ship for the president, a friendship of long years standing. That the office was offered to him did not surprise anybody in the official family.
 It is said that Mr. Root has decided to become q candidate for the presi- dential nomination in 1908 With the administration behind him it is as- sumed he may become very formida- ble candidate.
 Mir. Root, who was selected to rep resent the state department at the fu- neral of Mir Hay, was Mir. Roosevelt's constant companion throughout the journey of the president to Cleveland, both eastward and westward. He was the only member of the presidential party who rode all the way with Mir. Roosevelt in the latter's private car.
 Who will be the next secretary of state:" was the one inquiry that every one wanted the president 10 answer on his arrival from Cleveland. but he re- fused to say word at that time.
 MT. Root. interviewed al New York. was very noncommunlcauve. when asked if it was not a fact that Presi- dent Roosevelt had offered him the portfolio of secretary of state, NIT. Root said:
 Any announcement about the selec- ton for the cabinet must come from the president. understand that he contemplates making an announce ment. We will all have to wait until then to know who is to he Mir. Hays successor"
 All further efforts to get Mir Root to intimate whether or not he was to he the new secretary Of state were fruit less.
 It is understood that Mir Root gives ID a law practice of S300.O00 a year to re-enter the cabinet. where his sal. ary will he but Ss.Oa0.
 MT. Roots connection as counsel with the Equitable Life Assurance SO eiety tangle and with Mayor Weayer's fight for municipal reform in Phiia. delphia has recently kept his name prominently before the public.

Jacques
"MONTE CRISTO."

What should prove to be most in- teresting announcement to the local theater- going public is the news that the Poli summer stock company will present next week at the Jacques one of the most celebrated plays in Ameri- can theatrical history. the dramatiza- tion of the elder Dumas's famous TO- mantle novel, "The Count of Monte Cristo" This story of insatiate inter- est has record of popularity and financial success equalled only by Jos eph Jefferson's Rip Van Wrinkle and Denman Thompson's The Old Home stead" and has furnished James O'Neill. one of the country's most charming players. with a vehicle that has been used by him with astounding results for years. Every time MT O'Neill has given the play here the theater has been taxed to the doors, and when all other pieces have failed to suit the demands the public has made on him Monte CriSto" has been revived to enjoy renewed triumphs' It's selection for the coming weeks Dill should meet with unanimous approval not only from the regular patrons of the house but all who appreciate the beauties of splendid piece of dra' matte construction. Exceptional scenic effects are required for the proper pre- sentation of such a noteworthy offer ing and the care which has character. ized the past productions of the Poll players has been redoubled in the pre- naration of the electrical and scenic effects which play such an important part in the action of the drama. Espe cial ingenuity has been used in mak ing the celebrated escape of Dantes by sea from the Chateau Diff a most real istic piece of business. and not even Mr O'Neill could ask for better. II every detail the production will bt found to he perfect and the indica lions point to a sensationally success full week. Prices are 10. 2o and q cents: afternoons 10 and 70 cents. la dies 1o.

Human Nature.

We tried a new experiment in our town" said the man with silver-rimmed speetacles. We thought that the ten- dency to vanity was so great that there ought to be some reward for people who were capable of standing aside and re- joicing in the successof others. So we organized a society and arranged for the presentation of modesty medals"
 How did it work?"
 Badly. As soon as a man won one of the medals he would swell up and get So proud that we'd have to take it away from him."-washington Star.

the height of 36 feet. The method of raising forms and elevating concrete is by rope and pulley, attached to'pole, one end of which rests on barn roof and the other end in a fork made by fastening two poles together near their upper ends and extending somewhat above the desired height. The inside form is used as scaffold to work from. In making concrete I take one of cement to six of gravel using just water enough so as to pack or firm we'll. The inside of silo is finished by putting on a coat, composed of one part cement to two parts of fine sand, using form of scaffold by lowering. After finishing the sides the whole bottom is firmed, putting about eight inches of concrete and finishing as were the sides, making sure that no water can enter. The doors are two by two feet. Frames are made two by six for sides. and two by eight for top and bottom, cut to the circle of silo, all beveled on the inside so as to receive door made to fit opening. Doors are made of one by four, matched, nailed to curved edges of two pieces of two by four. cut to circle of alo. The two by four are just long enough to clear the inside of frame and the four-inch stuff projects far enongh at ends and sides to allow bevel to be made to fit bevel in frame. Bolts nine inches by three eighths are inserted through door near each end of two by four cross pieces. When these doors are in place the bolts are to go through two by four. cut just long enough to take in frame on outside. Before putting door in place put narrow strips of tar paper around beveled edges. and after door is in place put sufficient tar paper to cover inside of door, tapping we'll on concrete three or four inches). These doors are not to be put in place till needed in filling silo.

