Fort Archie is ten feet wide and
eight feet high and is almost an exact

a picture in one CT his fathers books
The fort Is constructed Of blocks OF snow,
two feet long by eighteen inches square.
II is covered over ana The only entrance
is through a small opening close 10 the

the Office are portfolios at which Archie
will mount his guns
Archie has been busy several DAYS pack

A BALLOON FARM.

A Unique Business Carried on In
Western New York.
There is at present general interest
in airships, for which the late expert
ments of Santos Dumont are largely
responsible, and in view Of this many
will read with more than ordinary in
terest the clever description Of the
great balloon farm of Carl e. Myers,
written by Chauncey McGovern for
Pearson's. "You would be inclined to
think you were dreaming" says Mr..
McGOvern, "were you to walk through
the farm Of Carl e. Myers, nine miles
from the city of Utica, State Of New
York. Here can be seen, on constant
view, in summer time, a large variety
of aerial craft-airshlps that actually
fly, just as they do in the story books,
doing strange things that you had sup
posed could never happen in reality.
Besides the array of new kinds of
air craft, it Is a fact little known that
every American-made hydrogen balloon
in use in the United States-whether
by the government or by private indi-
yiduals-is a product of this one farm.
"Most striking among the things to
be seen at the balloon farm Is flying
machine that really flies, not merely
working model of an airship that
flies a few feet along a track on the
ground, but a fully completed flying
machine that scars into the actual
skies as high as any bird-a machine
that ascends, that turns and dives as
readily as an eagle does.
MANY other curious aerial vessels
have been turned out from the Myers
balloon farm, and some greater Won
ders are In course of construction. 1t
Is not only his own inventions that Mr..
Myers constructs on his balloon farm.
He makes all sorts of aerial contriv.
kites, freak balloons,
air vessels-for other inventors.
"The greatest number of the balloon
farm products, however, are big by.

"Of course will Goodnight, Uncle
Jennings; goodnight aunt-we're off,
both Of u.s." cried Reuben Culwick, and
he was out of the room and striding up
stairs with the child beforeO there was
time for Tots to change her mind in any
way.
Brother and sister did not attempt to
follow him; the brother sat and listened
until the trampling feet in the room above
announced that Reuben had deposited
his charge in her crib. and retired to his
own apartments; the thin woman with
the worn face turned toward the fire,
fast dying out, and passed hand across
her eyes, as If by stealth.
"How fond he is of chldren" said
John Jennings; Il think big men always
are, Lucy. There was Topping"
Don't bother me about Topping"
said Lucy.
"Ahem!-no," he said, with his feeble
little cough prefacing his remarks again;
mot if you wish it, certainly. Still, it's
odd"
What is oddT
"1hat Reuben's coming back should
have put you out in this way"
Il prayed he might never come again."
"Why, we couldn't Afford"
"The man deserved better fortune than
he can find here" she cried, "and so |
didn't want him back. Besides, we don't
agree"
I'm sorry Reuben has seen you in this
tantrum, because l have often fancied
that by and by you and he would get to
like each other. He is a man who wants
something to love--look at him and that
child, for instance-and you're not a
great deal too old, and he's not proud,
and you're"
He stopped as Lucy Jennings swung
herself round, perfect virago in her last
and worst attack Of passion. He had
never seen Lucy show off in this way be-
fore.
John, you're fool" she screamed;
"you are the worst of fools to think like
that, to talk like it. l marry him he

John Jennings gasped for breath.

She did not answer, and John Jen-
nings, after passing his hand over his
forehead in a bewildered manner, went
to bed accordingly.
When she was sure that he was gone,
the woman sank of heap on the shabby
hearth-rug, and buried her face in her
arms, which she leaned upon the chair.
1t was a bitter grief, in which strange
words escaped her.

POWERS COULD CRIPPLE RUSSIA
If Country's Money Supply Was Shut
off She Could Not Fight.

