arrangement has recently been patent
ed by a Pennsylvania inventor, and IS
shown in the accompanying illustra-
ton. This ventilatOr was designed to
admit the entrance of any amount of
fresh air, but at the same time to pre-
vent the air from flowing in in gusts.
When a window is raised, the wind
blows directly into the room. This is
impossible with this ventilator, tie

must come down through the open top,

broken before it reaches the room. The
ventilator is supported on hooks OH the

by raising and lowering the window

Much has been said and written on
the discomforts- and inconvenience OF
country life, but the truth is, life is
largely what you make it, whether in
city or country, and nowadays a coun-
try home has the greater advantages.
The trouble is, most farmers do not
realize how we'll off they are, and how
nearly ideal their homes and lives
might be. Free rural delivery Of mail
and the telephones have removed the
greatest objection to farm life-viz.,
isolation. All the luXuries Of city life
the country home may have, and eX-
pend a less amount Of energy to pro-
cure them than the city dweller must
do. The average city man works from
a. m. to p. M. and then mows his
lawn and sprinkles 1t, and does many
other chores while he is resting CD.
At the end of the year, If he is square
with the world, he counts himself
lucky; If he has saved one hundred
dollars, he feels that he has done well.
The city man puts in more hours Of
faithful work than any farmer does
he has to, or he'd lose his job. When
ever a farmer uses as much brains
about his work as a man who man
ages his own business in the city, he
may have more IuXuries than the aver
age city man, for the city man is linn
tied. and the farmer-king is not Ia
BILE luxuries Of all kinds may be had
in the country at less expense than in
the city, yet many farmers do with
out vegetables, fruit, butter and milk !;
their tables have no fine linens, no
festive flower pieces, and the unvary-
ing monotony Of bacon and potatoes,
bacon and potatoes is enough to dis
courage the strongest stomach and
knock a righteous liver galley west
If q man owns one acre of land, and
does not live IN a wholesome, civilized
manner, he has only himself to blame,
unless his wife may deserve just a
little of it. Brains and books are just
as necessary to a successful farmer IS
they are to a lawyer. After the buSi-
ness side of farm life is settled, the
dear, cosy home life is still left, and
this the city man cannot have, for his
home Is limited to four. walls and a
small lawn, while the country home in
cludes the orchard with its wealth Of
fragrant blossoms, or fruit-laden trees /;
the barn, with It's hayloft and hens
nests; the horses, that whinny their
greetings and touch you with their

pigs, that say "Howdy"-if only you
Understandable then, when you stroll
down the leafy lane, hand in hand with

A Monster Musical Instrument.

The most gigantic harp ever con-
structed, as far as the record goes,
was that made by Veritan, the provost
of Burkli near Basel, Switzerland, in
1877. That was a long while ago, but
the fame of NJ. Veritan's gigantic harp
was such that it is still occasionally
mentioned by writer's Oh the rare and
the wonderful, just as the sea serpent
bloody rain, live mastodons, ETC., are.
M. Veritan's colossal musical instru-
ment was 800 feet in length, and, on
that account, was constructed In an
open lot instead of in a harp factory.
1t was most simple in construction,
consisting of fifteen wires strung tight
ly between two poles. These wires
were of different sizes, the largest be-
ing One-sixth Of an inch in diameter
and the smallest one-twelfth Of an
inch. They were stretched north and
south and inclined in such a manner
as to form an angle Of from twenty
to thirty degrees with the horizon. This
queer instrument was not intended as
an exaggerated toy, but was construct
ed for the express purpose of foreteIl-
Ing changes in the weather, which were
calculated by Professor Yeritan ac-
cording to the different tones the In
strument made when the wind was
blowing through it.

necessary The improved crutch is
shown in the illustration. There is
very little difference noticeable. 1t
closely resembles the ordinary crutch
with one exception = and that ex-
ception is a spring near the low
er end. The spring is placed between
the usual rubber guard and the
end of the arms of the crutch and
is coiled around connecting rod. The
purpose of the spring is apparent at
once. 1t prevents the Earring which
is associated with the use of all

Most Frequent Cause of Divorce.

whats the most frequent cause Of
divorced" the lawyer was asked.
"It is nearly Incredible" he said,
"but a thing that causes divorce often
er than you'd imagine is married peo-
pies quarreling over their right to open
one another's letters.
"The husband will claim that he is
entitled to open the wlfe's mail. The
wife will claim that she is entitled to
open the husbands. IN the letters Of
neither will there be anything Of
private or compromising nature; but
nevertheless they both want to get their
mail inviolate-it enrages them to have
1t opened and read.
"Quarrels over the letter opening
question vex, L suppose, 80 per cent of
married couples. OF this so per cent a
distressingly large proportion go on
from bad to worse till they wind up
in the divorce court.
80, young man, when you come to
marry. leave your wife's mail alone,
no matter how she may pry into yours"

EAGLE REALLY A BIG HAWK.
Nest of the Bird of Freedom Is Adj
ded To Year by Year.


