Hats and the Man.

Why must women bear most of the
burden for slavery to dress when man
certainly has no more freedom than
she? This could be illustrated in a
number of different ways, including
collars that choke and are too easily
soiied, but what ID really in our mind
is the observation-disclosures
stroying derby. 1t makes the head
look like a peanut. 1t is worn in the
spring long after the owner longs for
the straw hat, and in the autumn
when he wishes to continue with the
straw, and In the winter when he de-
sires a comfortable, pleasant, soft,
warm covering. Perhaps the cap Is
gaining a little In popularity, and also
the soft felt, but the progress Ia not
enough to be noticeable. For what
progress there is we can probably
thank the automobile. We certainly
cannot thank the intelligence of men.

KIND DEED is NEVER LOST
Though Perhaps Not Immediately, its
Good Results Are Certain to
Be Recorded.

Sometimes we become restless and
impatient because we do not imme-
diately see the result of our gen
crosby We seem to think that what
ever aid we are able to give should
work miracles before our eyes, and
we are not content to believe that
somewhere and somehow somebody's
burden has been lightened because OF
our faith and generosity.
Gooner or later, often when we least
expect 1t, our deeds of Kindness come
back to us a thousandfeid. They may
not be repaid in substantial coin, they
may not even bear the stamp OF our
generosity, but they pour their bless
ings into our lives with rich interest
and help us to understand the read
justment of our natures. 1t Is a fine
thing to be In position to give freely
and generously OF those riches which,
after all, are only ours during our
stewardship, but 1t Is just as crafty
ing and just as ennobling to give pro-
portionately of the more modest
means which some of us command
We are not judged by what we give
so much as by the manner I'm which
we give 1t, and happy, indeed, is he
who is not afraid to give generously
even of his small means. Our chart
ties may not sound around the world,
but they are heard by some poor SUIT
ferer close at hand and what greater
blessing and what richer recompenss
can we ask?

Arrangement for marking


pit wall should be one foot. The con-
crete foundation should extend about
one foot above ground on the outside
The illustration also shows how. the
upper corners Of the concrete wall are
beveled after the concrete has become
sufficiently stiff to permit this being
done. The 2 by 4 sill with large
spike for an anchor is also shown i'm
bedded in the top Of the wall The
concrete should be made from clean,
sharp sand and enough Portland ce-
ment to insure strong mixture. The
proportions will run about as follows:
One part cement, 2 IL parts sand, and
parts OF broken stone Enough wa
ter is added during the mixing, which
must be thoroughly done, to make q
mixture that is thin enough to settle
to the form with light tamping but not
so thin as to carry the cement out
through the cracks of the form by the
water leaking out. The foundation is
reinforced with a piece Of three-foot
woven wire fencing placed in the CEN
ter of the form before filing with the
concrete mixture.
After the wall has set sufh GENTLY to
stand alone, the forms may be re-
moved and the floor laid to depth of
four inches. 1t is advisable, but not
absolutely necessary, to pack about
four inches Of wet cinders in the bot
tom of the pit before laying the floor.
Before the wall and floor have hard
ened, finishing coat of sand and CO
ment mixed three-to-one should be put
on with a plasterer's trowel.

HOWTO BUILD
CONCRETE WALKS
Main Point In Construction, After
Good Material Secured, IL
Proper Drainage
System.
(By J. W. GRIFFIN.)

The main point in constructing a
concrete walk, after good material
has been secured is proper drain
age, without which no walk will give
entire satisfaction
Water should at no time stand and
freeze around the base Of the walk
Freezing and thaWing Of the earth
adjoining the walk will cause cracks
and checks, if there are not sufficient
absorbents to take away the moisture.
Under ordinary conditions where
the surface drainage is fairly good,
base of six inches of coarse gravel
or crushed stone is recommended
This should be tamped perfectly solid,
30 that there will be no settling or
giving down after the walk is COM
pleted
The base of gravel or crushed stone
should be two or three inches wider
on each side than the concrete. In
laying off a walk the top level of same
should be located and marked on
stakes driven at intervals of five OF
six feet.
The excavation should be made ten
inches deep from the level line, six
inches for the drainage, three and
one-haf for the grouting and one
half inch for the top coat. FL
Some prefer one inch for the top
coat, but have had better results
with 8one-half inch, as there is q more
even curing or drying out when the
top coat is not SO thick; then, the
grouting may be made somewhat
richer, and the top coat, if put on
while the grouting is yet soft, before
the initial set takes place, there will
be q bond secured that will never
break. Al
The cement should be soft, smooth
and work nicely, the sand should be
sharp, coarse and perfectly free from
clay or loan, the gravel or crushed
stone used in making the grouting
should be as free of soil and clay "a
