KEEPING STABLES CLEAN.
A Vermont Dnirymnn's Idea Which
Seems to Possess Many Really
Valuable Features.

An article concerning the cleanliness
of cows confined in stables, leads me to
submit an idea which l have followed
with much satisfaction in my own sta
bles, thinking some of your readers
might profit by the same.
The platforms on which the cows
stand have a gentle slope, are four feet
five inches long, terminating in rather
deep gutter. The managers are cut low
and each animal is fastened by a strap
around the neck, which is attached to
short bit of chain running up and
down an iron rod fixed to the back of
the manger. A partition extending
about one-fourth the width of the plat
form effectually separates the animals.
In front of the hangers runs long

deep, having a slight pitch. Water is

MRS. LETITIA SEMPLE.
Daughter of President Tyler, Who
Once Was Mistress of the White
House, Sti1I Living.

Living in the big brick building
known as the Louisa home in Wash
ington is white-haired woman who
was the mistress of the white house
more than half century ago. BY
the world at large her existence has
been forgotten, nor would the men
ton of her name, Mrs. Letitia Semple,
recall any memory to the ordinary
reader. 1t was as Letitia Tyler that
she first became known to Washing
ton society in the days when the Cap
itol city was scarcely more than a
country village, containing a few fine
public buildings separated by long
stretches of bottomless mud. She was
the second daughter of President John
Tyler, and she was a Virginia belle in
the days when that was the clearest
title to beauty that could be bestowed
in this country. Tyler's administra-
ton seems a long way back to most
of us. 1t seems strange to think that
this serene-faced old woman, who is
still active and vigorous, knew and
talked with Webster and Clay and Cal
houn and the other leaders of that
period which was so pre- life of great
men. Webster she saw often. and de-
scribes him as a man of imposing pres
ence which made its power felt in any
assembly.
AT the time of our coming to Wash
ington," said Mrs. Semple, in recall
ing her white house experiences of so
years ago, my mothers health was
too poor to admit of her taking active
charge of the duties naturally devolv-
ing upon the wife of the president.
My elder sister and had our newly
made homes in Virginia to supervise,
and my youngest sister was only a
child. Therefore by common consent
the wife of our brother Robert became
the mistress of the white house so far
as the public side of the life there was
concerned. However, my other sister
and myself were there a good part Of
the time. This arrangement contin-
ued until after my mothers death,
which occurred in the white house
Then my brother established himself

WINDOW GARDENING.
A Charming Home Occupation ana
Recreation for Lovers OF Plant
Life and Beauty.

Winter Towering plants may be
grown better in boxes than in small
pots. Window boxes used outside in
summer may be brought in the house
in winter if the precaution is taken to
make them water tight with zinc or
galvanized iron. Leave a hole in the
bottom of the lining to draw off the
surplus water. The boxes may be
placed on brackets or hung with wires
screwed into the window frame, or
placed on the sill.
Any of the plants commonly grown
in the house can be planted in the box.
Geraniums of any sort, heliotrope,
fuchsias and begonias make good va
riety, while fern or two gives dainty,
tasty effect different from other
plants. Or the box may be filled with
ANIMALS grown from seed. Petunias,
phlox, sweet alyssum, nasturtiums and
a sprig of mignonette will give variety
of bloom all winter.
At the ends may be planted morn
ing glories and trained up each side

be soon completed. Several years ago
the Pennsylvania general assembly ap-
propriated a like sum for the purpose,
on condition that the Terrapin state
would defray the other half of the Si0,-
600 required.
When it is remembered that this
boundary line between the two states
was marked 133 years ago, and that
stone posts then set up have never been
repaired where injured or replaced
where destroyed, it is seen that the
work of restoration is a matter of ne
cessity. In fact, comparatively few of
the original posts remain, and those
which still stand have been sadly
Clipped by the ubiquitous relic hunter.
1t is curious to note that every trans
action connected with this boundary
has been carried out only after pro-
tracted delays. There was much se-
rious contention about it in England
long before Richard Penn and Lord
Baltimore agreed in London, in 1896,
that Charles Mason and James Dixon
should be sent over to survey and estab-
lish the line with visible and dura BILE
marks. 1t was no easy task. The ter
ritory to be traversed was wild and
rough, and the Indians were trouble
ssme. In fact, in 1867, when the sur
veyors had completed the monuments
to within 80 miles of the Delaware line,
the chiefs of the still powerful Six Ma
tions compelled its cessation.
The stones used to mark the
boundary were quarried and carefully
cut in England and shipped TO Amer
lea as they were required. AT the end
of each mile a stone having the letter
P on one side and NJ on the other was
set up; and larger post of the same
material was erected at the end OF
every fifth mile, having upon their re-
spective sides the arms of the Penn
family and those of Lord Baltimore.
But it was not until 1867 that they
ended their labors, and even then good
deal of the line was signalized only by
heaps of stones.

