BOX FOR TYING WOOL.

sheepman who describes the two ways
of tying wool in Orange Judd Farmer.
In boxing the fleece can be done up
in more compact form with the use
Of less Irvine and is less liable to come
to pieces In handling. Buyers, how
ever, do not make any serious objec-
ton TO either form when properly done.
First the shearer should endeavor to
keep the fleece In as nearly compact
form as possible. After removing all
tag locks lay the fleece flesh side down
and after closing in the edges fold over
toward the center from all sides, fold
ing over enough to make a bundle
about foot square; then turn the
fleece over on about four feet Of Irvine,
passing it around the second time the
opposite way, and tie firmly. The same
process is gone through In preparing 1t
for the box.

Cut your strings about three feet long
and lay them on the board, as indicat-

box, fold up the sides. then the end

ends of the strings are handy to tie to-

opera Under DimcuItIe..

A contemporary account says. AT
the first performance of la Traviata'
the tenor, Grazlani, took cold and sang
bis part throughout In hoarse and al.
most inaudlble voice. M. Yaresi, the
baritone, having what we would call a
secondary role, took no trouble to bring
out the dramatic Importance Of this
short but capital part, so that the eff
feet Of the celebrated duet between
Vloletta and Germ0nd in the second
act was entirely missed. Nine. Dona-
tell, who impersonated the delicate,
sickly heroine, was one Of the stoutest
ladies on the stage or of 1t, and when
at the beginning of the third act the
doctor declares that consumption has
wasted away the young lady and that
she cannot live more than q few hours
the audience was thrown into a state
Of perfectly uproarious glee, state
very different from that necessary to
appreciate the tragic action Of the last
act" No wonder that La Traviata"
made a fiasco under these trying cir
cumstances! Yet when more adequate
ly performed the opera soon became an
immense favorlte with audiences Of all
nations, and Verdi had no reason to
remember the disasters attending It's
first appearance In public.

RURAL WATER SUPPLY.
Its Sanitary Condition Not what /
Ought to he.


It's Sanitary Condition Not what II
Ought to BE.
When such great sums Of money are
being expended by city governments
that the inhabitants of towns may have
sanitary water supply it seems
strange that the supply in rural towns
should receive little or no attention.
This latter population may seem rela.
lively Insignificant, but it comprises
about 40,0O0,000 souls. This means that
those 100000 people are drinking the
water most available without a thought
Of Its sanitary condition.
These various sources OF supply,
whether wells, springs or small
streams, are similarly unreliable for
furnishing drinking water The Stats
tics Of mortality In the country are
very indefinite, but even these show
that the rural population is not as free
from illness as it should be. And
though everywhere the rural death rate
is lower than the urban death rate, yet
the lowering In the country has not
been as great as In the city. An exam
nation Of typhoid statistics shows that
the death rate of other diseases is gen.
orally lower In the country than in the
city, but the prevalence of typhoid Is
almost equal to If not greater in the
rural districts than In the cities.
Several instances have been reported
which show the rural typhoid rate to
be ten times greater than the urban
rate for the same district. To particu-
larize. certain district In central
Pennsylvania proves this fact 1t IS
made UP Of rural population with 100
inhabitants to the square mile. 1t is q
region Of fine farms, wild mountains
and woods, country residences and pic
mic groves. And In this valley there
has been as much typhoid fever az In
the city Of Philadelphia.
Sad as this condition is, there seems
to be no remedy for 1t. The sources Of
city water supply are few and the
city government easily controls the
conditions affecting 1t. But what can
be done when the sources Of supply
are numbered by the thousands? A
mint OF money and an army Of chem
lists would not be sufficient to give the
same care to the country supply that is
given to that Of the city.-New York
Herald.

girl directly announced that she meant

plaster cast and left for the proper
length of time to knit. When the day
came to take off the cast the girl ran
out to the henhouse In great eagerness
to see the result. Presently there was
scream that brought every member

AN ODD BIRD.
The Kiwi of New Zealand Has Some
Remarkable PecuIiarities.

The Kiwi of New Zealand Has Some
Remarkable Peculiaritiess
That queer bird, the klwi, Is native
Of New Zealand. Its remarkable pc
culiarities are, first, the apparent alb
senee of wings, as the plumage so
covers the small. rudirnentary, stick
like appendage of wing that none
whatever is apparent The situation
Of the nostrils at the bilps extremity
is a second peculiar feature. While
hunting for earthworms it probes the
soft ground, making continual snuff
ing sound. Thus the scent is evidently
Of great help in finding food and the
reason for the position of the nostrils
quite apparent.
A third popularity is the very dispro-
portlonate size of the egg in compari-
son to the bird, 1t being q little less
than one-fourth the birds own weight.
One kiwi's egg found weighed four
teen and one-half ounces, while the
bird weighed Just under four pounds
(six. ~ our Ounces) and was about the
size Of an ordinary hen.
The plumage Of the kiwi is dull
brown streaked with light gray, and
the body resembles a miniature hay
shock, rather badly hacked off at the
rear part, as nature has not provided
the Nwi with such decoration as tall
The absence Of wings Is compensated
for by It's swlftness Of foot, and the
large, clumsy looking legs, which are
sometimes used as weapons, are placed

HABITS OF TIE RICH.

lola In his youth, before fame cam,
to him, wrote some stories about mil.
lionalres, wherein it seemed to him he
exaggerated shamefully in his descrlp.
lions of the costly homes and habits OF
the rich, but later on, when lola be
same friend of millionaIres, he found
that his accounts of their extravaganza
had fallen far short of the truth.
In the same way stories about the
extravaganza Of American millionaires
that sound like exaggerations may also
fall short of the truth Here, for In
stance, are some facts that an interior
decorator Of New York supplied the
other day. They sound extreme, but
let lola be remembered.
A man bought for his hall twelve
antique marble columns at Pompeii
Finding he could use only eight of the
columns he had the remaining four de
stroyed, although he was offered for
them twice what he had paid. He had
paid $1,000 apiece.
Aubusson carpets, with a pile three
inches thick, are often made to order
at cost Of $40 q yard. Such cost,
though, Is nothing beside what Is or
dinarily paid for antique rugs. They,
measured by the yard, often cost $500
or 5000 yard.
Chairs of ivory inlald with wood are
sold at $500 apiece.
One mllllonaires piano cost $150,000.
A five inch band Of ivory, four years in
the carving, runs around the case,
which was decorated by Everett Shinn.
The gold and silver plate Of one
household requires an expert to look
after it The man is goldsmith, and
bis salary Is $1,000 year.
Billiard rooms sometimes cost $780,
300 to furnish. The tables and cues
are inlaid with ivory and gold.
Certain wines-Schloss johannesburg,
For instance, stamped with the crest Of
Prince Matternich--are sold at private
sales to mIllionaires for $40 and $50 a
bottle
Automobiles Of ninety or more horse
power. made to order, will cost from
10000 to $4,000 Some millionaires
Keep a dozen or more automobiles,
With a head chauffeur at $4,000 or
