An S-foot windmill working in an
average wind will pump in the cir
eumstances here specified about IT'S
gallons of water per hour. 1t should
be provided with a 1A-inch pipe and
a Finch pump cylinder. A 12-foot
mill in the same circumstances would
pump about $40 gallons of water per
hour and should be provided with a
11s-inch pipe and 3-inch pump cylin-
der. 1t is likely that the correspon-
dent can decided for himself from
these particulars what size of mill it
would be best for him to erect AS
to controlling and stopping the mill,
the manufacturers of these machines
can, undoubtedly, give the best advice
on the matter.

She saw he wasn't hero after the
curtain fell
Then"
He advanced toward her, his SIMS
ter dark eyes telling of darker pur-
pose. Before he grasped her the fool
entered, unprompted The lady sprang
to his side, and this time he did not
bend his head for her tiny foot, but
looked squarely into the bitter eyes
of the prince who sought to destroy
his mistress.
"The fool" sneered the prince.
"Ay! And yet a man. Now, on
your knees, my lord, and beg this
lady's pardon!"
There was nothing like it in the
lines he recited nightly and yet twas
delivered with strange dramatic pow

Behind the painted mask none cared
to look, the Jester himself least of all.
With 1t on he dared to approach the
princess. Unmasked and dressed as
humankind, he consorted only with
she serfs of the show. That is why
he liked the mask best. Yaco-com-
panion of mock lords and dukes-was
better than Barney Fairleigh, derelict
on the tide of life. She smiled at
waco, but looked not toward Barney.
1t made all the difference in the
world. OF course the play demanded
the smiles, but nevertheless they came
quite natural, and increased her
beauty.
At one place he bowed so low be-
fore her that she placed a tiny foot
upon his impossible hair,i and this is
the nearest he ever came to touching
her. The thrill of that contact made
him her slave. While he played the
footstool the testers eyes modestly
sought the floor. His dismissal came
when the princess said:
waco, away Here comes his high
ness!"
The heir apparent, all gold and vel
vet, was tall and black-eyed and
young. Yaco hated him with right
good will The princess loved him
in the play. In reality, she did not
know. The prince loved her in the
play and imagined he did in reality
Before the footlights he had a rival,
whom the audience saw was unworthy
of her. In natural life the coast was
clear. On the stage the prince made
love furiously. Off of it he bided his
time. Just before the curtain fell on
the last act the fool sang a quaint love
song over the happy ending of the ro-
nance between the prince and the
princess. Then he slouched over to a
saloon and took the taste of the song
from his mouth. He mistrusted the
prince off the stage, but was his loyal
servant while on 1t.
To an outsider the situation would
have seemed complex. To the fool it
was crystal clear. The lady could not
love him; she ought not love the
prince; the prince did not know how
to love her. All these between the
dropping of the last curtain on one
night and its ascent the next night.
Stand back, thou fool" the gallant
prince said when he sought to kiss
the lady's hand.
And the fool stood back.
But that was in the play, and as the
heroine smiled indulgently he did not
mind.
When the court of tinsel and paint
ed castles had moved far to the west
ward there came dreary day. The
people who we're expected to pay the
customs that the throne might stand
became sadly remiss in their obliga-
tons, and mercenary landlords and
unawed by royalty, clam
ored for their shekels. The prince

Making Use of an Heirloom,

A certain young woman in town is
the proud possessor OF stunning old
fashioned brass-nail studded chest. 1t
is an heirloom, having been handed
down from New England relatives. 1t
is the joy of her life.
She really didn't know quite how
much she did think of it until friend
of an exceedingly practical turn of
mind wondered why she didn't make
cretonne cover and valance for it.
1T would make such a nice seat"
remarked the friend-New York Sun.

2. Eastwood does very well If 1t is
well seasoned before it is put up. But
ternut is very nice for an inside finish.
Beech would not be as nice, and it
would be hard to work. 8. 1t should
be stored in an open shed for a year
or two and then kiln dried.

Vessel Found With Bottom Up.

There are fears for the safety of the
crew of the bugeye MAYA of Cape Charles
City, Va, which was found floating bot
tom up in Chesapeake bay a day two
ago by the tug Neptune of Baltimore.
Capt. Thompson of the Neptune reports
that when he sighted the vessel he went
alongside her, but found no evidence of
life The small boat belonging to the YES
sci was floating at her side, and from this
fact the fear arises that the vessel was
overturned in a sudden squall and all
aboard lost. An effort was made to pump
the vessel out, but without success. She
lies in the path of vessels and is danger
Gus to navigation. The MAYA is owned by
John A Hudgins, who commanded her.
She is vessel forty-three feet long and
was built at Upper Trappe, Md, in 1887.
