sashes for winter-that is. storm sashes
for both the side and ends, and If all
joints and corners are perfectly tight
no chilling drafts can enter. The storm
sashes are simply fastened in with
heavy screws, this making them easy
to remove in the spring. Hot water
pipes, in connection with the dwelling
system, provide a good means of heat

There are lots of reclaimed lake beds
all through the prairie section OF the
west and northwest, upon which for
several years past good crops of corn,
potatoes and fax have been raised,
where this year there is water enough
to float fat bottomed steamboat. The
retaining business will have to be
done over again and in different man
ner.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

The very meanest work which there
is to be found On the farm is to have
10 dig potatoes where one-half of them
are rotten, and that is the fix this fall
through much of the country.

The Northwestern Greening apple
seems to be steadily forging its way
into the good graces of western apple
growers. 1t seems to be hardy and pro
duces a large apple of fair quality
which will keep under ordinary cellar
conditions until June. Its quality is far
better than that of the Ben Davis, and
it seems to be adapted to very large
section of the country where the Ben
Davis will not grow. The writer has
200 trees of this variety which look
very promising.

Many American parents can learn
most valuable lesson from the German
and Scandinavian people who come to
this country. These people believe that
it is part of boys and girls educa-
ton to learn how to work, and from
the time that their children are old
enough they are given employment OF
some kind suited to their strength. The
result is that the children are kept out
of world of temptation and mean
ness and become our most valuable
workers and citizens.

of the apple tree and the one thing
which must be most closely looked aft

It has been a very freaky year for
vegetation. The apple trees have
bloomed for a second crop of fruit, po-
tatoes have grown above ground on
the vines. September strawberries and
raspberries have been common, sweet
peas have bloomed continuously from
June to middle October. geraniums
and callas have hardly bloomed at all,
the second crop of clover and timothy
hay was better than the first. cucum-
bers kept on producing from July to
October, melons utterly failed. 1t has
been year without a summer, minus
sunshine and heat. and with an excess
of moisture.

1t is probable that more of our peo-
pie are today seeking places for new
homes than ever before in the history
of the country. 1t is not a sort of mi
gratory craze, such as peopled the
states of the west in the forties and
fifties, but the effort to secure piece
of land and home of ones own. Thou
sands are moving to the newer Sec
tions, and thousands more would move
did they but know where to locate.
More and more the people are coming

Prehistoric Remains Exp00ed by the
Freehets In Tennessee.
Floods that prevailed in Tennessee
recently washed up what had been
called an old Indian graveyard. Sci
entists. however, who have given their
critical attention to the And are now
inclined to the opinion that it was
the resting place of prehistoric men,
the mound builders.
The graves were very deep. The
green knoll under which they rested
gave no evidence of covering such
grewsome relics. There has been nc
indication of graveyard in the To-
cality within the memory of the pres
ent inhabitants and no record of 1t
in history. Before the flood the field
was worth $50 an acre and produced
fourteen bales of cotton.
But this year the creek spread over
the bottoms as never before, causing
much destruction. The soil was swept
away in the torrent, and when the
water finally receded there were left
exposed twelve graves. Some evi-
IDENTIFY were the graves of adults and
some the graves of children.
Now, these graves were evidently
not the remains OF Indians. They
gave evidence that the dead had been
buried there with much care, while
the Indians were wont simply to wrap
a blanket about the body and lay it in
a shallow grave.

Cyclones and Tornadoes.

Much indefniteness exists in the
use of the word cyclone. Prof. Davis
Of Harvard remarks that violent whirl-
winds are occasionally formed in thun-
derstorms. They are seldom more than
a quarter of a mile in diameter; they
drift along with the thunderstorm in
which they are formed, usually in an
easterly direction. passing by in a min
ute or two. These whirling winds are
strong enough to blow down trees and
overturn buildings. Violent local
storms of this kind are often called
cyclones, or prairie twisterS in the
Mississippi valley, but the name tor
nsdo is to be preferred in order to dis
tlnguish them from the much larger
and less violent cyclonic storms
When violent whirlwinds of this kind
occur over water surface a watery
column is formed in their vortex; they
are then called waterspouts.

BABY CRIES OVER TELEPHONE
Doting Grandmother for First Time
Hears Infants Voice.

Hears Infants Voice.
A Staten Island boy baby now holds
the record for long distance crying,
says the New York Sun. He is some
thing less than a year old and his
father says that he seldom cries.
The baby's grandmother lives in At
lanta, Ca, and she has never seen the
baby. One evening last week the
father had occasion to call up his
mother in Atlanta on the long dis
tance telephone to give her some i'm
portant news, including the fact that
baby had cut tooth.
She expressed desire to hear the
baby's voice. Any one who knows
anything about young babies knows
that they exercise their voices chiefly
in crying. This particular baby was
brought to the telephone and by lit
tie proper manipulation was induced
to cry for his grandmother in Atlanta
1.-THE dear little thing" replied the
grandmother to her son, Il could hea,
him plainly. What an awfully nice
cry he has
Yes said the son, enthusiastic-
ally. Its a great cry and it don't get
on your nerves as other babies cries
do. He is the finest baby in this
town. Well, good-by, mother. I'll
call you up next time baby cuts

This Is Fiction.

The man closed the bathroom door
and locked it. He looked with fierce
determination at the bathtub, half
filled, and, setting his jaw, hissed
'I'll do it or break leg!'
Picking up couple of dumbbells
weighing ten pounds apiece, he sprang
into the air and landed on the water.
Then he stepped out again, unmind-
full of the pain the jar had given him.
Bending over the tub once more,
he laughed triumphantly.
Il have accomplished it at last" he
cried. Il have put a three-inch dent
in that water"
But of course this is fiction He
lived in Cincinnati, and the water, at
present writing, is far too muddy 70

she replied. Il know of three or four
educated women who have been mar
