BIunders by Novelists.

prone to make blunders. Sir Walter
Besant In For Faith and Freedom
wrote after the Eykins had settled IN
Providence. "Barnaby soon grew tired
of this quiet life and went on board u
steamer bound for England, promisine
that we should neal from him" This
was In 1886 or 1881, and the frs,
steamer from America TO this country
did not reach Liverpool till July. 1872
Wtlkie Collins also made numerous
amazing blunders. In ''Ehe Duel In
Herne Wood he makes the story open
with the receipt of a telegram. and the
period is 1917. when twenty years had
to elapse before the first telegraphic
wire was laid. Three OF the characters
also talk OF taking the express train
to London" In defiance OF the fact thar

In the last year or two some OF our

investigating several molds which
seem to affect not only cattle, bat

abundantly upon cornstslks, alfalfa

a great number Of animals has been

Boil Ropes STRAIGHT.

The best way TO soften hay carrier
ropes is to boil them in wood ashes.
This is a formula forty years old that
has never been known to fail. Put
one-fourth to one-half bushel In enough
water to cover rope, say six to ten
pailfuls, according TO the size OF your
kettle. Boil 1t until you are sure that
1t is thoroughly wet through, hang it
up to dry and leave 1t alone until per-
fectly dry. Then you will have a rope
as soft and pliable as a tow string
and n that will give double the serv-
ice In wear as one untreated. 1t Will

old English spaniel with some leather
dispatch bags lying on the ground by

The picture was duly exhibited and
admired, the spaniel especially. but
the dealer who bought It.. being a sim
pie man of business. bethought him
that Sir Edwin's dog would be worth
more than the whole picture. So he
coolly cut 1t out and sold II, filling the
place by a common dog copied from 1t.
Several years afterward the owner OF
the picture showed Sir Edwin, with
some pride, the picture in which he
had painted the dog. but the great mas.
