may be of any shape, but it should be
provided with cleats fixed to the sides,
upon which the hanging bars rest.
A pulley is fitted inside to the top of
the building, and a hosting rope is
passed W 1t. The hanging bar is
fastened to the rope by two spreading
ties, so that it will not easily tip when
loaded. The hams and meat are hung
upon the hooks fixed in the bar, and
the whole is hoisted to the cleats,
when the bar is swung around so that
the ends rest upon the cleats. The
rope is then released from the bar by
means of q small rod, and another bar
may be loaded and raised in the same
way.

Pointa ln Gardenina.

There is little danger Of making the
soil too rich for a vegetable garden.
The use of hand tools is unnecessary
in the preparation of a seed bed If the
soil is worked at the proper time.
The labor Of hand wedding may be
reduced to a minimum by planting in
freshly worked soil only. tilling close
to the rows early in the season and
permitting no weeds to ripen their
seed.
The usesof a wheel hoe saves labor
In the care Of a garden even when
much OF the tillage is to be done with

Tho "Lstters Of Junius."

The vexed question Of the real au-
thorship of the Letters of Junius" has
never been positively settled. Mr.. Cha
bots learned work to show that Sir
Philip Francis was the author of the
famous letters, while a strong produc-
ton, fails Of absolute proof. The at
tempt was made to prove that Thomas
Paine wrote the letters, but that, too,
failed to convince. The question is
still a mystery, though the balance of
the evidence is in favor Of Sir Philip
Francis.

Tops Of Eenceposts

The tops of fenceposts should be cut
slanting, preferably with an ak. so
that rainwater will. not remain on
them. When they are cut with a saw
the pitch should be greater, especially
in posts in which there is a marked
difference in hardness between the
spring wood and the summer wood.

By Walter Anthony

the curtain goes down on the prologue
as he announces he will tell them
first OF Olympia. This story and two
others are then enacted.
All are from Honmanns tales as they
were transcribed from the French Poe's
works by Barber and Care and used
by them in their drama OF the same
name. which they later made over for
Offenbach's purposes The tremendous
difficulties encountered IN the score
arise from the fact that each OF three
acts is devoted to telling dinerent
story In which each OF the principals
except Hoffman,. must assume an en-
tirely different character. Ihe soprano
in the first story is an automaton. IKE
the second act she is a great singer
and must sing to prove IL, too In the
third story she is a consumptive and