If Country's Money Supply Was Shut
off She Could Not Fight.
That every power in Europe is
jealous of Russia and would be glad
to see her schemes of conquest In the
orient defeated and the nation hum
bled in the dust is too apparent to
require emphasis. An article on Rus
sia published in L'European, journal
of international influence issued in
Paris, has attracted no little attention
in the European press. The author
is the Danish publicist Bjornstjerne
Bjornson. He assumes that Russia IL
an undesirable and dangerous element
In Europe and Asia, and as means
of thwarting her further advance pro-
poses that other nations stop supply
ing her with money. Since 1899, the
writer estimates, Russia has borrowed
abroad $7OO,OO0,00O with which to
build fleets and to maintain an army
no less than to establish the gold
standard and build railways, and NJ.
Bjornson seems to take it very much
to heart that "the larger part of this
foreign gold, which has maintained the
Russian institution and served its plan
of oppression and of conquest, has
flowed from the country of liberty,
equality and fraternity"
"It is admitted in France and Amer
ica," NJ. Bjornson goes on to say, "that
without French gold the Russian in
stitution would have gone to smash
long ago. No centralized power, even
the best, is, for any length of time,
capable of governing so many and
varied peoples. No hand, no matter
how powerful, can stretch over such
an enormous territory or unite so
many contrary destinies created by
varied climates and by numerous racial
and religious differences. But what
the best government, what the most
powerful hand cannot perform be-
comes chaos and misery under a feeble
autocratic power or a bureaucratic in
situation that Is mercenary and menda-
cious, unstable and oppressive. With.
out the foreigners aid it would have
destroyed itself, whether by revolution
or by asphyxia. What, however, would
have been most natural would have
been a general disintegration of the
administration Of the colossal masses
CT Russia according to a scheme OF
liberalization.
"With the aid Of the foreigners gold
all the infammable material of this
formidable accumulation of injustice
and distress has been able to subsist
until It has become danger to us all.
Unless a war precipltates her upon her
ncighbors-a war which would be fol.
lowed through long years by thunder.
ings and tumults-she will continue to
court them as Of yOre. On this point
Russian and foreigner agree. But
war will come. If up to the present
time the all-powerful Russian institu.
ton has not recoiled before any of the
means taken to prolong its existence
why should 1t recoil before war?
Whatever the result Of the war one
thing Is certain-the payment of in
terest will cease. Russia will thank
the aid given her by state bankruptcy"

MAcARoNI CROP IN AMERICA.
Imported Product Will Be Driven Ont
by Dakota Wheat.

by Dakota Wheat.
"Italian macaroni for the American
market will in a few years be a thing
of the past" said the Secretary of Ag-
riculture to a correspondent of the
New York Post. Last year the Amer
can crop of macaroni wheat amounted
to 100000 bushels; this year 1t will
amount to 100000, and next year
expect yield of 2O,O00O00 bushels. In
fact, the acreage is growing so rapidly
that the farmers have been saving
much of their yield for seed, so that
the factories have not until this year
had material enough with which to do
business. My recent trip through the
DakOtas convinced me that macaroni
wheat has passed the experimental
stage. l saw forty-acre fields, yielding
thirty-ive bushels to the acre, of this
wheat growing from seed brought
from the headwaters of the VOlga. Ex-
perlments show that this wheat will
grow wherever there is ten inches Of
rainfall, and as South Dakota averages
to receive sixteen inches there will be
no trouble in raising it there.
1--WE have been spending $S,OO0,OOO
year for imported macaroni. Many
Of our people who have seen its process
of manufacture In Italy have been

appetite may be expected to reasserf

should be put in On icebOx with other
food.
Winter vegetables should be fully
matured when gathered, dried thor
oughly and then stored In cool, dry
place. Carrots, beets and celery keep
better If packed in sand.
Small and soft fruits should be
scattered on platters, not left in bas-
kets as purchased, as their own weight
crushes them and they decay. Peaches
and fine pears should be removed to
shelf and not be allowed to touch
one another. Tomatoes may be ripened
by exposure to the sun.
Milk and cream should be kept
separate from the other foods, as they
absorb odors.
Butter, II purchased in quantity,
should have cloth spread over the
top and on top Of that a thick layer
of salt.
When necessary to take out butter,
lift the cloth from the side, cut out
a square, even piece, and recover with
cloth and salt. If only few pounds
are purchased at time, keep in tin
or agate pail, cover with a cloth, wrung
out of salt water, and the lid.
Lard should be kept in tin and in
cool place.
Fresh fish should never be permitted
to soak In water. Put In a cool place
directly ON artificial Ice.
Meat should not be laid on the ice,
as that draws out the juices. If fresh
killed, allow II to get chilled before
putting in cold storage, otherwise, the
animal heat is driven inside and causes
fermentation, which is poisonous. Do
not let chops and steaks rest against
one another much less ham and steak.
All meats and poultry require cool,
dry atmosphere. If necessary to hang
them, suspend with the choicest and
tender parts down. Hang lamb and
mutton by the shank, and poultry
by the feet.-Boston journal
