The bad man Of genuine sort rarely
looked the part assigned to him In the
popular imagination. The long haired
blusterer. adorned with a dialect that
never was spoken. serves very well In
eastern fiction about the west, but that
= not the real thing. The most danger.
Gus man was apt to be quiet and
smooth spoken. When an antagonist
clustered and threatened. the most
dangerous bad man only felt rising In
his own soul, keen and stern, that
strange exultation which often comes
with combat fur the man naturally

THE PEARL WORKERS.


a DstAleAen Iaasssry which u r,vs
Hundred Years oid.
The chief industry Of Bethlehem OF
Judaea is that Of the mother-of,pearl
workers.
The shells are brought from the Red
sea and IN the hands Of native artisans
are polished and carved. the larger into
elaborate designs. The smaller are cut
up for rosaries and crosses The work
s all done by hand. and the methods
are amazingly primitive TO a spectator
from the bone Of steam and electric
power. But the results are extraorii-
nary. The largest shell We saw was
carved In scenes from the birth Of
Christ. the agony in the garden and
the crucifixion, and had the general ef-
feet Of delicate frostwork. Under the
magnifying glass every detail was seen
to be perfect In outline and in finish.
II was exucuted to order for a wealthy
American and was TO cost Si60.
About $50 people make living by
this industry. which is 800 years old.
In the shops the workmen sit upon the
floor. their benches in front Of them.
The air Is full OF whitish dust. and the
light admitted by the single window
and the open door is so dim that the
exquisite tracery Of the wrought shells
Is mystery even before the visitor
notes how few. simple and crude are
the instruments employed. = Marion
Harland In Lippincott's.

PORTABLE FEED HOUSE AND BARREL.
go to such an expense as building q
portable feed cabin a barrel on wheels
may be fixed up quite cheaply. (See
cut for both of these.)
For outdoor feeding q trough four
feet long is excellent and will allow
six pigs to eat in comfort, three on
each side. For such a four foot trough
secure
One two-inch plank foot wide,
four feet long.
Two two-inch planks six inches wide,
four feet four inches long.
Two two-lEch planks one foot wide,
twenty inches long.
Three one-inch boards six inches
wide, four feet long.
The largest plank will constitute the
bottom, the two short planks the ends
and the two long narrow planks the
sides Of a fiat bottomed trough. Two
of the six inch wide boards should be
nailed between the end pieces near the
top In such q way as to make V
shaped trough. save that they should
not come together at the bottom by
about three inches. The other one inch
board should be nailed one edge up
in a vertical position between the two
ends. The upper edge should be about
one inch below the open bottom of the
false V shaped trough and the lower
edge about four inches from the bot
tom Of the trough. The purpose of the
false upper trough is to allow the feed
er to pour the feed into the trough,
even though the pigs are struggling to
get at the food. Such a trough is
easily kept clean, easily filled in spite
of crowding pigs, strong and durable.

TWO STYLES OF PIG HOUSE.

but lacks durability and is expensive.
Barb wire fencing can hardly be made
to turn small pigs \ good plan is to
have a woven wire feEce two or three
feet high and two or three strands of
barbed wire above the same to turn
the larger pigs. In addition, some
portable fencing should be on hand for
dividing the large fields into plots.
Wooden hurdles may be used and are
fairly economical. Wooden framed
wire netting hurdles are also very ef-
fective. Woven wire stretched tightly
Oh very firmly set posts, one at each
end of the proposed division line, with
stakes at intervals, is probably as
cheap and easily handled movable
fence as any (See illustration0

injury is noted by the farmer il Is at

and the further destruction that may
not become more obvious until the fol-
lowing spring Is charged up to the eff
feet of winter Now the young OF the
borer are footless grubs without eyes,
and living roots are with them essential
TO life. Let the roots wither or die
while the grubs are still young and they
must perish II while the insects are IN
this helpless stage, which continues
some time after the hay crop has been
removed. the land is broken and the
clover roots thrown up to the action of
sun and wind these will wither and dry
out, thus destroying the insects irfest-
ing them While this does not save the
clover. it destroys the pest so that 1t
does not develop and make its way to
other selds.

The Village Butch er.

The village butchers possible rehabil-
itatlon may be one factor in an In
crease Of the farmers receipts for his
products. While the large cities are
making an appeal for home dressed
meats, the consumer there cannot be
so certain of getting what he asks for
as can the resident of the village and
Of the smaller cities and towns, where,
with populations of 5000 to 10000 or
10000 nearly every one knows his
butcher and can more nearly depend
on home killed products, so that the
supply will be fairly represented by
the demand, and such butchers will, as
general rule, offer a more ready
market at higher prices for nearby
live stock of all kinds. This may be
better for the local butcher or may

Is that it would be better for the farm

Women Who Wear Well.

Ii is astonishing how great a change
few years Of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition OF many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brIlliance vanish Ike the bloom from a
peach which IS rudely handled. The
matron IS only dim shadow, faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to tho system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain Is robbing the cheek
Of its freshness and the form OF its
fairness.
As surely as the general health suffers
when there is arrangement OF the health
of the delicate womanly organs, so surely
when these organs are established in
health the face and form at once witness
to the fact in renewed comeliness. Nearly
a million women have found health and
happiness in the use of DR.. Pierce's Fa-

Cement Work.

1t seems that the foundation has
much to do with the success of cement
work, according to the Cement Era; for
stable floors or clay or loam one should
proceed as follows: Excavate six to
eight inches for foundations, fill in with
cinders, crushed stone or sand; spread
In three inch layers and tramp well.
Foundations should be we'll flooded and
allowed to stand for week or more in
order to become thoroughly compacted;
