"Papa," began Bobby, after dinner,
does it cost very much to build a
house?"
His father laid down the newspaper
ho was reading and considered the
question.
"It depends, of course, on how big
a house you want to build and how
deep your purse is," he said at length.
"Are you thinking of building a
house?"
"I've been thinking about how much
it costs," Hobby said. "And 1 wonder-
ed. There's so many winders and
doors and things. Of course, parlor
winders cost nioro'n cellar winders,
'cause they're made of better glass.
Now, Jimmy, he says some parlor
winders cost $2, but then Jimmy al-
ways puts prices up awful high. Gee,
I wislit it wouldn't rain such a lot.
We don't hardly get outdoors any."
"It's rather hard on baseball and
picnics, isn't it?"
"Well, we ain't had any plans for
picnics yet, hardly. Hilly Bays our
room at school oughter get up one,
but he begins talking picnics soon's
Christinas is over. Nellie Foster's had
one all thought out long ago, but it
ain't fair to get up one that way.
"I ain't in a awful hurry for any
picnics long's it's so wet. It's baseball
that I'm looking for. I'd like to know-
how anybody could run in all the
mud, less'n he was a flsh. It was
baseball started me thinking about
houses an' things like that."
"I suppose your idea was to build
a grandstand to protect the baseball
tans. Is that it?" asked the father.
"N-not exactly," Bobby acknowl-
edged. "You see, we don't get any
fans 'cept fellers that don't want to
sit down. They get so excited they
Just Jump up and down, an' run all
around. Jimmy he's a swell player
tills year. We was playing yesterday
and this morning before it started in
to rain In tho same dinged old way."
"Hold on! That's no way to talk."
"Why. 'dinged' isn't bud. You just
oughter hear that feller from over on
Aunt Mary's street. Geo, that's going
some, the way he talks."
"I don't like that sort of boy, my-
self."
"Oil, well, he ain't so bad," Bobby
said, hastily. "He don't say 'em, you
know. Ho just knows 'em and keeps
still. Only he told some words to us
tellers wunst. and they're worse than
'dinged.' He's a swell player, only ho
gets sore when the fellers butt in.
You see, the fellers get so excited
they pick up the ball and throw it In
when they alij't on the team at all,
and it makes him awful sore. 1 don't
blame him. do you?"
"No, I should think not. They have
no business to touch the ball."
"Well, he made me crazy talking
about houses. It was him started me
and Jimmy talking and he said houses
often cost more'u a thousand dollars.
He said you divide up a thousand dol-
lars into winders and door.; and you'd
find a door cost a heap He said there
was about twenty winders in this
house. Is there?"
"I don't thtnk I ever countcd them.
You might count them some day, jest
for fun."
"Well, anyhow, he said he could
count 'em frotu where he was and he
bet each winder upstairs cost $4 and
a cellar winder cost at least $2. I
ain't ever heard anything so foolish,
have you?"
"It was perhaps a rather high esti-
mate. Some day when we are over at
the glazier's we might ask him just
out of curiosity how much one of our
windows cost. A cellur window, for
Instance."
"I thought maybe wo might go over
that way this evening If it stopped
raining," Hobby Bald hopetuily. "\ou
ain't had a lot of walking today, have
you ?"
"Not a great deal."
"Billy says burglars always get in
I through cellar winders. Do they?"
"Not any oftener than through other
windows."
"Once wouM be often for me," Bob-
by sighed. "Balls go through winders
awful often, I think."
"So a ball went through one, did It?
I hope It wasn't where the boy would
get himself into serious trouble.''
"No, sir. That'B the nice part about
it," Bobby said cheerfully. "It was
our window. It went through, just as
easy, this morning."
"Our window? Did the boy feel sor-
ry? I suppose he offered to pay?"
"I'm- well, I'm offering now." Bobby
stammered. "It was me."—Chicago

