such manner as to have the recipro-
cal motion of the mill applied to it.
The two devices are connected to
holes in ends of each arm. The mo-
ton of b at the windmill tower is
therefore communicated to a on the
pump standard, which may be at any
distance from the windmill. The
holes in each device can be about
two feet apart. When wires are to
be run an extra long distance, or
obstacles, they are supported by
posts on which are bolted movable
arms similar to a or b. By using long
posts the wires can be raised out of
the way.
Another excellent device is shown.
The crank or handle (c), on one end
the rod or the shaft takes the place
of the pump handle, while d, on the
other end of the shaft, receives the
motion from the mill. The rod on
which these two contrivances are
placed can be of almost any length.
Where it is not possible to run it di-
rect from the mill to the pump, it can
be joined by means of a universal
Joint, and run around or over any OBJ
stacle. This joint is shown at e, and
consists of two shafts or arms, each
terminating in a semicircle, and CON
nected by means of a cross upon
which each semicircle is hinged.
When one shaft is turned, either to
the right or left, the other shaft
turns in the same direction. Any
good blacksmith will be able to make
it. The material used in the rod con-
Meeting pump to mill can be either
one-half or one-inch iron, or common
inch gas pipe.-Farm and Home.

One of the very startling modes in

elbow sleeves, caught up in the center

a puff effect.
Another that is more dainty and not
so startling is a sweet gown of crepe

HARD COUNTRY A
h Properly Built, Cost of Repair.
Is Slight Because the Damage
Is Uncomfortable.

1nasmuch as the good roads move
ment is to be %furthered only by the
most persistent agitation, it is a pleas
ure to note that many of the country
newspapers are enlisted in the work
and propose to keep up the fight. 1t is
not a difficult task to meet the argu-
ment that such roads are expensive. In
the townships in which permanent
roads have been built it was found that
saving in the wear and tear of vehicles,
the longer life and better health OF
men and horses, and the increased value
of adjacent properties much more than
atoned for the outlay required for the
construction of the roads. Once the
base is laid the rest is easy. Science
has provided for that. The cost of re-
pairs is slight, for the obvious reason
h a the damage is inconsiderable. The
ordinary rain digs no trenches through
the best material of which roads are
built. Even narrow-tired vehicles cut
them but slightly. The iron of horses,
shoes is as nothing upon the surface.
Rightly constructed they are what
they purport to be-roads which with
the least possible repairs are perman-
ent. These are the facts which the
newspapers engaged in the improve
ment of our road system are Impress
ing upon our people, and it is a pleas
ure to note that some of them realize
alike the Importance of the work and
the necessity for more than usual
vlgor in advocating its performance.

FEEDING A SKELETON.
An Old Scotch story from Which
scores of American Farmers Can
Draw n Lesson.

A story is told of a Scotch physician
who was in search of a boy with suf-
ficient nerve to assist him when diff
cult surgical operations were on hand.
The doctor, by the way, was a ven-
triloquist, and he hit upon the follow
ing plan to enable him to secure the
boy he was looking for: Each candi-
date was set to work to feed Cruel to
a skeleton which stood in an adjacent
room. No sooner had the boy got to
work than the doctor would call out
in sePulchral tones: "More, give me
more" The voice sounded to the boy
as though it came from the skeleton.
A number of those first tried, as soon
as they heard the sepulchral tones,
dropped the bowl of Cruel and ran.
AT length a boy was found who con
tinued to feed the cruel, notwithstand-
ing the repeated cries of the skeleton
for more. When the cruel was all fed
he struck the skeleton on the side of
the head with the spoon, saying as he
did so: MY, Bony, but you are hard
to satisfy" This boy got the posi-
ton.
We laugh at the idea of feeding a
skeleton, but are not some persons
engaged in just about as profitable a
business? They feed live stock all the
winter, that is to say, young and
growing stock. The animals go out
in the spring just about as they went
into the yard in the fall. The chief
difference is that they have a little
more bone and hair in the spring and
a little less flesh. Sometimes they
have considerably less in the spring
than in the fall. Those persons have
been about as profitably employed as
the boy who vas feeding the skeleton,
and the food fed to those animals ac-
complished about as much for those
who fed them as the food fed to the
skeleton accomplished for the owner
of the same. So it is with all growing
animals. The food fed to them is
wasted when they make no growth

