of the principal building, frame tav-

on the horse rack. There was no
other sign of human occupancy.
| How do you do, sir?" said the
Judge, hating before this solitary in

the Judge, cooking his head on one

Unique Party for Children.

A mother of three lovely children confided to me that her great success in entertaining children was due to her aim to have each little guest equally interested.
 With this idea in mind she is going to give this novel and really fascinat- ing party. She calls it "Tradesmans
 Carnival" The very name has excited the curiosity of tho children as we'll
 as their mothers. The hours are from
 800 to 5:30 on Saturday afternoon.
 The ages of the guests are from eight to twelve, and there will be IS if
 all accept, her three making IS, about all she can seat comfortably at small tables in the dining room.
 The tradesmen she is to have rep resented are tailor, dressmaker, pot ter, jeweler, flower maker, sign paint. | er artist, basket maker, upholsterer and carpenter. Two or perhaps three will work at the same trade When
 the guests arrive they will be given cards with the name of the trade they are to represent. Then the little craftsmen go to a table, where their materials are prepared ready for them and one or two assistants to show where they are to work. One hour is 1 to be the time allotted to make the l finished products, then a bell will | ring and the articles collected and placed on exhibition. The children are to be allowed to vote as to the | first. second and third best piece and the prizes will be awarded Each child Is also to take home the object

RUSSIA GAINS
 IN FARMING
Prevailing Impression That Little Progress Is M Made in That Country Is sErroneous-Serie
 of Req dings Gratis.
(By J. B. sNoDGRAss.) )

The impression generally prevails that, although Russia is most gen erously favored by nature, little prog ress is being made in agriculture. This Is erroneous.
 As an illustration of the interest that is being manifested along these lines, and as indicative of the pro- gressive policy that has been adopted and is now being pursued, it may be cited that the Imperial Agricultural museum, in it's endeavor to popular ize the study of agricultural subjects, has for the last few years conducted gratis, at the museum in St. Peters burg, series of systematic readings on agriculture for the benfit of every inc interested. In addition to this course, popular lectures are delivered and special readings conducted for men in the lower ranks of the army.
 In the experimental department of the museum the taking apart and putting together of various machinery is demonstrated by trained mechanics. Agricultural machinery in motion is also demonstrated and the use of az ricultural implements is explained; ;; experiments are also made with all classes of farm machinery, such as locomobiles, winnowers, sorters, and the like. In separate departments are demonstrated the fertilization of the fish spawn and the development of the chicken in the incubator.
 The attendance at these lectures has been uninterruptedly increasing from year to year. For the past four years the attendance has been: 5093, 17,808, 32,442, 60,S46; showing great increase.
 The lectures are delivered in the evening from seven to nine and on Sun day from two to three D. m, The prac- tical work and excursions are conduct ed by prearrangements between the lecturers and the students, such as

SELF-FEEDERS SAVE HAY
 AND CONSIDERABLE LABOR
According Tests Made Colorado Experiment Station Fully 20 Per Cent. Feed Is Wasted by
 Old Method of Feeding.

Selffeeder racks for supplying roughage to sheep or cattle are not only the means of saving considerable labor, but, according to tests made at the Colorado experiment. station, are the means of saving a great deal of hay. One lot of lambs at this station were fed whole hay in a self-feeder rack and another lot whole hay in racks on the ground, such as are in common use in many sections of the country. The average gain of these two lots was practically the same, the lot feeding from the self-feeder averaging only one pound heavier than the others, says the American Agriculturist. Also, the grain con sumed varied but little, being only nine pounds more for 100-pound gain in the first lot than in the sec ond. The great saving came in the cost of roughage.
 The lot eating from the self-feeder consumed 601 pounds of hay for each

trips to exhibitions and farm in the suburbs, and even to stockyards and slaughter houses.
 Likewise the special classes pass through practically everything per taining to plant culture, stock raising, poultry raising, bee culture and dairy farming, with all that pertains to the latter. such as butter and cheese ma king.
 In the present scholastic season the courses of the systematic lectures will embrace the following academic sub- jects: Elementary chemistry, clement ary anatomy, physiology of plants, improvement and cultivation of the soil, agricultural meterorology, agri- cultural economy, seeds, agricultural implements, cattle raising, swine rais- ing, etc.
 On Sundays it is intended to con- duct popular public readings and lec- lures on a variety of agricultural sub jects.

tically 20 per cent. in favor of the self-feeder racks. It makes a differ ence of 42 cents in the cost securing each 100 pounds of grain. These re- suits were secured on alfalfa valued at $5 per ton. With higher price the difference would be corresponding ly greater.
 These self-feeding racks cost $1 per running foot completed. They had the ordinary capacity of four lambs per running foot, two on each side, not so much space being required at self feeder as at an ordinary rack, since all the lambs will not eat at one time. As already stated, the saving in this one experiment. amounted to 42 cents per 1v0 pounds Of gain. This is equal to about IA cents on each lamb. Count ing four lambs per running foot, this would make a saving on one seasons s operations of 56 cents. In other words, the rack would pay for itself in two years.

For Marking Linen.

When ready to mark table linen sheets, pillow cases and towels in any quantity it is best to have the letters specially designed in tho proper sizes so one may do the stamping at home. The size most in use for tablecloths are letters three inches long in an in terlaced script. If old English letters are used one large letter is preferable to two or three. For napkins the let ters should match the cloth only about two inches in length Sheets have the same size letters as a table cloth and pillow cases the same as napkins.
 Before deciding upon the marking it is well to look over designs. There are linen cases for holding just a

Usually the city was sacked when it could not be burned and many of it's people carried into slavery. Battering rams have been hurled against the Coliseum, against the 25-foot wall of the Pan- theon, against all the public buildings reared under the Caesars, but unavail- ingly.

 Taxes were light in Rome before unif1cation. Since then they are heavy. When Victor Emmanuel was crowned Rome expected to become capital of 100000 in 25 years. She did start a good deal of building and in other ways improved the city. But it pre- cipitated financial panic, banks fail ed and there was hard time all around. So, instead of million folks in quarter of a century, the number is 600.000 after 40 years.