ded To Year by Year.
Eagles are popularity supposed to be
quite different from hawks, but in a
word they are nothing more than large
hawks. They reach sometimes the age
Of nearly 100 years They live singly
or in pairs and dwell in the wilder
places in all kinds of country, from
tropical deserts to the arctic regions.
In their search for food however, they
often wander far and embOldened by
hunger even approach the abOdes Of
man. In story books eagles have many
times been accused Of carrying off
young children, but such tales are I'M
reliable. The bald eagle, white-headed
eagle, white-headed sea eagle OF bird Of
Washington, is Of particular interest
to Americans as the national emblem Of
the United States, to which dignity it
was elevated on June 90 1882. The
name "bald' eagle originated from the
white head and the erroneous impress
sion Of badness it gives at a distance.
This bird measures about three or
six to eight feet in extent of wings
and weighs from six to twelve pounds.
Under most circumstances wary and
difficult Of approach, this eagle never
theless is often surprisingly tame and
unsuspicious. Unprovoked, it rarely at
tacks man, although such instances
have been reported. It prefers trees for
watching and roosting, but in spring
sometimes descends to ride the cakes
of ice in the river, apparently looking
for fish.
This species breeds throughout it's
range, wherever suitable places exist.
The nest is located nearly always in
the vicinity Of a stream or body Of
water. The fayOrite site is the top Of
a tall tree. Where there are no trees
rock or niche in a cliff serves the
purpose.
The same nest is occupied year after
year and annually repaired or augmen-
ted until it becomes an immense struc-
ture five six or even eight feet high
and as much in diameter, containing
1t usually forms a strong platform with
only a slight depression in the center
and easily sustains the weight Of a
man.
Ducks Of various kinds fall regular
~ a prey to the bald eagle, and they
are stolen from unwary sportsmen just
as readily as larger birds. Wounded
ducks, with those purloined from hunt
ers, form at some seasons a good share
of it's food At favorable opportunities
this eagle preys upon fawns and, press
ed by hunger, will sometimes attack a
fulI-grown deer, particularly if the lat
ter be wounded.
In most of the States of the Union
and in many Of the Canadian provinces
the bald eagle is protected by law, Ell
Their specifically or by general enact
ment. but in a few it is still specially
exempted from the provisions OF the
general nongame-protection acts.

question, How free is the ARR For
some time there has been discussion
of possible ways by which a nation
could exercise some sort Of control
over It's own air, as all nations con-
troll their territorial waters. Not only
has ballooning raised this question, but
wireless telegraphy has helped to make
1t pertinent The opinion was enter
tanned at both the congress and the
conference that it Is impracticable to
establish limits Of sovereignty over the
air, and that the only rights which
governments have in the premises are
such as "are rendered necessary to
their preservation in peace or in time
OF war" That is to say, no balloon
!st may hover over the territory Of
any nation and pollute its water-sup-
DIV or do other damage, nor may he
photograph Notifications from a bal
loon. Otherwise, and until further
notice, the air is free.

of belonging to some literary society

there Is q suggestion In a speech by

some societies that really engage In

One OF the lessons learned from
the late British army maneuvers is
that kites can be used for observa-
ton purposes when weather conditions
render work with the army ballons
lmpracticable. The plan used was the
suspension of a small car from the
lowest of a series of box kites. In the
car was placed a signal-service man
who made observations of the enemy's
camp and Notifications and reported
what he observed by means Of signal
flags. The kites held the car steady

STILL COMPLAINING.

story of the Desert Shows How OPP
timist and Pessimist Differ.
An optimist and a pessimist were
once travelling together in desert
country. They had walked far under
a broiling sun and they had become
SO thirsty that their tongues stuck to
the roofs of their mouths.
The pessimist was sure that they
would both die for lack of water. but
the optimist kept saying:
Courage. There may be spring
In the next ravine we come to-"
Far away on both sides of them, as
we'll as in front and behind them,
stretched the arid plain. They walked
on, hour after hour, and there was ap-
parently no change in the landscape.
1t was always red and dry and hot,
without a tree or tWig to relieve the
monotony.
But the optimist tried to encourage
his companion by saying:
at may not be as bad as it looks.
There may be gullies not far away
that we can't see. Let us keep on
hoping for the best"
The pessimist always replied that
the optimist was nursing a vain delu-
sion. Even if there were gullies or
canyons they were sure to be dry, as
those which they had crossed had
been.
The heat and their need of water al
most maddened them, but the OptimiSt
would not give up hope. Even when
he fell and was so exhausted that he
could not get up again he said:
Of we can manage to crawl on
little farther we may find water"
The pessimist called him a fool, but
helped him to get on his feet and they
staggered forward. They had gone
only a little way when they noticed
that a canyon opened in front of them.
The optimist gave feeble cheer and
expressed the belief that they were
about to find water.
'No," the pessimist replied. It'll be
the same old disappointment over
again. What's the use building up
hopes, only to have them wrecked?"
But they stumbled on down the steep
side of the canyon and at the bottom
found a little stream of water that is
sued from a fissure in the rock.
After they had stated their thirst
they stood up and looked at each other.
Heaven be praised" said the OPP
tlmist; chat was a draught fit for The
gods"
"Confound the luck" said the pes
simist, Il got my knees wet"
