De of use, writes correspondent of
Bee Culture.
The standard or upright part of my
litter is a 2h-inch boiler-tube
five feet nine inches long There
are three oak legs, five-eighths
by three by four feet six inches
One end each of these three
strips is fastened to the upright pipe
is inches from the lower end. The
other end is connected to the lower
end of the pipe by a light iron brace,
making triangle of each leg. The
angle is such that the lower end of
the upright is three or four inches
above the ground. Three light iron
braces about ten inches from the cen
ter connect the legs and hold them the
right distance apart The upper part
of the litter is piece of barn-door
track three feet nine inches long II
extends out two feet four inches from
the center, and is free to make a COM
plote circle.
The tackle block may move in
toward the center or out to the end of
the track; bolt through the end of
the track prevents 1t from running off.
The end OF the track has supported
the weight of a 210-pound man.
This machine weighs about 40
pounds. 1t is heavier than necessary.
The proportions and details could be
much improved, making lighter ma.
chine; but just as it is, it is very easy
to handle, as one can take good
hold with scarcely any STOPPING.

them into the patent setting hens.
You ask why they do this? Well, it's
simple proposition. 1t takes three
weeks to the day for eggs to hatch
out. AS soon as you get chickens
you begin to feed them to beat
everything. The brooders, in which
they are kept in winter to keep them
warm, are fairly alive with the little
fellows, and by stuffing them with
corn and wheat we soon have chick
ems as big as squads and kill them
for broilers. You know what they
are-the highest kind of chicken
meat. You can't blame the farmers
foT boarding their eggs when you
know the profit there is in broilers.
Then you get as much per pound as
you get for dozen eggs at forty
cents dozen. Its only the law of
supply and demand which makes
eggs high, as everything else. Let all
the farmers turn all their eggs into
market, and you will see the price
come down; let them hoard .their
eggs for Matching and up goes the
price. It's simple when you know
the truth. ."-Philadelphia Record.

Why Fruit Acids Are Wholesome.

Fruit acids destroy all kinds of
disease germs. This answers the
question why our fruits are promo
ters Of health. Disease germs are
ever present in the mouth, throat,
stomach and bowels. If these germs
can be destroyed by such agreeable
medicine as fresh apples, peaches,
pears, grapes, strawberries and rasp-
berries, blackberries, currants and
other similar fruits, why should we
not partake of them freely, thus
avoiding doctors bills? Remember
that it is easier to keep well than to
get well after you are once sick.
This does not mean to infer that
you should stuff yourself with fruit
at all hours of the day or night;
some people can eat fruit in this way,
but most of us should eat our fruits
at meal time, or before or after
meals.
1t is good practice to keep lemons
upon the table continually, and on
rising in the morning squeeze a
tablespoonful Of lemon juice into
glass of water and drink it as soon
as you get out of bed; two or three
times day drink a glass of water
into which has been placed a tea
spoonful of lemon juice. Lemon juice
purifies the water by destroying the
germs of disease that may be con-
tained in the water, and more than
this, when we drink this lemon juice,
diluted by water without sugar, we
destroy the germs Of disease which
are in our systems. One reason why
rural people are more healthy than
city people is that they eat more
fruit.
But there are other reasons why
fruits are healthful. They are easily
digested. If we eat fruit at meal
time we are not so inclined to over
eat such foods as meat and greasy
substances.-Green's Fruit Grower.

The Price of Eggs.

what the cause u.s." said New Jer-
sey farmer to Dock street merchant
the other day. '''They think we are
trying to bleed them, but if they
really knew the truth, they wouldn't
have much to say, don't believe.
Of course you fellows here on Dock
street know the causes, but the ordi-
nary person doesn't. Do you. know
why eggs are scarce? It's not be-
cause the hens are not working as
hard as usual. Some may be taking
a vacation, it's true, but it's because
the farmers are saving their eggs
for incubators. About this time OF
the year the poultry raisers collect
all the fresh eggs they can and pile

The Quest of Two Moons.
BY FRANKLIN WELLES CALKINS.

