WATERPROOF WASH.
walls That Have Been Covered with
ItHave Proved Quite Imper-
yfOus to Water.

Use two washes for covering the sur
face, one of CASTLE soap and one OF
alum and water. The proportions are
three-auarters of pound OF soap to
one gallon of water, and half a pound
of alum to four gallons of water, both
substances to be perfectly dissolved In
water before being used. The walls
should be perfectly clean and dry, and
the temperature of the air not above
50degrees Fahrenheit when the compo-
sitions are applied. The first, or soap
wash, should be laid on when boiling
hot, with fiat brush, taking, care to
form a froth on the brick work. This
wash should remain "a hours, SO as to
become dry and hard before the Sec
ond, or alum wash is applied, which
should be done in the same manner as
the first. The temperature of this
wash, when applied, should be 60 or 20
degrees Fahrenheit, and this also
should remain "a hours before Sec
ond coat of the soap wash is put on.
Thesecoats are to be applied alternate
ly until the walls are made impervious
to water. The alum and soap thus CONF
bined form an insoluble compound, fill
ing the pores of the masonry and en-
tirely preventing the water from en-
tering the walls.
The foregoing method, recommends
ed by the Architect Of London, has been
given trial near Philadelphia with
satisfactory results.

Our sturdy Country Boys.

There is no question of the influence
which the sturdy outdoor life has upon
country boys; and tie fact that the life
is harnessed to regular, imperative du-
ties is to the boys advantage. He is
developed gradually and healthily, his
mind following his physical strength
rather than the reverse. And around
him, for his everyday observation and
study, are the very best object lessons
possible for boys developing life.
He associates familiarly with nature
during his work a1ad recreation; and
even during his sleep, the air which en-
ters his open chamber window is laden
with the odors of apple blossoms, or
the harvest seasons or, perhaps, is the
pure, stimulating atmosphere of the
white, undulating winter fields. But it
all goes toward making him stronger,
sturdier, more se1f-reliant, more am
bilious, more observing. He is healthy
all through, physically, mentally, NOR
ally.-Farm journal.

THE FARMERS WIFE.
wt.con.in LEGISLATOR Proposes q
Plan Having q Tendency to
Emancipate Her.

Modern invention and scientific re-
search have done much to tighten the
burdens of the farmer. Inventive skill
has not only facilitated the opera
tions of husbandry by supplying la
bor-saving machinery, but it has
adapted many of the conv-niences
and comforts of the city to farm life.
But inventive genius has done very
little for the farmers wife. It has
relieved her of buttermaking through
the multiplication of the modern
creamery, but in doing so it has also
diverted the profits of this industry
to the farmers pocket, whereas the
proceeds of buttermaking formerly
were conceded by custom and prece-
dent to the farmers wife.
The farmer has the telephone and
free mail delivery, and he rides all
day long on sulky plow or on a
reaper that cuts the grain and binds
it into sheaves. It is doubtless only
a question of time when machines
will husk his corn and dig his pota-
toes. But the drudgery of the weeks
washing and ironing is still with the
farmers wife. While the lord of the
fields rides in indolept comfort in a
sulky plow the wife bends over a
washtub or wrestles with the hot
irons two days out of every week.
A promise of belated relief for the
farmers wife is seen in the PROPOSE
ton of Representative Frost, of Wis
consin, to establish steam laundry
at every crossroads in the state, to
which the farmers washing and IRON
ing may be brought every week. As
the state is dotted all over with
creameries and cheese factories, it
would be an easy matter to operate
steam laundries in correction with
them.
There is nothing impossible or VIZ
sionary about Mr.. Frost's plan. It
embodies the principle of cooperation
which has already been successfully
applied to nearly every form of ag-
activity, from the old grist
and sawmills to the modern cream
cry. Divest the farmers household
of this form of drudgery and then in
troduce in the kitchen some Of the
modern labor-saving devices that are
used in hotels and the life of the
farmers wife will begin to approach
that standard of ease and comfort
long since attained by the farmer

