der of small poles 2 inches in diameter.

say that no physician of to-day would
make SO inconsiderate O diagnosis In

chance a distinguished patient were
afflicted with the itch, the sagacious
physician would carefully hide the fact

THE DUKE WAS KIND
A Story Told About the Kindness of
the Duke Of Buccleuch;


The late Duke of Buccleuch, in one
of his walks, purchased a cow In the
neigborheod of Dalkeith, which was to
be sent to his palace on the following
morning. The Duke, in his morning
dress, espied boy Intellectually at
tempting to drive the animal forward
10 its destination. The boy, not know
ing the Duke. bawled out to him:
''Hie, nun, come here an gie's han
wi this beast"
still craving his assistance, and at
last, In u tone of distress, exclaimed:
Come here, nun, an help US, an I'll
gle you half l get" The Duke went
and lent the helping hand.
And now" said the Duke, as they
trudged along 'how much do you
think yen get for this job?"
"Oh, dinna ken." said the boy, but
I'm sure O. something. for the folk up
at the big house are guide to a bod
les"
AS they approached the house the
Duke disappeared from the boy and
entered by different way. Calling a
servant, he put sovereign in his hand,
saying: olive that to the boy who
brought the cow" Tho Duke having
returned to the avenue, was soon re-
Joined by the boy.
"Well, how much did you get?" said
the Duke.
"A shilling" said the boy, AN
there's half o. it t'ye."
But you surely got more than
shilling?" said the Duke.
No" said the boy, that's a l got
and dye no think it's plenty?'
II do not" said the Duke; there
must be some mistake, and as l am ac-
quainted with the Duke, If you return
think I'll get you more"
They went back, the Duke rang the
bell and ordered all the servants to be
assembled
Now" said the Duke to the boy,
point me out the person that gave you
the shilling
1T was that chap there" pointing to
the butler. The butler confessed, and
attempted an apology, but the Duke in
dignantly ordered him to give the boy
the sovereign. You have lost" said
the Duke, your money, your situation
and your character, by your covetous-
ness; learn henceforth that honesty is
the best policy" The boy by this
time recognized his assistant in the
person OF the Duke, says the Weekly
Telegraph, and the Duke was so de-
lighted with the sterling worth and
honesty of the boy that he ordered him
to be sent to school at his expense.

TEXTS ON GOLD LEAF
Why Gold Leaf Is Packed Between
Leaves of the Bible.

People outside of regular dealers In
gold leaf are occasionally surprised
when they purchase books of the ma.
terial to find that the paper leaves be-
tween the sheets of gold have texts
of Scripture printed ON them. Looking
closer they find that the paper leaves
are actually cut from the Bible.
Speaking of this, the head of n Chi
cago firms which deals in gold leaf
said: i
THE gold leaf which is put up In
books made from paper leaves cut
from the Bible comes from England.
There is no intention to be irreyer6nt
in packing the gold leaf in this way.
Most Of 1t goes TO the stores where
they sell artists materials, and is
packed between printed sheets because
the slight indentations in the paper
made by the printing serve to hold the
delicate film of gold in place.
why is 1t that the Bible Is gem
orally used2 Simply for the reason
that the Bible Is usually printed in
small type and is always very evenly
set. and the impression of the type ON
the paper Is very light but enough to
hold the gold leaf in place without in
Juring It, Another book that is used
for the same purpose is the Book of
Common Prayer, the small type edi-
tons, of course. The paper is always
very fine and smooth and when print
ed the leaves are just adapted for the
purpose of holding the gold leaf
The first time | was asked for an
explanation on this point was when |
had n store for the sale of artists ma
tcrials. A gentleman who bought sew
pnl Of tel, l.. a l., o
came to me and asked me If paper was
so scarce where the gold leaf was
made that they had to cut up Bibles
for the purpose of packing the leaf.
He had noticed that the sheets of gold
leaf We're packed between sheets of
printed paper, but paid no attention to
II until his eye caught Scriptural
text that had often puzzled him. 1t
was the passage Iron sharpeneth iron;
so man sharpenoth the countenance
of his friend Then he saw that the
gold leaf was placed between cut-up
pages of the Bible. He seemed to
think that the sheets of the Bible Were
used by some religious manufacturer
who thought some one might be con
verified by reading Il stray text He
said he was almost startled when he
read the text he was puzzling over
and looked disappointed when l ex-
planned in n matter-of fact way why
pages of the Bible were used.
"Once on twice very excellent people
who bought this gold leaf from me
were indignant when they found that
the Bible WAS cut up to hold it, and
told me | should not encourage the
PROCLAMATION by selling that kind of
leaf. Others who We're of n different
temperament said they We're glad to
see 1t, as it might lead to some people
reading texts of Scripture. by glancnig
with curiosity mt the printed sheets,
who never took n Bible in their hands
They held that no matter what form
it took it was Il good thing to circulate
texts of Scripture
