Saving Money.
Economy's a splendid thing, and if
you practice it 'twill bring true com-
fort to your fading years, when •waste-
ful people are in tears. When old age
at your portal knocks there's nothing
like the good old rocks, the silver roub-
les of your dad's, the bones, the rhino
and the scads, Age is the sweetest
time of life, the evening of a day of
strife, when all the tools are laid aside,
and all the clamoring has died, when,
at the setting of the sun, we look back
on our work well done. That is, if we
have laid away a package for the dy-
ing day; ifiwe have, safe from moth
and rust, the plunks, the lucre, and the
dust. And naught on earth can be
more dire than Old Age lacking food
and fire; Old Age by fears and famine
tossed, a -looking b';ck on chances lost!
Old Age that weeps and broods upon
the golden years forever gone. Oh,
gentle reader, blithe and bold, you, like
the rest, are growing old! Do you salt
down each day a dime, preparing for
that wintry time? Be wise and buy a
.savings bank -a little galvanized tin
tank -and in it drop, and drop again,
the lire, the kroners and the yen! -
Walt Mason.
CURED OF THIS
HORRIDLE DISEASE
Edmonton Girl saved By
"Fruit -a -tides"
D1\xONT0N, ALTA., Nov. aoth 191x.
"I had been a sufferer from babyhood
with that terrible complaint; Consti-
pation.
I have been treated by physicians and
have taken every lnedicine that I
heard of, but without the slightest
benefit. I concluded that there was no
cure for this horrible disease.
Finally, I read of "Fruit-a-tives" and
decided to try them, and the effect was
marvellous.
The first box gave me great relief,
and after I used a few boxes, I found
that I was entirely well.
"Fruit-a-tives" is the only medicine
that ever did me any good for Chronic
Constipation and I want to say to all
who suffer as I did -Try "Fruit-a-tives-"
why suffer any longer when there is a
perfect cure in this great fruit medicine"
(Miss) E. A. GOODALL.
"Fruit-a-tives" is the only remedy in
the world made of fruit and the only
one that will completely and absolutely
cure Constipation.

MAKING A STAVE SILO.
Directions For Building This Safety
Deposit Vault For Stook Food.
We have had so many inquiries for
specific instructions as to the manner
of constructing a stave silo that it has
seemed necessary to have drawings
made to illustrate the most important
items, said an article In Hoard's Dairy-
man printed several years ago and
recently reproduced in that paper. The
cut on this page is intended to

resent

and twenty feet deep. The hoops are

at the bottom, then one two feet above,
another three feet above the last, and
so on, the spaces increasing regularly
to the top. Each hoop is in two pieces,
and these pieces are joined in the rear
just the same as in front -by passing
through hardwood blocks, as shown,
with washers and nuts, so as to loosen
or tighten, as may be necessary.
The staves should be two inches thick
and may be four, six or eight inches
wide, but the narrower they are the
better. It is not at all necessary that
they should be twenty feet long, as
they may be easily spliced. Saw into
the ends that are to come together and
insert a narrow piece of galvanized
sheet iron, say, two inches wide and
as long as the staves are wide. Neither
Is It necessary to bevel the staves, but
set them up with the inner edges close
together and they will swell and make
a tight joint. Many prefer to bevel the
staves and set them together with
dowels.
Doors for taking out the ensilage are
provided for every space except the
lowest. These doors need not be cut
out until the last thing and then should
bo cut beveling at the top, bottom and
sides, largest all around on the inside.
A strip of building paper tacked around
the edges will supply the waste of the
saw. The pieces forming these doors
should be firmly and permanently
fastened together by cleats or bands.
In the diagram A represents one of
the hoops, B one of the blocks through
which the ends of hoops pass for tight-
ening, O the cleats for holding the
doors together, D a splice in the staves
and E the doors. To erect such a silo

Inches larger than the diameter of the
silo and high enough so that the earth
may be graded up so as to tarn all sur-
face water from the structure, level
the top of wall and set up the staves,
using lath or any thin stuff to hold
them in place until some of the hoops
can be put on and tightened. After the
silo is filled and has swelled and set-

the outside at the bottom with cement.