HOW GEMS ARE IMITATED
Nature Copied With Remarkable Suc-
cess by the Men Who Make Coun-
terfeit Precious Stones.
The makers of imitation precious
gems copy nature with remarkable
success.
Zircons are composed of zlrconia.
Their luster is deceptive, a means hav-
ing been discovered of extracting the
color, thus leaving them diamonds to
all appearances, although their false-
ness promptly proclaims itself under
test.
Precious stones are frequently dyed,
with such thoroughness that, it is said,
the stone may be broken without dis-
covery of the process—that is, by the
uninitiated.
The village of Obersteln, in Ger-
many, devotes itself to the making of
imitation jewelry and the dyeing of
chalcedony and other stones. The
onyx, carnelian, bloodstone, and agate
may be enriched in color by immer-
sion in the dye-pot. The stones are
placed In vessels containing the color-
ing matter and are then subjected to
great heat for periods varying from a
few hours to a week or more. In the
case of chalcedony, which shows
bands of different degrees of Intensity,
certain of the bawls take the color
and others do not. The stone then re-
ceives a further stewing in pots con-
taining other dyes.
Fluorspar Is capable of great im
provement in tint when subjected to
a heating process and crucidolite Is
given a hue of blood-red by a similar
method.
The emerald and the cat's-eye are of
all stones the most easily imitated.
One family at Obersteln is said to
possess the secret of converting cru-
cidolite Into cat's-eye. Cat's-eye may
also be made of ara^onite, some of the
hornblende and even of fibrous gyp-
sum.—Harper's Weekly.

Excellent Samples of Seed.
On a Lasting Strike.
A man In rags, who proved to be of
good family and once a barrister at
the court of Marseilles, was arrested
1n Paris the other morning for being
without visible means of support.
"Why don't you work?" he was asked
by the magistrate. "I do not like
work," was the Ingenuous reply. The
prisoner went on to say that although
he was a lawyer in a good position,
social obligations and the necessity of
wearing good clothes became irksome
to him twenty yenrs ago. He left Mar-
seilles, his family, his friends, and re-
spectability to tramp the roads of
France, where he could breathe, he
says, as he could not breathe in the
trammels of convention. After some
years he got tired of tramping and
enlisted In the Foreign Legion under
a false name. He remained with the
corps for ten years, and then came
back to France to tramp the roads
again, begging as he went. The magis-
trate offered to find this incurable
vagabond food and lodging In a home,
but he refused, and was therefore sent
to prison.
Found Use for Sawdust.
In the consideration of a change
from steam to electric drive in a St.
Paul (Minn.) saw and box mill, the
one stumbling block was the matter
of the disposition of the sawdust ac-
cumulated about the machinery. Un-
der the old system this was made use
of under the boilers, and thus it saved
the expense of fu£l and of being car-
ried uway, but the problem was event-
ually solved by the erection of a stor
age house where the sawdust was
stored In the shape of bales and dis
posed of during the winter, when it
demanded a higher price than could
be secured in tho summer. In win-
ter the material ia in demand for bed-
ding in stables. The change from
steam to electricity proved to be a
desirable one from every standpoint
after the matter of the disposal of the
refuse was solved in this manner.
(By S. M. MILLER.)
In growing corn for seed the farmer
must first find the variety best adapt-
ed to his needs and then work to
bring it as near perfection as possible.
It is always best to select the varieties
grown on soil and in the climate
where the seed is to be improved, be-
cause the corn plant is peculiarly sen-
sitive to its surroundings.
Corn that grows well on certain
soils will often, If transplanted to oth-
er soils prove a failure, and the re-
verse is true. That Is to say, corn
which shows up badly on certain soils,
may develop to perfection on other
soils that are rightly adapted to its
needs.
This is a very important factor in
the selection of seed, and the breeder
should never go far from home for his
seed if ho can possibly obtain good
corn that has been grown on soil and
in the climate In which he expects to
conduct his breeding operation.
If he must send away for his seed,
however, he should select it from that
locality which nearest approaches his
own, both as to soil and climate.
A great deal of poor seed-corn re-
sults from a lack of care In the har-
vesting and storing. It should be al-
lowed to mature thoroughly before be-
ing picked, as immature corn does
not obtain all the plant-food Intended
for it, consequently its vitality is
weakened.
Immature corn is hard to keep, as it
is liable to sprout and unless there is
good circulation of air it will become |
heated and moldy. Seed-corn should
always be selected from the field and
never from the load at the crib.
Selecting seed at the time of gener-
al harvest is objectionable, because
many times the work is done late in
the season and in a hurry, and the
care of seed-corn is apt to be neglect-
ed.
The stalks from which seed-ears are
selected should be of medium size,
strong at the base, tapering gradually
to the tassel, and should have large
leaf-development as the loaf is the
laboratory of the plant. The stalk
should also stand erect and be free
from smut or insect attack.
Never select from stalks with suck-
give stalks, a very high per cent, of
which bear ears in a similar manner.
The first month after it has been
picked is the most critical time in tho
handling of seed-corn. As it contains
a large amount of moisture at that
time, it must be stored in a dry, well
ventilated place, and in^such a way
that each ear will be exposed to a free
circulation of air. Seed-corn should
always be stored in the ear, but never
in barrels, boxes, or sacks, or abovo
large quantities of grain.
There are many ways of preserving
seed-corn, as by striking the butts on
sharp nails driven through a board,
tying ears together in pairs and hang-
ing them over a wire, or, by laying
tliem on racks. Any method that will
provide a fiee circulation of air is de-
sirable.
The corn should be thoroughly
dried and protected throughout tho
winter from all sudden or extreme
changes of temperature or humidity.
It must never be allowed to freeze be-
fore it is thoroughly dry, as its fer-
tility will be affected.
Probably the best place to storo
seed-corn is in the attic. Experiments
conducted by Professor Holden, at the,

