When none hurl hate nor hurt fellow

HOW TO HANG A HAMMOCK.

straight arrangement leaves ii too un-
a4ahle for security.
The four positions shown in the draw
ing provide for clear space between
the lowest part of the hammock and
the floor of about 10 inches. II Is a
common error to suppose that the head
of hammack should he fastened at
the same height as the foot, or higher.
The best way is to keep the ring at the
foot end from three To five inches high
er than that at the head. When the
hammock is stretched out nearly
straight the difference may he kept
down Co three inches. Four makes n
fair medium. But with good deal of
curvature. the fastening at the foot
ought to be five inches above the head
fastening. The reason for this Is that
when the head end is elevated, the
whole body tends 10 slide down in the
hammock. What is called position of
equilibrium In which the body
will remain where II is Is one in which
the hips rest AZ the lowest point. II
the head seems too low, under these cir
cumstnnces. IT should be hoistered with
~ pillow. y. Y. Tribune.
