The Escurinl , in which for nearly three centurirs the kings and queens of Spain have been buried , is said to be the most gorgeous burial vault in the world , according to London Tit- Bits. It is an octagonal chamber , thirty- six feel across , with its walls , save where the collins stand , entirely over laid with precious marbles. The stair case which loads to it is of marble with jasper walls. The general effect is unspeakably splendid. In the midst of this magnificence are the massive black marble caskets let into the walls , continuing the bodies themselves. They nre exactly alike , inscribed simply with the names of the different kings and queens. There is room for just six more monarchs and their consorts. Of another character altogether is the vault devoted to Spain's royal chil- flrcn princes and .princesses. Here wliite marble rules , and very charming are some of the efligics over the tombs. The local name for the vault is "the place of the little angels , " and though many of the princes who lie here were not at all angelic in their lives , the im- prcssion left by the white marble wings of the statues is one of spotless purity. One unfortunate Spanish king , Don Jamie II. of Aragon , is daily on view in the Cathedral of Falma , in Majorca.- The sacristan of the place takes you to a yellow marble monument 4n the choir , opens a cupboard and pulls out a very ordinary coflin with a glass lid. As poor Don Jamie died in the four teenth century , he is not now at all a lively spectacle. II is mummy is mud < > gay , however , with imitation royal robes cottony orniine. and so forth. A Bare 1'oH.sihiliiy. In his diary , which is incorporated In the "Life and Letters of Sir Richard Claverhouse Jebb , " the great Greek scholar recorded a flash of his own wit which is cf a most appealing variety. At a dinner at Cambridge Sir liich- ard , then Mr. Jebb , took in a young woman , who got through the first course with little conversation. Sud denly she startled him by saying , in the most unprovoked way , while she was still dining vith apparent good appe tite : "Professor Jebb , do you think wom en ever die of a broken heart ? " "Perhaps other organs may hava something to do with it , " he proffered , in reply. ' THHEE CUSES OF ECZEMA. * "Woman Tells of Her Ilrother'.s Me Siifl'eriiiK Two Hnlilei Al Ciirei !

ASIMPLE SAFEGUARD IN BUY ING PAINT. - Everybody should know how simp-le and easy it is to avoid all unccrtaintj' in buying paint materials. There ure many socalledvhite leads on the market - ket , v.-hich contain clmlk , zinc , barytes , and other cheap adulterants. Unless the 'property owner take. ! advantage of the simple means of protection "ulTord- < - dm by reliable % .hite lead msuri- facturer ? , ho runs gri-il : risk of getting an inferior and adulterated wiiite lead. It is to protect the paint-buyer against fraud'and adulteration that Na tional Lead Company , the largest mak ers of genuine Pure White Lead , place their famous "Dutch I'.oy Painter" trademark on every keg of their pro duct , an absolute guarantee of its pur ity and quality. Anyone who wants to make a practical test of white lead and who wants a valuable free book about painting , should address National Lead Company , Woodbridge building , New York , and ask for test equipment.

Pension Themselvea. Domestic servants in ( Jermany come under the law that obliges all persons- below a certain income to provide for their old age. The postollice issues cards and stamps , and one of these stamps must be dated and allixed to the card every fonday. Sutaetimes the employers buy the cards and stamps and show them at the postotiicu each month. Sometimes they expect the ser vant to pay half the money required. Women who go out by the day get their stamps at the house they work in on Mondays. If a girl marries she may cease to insure and may have a sum of money toward her outfit. In that interest."J But if she goes on Avith her insurance she will have from 15 to 20 marks ( 3 to $4) ) a month from the state after the age of 70. Hiril Uojs. Bird dogs have been known as such for only about three OP four centuries. So far as we know , the Duke of North umberland , sixteenth century , was the first trainer of bird dogs. The duke was followed by others who trained dogs to "set" birds , but it was not till the beginning of the nineteenth cen tury that any reliable record of a dis tinct brand of bird dogs can be found. The Gordon setter was founded by the Duke of Gordon about 1SOO. New York American. All IK tbc Family. Mr. Jagway awoke from a troubled dream and saw his wife going through Hie pockets of his trousers. "If you find anything in them , my dear , " he said , "let me know , will yon ? ' "If I don't find anything in them , L'be- nczer , " she answered , in a high keyed voice"I'll ; let you know , all right. " Making no rejoinder , Mr. .Tagway calm ly awaited the coming explosion. MOTHER AND CHILD. Doth Fully Tfouriglicil on Grapc-Xntw. The value of this famous food is shown in many -ways , in addition to what might be expected from its chemi cal analysis. Grape-Nuts food is made of whole wheat and barley , is thoroughly baked for many hours and contains all the wholesome ingredients in these cereals. It contains also the phosphate of pot ash grown in the grains , which Nature uses to build up brain and nerve cells. Young children require proportion ately more of this element because the brain aud nervous system of the child grows so rapidly. A VQ. mother found the value of Grape-Nuts in not only building up her own strength but in nourishing li&'f baby at the same time. She writes : "After my baby came I did not TC- cover health and strength , and the doc tor said I could not nurse the baby ns I did not have nourishment for her , besides I was too weak. "lie snid I might try a change of diet and see what that would do , and recommended Grape-Nuts food. I bought a pkg. and used it regularly. A marked change came over both baby and I.

