How to Hang a Hammock,

How many know how to hang a
hammock so that the head will be
at comfortable height and re
main comparatively stationary
while swinging? There is a
"know-how" about hammock
hanging besides merely tying it
so firmly that it cannot break
down. A hammock hung accord
ing to rule should be six and a
quarter feet from the ground at
the head and three and three
quarters above the ground at the
foot end. The rope that secures
the head end should be less than
II inches and that at the foot
should measure four and half
feet. Arranged in this way the
lower part will swing freely and
the head be kept comfortable by
being nearly stationary.

at least and also in Canada and
England. But in Germany and
France single beds are the rule.
The latter plan is more healthful

coming into use in this country.
Single beds involve more linen,
more work making beds and
more washing, but | never knew
q family to return to the old plan
after once giving single beds a
fair trial. Especially in summer
is the single bed to be preferred,
or even sleeping on the floor, to
two in bed. Many families de-
clare they never knew what com
fort was, during the hot summer
nights, until they adopted the
single beds. l might add a word
Of protest against allowing babies
or young children to sleep with
old people. The latter certainly
draw upon the vitality of the for

between any bedfellows one of
whom is sickly or less strong
than the other. Consumption and
other diseases have often been
communicated from one bedfel
low to another. Good House

Let me see. 1t is Z o'clock.
Well, he has just finished putting
the dishes away, and at this mo-

Come, let's go out and see if I'm
not right. "
They started through the din

in it's place, asprophesied. In the
pantry the dishes were neatly ar

Then they opened the kitchen

was almost knocked down by a
young man who rushed out
through the swinging doors. In

laughing and holding something
in his hand.
"Whatis the matter?" be asked.
"Why, that fellow, who just
rushed out so wildly brought this
watch and wanted $40 on it. He
said he had bought it for $40. 1t
