Homemade Garden Roller.

Take sound piece of hardwood log,
Is to IS inches long and a foot or more
in diameter. Make it round and smooth
Insert iron pins or bolts at each end.
Take two pieces Of wagon tire, make
a hole in one end of each to slip over
che pin or belt, and bend the pieces
at the other end SO as to fasten to a
handle, made like spade handle, with
a piece of wood put through the upper
end to hold it by. Care should be
taken that the log can roll easily in
side the iron pieces. This will level
the ground and crush the clods in
the garden bed.

After mother had laid steak on a

fascinated brown eyes peered forth at
the volcanic action on the stove. Find

Human Life Figures.

"The value of human life isn't sup

don't generally know that in every big
building erected in New York the
price of human life is consideration
figured in the estimate. In a building
Of SO many stories and of a certain
sort of construction the contractors
figure that few workmen will be
killed, and there will have to be a
settlement with the families. Maybe
no architects or contractors would adj
NIT that this is true, but it's fact
nevertheless"
