MADELINE

% IBLE history is responsible for
-. origin of Madeline. The only pos
sible source of the name is the New
Testament story of the tragic figure
Mary Magdalen. Magdalen, it seems,
is not a surname, but merely trans
lates into 'of Magdala," the village of
the scarlet woman's birth, and is re-
garded as an adjective Of place.
So the soft harmony of "Magdalen''
was not employed as Il proper name at
that time, but history records that
various institutions, or rescue homes
for unfortunate girls, sprang up under
the name, until it began to be used as
synonymous for fallen women. Writers,
artists, and poets, who find fascination
in portraying the type of Mary Mag
dalen, with her luxury, her embroid-
cred robes and flowing hair, and her
inevitable tears as repentant sinner,
kept the two names in vogue. But
--hnasg esper 'SsasryfeeSvas .dropped com
pletely ariu-e.r cHURellen persisted
and waxed popular.
LdCH udtlOH Has ldhSu Tie udiic
Magdalen and placed upon it the
stamp of individual spelling. England
calls her Madalene, eliminating the
''g' for the soft sound; Madeline,
Maudlene, and Maun are other Eng
fish derivations. France prefers Made
leine; Spain and Russia, Madeline.
The French also claim the derivations
Magdalene, Maiden, Lene, and Len
chen. Maddalena is the Italian ver-
sion and Leli is Swiss.
Despite the story of Madeline's orr
gin. the poets have chosen her name
rather to portray the shyest and most
virtuous of maidens, the typical sweet
heart to whom young lovers write
odes. The best known poem to Ever
Varying Madeline" runs:
Smiling, frowning. evermore,
Thou art perfect in love-lore.
RevealngS deep and clear are thine.
OF wealthy smiles; but who may know,
Whether smile or frown be sweeter,
Who may know?
Madeline's jewel is the moonstone.
that gem so potent for lovers who may
read their future in its opalescent
depths. If she wears her talismanic
stone, Madeline may have her hearts
promises. The poppy is her flower, 8
is her mystic number and Saturday
her lucky day.

JAIL DELIVERIES.

The recent Jail deliveries, one
following the other within so
short period, are shocking and
deplorable as well as regretable.
How the first delivery was ac-
complished is a mystery which
is not likely to be cleared up I'M
til some of the escaped prisoners
are captured and open up and
tell the facts. Ho yever, it
taught the lesson that strong
precautions must be taken to
prevent another. This precau-
ton the County Fathers took
through dismissal of the then
jailor and appointing a man who
was willing and did stay in the
Jail at night.
The second Jail delivery was
due to disobedience of orders of
the Sheriff. We are advised that
the iailor was instructed by the
Sheriff not to open any cell doors
at night and this order was, we
learn, violated, as a result of
which the iailor was attacked,
overpowered and locked in a
cell, after which, the other two
prisoners were released. For
tunately, the leader in the escape
was caught and has been safely
landed in the House of Correc-
tion, to which institution he was
sentenced by Judge Camalier at
the recent term of Court.
Jail deliveries are not new, it
seems, in this State, prisoners
having recently escaped from the
peniteltiary. The County Fa-
theirs took what in their judg-
ment was abundant precaution,
after the first Jail delivery, but
even this it seems failed, through
and only through disobedience
on the part Of the jailor. 1t ap-
pears that the only real safe
guard left against escaping pris
oners is the use of a ball and
chain attached to their limbs.

Agricultural Notes.