with lace founce and velvet ribbon to
finish.
Apropos of old French fashions,
they offer several charming ways of
freshening up old evening gowns. For
example, one clever young woman has
taken a soft pink crepe de Paris which
has done duty as al evening frock for
several seasons, has freshened the
skirt, and wears with it, in place of
the mussed and out-of-date bodice, a
cunning short Louis coat of Pompa-
ichu of white chiffon.
For a woman who has left her teens
we'll behind, soft clinging velvet in a
silvery green or blue or rose, or even
in white, makes a most delectable en-
pire evening gown. At a recent French
fete such a gown in pale green vel
vet with a mere touch of silver en-
b%roidery and a corsage cluster of Par
ma violets was admitted to be at once
the simplest and the most exquisite
worn.
White Liberty satin in princessf
form, or with a swathed bodice ana
clinging skirt which join under folds
and show no separating girdle line, is
a most satisfactory evening gown
motif, and a gold scroll applied to the
bottom of the skirt and appearing in
bodice details, is such a gowns best
trimming. An Empire model in Lib
erty satin with a Greek key trimming
in gold or silver is charming for a
figure to which it is becoming, but
not every woman can carry Empire
lines we'll.
A very broad girdle of Pompadour
silk very sharply pointed in front, in
a fashion suggestive of Vatican pan
niers, will give quite a new effect to an
old gown with a full shirred bodice.
A fichu is an appropriate accompani-
ment of the girdle and large paste but
tons make the girdle still more at
tractive.
Liberty satin is a ~favorite material
for evening gowns, eve for young
girls, and, of course, will outwear sew

that he does not die quickly when over

One of the most important claims
that has been before the court for a
long time was that of Charles G. Lund-
borg, who demanded a judgment of
$250,0oO for an alleged use of certain
plans and specifications prepared by
him in the construction of vessels for
our navy. Under date of May 8, 1885,
the secretary of the navy published an
invitation ito all engineers and me-

The Pigs ma Their Dams.

There is a great difference of opin-
ion in regard to the time that young
pigs should be allowed to remain with
their dams. If we only desire to raise
one litter o year they may be allowed
to remain with their dam until they
are about ten weeks old, but if two lit
tiers are to be raised, it will be neces-
sary to wean them when six or eight
weeks old. We may also be guided
largely by the way the young pigs are
thriving. If the milk of the dam does
not agree with them it may be wise to
wean them early, but if they are doing
well it is better to let them remain
with the dam some eight or ten weeks.

Di.poslns of Dead Animals.

The bodies of dead animals are con-
verteds into fertilizer by some farmers,
but something depends upon circum-
stances as to the ACCESSIBILITY of so do
ing. If IN animal dies of some con-
tagious disease and is buried the
earthworms will bring to the surface
the germs of the disease. This fact
was demonstrated by Pasteur, the ia
nous French chemist, who made tests
In that direction. Disease was COM
municated to animals that ate grass
which grew over the body of a buried
animal. The better plan is to consume
the bodies of diseased animals, or sub
ject them to a bath of sulphuric acid
after death, in order to destroy the
germs Of disease.

N ARRANGEMENT.
Power Where Pump Is Some Dis
lance from Mill.

1t often happens one wishes to OPP
crate a pump by wind power when
the pump is at a distance from the
windmill. Sometimes the pump is at
the foot of a hill, while the mill must
be placed at the top, Or two pumps
could often be worked by one wind
mill if there was any way of trans
uniting motion from one to the
other. 1t is a matter of little trouble
and expense to construct an arrange
ment for this purpose. Get a black
smith to make a device shown at a,
which is to take the place of the
usual pump handle. The device (b),
which is somewhat similar to a, is
bolted on a post at the windmill in

Observation-Disclosures tired of
AlA the masculine effects that
49, have been so prominent a
feature of the modes for the past few
seasons, I did not realize to what ex-
tent they would go in the other direc-
ton, nor how great a change there
was in store, for us.
From mannish effects the French
woman has turned to the most decided
feminine effects and startling novel
ties. In fact, anything that is a de-
cided novelty, and has sufficient Of
the feminine touches to make it at
tractive, is sure to be popular, no mat
ter how peculiar it's construction or
coiorings.
Especially is this true of the even
ing gowns. Of course it is much cas-
Ter to get the dainty feminine effects
so greatly desired all at once, in an
evening gown than in any other form
of garment, and the French woman
has improved every opportunity Of
fered her.
1t is said that one reason for this, a
reason hat has pushed the dress de-
signers into insisting upon feminine
effects, is that the queen Of England
has intimated hat she would much
prefer to have her subjects purchase
the gowns they will wear at the COR
onation ceremonies at home. Her
tastes in dress are decidedly feminine,
and she is having a strong influence
upon the costuming of her subjects.
For this reason it is expected that just
such 1lodes as seem to prevail would
be acceptable to English women, and
the Paris designers, by thus catering
directly to English tastes, hope to cap
ture a goodly share of the orders made
possible because of the coronation GER
emonies. And they will, for English
patriotism has not yet reached the
stage where it will put up with badly
designed gowns offered by English
costumers. French art in dresses is
much appreciated in England.
But to return to the evening gowns.