ctun V
Corn Grains in Cross Sections, Show-
ing Proportions of Starch, Gluten,
Etc.
Iowa station, show that, where seed
was stored in more than forty differ-
ent ways, the attic proved to be tho
best place.
The next best place is in a cellar
where the furnace is placed. The
average cellar is too damp and the
corn never dries out thoroughly.
Seed-corn hung up on wires or
strings under an open shed or in a
dry barn, keeps fairly well, but even,
there, experience shows that much.
Ears, to be of good size and qual- j seed-corn is either killed or weakened
For Invisible Writing.
There are several ways in which
two persons can correspond with each
other unknown to even the persons
before whoso eyes the very letter is
held. For instance, new milk may be
used as ink. When dried this Is In-
visible, but if coal dust or soot be
scattered upon the paper the writing
becomes legible. Diluted sulphuric
acid, lemon juice, solutions of nitrate
and chloride of cobalt or of chloride
of copper write colorless, but on being
heated the characters written with
the first two become black or brown,
and the latter green. And when the
paper becomes cool the writing disap-
pears. leaving the paper blank again.
Two good invisible inks are made by
saltpeter dissolved 1ft water and equal
parts of sulphate of copper and sal
ammoniac dissolved in water.—An-

Killing With Electricity.
The French people, scientists as
well as owners of slaughter houses
and consumers of beef, mutton and
pork, have become interested In exiwri-
ments for the more humane killing of
animals—especially for food products
—not only to save tho creatures from
unnecessary pain, but to better the con-
dition of meats which go to the con
6umer.
Dr. S. Leduc, who has been conduct-
ing tho experiments at the abattoir in
Nantes, has killed by electricity a
great number of animals—oxen, bulls,
cows, horses, hogs, sheep, calves and
dogs—using a current of 110 volts,
with an intensity of from 40 to 80
milllamperes. Tho current was Inter-
rupted 100 times per second, passing
each time during one-thousandth of a

because the seed gathered moisture
during warm, damp spells, and then
was injured by cold weather which,
froze it later.
Sometimes corn will sprout all right
in the- spring, hut that is no sign that
it has a vitality to grow well. Much
of it may have been so weakened that
if the season is cold, or the seed ia
planted too deep, it will only give
weak stalks, and never attain its
proper groWlh or vigor.
In selecting seed-corn it Is import-
ant that more is involved than merely
looking at the ears. The kernels must
be studied. By shelling off a portion
of the ear from tip to butt a perfect
ear will show the kernels close to-
gether where they are joined to the
cob, of uniform size and shape, com-
