Rural Free Delivery.

An item in our budget of expenses
which cannot be overlooked by the voters
is the money spent for rural free delivery.
The import lance of this to the farmer Can
hardly be estimated. and i, may safely be
said tina, the larger the amount of the ap-
preparation for this purpose, the greater
will be the gain. not to the farmer alone,
but o he city man.
The farmers hard times have hitherto
been largely due to the fact that the small
er farmers were obliged to compete with
the big ranch owners. and not infrequent-
ly could not sell their produce in the oeal-
csc city as cheaply as the city dwellt r
could obtain il from wholesale dealers or
derng their produce by the carload from
distance; while the ranch-owner has
been obliged to take risks great enough to
make up for his occasional large profits
Now, however. the smaller farmers are
applying scientific methods to their work,
and endeavoring IN regain their lost
markets; and in order to do this they
must be able TO keep in constant touch
with the cities. They cannot do this so
long as they are liable to delay of from
three hours TO twenty-four in getting their
mail To SCI each day 10 the postoffice
means great loss OF time. yet most OF
them do it rather than risk the loss OF
orders, or the inconvenience which arises
from delay in receiving letters. Rural
free delivery means The simplifying OF this
whole problem, to the convenience OF
every body.

Owen Wister, writing of his expert
ence with The White Goat and His
Country mentions a circumstance
which will perhaps recall to naturalists
and hunters some miscalculations of
their own. He had Travelled across the
continent In the hope Of killing white
goats, and of course he had white
goats in his eye
By 10 o'clock the next morning r..
and saw 1900" goats Oh the noun

When trapper tells you he has seen
so many hundred head Of game, he
has not counted them, but he believes
what he says.
The goats that T. and | now looked
at were mile away in an air line,
and they seemed numberless. The pie
ture which the white, slightly moving
dots made, like mites on cheese. in
clined one to large estimate of them,
since they covered the whole side of a
hill.
The more we looked the more we
found Besides the main army there
were groups, caucuses, families sitting
apart over some discourse too intimate
for the general public, and beyond
these we could discern single animals
moving, gazing, browsing, lying down.
There's 100000 goats" said T.

Avoid Pneumonia.

A sudden and startling increase both

proach Of the season when pneumonia Is
most prevalent. For the week ending
the 18th Instant the number OF deaths ~
Chicago from "the new captain OF tn"
men of death" was 80 per cent greater
than for the corresponding week year
ago.
Pneumonia lie the despair of the medi-
cal profession. While the death rate
from many other diseases has been re-
duced that OF pneumonia has steadily H.
creased. While In 1850 pneumonia
claimed four out Of every 10000 Chic
loans and consumption twenty five, In
| 1900 twenty lives we're lost to pneumonia
for every fifteen to consumption.
a. Not only Is there no specific for pneu-
monia, but many people are to an extent

without knowing it. This IL due to the
fact that the bacterlum Of pneumonin
exists so commonly In the saliva OF
many healthy persons that 1t is consider
ed "almost a normal inhabitant OF the
upper part Of the digestive tract"
But there are certain rules OF living
which will reduce ones liability TO the
disease. From the bulletins of the health
department and from other authorit alive
sources the following rules may be set
down for observance:
Do not overhead the house. Most peo-
pie habitually dwell In apartments the
temperture of which Is from 3 to 10 dt-
grees too high.
Wear light underwear and heavy owe
coats rather Ihan heavy underwear and
light overcOats.
Avoid mingling with crowds when ex-
tremely tired or when food has not bee
taken for longer interval than usual.
Avoid becoming chilled when overtired.
Admit into all rooms where you live
and work plenty sunlight and fresh air.
Keep warm when indoars even II 1t Ia
necessary to build fires in seasons wher
it is unusual to, do so. Avoid indoor
chill and dampuess as much as possible
For this reason be careful to remove the
chill before moving into apartments
freshly papered or calsomined.
Be careful during variable weather.
Where there is continual cold or constant
warmth the disease Is little known.
II you have an attsct Of the grippe be
unusually careful about your diet and
about exposing yourself to the weather
Neglected colds develop into pheumOnia

by inches in size and are franco
into pieces of the same size, running
lengthwise of the wagon, which in turn
carry at their rear ends the by
upright pieces twelve to fourteen feet
high, between which the weight plays.
The upright pieces are braced to the
false bolster by short diagonal braces,
but the mortises and lemons are made
to fit quite loosely, SO as to allow some
motion Of the top Of the uprights FROM
front to rear in order to adapt the
machine to uneven ground. This mo
ton is regulated and the uprlghts are
braced longitudinally by the long di-
agonals. which are loosely mortised
and pinned into uprights, but whose
lower ends play in along mortises in
the longitudinal pieces of the main
frame, being held In any desired posi-
ton by a pin passing through one OF
series of holes. To plumb the up
rights transversely long tapered
wedge is driven between the false and
true holsters of the rear end on either
side, as may be needed.
The weight shown In Fig. Is pref
erably made of cast iron. The figure
represents a cube Of cast iron twelve
inches each way, with a concave bot
tom and recesses one inch deep by four
inches wide to play upon the uprights
which thus form q guide. The catch
shown on the top Of the weight should
be made Of wrought iron and screwed
into a hole drilled and threaded for
the purpose.
Fig. represents pair OF notched
tongs which engage this catch, but re-
lease 1t when their upper arms come In
contact with the inclined planes Co. 81
shown near the top Of the uprights In
Fig. 2. These inclined planes or drops
are simply pieces Of hard wood two
inches thick, four inches wide and eight
inches long and beyeled to thin edge
On each side is nailed n piece of tough
inch lumber beveled to match the
wedge and having hole through
which passes pin, which also passes
through the upright, thus making the
drop adjustable to any height.
The rope which raises the weight Is
attached to the pivot Of these tongs by
a hook and cleys, as shown, whence II

A new ana simple method for testing

With an egg eight days old the angle
increases to As degrees, with an egg
