But that wasn't the end of it.
Granny Jerks said very little. Sh>

her things to eat and wear as usual.
She frequently "yarned" by the houl

stove. She did not mention the money,
but she seemed so happy at not going to
the poorhouse the boys were quite sat

being thanked for anything, anyhow.

Granny would listen and nod her head
and chuckle in her queer old way. But
she would say little. And one day she
said nothing. They found her asleep
in the comfortable rocker the boys
money had bought her. before her little
fire and with the stubby pipe in her
quiet fingers. And when charitable
hands prepared her for her last home,
where there was no more dread of the
poorhouse forever, they found hidden

First pass the string a second time

your fingers from each other, quickly

fall into the hand, with which you can
quickly cover 1t before it leaves the

WHY DO WE wAlTq

Why do we wait till ears are deaf
Before we speak our kindly Word,
And only utter loving praise
When not whisper can be heard?
Why do we wait till hands are laid
Close-folded, pulseless, ere We place
Within them roses sweet and rare.
And lilies in their fiawless grace?
Why do we wait till eyes are sealed
To light AMI love in DEATHS deep
Dear, wistful eyes-before we bend
Above them with impassioned glance!
Why do we wait till hearts are still
To tell them all the love in ours,
And give them such late need Of praise,
And lay above them fragrant flowers?
How oft we, careless, wait till life's
Sweet opportunities are past,
And break our 'alabaster box
OF ointment at the very last!
o! let US heed the living friend
Who walks with us like common
ways,
Watching our eyes for look of love,
And hungering for word of praise!

turn the ring to the string without re-

the string, as in the first trick, around

Here is another very simple trick:

where it crosses itself, and holding it

string second time over your head. !.
To do this first drop the cord from
both. hands for a moment, and In taking
hold of it again let your hands ex-
change places, being careful to have
the string which is uppermost where it
crosses in your mouth remain upper
most, SO that what appears to be a sec
ond crossing of the string will be really
its increasing; now throw the rest of
the cord over your head, and though
you seem to be encircled by a double
cord, draw both sides backward as in
figure 8, releasing the string from your
still closed mouth in what seems quite
a marvellous way. You will find your
self disentangled, and the string still
tied together as in the beginning, and
ready for numberless more wonders

each dolly. As their mistresses they

Natures Kitchens.

In Iceland to cook food in the geysers
is regular portion of the tourist pro-
gram. Tea is infused with water from
the Great Geyser, and trout is boiled in
the Blesi, or hot-water pond, which sud-
denly ceased to erupt after the Shaptar-
Jokull. conyulsion Of 1854. They re-
quire to be immersed for about twenty
minutes to be cooked to turn. In the
Yellowstone country a story is told of
a fisherman who, having caught fine
trout, merely turned on his heel and,
without taking his captive off the line,
plunged it into pool of hot water,
from which In short time he drew it
ready for his meal, reminding us of
Lord Loyat, the Jacobite, who, when
luncheon time approached, betook HIM
self to fall on his estate famous for
its leaping salmon, and placed cal
dron of boiling water in such position
that a fish missing its spring would
tumble into the pot.

screw bolts enable the looped rods to
hold the gate when let down. When
the hand bolts are screwed up tightly
on the rod, they will hold the gate when
closed, for ordinary occasions, but
hooks may be quickly attached to hold
it still more securely. The gate will
afford platform for the farmer to
stand on when starting to scoop up the
corn as well as prove very advantage

Hanly Helps in Butchering.
To clean and carry hog with ease
use short ladder (about six feet long
will do) and place legs about a foot long
! under each end. Place a little tar in
the scalding water, and the hog will
clean easier. For good hog scraper
take piece of an old grass scythe
about four inches in length, with edge
rather dull. In place of scalding
trough a large cask laid in slanting
position will answer the purpose almost
as well. Two. good rails placed in a
slanting position against a building is
the simplest method of hanging hog
easily.
To clean pork barrel that is tainted
and has bad smell about it wash it out
as clean as you can, then whitewash it
with fresh Stacked lime. Let the barrel
dry. and it is ready for use. The lime
will not hurt the meat at all-Kansas

When corn has been loaded on wag-
on, it is veTy unhandy to shovel off at
first until the bottom of the wagon box
has been reached, says an exchange.
To overcome this difficulty different
methods are followed, such as laying
one end of long, wide board on the
end gate of the wagon and the other
on the floor of the box before loading
and shoveling on the board till the bot
tom of the box is to be got at, but the
extending end gate, shown in the pic
ture. will be found among the best of
these expedients. 1t is fastened to the
bed of the box by strap hinges which
are sunk into the wood so as not to in
terfere with the shovel. The gate is
made wide enough to allow the side
pieces to be outside of the box. Iron
straps hold the side pieces secure on
the gate. A rod of one-quarter inch
iron looped in the manner shown in the
cut is attached ON each side. Thumb
