Plan for %t4enhouse.

ly fasten, then drive nails in board
at 4 and S, and draw another string
from 4 to 5. To prove that strings are
straight and at right angles, measure
from x to Y nine feet and insert pin
In Irvine. Then measu from x to 2
eight feet and insert pin in Irvine;
then hold 12-foot pole one end at Y,
the other end will just touch pin at q.
If it does not one of the lines must
be moved till it does. Next stretch
string from 6 to Z and s to 8; the dis
lance from x to L should be 100 feet
and x to N Is feet. Then square the
opposite corner marked x Y z prime
the same as the first. If the opposite
corners are at right angles you have
your lines perfectly straight. The
lines should be kept in place till foun-
dation is in; a plumb bob hung from
these lines will show just where to
build the wall. After stills are placed
use the same x Y 2 rule to square the
stills by. In regard to making straight
rows the only practical method, up to
a certain distance, is to use a line; it
is an impossibility to make rows an
equal distance apart and have them
straight if rows run across rises and

FOR THE CONTRIBUTION BOX
A Convenient Arrangement for Giving
Early and Often In Use in a
Greek Church.

A custom among attendants of the
Greek church at Trebizond explains
the use of certain tokens which have
been presented to the American Num-
ismatic society.
According to the Journal of the so
ciety sometimes several collections
are made during the service in these
churches. Even should there be but
one, the visitor may desire to make a
special contribution at the shrine or
picture of some of the saints whose
intercession he desires to secure or
he may wish to purchase a candle for
use in some of the ceremonials in
public or private devotions.
On entering the church, therefore,
he exchanges a certain sum of money
with the deacon at the gate for an
equivalent amount Of these tokens.
He is thus able to respond to the calls
for the various offerings during the
service or to deposit his gift at the
shrine of the saint by using one or
more of these tokens as he may. be
disposed, yet without any heavy de.
mand on his purse. These church
tokens are sometimes Of brass and
sometimes of paper.

LITTLE MONEY IN osrRIcHEs
Australian Ralsers Of Beautifully
Feathered Birds Get Small Re-
turns for Their Work.

The first attempt to raise ostriches
In Australia was made by q Mr.. NAL
com, who in 1880 brought 100 young
birds from South Africa to South Aus
tralia. In the following year the par
lament Of South Australia enacted .
law which granted to the first person
who should exhibit $50 ostriches more
than one year old about 2,400 acres Of
land suitable for ostrich farming.
The conditions were satisfied by the
South Australian Ostrich Company,
which was founded In 1886 with a cap
ital Of SIS, 900. The company received
land neal Port Augusta on Spencer
bay, but in spite Of this assistance
the company has paid a divi-
dend, although it now possesses 1,100
ostriches, all Of which were imported
from South Africa. There is a still
larger ostrich farm OF the shore Of
Lake Albert, and smaller farms are
scattered through the colony.
In New South Wales ostrich farm
ing was first attempted in 1897, by
Barraclun, who imported six pairs of
ostriches from northern Africa, and
now possesses 81 birds.
Queensland and Victoria possess
only small ostrich farms, which have
not produced very encouraging re-
suits. In all there are now about
1000 ostriches in Australia. The in.
ferior feathers are used at home and
the more valuable ones are exported.

new CONCEPTION OF DEATH
Malady That Finally Is Fatal General.
~ In the System for a Num-
Der Of Years.

Few, indeed, are the men and WON.
en- OF full age-say 25-who have moi
yet contracted the malady that will
Kill them, according to that distin-
guished scientist and physician, DR..
Felix Regnault. Normally, as contem-
porary investigators are beginning to
find out, it takes 20 years for a fatal
malady to kill a patient. It may take
30 years. The popular impression is
that a man may die suddenly or that
he may require only a year to die in
or six months. To be sure, a man
may be killed or a child may die in a
few months at the age OF one year
But ordinarily speaking, all deaths
are very slow, indeed, and about 95
per cent. of civilized adults are now
STRICKEN with a fatal disease. They
do not know 1t. They may not suffer
from 1t. In due time they will have
their cases diagnosed as cancer. or
as tuberculosis or diabetes or what
not. But SO inveterate are current
misconceptions of the nature Of death
that the origin of the fatal malady-
In time-will be miscalculated by from
ten to thirty years.
In the case of human beings, death
barring accidents nearly ALWAYS
caused by some specific malady. This
malady is as likely as not to be cured
what is called cured. The cure
however, no matter how skillful the
treatment or how slight the disease.
has left a weakness behind in some
particular organ Of the body. One Of
the organs is, II not prematurely
worn out, at least SO worn that it's re.
sisting powers are greatly diminished.
All Of US in this way when we have
reached a certain age possess al or.
gan that is much older than the rest
of the physique. One day we shall die
because of this organ. Even If we live
to be very old, indeed, we shall not die
OF old age, but Of weakness of the
lungs, or of the kidneys or Of the liver
or OF the brain.-Current Literature.

HONEY BEES ARE PROFITABLE.
Establish a Good, Honest Reputation
for Yourself and Your Product
Will Sell Itself.

Honey does not injure the teeth as
candy does. It is an excellent remedy
for most of the lung and throat affec-
tons and is a good substitute for cod
liver oil. Honey is a laxative and sed-
alive and is especially valuable in
cases of bladder and kidney diseases.
Thousands Of bees pour in and out
of the hives many times a day; thou.
sands more swarm over the combs.
each untrammeled by rules and with
nc set task. No bee works for itself:
the multitude works as though it were
one bee.
If you desire to advertise your honey
and work up a trade, place you name
and address on every package. Labels
are all right for glass jars, but for
comb honey either have a printed a r
ton or stamp your name on the Sec
ton with a rubber stamp. If you are
capable of producing a fancy article
you deserve the credit for it and all of
the trade there is to be had. There is
nothing like establishing a good, hon.
est reputation for yourself. Do this
and your honey will sell itself.
One day while working in the apiary
a gentleman watched me. He was
anxious to know how I managed to get
the honey from the hives. He asked,
WAS it at night when all the bees are
asleep" That, Of course, would be
the very worst time Of all, for bees
know nothing about sleep, but work "a
hours a day. There is plenty of work
for them to do in the hive at night,
such as e%vaporating the honey, build
Ing comb, etc.
1t is the custom Of bee keepers gen
orally to select warm and clear days
in which to perform the operation of
the hive. The older bees that consti-
tute the field force are out then in
quest of nectar and pollen and the
manipulations are more easily per.
tormed.-Exchange.

You Have Once Seen it

To lay out a plan for a henhouse is
a very simple matter after you once
see it done, says a writer in the Ru-
raj New Yorker. Set posts. (marked
n on plan), three at each corner, back
about six feet from proposed site of
building, and nail a board to each
post about four feet above the ground.
Drive the nails in board at 2 and 3;
draw strong string across and secure.
