Somebody had to plant trees forth

It Is bad policy to wash harness
with soap, ns the potash injures the

rub off the dirt as well as possible

To get rid of mold in cellars, put

set lire to it; close the doors, making
the cellar as nearly air-tight as possi

For keeping fruit to the best advant

A Farm Tool House.
One of the most useful and money
saving buildings that a farmer ci
place on his premises Is a spacious and
convenient tool house. It is generally
the case that there is room enough in
the various outbuildings to house tho
farm implements If It is economized;
but it is a corner here and a few feet
of- barn or shed floor there; sometimes
In a cellar and sometimes in a loft,,
possibly easy of access, but probably
difficult, and In nil such Instances It
Is space originally intended and need
ed for some other purpose. Tho main
reason why so many farmers neglect
protecting their implements from the
weather when not in use, is the lack of
convonlent and roomy storage. We
lay great stress on its being spacious
and handy; for If it is thus, James will
always drive the lumber wagon inside
to take the hay raek off, nnd ho will
draw hi the stone boat with tho plow
and harrow and cultivator on it, and
they will escape the next rain or dew
and tho consequent coat of rust A
farmer ileitis a tool house ns much
as a horse-barn or a woodshed. Our
illustration is suggestive. It Is ndapt
ed to a Wnllty alnmnding with stone.
The walls of the building are made of
that material, laid without mortar.
The foundation is placed below the
frost, and tho earth is banked on the
outside to further protect them and to
throw off water. The top of the wall
!s leveled with mortar, and a two-inch
;iluuk laid on, to which tho rafters are
.iptkcd. The latter are braced on tho
Inslilo by nailing on cross strips. The
roof may be made of the cheapest ma
terial, which varies with localities.
There Is one window In the end oppo
lte tho door. The doorway should bo
twelve feet wide, to admit n reaper,
md if the location is not too much ex

A Story of Napoleon.
Sir William Fraser, whose mnmolrs
are Just published, writes as follows
about Napoleon: "When Napoleon was
at school at Brienno, the son of an
English peer, who himself became
Iaii-A Wenlock, was his school-fellow.
One day the little Oorslenn came to
young Lnwley and said, 'Look at this.'
He showed him a letter written in re
markably good English. It was ad
dressed to the British admiralty, and
requested permission to enter our
navy. The young Bonaparte said, "The
difficulty, I am afraid, will be my re
llglou.' Lawlev said. 'You young ras
cal, 1 don't believe that you have any
religion at all.' Napoleon replied, 'But
my family have; my mother's race, the
Ramolinl, are very rigid; I should be
disinherited if I showed any signs of
becoming a heretic.' These facts I
had from one who had Very good
means of knowing. He told me that
nonapnrte's letter was sent, nud that
It still exists In the archives of the
admiralty."
The HnrglHr Came.
It was an agent for a big manufac
turing concern who was talking.
"I once got out a poster," he said,
"which started in: 'Keep your eye on
this; a burglar is coming. This I dis
tributed broadcast In the towns In the
northern part of the State. Amopg
ither places, it was hung conspicuous
ly In a small grocery nud dry goods
storo in one of tho towns in that sec
tion. ,
"Ono morning the proprietor, when
he opened up shop, found that my no
tice had been amended to read: 'Keep
your eye on this; the burglar hns come.'
The correction was made In pencil
murks.
"And sure enough the burglar had
come. And he had carried off about
$100 In money and goods." New York
Sun.