Dam will be about ICO feet long at top to raise the water ten feet. 1. What would be the cheap est way of building the damV 2. "Will you give a plan of such a dam ? o. Wihat size ot turbine would * be neces sary to run -18-inch circular sawV Ans. The accompanying sketch shows a cross-section of the style of iam that would be required for this purpose. Dams are sometimes con structed 'by ' a curbing of wood , mason ry , or cement , the interior being filled with dry stones. Such a dam is called a rock-fill dam. If stone is plentiful , the dam i : ay be built entirely of ma sonry. Tlie top should be laid either with plank or cement. As the illustration shows , the dam is laid on bed-rock , the bed rock being blasted out sufiiciently to secure a key and a solid footing generally. With a ten-foot dam the base should be" ten feet wide. On the upstream side , the batter or slope -of the dam is about 1 in 4 , and on the downstream side the upper part of the batter is about 1 in 3 and the lower part 1 in 1. The dam throughout its length should curve up stream , so as to present a concave sur face to the pressure of the water. The masonry work should be constructed of rubble with cement mortar , and all the work should be very thoroughly done. A necessary provision in connection with a dam is sufficient wasteway for water not utilized for p'ower. The com mon form of wasteway is a tunnel through the dam sufficiently large to provide for the maximum amount of water that would be required to pass through it. In addition sluice gates should be provided , by which the How DAM FOU SAW MILL POWER. f water would be controlled. The waterto be utilized for power may be carrie.d to the wheel by means of a flume. A fifteen-inch turbine wheel would provide from S to 10 horse pow er , which would be sufficient to run a saw of the size mentioned. Montreal Star. f nv Stall. The stall as shown here is four feet ver all , but can be made less. Cow when eating will stand with her hind feet just behind the 2 by 4. leaving the droppings behind it. When , she lies down she will be com pelled to lie'in front of the 2 by 4 cow STALL. with her head under the feed rack. It is not necessary to have a gutter in a stall of this kind. There should be short partitions , however , to keep the cows from turning around. For building , use 2 by 4 for bottom feed rack ; bottom of rack 3 feet above . floor. Strips of 1 by 4. G inches apart form the rack , and should slope back GO degrees. From 7 to S feet from front of stall place 2 by 4 on edge ; if set in < Hrt use stakes. Cheiiiicnl Acioi of Although cultivation is necessary and will increase your crops , no matter how much you cultivate , or how you labor , it should be remembered that the plant food in the soil is the vital element of crop production. The crop removes this element , but by applying manure it is put back again. Manure not only en riches soil with the elements of fertil ity , but also renders the stored plant food of the soil more available , im proves the chemical conditions , makes the soil warmer and enables it to re tain more moisture and to draw it up ? rom below. Thorough Cultivation. If the ground is cultivated often enough no weeds can "grow , and if the ground for a crop is carefully prepared before putting in the seed , by deep plowing and frequent harrowing , the cultivation required after the plants are up need not be more than one inch deep. If this is dons after every rain , there cnn ne r. , . weeds , and they wm become fewer every year , while the cultivatic-n will prevent loss of in > is- ture in the soil by affording a loose covering of dry earth. Slt for I.