of the window. English ivy is also a
good ne to use, but h is without flow
ers. In a cool room carnations, violets
and pansies may be grown, while roses
could be handled successfully in a
kitchen where there were heat and
moisture. Tradescantia or Wandering
Jew can be planted along the edge to
hang over the sides, or the box may be
covered with pretty colored paper or
drapery.
Shelves fill up a window so much
that the men do not like plants in the
house. In brick or stone houses, with
the deep window castings, an arrange

be adopted. If there is not room in the
casing, series of brackets might be
fastened along the side, and the plants
receive nearly the full benefit of sun
without obstructing the light.-Farm

EXERCISE FOR WOMEN.
1t Imparts to the Outline of the Fig
ure Graceful Contours and
beauty to the Face.

In Sandow's book on physical culture
he devotes a chapter to women. He
says: Il am quite aware that there is a
very widespread notion that exercise
tends to coarsen and render a woman
unbeautiful, but that is absolutely
false. Were there any truth in it
should indeed despair of converting my
fair readers to my way of thinking, for
truly it is woman's mission to look
beautiful. But the idea is absurd; ma
ture, which intended woman to look
lovely, also intended her to be healthy;
indeed, the two are practically synony-
nous.
''Of course, improper, violent and
one-sided exercise will naturally result
in making a woman clumsy, heavy and
ungraceful, but proper exercise, hav-
ing for its object symmetrical and per-
feet development, will have an exactly
contrary effect. Curiously enough, the
visible effect of proper exercise upon a
woman's muscles is not precisely the
same as upon those of man. Regular
and gradually progressive exercise will
not make woman's muscles prom
inent, but will cause them to grow firm
and round, and impart to the outline of
the figure those graceful contours
which are so universally admired.
without well-conditioned muscle
the most beautifully proportioned wom-
an in the world will look comparatively
shapeless and fiabby; her muscles are
not required to show up as in the case
of mans, but they must be there all
the same, us a solid foundation for the
everything flesh. Take woman's arm,
for instance. If it has been duly ex-
ercised and developed, it is easy enough
to see that its shapeliness and good
modelling are due to the muscles; white
and soft though the skin may be, you
can tell at a glance that it is firm and
elastic to the touch. On the other hand,
the arm of the woman who has never
exercised the muscles betrays the fact
Enthusiastically; it may be plump and
round, but its lines are lacking in
beauty, its movements in grace, and SO
with the figure generally"

introduced at the upper end and kept
constantly though slowly running
throughout the day. After milking, it
is shut off and the trough emptied
through two-inch lead pipe leading
into hopper-like box, for the purpose
of catching any particles of feed that
would otherwise tend to obstruct the
waste thing pipe which cares for the
regular overflow. The trough is then
scrubbed out with a stiff brush and
flushed with clean water, so that it is
always sweet and clean. The overflow
pipe is also two inches, so that any or
dinary piece of fodder will slip through.
By this arrangement the animals
have clean fresh water three times
daily in quantities that satisfy but do
not chill them, without the expense and
labor of heating, or using the rather
expensive individual tubs, with their
complicated valves, that from time to
time have appeared on the market.
AT regular intervals of about Is feet,
near the back of the managers, are the
upright posts supporting the upper
stories of the barn.
IL L bOAbSbs hs
pieces of two by four-inch sticks, one
bolt in each stick, which permits it to
play easily up and down. To these
sticks are fastened lengthwise strips of
seven-eighths inch spruce four inches
wide. By means of pulleys in the cell
ing, through which run sash cord, these
frames are easily raised and lowered.
When they are down, the free end rests
at an angle on the top of the manger,
forcing the animal back so that any ex-
crement is deposited in the gutter and
not on the platform.
The end of the frame, which is bolted
to the upright barn post, is placed at
such height that while il admits of
the animals stepping forward so as to
reach all parts of the manger, on rails
ing her head she comes in contact with
the frame and naturally steps back.
With the arrangement of the pulleys
before mentioned, it is no trouble to
raise the frame work for feeding and
watering. The wafer trough is supplied
with sectional cover which is kept on
at all times save when watering. The
illustration may make the idea clearer.

Rotation OF Garden Crops.

1t is sometimes claimed that garden
becomes too rich and that it produces
an enormous growth of vine, with but
little seeds or fruit. The difficulty is
that the garden contains an excess of
some kind of plant food. Rotate the
crops or make garden in a new loca-
ton, growing corn, potatoes and cab
bage successfully on the old location,
when it may be used as a garden plat
again. 1t is doubtful, however, if gar
don can be too rich.