HOWT h-TIENQVATE PARASOLS.
Dainty Touches That Simple Needle-
work Will Effect,
If your last summer parasols• are
too dilapidated to useet them out
and study their possibilities. Some
whose covering is only soiled. not lad.
ed, may be cleaned and freshened by
embroidery or a covering of net or
chiffon; others may need new tops.
The latter can be added at home by
a skilled needlewoman, but if dia.

covering to a professional to bs.
mounted.
Remember that the distance between
spokes may vary, so in removing the
cover mark a certain spoke with a
thread and number the sections from
that, In this way it will be easy to
get the new cover in its right position.
Cut each section from the old one,
allowing a trifle more for seams if the
edges have been cut. Baste carefully,
fit to the frame, then sew the seams
firmly, and the cover is ready for its
embroidery or further decoration.
This may be done before mounting
or after the cover is firmly tacked to
the frame. When a design is detached
each section can be worked before the
panels are basted together. Fox braid-
ing it is easier to mount the cover
than work with both hands, as on a
standard frame.
A plain white linen parasol may be
given a decided air by working in the
panels sprays of flowers in eyelet em-
broidery and outline for the seams or
entirely in solid embroidery. An ef-
fective parasol of white 'pongee has
bunches of wild carrot worked in the
panels. Two sizes of sprays are used;
a bold one in every alternate panel,
with a single flower on the others.
The flower panicles are worked in
French knot in heavy Roman floss;
the foliage done in slanting satin
stitch,
A parasol of pale gray linen was
given a fine inch border of deep rose
sewed on the outside of the parasol.
Tho joining was concealed by a line
of wild roses worked in several tones
of pink with pale yellow centres and
green stems.
Any linen or silk parasol could be
changed by adding a similar border
in a deeper tone of its own shade or
in a contrasting color. Harmonize the
two sections by a conventional de-
sign Worked in self tones. A violet
linen cover could have a deep purpl•
border and vines of clematis worked
in purple shades.
Wanted Silk Hats Abolished.
Some years ago an attempt was
made by certain members of the mu-
nicipal council of Courteuil, Franco,
to make the wearing of a top hat il-
legal, the grounds set forth for the
measure being that the sight of a silk
hat is a humiliation to those who
cannot afford to wear one, that it is
both unbeautiful and unnecessary as
an article of attire and also, chiefly,
because it is worn mostly by aristo-
crats who live by the sweat of the
poor and militated against equality,
among citizens of the republic. A fine
of 5 francs was the proposed penalty
for 'wearing the condemned headgear,
but the "topper" found friends at
court, and the measure was rejected.
The Waiter Understood.
They were lunching together, and
the talk turned to superstition.
"When you made that boast just
now," said one of the party, "you
should have knocked or, wood to drive
away the evil spirits that are envious
of human happiness."
"Is that what it's for?"
"Yes. It's an old German custom.
You rap on wood three times. Say,
that waiter of ours looks like a Ger-
man. Rap three times and see if he
doesn't understand it."
The other man rapped.
The waiter understood it.
He brought three beers.
An Old Banking House.
Child's Bank is one of the oldest
private banks in London. No. 1 Fleet
street was once a goldsmith's shop,
and is said to have been changed
into a bank in the time of Sir Francis
Child, once Lord Mayor 'of London.
Even now the custom exists of calling
the front of the bank "the shop," and
the back, where the ledgers are kept,
the "counting. house." Another old
custom still kept up is that of three
junior partners and two salaried part-
ners sleeping on the premises in rota-
tion. Thus one of the partners is al-
ways on hand if needed.

What She Lacked.
A superintendent of a Sunday school
relates• the following incident:
The title of the lesson was "The
Rich Young Man" and the golden
text "One thing thou lackest." A lady
teacher in the primary class asked ai
little tot to repeat the two, and, look=
ing earnestly in the teacher's face]
the child unblushingly told her, 'One
thing thou lackest - a rich young
man."
She Surrendered.

"Why?" he gasped.

Billy Maelean, says the Saturday
Evening Post, owns the Toronto World
and a seat in the Canadian Parliament.
Mr. Maclean has a reputation for at-
tacking the railroads for their short-
comings.
A couple of switchmen came out of
the yard in Toronto and walked toward
a neighboring quenchery. Outside the
bar sat a man with a wooden leg,- half
an arm and part of an ear.
The switchmen looked him over and
knew he belonged or had belonged to
their guild.
"Have a beer?" asked one.
"Sure!" replied the mutilated man,
"Where'd you get them?" asked the
second switchman, indicating the man's
various amputations.
"I got them the same way Billy Mac-
lean got his seat in Parliament -jump-
ing on the Grand Trunk."
In Germany, says the Scientific
American, wood is too expensive to be
burned, and it is made into artifical
silk worth $2 a pound and bristles
worth $4 a pound; into paper, yarn,
twine, carpet, canvas, and cloth. From
sawdust parquet flooring is made; the
materials for this may be bought by
the pound and then mixed, so that the
householder can lay his own hardwood
floors according to his individual taste
and ingenuity.
