not only as washers between the cyl
inder heads and sides of box, but
serve to reinforce the heads and
hold the axles more fir Drive a
IL inch mortise clear through the
blocks and heads of cylinder. Take
2 2-inch hardwood pins and square
one end to 1R-inch plump, and drive
firmly into the mortise flush with
]. inside of cylinder heads. The axles
must be left sufficiently long to
reach outside the box when the COM
pleted cylinder is hung ready for
use, and one must be long enough to
mortise on a piece at right angles
for the crank. If both project 4 or
5 inches outside the box it will
be all the better, as they will serve
as handles for lifting the cylinder
out and into the box. Cut 80 Stats
70 by 1 inch IS inches long and
slightly round the corners, which
will be inside where the Stats are
nailed on to the cylinder ehads. Nail
"a Stats one-half inch apart around
the heads and the remaining space
will be the door or cover of the cyl
inder. Take two pieces of light
harness tug 12 inches long and screw
the remaining Stats on to the pieces
of tug one-half inch apart the same
as on the cylinder heads. only the
strips of tug must be fastened to
upper side of Stats, so that the cyl
inder will be perfectly smooth in
side. This door may be held in place
with heavy leather or iron hinges,
or by two small wooden or iron but
tons on each cylinder slat next TO
the door. With a Pinch piece 1
foot in length mortised on to the
outer end of one axle at right angles
and a pin through the lower end to
serve as a crank, the washer is COM
plete, and at a cash outlay of al
most nothing. A three-quarter inch
hole may be bored through one end
of the box just on a level with the
bottom for letting off the water.
Fill the cylinder with roots, fasten
the door and hang in the box. Use
plenty of water and revolve slow
ly for minute or two, and the
roots will be cleaned perfectly. Any
man at all handy with tools can
make the washer in a few hours
time, and its use will save hard and
costly hours of labor over hard work
in one season. OF course if one has
the money to hire it made, and pre-
fers dressed lumber with iron or
nickel mounting, and desires to paint
and decorate, using turned or carved
legs, there is no objection, and it
will doubtless do just as good work
as the old homespun.. The above is
very serviceaole, can be made in
rainy day right at home, which many
of us can do more easily than to pay
out cold cash for the more SNOWY
machine. E. Morse, in Rural New
Yorker.

VEGETABLE WASHER.
Make One without Delay and See II
1t Is Not n Great Convenience
and Labor Saver.

A very cheap and serviceable root
washer may be made by any man
right at home, and no need to call
on a carpenter or blacksmith. Make
a water-tight box of ~ Inch lumber,
IL by 21 by 80 inches inside. The
legs are ~ by 3 inches, 2 feet long.
Lap the legs inches on to the box
and fasten firmly with 2A-inch
screws. This gives a height of 80
inches, which is convenient for all
purposes. Two half-round notches
are let into the sides of the box in
which the aXles of the cylinder re-
volve. The cylinder heads 1H-inch
thick are Is inches in diameter. A
block l inch thick by inches square
or a round wheel of same dimen-
sions, is screwed to the outside CEN
ter of each head. These blocks act

WHEN WE FALL ASLEEP.
Some Senses Become Dormant BefOre
others, Thnt of Seeing Being
the First.

When a man drops off to sleep his
body does not do so all at once. Some
senses become dormant before 9TH
ers, and always in the same order. AS
he becomes drowsy the eyes close and
the sense of seeing is at rest.
1t is quickly followed by the sense
of taste. He next loses the sense of
SMELL and then, after a short interval,
the tympanum becomes insensible to
sound-or, rather, the nerves which
run to the brain from it fail to con-
vey any sense of hearing.
The last sense to leave' is that Of
touch, and in some representative peo-
pie it is hardly ever dormant. This
sense is also the first to return upon
awakening. Then hearing follows
suit; after that taste, and then the
eye becomes able to flash Impressions
back to the brain.
The same gradual loss of power is
observed in the muscles and sinews.
Slumber begins at the feet, and slow
ly spreads up the limbs and trunk un-
til it reaches the brain, when uncon-
sciousness is complete and the body
is at rest.-Chicago American.

CHEERFULNESS AT TABLE.
Make Every Meal nm Occasion for tn e
-~ Interchange of Entertaining
Conversation.

An old lady, who looked a though
she might have belonged to the sun
shine society" all her life, was asked
by a friend the secret of her never
failing cheerfulness, Her answer con-
tains suggestive lesson for parents.
81 think" said the clever old lady,
sit is because we were taught in our
family to be cheerful at the table.
My father was a lawyer with large
criminal practice. His mind was
harassed with difficult problems all the
day long, yet he always came to the
table with a smile and pleasant
greeting for everyone, and eXerted
himself to make the table-hour de-
lightful. All his powers to charm
were freely given to entertain his
family. Three times a day we felt this
genial influence, and the effect was
marvellous. If a child came to the ta-
BILE with cross looks, he or she was
quietly sent away to find good boy
or girl, for only such were allowed
to come within that loving circle. We
were taught that all petty grievances
and iealousies must be forgotten when
meal time came, and the habit of be-
ing cheerful three times a day, under
all circumstances, had its effect on
even the most sullen temper. Crate
full as l am for all the training re-
ceived in my childhood home, ! look
back upon the table influence as among
the best of my life"
Table manners are, of course, essen
tial, but the most important thing is
TO make the meal an occasion for the
interchange of delightful and enter
tanning conversation. Let such gath
erings, fathers and mothers, make the
most happy hour of the day, and the
influence on the children may be be-
yond estimation.-N. Y. Weekly.

Oleomargarine men claim that their
product is a wholesome food. The new
law is now in force imposing a tax of
ten cents a pound on oleomargarine
colored to initiate butter. If nutri-
tious and healthful oleomargarine
should be sold on its merits, very
truthfully says the Globc-Democrat.
Those who are willing to consume it
as a substitute for butter do not want
to pay anything additional for color
ing material. The public hopes that
the new law will be rigidly enforced.
Adulteration or deception practiced in
food is a fraud on the people, and the
federal courts, when called on to act,
will see that the new regulations are
enforced

VIBRATING BEAUTY CHAIR.

forations which are covered by the
thin rubber. The seat and back of
the chair are filed with water when
the patien. sits in the contrivance, and
then a hammer, which strikes rubber
disk, is set in motion. This hammer
starts vibratory waves in the water,
and these waves are communicated to
the body by means of the perforations
in the chair. Lillian Russell and Bern
hardt are using vibratory chairs, and
this means of acquiring strength with
out eXpending energy is becoming
quite a fad in New York. The vibra-
tory chairs cost from 5000 up, and con-
sequently will never become popular
among the majority of beauty seekers.