outside wood, which will be cut away, and thus avoid marring the pieces with nail holes.
 Patterns.
 When several pieces are to be sawed to the same shape pattern is first cut from thin piece of soft board, or some times of cardboard or very heavy draw ing paper. This pattern can be used to mark out any number of pieces of the same kind and saves much time and labor, besides giving greater uniformity.
 After the sides are sawed to shape the edges must be carefully filed and sand papered smooth, holding the paper on sandpaper stick, such as is shown at E in Fig. 57, and lastly sandpaper the sides and all the other parts of the rack. The three front strips may have their two front corners rounded as shown in the cross section at c in Fig. e7. and while this is not necessary it will add greatly to the appearance of the front of the rack. At B is shown q side view illustrating the method of construction and of connecting the sev- eral parts.
 When assembling the pieces, the two sides must first be screwed to the shelf piece of the rack. For this purpose four round-head brass screws one and one- half-inch No, 8will be needed. and for the three front. strips six round-head brass screws three-fourths inch No 6. The screws used for the back strips are the common fat-head, three fourths inch No. 6, the heads of which must be coun- tersunk into the strips so as to be flush or just little below the surface of the back.
 When boring the two side pieces for the larger screws, and also the ends of the strips for their screws, do not fail to bore the holes through them slightly larger than the diameter of the stem of the screw, just below the head. or of such size that the screws will pass through easily and without binding in any way.
 Then, after placing the piece in posi- tion, carefully mark, with any pointed instrument, through these larger holes for the smaller holes, which must in all cases be bored in the second piece for the threaded part of the screw In this way only can strong and firm connec- | tions be made. These directions regard. ing screws must be applied to all our future work, but will not be repeated If the wood is hard use beeswax on the screw threads
 This rack is hung on the wall by two brass screw eyes. such as is shown at [ in Fig. 67. These screw eyes are screwed into the edge of the upper strir near to its ends as shown in Fig 66.

or until the edge is worn very rounding. as at F, then it will again need filing and repolishing with the oil stone as at first
 Never use sandpaper on any surface on which it will afterwards be neces- sary to use plane or scraper The open grain or pores of the wood will be filled with the fine particles of sand loosened from the paper, and these hard, flinty grains will destroy the keen edge of the scraper or other sharp tool See to it that the surface is first planed and scraped smooth, and then, at the last, only polish with sandpaper.
 Sandpaper. Sandpaper is made in many grades, l from No. GOO very fine, to No. 3, which is very coarse For wood work Nos %, 0, F, 1, 1h and are the only grades | used. Sandpaper is made very cheaply | by machinery-a roll of strong paper l passing over a revolving brush, on a | large glue pot which coats it's surface rollers under distributing box of fine sharp sand of the required grade. The sand adheres to the glued surface and the paper is next dried by passing over heated rollers It is then cut into sheets or made up in rolls for the sandpaper machines.
 Magazine Rack. In Fig 66 is given an illustration of a magazine rack, which, as was directed l for former articles, should be made first of pine, so that its construction will be understood and some practice gained in the use of the bow saw and cabinet file. before making it of quartered oak As magazines are about seven inches wide, the rack may be made 22 inches or 29 inches between the sides, or even longer if desired.
 Having decided on the length of the rack, stock bill, or list of the pieces required, should be written out. This will prevent many mistakes and enable the worker to use greater economy in laying out and in cutting up his lumber The projection of the front and back strips over the two sides, as shown in Fig. 66, is one-quarter inch, and the thickness of the sides and of the shelf is one-half inch. If the rack is to be 2G inches long inside, our stock list will read as follows-all sizes being net, and always in inches:
 2pieces 21 by 3hxR-sides:
 l piece 29x31sxh-shelf
 pieces 30Rx1 Rx&-str for back
 3 pieces 301ax1x5-16 or A-fron1 strips.

"Great Medicine Man"

Dr. Robert Koch had a caravan con- sisting of 70 men when he visited Moro goro. in German East Africa, last month. The natives called him the great medicine man." and were aston ished at the size of his expedition. which had for it's object the study of the plague and of kind of fever which is communi- cated by the papasi, or bedbugs. and which has made one road almost impas- sable. It is not deadly. but makes inva- lids of the victims for weeks.

paper will give the necessary finish to the surface, provided the plane is sharp and if, when the surface is nearly com pleted, it is set so as to cut only very thin shavings. If quartered oak or other hard wood is used the grain is often torn out and roughened by the plane, owing to the cross grained and curly character of nearly all these woods. This crossing and interlocking of the fibers adds greatly to the beauty as we'll as to the value of the wood for furniture or decorative purposes.
 When blaming such woods the blaming bit must be kept very sharp - much sharper than for softer woods-and the cap iron must be set down to within q hair line of the cutting edge to break off the gnarled fibers and prevent them from tearing out below the surface be- ing planed. But even with this precau- tion the plane will tear and slightly roughen up all the fibers which lie at an angle, contrary to the direction in which the plane is moving.
 Take careful notice of the fact that no amount of sandpapering will ever smooth torn surface, and before using 1t finer cutting tool is necessary-the cabinet scraper. This tool is made of thin saw-plate steel and should be about 4 to inches long and to 31s inches wide.
 To sharpen the scraper, the two long edges are first filed flat and square, or at right angles to the sides. This is best accomplished by placing the scraper edge up in the bench wise, and, while holding the file squarely across the scraper push and draw it steadily side wise from end to end of the edge. This motion will produce drawing cut which will give very smooth square edge After filing the edge true and slightly rounding from end to end to prevent the corners from tearing, rub the edge smooth with an oil stone, not only on the edge, but also on both sides, until a perfectly smooth angle is pro- duced. Then with "scraper burnish- er"-shown at A. in Fig 65, or any very hard smooth steel implement, held fiat on the side of the scraper-as shown at B. force the edge down until it looks as shown at c. Return the scraper to the wise. and, holding the burnisher as al D by both hands lone end of the bur. nisher in each hand), turn this edge back until it can be felt and appears as shown at E.
 How to Use the scraper.
 To use the scraper hold it up at an an. gle of about thirty degrees from
