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?

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.

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 rep- resent ep•r sent a silo sixteen feet in diameter and twenty feet deep. The hoops are of five-eighths inch round iron, two STAVE SILO. [From Board's Dairyman.] 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 build a foundation some six or eight 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- tled to place permanently bank up on the outside at the bottom with cement. Put on any sort of roof to suit fancy -even to poles and straw. -Hoard's Dairyman. , .......-2 I ..

If you would have an egg to hatch make the mother of that egg scratch, for the light of life in the egg will pale if the ben gets lazy and fat and stale. -Rural New Yorker. Drinking vessels placed in the lien houses should be put on a shelf that is raised at least six inches from the ground or the fowls will scratch a lot of dirt into the water. Ducks are fond of a mash, and it usually constitutes the bulk of the food given to them. When grown, however, except in the egg laying season, they thrive and do well on a mixed grain diet, fed dry, if access to a stream Ly given.

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. trustful of one's ability do the em. broidery first and take the frame and 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.

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. "Do you know," be said, "t11 every time I look at you I he, thoughts of revenge?" "Why?" he gasped. "Because," he answered, "revel* is sweet." • Then she $old him she thought to- morrow would be a good time to rice papa. -London Telegraph. A Slur.

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.
