house. Considerable glass cutting
will have to be done there.
This whole open frame should now
receive several coats of good white
lead paint, and allowed to dry thor
oughly between paintings. 16x20 inch
glass is a good size to use. Lap a
third of an inch. Use the patent glass
fastener, one at each lower corner,
only two to each light. Putty each
tier as you go along, as you can never
get at it so handy again. Much of
the glass will be sprung little.
Make practice of laying this sprung
side down; for if you get one up and
then one down, you will find big
place for the wind to get through
every little ways.
Put in the heating apparatus before
building the plant benches. For a
house of this size very primitive heat
ing apparatus may be used. 1t may
be of brick, and should be a little
over four feet long so as to take four
foot wood easily, with arch top, and
iron front door about 16 inches square.
The furnace should be two feet wide
and about the same for hight A long
boiler iron heater, laid fiat will do if
at hand. The old fashioned long,
school house heater is good. Even a
section of small SIN oke stack, provided
with end and door is all right. The
brick is best, however, as it holds
heat longer and maintains a more
even temperature. This heater must
be located below the ground level, so
that the two pipes running from it's
rear end, and branching off under the
side benches near the outer walls,
may have a slight gradual raise from
the ground level where they leave the
heater, down the length of the house,
and into the chimney. The pipes
will make a square turn at the further
corners, and enter this chimney which
stands at the center of the futher end

CONSTRUCTION OF GREEN HOUSES.


regarding the construction of green
houses and we herewith present a
comprehensive plan furnished us by
one of our subscribers, Mr.. w. G..
Boynton:
The greenhouse should never be
less than 16 feet wide for reasons that
will appear further on. 1t may be
any length desired provided the heat
ing arrangements are made adequate
to this length; 16x30 feet makes a
very fair sized house. A cement or
stone foundation should be set below
frost line; 2x6 laid in soft cement on
top of this wall will serve as stills,
which should be only a foot or SO
above the ground level. After this
wall is thoroughly dry and hardened
and the stills thus solidly set into
position, three foot posts are toe-nail-
ed along the outer edge of the sill,
cutting the tops of these posts to a
bevel that will properly receive a
sloping water table plate upon which
the side sash are to rest 2x4 will do
for these posts. Double board both
outside and inside, with heavy build
ing paper between. The outer board
ing should be of shiplap or siding
that will receive paint nicely. The
water table on top of these posts
should be of the same material as is
used for window stills in house, and
should project over the outer edge
in about the same manner as the win.
dow sill. The side sash, reinforced
by short posts to the upper final plate,
are set on this first water table. The
hight of these posts and sash will OF
course be governed by the size OF
glass you are to use. For the upper
water table on top of these sash and
posts, use the same material as for
the lower table before described, and
set on same bevel or slant, with same
projection.
You are now ready for the rafters,
or sash bars as they are called. These
can be gotten at almost any mill, and
are all plowed at the upper corners
to receive the glass. Size finished
about IL x3 in., surfaced on all four
sides. These rafters should be set
on a third to a half pitch Cut lower
end to fit plate exactly, with outer
point just over outer edge of side
sash already placed. They must be
spaced very exactly to receive the
glass, allowing an eight of an inch fol-
play on account of uneven sized glass.
Unless you do this you will some
times have to cut out a shaving on
the sides in order to get your glass in.
When exactly spaced nail nicely
dressed ribbon of 1x3 along the under
side of your rafters about half way
up. Then put collar beams across of
this same light material, every third
rafter. The upper ends of the rafters
will be received by a surfaced 2x6,
its edge projecting two inches above
the upper edges of the rafters, upon
which to hinge the ventilators. These
may be made of this same sash stuff,
and should be about 36 inches square.
Cut out the upper end of one of the
rafters where a ventilator is to come,
and put in a header, as over the top
of an ordinary door or window. The

Dangers of Crowds.

When a man is standing still his
weight acts vertically downward, but
on moving he exerts a side thrust
greater than his weight. Consequently
crowd moving rapidly on structure
like pier exerts a. tremendous side
wise pressure which tends to throw
the pier over. II man stands on
plank bridge 1t bends slightly, but If
he walks across 1t sways violently up
and down. A regiment Of soldiers
marching in step across a trestle or
other light bridge would cause such
tremendous swaying motion that 1t
would give way, and so soldiers al
ways "break step" in crossing such a
bridge.
On a certain swing footbrldge across
a glen in the north of Scotland is a
notice forblddlng Newfoundland dogs
to be taken across. These dogs trot
In such perfect rhythm as to cause a
dangerous sway in small bridge.
A man rising to standing from a
sitting posture exerts on the ground a
force equal to twice his weight. Thus
when crowd suddenly springs to Its
feet at football match or theater the
strain on the supporting stands is
enormous and has to be allowed for by
the engineers. -Pearson's Weekly.

Cards For Juliet.

A charming custom among tourists
Mt Verona is that Of leaving their Wis
lting cards at the reputed tomb Of
Juliet This act, however, must be
taken as a pretty compliment to the
immortal love story rather than as an
offering in memoriam, for 1t is unlike
ly that travellers have not learned that
the tomb is in reality one Of those
plous fctions so dear to the senti-
mental and that even Shakespeare's
tragedy itself Is generally held to have
no historical basis. A writer in the
Graphic of London says, "The so call
ed tomb, Of red Veronese marble, in
the gardens Of the Orphanage, was for
merly washing trough" Another
writer Is no less severe There is
plenty to see In Verona" he says, "the
cities of northern Italy, without vast
Ing time, money and emotion in look
Ing at frauds" But the custom re-
mains and will remain as long as there
are tourists.

NeaIect of the Scalp,

Inheritance has something to do with
badness. Men In family usually
have disposition to get bald at about
the same age. Certain scalp diseases
cause badness. but the largest factor
in badness is neglect The scalp Is
exceedingly dirty in the average run
Of men and boys. If any other six
inches of skin were kept as dirty as
the scalp 1t would be considered a dis
grace. There is no reason why boys
should not be taught to wash the hair
with soap and water every day, then
dry and brush 1t well. AS soon as the
boy gets old enough to wash his ears
and to keep his face clean down to
the collar line he should also keep his
scalp clean. If the hair after wash
ing is too dry little grease can be
used Following this plan there should
be no premature badness. Generally
