of heavy wire are suspended within
the mold in such a position that when
the handle is complete the wire acts
as a reinforcement at the weak parts
above and below the finger opening.
These pieces are bent so as to conform
to the shape of the handle. The blade
is inserted in the handle in the usual
manner; that is, in a slot and hung by
screws.

Flexible Saw Handles.

Among the newest ideas for the pur-
pose of increasing the comfort of the
wOrkingman is saw handle made Of
rubber. The advantage Of such a
handle is that, being elastic, it pre-
cents vibration and Earring of the
hand of the operator, and also that,
as it is non-breakable, it may be de-
tached from one blade and put on an
other, and is therefore, practically in
destructible.
In shape and appearance. with the
exception of the color, the handle is
the same as the wooden one now in
common use. In its manufacture the
handle is made by pouring the soft

Some of the latest trolley road enter
prises are likely to be Of special benefit
to small towns. Most Of the earlier
electric roads were built parallel to
steam lines, connecting only the cities
and large towns already provided with
railroad facilities, and directly useful
to such farmers only who happened to
live on or near the line of the road. But
most of the main towns being already
connected, there is now tendency to
reach out and secure the business OF
the farming towns which have never
had a railroad of any kind. Already In
western Massachusetts, in Connecticut
and in parts of Maine new roads are
branching out in all directions, bring
ing new life to lonely communities and
serving as feeders to the steam roads
and the main street lines. Many new
projects are not street lines at all, but
20 straight over the fields and mead
sws, making cuts and filings when
needed at considerable cost. Such lines
are capable of high speed and regular
service. Many q town will enjoy good
passenger facilities and often freight,
mail and express service by the con-
struction of an electric road where
steam road could never hope to do
paying business.-American Cultivator.

HThe JerIZa.v

The most remarkable manifestation
of the great religious movement which
swept over this country just before the
war Of 1912 was the physical and nerv-
GUS disorder known as ''the jerks" The
Jerks took their name from the fact
that the arms and legs would be thrown
about apparently by force beyond
control Of the individual. The disorder
was epidemic In Tennessee. A slave
owner, a man of great wealth and
prominence and irreligious, called his
slaves together one Sunday morning,
when a camp meeting was in progress
near by, and announced his deliberate
intention of horsewhipping any one OF
their number who took the jerks. I'll

camp meeting, and while conversing
with friend in the outskirts Of the
ground was told that one Of his ne
groes had the jerks. Seizing his horse
whip, he fastened toward the spot and
when half way was himself seized by
the jerks.

to prune too much and that 1t requires
the greatest good judgment to prune
just enough.
How to Prune-1. Never cut away
more wood than Is necessary to obtain
the end in view. Err on the side of cut
ting too little rather than too much,
for if too much is taken off 1t cannot be
replaced in many years. Large crops
of fruit cannot be grown on trees
with a few exposed branches 2. Cut
out all dead wood as soon as 1t Is dis
covered. Summer Is good time to do
this, as dead branches can then be seen
at n glance) 3. If two branches rub
together so as to injure one anoth-
er, the weakest should be cut away.
4. If one branch rests on the top Of
another, as in Fig. 1, one should be
removed. 5. Head back and thin out
the top rather than cut off the lower
branches to bring the fruit as low
as possible ON account Of thinning,
spraying and harvesting (see Fig. p.
6. Never remove side branches II 1t
can be avoided. If it must be done,
cut as shown at B, Fig. 3, and cover the
injured parts with two coats of lin
seed oil paint, gas tar or grating wax.
Cover all wounds over half an inch In
diameter with one of the above pre-
servatives. T. Remove branches that
are too low or resting on the ground.

George Peabody.

George Peabody spent his money
alike for England and America, and
his seventy-f1ve years of life gave him
ample opportunity to give vent to his
instincts of benevolence. Like Peter
Cooper, he did not wait for death to
come before he parted with his surplus
fortune. Peabody was American born,
and to his glory he declined the offer
of a baronetcy from the queen. Far
more grateful to the good man was the
resolution of thanks passed by the con-
gress Of the United States. That was
a distinction, coming from the whole