We must have corn. We ought to
grow the best possible. How can we
do it.? Very much depends upon the
weather. But there two things we can
do that the weather cannot help US in.
We can plant good seed. How can we
know that we are planting good seed 7
Test every ear of corn we plant. can
hear some one say that is too much
bother Well l am not writing for
Kim. How can we test each ear One
of the easiest ways is TO lay an old
guano sack down on the floor as
smooth as possible and then newspa-
per on top of that Wet the paper so
that the corn will stay where you put
it. Take each ear SOU have selected
for seed and take at least three grains
from each ear, one at each end, and one
from the middle; place the corn on the
paper so that you will know where you
begin toiput them down. Take piece
OF paper and write the number on the
paper and with nail or little stick
fasten the number TO the ear of corn to
correspond to the position of your
corn you have placed on the sack.
Count about 20 ears for each acre.
When you have filled your sack roll it
carefully and tie string around it to
hold the grains Of corn iniplace. Wet
the sack thoroughly and put it where
the mice and rats cannot get hold of it
for three or four days ana then look at
it. If the place is warm where you
have kept il you will see the sprouts
If any grains do not show several Wig
orous roots, then discard those ears
the grains represent.
If any one wants me to hold dem
onstration at his or her farm TO show
how this is done postal card will get
me there. You must send me the
names of your neighbors for they will
want to know as we'll as you.
The next thing for you to do is to
get your soil in good conGition before
you plant corn. The Lest working
your corn will ever get is before you
ever plant il.

ter. As the coils are to be one inch
wide, the tubing should be cut in sec
tons OF that width.
Have block turned to fit this
tubing nicely. II 1t is not possible to
have it turned, 1t may be whitfield.
Place one of your tubes on this and
mark two lines at the edge of the
tubing. These lines are then marked
off evenly with compass into 25
spaces. then small brads should be
lightly driven on these lines on the
spaces.
Before the tube is placed on the
block, however. the contact strips
should be placed on the tube. These
are merely strips Of thin brass or cop
per about one-fourth inch wide. 1t
should be clinched on tightly, as shown
In the drawing. When you are ready
to wind, solder the end of your wire
to one of these contacts, so that 1t will
be covered with the winding, also
solder another short piece to the other

of diamond-shaped holes should be cut
along the center of the strip. The
strip Is then glued on and wrapped
with twine until the glue has set. The
winding will project slightly over the
edge of the tubing, so the cover strip
should be made slightly wider than
the tube. After the cover Is glued
on and set, remove the twine and
smooth the joint in the cover with
sandpaper. The coil should then be
dipped in white shellac of the best
grade, or better still, celluloid varnish.

Soluble cotton ................2 ounces
Add chemicals in order given, solu-
BILE cotton being last. Allow to stand
IL hours and strain through cheese

After the coil has been dipped and
is dry, the varnish should be scraped
from the contacts and they should al
ways be kept clean and bright 1t is
good idea to mark each coll with

ing.
The Coll Mounting.
The mounting for these coils, some
times called the mechanical coupler.
is quite simple, as will be seen from
the drawing One coll is mounted sta
tionary while the other Is movable
for the coupling. The round blocks
should be turned same size as the
block used in winding. The con-
facts are thin spring brass. A slot
is cut in the side Of the block and the
contact fastened with q small screw
and bent back over the screw after the
lead wire has been soldered. 1t should
be quite sDringy and project slightly
from the block, which will insure good
contact when the coil Is slipped In
place. BY making the contacts an
inch or more long, they will always be
in contact with the coil, even If 1t be
turned one way or the other In plac-
ing 1t on the block.
The dimensions of the arms need
not be exactly as given. but should
be long enough to allow the larger
coils to be used. An ordinary brass
hinge Is used on the movable arm;
brass screws should be used in all
places, as Iron screws would have
some effect on the working of the coils.
Instead of using a base, the arms
can be mounted directly on top of a
cabinet, and the knob allowed to pro-
ject over the panel, which makes
convenient position for operating. II
| 1t Is desired to use three coils Instead
of two. 1t is only necessary to add
another movable arm. The stationary
coil should be left In the center. Flex-
ible leads must be used on the nova
BILE coils and these should be soldered
to the contacts. The knob for ADJUST
ing the coupling Is not absolutely
necessary, except in certin hook-ups
where the hands of the operator have
capacity effect.
