Automatic W'ngoi Brake.
'A wagon brake -which operates au
tomatically Las been recently patented
by a Mississippi man. The ordinary ar
rangement of attaching a foot lever be
neath the driver's seat, connecting with
the brake, Is entirely dispensed with.
The driver Is not required to handle
the brake In any way, the simple halt
Ing of the horses only being necessary.
As shown In the Illustration, the brake
is pivoted so as to come In contact
with the rim of the rear wheel. On
the extreme outer eTid of the shafts Is
a vertical pivoted lever, one end of
which connects with' a rod extending
to the brake. The upper end of this
lever Is connected by a strap or chain
to the harness on the horse. As shown,

the top of this lever Is normally In
advance of the lever end. Obviously
a pulling pressure exerted by a back
ward movement of the horses- in stop
ping will force the brake against the
rear wheel. The driver In stopping his
thorses In this way automatically
throws on the brake.
Effect of Meat-Inapectlon Law.
In an address delivered before the
New York State Breeders' Association,
at Syracuse, G. P. McCabe, of the
United States Department of Agricul
ture, discussed the principal provisions
of the United States meat-inspection
law, the manner in which the provi
sions are enforced, and the bearing of
the law upon the production' and han
dling of meats. : -
"To secure the best results, the
breeders and feeders of every State In
the Union should take up vigorously
the question of the extension of mar
kets and should back the Department
of Agriculture in an Insistend demand
jfor an absolutely efficient vigilant,
fair and square meat Inspection.
If a due regard be had for clean-
' Uness, decency and honesty In the pre
paration and marketing of our meat
products, the United States will con
tinue to lead the world In the live
stock and meat trade."
' Coat of Hauling- Crop.
The bureau of statistics recently sent
out a special Inquiry circular to ascer
tain the cost of hauling farm crops to
shtpplng points, and the compiled re
sults representing replies from nenrly
2,000 counties in different parts of the
United States Indicate that the quan
tity, of farm produce annually hauled
amounts to 40.000,000 tons. The cost
of hauling the same Is estimated at ap
proximately $85,000,000, which Is an
average of 8V6 cents per hundred
weight In general, the hauling cost Is to a
large extent dependent upon the value
of the articles hauled, the more valu
able products taken to market oftener
and in smaller loads, and therefore at
a greater cost Corn, wheat hay and
potatoes are hauled at from 7 to 0
cents per 100 pounds ; tobacco and hogs
at 10 cents per 100 pounds ; cotton, 18
cents, and wool, 44 cents.

Bounty on Inaecta.
In some parts of Germany, where
the common European beetle, known as
Melolontha vulgarus, or cockchafer,
occurs In great numbers, and Is a con
siderable pest, especially In the larvae
state, the school children are paid a
bounty for the collection of these in
sects, and enormous quantities of them
have been gotten together in some local
ities In this manner. It Ts now pro
posed to And a commercial use for these
.beetles, such as the manufacture of
fertilizer, as a foodstuff, and In the
preparation of axle greases, for all of
which purposes they have been used to

