REMOVING THE WAGON BOX.

The upright pole is by by IA feet
and is set several feet in the ground, SO
that 1t will be firm enough In its posi-
ton to stand the strain which Is re-
quired of 1t. The platform on which
the rear end of the wagon box rests
when it is to be raised from the wagon
may be made any height SO as to suit
the height Of the trucks. Two guy
wires should be attached to the pole
foot or so from it's top and be secured
eight or ten feet In the rear of the plat
form. The rope which Is used to do
the lifting is attached at one end Of the
upright pole near its upper end. From
there 1t continues on to pulley hooked
In a rope which passes around the
front end of the wagon box, then back
over pulley in the top of the pole and
down to windlass at the rear end of
the platform. When the wagon box Is
in it's final position on the platform, it
should stand upright and should be
left attached to the rope, so that it can
not be blown down in case of winds

Experienes with Manure sprsadar.

My experience with the manure
spreader teaches me that the modern
method of applying manure to land is
far in advance of the old practice. says
a writer in Farm and Fireside. In ap-
plying manure with the spreader it is
put on uniformly, and all parts of the
field are equally benefited. When the
manure was dumped in piles, it fire.
quently happened that the work of
spreading was postponed for some
time, and the result was that much of
the fertilizing value of the manure
leached out or was lost through fer
mentation. The manure spreader not
only saves the plant food elements Of
the manure, but also saves time and
labor, as the work is all done at one
time. 1t does two very important
things and does them well-it thor
oughly fines the manure and distrib-
utes it evenly.

HornIess Cattle.

The time will come when horned cat
tie will be bred only as curiosities or
for show purposes, as fancy breeds Of
poultry are now. The advantages Of
the mulleys are so many that the horns
must go. 1t is just as easy to breed
cattle without horns as with horns,
and 1t Is great deal easier to take
care OF them afterward.- -Farm Press.

The Book Thief's City.

A Paris correspondent, writing to
a paper in Berlin. says: Paris is the
home of the great book thief. 1t is
just sixty years since Count Libri,
librarian of the National Library.
fed to England, taking with him
books to the value of 100000
francs, belonging to the library. He
was sentenced in contumaciam' to
ten years imprisonment, but never
served day and never returned a
book. The directors had to purchase
them from people to whom they had
been sold, and paid large prices for
them. A similar theft has recently
been discovered in the library of the
Ecole des .Beaux Arts. Here also the
thief remains unpunished because
he died before his crime became
known. A good name covers much
and the thief, who was NJ Thomas.
an officer of the Legion of Honor,
architect of the Grand Palais and re-
cipient of the Roman prize, was at
liberty to plunder the library at will.
ile was an eAlh uSldSI Ou lue SUBJECT
of old engravings and photographic
curiosities, and could satisfy his de-
sires in that direction without moles-
tation on the part of the custodians.
His method was to tear engravings
from books or to carry away the
whole work. In this manner he ac-
quired books and pictures to the
value of about 100000 francs. -
The Thomas thefts brought to light
the fact that no inventory had ever
been made of the 9eaux Arts Lii
brary, and that instead of modern
catalogue antique slips and memo
randa furnished all the information
as to the valuable collection.

HE'S THE WHOLE CREW.
Skipper Hall the Cook and the Mate
and the Bos'n Bold on the Angler.

Captain Parker j. Hall, of Nam
tucket, skipper of the two masted
schooner Angler, is his own mate,
steward and crew. His stated rea-
sons for it are not that he is moody
or fond of his own company, or that
it is more economical, but simply
that, because of an impediment in his
speech, he feels that he can think
out and execute his own orders more
rapidly than any crew could under
stand him If he tried to talk.
Captain Hull is native OF Dux-
bury, Mass, but his home is his
schooner, and on board her his young
wife goes about her housekeeping
duties just the same as she would
were it an ivy grown cottage.
The Angler herself is no chicken,
says the Boston Herald. She was
built in 1854 and her owner found
her an abandoned hulk, half buried
in the sand. He bought her for next
to nothing, fitted her with second
hand spars and began to make liv-
LIE anu IL HdluS LOi ululSSll III llc
coastwise trade.
His brother mariners find fault
with him for recklessness, on the
ground that his holding irons are not
big enough. Skipper Hail is forced
to put up with anchors much lighter
than those of the average craft of the
Anglers build carries, because it
would be impossible for any one man
to raise the heavy kind unaided.
He recently made record run
across the Sound under full sail and
came up into anchorage in fine shape,
before the admiring gaze of half the
town. To enter the harbor Skipper
Hall had to make a run through the
heavy ice between the jetties at the
bar. The drift of open water was
very narrow, and the revenue cutter
Gresham ran down to see II she could
be of any possible assistance.
The crew OF the Gresham are talk
ing yet of the surprise tb ir captain
got. when he saw one man bringing a
two Arassed schooner through the
narrow drift.

Fathers in tile Home.
BY Alta.

