success. We can't see where you
could make it any better. The fuel
consumed is so small that we really
believe it would pay for itself in one

used. It is perfect baker and the

plumbers about, striking itself against
everything, is unable to provide itself
with food and finally falls down and
dies. In its native depths, however,
it is able to lead a comfortable enough
existence, as its enormously long wins

they enable it to find it's way rapidly

FARMER IN WINTER TIME.
Steady Jobs Are Feeding the stock
and Keeping Warm.


and Keeping Warm.
The great steady winter jobs on an
American farm in the north nowadays
are feeding the stock and keeping
warm. And keeping warm nowadays
means hauling coal. When 1 lived in
the country, it meant cutting wood. It
meant for our large family constant
teaming day after day from the woods
to the wood yard and a wood pile that
must have covered Il quarter of All
acre. 1t meant toward spring the COM
ing Of men with a horse power and
buzz saw to cut firewOOd, and that was
almost as interesting an operation as
thrashing
There were other stirring days when
the lake had frozen hard and the ice
house was filed, involving ice cutting
and more teaming and more precariouS
hitching on behind loads and going
back in empties. And early in the win
ter there was the momentous and CORY
killing of pigs. Oh, that was indeed a
stirring timel They kill pig every
second, no doubt, in Chicago now
adays, but that is mere mechanical
routine, with no quality of sport in it.
There was nothing SO very slow
about the country winter in days as
late as the civil Var. l suppose soap
making as a domestic industry is as
dead as household spinning In those
times of wood fires and wood ashes all
self respecting families made soap.
Our family had an outstanding kitch-
en- expressly for that use with a big
cistern-like hogshead behind it in which
ashes were leached and convenient
tubs for holding the soft soap. A very
handsome substance is soft soap of the
proper consistency and complexion, and
pleasing exercise it used to be for
the young to stir it with stick and
watch its undulatfons. All the super
fuous fat of meat from our kitchen
was turned into soft soap in those near
by old times.-Harper's Magazine.

in its strength; another, gigantic in
force, but not noble an expression Of
mere brute strength. Some engines
have lofty, almost supercilious, ex-
preston; others almost foolish. Some
have an air of SNUG stoutness- Then
there are engines that distinctly look

BRAVE IN FACE OF DEATH.
The Thrilling Grand Stand Play CT n

One of the most thrilling incidents
ever witnessed in the arena is recalled
by the. recent feat of tbs Spanish tore
edor ReveTte. 1t occurred ct Bayonne,
says an encharga. After diEposing Of
two bulls Reverta had twice plunged his
sword into a third, CT great strength and
ferocity, and as the beast continued c.
reening wildly the spectators began to
hiss Reyerte for bungling. Wounded to
the very quick Of his pride. tho SDaniard
shouted: The bull Is slain!" and,
throwing aside his sword. sank on one
knee with folded arms IN the middle Of
the ring. He wac right, but he had not
allowed for the margin Of accident.
The wounded beast charged full upon
him, but the masados, splendid to the
last, kneit motionless as g. statue, while
the spectators held their breath in hor-
riied suspense. Reaching his victim.
the bull literally bounded at him, and
as he Sprang he sank In death, with his
last effort giving one fearful lunge of
the head that drove a horn into the
thigh OF the knee2ing man and laid bare
the bono from the kneetothe Joint. Still
Reverte never fipehed, but remained
kneeling. exulta2t IL victory, but calm

carried away to heal him of his griey-
Gus wound.
