MINO AND MUSCLE.
Iaflara of Farmer Vpa tfca Lattar

f In Il teats of skill the Influence t
the mind Is most Important. To per-
form In thorouithly good style any dltfl
cult feat of skill it is absolutely uoces
iiary tbat the nitud must le free from
fear, anxiety or nervonsness. I knew
"once, years ago, a man who had been
a bullfighter lu Spain. During one of
his, glowing accounts of tbe. snprt I
expressed my surprise that he should
have left the life. His reply was: "One
day I was about to enter the ring and
I had a little creepy feeling of four.
Then I stopped for good. The man who
feels fear is sure to be killed.
And it Is equally true Jhat the man
who fears is heavily handicapped, no
matter what the eonfcst may be. Anxi
ety and nervousness are closely akin
to fear, and both are so powerful In
their effect as to render It almost Im
possible for one to perform perfectly
any difficult or delicate feat of skill.
The man who Is afraid or anxious or
nervous Is almost sure to fail. . : i
All emotions when Intense have a
powerful effect on the muscles. This
is plainly smi In the tension of the
muscles, clinching of hands and arms,
as well as of the face, In anger, In the
spasmodic breathing of excitement,
In the muscular weakness and trem
bling of fear, and in "many other con
dltiona that might be mentioned. Now,
in feats of skill of whatever nature,
whether balancing, juggling, marks
manship, tumbling or shot putting. It
is necessary that Just the right muscles
fnust be used at Just the right instant
and to just the right degree. When,
however, the muscles are disturbed by
motional excitement such delicate ad
justment Is. impossible and tbe prob
able result la failure, y , '
Tbe mental state most conducive to
success in games of skill la confident
calmness. And by practice this state
of mind may be made a hablt-a. habit
most valuable in all games of skill,
even In that game of skill called life.

' We show herewith a design and plant
for a model home that baa been erect
ed la many places for $1,800. There is
a cellar under the entire house. Tbe
walls are of brick, and the floor Is ce
mented. $A hot air furnace In the cel
lar heats the house. The frame of the
building Is of hemlock lumber and tim
ber put up balloon style. The walls
are all sheathed, papered, sided and
shingled.. The main roof Is also shin
gled with white cedar shingles. The
cornices, rails and all other exterior
finishings are of plno and cypress lum
ber and Holdings. .
The plana columns are of whttewood

LIVING ON STILTS.
A Strange Sight la the French Tar
peatlae Grawlas. Coaatry.
? People "liv6 "on Sixteen foot stilts In
the remarkable :' turpentine growing
country of France. They don these
stilts after breakfast and do not re
move them again till it Is time for bed.
There are two reasons for the wear
ing of stilts 1n the turpentine country.
One is the turpentine gathering. Tbe
other is the herding of the great flocks.
i The turpentine comes" from the aiari
;. time pine. ...This (reels tapped, a shin
, gle Is inserted, and from tie sbnglt Is
hong" a tiny bucket into whkh the tur
pentine drips.. The' tapping process is
like that nsed on the American sugar
maple. , ' i
Young pine trees are tapped low, bnt
.with each year's passage the Incision is
made higher, so that U is not long be
fore most of the trees are tapped twen
ty or thirty feet from the ground. '
Hence the huge stilts of the work
men. On these stilts they traverse the
flat country, covering fire or six yards
with each stride, and quickly and easi
ly they collect the turpentine that over
flows the little buckets hanging high
up in the trees.'
It is for herding also that' the stilts
are useful j The country is very flat,
and the herdsman unless he continual
ly climbed a tree would be unable to
keep all the members of bis huge flock
in sight But striding about on his
stilts he commands a wide prospect
He is always, as it were, upon a hllL
The stilt wearers carry a fifteen foot
staff with a round, flat top like a din
ner plate. When It is lunchtime or
.when they are tired they plant upright
under them the staff and sit down on
its round, fiat top. Then in comfort,
seated so dizzily high, they eat and
rest and chatter a strange sight to be
hold. New York Press.
Hew the Katydid fUaaW '
Everybody la familiar with the rasp
ing notes known as the katydld'i
"song." It l the male only that li c
pable of emitting the well kuown
sounds, and he does It In a most pe
culiar manner. III "vocal organs" are
at the base of his wings and consist of
two flat excrescences of thin, dry
membrane. It Is the rubbing of these
two membranous plate together which
produces the "song." If your shoulde
blades were so loosely put togothe
that one could , ho 'slipped under the
other aud the underside of one and the
upper side of the other were .so rough
that the ope rut Km of slipping them
past each other would cause a rasping
sound you could Imitate the katydid's
musical efforts very nicely.

Why There Are So Simir Smith.
At the time of 1ju adoption of sur
names every sirtl.iftit whose work re
quired the .-striking blows on metal
was known us a muUer or smith, aaC
the community therefore had Its Muck
smith, whitesmith, goldsmith, silver
smith, arrowsniltli and several others
of the same character. Tito uumber of
Smiths of the prevent day may there
fore be readily accounted for wheu wo
remember that each of the different
kinds of smiths was is much entitled
to the use of bis trade name for a cog
nouien as any other artisan. John the
blacksmith and John the coppersmith
were both known as John the smith, an
appellation which naturally resolved it
self Into the family , name of John
Smith.
A Car of Craelty.
From time to time unfounded
charges of cruelty are made against
nurses, especially those engaged la
mental asylums. A striking Instance
occurred recently In tbe case of a nurse
at a county asylum. She was on vlsif
ing room duty, aud a newcomer was
asking people who bad.bcen visitors
for some time as to the treatment of
the patients. ' -
Oh," was the reply, "they treats tho
poor souls cruel here. Why, they gives
Tin a bath every week"'
TO PRESERVE WOOD.
A Easllah Process Which Is Claim
ed to Be EffectlTe.
It is claimed that a process invented
by a Mr. Powell, an Englishman, gives
artificial age to wood. He replaces the
sap of trees by beet sugar or sac
charin, which acts as a preservative
of the wood.
The following Is the method employ
ed: Newly felled wood is laid on a
wagonette, which is rolled into a huge
cylinder, the Interior of which is pro
vided with pipes. Either hot or cold
water, as occasion requires, may be
introduced into these pipes. The wood
having been placed in the cylinder, the
latter is supplied with sugar or sac
charin. Hot water is then forced
through the pipes.
The contact of the heat boils the
sugar, which penetrates the pores of
the wood. Tbe cooling process is ac
fcompllahed by a current of cold water
forced through the pipes. The cylinder
is emptied of the sugar or saccharin,
, and the wagonette, with its burden of
wood, is rolled Into a special room,
where it is dried by currents of hot
air. After being cooled again, the
wood, properly seasoned by the sugar,
is ready for use. It is said not to
spring or gather dampness and to be
proof against destruction by insects.