The mothers generally receive all
credit for the training of child who
makes himself a gres name. I'm
what my mother made me-" is an oft
quoted phrase which has much truth
In it-and we like to hear 1t from the
lips of great men. But it is just as
true and oh, how sadly true, on the
lips of the glutton, the drunkard, the
criminal. Her neglect may have
caused the boy to choose evil asso.
ciates who dragged him down to the
lower strata of society. Just here is
where the fathers good work in the
home comes in. They understand
better to what evils boy will be ex-
posed, they understand better, also
what kind of a young man should be
accepted as his daughters suitor.
The mothers love Is beautiful but
there Is something peculiarly sacred,
sweet and strong in a fathers love.
I often recall this story by an old
soldier. He said: 81 think one OF
the saddest incidents of the war
which came under my observation
was just after the battle of Gettys-
burg. Off on the outskirts, seated on
the ground with his back against a
tree, was soldier, dead. His eyes
we're riveted on some object clasped
tightly in his hands. AS we drew
near we saw that 1t was an ambro-
type of two small children. Man
though was, hardened through long
years of carnage and bloodshed, the
sight of that man who had looked on
his children for the last time in this
world, who, far away in a secluded
spot, had rested himself against a
tree, that he might feast his eyes on
his little darlings, brought tears to
my eyes which l could not restrain
There were six of US in the company
and we all found great Jumps rising
in our throats, and mists gathering
before our eyes, which almost blind
ed US. We stood looking at him for
some time. I was thinking of the
wife and baby | had left at home, and
wondering, how soon in the mercy OF
God, she would be left widow, and
my baby boy fatherless. We looked
at each other and instinctively
seemed to understand.
Not word was spoken, but we
dug grave and laid the poor fellow
to rest with his childrens picture
clasped over his heart. Over his
grave, on the tree against which he
had leaned, inscribed the words:
Somebody's Father"

WORDS OF WISDOM.
July u, IoOo'
From the Indiana Farmer.

Some men are born great, but the
majority don't even have greatness
thrust upon them.
It sometimes happens that when an
actor finds things coming his way he
tries to dodge them.
There may be plenty Of room at
the top, but victims of that tired
feeling never reach it.
Men who boast of their virtues
would probably have more to say
If they enumerated their vices.
And the ,-ore energy a man ex-
pends in talking the less he will have
left to assist him in making good.
Many a man would be unable to
paddle his own canoe II he couldn't
borrow some other mans paddle.
Genius is said to be a certain form
of madness, but the madness OF most
people is more or less uncertain.
1t may not be your fault If you
have never been in Jail; more than
likely it's due to your good fortune.
A mans idea of good luck is any
old kind that leaves him few dol
lars ahead of the other fellows game.
Don't sit down and think about
what you would do if you could live
your life over. Get busy and i'm
prove the rest of it.
It's waste of time to attempt to
dodge a hypocrlte. He knows more
dodges in minute than you will
learn in a lifetime.
And when you hear a man boast
of his ancestors it's a safe bet that
his descendants will have no occasion
to boast OF theirs.-Bakers' Helper.

The six and half million people
in Greater London live in 92S,008

ago was just one-fifth what it is now.
Though the number of births was
nearly double the number Of deaths
in 1904, the birth rate is steadily de-
clining.
The postal figures show that in
1905 there were 1923 postofices in
London, and 2435 public telephones
working. The total imports at Lon
don in 1904 amounted to sS49,0S6,-

TIE CANDLE.

sNor do men light candle and put it
under a bushel"-Alatt. 5:l5.
Four candle is so small, so small,
IL makes scarce any light;
The feeble word you may let fall,
Has neither strength nor might!
And there be many greater ones
Who outshine you by far,
AS do the sky-iluming suns
Outgrow the farthest star!
But of all good sounds ever heard
There is none half so fair
AS one uncalculated word
That soothes some dim despair,
And what dull sky it would be
IL all the points Of light
Were gone, and we might only see
The suns of wondrous might.
He who holds up his little flame
Knows not what stranng eyes
May find it guiding them from shame
Into paradise;
AL NAV not climb the lofty steep,
All may not lead the throng,
But each may shelter and may keep
Aglow some word or song.
We know not how our candle CLEANS,
It may be sconced in gold,
Or it may send its cheering CLEANS
From some cup worn and old.
And that which fate has held apart
From pathways wide and grand,
NAV glow with light which finds a heart
Attuned to understand.
The little word, the little smile,
The little song YOU know
These make the candle all the while
That we must keep aglow.
And we may think its trembling light
Unnoticed by all eyes
But there is greater dark of night
When that lone candle dies.

Looking Forward.

Frankly, no." replied the super
intendent of the street railway, who
had been summoned before the board
Of directors to explain certain irregu-
larities. "The service is not what it
ought to be. But what am I to do?
1t is virtually impossible to get the
public to complain when they are
accommodated, and unless l find out
about this by accident, l can take no
steps to vindicate the rules of the
company. Spoilers are no great re-
lance. They will detect an occasional
courtesy on the part of conductor
or motorman, if it is very fragrant,
and that is all. If the men are not
at all SLY, they can, if they choose,
be tolerably considerate of the COM
fort and convenience of patrons, with
virtual impunity, and they know it
only too well. I see nothing for it
but to bide our time, until we shall
have been able, by laborous selec-
