The city en finder is of the opinion that the rability of a permanent type of Hi pavement would be decidedly uncer- : es Contracting ap a five- bought at slight cost. Also bolts, nuts and washers should always be kept on hand in different sizes. A few rods of reund fron, about %, 3% and % inches in diameter, should also be kept, from which to make links for chains, and a supply of open rings aud clevises. These articles oftén break in the busy sea- gon, and many expensive delays may be saved by having them handy, It % not a dificult job to put in a new uggy shaft or wy nm tongue, and f a supply of lumber is kept on hand the farmers may take advantage of stormy weather in winter, when no work can; be 'done outdoors, and make gates, doors, ladders and other equipment which may be needed about the farm. The shop should be furnished with 4 good forge and blower for doing blacksmith work, and a stove will be found necessary to make the place comfortable in winter. In addition to the forge and blower, the follow- ing tools will be needed for doing iron work: a Blacksmith's hammer, a light hantiner, a 'set of twist drill bits, a set of taps and dies for cut- ting thredds, two or three cold chis- els, and several sizes of punches. For woodwork, put up a substan- tial work bench about ten feet long. A carpenter's viee should be placed on one side of the bench, near the end, and a bench stop at one end of the bench to hold boards for plank- ing. : Most farmers will not need a Complete set of carpenter's tools, but at least the following should He purchased at the start, and other tools may be added from time to time as they are needed: a hatchet, u rip saw, a cross'cut hand saw, a set of chisels, a wooden mallet, 'a brace and set of wood boring bits, a draw knife, two planes and a steel sqnare. It is a good plan to overhaul the farm machinery at least once a year, and the repair shop will be found a convenient place in which to do this work, Clean up the woodwork and metal parts of mowers, binders, cul- tivators, ete., and give them a-eoat of paint when it is needed. Tighten all loose bolts and sharpen the teeth of arrows and cultivators so they will be in shape for immediate use when needed. If the old knives and guard plates on the mower are worn so they will no longer do first class work, they shéuld be replaced with new ones. It will also pay to clean up. the buggies, carriages and wag- gons, and protect them by a coat of good paint, This will add years to their usefulness, and greatly improve their appearance, and will save their owner many dollars annually on the cost of new equipment. The amount of money squandered by the farmers of our country by exposing waggons and implements to the weather and allowing them to deteriorate through rust and decay, would in many cases represent the difference between pro- fit and loss in the operation of the farm. If in some way we could 'be compelled to take better care of. our farm machinery, and would invest the amount saved in this manner in understood that it was giving good service.

Ald. Graham said that the people "paying the shot should have the say." The Board of Works, he claimed, should: mot force a pavement upon residents when they did not want it.

Litton stated further that a tender had been received for tarvia, but he and other members of the Board of Works did not consider it a good pavement for a* street railway track allowance. Ald.

" "Tis a story of absorbing interest cut out of human experience," wrote Harriot Stanton Blateh, the great suffrage leader, af- ter witnessing a performance of Bay- dard Veiller's smashing drama of modern conditions in New York life, which will be seen at the Grand to- might. This is the play which ran over 600 nights at the Eltinge thea- tre in New York. It has been called "the play the presidents go to see," use both Woodrow Wilson and heodore Roosevelt have not only enjoyed the performance, but hive written of it in highest praise to the author. .
