should be made Of two strands Of wire
twisted together by means of II small
rod until they are very tight If there
is 4 tcnGercy TO loosen, the wire can be
further twisted and the slack taken
up ip this way. THIS matter of end
braces is very important and If the soil
is soft or Il there is any danger Of their

posts ard set them in the ground deep
cr, say three and half 20 four feet.
To unroll the wire, place n tough
pole four feet long through the spool
and lay it across the wagon bed, sc
that the wire will roll of the top OF
the spool. Stick small standards in
the staple at each side OF the bed to
keep the spool from rolling off. Take
out the erd gate. fasten the wire TO the
end post at the required height and
drive the team slowly, watching 10 see

backward. Fasten one end of a chain
to the spoke of the hind wheel next

chain to the wire, Row turn the wheel
by hand and wind the chainup on the
hub until the wire is tight, ard then

Dfsulphi6e of Carbon.

1nhaling bisulphide Of carbon Is
death to anything that moves. It can
be used safely and with certainty OF
accomplishing the desired results, II the
infected regions are air tight. Its ap-
plication does not injure corn. wheat
or other grain, as it is very volatile and
soon passes of, leaving no traces. tits,
moreover, very infammable and should
never be used in proximity 10 any light
or great heat. It can be used in houses
for killing moths and other vermin,
but the odor generated is something
slckening. It will, however, soon pass
away with the creation Of . dnaft.

THE EMPIRE THEATRE.
" Well Built and SAFE Structure, Declares The
Inspector Of Buildings.

The Empire Theatre, the latest addi-
tion to the list of local play houses and
one of the most attractive and best APP
pointed theatres In New England has
been open to the public for two months
and hts capacity has been tested at each
performance. That II is admiral
adapted 10 the uses 10 which II is de-
voted Is apparent to all who have had
the pleasure of visiting it, Some time
ago idle gossip affecting it's stability
was circulated. but this had no effect
whatever with sensible persons, who
know Messrs. Spitz and Nathanson too
we'll to believe they would take under
their control a theatre that was not in
every way safe and substantial. But if
any further evidence on this point were
needed after a thorough test of two
months ii is furnished by the letter Of
the inspector OF buildings, printed in
another column. in which that official
declares the Empire. 10 be as safe as
any theatre i'm this vicinity.

THE MOTHERS CLUB.
Dr. Emily M. Thurher Spike on the Topic,
Should Girls b Trained for Motherhood.

DR.. Emily NJ. Thurber spoke before
the Mothers Club in the Classical High
school building, yesterday afternoon,
on the subject, should Girls be
Trained for Motherhood?" She was
greeted by one of the largest audiences
ever called out at any meeting of the
club, showing the interest felt by the
mothers and teachers in topic too Of
ten neglected, and too little considered
in these busy days of cramming and
crowding, regardless OF the small
| amount of endurance possessed by the
majority of girls.
Dr. Thurber turned over the ground

! facts and opinions of her own. knowing
that they would meet with adverse crit

| tious mothers who crave an education

| tained at the expense OF health, strength
and comfort i'm the future.
"The tendency OF the times. and es-
pecialy Of this country, is to deba.se the
sacred province OF motherhood" said
| Dr. Thurber. "Why IS II that so many
of our young women are averse to mar
| riage and motherhood? 7 am told re-
! peatedly by these that they have not
! the least desire for IT, on the contrary.
| they would never be willing TO give
birth 10 a chlld. Is this the result OF
their literary training? Has ii robbed
them Of the instinct Of mOtnerly love?
! Have they been educated away from
natures plan? Can you tell me where
I'm lies the fault In their education?
"I believe IL is conceded that Ameri-
can girls, as a rule. are more broadly
educated. more highly cultured. than
those of ether nations. Is this the cause
of their aversion TO motherhood? Pa
rents OF foreign nations teach their
daughters from earliest years to look
forward 20 married life as to the fulfill