row Itacklaa- Wheat.
To stack wheat before threshing so
that it will be dry when that time
comes, Is .the desire of every farmer
who raises that cereal. Mr. C.T.
Prltchard, of Randolph, Clay, county,
Mo., has a system that be has used for
a generation, and he never lost a bit of
wheat by dampness in the stack. lie
has a great reputation In his home for
this class of work, and he spends
large part of his time in showing oth
ers how to do It. He gives a descrip
tion of his method as follows :
"To stack wheat or oats so stack
will not take 'water. Commence the
stack or rick any way you wish. But
when you have the stack five or six
feet high, Just reverse the usual way
of stacking, and do It from the center
to the outer edge, Instead of from the
outer edge to the center. When you
begin at the center to stack out lay
two or three bundles so as to keep the
center highest with a good slant to
ward the outer edge. If at any time
the outer edge gets too high, stop be
fore you get there, and go back to the
center and commence again. Be sure to
keep the center highest with a good
slant to the outside.
"This way is Just about the same as
one shock on top of the other, only
more slant to the bundles.
"There Is no slip or slide. It Is fast
and easy, and sure keeps the stack dry.
If you are stacking the usual way, and
the stack should begin to slip, Just go
to the center and work out and see
how quickly you stop the slipping. Mix
it up a little work from the center
part of the time. Try It." " ' '
Prey of the Sparrow Hawk.
The sparrow hawk almost Invariably
catches a flying. bird for Its meal, even
striking down birds as large as the
wood pigeon, though usually going no
higher than a black bird. It does not
exactly swoop like the larger hawks,
yet It must have conditions of chase
of Its own choosing. That Is why the
small birds usually mob It with impu
nlty when tbey are numerous enough
to bewilder It Once, however, I saw
a sparrow hawk that had been molest
ed for some minutes by a perfect cloud
of green finches, dart among them and
secure a victim.
The other day I had one of these
birds pointed out as the one which, a
few days earlier, had come close to
the house toward dusk and caught a
bat on the wing. That however, Is a
very unusual meal. London News.
The Erar and the Chick. '
That Immutable law of physics that
matter cannot be annihilated, or, vice
versa, created out of nothing, appears
to have some doubters even In this day
of general education. The old query,
which weighs the most the egg or the
chicken that is hatched from the egg, Is
a very good example of this lack of
faith. To settle the matter for the
hundredth time, experiments were re
cently undertaken at one of the agri
cultural stations ensaeed In ooultry
studies., It was found that a fertile
egg during the process of Incubation
lost a little over 20 per cent in weight
while the chick hatched from such an
egg weighed 80 per cent less than the
egg before Incubation. A sterile egg
receiving similar treatment lost not
quite 16 per cent In weight

WOMEN'S LEAGUE "FORMED.
Banal Saff race Movement to Become
x National la Scope. ' : ; '
The American men folks are In for It
The suffragetes are coming! The move
ment started In England has -been
taken up in New' York. Plans of or
ganization are under way and the equal
suffrage women In other cities are be
coming Interested. The New York as
sociation is known as the Women's
League. . It Is purposed to make Its ini
tial salute an agitation such as has had
no parallel since Elizabeth Cady Stan
ton held her woman's rights conven
tion. It Is to be launched- as a federa
tion of the women of the State, looking
to a larger national council, and a com
mittee at Albany to lobby for every
measure that affects the, sex will be a
vital part of the program. ,
The movement. Is headed by Mrs.
Dore Lyon, who Is president of the
Eclectic Club and one of the best dress
ed, women In New York. But behind
her looms Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch,
daughter of the late Elizabeth Cady
Sfantoii. It was Mrs; Blatch who fired
the first shot In the proposed campaign
last winter, when she organized the
League of Self-Supporting Women.
The plans of the American suffrag
etes Is to conduct a militant campaign
such as the women of London carried
forward until they awoke all England.
At the last meeting of the Women's
League Mrs. Wells, a London member
of the "fighting women," told how they
"boo-ed" an obnoxious member of par
liament from a public meeting.
; 'Mrs. Blatch' here arose and said that
women had been Insulted by a promi
nent legislator at Albany recently when
they went there to secure certain rights.

Mrs. Blatch remarked that this man
would have occasion to regret it at his
next public declaration because ' - "the
women would be there." That Indicates

