Shoudrrcd woman to allow the dcmi-
decolIciage Of her street bodice TO be
trimmed with any large-pattemed lace

to acccntuatc her size tremendously,
whereas small motifs entering into a de-

wide trimmings, and still not add amy in

On the contrary, rather will it invest
them with dnIicacy evolved entirely
from the lace design Itself.

| them the following: The device which
l most frequently use in land measur-
| ing is shown in the first cut. 1t re-
Quires two pieces of light pine about
~ by 2 inches and seven feet long.
| Lay them down on an even surface in
q position corresponding to the form Of
| the letter V, with the spread ends just
s feet inches apart. Now mark with
| q pencil at the ends where they come
together and, referring to these marks,
make a bevel, or so called miter, in
each, as shown by A. Fit the pieces
together again and make a small hole
in both, through which place bolt to
hold the pieces In the position shown
by B. For convenience use a long
threaded bolt with thumb nut. This
completes the measure.
Its use is very simple. The operator
steps or swings it along, two steps
making, wheI the pieces are set cor
rect distances aLart, 1G1a feet, or one
rod, bearing in mind that the first step
made when starting at corner Of field
is equal to two steps, or a rod, as the
measure, when set up with one point
at edge of field and the other 81 feet
from the edge, has already made the
first step, and therefore when the op-
orator swings it round the first time
he causes it to make the second step.
If desired, the measure can be made Of
pieces about five feet long and with
the points 515 feet apart. Then three
steps are necessary to make rod.
When finished using the measure,
loosen the thumb nut of bolt and swing
the uprights together, as shown by c,
when it will occupy n small space for
transporting from place to place or
storing away. If well made and paint
ed, it will present neat appearance
and last u lifetime.
The measuring wheel shown in the
second cut requires a little longer to
make, but it is the most rapid when in
use. Selecting an old wooden hub from
the wheel of toy wagon, fill it with
light spokes about 311a inches long, ac-
cording to size of hub, so as to make
wheel 81 feet in diameter. Put on
tire OF light hoop iron, fastening 1t with
q small nail to each spoke. Hang the
wheel, with a pin or bolt for axle, be-
tween two light strips three-quartersb by
two inches and four feet long. Between
the strips, close to rim of wheel, place
a block to nail strips to and hold firm,
and at the end of frame put a cross
piece or handle to hold by. The wheel
has a circumference Of 161a feet, and
each revolution makes one rod. Color
one spoke to count by; or, better still,
put a nail or small peg in the spoke,
and on the block in the frame fasten a
thin wooden or steel strip to catch the
nail or peg at each revolution and
make sharp clicking sound, as Illus
trated in diagram B.
To use the measure, start at the edge
Of the field and push the wheel along,
counting the clicks, each click indicat-

subwatering Greenhou.e P1ant..

In Is experiments with lettuce at the
Ohio station 1874 surface watered
plants weighed 286 pounds and the
same number of subwatered plants
nearly 376 pounds, gain of a little
over 81 per cent The subwatered
plants reached marketable size from q
week to ten days earlier than the 9TH
ers. All these plants were subwatered
during about one-half their period of
growth-that is, while in fats. In one
case where plants were carried through
their entire period of growth by the re-
spective methods of watering a gain
of about IN per cent was shown in IA
Sor Of subwatering. At the Ohio State
university subwatered lettuce yielded
20 to 30 per cent more than surface
Watered lettuce. Lettuce rot was very
troublesome on the surface Watered
beds, but did not injure subwatered
plants.

tails Of the vision and all mention of
the scene where George had appeared,
and then declared with a solemnity
and impressiveness that could not be
resisted:
"My dear children, I have not lived

the father I ought to have been. I
have lived very selfish, useless life.

God has spoken to me. 1 am
He broke off suddenly, and, sobbing
as only a strong man can, he drew his
wife toward him and caressed her,
while Bess crept up and put her arms
about her fathers neck.
The terrible suspicion shot into Mrs.
Hardy's mind that her husband was in
sane. The children were terrified. On
ly Alice seemed to catch the reflection
of her mothers thought. At the same
time Mr.. Hardy seemed to feel the sus-
picion held by them.

and saw there the old look Reason,
the noblest of all gifts, shone out of
that noble face, now lighted up with
the old love and standing on the brink
Of the other world. And Mrs. Hardy,
looking her husband in the face, re-
piled:
Eyes, Robert; l believe you. You
may be mistaken in this impression
about the time left you to live, but you
are not insane"
20 God, 1 thank thee for thatw cried
Mr.. Hardy.
Often during the most remarkable
week he ever lived Mr.. Hardy reposed
in that implicit belief of his wife in his
sanity. =
There was pause. Then Mr. Hardy
asked George to bring the Bible. He
then read from Johns gospel that
matchless prayer of Christ in the sew
enteenth chapter, and then kneeling
down he prayed as he had never pray
ed before that in the week allotted him
to live he might know how to bless the
world and serve his Master best. And
when he arose and looked about upon
his wife and children it was with the
look of one who has been into the very
presence chamber Of the only living
God. At the same moment, so fast had
the time gone in the excitement, the
clock upon the mantel struck the hour
of midnight, and the first Of Robert
Hardy's seven days had begun.

Selecting Corn with = Lorpa ca,

Selecting Corn with a Large Germ,
Chemical analysis of the several
parts of the corn kernel has shown
that the germ is richest in proteids,
Therefore choosing a corn in which
the germ is in large proportion is all
that is necessary to insure getting that
which is richer in proteids. Selecting
corn with large germ is not as diff
cult as might be supposed. Take a few
grains from the ear, neglecting the
butt and tip, where they are more or
less distorted In form, with a sharp
pocketknife, begin at the tip of a ker-
mel where it was attached to the cob
and make several cross sections from
one thirty-second to one-sixteenth of an
inch in thickness and observe the rela-
tive proportion of germ that the sec
fion shows. Repeat this on number
Of kernels and make longitudinal Sec
