The distinction between the rights
| T parent and a stranger to induce
Awife to leave her husband is pointed
out by the Supreme Judicial Court of
Massachusetts in Mutter V. Knibbs, 70
Northeastern Reporter, 762. A stran-
ger may disprove any intent on his part
to cause separation in advising wife
to leave her husband, and show that
his advice was honestly given. But the
rights Of a parent are much greater.
He may give his daughter such, advice
and bring such motives of persuasion
to bear on her as he fairly and honestly
considers to be called for by her best
interests, and is not liable to the daugh-
ter's husband in damages for her de-
sertion resulting therefrom unless he
has been actuated by malice or i'll will
An ingenious marriage contract not
TO be performed until the death Of the
young lady's mother, presumably to
avoid any disagreeable interference by
the mother-in-faw with the connubial
bliss of the welded pair, is revealed in
the case Of Bailey v. Brown, SO Pacific
Reporter, 51S. Judge Mclaughlin, Of
the California Court Of Appeals, who
fled a concurrlng opinion in the case,
lntimates that a breach of such con-
tract did not constitute a cause of ac-
ton. He asked the question, How
| eOuld a contract TO marry exist when
the promiser might never be under an
obligation to marry the promisee, and
vice versaT' and continued: "If this
good mother should live to a very ripe
old age, as mothers sometimes do, no
human could tell what might happen.
Either of the parties might be waiting
for the other, harp in hand beyond this
vale of tears, or both might pine away
and die before this promise of future
connubial bliss could ripen into a cause
Of action enforceable in earthly courts"

A homemade stacker that Will 90
good service in handling hay IS SHOWN
in the illustration. There are no cast
ings to break and the timber required
In its construction can be readily pro-
cured The dimensions of the various
carts are:
The lower timbers which are marked
1 are about IL feet long and are mace
of 4 by 5-inch scantling. The side up
rights, marked 2, are about IA rect
long, and made Of the same material
as No 1, The slanting pieces, marked
8, are about 16 feet long, and MADE OF
4 by 4-inch scantling. The arms OF
the stacker marked A, are 16 feet long,
and made of 4 by inch stuff. The
cross piece, No. 5, is Is feet long, and
made of 8 by 5 inch stuff. No. is
of 2 by 5-inch stuff, and Is bevelled on
the front edge to allow the hay to slide
over it easily when being showed on by
the sweep. Timbers numbered Z, s. y
and 10, are made of 2 by 6-inch stun,
| anu are ~ 1GSl IOllsB CANSPk AVE- $500
No. 8, which should be only as long as
the stacker frame is wide. Each end
of Nos. 8 and 10 should project foot
N each end over No. 2.
Nos. II and u are made of 2 by 4
inch stuff, about 10 feet long; those
bolted to No. 10 about Is inches from
the higher end of No. 13.
No. 10 is made Of by 4-inch stuff,
about 8 feet long; the higher end
should be about feet above the
ground, so that when the stacker is on
the ground the weight box, No. ii,
should be about two inches from the
two pulleys on the upper end of No.
10; also when the stacker is upright,
as it is when the hay is thrown on the
stack, the weight box should be about
2 inches below the two pulleys on the
Camas Prairie chronicle. [volume] (Cottonwood, Idaho) 1901-1917, 1908-08-21

upper end Of No. 13; and when the
stacker is halfway down the weight
box, No. IA, should be just clear of the
ground.
No. IA is the weight-box, and should
be made of Pinch stuff, about s to 10
inches deep, and about 2 feet square !;
it must be well spiked together. The
idea of the weight is to start the
stacker back to the ground as soon as
the load is delivered from it on to the
stack, and when the stacker is halfway
to the ground, the weight acts as a
brake for the other half of the way
down. The box is filled with stones.
The rope which attaches the weight
box to the stacker should be three
quarter inch, passing from the weight
up between the two pulleys on the up
per end Of No. 10, and down to the
center of stacker head No. 5. The pull
legs on the frame of the stacker should
be attached by means of wooden blocks
with notch cut out so that the pulley
can fit between the block and frame.
Pulleys for this purpose are 9 inches
In diameter and made Of turned hard
wood. These are fastened in place by
means Of hard wood pin for an axle.
The pulleys should be kept well oiled
to keep them from calking.
The rope for raising the stacker
should be either inch or inch and a
quarter. The teeth on the stacker
can be made of 2 by 4-inch pine scant-
ling, 10 feet long and bevelled on the
upper side to allow the hay to slide
on easily. The short upright teeth on
the stacker head should be about !
feet long. They are bolted to the long
teeth about 2 inches from the stacker
head, No. ., and rest against the stack
er head, No. 6. The stacker arms, No.
4 should be bolted to No. 2 with large
bolt, about II inches from the ground

Vermont Colleges Enriched.

A gift of 800, 900 to Norwich universe
ty by one of her sons, an offer of s25, 900
to Middlebury college, conditional on the
raising OF $4,000 more, and the an
nouncement OF the university of Yer
mont that the centennial endow ment
fund has now reached $3.50, 900, indicate
that Vermont's institutions for the high
er education OF the young are not being
entirely forgotten even though they be
not loaded down with riches as Harvard
and the other colleges are. Nevertheless.
all OF them need every cent of the money
that is likely to fall to them, and more,
too. The problem of handling the in
creasing numbers Of students that are APP
plying to them :or the more complete
training in life is a difficult one; and it is
serious work fostering them even now.
So let no one think that the promised
additions to the working funds of the
three institutions preclude the necessity
for further assistance; there will always
be a call for money so long as higher ed
ucation shall maintain its present popu-
larity.-Barre Times.
