and there was Henry waiting her. He
assisted her into an expensive tour
Ing car, at the wheel of which sat n
liveried driver. and away they went
winding through the city streets and
at last bowling along the pleasant
country roads. At first Mary was all
animation and filled with delight in
her adventure; but as the city was
left behind she began to grow thought
full, and ut last said: "Henry-do you
suppose we are doing right?"
"Why not?" answered Henry. ut

"Yes," admitted Mary, 81 know 1t

me home"
But, in spite of her commands, In
spite of her pleadings and In spite of
her tears, Henry sternly insisted upon
going on with the elopement. When
they finally reached the inn at Mel
chester Mary was very red-eyed from
weeping and very rebelllous and unro-
mantle as to temperament. She had
not spoken to Henry for the last five
miles. and when she had addressed
him II had been to state emphatically
that, as soon Is they reached Melches-
ter, she would telephone her father
that she had been abducted by a vii
lain. But as she assembled the steps
of the hotel piazza she stopped in
amazement. In comfortable rocking
chairs on the veranda sat Mr.. and
Mrs. Isle, Mr.. and Mrs. Wardman.

mate girl friend, Florence Boyd, and

DID MOT FAVOR RIGHT HAND
Scientific Proof That In the Stone Age
AmbldexterIty Was Common
Among Mankind.

The scientist Sarafin examined some
time ago a number Of implements
from the oldest and the most recent
periods Of the Stone age, among others
more particularly the so-called Nous
tlerian scrapers, s~harp-edged flint in
struments, which were used by the Ere
historic Inhabitants Of the region Of
Moustier, France.
These scrapers still show plainly
the marks of usage. AS It can be
clearly distinguished which portions of
the edges Of the irregularly-shaped In
struments are most worn, II may be
ascertained with which hand prehis-
toric man was in the habit OF work
ing mainly. The investigations, which
took various prehistoric implements
into account, revealed the fact that
men Of the older and also of the more
recent Stone age worked with both
hands almost indlscriminately.
At the beginning of the age Of
bronze, however. a very sudden de-
parture from the ancient habit Is no.
tlceable. for now almost all work is
done with the right hand, as is shown
by the fact that the implements show,
from now on. the effects Of wear in
such places as indicate usage with the
right hand. II is hard to say what
may have been the cause for this sud
den change from the uniform use of
the two hands. Sarafin assumes that
religious motives which possibly
ascrlbed n baser significance to the
left hand restricted Its nse, just as
today popular superstition regards the
left hand ms e%mblematic Of evil, while
the right hand is spoken OF as indlca-
tive of all that is good.-Journal OF
the American Medical Association.

ADDING TO VALUE OF LAMBS
Docking and Castratlon Should Be
Done In Morning-Many Males
Should Be Marketed.

Lambs should be locked and cas-
trated In the morning If possible so
that they can be looked after during
the day time. In case OF excessive
bleeding as a result OF docking, the
tail should be tied with a cord. 1t is
best to dock first and ca~strate a few
days later. but II the flock is a large
one and a second handling is not desir-
able both operations may be done at
one time.
Too great emphasis cannot be placed
upon these two acts of proper flock
management from the standpoint OF
success in raising the lambs and the
higher market value. Many males are
used for breeders when they should be
wethers fattened for market.
The proper place TO dock Is about
The third vertebrae or about one inch
from the body. The skin should be
forced forward so that it may later
fall back and cover the stump. For
docking n sharp knife will serve well.
Many use n hot pincher or chlsel for
this operation, but the heating of iron
consumes time and the hot Iron is used
only in cases when lambs cannot be
watched afterward, as In range hocks.

time at least, cut a thick strip
OF felt long enough to be wrapped

times. The felt should be OF sufil-

the bar and the housing when wrapped

In Fig. 2. Wire the band SO as to
hold 1t In place correctly. With a
pencil or soapstone stick and using the
holes in the band for a template, mark
the lining. A harness leather punch
Is used in making the holes.
Secure the lining to the band in Its
proper position with the aid Of a few
small bolts and nuts. Next counter
sink the holes so the rivet heads viii
be below the surface of the lining.
A countersinking tool made for this
purpose produces the most satisfac
tory results, but IL one is not avail
able one can get good results from
a wood screw countersinking tool and
a brace. If the latter Is Used 1t should
be sharp or the lining will tear.

If you do not possess a wise, place
the band on the bench in such a way
as to prevent 1t from slipping away.
and with the counterslnk bit counter
sink each hole. Do not go too deep
on this operation. only enough to al
low the rivet heads to be we'll below
the lining surface.
Unless there are two people, one
holding the band and rivet bar while
the other Is using the hammer, 1t is
almost Impossible to get along with

a rivet through the lining and the

with a rivet set. or a short piece of
gas pipe. A few blows will be enough
to draw the rivet head and the lining
tight and in place. Avoid too much
pounding, as 1t will tend to draw the
rivet deeper in the material and pos
sibly weaken to the point of breaking
through.
1t may be found that rivets are too
long or too short; not more than
three-sixteenths of an inch should
protrude through the band. In rivet-
ing these ends use quick, light blows

While the task Of refining brakes
is n primarily for an experienced re-

formed by those who enjoy doing their
w work If they will but devote the
time required to do 1t efficiently. the
method to be followed being explained
herewith:
First, purchase the new lining in
one piece, cutting the necessary
lengths after the wheels and brakes
have been removed.
The correct length of material is
obtained by laying a tape measure
around the outside of the external
brake band, making an allowance of
about one-half inch overlapping at the
edges Of the band opening. This
gives the proper length for one exter-

head in the lining too tight. This
operation is performed with the brake
in the same position as when using
the rivet set. Do not remove the
bolts hat were used as temporary
holdings until the holes not occupied
by bolts have been filled with rivets.
This completes the foot brake. and
the same methods are used In refining
the internal or hand brake.
For Internal Brakes
With the exception of the marking

the self feeder is used with the above
feeds. If alfalfa is good, and the
shotes pastured at the rate of about
20 head per acre. a pound of gain can
be put on with approximately three
and one-half pounds of shelled corn
and four-tenths of a pound Of tank
age.
AT this rate, with corn at $1.20 per

per hundredweight, a 150-pound gain

Of $40. With $40 hogs, this leaves

With only 20 head per acre, a fair

To Prevent Slipping.
To guard against any accidental
slipping after the rear wheels have
been lacked up, place the axle on good
strong horses. II the latter are not
available, block the front wheels Sc
curely to prevent the car from roll
Ing ahead or back off the jacks. Be
sure that you are thoroughly familiar
with the method to be followed in re-
moving the wheels from your par
ticular make of car. If necessary, or
mt least doubtful, consult your book
of Instructions. Follow the instruc-
tions infinitely.
A large clevis pin, on the back of
which is first a washer and then n
cotter pin, holds the toggle connec-
lions Of the brakes in place. The
toggles should be disconnected with
the brake shoes and the adjustment
screw removed from the guide that
acts upon the anchor bar. With the
removal of the coil springs that are
attached to the band the brake will be
ready to be taken OF.
Here a word of warning may be
necessary. Before removing. carefully
note which is the top and which is
the bottom OF the assembly. and see
just how the spring is inserted be-
tween the guide and the anchor bar
the exercise OF care at this point will
prevent trouble when the brake is
ready to be replaced. All crease
around the dust guard and axle stub
should be removed and the parts
thoroughly cleaned with gasoline.