IS IT A TEE ASUEE CHEST?
1 . ''"
Officer a of the Alabama Make Dis
covery In Cnban Water.
While the various battleships com
prising the Atlantic fleet were at the
rendezvous on the south shore of Cuba
It came to pass on one stilly morning
In April last that one of these, the
Alabama, flagship of the second squad
ron, must needs lose - an ' awning
stanchion by dropping It overside, says
the New York Times.
Now, awning stanchions are not a
very Important part in the equipment
of a battleship, and one more or less
makes no serious difference. Tills one
had gone overboard In about seventy
feet of water, and at about the same
time the crew was going to breakfast
so no effort .was made to recover it
But It so happened that the surgeon
of the vessel, Surgeon L.' von Wede
klnd, came on deck Just .then to smoke
an after-breakfast cigar, and leaning
over the aft rail discerned a white ob
ject glimmering In the depths beneath.
Gazing more Intently Into the limpid
depth the ship Just then having swung
so as to form a lee the surgeon made
out the outlines of another object rest
ing on the sea bed some seventy feet
under foot and one which took the
shape of astout chest, Iron-bound and
apparently lncrusted with the barna
cles of a hundred years or more.
Tho surgeon called others to look,
and one or two of his brother officers
got a glimpse of the chest before the
sea breeze again blurred the surface
of the water. Then It was that a re
sourceful . liteutenant constructed a
water glass, and through this made a
careful Bcrutlny of the chest, and from
his observations Judged that It bad
rested there upward of a century or
more. The chest appeared to be of very
stout build, bound around with Iron
bands and one end of It was deeply
sunk In the bed of the sea. x
Admiral Davis, the flag officer who
flies his pennant from the Alabama,
was informed of the discovery, as was
also Captain Comly, whe commands
the battleship. Both came to look, and
both heard with great Interest the re
port of the lieutenant who had. In
spected what Is supposed to be some
sunken treasure chest None on board
could guess from what galleon It had
been flung overboard, but all were
quite certain that It contained many
fortunes In pieces of eight That It neld
vast treasure of some sort all were con
vinced, and arrangements were being
made by which a diver could be sent
down to pass a tackle around the chest
when the flagship Connecticut anchor
ed a few miles away, made signal for
the Alabama to get her anchor and pro
ceed to the target range. .
A half-dozen grate bars were hur-
i rledly lashed together, a loxut length ,
of line attached, and at the other end
a vinegar cask was made fast This
was thrown overboard to mark the po
sition of the chest and some day, very
soon, these men of the Alabama mean
to fit out an expedition at their own
expense and go down there, drag up
that box and see what it contains.
GOOD MAIMERS' SECRET.
Two Theories of the. Acquirement,
I'naelflahneaa and Conventionality.
Most mothers hold, consciously or
unconsciously, - one of - two theories
about the "acquirement of manners by'
their children jj H' j ';
One mother says :"'Manners are only
the outward sign of the inner nature.
If my daughter has a kind heart and
a well-trained mind she will behave
In a gentle, charming fashion. I will
teach her compassion, respect for age,
unselfish ?eal for heTpIng with the
world's work. Her manners will take
care of themselves." ' ' '
Another mother says: "My girls will
never get on without conventional man
ners. They shall be taught from baby
hood to emulate the speech and bear
ing of ladles. They shall be Instructed
In the proper behavior, for every occa
sion. They shall walk and dance and
write and speak with graceful perfec
tion.", , , , . . , , , . ;,S
Neither method, says the Youth's
Companion, produces altogether, satis
factory results. .. ...i n f
Unselfishness Is truly the foundation
of good manners, but not the super
structure. Many conventional restric
tions have rown about social relations.
Some can be explained by the demand
of kindness and some can not Could
a child Infer from his desire to help
MBS. DORE LYON.
others that he should not eat with his
knife? Many offenses , against good
taste Interfere In some way with the
rights of others,..but many others do
not. " ' " '
Still no set of rules to produce a
polished lady, will achieve a result fit
for. the strain of life. .The members
of the French boarding "school may
adorn the ballroom, but are too likely
to fall at the breakfast table or In the
crowded car. The woman of perfect
manners must re-enforce her unselfish
ness by social rules, and conventional
ity must be vitalized by. the warm. de
sire .of others' pleasure. ' The best of
life never "comes naturally," whether
In manners or morals. .
The secret of charming manners Is
the desire for them. When the mother
wishes them for her daughter as much
as she wishes the other goods of the
world her daughter will .have them.

metallic diving suit which Is made
somewhat on the plan of the ancient
loat-of-anns, being built of light and
strong sheet metal having a thickness
varying from 0.3 to 0.3 inch according
to the position of the pieces. On the
top of the armor Is fixed the helmet
which Is the principal feature of the
apparatus.' The" air Is- not brought to
the diver from the outside, as usual,
but the air he breathes Is sent by a
