Fhe uprights are 4 by 4 inches; the wower crosspieces and fence ralls, 2 »y 4 inches, and the fence spindles and wpper crosspieces of the gate, 2 by 2 mches, as are also the short horizontal strips which extend at right angles be- tween the crosspieces, to support vines sver the archway.

BETTER THAN WOODEN FENCE Wall Constructed of Loose Stones Has Many Points of Superiority —Harmonizes With Nature. The New Englund stone wall, as a teature in landscape scenery, is some- times spoken of as a deformity; yet It cannot be denied that the same lines of wooden fence would mar the beauty of our prospect in a greater degree. On account of the loose manner In which the stones are laid one upon an- other, as well as the character of thq materials, this wall harmonizes with the rude aspects of nature better than any kind of masonry. less of a blemish than a trimmed hedge or any other kind of fence, unless in ornamental grounds. In wild pas- tures and lands devoted to rustic la- bor, the stone wall is the most plctur- esque boundary mark that has yet been invented. A trimmed hedge,jn:such places would present-to the eye an in- tolerable formality. One of the.charms of the loose stone wall is the manifest ease with which it may: be. oyerleaped. It menaces no infringement:of our lib- erties. When:ave:look abrogd upon the face of a country subdivided only by long: Iines of loose stones, and over- ‘grown with vines and shrubbery, we feel no sense of constraink, . . . Fences are deformities of prospect Bl | which we are obliged to use. and tol- erate. But the loose stone wall only 18 expressive of the freedom which is grateful to the traveler and the rambler—Wilson Flagg. __ Best to Build for Oneself. The advice to the citizen to build his own home, if possible, is good. ‘When a man bullds for himself and his family he knows precisely -what he gets, and he gets the kind of home he likes. It is better suited to the needs of himself and his family than is one that has been conséructed for some other family. . The cost of such construction may seem high, but good judges of values believe that an in- vestment of this kind, made carefulty and wisely, is the soundest and most satisfactory in the long run. o No Need of Haste. There was a rookie in the same squad T was in who objected strongly to drilling. He execnted “squads right” and “squads left” in gloomy silence, but when “double time” was given he growled loud enough for the whole squad to hear, “Hey, what's the hurry? We ain’t goin’ nowhere."— Chicago Tribune. It seems to me | BLUBBER A DELICIOUS VIAND Said to Be of Immensely Pleasant Taste, When Eaten Raw From the Seal. It has always been a mystery to me why the word “blubber” should carry such a disagreeable connotation to mil- lions of people, though not one in a million has ever tasted It, writes Vil hjalmur Stefansson in Harper's. I am often asked what seal meat tastes like and am driven to saying that it tastes like seal meat, for it does got resemble any cowmmonly known type of meat. But peither does mutton resemble any meat knowi to me, and atill ‘mutton is good eating, and so is seal. But the fat is much easier to describe. When the blubber is eaten raw, as we commonly eat it by preferu! ence, it has a flavor very similar to that of fresh cow’s cream, but when boiled it closely resembles the fat of mutton. For that reason Mr. Wilkins, who cawe from the sheep distri¢t of | Australia, was that member ol our whole expedition who most readily fell into the eating of the seal fut. | In general most men refrain frow tasting blubber because it is named blubber, until they become so fat hun- gry that they are eventually driven to trying it, and when they try it, to their surprise they invariably find it so de- licious that, if not restrained, they overeat and, as is well known, overeat- ing any form of fat causes nausea and other distressing symptoms. After one or two experiences of this sort I am now careful never to: allow a man to eat all the blubber he wants the first time he tries it, for if he gets sick he 1s almost certain to blame the seal and not his own gluttony. FIGHT ALASKA FISH -PIRATES Submarine Chasers Pa'trol Ports " to Protect Property .of Fish- ing Companies. Juneau, Alaska.—Submarine chasers ander the direction of Gov.

Somebody has been quite naturally reminded, by events in the alr, of what Benjamin Franklin said to Con- dorcet about aeronautics 136 years ago, In Paris. The French capital was just then much interested in the balloon ascensions of the Montgolfier brothers, perhaps even more excited, on the smaller scaie of the times, than modern cities over the actual crossing of the Atlantic, and wher- ever men came together the future possibilities of ballooning made an jmmediate topic of conversation. Con- dorcet, meeting Franklin, asked him i he thought an aeronaut would ever be able to steer his balloon. “The thing is in its infancy,” said Frank- lin. “It is mecessary to wait.”" “But what is the good of it?" demanded a | doubtling Thowas. “What usetul ::ur- pose will it serve?” “Gentlemen,” re- plied Franklin, “it is a child just born; let us .wait to judge it until its education is completed.”” And even now the education is far from fin- ished.