down in the end, or fight my Brules.
"The wretched prospect of another
Indian uprising was staring me IN
the face, and I had not even COM
munication by wire with the outside
world. I went back to the cow-men,
to be witness against them and for
my Indians in the last extremity.
Had the night been dark, should
have had hope that Little Chief and
Two Moons might crawl through the
lines or make a dash and get away;
but there was a brilliant full moon,
and man could be seen quite plainly
at 200 yards. The cowboys stood,
or grimly sat, at intervals of fifty
yards, and a rabbit could not have
passed their line without discovery.
Farrell was not at all pleased to
see me when l bivouacked at his
stand. He was offish in conversation,
not exactly rude, but with a tone
which said, You may camp here, it's
q free range-too free for interfer-
ence of any sort!'
"By midnight other cow-men be-
gan to arrive, and by daylight there
were twenty-five or thirty at hand.
Evidently these men expected sortie
by the agency Sioux, and were pre-
pared to fight. Losses from stock
'rustling' of late had exasperated the
whole district of the Antelope. Each
man of these besiegers carried mag
azine gun and two revolvers, and was
belted. with metallic cartridges, SO
that, in the distance, he appeared to
be uniformed in copper plate.
II knew that, if not interfered
with, they would rush my Indians
and end the business as soon as they
had coffee and bite to eat. While a
detail was passing coffee and hard
biscuit along the line, my Sioux put
in all appearance. To the number of
fifty odd these filed out of coulee,
in glitter of oiled guns an6 copper
shells, and took position, sitting their
horses, like a group of bronze and
armored statues, at 600 or 700 yards.
They were the pick of my agency,
armed, doubtless, with all the guns
and cartridges that could be collected
on Antelope Reservation.

"Strange BenevoIence."

One day, riding with a friend in
one of our leading cities, I noticed a
stately and palatial residence, to
which called my friends attention.
He said: "That beautiful mansion
was built for its proprietor by beneV-
olent gentlemen of this city and com.
munity.9 Sr-
, And by further conversation I
learned that some men gave their
own clothing, others gave their pianos
and organs, and some donated their
carpets, pictures and furniture. 9th
ers sacrificed nearly all the food OF
pantry and cellar, and most Of the
clothing of the wardrobe belonging
to the wife and children.
Some gave their SONS ITO dissipa"
ton, while their daughters became
outcasts. The majority Of these
benevolent gentlemen deposited their
good name, their reputation, charac-
ter and all-mind, body and soul
all to erect this stately mansion for
the man who occupies it and owns 1t.
4. They also have given him the finest
suit of broadcloth and brilliant dla-
mond pin, while they have dressed
his wife and children in silks and
satins. They also keep the pantry,
cellar and wardrobe filled to over
flowing. -.
Strange benevolence! Who are
these benevolent ones, and who is the
man living in the stately mansion,
surrounded by every luxury? Can
you guess?-O. F. Laughbaum, in

THE RACCOON DOG.

We are just at the tail end of the
coon season, for the sweet corn has
ripened, and our friends have been
down from the mountains and woods,
snjoying themselves, as is their right
and privilege. The observant night
timer, putting down his bats and TAX
Ing up his cells, will have noticed
the tracks Of Procyon lotor along the
brook side, for he likes variety. But
as different hounds are suitable for
different countries, 80 are coon dogs
Of great good in one place, and OF
no account in another. He may be
Of great service, where the topo-
graphy is open and extensive, and the
same dog can just as well be at
home, say as on the western bank OF
the Hudson, from twenty to thirty
miles north of New York. Your
country barber even, is a philosopher
In sport; and 1t was the dictum OF
isparkill, N. T., knight of the strop,
who 'expoupded in this way to me,
the other day. A coon's skin hang
ing on the wall by this single-handed
hairdresser suggested the conversa-
ton on 'coons and coon dogs. Said
he: "The truth of it is, Southern
coon dog Is no good here; they can
keep their hounds. What we want
Is a terrier dog, and I'd take an
Airedale terrier and hound cross for
choice. But we want 'em Silent as
the grave till he comes to the tree,
where mister coon has gone up, and
then he can holler like fire bell If
he likes. Your hound is too noisy,
and Mr.. Coon is off and gets such
a start that he's under fifty million
tons of Palisades rock and rubbish
before you can count twenty. Give
me the terrier that will quickly fol-
low his trail, and then rush him to
his tree. We can do the rest. Your
noisy hound, hereabouts, is no good.
I'd give hundred dollars for quiet
coon dog myself, and there's
Mr.. - "a we'll known. millionaire
with sporting tastes), who'd give me
four hundred on my bargain. There
amt a good coon dog to be had,
and that's why we're not getting
coons this fall" And who shall say
that our Sparkill friend was not
right?-From Recreation.