-vo Stnc ! . Why salt should be regularly sup plied to stock is thus put by a famous English authority : Because in the blood of animals .there is six ov seven times more soilni : tlian'p.itassium. and that the omiKicifion of the bloo I is constant. To ] ? < : > > ( ) aMUia'y ' in gt/od health a definite amount of common salt must be assimilated. The excess of potassium salts -vegetable foods causes by chemical exchange an : rl > - normal loss of common wilt. This is proved by the fact that the craving of an animal for common salt is most no ticeable when the food contains a large proportion of potassium salts , such as wheat , barley , oats , potatoes , beans and peas. The addition of salt to animal food increases the appetite , promotes the repair of tissue by its searching diffusion through the body , and stimu lates the rapid using up of its waste products. vBoussingault's experiments showed that salt increases muscular vigor and activity , and improves their genpral appearance and condition. For Fe < Mlix Stock. A bucket of peculiar construction , designed especially to be used by farm ers and dairymen in feeding slop to stock and in the handling of fluid sub stances is the inven tion of a Michigan man. It serves in a sense as a dipper. The arrangement is such that it can be filled by forcing it bottom downward in to a receptacle of fluid substance , the ? ; nw niTKirr. hinged portion of the bottom being opened to permit the bucket to be filled and closed to hold the contents until carried to the place of feeding. The contents can thus be disc-barged into , a trough without wasting it and without the liability of spilling it upon the clothes of the operator. The hinged portion of the bottom of the can is operated by a rod extending above the top , which term inates into a handle. As the bucket is carried by the latter , pressure is always maintained ujwu the bottom to keep it closed. When it is desired to discharge the contents the handle is pushed downward. The llisyht AVay to 1'aek Fruit. If the fruitgrower simply tumbles his apples into the barrel without sort ing and without arrangement , in order to get the greatest number into the 1 arrcl , heads it up and ships to m.u'- ket , he will discover when he g 'ts his < -h < ck that his fruit has been sold for th < lowest price. The only way to get the top prices for fruit is to sort it according to grades , arranging in bar rels or boxes in layers , placing each apple in by hand , and selecting for the top layer fruit of the same color. The top layer should be made up of apples all of the same size if possible , and the fruit should come just to the top of the staves. Then the heading should be carefully placed on top and gently pressed down until it slips into the chine. This can be done better by the use of a block placed under a lever. Xitrntu of Soda. . The value of nitrate of soda applied to barnyard millet at the Xew Jersey experiment station was stated by the experimenters as follows : Amount ap plied , 1UO pounds per acre ; yield u"ii' treated acre , T.G.'J tons ; treated acre , IS.oS tons ; gain by use of nitrate , u.Ti > tons ; per cent of gain , 7o.-i ; valuu of gain , at ? 3 per ton , $17.23 ; cost oi ! nitrate per acre. $ o.GO. net gain pei ? acre by use of nitrate over cost , $ lo.05. The crop -was seeded on June 1G on well-fertilized land at the rate of three ? fourths bushels of seed per acre , after a crop of oat and pea forage had been harvested , , which averaged six tons per acre. The nitrate was applied soon af ter the plants were well rooted and capable of absorbing food rapidly. Farming Notes. Remember the importance of the kitchen garden. Preaching economy doesn't amount to much. You must practice it , but there is such a thing as being too economical. The Clairmont ranch , near Englewood - wood , in Clark County. Kan. , consist ing of 21,000 acres of fine land , will be cut up into small farms. One hundred and thirty-nine cows , comprising the best of thirty-six Illi nois herds , produced an average of oOl pounds of butter fat last year. A grist mill built at Dciii.iark , Ox ford County. Mich. , 100 years ago is still in a state of good preservation and doing business at the old stand. A Swiss manufacturer claims to have iKH'fccted an artificial wool from jute which will stand dyeing some thing hitherto regarded as impossible. Oatmeal and linseed boiled into a , thin gruel is fine for lambs. They like it and thrive mightily. They do not rieed much water with this gruel if fed twice a day. In Holland they rotate the fertili zers as well as the crops. Each crop has its particular coaxer. Perhaps that's why they farm successfully on land worth ShGOO per acre. A cow owned by William Ma her of SheJlield , 111. , gave birth tovthree good- sized and perfectly developed calves. She is half Jersey , and raised ttie calves the first three weeks on her own milk.