them, as some grown: persons do
when they drive oxen,
We thought: "Now, here is q nice
picture" so it was arranged that
Harry Stebbins (for this is the boys
name) should bring his calves and
wagon over to Mr.. John Gould's the
next day and have their photograph
taken. The next forenoon Harry was
on hand with his outfit, and Mr..
Gould borrowed a neighbor's children
to help fill the wagon, for that is
the only way John has any children
of his own. The sun was just right
on the south side of the windmi14,
derrick and large maple in the yard.
Sitting there in the morning sunlight,
Harry looked as pleased as a ''sure-
enough" farmer. Snap went the
camera, and the picture was taken as
quick as a flash, and you can see all
just as they looked.
You will think it must have taken
Harry lots of time to break these
calves. Yes, it did, but then boys
have lots of odd hours, and Harry
used his in training his calves, be-
sides forming the habit of industry.
The managers Of the fair invited
Harry to bring his trained calves to
the fair and go in the procession in
the ring, and gave him a premium for
doing so. That was why he was feel
ing so gay and proud coming home
that evening from the county fair.
His little yoke of steers, one year
old, had won a prize all through his
own efforts.
One day Harry's father wanted
some bran from the feed store, two
miles away, and Harry said he could
go after it with his wagon and calves.
There was big hill to come up on
the road home, and Harry's father
thought that they could not haul
more than 200 or 800 pounds, but Mr..
Stebbins was surprised to see them
bring home 700 pounds. Some time
before Christmas Harry sold his
calves for $45 to man in the neigh.
borhood who wanted a young yoke
Of oxen for his farm. He is break
ing another pair, getting them ready

Bee stinss ana Poi.on.

Bee poison is acid in reaction, but
its effect is not due to formic acid, saws
Prof. A. LANCER. The poison is free
from bacteria and has the effect Of
checking slightly the growth of bac-
terra. Experiments showed II per-
sons not sensitive to the bee poison.
against 153 who were sensitive, when
they began to keep bees. They who
are sensitive to the poison should keep
chemical antidotes and a syringe at
hand. The hypodermic syringe may
be used to apply the antidote at the
point of the sting.

The Old AID the New.

We cannot help admiring the fine
spirit of conservatism which leads
many men to cling;to the faith of their
fathers in many good things. But
there is such thing as being too con-
servative. When conservatism means
ignorance, awkward methods, unsatis-
factory returns, it is not a subject of
reverence, but source of stagnation
and poverty. The true spirit of inn
provement is not wild desire for some
thing new; but it is willingness to
recognize that which is best and to
utilize it whether it conflicts or coin
cides with former ideas. Let US not
revere the old things too much, nor ex-
alt the new things merely because they
are new.-American Culti,ator.

c MAY not be much of a story fo,
i those who like to read about peo.
PIE that are rich and raised above
common life and its necessities. AL
.he comedy and tragedy of life are OF
an the wake of money, however, sc
Nan had story as well as bright
Drown hair and red cheeks.
Born on northern Kentucky farm
with perhaps two full years. school
ang In her life, married at fourteen tc
escape a grudging stepmother, wild
owed at fifteen with a babe of a few
months, it may be seen that Nan al
nve and twenty, was we'll aware that
there were such things in the world
as poverty, suffering, struggle, good
and evil, importunate lovers and
faithless friends.
Something awoke in her then. II
was probably because of the chance
word OF her mistress visitor, broad,
brown man, who was smoking on the
wide porch of the summer house. She
heard him as she went driving flock
of young turkeys across the grass
plot. She heard him clearly:
Il wonder if that woman knows she
is handsome in her way"
"Who, Nan?" replied the hostess,
turning languidly over in the ham,
mock, really never thought about
1t. What good does it do her?"
Then the white-haired mother of
seventy sitting by added gently:
"But Mamie is good-which is bet
ter. There is not a soul about here
but likes her because she is so un-
selfish"
Handsome and unselfish," mused
the man, "a rare combination, 1 am
sure"
He noticed the woman again the
next day as he rode about the place,
saw her coming in from the great
vegetable gardens with negro man
following her. She came fearlessly
up the tree-bordered avenue, her sun
bonnet in her hand, her russet hair
blowing, her eyes shining. Behind
her, old Billy carried a basket on his
head full of green lettuce and bright
red tomatoes. It was picture that
caught Hector Pryn's artistic fancy.
Equal to the French peasantry,"
he declared to his aunt; "a bit of
American life that ought to go on
