AN OHIO MANS HARROW,

and holding the snow in winter, and
when broken by the bar in the spring
it shades and holds the moisture for
the new clover plant. but If torn out by
root at seeding time it leaves a deep
hole in the surface. worse than wasting
horse power, choking the drill, and,
moreover it becomes an unmitigated
nuisance clear through the harvest
This slant tooth harrow is in two
parts, each adjustable in width, and
has guides for the corn stubs. 1t has
long, slanting steel teeth, to be short
ened by wiring Stats under the light
frame, and is seldom out of use, work
ing single or double. 1t is a smoothing
harrow for fresh planted corn and
leveler for the early garden. 1t follows
the coarser tools in tending corn, and
as the driver sits close to the ground
he can pull a weed or set up corn with
out STOPPING. Single it runs through
the corn after it is laid by to retain
moisture and to keep down starting
grass and weeds. Being a reversed ZAP
harrow, its open front sucks the soil
from the ridge back to the depression

A MARSHALL CRATE.

there is comes upon the retailer, who
must make a little effort to see that
the crates are returned or lose the
price of the crate. The great conven-
fence of being able to see at glance
the quality of the fruit and to exhibit
the entire lot to customers will go a
long way toward making up for this
inconvenience. This crate is made of
one-half or five-eighths of an inch lum-
Der, with Slated bottom and a close
cover, B, the cleats of which set down
Into the grooves, A, so that it will not
get out of place unless the crate is
turned bottom side up. Its form is
such that there is less danger Of the
expressman standing it on end than
with the common bushel crate.

Lost Pins.

What becomes of pins?
1t would really seem rejecting upon
the daily disappearance of pins that
the earth would be covered with them
and that the annual fall If measured
would amount to several inches Wo-
men who start out with pins playing
a useful part in the details of a gown
will tell you that they never can find
a pin; that they are always buying
pins; that they are eternally loaning
them. In the dressmakers rooms the
expenditure for pins is no small item.
The average dressmaker uses and
loses twelve papers of pins a month.
Yet the floors of her rooms are not
matted with them, and frequently her
wall goes up, What has become of all
the pinsw Where indeed do they go?
Is there crust of pins subtly forming
under the everyday sweep that will
puzzle explorers in some far age to
come ?-Philadelphia Ledger.

The Victoria Medal.

The Victoria medal is made out Of
bronze from Russian guns captured in
the Crimean war The design is the
work of the prince consort of Queen
Victoria. The medals are made sep
arately and only when one is needed.
Thus when some soldier or sailor, no
matter what his rank may be, has
shown conspicuous bravery or devo-
ton to the country in the presence Of
danger" as the act reads. the war office
sends to the royal jewelers. the bronze
needed for the metal. 1t is carefully
cast, filed smooth around the edges
and then the design is brought out by
chasing. The soldiers medal is sus-
pended by red ribbon and that of the
sailor by blue piece Of silk.

A Letter to Mother.

"You promised mother a letter. Write
it now" is one of the notices on the
walls of the NagasaH Home For Sea-
men, motto that, it is asserted, has
restrained more men from going wrong
than almost any other influence of the
place. Wanderers over the globe are
not the only ones who need such a re-
hinder. Indeed they might be able to
give lessons in tilial duty to many who
have never realized how fortunate they
are that home and mother are not far
away, but near at hand.-Youths Com

Mfmfckry In CaterpillaHS.

A very large caterpillar stretched it
self from the foliage of tree which
was examining and startled me by its
resemblance to small snake. The first
three segments behind the head were
dilatable at the will of the insect and
had on each side large black pupil
lated spot, which resembled the eye Of
the snake. 1t was poisonous or vi
perine species mimicked and not an in
nocuous snake. This was proved by
the imitation of keeled scales on the
crown. which was produced by the re-
cumbent feet as the caterpillar threw
itself backward. l carried off the cat

A New Strawberry Carrier.

The Marshall crate or carrier here
shown has many valuable features
about it that should bring it largely
into use for the sale of fancy fruit,
says Professor S. 7. Maynard in the
New England Homestead. 1t is made
to hold twentyfour quart baskets in
one layer of by rows so that the
dealer or consumer can see all the fruit
at a glance. 1t is not gift package,
however, but each crate is paid for
when received by the retailer, who re-
ceives a rebate when the crate is re-
turned.

Toilet of the Cat.

Cats, large and small, make the most
careful toilet Of any class of animals,
excepting some of the opossums. The
lions and tigers wash themselves in ex-
actly the same manner as the cat, wet
ting the dark, rubberlike ball Of the
fore foot and inner toe and passing IT
over the face and behind the ears. The
foot is thus at the same time face

tongue combs the rest Of the body.
