terial, including sand, gravel, bOulders
and cement, and set to work upon the
frame
The frame was made of one-inch
plank of different widths. The &C
companying line cut gives a good idea
of the method used in constructing
this frame. The outside frame was
ten feet long and 21a feet wide, with
the ends bolted together, as indicated
in E. The ends measured four feet
ten inches by 2k feet. The length OF
the inside frame at the top was eight
feet 7A inches, at the bottom eight
feet IA inches; the ends at the top
three feet ten inches and the bottom
three feet four inches. This frame
was 21a feet deep. The figure shows
how the cleats are put on to hold the
ends in place. l used eight one-half
inch bolts for the outside and set two
by twos, so the bolts would reach.
BY making the top of the crate
larger than the bottom the wall at the
bottom is thicker, thus making the
inside wall slope out. This gives the
thawing ice a chance to rise. Wedges
should be used on end boards of in
side crate and small nails for mailing
on the cleats for the ends of the in
side crate These should be nailed
just so they hold the boards in place.

crates, but would advise the use of

The new era in farming is forcing
itself more and more upon the atten-
ton of the general public outside the
farming communities. Hardly a mag
azine or paper can be picked up with
out some article, comment or editorial,
being found which bears upon the sub
ject. A late number of the Review of
Reviews contains an article by Richard
H. Edmonds upon the strides which
agriculture is making in which he
says: I'VE have reached a time of i'm
restoration of fertility to the soil.
Much is heard about the increase in
the fertilizer trade of the country
and the development of this industry
has been commensurate with that or
other large business interests, but the
real improvement of farming is found
more largely in better methods of
handling the soil than in the wider use
of commercial manureS. Scientists
are teaching farmers re and there,
and from them others are learning,
how to rejuvenate and rebuild their
land by the use of alfalfa, cowpeas,
vetch and other crops. They are learn.
ing how to diversity their products
Increasing wealth and the gain in pop
ulation are creating an almost unlim-
tied market for the diversified crops.
The orchard, the truck garden, the
dairy, are all yielding their fair share
of wealth and helping materially to
swell these great totals of agricultural
output and increase in farm values"

KILLED CHILD
AS A SACRIFICE
Parents Belief Fanatic to
be Almighty.

NAZARETH, PA, May 1.-(SpeciaD
"A financial frenzy, which lasted for
two days and two night, terminated
yesterday when Robert Bachman, who
is alleged to believe that he is the
Almighty in person, offered up May
Irene Smith, five-year-old daughter
of Henry Smith, a member OF the
borough council of Alliance, as a re-
Iigious sacrifice Bachman's wife
says he stamped the child to death,
saying her body housed a devil. Bach
man has been arrested, as well as
the parents Of the dead child, who
calmly accept her murder as a di-
vine decree.
Bachman is the leader of a strange
sect, known as the House of God,
and not only his wife, but Smith, who
is his brother-in-law, and the remain
der of the followers, regard him as
the Almighty and king Of all man
kind. They consider him all power
full, and incapable of doing wrong
Last Saturday Smith and his wife
accompanied by their little daughter,
drove here from Alliance. They said
they had come to join the faith and
would not do home until they were
satisfied that they had been thorough
ly converted Early on Sunday Bach
man and his wife and Mr.. and Mrs.
Smith started a service at Bach
mans house, where nearly all the
meetings of the fanatics have been
held and these was no cessation, so
the neighbors say, from that time
until yesterday.

The only account that can be OBJ
tanned of the child's death is told by
Mrs Bachman. She says the little
Smith girl, after retiring last evening,
slipped out of bed two or three times.
That annoyed Bachman, she says, and
he declared that the child had de-
vii, and a devil could not live in a
house where God" reigned. The child
was thrown to the floor by Bachman,
who, Mrs. Bachman declared jumped
on the child and stamped out her
life.
Mrs. Bachman says she attempted
to stop her husband, but now she is
sorry she interferred, because she
is convinced her husband was di-
rected by the God in him to offer up
the child as a sacrifice, and she fears
she is in danger of going to hell for
having attempted to check the will
of heaven.
After the Smiths found that their
only child had been killed they bow
ed meekly and said they were salts
fed that it was Gods work. They
would make no complaint.
Bachman and his wife and both
parents of the dead child were COM
mitted to the county prison this
evening by direction of County Detec-
tive Johnson They sang as they
were taken to their cells.

PARASOLS NOW
THE FASHION TOPIC
Materials and Handles in
Variety.

Correspondence Times-Recorder)
NEW YORK, May LIN the
good old summer time" which is now
rapidly approaching, milady of fash
ion will need a new stock of para
soils to protect her delicate complex
ion from the torrid rays of Old Sol.
The New York shop keeper has had
this idea in mind for some time, and
the result is one of the most elaborate
displays of sunshades that have ever
been shown in this witty. AS in the
past the woman who desires to be
lin style" will have a parasol to
match every dress.
The distinctively new feature in
parasols is the use of pongee, and
very handsome they are as well as
practical. In the natural colored
material they can be used with a
great number of costumes and it is
in the natural color that they are
most often seen. Border effects, too,
are singularly satisfactory in com
bination and there are both lined and
unlined sorts offered so that there is
ample opportunity for choice and a
great many things are provided for
in the one material
While silk parasols will be seen
both in the plain varieties and those
that are painted or printed in lovely
floral designs, there are those that
have Dresden designs upon them, and
lace insets that perfectly fit the sec
tions as though they were made
for them. Many of the new parasols
are of light colored silks with tucked
and bordered edges, which will be
used at the seaside and summer re-
sorts.
Among this host of sunshades were
a number of dark green's, some of
brown and ecru and even navy blue
with printed borders, and some that
looked as though they were cut
from very wide ribbon with fancy
borders. A favorite style seems to be
a group of three tucks with a bor
der above on the darker colored par
aso1s.
OF course, there is the lace and
chiffon parasols which is used for
very dressy functions and for car
riage use. In contrast with these
are those of cretonne and it is said
in Paris that they are quite the fad,
while a few have been shown on this
side of the water, but a whole para
sol of cretonne is not to many minds
an artistic effect
Handles are of many kinds. For
the plain coaching parasol, hand
some wood is preferred to every
thing else, but there are to be noticed
some extreme effects in the cary
ings, such as birds heads, swans
necks and the heads of animals; but
after all the simple, plain finished
knob handle is liked best by women
of good taste
