How to Patch a Canoe.

There are several different "home.
made" methods by which to repair q
crack or leak in canoe. Perhaps the
most permanent is varnish or shellac
and silk. Put little varnish over the
crack, place small silk patch over the
'arnish, letting 1t dry. then varnish or
shellac over the silk. Two coats will
be sufficient. If 1t is vanished ca
noe. use white silk, and the patch can
hardly be detected, the silk being
transparent. This may be put on both
inside and outside II necessary. White
lead and varnish mixed well and put
In the crack is also good permanent
repair. IL on a cruise In the woods
and without the necessary articles to
make permanent repair, get little
spruce gum Off the trees, heat and add
little grease and put over the crack.
The grease has tendency to keep the
gum from getting very hard, and it
will not break so easily. The silk and
shellac repair is the usual remedy for
puncture in canvas covered canoe.

THE OLD MUST CD.

stantly breaking up old-time system.
which have been handed down from
father TO son for many generations
The progressive man pays very little
attention to what was done in tn.
past. He knows that the world Ia
new every day, that 1t requires new
treatment. He does not care how
many people have done the work be-
fore, or in what way they have done
IL, or how many superstitions en-
girdle the thing he Is working upon,
he does his work in his own way.
The present state OF the worlds pro-
gress is the result of the constant
breaking away from the past, the
elimination of worn out machinery, of
cast-off ideas, foolish superstition
prejudice and worn out methods.
England not long since sold 81 mod
ern warships. which cost $4,000, 900,
for less than per cent Of what t
cost to build them. These ships had
not been in commission a great
many years, but such has been the
progress in shipbuilding that they are
already out of date.
Some OF the most up-to-date ma
chlnery today will. within five years,

Ing to recent investigation by the
Department OF Agriculture, seventy
hve per cent. OF our farmers have
been planting potatoes and other crops
according to the almanac. II is a
very general belief that potatoes
planted In the dark OF the moon pro-
duce the best crop, while the full moon
variety are likely to run to tops"
II seems abit obsurd to suppose
that a. respectable old moon like ours
could find nothing better to do than
to stay up nights running the pota-
to crop. So Uncle Sam. who has an
unquenchable curiosity in such mat
ters, began pokiny into the moon
myth and discovered that it deserved
respect only because OF It's age.
